REC ALLS_ BLAZE Oscar Miller Among Twen-ty-three, Thirteen of Whom Lost Lives. COULDN'T WALK THEN Man in Fire Near Muncie A Now is Improved by Tanlac. Muncie, Ind., Ja. 28 —The fire ii the older portion of the Delawan county infirmary, on last March 22 was recalled a few days ago by Osca Miller, an inmate of the infirmary, wh< has been enabled to walk by Tanlac the Master Medicine. Miller was one of twenty-three mei who slept, on the third floor of th< building, thirteen of whom lost thei lives in the fire. That Miller, as wel as several other aged men wh scarcely were able to walk, escaped was considered miraculous. In fact, not until recently, since he began taking Tanlac, has Miller been able to walk with ease. A few days ago he attributed his improvement to , Tanlac when he said: • “1 have suered from stomach and kidney trouble for a long time. I was so stiff that I could hardly walk. “Since taking Tanlac I notice a great change in my condition. I now am able to walk around all I wish, and my condition has been greatly ■ benefited.” > Tanlac, the Master Medicine refer- - red to by Mr. Miller, is especially . beneficial for stomach, liver and kidney troubles, rheumatism, catarrhal ■ conjpljilnts, nervousness, sleepless- ’ nesfe, loss of appetite and the like. Tanlac is sold exclusively in Decatur; at Smith, Yaker & Falk's drug store. o HABIT AND THRIFT DAY.

concern to the Individual is not one of eliminating habit, but rather the recognition of habit values and the Intensive cultivation of those which stand for greater progress and development. The establishment of Thrift Day is designed to direct the attention of the individual to every habit that could in the leastwise be connected with waste, which also includes unproductive spending. Thrift Day lu no wise is designed as in observance for miserliness, nig.'ardliness or penuriousness. The fuller, bigger, broader conception of the rue meaning of thrift and frugality is vet to become well known and underjtood by the people of our country, and cannot in any way be confounded with those habits represented by their >pposites. Many people who realize that the thrift habit is a sound foundation for i fortune lose sight of the fact that it s also an important factor in charicter building. It is because this latter is so that the promoters of thrift in this country are devoting such jarnest effors to institute the subject of thrift into our schools with the same degree of enthusiasm and system as are used in the teaching of >ther vital subjects. All students of American economics iiave long recognized the need for a hearty concerted effort on the part of , all in our country to eliminate the ( many habits of extravagance into . which we have carelessly or indifferently fallen, and for our future individual and national welfare practice conservation in the management of our natural resources, industries and models of living. The thrift habit ensues as the re- , suit of a certain desirable attitude of mind and and understanding of the value of money, and therefore of its . proper use, for ,to quote the words of that great American teacher and preacher of thrift. Benjamin Franklin, I “The use of money is all the advan- . tage there is in having money.” The earning power of Amreica at . the beginning of 1916 is very high, ; and the value and permanence of the increased and increasing prosperity will be exactly in proportion to the wise use made of it. As the Ameri- , cans better realize what thrift means to them they will not only practice it themselves to a greater extent than : heretofore, but insist that it become I a part of the lives of their children f to be taught them just as personal irmstiEiiE

Whereas, death has again visited I our council and taken from our | 1 midst, one of our best and most hon- ft ' ored members, the deputy grand € knight, of the council. Z Therefore, be it resolved by the ( ' Knights of Columbus, in council assembled, that by the death of John B. x--1 Holthouse, the Knights of Columbus ft 1 cf Decatur Council, No. 864, have lost I one of their highest officers and one oi the council's most valued members; ' his wife has lost a kind and loving husband; his children, an indulgent father; his church a devout Christian ■ and a valued member. In his death the ’ community has lost a good citizen, • one of deep human sympathies; his 1 outlook upon life was a kindly one. - and he was always read to help the ’ poor and distressed, to pity the er- ■ ring and condone their faults. And be it further resolved that as a token of our respect for our dei ceased brother, our charter be draped iin mourning for thirty days; that a | ! copy of these resolutions be given to = i the wife and children of our deceas- \ • ed brother, that a copy be given to ■ the newspapers of the city of Decatur, = ■ for publication and a copy be spread = i of record in the record book of the ' council. I And be it further resolved that we | extend to the wife and children of our | . deceased brother, our heartfelt symt pathy in this their hour of bereave- = . ment. s O Dfthc'randshrd cm cm cm cm cm 1 CHAS.
