Entered at the postofflce in Decatur, <ndlana, as second class matter. We again call the attention of the mothers ot Decatur and vicinity t £> th' fact that there is prevalent a double epidemic of typhoid fever and abdominal influenze. The disease are similar in every respect and each so seri oua that several deaths have resulted. The cause has not been discovered but the best precaution is that of boiling the milk and water used in the home. It is said that the typhoid germ al-1 ways comes from milk or water or infection. Guard these things and you will not have it. The health of your family should be of such importance that yon do this without further insistence on the part of the physicians and officers who are doing everything they can.

’ Referring to the criticism of Pre-d- - dent Wilson because he does not ru.-lt troops into Mexico the New York : World says; "Between 1861 and IM>.‘ I there were thousands of politicians and editors in the north who were sure that they could put down the rebellion better titan Abraham Lincoln was doing it. There are thousands of them ’ today wito are sure that they could s ileal witlt the Mexican situation bet- ) te.r than Woodrow Wilson is doing 11. ) In times of great public stress or of ( delicate foreign complications, the 1 'man who knows all about it is the ‘ man who is not charged with personal responsibility for the action of the gov • ernment. Any tool clothed with the • powers of the presidency could plunge the United States into a war with Mexico. There is nothing easier in government than shedding somebody else’s blood. There is nothing cheaper j than assailing a president for being a statesman instead of a swashbuckler." Mr. Butler gloats over the organization of a new party in Adams county' and while he denies the fatherhood of this infant he is taking a mighty Io: of interest in it, if it’s no relation. He also rather intimates that it is worrying us, that we flutter as does a wounded bird, that we are losing sleep and that the end of everything is near. We deny all the allegations. We have

neither fluttered nor worried, except i that we do regret that there are a few of thos< pu.li.-lied in the list whom w leel are injuring themselves and no ■ one else. Set far as the results next lull, there h;i( never been u fount it: r mind. Ti- democrats will win / two thousa.id.J There ha alway l>< i two tickets in like field and we don’t see much difference whether you call it "republican" or "independent." It’ these men feel like bolting they would probably vote the republican ticket anyway and there are many republi cans who. before they would vote a, j halfway ticket would prefer voting the democratic ticket straight. Wc feel | certain that neither Mr. Butler nor Mr. Rohrer can come any nearer delivering the solid republican and pr<>gr< -sive vote than can Milton Miller in j delivering the solid democratic vote, in the words of Paul Jones.

— $1 STARTS YOUR SON AND DAUGHTER. We want the children to form flood habit*. People acquire sex’d I habits as easily as bad ones. But it it hard to convince some people of the fact If we succeed in in- I culcating the hab t of thrift upon the children we will not only give them a competency when they grow up. but we w ,1 have given them what is more—character and industry and thrift. Ws want our children to realise that they can no more build a fortune without *he first dollar than they caa build a house without the first j brick. We want them to realise that a dollar in the bank is worth two in the pocket. We want to teach them as they grow old j enough to understand what money is. to make an invariable rule to get the daily habit of econo- ’ mixing. It matters little how p small, if it is regular. The ch<d < will be delighted at the end of 1 the year to see how much has been accumulated w thout being missed. Then as the years roll | on and the habit of thrift becomes firmly fixed they will seise the op- 1 portunity that surely comes to ] every man and woman in life.
