Entered at the postofflce in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. George W. Wickersham, a republican and former United States Attorney General, went to Europe in December, an opix>nent, and returned to this country, two months later, an advocate, of a league of nations. What reversed his judgment is related by Mr. Wickersham in an interview with the New York “World." The whole story of this change of mind is summarized by Mr. Wickersham in his statement that “it wasn't argument which convinced me. ]t was a clearer understanding of the facts.” “Let there be peace,” said Grant after the civil war. “Let there bo no more wars,” says President Wilson after the bloodiest conflict of the ages. Grant was a republican; Wilson is a democrat, but they are alike in their Americanism. Victory bonds will be the highest priced securities on the market in one year. It is admitted that they will be even more attractive than any previous issue and of course among those who know finance it is we'l understood what this means. It need not surprise you, just remember this and see if it doesn’t come true—that in five years from now your Victory bonds will sell at such a prem - ium that you will wish you had raked and scraped up every dollar you could and invested in them. It don’t require a very big fellow to find fault, criticize, be pessimistic and make excuses for not doing what you know- way down inside, you should. It takes courage to do your part in as fairs these days, but say, you who do are the citizens worth while. Finish the job, don’t be a quitter, don’t let some one else carry all the load. If we all help it will be easy. Mr. Merchant here's a tip from one of the biggest concerns in the country, “We use eifihty per cent of our advertising appropriation in selling our new goods and twenty per cent to clean up.” If it's good for the big store it’s good tor you. —r ■ ' We certainly appreciate the support which has been and is now being given the Daily Democrat by th a I merchants of Decatur. We take back] any thing we may have said before! for the local merchants have certainly been taking advantage of our splendid circulation. Decatur is the

After an attack of influenza, doctors advise that nature be assisted in its building-up process by the use of a good tonic —one that will not only put strength and endurance into the body, but will also help to build up and strengthen the run-down cells of the brain. One of the most highly recommended remedies to put energy into both body and brain is Bio-feren —your physician knows the formula—it is printed below. There’s iron in Bio-feren—the kind of iron that makes red blood corpuscles and creates vigor. There is lecithin also: probably the best brain invigorator known to science. Then there is good old reliable gen- , tian, that brings back your lagging ■ appetite. There are other ingredients that help to promote good health, as you can see by reading this formula, not forgetting kolo, that great agent that puts the power of en- . durance into weak people. Taken altogether Bio-feren is a splendid active tonic that, will greatly help any weak, run-down person to regain normal strength, I energy, ambition and endurance. Bio-feren is sold by all reliable ■ druggists and is inexpensive. For weakness after influenza patients are advised to take two tablets after each meal and one at bed time — seven a day, until health, strength and vigor are fully restored. It will not fail to help you and if for any reason you are dissatisfied with results your druggist is authorized to return your money upon request—without any red tape of any kind. Note to physicians: Ther» Is no secret about the formula of Bioferen, it is printed on every mck- ; age Here I* i«: Lecithin: Calcium Glycero-phosphate; Iron Peptonate, Manganasa Feptonat*; Kxt- Nux..
