Keep your back-bone stiff and remember always that we are for Decatur, first, last and always. Let’s do it for the year. 1 i No city in Indiana can now boast better fire equipment than Decatur, That's some jump, from the worst to the best. There is only one way to do anything and that is—do it right. Let’s follow the rule along every line this tear. Real winter, if you please! It’s all right, but a little too much so, and if it’s ail the same to the man at the throttle, he can turn down the thermometer about twenty degrees, without making anybody real mad, or causing any serious factions. Albert Edward Wiggam, in his lecture Friday evening, said tnat the boy who had a rich dad, was handicapped in a pitiful manner. The lad who prepared himself for the battle, who is used to the knocks when tho time comes, is the fellow who makes good always, over the boy who has nothing but his father's reputation. There can be no question but that good sense, educated, is a far better asset than all the dollars that could be bequeathed you on ten pages. The selection of Bernard Korbly as state chairman seems to be worrying the republican press of Indiana considerably. They are insisting that Edward Hoffman of Fort Wayne was a candidate for the place, but that gentleman declares otherwise and it is known that he would not have accepted the place under any consideration. Mr. Korbly is a young man with every qualification necessary and he will make an ideal chairman. The republicans have a right to fear him. With, so many troubles of their own, the

Martha Ketler. t! 0 A FEW FACTS. II Osteopathy combines every good 1 i I feature of non-drugging systems, be--3 i sides its own distinctive therapeutics, > I thereby making it par-excellent. Posi--1 tive establishment of proper nerve . force and blood circulation enables . nature to throw off disease, hygiene, diet, sanitation, hydrotheropy, aseps sis, etc., naturally are parts of osteo- . ' pathy. Many operations are practic- . ally criminial, but needful ones are ' necessary. If nothing else demonstrated ost*> ' pathy’s worth, this one fact would, viz, >’ within the last ten years mechano- - theropy, spondylotherapy, neuropathy, • chiropractic and physiocultopathy, - 1 have sprung up, each one trying to s i demonstrate that it is better than os--1 ’ teapathy, some claiming to use osteo--3 : pathy and others by severe and harm- ? ful treatment, hurting osteopathy ; with those uninitiated, who believe it r is osteopathy. The facts are these, - not one of thes? systems, have ever managed to thrive at all, when charges equal to those made by a licensed osteopath are asked. Now, doesn't this clearly settle supremacy? i . Osteopaths are skilled operators, attending school four years, whereas in I the man, the “near cults” study by mail and receive their credentials at so much per diploma. State licensing boards recognize none of them, showing there is a nigger in the wood pile somewhere. Many diseases are curable by more than one kind of treatment, medicine is of value at times, but no system on earth has made such rapid strides in such short time as osteopathy. Twen-ty-five years ago all people used drugs, whereas today, 11,000,000 people in the United States have turned to osteopathy and more follow daily. Socailed incurable cases many times ! yield to osteopathy, In fact our percentage of cures are larger than those of any other. All systems put together, can’t cure everything, but skilled, • trained osteopaths are surely advancing cures daily. Consult the best ’ when the opportunity Is before you. . No harm can result, as our treatment Is not severe; the smallest babe can be treated All acute and chronic di- • senses treated. 'R. p. STARKWEATHER, M M. D. 0. Phone 314 for appointment.
