Compare the streets of Deigitur with those of any other city of 5,000 and you will discover that we not only have more good paved blocks than most of them, but that the streets are hi tter kept, and that's right. Keep them clean and bright. It helps'a lot. Candidates for city offices have just a week to complete their work and they will have to steam up a little if public interest is greatly aroused. Then is u« election of more real importance to the people of Decatur for these men control the affairs of the , municipal corporation In which you reside. The state senate killed the bill to transfer the power of tile oil inspection bureau to the h«dth and food department and in doing so they performed fust exactly to the taste of a major.i,- • •,' the. people, of' the state" who do no!

The very best possible way to take care of yourself is to take a glass of hot water before meals and Anuric, the discovery of Dr. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y. Step into any drug store and ask for a 50c. package of Anuric, which is many times more potent than lithia and eliminates uric acid almost as hot water melts sugar. A short trial will convince you.
