WILSON AND THE FLAG:When the democrats of the Eighth district assembled at Elwood last week at their barbecue they adopted as their slogan. "Wilson and the Flag." The same sentiment ran through ail of the speeches, and the conclusion was that trivial political spats had been dissipated before the bigger sentiment of one’s country, staunch and united. The idea received emphatic endorsement by another eminant citizen a few days ago. Joseph G. Cannon may be all his political opponents have called him in past rancorous times, but occasionally an utterance of his is so soundly wise and patriotic that they are above partisanism. While Senator Lodge and his rambunctious son-in-law- and others are ready at this crisis to put partisanship above their country's good, the Illinois man his this to say: "We are at peace with the wprld, and the most efficient way to maintain that peace is for us to stand solidly behind our president. It is worth more than a million dollars to show the foreign nations that while we are divided politically, we stand as one man when the honor of the naton is at stake.” This is Americanism of the right sort. It is the answer at once of the jingo and the individual willing to buy peace atany cost! of the hyphenated press and the politician whose eyes are so firmly fixed upon next’ year's contest that he cannot s* -tiw issue of national honor here and now. —Anderson Bulletin. Mayor Bell denied the charges made against him by the state’s attorneys and their witnesses. He was on the stand five hours yesterday and again today and it seems likely that his tes-

timony will .ack up good as against Bud Gibson, Chief O’Leary, Nelson Hughes and others of that stripe who admit enough to maketheir testimony worthless. The boys are to open the basket ball season soon. Wouldn’t it be fine if they could open in a new “gym,” and why shouldn’t our boys and girls have a clean and wholesome and modern place in which they could secure the exercise they need? The development of the body is just as important as the development of the mind for one must have good health if he is too make use of his education and his developed brain. Other cities even smaller than Decatur have such places.

The Hallowe'en colors of yellow and black, with the holiday’s symbols, black cats, bats, pumpkin faces, Jack o’ lanterns, ana other things, decorated the Ben Hur hall for the social given last night, when there were seventy gueets. S£ach was met at the door by a ghost, who measured the guest and charged a penny for each foot of heighth. Later a grand march of the masked host was formed and passed before the, reviewing stand, where the judges awarded the prize to Grace Hoenisen. A good program was given as follows Music, Dorothy and Thelma Williams; reading. Helen Wilhelm; music Celia Andrews; reading, Russell Acker; music Dorthy and Thelma Andrews; instrumental music, Dorothy Williams. Later a contest was held and the lunch was served from a menu in rebus form. There were six waiters to serve. Mrs. J. H.

Williams, of In<f.anapolis, a former member of the class was present. A gift was presented to her at this time, as her marriage and departure took place before the class or her friends could honor her with any shower or parties before. Thirty-six of her cousins and most intimate friends, including the members of the German Reformed Christian Endeavor, were guests at the friendship* shower given for Miss Lydia Miller last evening by Mrs. Fred Heuer. Mrs. O. L. Vance and Miss Adella Sellemeyer at the Heuer home. Little Miss Lee Anna Vance, charming in a German costume — bright red skirt, white waist, black girdle and white peasant cap—received the guests. During the evening. music on the victrola was highly enjoyed, and there was also an interesting contest. This was the guessing of words ending in "age." Miss Mary Erwin won the first prize and this was given to the guest of honor, by her. While the guests were enjoying themselves in the parlor and living rooms, the lights were suddenly subdued and the victrola was heard to play “O, Promise Me.” At this point, little Miss Vance came through and lead Miss Miller slowly through the darkened rooms into the dining room, where the red lights from the chandelier, threw a weird effect over the room, which was tastefully decorated in Hallowe’en style. The bay window was banked with corn fodder, while Jack o’lanterns and skulls and other ,Hallowe’en features were in evidence. The bright red salvia wad used otherwise in decorating this and the other rooms and the chandeliers were all hooded in red. Miss Miller was lead to a chair especially decorated for her. and later, after inviting the other guests into the room. Miss Lee Anna Vance took her place in a small rocking chair and handed to Miss Miller, one by one, the pretty gifts with which she had beej! showered. A tempting luncheon was served, the hostesses being assisted by the Misses Bessie Davis and LeeAnna Vance. Mrs. L. L. Baumgartner spent the day at the home of her nephew. Earl Bowman, and family, south of the city. The Helping Hand society was entertained in the Sunday school room of the German Reformed church by Mrs. Frank McConnell Thursday afternoon.

IF SKIN BREAKS OUT AND ITCHES APPWSULPHUR Use it like a cold cream and dry Eczema eruptions right up. The moment you apply bold-sulphur to an itching or broken'out skin, the itching stops and healing begins, says a renowned dermatologist. This remarkable sulphur made into a thick cream effects such prompt relief, even in aggravated Eczema, that it is a never-ending source of amazement to physicians. For many years bold-sulphur has occupied a secure position in the treatment of cutaneous eruptions by reason of its cooling, parasite-destroying properties and nothing has ever been found to take its place in relieving irritable and inflammatory affections of the skin. While not always establishing a permanent cure, yet in every instance, it immediately subdues the itching irrita•tion and heals the Eesema right up and it is often years later before any eruption again manifests itself. Agy good druggist will supply an ouffie of bold-sulpliur. which should be applied to the affected part* like the ordinary cold creams. It isn’t unpleasant and the prompt relief afforded is very welcome, particularly when the Eczema is accompanied with torturous itching-
