Seems like the world has been tilted a little to the south this winter for] it’s impossible for a February snow to “stick" lone enough to remind us | that the season of raw winds, bliz-1j zards and biting snow storms is with us. It’s just the kind of a winter we j wanted to follow the memorable one j of 1918. : •- ' ! ————

The Gym fund has passed the nine hundred dollar mark. We felt that it would. The contribution of fifteen dollars donated in the name of the "Big Three” sent the fund past another century mark. That’s the real spirit. Help provide a place for tne young folks. They are deserving of it. .A well known business man told us today that a large food canning factory would like to locate their plant in Decatur, a poinUin our favor being the railroad facilities and the favorable location of the town. With a Chamber of Commerce properly organized a committee could investigate the proposition and possibly secure for Decatur a real enterprise that would mean much in the building up of the town and in giving employ-1 ment to hundreds of people. What amusement or place of good, healthful amusement is provided for the boys and girls of Decatur? Figure it out yourself and the best answer you can derive at is the “movies.” You. as interested parents do not want your boy or girl to roam the streets or worry about their whereabouts. Then subscribe to the Gym fund so a suitable place for the time being can be provided for the young folks to enjoy themselves. You'll J know then where they are at and can rest at ease about their welfare, . Os interest to the people of Decatur and especially to members of the local Rotarv club who will attend the I ' district convention of Rotary next ( week, is the following editorial from 1 the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette: “The tetimation frqm Indianapoiisj that Arthur J. Folsum of Fort Wayne j * may be made bead of the Rotariars | of the district, includng Indiana, sug- L gests to all who have observed the |; sprit of the ‘citizen pastori that no ! one could possibly be selected who would more admirably symbolize the ! Rotarian spirit—which is service.

and thought upon civic movements i for the amelioration of the condition of mankind, but in no community that we know is there a man who combines so perfectly the willingness j with the capacity. And no one that he have heard can so gracefully, eloquently, convincingly voice the spirit of Rotary as he. He would not only be effective in the practical organizing work, but would adorn the position of those occasions of a social nature so closely identified with the organization. Just how he has been able to maintain the high standard he has set for hi 3 work in the pulj pit, and yet respond to each and every call upon his time and talents is a problem that only he can answer. In | the event the local Rotarians decide to present his name to the conference at Indianapolis, the people of Fort Wayne whether Rotarians or not, and of all parties and sects and creeds, will heartily share in the desire to have the honor thus bestowed where honor is so richly due. “; 3^^X3C3JI3SI3SBI3JStSI*B I SO6I£TY i

It can be said broadly that most human ills begin in the stomach and end in the stomach. Good digestion means good 'health, and poor digestion means" bad health. The minute your stomach fails to properly dispose of the food you cat, ; troubles begin to crop out in various forms. Indigestion and dyspepsia are tho com- ] merest forms, but thin, impure blood, * headaches, backaches, pimples, blotehtoj dizziness, belching, coated tongue, weakness, poor appetite, sleeplessness, coughs, cclds and bronchitis are almost as common. Thera is but one way to have good health, and that is to put and keep your stomach in good order. This i 3 easy to do if you take Dr. Pierce’s Golden'Medical Discovery. It is a wonderful tonic and blood I purifier, and is so safe to take, for it is ! made of roots and herbs. Dr. Pierce, of | BufTcio, N. Y., stands behind this standard medicine, and it is good to know that so distinguished a phyaur'an is proud to have I his o' l me identified with it. When you take Golden Medical Discovery, you "are getting the benefit of the experience erf a l doctor whose reputation goes all around the earth. Still more, you get a temperance medicine that contains not a drop of alcohol or narcotic of any kind. Long ago Dr. Pierce combined certain valuable v egetable ingredients—without the use of alcohol —so that these remedies always (have been strictly temperance medicines. If piles are torturing you, get and use Pierce’s Anodyne Pile ’Ointment. The quick relief it gives is hard to believe until you try it. If constipated, Dr. Pierre’s I Pleasant Pellets should be Ukea while 1 using Anodyne Pile Ointment, Few in■■red are the eases which these splendid Hedies will not relieve and usually over- , °“ :e - They are so good that nearly , -.-/cry drug store has them for sale.
