However, they will rot quit fighting because of these good prophecies, but will keep on in an effort to roll up a real majority in the Hoosier state. ************** MAYOR’S PROCLAMATION. * * * * Decatur, Ind., Nov. 23, 1911. * * Thanksgiving D<ay is with us * * again and the custom of our peo- * * pie in keeping this day, and ob- * * serving it as a day of fasting and * * prayer had its origin with the pil- * * grim fathers, way back in 1621,!* * and if they could find cause for * * the observance of this day, how * * much more should we, their des- * * cendants rejoice and return our * * heartfelt thanks to the Ruler of * * the Universe, for His special care * * and guidance of the people of the * * Unitea States.

NO NEED TO STOP WORK. When your doctor orders you to stop w’ork, It staggers you. “I cant,” you say. You know you are weak, rundown and failing in health, day by day, but you must work as long as you can stand. What you need is Electric Bitters to give tone, strength, and vigor to your system, to prevent breakdown and build you up. Don’t be weak, s[ckly or ailing when Electric Bitters will benefit jou from the first rose. Thousands bless them for their glorious health and strength. Every bottle is guaranteed to satisfy. Only 50c at the Holthouse Drug Co. o - IT CAN’T BE BEAT. Ml. I I — The worst case of constipation in Decatur was positively cured by using 49 Anti-Constipation Tablets. 49 Tablets are entirely different from a cathartic as they stimulate the stomach and bowel muscles and enable them to perform their natural work, and rip- i ture does the rest. Cathartics aggra- i vate your condition. Leave them alone. A box of 49 Tablets only costs you 25c for 35 tablets, at all gists. 261tf ; o MIGHT NEED THE CLUB LATER Old Scotch Caddie’s Retort to the Golfer Who Got Out of “Hell” Bunker, This is a new one, brought to town ’ by Jack Pickard from the Mayfield ‘ Country club on the links whereof be frequently chases the elusive pill, says the Cleveland Leader. It has to do with an American golfer going over a Scotch links, attended by one of those hoary caddies who only begin to flourish after they are past the seventieth milestone. This caddie had , a separate name, n6t only for each hole, but for every tee hazard and bunker. And for each name he had j some philosophical reason. “How far is It over to that bunker?” asked the American, preparing for a long drive. "Aboot twa hun’red an’ feefty yard, sir,” from the caddie. “An’ the bunker’s name Is hell. For once ye’re in, sir, ye’ll ne’er get oot.” Followed the drive, which brought the ball right whera it wasn’t wanted, and the caddie ill concealed his merriment. Nothing daunted, the visitor selected his niblick and by a fortunate loft freed himself from an unfortunate situation, landing easily on the green. “How about that bad piece of yourk now?” he demanded of his ancient coddle, not without a bit of exulta. tion. “Weel, sir,” replied the man, “I’d advise ye to tak' this club wl’ ye when ye coom to dee. Ye maun need it.” NO HUNTING ALLOWED. Anyone caught hunting on my farm in Root township will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. 269t6 MRS. HOSANNAH DAILEY.

wife or widow, in their tottering age and sickness, we want to do something for them. When introduced to a little, old lady, whom they called “Aunt Mary’,” she W’as refusing her dinner—and just because some one had sent her one-half glass of jam. This is only one Instance. They have every care and kindness that such a home can give them, but Jellies, jams and juices cannot be furnished them by the home. Always, as heretofore, the W. R. C. of Indiana has sent these- "nd do yet—but we must remember that age brings more into the hospital at the home; also it domes to the members of the W. R. C., causing them to become weaker In numbers, also ability to fill these duties with so many others. It is our desire with the help of our friends, to send a barrel of jellies, jams and fruit juices to this home so that on next Christmas Day each room can be given a glass or dish of these fruits. Can we not say that our city, our “Booster City," will help us to make these aged people “Merry on that Christmas Day,” and it will make us happy to know tnat ke have helped elsewhere, especially to the aged people, whose “menu” must follow at doctor’s prescription. If you have anything to offer us telephone 525 or 547, and we will gladly call for it, or we may come to your door and ask your assistance. LUCILE SMITH, Pres. CECIL ANDREWS, Sec’y.
