At that time, Miss Jean Luts will entertain. Miss Lutz had a splendid paper last evening, her subject being on Um early history of Decatur. Mrs. W. C. McKinney, who for eight years during the residence of the family here, has been associated with fire Christian church of this city, was fcifen a farewell surprise last evening by twenty-five or thirty of the members. The way for the surprise was paved when It was told her that her Sunday school class would meet her, as is the regular custom of dying, to study the lesson. She was greatly surprised, however, to find that not only the class members, but others of the congregation came. A social time was spent and a fine picnic supper spread. The McKinney family will leave next week for their former home at Russiaville and the many friends whom they have made here are indeed sorry to have them go. At a meeting of the United Brethren Sunday school council at the home of the superintendent, John B. Kiracofe, last evening. It was decided to have a special Easter service Sunday morning and evening of Easter.

Paul knew’ what it was and he knew what it would mean to turn back and disobey God. When God speaks to you, turn out of your life of sin and face the world a new man or woman. Strength in His Sermon. Every word and sentence In the sermon was backed by the strength and infinite power of God. When a man hears the truth he knows it, and the truth in Mr. McCombe's sermon was enough to convince any person that they are in the right or wrong. At the close of the sermon his call for repenters brought nine faithful women to the of Jesus Christ. Mrs. McCombe offered a special prayer for those who had taken the grandest step of one's life, followed by a short speech by Rev. Rogers of the Decatur. Baptist church. Rev. Rogers extended a cordial Invitation to any delegation from Willshire at any time, promising them seats in the tabernacle, if the committee Is notified in time. Next Monday evening the party will hold a meeting at Berne and everybody is invited to join the party in these meetings. The roads are in fine condition and there will be plenty of room in the Mennonite church to accommodate any one who cares to accompany the party.

Indianapolis, Ind., Mar. 9 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —“The head of the whole gigantic conspiracy the Terre Haute election was Don M. Roberts,” declared Attorney Dailey tody, in his statement to the jury in the trial of Roberts and twenty-seven other politicoans in federal court here. "Roberts served jn the dual capacity of mayor and chairman of one of the parties and he ruled in both places as the czar.’’ District Attorney Dailey's statement was drastic. He placed tha conspiracy directly at the shoulders of Roberts, but Roberts sat unconcerned throughout. “Roberts has had long practice in the larceny of elections,” said Dailey. “Terre Haute probably has the largest 'red light' district of any city its size in the world. In Precinct A of the Sixth ward are 125 open and notorious houses of ill fame, allowed to run Under police protection. Roberts used the lasb to make the keepers do as he said. If they refused he put them cut of business. The evidence will show that these were completely under control of an ambitious and corrupt mayor.” Alleged election plot to “use the gun” and “pick off" unfavorable election board membeif;; to “slug citizens at the polls, railroad innocent persons to jail to prevent them interfering with the scheme of Roberts and his conspirators,’’ were outlined by the district attorney. They were laid on the shoulders of former Night Chief John Nugent and Hilton Redman, son of the judge, members of the police department and “important sluggers from Indianapolis working under the direction of Roberts.” Daily charged that Nugent directed the work in "getting Wesley Mitchell,” a progressive election sheriff. t> GOVERNOR SIGNS BILLS.

SKIN TROUBLES AND DIET Dermatologists Have Made Discovery, and Give Valuable Advice to the Afflicted. There is reason to believe that there is a close connection between many forms of skin trouble and tho diet. One significant thing is the singular stubbornness of many skin disorders and their mysterious tendency to recur even when the physician continues the form of treatment that at flrjt seemed to act as a cure. Among these rebel lious skin troubles are acne, eczema, psoriasis and urticaria. All four diseases are likely to respond to treat ment at first, but too often they return obstinately, as a stream of water returns when it has been swept back by a broom. That common characteristic has set the physicians searching for some common underlying cause. As a result of their investigations It is generally believed that there is a direct relation between the metabolism —that is to say, the chemical changes by which food is transformed into body tissue—and the condition of the ekin. But although we accept it as a fact that many kinds of skin trouble are dependent on tho diet, it is still ncc essary to experiment with each case until we have found the particular diet that is best for it After that has been accomplished there is constant need for the patient to exercise all the self control he possesses, for these obstinate skin disorders cannot be cured in a few days or even a few weeks. A regulated diet does not mean simply going without this or adding that article of food. One leading dermatologist has defined it as “such a regulation of the quantity and quality of food and drink, its mode of preparation, and the time and method of its consumption as shall conduce to the restoration and maintenance of the health of the body, including the skin.” The patient, therefore, must co-operate faithfully with his physician or the cure will fail. —Youth's Companion. MUCH IN THE APPEARANCE Coupled With a Cheery Manner It Will Greatly Help a Person on His Life’s Journey. The matter of neatness of appearance of their staff is being taken up by employers very widely. One great railroad has a “bureau of neatness,’ through which ail new conductors, ticket sellers and other employees are supplied with a little circular upon the importance of a neat appearance. A foreign ambassador, who has served at several large capitals of the world, told lately of an emissary who had returned to him from a mission and announced failure. “Were you, may I ask, wearing that waistcoat?” with thumb jerked in the direction of the crumpled garment “1 •was.” “Then,” said his chief, “I do not marvel at your lack of success.” Next to a cheery manner, a neat appearance is any man’s best capital The two together create an atmosphere in which “luck” likes to linger. Success will not come to meet you half way unless you look inviting and agreeable.—Christian Herald.

