This prevents improvements and the settlement of business and it’s time the people of the country dislodges Lodge and his co-workers. We are not exactly out of the woods so far as the fuel question is concerned but if every one will just be a little direful we will get through without any body suffering very much. Don't waste your coal however just because the strike is over. Remember that it’s several months until spring and the supply is short. Use good common sense. Cheer up. the miners are returning I to work and within another week i the production of fuel will be back to normal. In many cities the re-1 strictions are being lifted as to use i of light and power and by Monday this will perhaps be general.

all the inconvenience has not been

i so great and we should be thankful that the industrial battle ended | when it did. Another month would ' have meant the greatest suffering j ever known here. You can really make money by reading the Daily Democrat advertisements. At the present rates they are not put in the paper just for fun but because they carry you a message. The wise ones read the advertisements as carefully and with ' us much interest as they do any part 1 of the paper and many people save a dozen times the price of the paper by taking advantage of the bargains offered. , Gee but it was dark last night and jwe don't like it. We will all be I thankful when the street lights and ' the display signs are on again. By the way when this is over and we get to going good, let’s turn on more lights. We always did favor it end we still feel that the best sign of a good, live town is plenty of light. When we get our new power plant, if we do, let's plan to have street lights that will attract the attentioa of the visitor. During the next year, hundreds of people will come here, many of them reaching Decatur at j midnight. The first impression lasts and if they have to feel their way to the hotels, they won't like us. Let's have light when we can get it. The New York Chamber of Commerce is right—we are facing “a crisis in morals and trade,” and also one in party politics. Understanding i the situation so well, the republicans should take the treaty out of the hands of Senator Lodge, who is its —— .

enemy, and aho is the author of the concurrent resolution by which it I was proposed to make a separate peace with Germany, it was Lodge, ; too, who suggested that the treaty be made an issue in the campaign. He j does not represent a majority of the republicans in the senate, the republicans who recently met in Wash- A ington, or. as we believe, the republicans of the nation. He represents , only the small minority in the senate, _ including two or three democrats. \ who would kill the treaty outright. Here is a "mess” which only the republicans can clean up. They will « ' greatly strengthen themselves, their r 1 influence, and their party by taking J the business in hand. By placing the f treaty in the hands of its friends, * i ( they would throw on the president 1 the responsibility of repelling friend- ® I 1 ly advances if. unhappily, he should t see fit to do so.—lndianapolis News, j SOCIETY DOINGS i , t At the meeting of the Pocahontas lasi evening it was decided to have a ( , “pot luck" supper next Friday event ing after I.odge, at the hall.

The extra work put upon digestive organs leads to indigestion, biliousness, headache, bad breath, coated tongue, bloating, gas, constipation. Foley Cathartic Tablets thoroughly cleanse the bowels, sweeten the stomach and benefit the liver. They cause no griping or nausea and are liked by over-stout persons who welcome the light, free feeling they bring.
