A Dumber of states, including Kansas, Oil >, Pennsylvania, North Dakota, Or.e-on, Arkansas and Wisconsin recognize the .science of Chirophactk-, and it is the wish of the association to obtain legal recognition in Indiana. The state association is composed of local crgauizations in each congressional district, and members will te n attendance from practically every county in the state. If you will study the “trade at home” question you will agree with us that it’s the wise thing to do. Every dollar kept in Adams county gives the citizen here that much better opportunity to get it. If you send it to Chicago it’s a thousand to one shot you will never see it again, while if you keep it here you will at least have a fifty-fifty chajice. Think it over, ami then ask for Decatur made sugar. Decatur made cigars. Decatur made goods of every kind in prefereue eta anything else. This is not an argument for the man in the particular business as it is a plea for the community in which you live. Think it over seriously, and remember that more than a quarter’million dollars a year is; sent away from Adams county that could be kept here.

HOG CHOLERA IS DISCUSSED By Dr. C. G. Starr, of Purdue University at Mallonee School House. MANY FARMERS THERE Interesting Illustrated Talk on Subject of Importance to Our Farmers. Dr. C. G. Starr, of Purdue university, who is in this section of the state advising proper methods for combating hog cholera, lectured last night at the Mallonee school house. Fifty farmers, vitally interested in the veryimportant question, attended. Dr. Starr’s lecture was illustrated and was mighty interesting to the owners of hogs. His main theme was cleanliness and co-operation ni preventing the spread of the disease. He said: One farmer can do little to control the disease, but the community working together for the good of all, can control to a large extent this most dreaded disease of the hog. It is no disgrace to have hog cholera on your farm, but rather a misfortune and men should protect tbemselves and neighbors aganist its spread. Fully 33 per cent of the cases are due. to men going from one farm to the other either on business or just to visit. If your neighbor has sick hogs, don’t go and look at them. It’s not safe for you may carry it home on your shoes, for it is a germ disease. If you must go. be sure to disinfect your shoes on leaving the infected farm, using a good liquid disinfectant. It will onlytake a minute and may mean dollars to you. Other methods of prevention are to kill the pigeons, crows, buzzards, stray dogs, etc., that come near ' your place and keep your hogs in a healty condition Every man can do this without much expense or money. If, however, cholera is close, the onlysafe way to protect your herd, is to vaccinate the hogs with a good serum. There is no absolute cure for a sick, cholera hog. He may get well, but rather think of the vaccination as a preventative. Get in ahead of the disease as we do with small pox for the human, and then if they are exposed fully 90 per cent and more can be saved. Report all cases of sick hogs and put up a notice that you have hog cholera. Don’t let your neighbors’ hogs get it from yours. Co-operation in the prevention of the spread will be the greatest factor in the reduction of the toll of this disease among hogs. Get together. Decide to stop the disease now it possible.” Dr. Starr showed slides of sick hogs and showed how to tell a ease of hog cholera and showed good and bad types of hog houses. He alsj explained the methods of vaccination and the amount of serum and virus to use. It was a very interesting meeting. Hq will Iceture Friday evening at Monroe. He was accompanied last evening by A. D. Suttles and CountyAgent Hutchins of this city. c TOMMY’S LESSON.

November 11. in the course of its fifth annual tour. There will be three evening performances and a galla matinee. Saturday. This gorgeuosly beautiful spectacle of fairy land, which ran for 268 days at the New theater, and which has never had a No. 2 company, is a wonderful drama which portrays a quest of happiness, the heart’s desire. The curtain rises on a small brother ayd sister. Tytltyl and Mytle, who are asleep in their beds in a wood-cutter's cabin. They are awakened by the Fairy Berylune. who blds them start on the quest of The Blue Bird, the symbol of happiness. She intrusts Tyltyl with a marvelous green cap with a magic diamond, the mere turning of which allows them to see the hitherto unseen. The adventures of these children through beautiful lands and regions of despair are made the basis of a series of gorgeous spectacles. Lovely music from the works of Debussy, Massanet and Bizet enhances the charm, and there are many group dances by large numbers of young girls. “The Blue Bird” is the child's delight, the grown-up's intelectual pleasure. Its fairy music, it wit and philosophy, its simplicity and charm, have reached the hearts of all. It is q mirror of the world, and of the stage, drama, spectacle, allegory, music, dances, fun and illusion, all in one. The cast of eighty is noted from <i>ast to coast. The child hero Tyltyl is played by gifted little Mary Eaton. With her. in the companion girlish role of Mytle is her sister, Mary Eaton, and many other charming little child-actors in silent as w-ell as speaking parts. Among the elder members of the company are many clever character actors. notably Thomas K. Cories?, who will be seen in the sly, conspiring Cat; Gwendolyn Valentine as sinuous Water; Isabel! Lel’age as timid Milk; R. Morgan as puffy, important Bread; George Sylvester as honey-fugling Sugar; Henry Duggan as Tylo, the faithful Dog; and Ethel Brandon as Mummy Tyl; and still others, like Anna Bates, who will be seen as the Fairy Berylune - and Neighbor Berliugot; Vincent Romeo as the whirling impersonator of Fire; Dore *Davidsori as benign and peaceful Old Father Time, a,nd Anna Dugan as terrifying Night. The prices for the special engagement are 50c to $2.00. Mail orders are now being received from out of town patrons and will be mailed back if accompanied by self-addressed envelope. o DRAPER FUNERAL WEDNESDAY.
