Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. Special attention has called recently to the endeavor to pass the vocational education bill over the veto of the president. A blunder had been made in refusing to grant sufficient money to assure wounded soldiers and sailors and marines the benefit of the educational system. The president refused to sign teh bill until the appropriation was increased. The course to pursue was to have admitted the mistake and co-operated

with the president, but the republican leaders began to play politics Their tactics brought thousands oi letters from soldiers whc condemned them and applauded the President. The investigation into the conduct of the war has fallen so flat that there is now talk of discontinuing the work. As the democrats expected when they joined in asking that the investigation be made, the onlything which has been shown is the wonderful efficiency of the militaryforces in this war and the able manner in which the war and navy department brought the enemy to terms. A highly paid publicity mao, engaged by the Republican National Committee has failed to get any re-

sult from this committee. Huntington and Wells county would like to have the tuberculosis hospital and those who have visited such institutions i nother parts of the country deciare they are the most sanitary of any public institutions, that they aid the health of a community, because the experts at such a place are always lighting disease. Adams county could take care of the sanitorium nicely, either on the old fair grounds or at some other place, and it's up to our citizens to get busy if they want it. as the joint meeting of the county commimssioners will be held in this city oir the 31st of this month, and a definite 1 reposition should he put up to them if the results are to be obtained. We will not be coaxed to take it. The use of airplanes commercially is advancing rapidly, and today Decatur has the first taste of it. The Service Transportation company of Wabash is here with a plane taking citizens a ride in the clouds, the fee being fifteen dollars for a straight ride, and twenty-five for a "stunt" ride. In the years to come, these rates will no doubt appear exorbitant and it is predicted that within a year or two each town and city will have its airplane taxi. We are not only stepping some these days, but

"flying high.”

Contracts for the state roads have! been let in other parts of the state.] You haven't heard of any being let! for Adams county, have you? Well, you are not going to for a good while, and then, it will be the very smallest

piece of road possible under the 'aw.| If ever the people got a rotten deal,] and one that looks as though it was premeditatedly studied out. we got ours on this road deal. We get to pay, but we don’t get any goods. ;Be a chatauqua booster. The program is an excellent one, carefully selected by a local committee, the entire management being in the hands of the people of this community. The price of the tickets is as low as it can possible be made this year, to secure high class numbers required to i

ijsatisfy jou. It should be a profitable week, and it will be an enjoyable ore if we all help to make it so. The spirit of the Decatur business men seems to be that they prefer to spend some real money, and whatever is necessary to land a good concern, but the first question that must be settled in their minds is that the proposed plant is a good one. For that, they will go the limit. It will jjome one of these days. SOCIETY Club Calendar Friday Mite Society—Mrs. A. D. Suttles. Minnehaha Neeble Club—At Poca* hontas Hall.

THE PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE

Every woman should know the simple facts of the prevention and cure of disease. It is the ambition of the American Red Cross to educate the women of this country to recognize the first symptoms of illness, to take preventive steps against disease, to guard against its transmission from one member of the family to another, and to nurse cases under the direction of a doctor or a public health nurse. In times of disaster or epidemic these women will stand as the community’s first line of defense, shoulder to shoulder with the doctors and nurses. Five hundred thousand lives were lost in one year through the influenz; epidemic. Eight hundred thousand men were rejected from military service because of physical disabilities. These are a few of the health conditions preventable through the service of a public health nurse. Every community that furnishes a trained nurse, educated for public health work, lessens the possibilities of epidemics and builds up the health of its citizens.

Expenses of public health nursing are borne by the chapter alone or in cooperation with some other interested organization. Expenses consist of the nurse’s salary, her transportation over the country, and her epuipment.for service. The Lake Division bureau of nursing service of the American Red Cross Is prepared to recommend nurses specially trained for public health service, and to confer with (chapters in regard to the necessary expense and equipment.
