The apple of discord is th/ favorite fruit of some people. Wisdom always knows when to quit. Food for reflection is very fattening. The news of an advance in prices travels much faster than a reduction which may follow. Mrs. Jesse Cole left this morning for Grand Rapids, Mich., where she will visit over Thanksgiving with her brother, L. S. Carroll. Bill Bowers. Earl Colter and Frank Smith went to Rome City this morning, where they will spend Thanksgiving at the Bowers cottage. George Kinzle, local manager for the Citizens' Telephone company, made a business trip to Chicago last evening. He will return home this afternoon. Grand preparations have been made for the Phi Delta Kappa banquet, to bo given this evening at 7:30 at the Murray hotel. All former members of the fraternity are invited. Th' Lord helps those who help 'emselves, while th' public must take care of th’ others. A kindly manner goes lots further with a clerk than a charge account. —Abe Martin. Fred Schurger, manager of the C. . B. L. of I. hall, announces that he will give his weekly dame on Thursday evening instead of Wednesday. There will be no dance on Wednesday evening. As there will not be a Thursday issue of the Democrat on account of Thanksgiving, the public is invited to send in an account of their family dinners and Thanksgiving reunions to us Friday. Rube Wilkenh, the original fun producer, was here today arranging for a company of five acrobats to show at the Crystal theater soon. Rube always has something new and entertaining. The revival meeting at St. Paul church, south of the city, was largely attended Sunday evening. Among th<> number were Bill Gauze and Kittie Zerkle of this city and Floyd Shoaff and Vedma Springer. The work of putting in the founds tion for the alley building on the Julius Haugk property on Madison street has begun in full blast. The supports have already been erected, and the job of throwing in the concrete has commenced. Charles E. Meyer is planning to move to the south part of the state, where he will conduct a five and ten cent store. He is offering for sale several good articles of household furniture. He will leave with his family the first of the year. Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Bell left this morning for Detroit, where they will eat Thanksgiving turkey with E. B Newton and family and Mys.

The furniture for the Lost Brothers' barber shop has arrived an<f as soon as their room in the People's Loan & Trust company building is ready for occupancy the shop will be opened to the public. The furniture is of the best, and the barber shop will be run on a very sanitary basis. Post cards, and postal cards bearing particles of glass, metal, mica tinsel, sand or other similar substances are unmailable except when enclosed in envelopes and tightly sealed to prevent the escape of such particles, or when treated in such a manner as will prevent the objection- ' able substances from being rubbed off Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson Manly and son, Arthur, left Tuesday noon on the Cincinnati Northern for Adrian, Mich., where they will spend Thanksgiving and the remainder of the week with Mr. Manly’s brother, Benjamin Manly, and family, and from there they will extend their visit on to Pittsford, Mich., for a few days’ visit with Wes Myers and family, who recently moved there from Van Wert county. During the last several days two foreigners who refused to give their names, have been soliciting the business bouses in this city for financial aid, presumably for the Turkish destitute. They have left the city for parts unknown, and it. now appears as if their story was .a “frame-up” as part of it. that they were qualified to accept, donations from Catholic parishes. is denied by Rev. John G. KI ler, who questioned them Sunday as to a letter from the bishop of this diocese, which they would have to have in order to be free io act as | they did.—Hartford City News.

