It’s called constructive legislation, doggone it. —. j* It takes a mighty good legislative ■ expert to tell you just what the road law as passed by the recent legislature means and so far we havn’t been able to find any body T who claims to ; know. Rabbi Wise, famed as one of the nation's greatest orators will speak at the Majestic theater at Fort Wayne tomorrow night on the League of Nations, than which there has been no more vital subject in the world in half a century. If you have an honest desire to learn what the league means * you have the opportunity. Come on boys. Let's get busy in Decatur. If you wait for everything to be just right you will wait a long time. If we organize for business and get busy we can turn things over in old Decatur during the next year It’s time and it's worth while.

The war is not over until the debts are paid and the person who is able to do so and does not buy bonds « is just as much a slacker now as he i was when our soldiers were facing | the guns at St. Mihiel or Metz.

all felt the war was over and immediately began turning our atten tion to other pursuits, retreiving the time and money lust during eighteen months of war. But the job has not been finished and the government i must raise more money either by the sale of bonds or by taxation. If you are a real American citizen you will want to do your full part in this critical time. The Victory bond drive will start April 21st. Bafore that date there will be many jobs to perform and every red blooded man and wo man will want to help do it. The treasury department has an nounced that the new life insurance policies for soldiers and sailors are ready and your old policy may now be exchanged. The boys who served their country are thus enabled to secure a policy, any form they wish, at rates thirty per cent less than charged by private companies, this being possible because the government pays the cost df conducting the business, permitting the premium to go to the actual payment of benefits The premiums are payable monthly if you want it but may be paid quarterly, semi-annually or annually. It seems a rare opportunity to buy insurance in the soundest company in the world and the young man who procrastinates loses an opportunity to help themselves in a manner that will perhaps never again be offered them. Opinions from leading newspapers in every section of the country from i Maine to Texas and from Georgia to Oregon, gathered by the New York World, show that practically the whole country favor the league of nations. Os fifty replies received by the World not one section of the country was openly opposed to the league, although some asked for a modification. In a number of instances the republican senators who are opposing President Wilson's form ulation of the league, were sternly criticised by their party paper. We can feel sure that the people of this country are in favor of a plan that has as its aim the termination of wars forever to come. are ggitgit m xascggggargat a g w j SOCIETY 8 S Club Calendar Monday Research Club —Mrs. R.

You can have a clear, healthy skin by using Zemo, obtained at any drug store for 35c, or extra large bottle at SI.OO. f Zetno generally removes pimples, blackheads, blotches, eczema and ringworm and makes the skin clear and healthy. Zemo is a clean, penetrating, antiseptic liquid, neither sticky nor I greasy and stains nothing. It is easily applied and costs a mere trifle for each application. It is always dependable. ~ The E.

March 24 —(Special to Daily Democrat)— General Geordey, commanding an army of seventy thou sand Bolsheviks, was reported in a Vienna dispatch today to have crossed the Dneister river and entered Galicia. His army, composed largely of Hungarian and Bulgarian troops captured by Russia during the war, . is said to be following the LembergBudapest railway. (Lemberg is only 60 miles from the Russo-Hungarian frontier. The Poles recently recaptured the city from the Ukrainians ) A dispatch from Budapest said the Czechs have begun to mobilize again the Hungarians. Paris. March 24 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —The peace conference to day began what was supposed to be the last week of its work on the pre liminary peace treaty with everything apparently in a state of chaos. it seemed as though the delegates had nothing to show for their many weeks of hard work except an increased accumulation of unsolved problems. If the situation is half as bad as its surface indications, it seems certain the conference will not wind up its w-ork on the treaty this week, or for several weeks. But members of the American delegation pointed out that the situation is similar to that of the ■losing days of congress, a state legislature or a national convention — when it appears impossible that the work will be completed, yet, it is always finished.

DRINK HOT WATER IF YOU DESIRE A ROSY COMPLEXION Says We Can’t Help But Look Better and Feel Better After an Inside Bath. To look one’s best and feel one’s j ( 1 best is to enjoy an inside bath each morning to flush from the system the j previous day’s waste, sour fermen- j tations and poisonous toxins before it I is absorbed into the blood. Just as coal, when it burns, leaves behind a certain amount of incombustible ma- ■ terial, in the form of ashes, so the , food and drink taken each day leave in the elimentary organs a certain amount of indigestible material, which, if not eliminated, form toxins and poisons, which are then sucked into the blood through the very ducts which are intended to such in only nourishment to sustain the body. If you want to see the glow of '■ healthy bloom in your chest, to see your skin get clearer, you are told to drink every day upon arising, a glass of hot water with one-half LaxI I carin tablet, which is a harmless ■: means of washing the waste material and toxins from the stomach, liver kidneys and bowels, thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire elimentary tract, before putting more food into the stomach. Men and women with sallow skins, liver spots, pimples or pallid .complexion. also those who wake up with a coated tongue, bad taste, nasty breath, others who are bothered with headaches, bilious spells, acid stomach or constipation should begin hot water drinking and are assured of very pronounced results in a few weeks. Just as soap and hot w-ater cleanses, purifies and freshens the skin on the outside, so hot water and Laxca-in act on the inside organs. We must always consider that internal sanitation is vastly more important than outside cleanliness, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while bowel pores do.
