Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. Advocates of universal military training assume that the majority of the people of the United States are in favor of it. It is very doubtful if they are; a vote on the proposition might surprise them. You seldom see a word in favor of it in any of the letters the soldier boys send home from France. They are unanimous in the sentiment that they have had enough war to do them a lifetime.— Columbia City Post. The best place for your Liberty bonds and Thrift stamps is a safety vault. This is no ban kadvertisement, either, but it is the truth and heeding it may save you money and loss oi sleep. With the burglaries as thick as’they have been in various parts in the last few weeks, the bureau drawers and the writing desk become increasingly unsafe locations far such valuables, and the dresser is a decid- 1 edly poor place for your diamond rings.—Goshen Democrat. The Indiana legislature is about the biggest joke ever pulled off in the state house. It has developed into a fight for power by the governor and a few henchmen who ore evidently on the inside. They are planning to raise taxes, to take away the power of town ships and counties in the matter of road buildi-g t“ grrh eff ‘h? auton.' tile taxes mil use that money to maintain state roads and trying to fix things up jubt about right for the Goodrich company. Lieutenant Governor Bush is showing his independence and in fighting the machine is making a record that will star ’ inspection in the future. If you don’t want to help the gym fund, we have no way of making you do it, but we can’t understand why you won’t do it. You know the boys and girls deserve such a place and you I know that there is no chance of getting a 840,000 or $50,000 within the next few years. The old opera! l house, repaired will make a much 1 better place than we have ever offer- J ed the young people and we should do < it this week. Suppose we do spend 51,000 and we only use the building f four or five years, it’s worth it and it I ■"ill help to make the gymnasium an 7 assured improvement in the future. c Please send in your contribution and do it NOW. $ ' ( FOUR NEW CASES. .

For pneumonia it was 8.25 per cent or one death in every 12 cases. Army | medical doctors lost twelve or more influenza cases in every hundred and i almost five pneumonia cases of every twelve. Why should the boastful. grasping, intolerant "regular" who “monopolizes” the care of the sick in the United States army lose five times as many patients in pneumonia as the osteopaths? Who will be responsible for perpetrating such a monopoly? “State medicine has got to be abolished in the interests of public health.—The Osteopathic Physician. 17t2 ~ PUBUC sale. - We. the undersigned, will offer for > sale at public auction at the Palate Livery barn, across from the Decatur Lumber company, on Saturday.
