DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1918

The Monroo and Decatur basket ball teams will open the new hall hero tomorrow evening. Tho old opera house has been converted Into a gymnasium. With the flu thick In cities arouud here, it should be the first though of every one to be careful. Don’t visit where you know there Is sickness, watch the children and yourself, treat every cold at! though it was the first symptoms of the flu. A letter from Lieut. Robert H. Peterson, Camp Sherman, Ohio, says he expects to be mustered out of service next Wednesday and will enter newspaper work. He has had considerable experience in that line and was a senior at the state university when he entered the array. [ W. F. Peterson, contractor who built the new high school here is iu Decatur closing up some details concerning the work and the settlement for same. Ho will return to Chicago this afternoon. Mr. Wynes, his estimator who was here several weeks while the contract was being made, died suddenly in Chicago recently. Ho worked at the polls all day election day, went home at nine o'clock that night in a dazed condition as tho result of a stroke of apoplexy and died thirty-six hours later. He was , about 47 years old. ; Hog Island's experience has shown that riveting can be steadily improved even by experienced journeymen I riveters, provided the men realize the necessity for consistent and sustained effort in turning out work. In the month of October, the average num- ' ber of rivets driven per hour by tho ’ gangs at the yard advanced almost ' steadily from 19 to 26, and even the student riveters improved their aver- ■ age from 11 to 12 an hour to 16. In- • creased efficiency on the part of the ’ riveters will soon, it is believed at the 1 yard, lead to the fulfillment of M". Schwab’s* prediction that Hog Island would eventually be driving 200,000 rivets a day. 1 To insure success with pola- ' toes next year a s’art should be made now says F. C. Gaylord of the hoiti- . cultural extension staff of Purduo University. Select an entire new site j cover it well witlj manure and have > it plowed or spaded before the ground is frozen, thus turning the manure under. Leave the ground rough all , winter, as it will be in bet'er condition to work in the spring and will dry out more readily, savs th” specialist. To get -n earlv croo. it is essential that ’he so” he worked imt as soon as possible in the spring. Plowing and fertilization this fall ' will make the work easier in the spring and increase chances many per cent tor a successful crop. Railorads are very much in ’he /market tor labor rower at this time, according to news from several sections of the country which has rea> hed the department of labor. Lines operating in the northwestern states have sent out calls for all classes of railroad help. One company wants carpenters, carpenter helpers, machinists, car repairers, car laborers, boiler washers, roundhouse men, section men, timekeepers and bridge workers. With the nresent demands on labor it is essential that every man should be usefully employed, according to federal officials, and thousands of men who have never before engaged in any essential occupation are now becoming real producers. Men summoned under the “work or fight” order to engage in war work have found that there is a great doal of work in munitions shops that is not heavy work. Large numbers of these men w'ere not physically fit to engage in the more laborious forms of munitions production, because their work as clerks, salesmen and the tike had not accustomed them to any great amount of muscular effort. For these men, the munitions plants found suitable jobs—some of them in the offices and some hi the main plant as stores clerks, timekeepers, or in the less exacting mechanical processes. The effort was made throughout to fit men to jobs they could hold comfortably, and as a result high eflictoncy in production was obtained. The gold watch which F. C. Paiin of Newton, chairman of the membeiship committee of the Indiana Coni , Growers' Association, will give to the boy member between 14 and 18 yea's old tor obtaining the most junior members tor the association, is now in the office of the association secretary, Prof. G. I. Christie, at Purdue University. The watch is valued at SSO by tlie jeweler from whom it was purchased and it is a prize worth a lot of effort from any boy in the state. Mr. Palin, the donor of the gift, has established a reputation throughout the country as a corn grower by producing a “thousand dollar ear” which won a trophy worth this amount a: the national corn show at Liner,’.:i Neb., in 1909. He had been a member, of the corn growers' association sin :e it was organized and also served one year as its president.

