Don’t be misled into the belief that the democrats are opposing any plan that will economize for the state. They voted aganist the ousting of the oil inspectors because it meant simply a transfer of republicans for the men now in office, who are entitled to serve out their terms of office. With only three weeks left until the date when the price for the Daily Democrat by mail will be advanced, you should pay at once. If you do the price is the same as in the past. $2.50 per year. It's a chance to make a half-dollar and help make it possible to serve you during another year. Leader Culberson of the state sen- ■ at* has stated that the democrats will ■ vote to do away with the oil inspectors at the expiration of the terms of office under which the present employes are serving. If the republicans really want to abandon these ins|»eetors. they thus have the chance. The legislature y esterday indefinitely postponed the bills to change the date fixed in the present law for holding of city primaries, which means that the law will remain as it is. that the primary elections will be held this year March 6th and that the campaigns will now be on. it's time for the Decatur candidates to announce and we invite you to use the columns of the Daily Democrat. The democratic members of the Indiana senate are working together ia a manner that proves they have the best interests of the people of the state at heart and in doing so they •re best serving their party. Leader Culberson is making a record worth while and as one of the republican senators recently said he more than makes up the advantage the republicans have in Lieutenant Governor Bush. (itto Klause. state auditor, refuses to take a chance on paying any sum of money on legislative demands, uhero the vote of the lieutenant governor was the deciding factor. Even though th' lieutenant governor and the Indianapolis News has ruled that he has the right to do so. Mr. Klause pref'-rs to hot take a chance on paying out any money which he may have tu Sood after the courts have

W. .. • er r. decided the question.' He seem* to be a wise official. Citlzem of Adams County should sign the petition! now ready at the three Jiecatur banka, at Wells Brothers at Geneva, and at Stengel 4 Craig's, at Berne, protesting against the repeal of the Three-mile Road Law. If you stop to think you cannot help but be against auch a proposition and there is no politics In thia question. It is simply one of what is Ireet for our people. This county has built 6»»0 miles of macadam road under thia law and they are good roads, built at a coat of about $3,000 per mil’’ This is less cost, we venture, than any similar amount of road in the middle west average*. Twothirds of all our rnpd ' are macadamized. Those who lived on the other third helped to do it. ami they are entitled to similar benefits. If the law is repeated, the roads will be turned over to a highway commission, backed by Purdue and the State Automobile association. These organizations are, of course, high class, and we are for them, but not on this law, for we believe they would favor the paving of the main roads, while the greater number of our people remain on roads that receive no attention. We are absolutely opposed to the repea) of this law. and we believe that ninety-nine per cent of the people of the county are. Sign the petitions . and, do your share towards defeating I this effort to take away county rights. fl octoow, ?. I'.v.vy.-wwe-KXVTy ■ 1 pOINCS IN SOCIETY | WEEK'S SOCIAL CALENDAR. Friday.

The current topics period was an interesting one with events of the day enumerated. — —o INTERESTING MACHINE AT DODGE BROTHERS Another notable example of thoroughness as practiced in th* manufacture of the Dodge Brothers’ motor car is an impact testing machine which literally pounds parts to pieces •to determine how much they tan stand. The visitor in the physcal laboratories will usually concede, after witnessing the operation, that it is practically impossble for a part to submit to ths test and not suffer exposure of its weak points, if it has any. The machine is a minature pile driver with the addition of sccntiiic ‘instruments for measuring the blow delivered. The operator knows in advance precisely the number of blows the object should be able to take from a hammer of a known weight falling from a known height. The number of blows, and their force, required to smash the piece is recorded, and if on® easting of a batch fails to stand up to the required standard the entire batch is rejected Among the car parts tested with jlhe machine are front axle, spindles, knuckle bolts, motor supports. transmission cross arms and all cast iron parts subject to brittleness. MOOSE DANCE THURSDAY. The regular Thursday night dame will be held this week as usual, at the Moose hall. Don’t forget it or you forget an enjoyable occasion. These events are popular because every one who attends has a happy evening. Forget your cares and join the crowd. 277t3w-tf REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT.

J WHY RHEUMATISM COMES I WITH COLD WEATHER. s —— i> (By Valentine Mott Pierce. M. D) 1 A close connection exists between these two—coM weather and rheuma’•tism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of London \has the most followers in the medical rprofession In tho brief that the presence in the system of uric acid, or its salts in excess. Is the reel cause of . rheumatism. Every one has recognized the difference in the appearance of their water as soon as it gets • cold; there is often a copious sedi- ,- ment of "brickdust." Several causes may lead up to an ' accumulation of uric acid in the ays- • tom. which, in turn, cause rheuma : tism or gout, or creaky-Joints, swollen fingers, or painful Joints. For one reason the skin does not throw on 1 the uric acid, by profuse sweating. . as in the hot weather, and the kidnevs are unable to take care of the ' double burden. Another reason is that people do not drink as mm h water in cold weather as in summer, which helps to flush the kidneys. Again, they eat more meat tn cold weather, and some people are so susceptible that they soon develop rheumatism after eating meat. At all such times persons should drink copiously of hot water, say. a I pint morning and night, and take Anuric (double strength! three ot four times a day. This Anuric cornea in tablet form and can be had at al most any drug store. It dissolves the uric acid in the system and carries it outward. 1 would advise everyone t< take Anuric occasionally, and con thiue for three or four weeks, and in that way avoid rheumatism, gout and many of the painful disorders due t< uric acid in the system. Make yourself healthy and strong by open-air exercise and diet. Then cleanse the liver by occasionally stimulating its action with a pleasant laxative composed of the May-apple dried Juice of aloe, and root of jalap sugar-coated and long sold by all druggists as Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets.

Make Silk Sausage Skins. Germany now is making sausage skins of raw silk, according to the Rheinische Westfaelische Zeitung. Even before the war experiments were being conducted in the making of a hollow casing of raw silk to be filled with sausage meat. The Elberfeld ribbon factory is now turning out gn at lengths of this sausage casing. Just now T , however, owing to the shortage of meat, very large quantities of casing are not needed. With the ordinary prices of raw silk prevailing the new casing is no dearer than the usual sausage skins. The Berliner Lokal Anzeiger of August 3 says that a new invention has been introduced by the Berlin inventions bureau for putting meat up in briquettes for transport. These briquettes, if is said, are impervious to the attack of insects. Y. M. C. A. Service. Chicago commerce reports that the Y. M. C.