A Good Idea. A certain mill owner was getting very exasperated with his men over the condition of the cloth which they produced. Out of about every ten lengths sent through to the warehouse five or six of them had holes in. In the hope of stopping this the proprietor informed the men that for all the holes they made he would stop a shilling In their wages. The next week a length came in with two holes in it close together. The proprietor, therefore, sent for the man who had done it and said: "Now, Jones, I told you that for every hole that you made in the cloth you would be fined one shilling, and here is a piece with two holes in.” Jones picked up the cioth and looked at it, then suddenly tore the two holes into one. "That saves a shilling, then,” he said, Sawdust as a Dressing. Dr. Charles W. Cathcart urges In the British Medical Journal the use of pinewood sawdust as a dressing for wounds. It must be obtained from absorbent wood, sifted through a No. 8 sieve, and then through a No. 40 sieve to remove the dust. It must be sewn up in sterilized gauze bags, loosely filled, and these are placed upon the wound. They absorb the discharges, deodorize the secretions and act to a slight extent as antiseptics. Emptied the House. “There we were, a big audience in the house and the back of the stage on fire,” said the vaudeville manager. “Mercy! What did you do?” asked Slithers. “Why,” said the manager, “I went out before the curtain and announced that as an extra Harrison Von Boob had volunteered to tell the audience the story of how he got from San Moritz to London after the war broke out, and in just three minutes there wasn’t a soul left in the house!”- —Judge. Glut of Peach Stones. A pile of 500 tons of peach stones las accumulated at the entrance to a great canning factory in California, where it has been the custom in other fears to crack the pips, ship the kernels to Germgffy for the manufacture ■>f prussic acid, and other chemicals, ind sell the shells for fuel. The Germn demand has fallen off thia year.

COME BACK HOME (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) imports could not be increased, no m atter whether the Payne-Aldrich tariff or the present Underwood tariff was in full force and effect. The ."e---publtcan politicians have started this hard times tariff cry too early, and there is no danger but that the American people will awaken to the true cause and the true reason for the pres ent business depression. The present cackle of the disgruntled lien will have but little weight with the conscientious voter when the time comes to solve the present or any future problem. Instead of complaint, every American citizen should now be busy upholding the hands of President \\ ilson in keeping this country out of war. To accomplish this it has required great diplomacy and statesmanship and should this country succeed in this alone the gratitude of the greatest nation in the world will be bestowed upon that accomplished American residing in the white house. Even the patriotic efforts of those benevolent gentlemen at the head of the Columbia club and its blind tiger will he in va‘|. President Wilson stands first for peate and the great mass of the American citizenship are standing with him and for him, and are praying that he will succeed.

Senator John W. Kern arrived today from Washington, where he has been serving his country as the junior senator from this state. He began his career in the senate along with Vice President Marshall, and he, too, has been busy during the past two years. It has been a remarkable career he has enjoyed in that time, now being the senate leader, quite a distinction for such a. short service. As senate leader he is not only the most prominent, but the most powerful in this distinguished body. He. too, has carried his honors well, and now comes back home to enjoy the society of his friends and a well deserved and much needed rest from the activities of public life. .—o BISHOP H. L. BARKLEY. The Huntington Herald says, in connection with publishing a picture of the late Bishop H. L. Barkley: “News of the death of Bishop Henry L. Barkley, D. D., of the United Brethren church, was received )I<>nday morning by the Rev. D. E. Dillon, editor of the Christian Conservator. The news came in a telegram from Portland, Ore, Bishop Barkley’s ieath was caused by dropsy and comlications with which he had been ill for twelve weeks. Bishop Barkley was well known in Huntington, having been here many times. He was bom near Decatur. Ind., and preached in the North Ohio conference for several years before going to Oregon in 1888. In May of 1897 he was elected bishop of the Pacific coast at the general conference held at Dublin, Ind. He served in this capacity until 1913, when he was ineapaciated by facial paralysis. He was then elected secretary of the preachers' aid society. While bishop, the Rev. Barkley was twice elected to the Oregon legislature, and at times he presided over the deliberations of that body. Bishop Barkley was known as a preacher of power, a lover of men, and as such he will be missed much by his friends and church workers.” o Don’t worry about your Easter suit.