» The Lincoln highway bridge over the St. Mary’s river at Fort Wayne will be built by Carmichael & Cry- . der, of St. Louis, Mo„ at a cost of $70,474. This bid was $19,000 lower ( than the next lowest, which was sub- , initted by the Drnvo Construction company of Pittsburg, and SIO,OOO below the city council appropriation. I The publishers of the Youth s Com- . panion will, as always at this season, present to every subscriber whose subscription is paid for 1915, a calendar for the new year. It is a gem of cal-endar-making. The decorative mounting is rich, but the main purpose has been to produce a calendar that is use- ‘ ful, and that purpose has been achieved. Walter W. Newman, aged thirty-five years, and Wilhelm Hartman, aged ! twenty-three years .were burned to ' death at Ft. Wayne, when the barn at the home of the latter's parents, Mr. ’ and Mrs. Gottfreld Hartman, was totally destri\ed by fire. The blaze evidently started from a coal oil stove, beside which tile victims were sleeping. A ! great decrease in the number of collisions and derailments of railroad trains for the quarter ended Juno 3d, 1914, as compared with the preceding quarter was reported by the interstate commerce commission. As compared with Jhe corresponding quarter of 1913 there was a decrease of 737 in the number of train accidents. Defective roadway and defective equipment together caused more than 72.3 per cent of all derailments reported. In train accidents the total number of persons killed was 104, while 2,157 were 'n jured. In the December American mr.g n< David Grayson, author of “Adventun s in Contentment,” begins a new novel entitled “Hempfield” in the course of which he comments as follows as tc how a man feels when he meets and talks to a woman. “Whenever I have met a woman I have had a curious sense of being with someone a little higher or better than I am, to whom I should bow or to whom I should present something, or with whom I should joke. Witli whom I should not. after all, be quite natural! I wonder if this is at all an ordinary experience with men, —I wonder if anyone will understand me when I say that there has always seemed to me something not quite proper in talking to a woman directly, seriously, without reservation, as to a man.” Children are among the most eager buyers and enthusiastic sellers of Red Cross seals. In scores of other cities, such as Cleveland, St. Louis, Milwaukee, Grand Rapids, Detroit, Providence, Wilmington, Harrisburg, Washington and Seattle, the boys and girls are helping to fight tuberculosis with Red Cross seals. One nine-year-old girl in Duluth last year sold 4,500 seals in four days. A Meriden. Conn., bov of ten sold "0,000 in three weeks. A Wilmington, Del., girl of ten sold 10,000, Some of the children in Buffalo sold over 1,000 in a week. The schools of St. Louis sold over 250,000 seals, and in other cities they added largo sums to the anti-tuberculosis fund. Everywhere the boys and girls arc going in the fight against tuberculosis by selling Red Cross seals. In the current issue of Farm and Fireside attention is called to the fact that the department of agriculture is warning farmers to beware of crooks who want to loan money. According tt the Farm and Fireside the department calls attention to the scheme of certain loan companies that promise cheaper money than anyone else can get for them. Such a company will offer to loan money on good security for about three per cent interest and allow you to repay the lean in eash installments. The sr-ieme sounds good, but when ycu sign your name to the papers you merely sign an application for the loan and you do not get the money, and neither do you know when ycu are going to get it. But by signing the paper you have obligated your self to pay a certain amount every month. The publicity which rural credit has received has caused dishonest loan companies to follow the band wagon. Two little shoes, found in the pockets of a mortally wounded Belgian soldier, have touched the heart strings of the nurses, attendants and physicians in the French hospital, where ho lies at the point of death. The story of the shoes is a heart-rending one. With a letter they were found in this Belgian soldier's pocket. The letter was addressed to his wife, from whom he had been separated since the destruction of Tennonde, their home. In tender words he penned the message. stating that he was enclosing a pair of shoes (hanging at the head of his hospital cot) for their three-year-old baby, with the money he had earned as a scout in King Albert’s army. The tenderness of the letter and the mute nathes of the little shoes have moved everyone in the hospital to employ every known agency of skill, science and hard work to snatch the brave soldier from the pathway of the “Grim R°ap'er” and restore him, il possible, to his little family,.

NOT A FULL EXPLANATION Woman Novelist May Be Right as to Cause of Woman’s Jealousy, But How About Man’s? A woman novelist, interviewed as to Jealousy, has said: “When a woman is economically dependent on a man she is naturally afraid that if he transfers his affections he will transfer her support along with them. She is afraid of losing her daily bread. . . . That is the explanation of a girl's jealousy of her sweetheart before marriage. She is really afraid ho will take on the job of supporting some other woman than herself.” That is “economic determinism” for true —economic determination being the doctrine (when stated extremely) that the bread and butter struggle motives the world. Romantic ladies may find some salve for this theory of jealousy in : the fact that the novelist in question is a spinster. As to the theory, far be it from Mere Man to question tho Pythoness. But a right-angled query may be advanced. If woman’s jealousy j is a fear of not being “took care of” what is the source of mail’s je.alousy? o — FOR RENT —12 acres of ground with good house and barn inside city i corporation, Decatur, will rent house and barn separately, with orchard and garden. This is what is known at the Koenig property in south part of town. See Graham & Walters. 25Stf
