Entered at the Postofflce In Decatur Indiana, as second-class matter. The opening o£ the democratic campaign in this county which was to have taken place next week has been postponed until about the first of the year, to make it possible to secure the speakers wanted. Are you advertising, Mr. Merchant? If you are not you have no one to blame but yourself if the sales do not tally up to your expectations at the close of the day or week' or month or year. The consistent and industrious advertiser who makes a business of thus inviting trade, wins in the long run. Do you want to win? Try the Democrat. Decatur can be one of the 'lmportant cities on the Cleveland to St. Louis highway if they get busy, and we ought to do it. The time is not far distant when the fact that a city is located on an important through highway wil cut more figure in a business way than to be on a railway line. We believe that before long commercial truck lines and jitneys will carry a large part of the business. It looks as though Decatur would be one of the good towns in this section next year. It is more than likely that the sugar plant will operate a large part of the year as a reninery, employing from 150 to 200 men, and there are rumors of two or three other increases in factory forces and of proposed new concerns for this city. If half the good things now being talked about should copie true, year 1916 will be the best ftf’ddf "History. Speed up a little and get ready for a hummer. More than five hundred people in north Indianapolis, the district of good homes, in that city, are suffering from an epidemic of illness that resembles ptomaine poisoning and it is believed to come from impurities in the city water supply. All users have been warned not to drink water without boiling it. for the present. The attacks are said to be very severe and to continue for about forty-eight hours. All of which goes to show that trouble of this kind cap happen even in cities as large as the capital. Fort Wayne, too, has been having trouble with her water supply, a peculiar kind of worm having infected the water and" a careful examination This is Sweater Coat arid Heavy Underwear weather Our line of Sweater Coats cannot be excelled at the prices, 50c to $7.50 Cotton Underwear in all styles 50c to $1.50 Woolen Underwear in separate and Union $2.00 to $3.50 THE MYERS-DAILEY COMPANY

[’ has failed to reveal the cause. From all parts of the country there _ eomes word that the people are stand Ing by President Wilson in his pol icy of preparedness, and that they arc willing and anxious to pay the bills foi c a reasonable amount of preparation for national defense. They are noi B in favor of extravagance or of enor i» moua armies that will not be needed 6 but they do feel that it is time for the nation to look to its defenses and be s . ready to take care of itself against ’ any invasion that might be attempted President Wilson does not intend tc ’ ram down the throats of the people , anything they do not want. He is . simply pointing out what is needed and it is up to congress to supply the money with which to meet the needs. —Marion Leader-Tribune. DOINGS IN SOCIETY | WEEK'S CLUB CALENDAR. Wednesday.

STATE WILL ACT (United Press Service) 1 Chicago, Nov. 17, —(Special to Daily Democrat) —An official police investi- ■' gation with posibly subsequent action by state authorities if the defective baby of Mr. and Mrs. Allen Bollinger dies without an operation was decided upon today at a conference attended ' by chief of police Healy, coroner Hoffman health commissioner Robertson and assistant coropration counsel Roe. ’ Counsel Roe ruled that there is no law ' by which officials can force physicians ' to operate on the baby to save its life. He ruled, however, that commissioner Robertson can refuse to issue a death ' certificate. Robertson said he would refuse the paper and in This < vent coroner Hoffman will be compelled to investigate the child's death. Dr. H. J. Haiselden in charge of the case upon being informed of the posible official action, reiterated his decision, to “let nature take its course.”. This was at noon and hour he said the baby had four hours to live. Chief Healy was frankly opposed to permit the child to die. Coroner Hoffman said that as an individual he thought the matter one for argument. Dr. Haiselen j tells me an artificial intestinal opening - must be as a part of the opera . ticn to save the child's life. States - Attorney Sullivan bitterly denounced f Dr. Haiselen attitude. , O- ■ — USING CHARACTER WITNESSES (United Press Service) I New Castle, Ind., Nov. 17 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —When both sides • in the murder trial of John Craig :• ban introducing character witnesses l today it appeared the case would not get to the jury until late tomorrow . or Friday morning.

United States Secretary of Agri culture Houston was describing at a dinner in Washington the changes that have come over farming methods. "It’s an age of machinery today," he said. ‘"The milking machine has succeeded the milkmaid. The phonograph has succeeded the melodeon. The motor plow has succeeded the horse plow. “There's an appropriate story abopt a young farmer who loved two girls equally—the one slim and petite, the other tall and herculean. “The young farmer in this dilemma asked his father's advice. The fa ther. puffing thoughtfully on a Havana —for your modern farmer is too prosperous to smoke domestic cigars—answered: “ 'There's so much machinery used in farming nowadays, James, that a big, strong wife is hardly needed. I advise you to take the little oneshell eat less.’ ” French Army Mustache. We know that opr soldiers have been allowed to do away with their facial hair. It has been shown that the soldiers of Napoleon remained freely beardless and that the absence of hair beneath the nose accorded with the view’s of hygienists. The opinion, combated by the mustache school, has just surrendered. An official circular recalls to the soldiers of France that the wearing of the mustache is military, that the razored face is not so and that the entire army should hereafter avoid showing the upper lip. Thus, the mustache has triumphed after having been discussed, decried and almost proscribed. —Le Cri de Paris. - Many Uses. “Books! Books! They are turned out by the carload.” "Maybe so,” said the impecunious scribbler. "Still, they are useful things.” "I'm not denying that.” “For instance, one supports a corner of my dresser where there is a castor missing, another thin one placed under a leg of my writing table keeps it steady and this volume of Buras here is just the thing to keep the flies out of my sugar bowl.” Pottery Made in Thirty-Seven States. Thirty seven states in 1914 reported a production of pottery, it is announced by the geological survey. White ware was reported from eight states, china from four states, sanitary ware from ten statps and porcelain electrical supplies from nine states. Red earthenware, the commonest of pottery products, was reported from thirty-two states, and stoneware frojn twenty-eight states.
