We have heard a number of favorable comments concerning the horse show proposed for this city and if some one will get busy it can be pulled off successfully. It would be a splendid thing for every one and we can see no reason why it should not be done. “Keep alive" is a good slogan for any city and its no different here. Don't kid yourself Into thinking so. “Uncle” Ben Louthan, a master In the old school of journalism of Indiana, for many years the leading figuie in newspaper work at Logansport, died at his home Sunday and that fact has caused sadened hearts among the fraternity all over tire Hoosier state. He was known as a standpat democrat, a politician who never wanted anything for himself but always for his friends, a writer of ability, a business man in every sense and a high class gentleman. His death is regretted by those who know his capacity. Have you forgotten that everybody in Decatur should “trade at home.’’’ And that means you—and it means that you ought to start right away today to do it. Are you buying your goods out of town? Are you smoking foreign cigars? Are you sending your laundry away from Decatur? Are you a real booster for this community? If you are you should join in the campaign to keep at home all the trade you can. It is estimated that a quarter million dollars ji year is sent out of this community. If that money wts kept at home, it would be equivelant to a splendid factory. If we were to secure the location of a plant that would leave that much money here a year, we would think we had done something worth while and it would be a great help. Well here’s a chance to do it —that is a chance to keep at home this money that goes elsewhere. When it goes you never get a chance at it again. If you keep it here you do. Start in today. Those frightened and timid souls who are scared stiff over the unprepared condition of America for war may find much consolation in the fa t that the administration is outlining a plan of preparation that will meet all of the needs of the country and at the same time avoid the outlandish extravagant expenditure of money that • Jl COPYRIGHT V®’ ED.

some people would like to see spent. It should be remembered that any elaborate scheme of preparedness involving the expenditure of hundreds of millions of dollars would mean tlmt enormous quantities of war supplies, battleships and other things would be purchased by the government. All of this would mean huge profits for the manufacturers. So what would bo more natural than that these manufacturers should set up a cry for greater preparedness and start a deepsea campaign for President Wilson and his administration are making safe and sane plans for better national defense, but these plans will not coet more than a fraction bf the tremendous sum that the jingoes would S|>end. Secretary McAdoo made this clear in his (■•.tceC.; at Indianapolis last bight, in which he outlined the administraton's idea of how to obtain a large and more effective navy and bettter defense and at the same time obtain a large merchant marine for America. —Marion Leader-Tribune.

This simple little lesson in finance has been learned by every adult and many children. Thousands of Hoosiers now have colds. And thousands of them will continue to have them all winter long. How many of these thousands who will find it necessary to consult a physician. or to buy alleged “cough cures” will trace their ailment tu its source? Thousands of those who do will find the fault is poor ventilation. Every reader of the Daily Democrat will save money this winter it they will put more blankets on the bed and throw open the bed room windows wide at night. An extra pair of blanketa is far cheaper in the long run than a doctors’ shill. Colds tracable to poor ventilation often lead to tuberculosis and this in turn leads not only to greatly increased doctor bills, but often to an early death or at the least —impaired health. The argument that "The whole house gets sold as all outdoors when we open the bed room windows at night,” has been advanced. It is a simple matter to close the bed room door when the windows are opened. In the morning close the windows part way. and upon opening the bed room door the remaining rooms will bq found to have retained the heat from stove or furnace. Join that great happy and healthy army of open window sleepers. Adams county doctors will tell you it is a good thing to do, even though it does reduce their income. Questions and Answers. Dear Mr. Editor:—l work in a store with about 100 employes. One of the wrapping girls has a terrible cough. I have seen her cought until she was almost black in the face while she was wrapping up dress goods. She spits in her handkerchief until it actually becomes a sight, then she spits in the corner of her booth. This has l>een going'on for quite a while and the other day I heard one of the best patrons of the store ask a friend if she thought that girl had tuberculosis. What do you think ought to be done? If you are a friend of this girl go to her and ask her what she is doing for her “cold.” As tactfully as possible, urge her to consult a physician if she has not already done so. Pave the way for the suggestion that the Indiana state board of health will examine her sputum without charge to see if she lias tuberculosis. This girl needs a lot of the right kind of help. If she has tuberculosis, some way must be found for her to give up her work and begin the job of getting well. Above all she must stop the practice of coughing and spitting in such a manner as to carry infection to others. To the Editor:—A week or so ago I read in the tuberculosis department of the Daily Democrat that it was necessary to keep my bed room windows open and to keep myself comfortable by putting on more covers. It takes about six comforts to keep me warm any way in the winter time. In the morrfing when I wake up, 1 am as tired as if I had been working ail day.—Mrs. J. L. S. You use the wrong kind of bed clothing. If you can afford it, down comforts are the warmest bed clothing you caiutind. They are also light. If you do not care to get these, woolen blankets are much warmer than ordinary bed clothing. Heavy bed clothing is not necessarily the warmest. Should a tubercular mother nurse her baby?—Mrs. A. O. H. No. The child would not receive enough nourishment and there is a possibility that it might become infected in this way. SgSfiW- ' - ’ft. MASONIC CALENDAR FOR WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 23.
