Entered at the PostoOce In Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. Red Cross stamps are now on sale in Decatur. A few pennies spent in this cause should come back to you many fold. Its the spirit that counts as much as the money you spent. Use the little stamjis on each letter you mail out. It's time to do your Christmas shopping. That eventful day is but a little over three weeks away. If you select your gifts now you have the advantage of the stocks before they are picked over and you can take your time to it. Don't wait for the rush. It's a harder job for you as well as the clerks. Do it now. A bunch of Jim Watson boosters met in the attic of the Merchants’ bank building at. Indianapolis Saturday and organized the “Indiana Business and Prosperity League.” Why not join the Wilson prosperity league which semes to be making good just now about as satisfactorily as any one could wish? The Hartford City public gymnasium conducted in connection with the schools is a winner, according to all reports. It is used not only by the children, but by scores of business men and women who take exercise there each day under the instruction of an expert. Decatur can have a aim-1 ilar “gym'’ if everybody will help. Just say you favor it if you don’t feel like you can afford to give anything. Even tha’ will help. The Sunday Fort Wayne JournalGazette contained a page write-up of the Decatur sugar factory, with fourteen views of the plant, the yards, the offices. Manager Hubbard and Superintendent Kremers. It’s a good story that advertises Decatur and will show to the world the wonderful process of converting beets into sugar. The plant is recognized as one of the important industries of northern Indiana and we are glad that it is located in this city. Boost a little. It won't hurt. John A .M. Adair today announced his candidacy for the democratic nomination for governor of Indiana. He has made good as congressman in this district, is a real campaigner and will make the boys go. He is in the race

and will leave nothing undone to i laud the nomination and at the 1 fall election. That he will do it is the 1 : belief of his thousands of friends. Mr. 1 Adair never does things by halves and he will campaign every section of Indiana in his race for the nomination and for his election later. He has al-, ready visited many counties and his I candidacy has been urged by the lead--1 era of the i>arty. _________ The best political administration • that can be conJucted is the one that 1 mgkes a success of public business as- , fairs. It is conceded that the elecl ' tions are controlled by the business > men and the independent vote of the ■ community, and they will cast their i ballots in the future for candidates i who are most able and 1 n st qualified 1 to manage our public affairs. For i these reasons. t the Rr.lston state administration which has paid off the • 1 slate debt iwrtf- placed the finances of ] the state on a sane and safe business , basis, is popular with the people. The same is true of the Wilson adminis- , tration. which has not sold bonds dur- , ing a world-wide depression to replen- i ish the public treasury, but the president did urge the passage of a law : which makes bankers' panics impossible in this country. This has been the greatest piece of legislation for the benefit of the business men and common people ever enacted in the history of this country. Being at peace with all countries, and with the financial and business interests on a firm footing; with a national administration administered in the interests i of all. the business Yhc-d and the common people will rally to the support of President Wilson in 1916. which i will insure his re-election by an overwhelming majority.—Marion Leader1 Tribune.

■ ", ,—rn—M—■■ j T— ■ OF SALTS MS KBffi If you Back is aching or Bladder bothers, drink lots of water and eat less meat. When your kidneys hurt and your back feels sore, don’t get scared and proceed to load your stomach with a lot of drugs that-excite the kidneys and irritate the I entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels clean, by flushing them with a mild, harmless salts which removes the body’s urinous waste and stimulates them to their normal activity. The function of the kidneys is to filter the blood. In 24 hours they strain from it 500 grains of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the vital importance of keeping the kid- . neys active. ! Drink lots of water—you can’t drink too much; also get from any pharmacist ■ about four ounces of Jad Salts; take i a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning for a few . days and your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined • with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate ologtred kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. _ Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep t - r kidneys clean and active.
