STOLEN THIEVES KNOW GOOD SHOES Somewhere between here and Thomson Bros.’ factory at Brockton, Mass., thieves entered a Merchants Despatch car and stole fifteen pairs of Thomson Bros.’ shoes consigned to us. Men who wear these shoes know they are the best, but it is evident that thieves, too, know good shoes when they see them. COME IN AND SEE THE NEW STATLER TYPE Charlie Voglewede SELLS ’EM IN DECATUR

It is suggested by the food administration that' should the labor situation become critical, a plan of cutting off the source of wholesale supply from recalcitrant retailers might be found effective. The food administration is hopeful of evading any such extremity. Dr. Barnard says, preferring to make the whole plan workable as a voluntary, patriotic measure. It is a good conservation, and also’ good business, to provide dry-storage ( space for canned goods in retail and wholesale grocery stores. Moisture will rust and ruin tin goods, producing pin holes in the cans leading to the j entry of air and germs. Even if cans ( are not perforated and contents spoiled, they will be discolored and the l ibels rusted when stored in premises allowed to become either too warm or too moist. Sales of canned goods depend on their bright, attractive ap ' pearance, says Jelke Good Good Luck News, and all the labor and cate given' this merchandise more than repaid fn the maintenance of attractiveness which makes for sales. Some one in every grocery stofre should be apitointed to supervize / the canned-goods storeroom. |

BIG SUCCESS. The Fullenkamp sale, which closes tonight, has been a decided success. The National Store Service company, of Fort Wayne, which had charge of the sale, certainly knows how to manage and systematize them. They are dean operators, and a credit to any city, and we hope they will return some time in the future to perform a like duty for some others of our merchants who want a good, live sale put on. — o MOTHERS, DO THISWhen the Children Cough, Rub Musterole on Throats and Chests No telling how soon the symptoms may develop into croup, or worse.
