Thia is the h«*um»u of the year when ii fellow can get more enjoyment, out of a good book, a brier pipe and a quiet nooß just back of the stove, aft or he has completed a pood honest day s work, than he mu by indulging in any 1 indivor sport yet originated Try it! It looks very much as though Leg Shank will be the republican nominee for mayor of Indianapolis, though the machine there is doing everything to stop him with Charles Jewett and Charles Bookwaiter. hut Shank has thj-tn going and does not seem inclined to quit. The result will probably be another four years of democratic rule in that’city. . Joseph W. Walker, the Adams, county repreaeutativu. lias announced that he feels that his constituency favors a eqntipmuKe of tltA three-mile road law arid we bcfiavJ bA’ts 1 right. ♦ 4 • ■ If those favoring a highway'odmmission and the repeal of the three-mile law. will show how it will bring better rnsiuits or save the taxpayers auy money, the people will feel differently, but until they do they will not favor a law mode to give a lot of young tellqws jobs and add red tape to the matter of budding and taking care of Qlir t oads. Mr Walker is. we believe, showing good judgment and we knbw hn is right in trying to do that which he bulleves the people who elected him wish done.

Don't put off pay ins for your pa per. Please remember that publishing a newspaper these days anti breaking even alter you have met the pay roll. |>aid the rent. i-ashed your bills for paper, ink and incidentals, is a man's full-sized job just now The advances have been so great that only by great care and watchfulness can it be done at all and as a consequence several thousand papers have closed up ■'hop The Daily Democrat’ will continue. We have had the support of the people of this community so lung that we know they will help us to meet the situation. We are asking that you pay for the paper in advance if you get it by mail and we are giving you as an inducement the old price of |2.50 per year if you do so. It's a fair and square request and we hope and believe that every subscriber will respond. Do it before February I.lth. That's the dead-line for the old price. After that it will be three dollars per year. Now's the time.

I have found in practice that Anuric is more potent than lithia and in most cases it will | dissolve the uric acid as hot water does sugar. Most people do neglec t themselves. Their tongue has a dark brown color, skin .-allow, breath had. yet they fail to see that their machinery needs attention. Everybody should take a mild laxative at least once a week. A ' pleasant way to clear the tongue and the highly colored water noticed in the morning Is to take a laxative which will cure the inactive liver and bilousness. A pleasant vegetable pll is made; up of May-apple, leaves of aloe, and jalap. made into a tiny pellet and coated with sugar. First put up by Dr. Pierce nearly 50 years ago. Druggists sell these vegetable pellets in vials, simply ask for Dr. Pierce's Tleasant Pellets. - Advt. (.OANS ANP ABSTRACTS.

MOTHERHOOD WOMAN'S JOT Suggestions to Childless Women. Among the virtues of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the ability to correct sterility in the cases of many women. This fact iu well established as evidenced by the following letter and hundreds of others we have published in these eolums. Poplar Bluff, Mo. —“I want other women to know what a blessing Lydia - --- -----n E. Pinkham s Vegei'lH j H| j j table Compound has ■JaiKglfcfr ; been to me.
