ie Indulged in by Men Callers in Stores—Woudl Not e nx Think of Doing It e— — ■' IN OWN HOMES Menace to Health—Relic of e Old Time of Spitting in “ Kitchen Hearth. e A Decatur merchant was taking ad3 vantage of the few warm days to , enamel the heating stove in his i store. j “Yes. I suppose it will soon burn oft ;■ and that it will not look nice very ) long,” he said. But the damage , done to its looks by burning off 's > -lothlng at all cont|>ared to what will l-e done to it by men who come in and spit at it. I “Men seem to have a mania for spitting at' something. If there is . no cuspidor, they spit at' the stove, until its sides are all cake-1 and the stench is som>thing terrible, to say nothing of the air which must be full of any germs that the sputum carries. And then I have to clean it uj|” Now this store recently had its woodwork nicely painted. The merchant pointed to the erstwhile clean door which l-ore brown, terrible stains. ' That is where one man spit tobacco Juice as he was leaving the -tore," the merchant said. Os course wc cannot si>enk to them about It. l-ecause that would mesn a loss of their trade. Hut I do not see why they cannot use the same regard for a store that they would for their home. -Of i-ourse, in many cases, those who spit in a store, spit on the floors ol their own homes. The stove spitting act is a remnant of days gone by when many used to sit around the kitchen stove and spit 'at' the open hearth. If th-7 missed it and the cud flew up near the pan wlier? the mush was frying. «H »•» antl K<x><l an) how. if it w '* nt ,nto the he“rthwhere the sputtering and steam-ria-Ing was soon effective, so much the better. The trouble with these promiscuous tpitters to that they don't only "to ba-co spit" their own lives away, but tn ey are “spitting away the Ilves" ot those who ptw that way. CHANGES HANDS.

UNSIGNED COMMUNICATIONS. Wo aro in receipt of an unsigned article concerning the dedication of tiie new monument. "We have frequently called attention to tiie fact that when a person sends in arti- lefor puoif- ation, they should be signed, it they are expected to bo used. If you believe In some Idea, you should back it and not ask tile newspaper to do so, without giving them a chance to refer to tiie w riter. As to tiie dcdl.'a ion or tiie monument It should be remembered that it was built by the people of Adams county and is dedicated to tiie old soldiers and the W. R.
