LONELY AMERICA:— Last week, Norway. Sweden, Den-: mark and Holland. joined the League of Nations, apparently hav- ( ing no fear for their sovereignity ( and independence. The great pow- ( era of Europe, with the exception of Germany and Russia, are members of the league. So are several of the American countries. As we ha\ r e seen European neutrals feel that their interests demand that they come into it. But we hesitate, fearful of everything except the frightful evils whjch the league is designed to prevent. No objection has been too trivial to furnish a basis for criticism ami ob jection. Senators have assumed that the president, or a combination of foreign powers, might commit us to action forbidden by our Constitution. They have haggled even over the 1 question whether this nation should 1 he allowed to assume the obligation ' of paying its share of tlie cost of ad * ministration. JW’

DR. RICHARD’S WORDS SHOW WHY TRUTONA OVERCOMES BAD AFTER-EFFECT OF ‘FLU’ 1 ‘ An Appetizer. System Builder, Strengthener and Real Nerve Tonic." Prominent Physician Declares of Perfect Preparation—What All ‘‘Flu’ Victims Need

“As an appetizer, strengthener. sy.s-| tern builder and real nerve tonic. I can heartily recommend and vommeml Trutona.” Dr. J. Richards, the prominent Te. nessee physician, in making the tongoing statement, has really pronouns ■ i ed Trutona a remarkable treatment! lor overcoming serious after-effects of influenza, pneumonia and the like. Victims of these dreaded winter maladies, after "recovering" from an attack, almost invariably find themselves possessed of little or no appe-p tite and their systems in a dreadfully , weakened, run-down and nervous ■ state. Considering Dr. Richard's words it is easy to understand why Trut >n t 1 has proven such a remarkable remedy for overcoming these bad effects. "An appetizer, strengthener. system builder and real nerve tonic" —these tire the qualifications that have won for Trutona the unstinted praise of thousands of unfortunate influenza and pneumonia victims who have regained their health through the Perfect Tonic.

Wet Feet—Look Out for Flu! ( FNI!) you get your feet wet toj day? Did you go out without sufficient clothing? Do you feci a cold coming on?

Thousands ot homes are never without Lightning Laxative Quinine Tablets. See yourdruggistordealer- They cost only asc. If things continue to go as they I are going, America will soon be en I joying what the English used to call I they know better now —a “splen I did isolation.” There can lie no sue! I thing in the civilized world as an iso I luted nation. Our national policy I must be very largely determined by I

OUT relation or want of it to th< I league of nations. Secretary Dauiehl was quite right in saying that wi I 1 should need a greatly larger navy it I wo refused to join the league. Tha i I I is something that any one could un I ■ ilerstand. j Our rate of national taxation is I therefore dependent in no small de I gree on our policy with reference tel the league of nations. We shall liniil "splendid isolation” very costly. W< I can not have the largest navy in the I world without paying for it, and ill will have to be paid for out of taxe> I collected from the people. And so oil the army. Unless we co-operate we I must compete; unless we become al partner of other nations we must be I a rival. The people would do well tel ask themselves whether they desire I to be Relieved of any of the burdens I that they have been carrying. There! is something beside idealism in the! league of nations issue—something I exceedingly practical. | Here is offered a chance to reduce! _______________________ r

Pearl street, praising! the reconstructive powers of Trutona. says: I "I can hardly realize how much good iTrutona’s done for me in ridding myl system of the after-effects of influ-1 ienza. I certainly feel different now I I adays and 1 can highly recommend I | Trutona. especially as an after-the-flu medicine.” I Harry Lee. 1661 Gallagher street. Louisville. Ky., a sufferer from the I after-effects of pneumonia, says: "I’ve igainted twenty-eight pounds and feel i tine now—just like a new man. since taking Trutona." of of which is surely conclusive proof of Trutona’s 1 merit. "I’ve found Trutona to be ver)’ efficient in overcoming after-effects of influenza." declares Mrs. Iva Gates, a well known Peru, Ind., woman of 155 Canal street. There are scores of other similar statements and they prove conclusively that there is no bettor preparation lor the treatment of affter-eft’ects of pneumonia, influenza, deep colds and the like than Trutona, the Perfect Tonic Trutona is sold in Decatur at Smith, Yagei A- Falk’s drug store. 10-17

