Entered at the Postoffice in Decatur. Indiana, as second-class matter. Out of the scrap heap, where his political ambitions seem to be overwhelmed. waves the hand of Senator Tom Taggart, grasping a check for SIOO in favor of The Stars fund for Christmasless children. His head is bloody but unbowed. He is game. He gets up with a smile. That s the Indiana way. Nobody has anything on Mr. Fairbanks, either. He is glad and eager with a graceful congratula tion of his opponent. There will be no bitternesss in his soul, no reproaches in his song. Always the gracious gentleman, even in the shadow of double bereavement, no pang of personal sorrow or political reverse will poison the wells of his kindly naaure and serene spirit. Here are two men different in many ways. Fate has led them along widely divergent paths; yet to one similar lot in respect of the love and admiration of manly men and womanly women. They are game , losers, steadfast friends, always and everywhere hospitable, sunny, self-forgetful, content. Public life has nothing to offer them worth exchanging for the good w ill of their neighbors. In victory or defeat, Indiana is proud of them! —Indianapolis Star. Announcement lias been made tha: another twenty per cent increase in paper will be made within the next thirty days, which is not unusual, for « similar notices have been received each month and sometimes twice a month for the past year, the advance in news print having totaled 300 per cent, and the advance on every other item which goes to make up a newspaper has perhaps been the most startling of any business line. Several of the newspapers of Indiana are planning to close shop. The Demo crat is not going to do that if we have to print a postal car’d, and we assure the public that we will make every possible effort to give you a standard size paper and all the news al Ithe time. It will, however, be necessary to advance the advertising rates. This has already been done by practically every paper in th ■ country and by many several times. The advance here will be so slight that you will scarcely realize there has been one, but it will mean much to us. Please remember that the newspapers are going through a very trying period, making a fight to live, and are deserving of your support. A hard game at the best the man who is trying to publish a newspaper in the average city is just now having worries sufficient to satisfy his most ardent enemies. Let's live and let live.

Why Rheumatism Comes Wi h Cold Weather By Valentine Mott Pierce. M. D.

A close connection exists between these two- (Old weather and rheum- , atism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of Loudon, has the most followers in the me lical profession in the belief that the presence in the system of uric acid, or its salts in excess is the real cause of rheumatism. Every oiW”' has recognized the difference hi the appearance of their water as soon us it gets cold; there is often a copious sediment of "brickdust.' Several causes may lead up to an accumulation of uric acid in the system which in turn causes rheumatism "or pout, or creaky joints, swollen fingers, or painful joints. H’l one reason the skin does not throw off the uric acid, by profuse sweating as in the hot weather, and the kidneys are unable to take care of the double burden. Another reason is that people do not drink as much water -n cold w'eathcr as in summer, which helps to flush the kidneys. Again, they eat more meat in cold
