Entered at the Postoffice In Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. The barbeeeue at Elwood on thp 29th will be the big political event <*f the fall season in this section of the state. There will be forty thousand people there and they will hear speeches by such famous men as J. H. Lewis, Ollie James, Senator Kern and Governor Ralston. Better go along. If you are not a booster for the county fair, you are not a booster for home. The two things go hand in hand. Decatur and Adams county have b' n advertised for forty miles around, and well advertised. Thousands will come here for the fair and if they are well treated they will say so. Your help in entertaining, in boosting and getting them here will help this community. What Adams county does she does well. Why not the fair? The standpatters have been making overtures to the progressives, and urging that they come back. The standpatters have gone so far as to ask the progressives which of their (standpat) prospective candidates would be the best to nominate in 1916. But such questions have been spurned with impunity. And not one word has been said about nominating a progressive for office. It is the intention of the standpatters to stand by the old guard and place none but the rankest standpatters on tickets. Jim Goodrich wants to be governor, and Jim Watson will be nomiated for United States senator, which will bring his old-time friends like Uncle Joe Cannon into the Indiana campaign. The patriotic progressives will not join the standpatters but will put in tickets of their own.—Marion Leader-Tribune. Occasionally we meet a pessimist who wins our admiration because he’s so unanimous and thorough. We’ve Just been introduced to • one such who believes that our country will speedily go to the dogs, after the war. After the war, European nations will continue the economies into which they are now forced. We shall have an economical Europe and the same old extravagant America. We shall be ground by a new crop of munition millionaires. American travelers and American girls married to foreign titles will spend much more American money abroad than ever before. There will be an increase of immigrants, who will spend much more American money back home. Onr pessimistic friends wants to know what we think about all this.

Well, we’ve known fellows to fill up on cheese at supper time in order to have fun with nighttnarea later on, but we always thought It a prettEtuM waste of energy and rather aensi-We extravagance as to cheese. Putitng down of present troubles Is serious enough work, without borrowing calamities from the future. We don’t know where we’ll be, after the war, but expect that our nose will still be doing its duty at the grindstone and our heart hoping tot the best.—South Ben News-Times. •r.:::nzn:ntnnnnnna:mnnn:::n::::::n | DOINGS IN SOCIETY | Fanmmnmmnamttuunnmmnuiai WEEK’S CLUB CALENDAR. Tuesday. Bachelor Maids Ml* j Anna Clark. LEAD SOCIETY Watch Yourself Go By. . Just stand aside and watch yourself go by: Think of yourself as "he” instead of "I." Note closely,Vs in other men you note. The bag-need trousers and the seody coat. Pick flaws; find fault; forget the man is you, And strive to make your estimate ring true, Confront yourself and look you in the eye. Just stand aside and watch yourself go by. Interpret all your motives just as though You looked on one whose aims you did not know. Let undisguised contempt surge thru you when You seek to shirk, O comment of men, Despise your cowardice; condemn whate’er You note of falseness in you anywhere. Defend not one defect that shames your eye. Just stand aside and watch yourself go by. And then, with eyes unveiled to what you loathe— To sins that with sweet charity you’d clothe — Back to your self-walled tenement you’ll go With tolerance for ail who dwell below. The faults of others then will dwarf and shrink, Love’s chain grow stronger by one mighty link— When you with “he” as substitute for “I” Have stood aside and watched yourself go by. —Author tlnkuov/.n. The Epworth League of the Methodist church had a social last evening on the church dawn that was well attended. Refreshments of ice cream and cake were served and there was also a booth for fortune telling.

San-Yak prevents self poisoning, that serious illness from which so many persons of sedentary habits and advanced age suffer. San-Yak prevents clogging of the colon and caecum; hence Its great value in destroying germs from undigested animal food which are a factor in the true cause of poisonous decompositions of the bowels, causing appendicitis, rheumatism, typhoid, dysentery and arterio sclerosis or hardened arteries. Heart trouble Is developed through self poisoning from the kidneys and bowels. To maintain health all such poisoning must be checked, and you can do so with the use of SanYak. Take San-Yak; it Is the greatest medicine yet known for man, woman or child. SI.OO per bottle.

She prides herself, not without reason, on her up-to-dateness and progress; and yet her citizens were immeasureably shocked a few days ago to find that, almost within shouting distance of the Hoosier capital, a lone bandit held up and robbed a train in quite the approved "movie" style. W’e have not yet reached that stage of culture and refinement where we are secure from the uncivilized element that still moves among us; unrecognized as dangerous and therefore, un feared. Nor have we yet reached that stage of knowledge and intellectual progress where we are safe from that greater enemy than man, disease. And we now know that the health of a community DOES depend largely upon its knowledge of the right way to live and its use or misuse of this knowledge. Foremost in the ranks of disease, we are gradually coming to recognize tuberculosis or consumption, ready to strike without mercy or warning, those, who through ignorance or neglect, give him the sign to advance. Disease has long since ceased to be an individual misfortune; it is a community responsiblity. Concerted community effort CAN eradicate disease. Ample evidence of this fact is found in the fact that yellow fever is now practically elmininated, smallpox is seldom found, and other contagious and infectious diseases have ‘been practically wiped out. We are all too prone to say, “But, I can do nothing.” You CAN, if you WILL. Here are some df the ways you can help: Live cleanly, rationally, wholesomely, yourself; co-operate fully with your local health board; remember that consumption has only one cause, the consumption germ—the germ only one source, the sputum of the consumptive—observe anti-spit-ting ordinances yourself, and see that others obey them; demand that our city be kept clean, not only its streets, but its alleys; do not move into a house until you are sure that it has been thoroughly disinfected; remember that fresh air is essential to health; demand that some provision be made for the consumptives in our city and county. j October Ist is Disease Prevention Day in Indiana. The results of last year’s demonstration were unbelievably good. We should, by all means, have a Disease Prevention Day observance in Decatur. Questions and Answers. Dear Editor:—Does the State Tuberculosis Hospital at Rockville admit advanced cases of tuberculosis? —T. G. * No. To the Tuberculosis Editor:—ls moderate pracitice on the piano injurious to a tubercular patient without fever?—M. B. You should be guided by your physician in this as in other exercise.

Dear Sir:—Which would you suggest for use for after dinner rest hour under a tree, as being suitable and at the same time economical; cot, hammock, reclining chair, or porch hammock ?
