Under present conditions it will be almost impossible for any community to do much in advancing living conditions but we can continue to plan so that next spring will bring an era so prosperous that it will help to make up for the hard times through which we are now passing. Those who thought a mild winter was in store have the right to change their minds today. Smart people often do. The zero weather this morning made every fellow look ( at his coal pile with a different attitude and the one who doesn't pet I his store of fuel those days is worse' than a spend thrift. He is actually criminally foolish. Senator Newberry is out of jail be-' Chase a Cold— Stop Flu!

' cause ho win able to furnish bond in the sum of SIO,OOO. Ho will return to Washington to Jain those who are opposing the president and boasting about it. Os all crimes ever committed against the people of this conn* I try those now being perpetrated by r th.* politicians in Washington are the greatest and if the people do not insist on the ousting of those who publicly brag of such accomplishments • as defeating the treaty because Mr. Wilson is for it and no other reasons, they do not deserve prosperity and happiness. Unless Decatur makes a greater effort to meet the orders of the fuel supervisors, it will be impossible to secure shipments of coal. That ought to be sufficient warning to every business man and manufacturer to comply strictly with any request made of him. Os course it is hard to sacrifice business at this season of the year but even that is better than to feel that you have in any way contributed to any condition that may during the next ten weeks cause the people of the community to suffer any more than is absolutely necessary. Grit your teeth and hang on and smile. I Fuel orders do not effect newspapers for the reason that it is felt that the people must have the news as it breaks. The newspapers are : the arteries through which pass every communication and order and ! without them the country would indeed be in a serious condition. Every publisher would prefer to comply with the orders effective as to other business lines, but it is not so decreed and this will explain why we continue to operate on full time while advising others not to do so. We assure you we will use every precaution to save fuel and we are perfectly willing to meet every request and order, even to closing if this is deemed best for the community. The fuel situation in Decatur is serjous enough though not as bad as in many places. With a weeks supply and the promise of live cars with-

U in the next week, the city will have •n sufficient coal to operate three weeks e bys which time it is hoped some coal g will be moving from the mines, Tais t- however necessitates all possible suv- -- ing of fuel, the district supervisor y ‘ ordering that hours of business, ose pedally as io non-essentiuis be re- -- duced at once, or the railroads will >- not be permitted to furnish more s coal. We believe the only fair method is for every business concern 1, which can possibly do so, every store ;1 and wholesale house to reduce their hours to a minimum, rather than to close down entirely the non-essential plants. Immediate action must be I taken and this should be such as has J been found most satisfactory in other t cities. Better all make a little sac- ’ riflee than have a few do it all. Good '• horse sense is needed just now. COURT HOUSE NEWS Real estate transfers: David I*. Sommers to John W. Parr, lot 287, Decatur, $2500; William 0. Newlon ct 1 al. to William A.

BAD BREATH Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets Get at the Cause and Remove It Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets, the sub stitute for calomel, act gently on th” bowels add positively do the work. People afflicted with bad breath fin<' quick relief through Dr. Edwards' Oliv Tablets. The pleasant, sugar-coate-tablets are taken for bad breath by all who know them. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets act ger ■ tly but firmly on the bowels and liver, stimulating them to natural action, clearing the blood and gently purifyin the entire system. They do that whic dangerous calomel does without any of the bad after effects. All the benefits of nasty, sickening, griping cathartics are derived from Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets without griping, pain or any disagreeable effects. Dr. F. M. Edwards discovered the formula after seventeen years of practice among patients afflicted with bowel and liver complaint, with the attendant bad breath. |* i Olive Tablets are purely a vegetable, compound mixed with olive oil; you * , will know them by their olive color. Take one or two every night for a week ' and note the effect. 10c and 25c.