I taxation in every nation in the world I Nothing perhaps would do more to I ielp forward the work of reconsiruc I ion. Yet we are proposing to keep I axes high in this country, and no I compel high taxes in other lands. I Only the other day it was announced I that France could see no safety unI ess she had an army of 1,000.00< l m*' n I Yet by joining the league of nations. I mil ratifying the Franco Anieiii an I reaty. w hich is designed to make I things safe till the league begins to I operate, we can save* tile French peoI pie from the enormous expenditure I that will be needed to sustain such Itn army. And thus we would serve I ourselves. The issue is between the I (Id system of competitive armament. I which had almost broken the back of I Europe before the war. and co-opera-I Mon among the nations that will make I such competition unnecessary. What I lo the people who pay the taxes I think about it all? —lndianapolis I News. I Governor Goodrich is simply disI gusted witli the condition of affairs I tn this state and lias decided to go I’o Florida. Possibly he thinks that I his absence will ease the turmoil in I he republican political cricles and I will thus give the “boys" a chance I o run things. He has not said whether or not lie will call a special session of the legislature in April, ■ven though the state and benevoent institutions are faced with the feasibility of closing their doors and he people are clamoring for the repeal of the tax law and the county init road law. It’s hard to face the music, eh "Gov.” Ou account of his health. Thomas Taggart has withdrawn his name as he democratic candidate for United ■States senator. His . many friends

I ind political friends sincerely regret 1 Illis action. Mr. Taggart has been in • I poor health for sometime and no : I doubt feels that he is not strong, I enough to go the campaign. Tne I I friends of Frank Dailey, ot Bluffton, I be government prosecutor in the I Newberry election case, are ttying Ito get him to be a 4audidijte. The' I democrats will now nominate , the 1 1 candidate in convention. - Miss Sari Hadahiamo, seventeen ‘ I year old daughter of the “HoekefelI ler of Turkey” and heiress to one | hundred million dollars, has been 10-| Icated in this country after her 1 friends feared for her safety. Some people might think that she is a ! ( lucky girl, being the fiancee of the Amir of Hedpaz. besides the heir to her father's millions, but we will all I agree that a "name” is worth something. t With a fend of one hundred thou- r ■and dollars the Decatur building as- 2 sociation could build from twenty tol' twenty five houses.

HOOVER IS INDEPENDENT (United Press Service) New York. March 10—(Special to Daily Democrat)— Herbert Hoover i has definitely refused to align hiniI self with any of the organized par- | ties as at present constituted, characI terizing himself as an “independent i progressive.” The foimer world food controller said that before the war he was a progressive republican but that during the war he was a non partisan. I The group of western friends who • elicited this much information ( from tlie politically tactiturn Hoov- ; ir. accepted the theory that “once a ' republican always a republican” and , intimated they would immediately 1 lunch a campaign to “draft” him for the republican presidential nom- 1 ination. “I am not seeking public office and. consulting my own personal inclinations. I do not want public office.” Hoover wrote to this group who recently conferred with him. HE DIO THE RIGHT THING (United Press Service) Indianapolis. Ind.. Mar. 10 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —William G. McAdoo. in a telegram to Walter Meyers, made public here today, endorsed the action of his Indiana supporters in withholding his name from the Indiana primary ballots. Meyers made I rhe telegram publie,in answer to the charges that the McAdoo men were "asleep” when the Marshall and Edwards petitions were filed. “You did exactly the right thing in nos filing petition to place me in Indiana presi-1 dential primary.” the telegram said. "You know of course that I stand for uninstructed delegates. Your action, therefore, was entirely in line with' my desires.” MADE IT EASY JOB (United Hr- is Service) Chicago, 111.. Mar. 10—(Special to Daily DeniocrM) Abolition of the sawed-off shot gun as a means to pre- 1 vent bank hold-ups substituting state ’ constabularies, was advocated here today by bankers attending the ninth . n- ‘ nual conference of the Central States Rankers’ association. Bank robberies last year, according to W. W. Bowman. Topeka. Kans., were greater than in any,previous year, “due to the lure' of the liberty bond which ws so easily negotiable.” Tlie only way to stop bank hold-ups and prevent crime is for every state to have a state constabU-* lary such as Pennsylvania has. .-aid Bowman. “This constabulary should be equipped with horses, motorcycles and automobiles." he declared. 1 ’ INDIANAPOLIS MARKET Indianapolis.
