Entered at the postoffice in Docatur, The movement for currency reform is making encouraging heaoway. It is said that the democrats in congress have practically all been converted to! the presidents idea that the work' should be completed at the present session. And what is quite as important the republicans are beginning to show a disposition to cooperate. On Wednesday night the president conferred with the senate finance committee, the republican members bing present, it is said that these latter, with possibly one exception, expressed their willingness to work with the | president for banking and currency reform at the present time. The bankers have also been heard, and it is likely that some of their suggestions will be embodied in the bill. Mr. Wilton stands strongly for government control, and it is said that some of the bankers are becoming reconciled to this idea. However, they ask that they have some representation on the central board. It is suggested that this be from seven to eleven members and that the four new members be bankers. Many of the democrats favor the creation of a bankers’ advisory board of twenty or twenty-five members which shall meet with the central board once a month. It is thought that something may be done in the line of these two proposals.—lndianapolis News. The Chautauqua will be a great thing for this community and is deserving of your very best efforts. I’oost—not half hearted, but earnestly. "Decatur can and will’’ and this is another time when it should. Let’s make it a big week, one that will be a moral uplift as well as a delightful taid-summer entertainment. The Bluffton papers claim that their team of firemen sent here for the convention were again given the worst of the decisions. Isn’t it queer that the people from that town are, always mistreated no difference where they go or in what kind of a contest they enter. Its fiard for them to allow any one to treat them kindly. The boys are off for Gettysbuig, scene of the terrible conflict of fifty years ago. There the boys in blue will

There was a mark, d I decrease in infant mortality in Indi- ■ anapolis last year and Dr. Morgan • attributed it to the fact that motlie s ■ are learning how to care for their 1 children. “Keep he baby at home," h eadvises. “Do not takethe child to public places during the summer months. The child's place is in the home during this season, when ex- ‘ treme care should be taken to guard ■ its health. Excessive heat is bad lor I grownups, but it is worse si ill for the baby. Dress the baby cool an 1 comfortably. Do not allow it to fret or to eat uncooked fruits. Keep it out of the hot sun and feed it milk that has been kept cold on i< <. > Warm milk permits bacteria to multiply. The Infant's food should be . kept cool to assure the purity of it? ■ milk. If these instructions are r ol I lowed the infant mortality rate will be lower than ever this year.” DurI ing the last few weeks few cases of infantile disases have been reported to the health board and its members 1 are expressing hope that the death rate of children will be low tis summer. nil a- ■ — T.
