[al of the offices there are contests | among the Democrats. It is important that the best men be selected to I take care of the county offices and we I have faith in the democratic voters of the county doing that. The campaign will be an important one, nationally and in the state and before November there will be much interest. In this county fights should be forgotten and a spirit of harmony created. This is the year.

el The worst official scandal ever tinr | earthed in Indiana is that now being | uncovered in Judge Anderson’s court [at Indianapolis, concerning tire ad ’ | ministration of “Honest Bob" Miller. | Marion county sheriff. His treatment -| of prisoners including miserable [food, extra charges for beds and food. i|for drinking water, a "rake off” in a t [ poker game, pass keys at fixed prices, i | inhuman beating of insane prisoners . I and other features unheard of and | unthinkable have startled those who ■| have been in touch with the evidence | That a number besides the sheriff | will be indicted is the prediction and 11 yet “Honest Bob” and some others | new in the lime light are candidates | for reelection in Marion county. [Guess the results. • I The dedication of the new Genera: | Electric plant in Decatur will occur | next Saturday afternoon and evening | It is perhaps the most important day |in the history of this splendid com | munity for it marks the opening in e | formal way of the new industry, one | that promises to grow in the years | to come to gigantic proportions. The | new plant will employ several hun | dred people and eventually will have | on its payroll as many people as have [ heretofore been employed in the en | tire city. It has already brough: I here one excellent plant, the foundry.

They do all the good that calomel does but have no bad after effects. No pains, no griping, no injury to the gums or danger from add foods—yet they stimulate the liver and bowels.

DEMOCRAT WANT ADS PAY BIGI A GOOD DAY Notwithstanding yesterday was a stormy day the Sunday school at the U. B. church led up with good interest and numbered 190. A very tender spirit prevailed during the preaching and join-the-church service. Eighteen were taken in as new members. O. P. Mills was leader of the C. E. in the evening and had a good program: also a big attendance. He directed the choir in special Easter music both in the C. E. and the preaching service. After the sermon the altar call was given as it had been every evening for a week and a half and four heads of families bowed at the altar in tears. A number of others have been saved during the week’s meeting. The meeting closed with the reception of members and the communion. Twelve more new members were taken in making thirty in all for the day and there are yet others to join and will before the meeting closes. The week's meeting was to have closed last night but it was thought advisable to continue the meeting tonight and tomorrow night. So we call special attention to all and invite the same to these services. C. J. MINER.

Then your vitality is so low that nature can not resist germ diseases. You are an easy victim.

They mean that your body is full of poison waste matter which should have been carried off. The One Day Doctor regulates and tones up the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. In twenty-four hours it cleans you out thoroughly and makes you feel like new. Not a violent physic, but a scientific treatment prepared by a physician of long experience. Don’t neglect yourself at this time of the year when there is so much flu and other sickness. At the first sign of trouble take the One Day Doctor. You’ll be surprised how well it will make you feet If you are already suffering from cold, grippe or flu, nothing is better than One Day Doctor. By throwing off the poisons, it gives nature achance to stamp out the disease. 25 cents at all druggists. Absolute satisfaction or your money refunded. —One Day Doctor Co., Bourbon, Ind.

The After EiSt? of Pneumonia ■ — This is No. 2 of a series of advertisements, prepared bv a petent physician, explaining how certain diseases which atut the air passages—such as Pneumonia, Influenza, Whu,r Cough, Measles or even a long continued Cold—o'teni 8 these organs in an inflamed, congested state, thus afford!™ favorable foothold for invading germs. And how Vick’s v? 1 Rub may be of value in this condition. '*P°"

Pneumonia attacks the air cells of the lungs. An inflammation 1 is set up and matter is thrown off which causes the air cells to ■ solidify, thus preventing the natural flow of blood thru the lungs. This “backing up’’ of the blood causes .the heart to pump harder, just as stepping on a hose increases the water pressure, which is the reason why, during this disease, the physician watches the overburdened heart so carefully. » After recovery the lungs are filled with a mass of wreckage — the debris of the battle —which must be gotten rid of by a process 1 known as resolution. Frequently, inflamed spots remain, congestion persists, cough hangs on, and the least exposure brings on a cold that is hard to get rid of. If i neglected, such damaged air passages may easily develop serious } disease of the lungs. Such cases should always cons tinue under a physician’s care and frequent examinations should 1 be made to see that nature is