FAVOR BUILDING President Wilson and Secretary Baker Favor the Prompt Resumption OF ROAD BUILDING Necessity for Construction —Also Will Furnish Labor for Men. Washington. D. C., Dec. s—President Wilson favors the earliest possible resumption and extension of highway construction under the Federal Aid Road Act and lias written Secretary of Agriculture Houston to that effect. The secretary of war has also written the secretary of agriculture in favor of highway work. The president’s letter follows: “Dear Mr. Secretary: “1 heartily agree with you that it ' would be in the public interest to resume in full measure the highway i construction operations under tl.e Federal Aid Road Act, and to do so ( as speedily as possible. I understand [ the necessity which existed for their [ contraction during the stress through , which we have been passing, but that obstacle is now removed. 1 believe , that it would be highly desirable to have an additional appropriation ma ie , available to the department of agriculture, to lie used in conjunction, if ’ possible, with any surplus state and community funds, in order that theso operations may be extended. It is , important not only to develop good , highways throughout the country as quickly as possible, but it is also at ! this time especially advisable to re- ( sume and extend all such essential public works, with a view to furnishing employment for laborers who may be seeking new tasks during the ’ period of readjustment. Knowing ' that the department of agriculture ’ and the state highway authorities in ! each state have been carefully wori:- ' ing out road systems and developing 1 plans and specifications. I have .io ’ doubt that all activities in this field ' can be vigorously conducted through 1 SwePinff Tinder the Eves. Gra'-'ish White ar Waxv Color of the Skin Denotes Nephritis or Inflammation of the Kidneys. , A slight degree of kidney trouble' affects the mind and body, nephritis, i ’ (Inflammation of the kidneys) causes mental diseases in two ways: Through , changes in the walls of the blood ves- ' seis and through poisonous changes I in the blood. Creatin. creatinin and potassium salts, commonly produced tn kidney diseases irritate the lining of the animal brain. ; San-Yak is the remedy that does . actual wonderful daily good It pre- , vents the self-poisoning from which so many people suffer, thereby keep--1 ing the arteries soft and flexible at ■ ages past fifty No better proof could be had than .from the following letters: Mrs. Jemima Tickle, Celina. Ohio. ■ (grandmother of Perry Baker, counj ty treasurer). She is 90 years old and was subject to a great dizziness and fainting spells, nigh blood pressure, ■ stiff and clumsy in the muscles, but . after taking San-Yak is again in normal health, being able to do her own housework and washing. She says she can walk a mile with most of the young folks. J. B. White, ex-chief of police of ' Marion, Ind., and recently proprietor : of tho Hotel DeSoto, states as foli lows: “SAN-YAK. yes, I know that medi- ' cine. I used four bottles when I was ’ in Benton Harbor. Mich. I was sub- , ject to short breath, heart, kidney, . bladder and liver troubles; bad blood. I am pleased to have an opportunity ' to recommend San-Yak to my friends. . It is a wonderful medicine and its claims are true Yours with pleasure. ' J B. WHITE.” P. A. Kellogg, 289 Second St., Benton Harbor, Mich., says: “San-Yak , I cured me of paralysis of five years’ j standing. I had bad action of the 1 kidneys, bladder and liver for many ! years. The hardening of the arteries has disappeared. People of advanced years should use San-Yak for ' health’s sake and a longer life of ac- • tivity and usefulness.” Dr. J. J. Weir, the eminent chilI dren's specialist, Millburg, Mich., says; “This is to certify that I have ! prescribed San-Yak for a bad case of i stomach trouble and I am glad to say ' ] it helped really beyond my expectai tions. I can cheerfully recommend j it to any one afflicted. One teaspoonful in glass of water half-hour before 1 breakfast beats all antiseptics and ' tonics for the stomach and bowels ■ and kidneys. I have tried all kinds.” "Os late years I have been troubled I with my heart. Upon being examined '. the doctors told me it was high blood presure. They tried to relieve me but , did not do any good. I was told to try San-Yak on a guarantee, which I did, and am now very thankful. 1 have taken several bottles and am not now troubled one bit with my heart. My blood pressure is now down to normal. It is also a very good tonic, for I now feel the best 1 have felt for several years.”—T, J. Parr, R. F. 3, Benton Harbor. Mich.

"My Dear Mr. Secretary: “I am in full agreement with your view that there should not only be prompt resumption of road construction under the- Federal Aid Road Act, and under such further authority a may exisls for separate state action, but also that additional funds should be made available to your department for the extension of such work. The war department, as you know, detailed one of its officers to serve with your bureau of public roads in its co isideration of highways which might have a value for military’ purposes, and I shall be giad to have the closest possible cooperation continue as tl.c work enlarges. "Cordially yours, "NEWTON D. .BAKER, “Secretary of War.” BUILD ALL YOU WANT TO Indianapolis, Dec. 5 —M. E. Foley, chairman of the State Council of Defense, yesterday received the following telegram from Washington: “From the best Information obtainable here, we believe that there is now available sufficient labor, fuel, transportation and building material to warrant the withdrawal of all r;istrictions on building projects. We feel it the duty of this board to aid the public and the industries to return to normal conditions as quickly as possible, and unless there is sound objection to this course by the state councils, it is our purpose to take immediate action along this line. Will you kindly wire promptly your views and recommendations, having ‘n mind particularly the conditions in your section of the country.” Chairman Foley replied to this telegram, stating in part as follows: complete release will be appreciated by the people of our state, and, in my
