‘ KEEPING THE COLORS FLYING I Increased Use of Electric Lights for I Displaying th. United State. 1 Flag at Night. i The wave of patriotism which hit- 0 i swept over the country and some re--1 cent electrical development has beeu f responsible for some innovations in ; displaying the colors. In several of ■ the recently erected buildings there are “flood lights” arranged around i the base of the flagpole so that at i night the hunting is to be Been : proudly flying just as plainly as in , daylight. As a matter of fact, it is i much more effective at night, for the flag seems to stand out in the darkness, and the effect is spectacular. Another novelty is an electric flag which has been designed and built by a western electric company and is I carried ifi stock, ready for delivery. . This was done in response to a gen-: i eral demand which was created by I i the example of a Denver doctor who : ; hnd one of these flags built to his 1 : order and placed on a new house which had just been finished for his i occupancy. The standardized elecJ trie flag as built for general sale is | t four feet long and contains from 94 '' to 200 lamps, as desired. It is said ' that the 94-lamp design may be operated for eight cents an hour. - I (YOU remind! 1 ME OF MV (AND YOU REMINDS! ME OF WHAT MY W • ; ; |W TENTH HUSBANDU|; < I I iILjL WILE RRCBA6UY /BI !

A mounted po- . liceman rushed to the fire-alarm box and with one yank brought $200,000 worth of fire-fighting apparatus, two battalion chiefs and a deputy fire chief. Wliile the taxicab continued to burn the firemen strove with hundreds of motor cars, street cars and vehicles of the masses, endeavoring to lay their lines of hose, and as they battled and bawled commands, a chauffeur ran up with a little squirtgun loaded with chemicals. One squirt and that taxicab ceased firing, sighed and settled into slumber like that of a babe. And then, while a college of chauffeurs held a clinic, the firemen folded their tarpaulins and silently stole away.

Women’s complaints often prowe to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease. If the kidneys are not in n healthy condition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased. You may suffer a great deal with pain in the back, headache, loss of ambition, nervousness and may be despondent and irritable. Don’t delay starting treatment. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, a physician’s prescription, obtained at any drug store, restores health to the kidneys and is just the remedy .needed to overcome such conditions. Get a fifty cent or one dollar bottle immediately from any drug store. However, if you wish first to test his great preparation send ten cents o Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention the Decatur Daily' Democrat. —Adv. FEEL YOUNG! — / It’s Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets For You! Beware of the habit of constipation.
