MRS. NANCY SHARP, of Los Angeles, who says she received one cf the greatest surprises of her life when Tanlac comple.tily restored her health after she had almost lost hope of ever getting well. Declares she suffered for twelve long years. wSspf' fl * WW "Alter seeing the wonderful results iny husband obtained from Tanlac 1 began taking the medicine myself, and now we both agree that it is the grandest medicine on earth," said Mrs. Nancy Sharp, a prominent and highly esteemed resident of Los Angeles. Calif., living at 921 Camulus street, whose husband is proprietor ot the Merchants’ Express Co. • Turing the twelve years that I suf f< r >1 I tried nearly every medicine 1 heard about, but nothing helped me and I lost faith in everything. So my wonderful restoration to health has been one of the greatest surprises of my life. 1 bega nto feel an improvement on finishing my second bottle of Tanlac, and now’ after taking six bottles I ant like a new woman. I have a splendid appetite, eat three hearty meals a day, enjoy them thoroughly and ant never troubled in the least with indigestion or any other disagreeable after effects. "Before, taking Tanlac most everything I ate caused ray stomach to rebel and I would suffer for hours afterwards. I was so dreadfully nervous that many nights 1 never closed my eyes in sleep, but now I am not tht least nervous, and I sleep like a child. My strength has been wonderfully increased, and 1 have much more energy. "I just wish it was so everybody troubled like I was knew about this wonderful medicine.” Tanlac is sold in Decatur at Smith, Yager & Falk’s; in Berne at Stengel & Craig’s; in Geneva at F. C. Deitsch’s and in Monroe at O. O. Hocker’s.

SPORT NEWS. , Locals Have. Busy Week. The local high school boys’ and • girls’ basket ball teams have a busy week before them, the boys’ team being scheduled to play four games and the girls’ two games, all of them taking place in this city with the’ exception of one. The first game of the week is to Be staged at the gym tonight, when the local boys will clash with the fast Columbia City high school quintette. Mr. Geller of Fort Wayne, well known to the local fans, will referee and ono of the best games of the season is predicted. The Columbia City five are a strong aggregation, having defeated a number of teams this season and announced that they were all ready to take the victory along home with them. The locals claim "not” and no doubt they will prove “right” if they keep up their good work shown in the last several games. The preliminary is to be staged between the St. Joseph five and the high school freshman team, and promises to be most interesting. Both teams are evenly matched and a hard battle is expected. Come early tonight and prepare to root for the locals. On tomorrow evening, the local boys’ team will journey to Fort Wayne where they will clash with the C. C. H. S. team of that city. The C. C. H. S. five is considered a strong one, but the locals are full confident of returning home with another victory. A number of rooters are planning on accompanying the team. On Thursday evening another big game that will prove most interesting lo the local fans will take place in this city, when both the local boys and girls team will clash with their old rivals, the Bluffton boys’ and girls' teams. The local girls won both their games last year from the Bluffton girls and will do so again this year. The boys’ team divided the honors last year, each winning a game, and a real battle is expected this year. Plan to attend this one Thursday night, and come prepared to root. The last game of the week will be played Friday against the Alumni boys and girls. Both alumni teams are placticing hard and expect to pull a big surprise. The boys’ team will be composed of three last year’s men and expect to give the boys the battle of their lives. Come tonight and you will want to come the rest of the week. e Geneva High Wins Sixth. Wednesday night of last week the Geneva high school team won its sixth victory of the season by defeating the Poling high school at Geneva in a close and exciting game by a score of 26 to 23. The Geneva boys were over-confident of an easy victory and ran in their second team men to begin with but it took but a few minutes of play to convince them of their error and the regular team took the floor and were barely able to win out and overcome the lead the visitors took at the beginning of the game. Geneva Alumni Adds Another Victory. Organizing a basket ball team in the afternoon of Saturday, December 18, the Geneva alumni basket ball team without ever playing together journeyed to Monroe where they met and defeated the Monroe independent team in the hardest-fought game seen there in a long time, the final score being 19 to 17. Again last Friday night they met the Poling independent team on the Genova floor and won their second victory of the present season by

the overwhelming score of 46 to 23. The game was clean but the visitors were no match for the oil town veterans. “Pick” 'Gross and William Mesel were high-point men, each throwing six Held goals for Geneva. Mesel getting his six during the last half ot the game. Williams of Poling was high point man on his team with . five goals to his credit. The Geneva outfit will meet the Berne Athletic club one evening this week. Mesel , and Striker, both members of the team, are employed by the G. R. & 1. and at present are working in this city. Two-Men Teams. This week will be an open week so far as dates are concerned for the city bowling league, and to make the week an interesting one, several two-men teams have been formed, and it is altogether probable the maple splitters will keep the pin-boys jumping during the entire week. The first games will be rolled this evening, and if too many teams show up for this evening, the schedule will be divided part rolling tonight and the others tomorrow evening. Christmas and evening were busy ones at the alleys. Oscar topped the high score last week, with 264. The previous high was made by Marion Biggs, 254. Happy Christmas (Continued from page one) taken for the orphans of the denominations where orphanages were maintained and in every case a nice large sum was provided. At the Presbyterian church, however, the collection will be used for the Near-East Relief, Chinese and European Relief fund, and some for local purposes. The grand total of $175.35 was raised in the Christmas contribution. Beautiful Christmas Services. Beautiful and impressive services were held at the St. Mary's Catholic church tn this city on Christmas day. The Christmas high mass was celebrated at 5 o'clock in the morning and the church was packed to the doors. Father Vincent Ehinger officiated and delivered a splendid sermon. From five until nine o’clock in the morning masses were said continually and practically every member in the congregation received holy communion. The annual collection for the Orphan’s home at Fort Wayne and Lafayette was taken up at the different masses and a most liberal response met with.

Women Petition For the Place (Continued from page one) Ei win, Mrs. John W. Tyndall and Mrs Faye Smith-Knapp, in behalf of the Woman’s club, asking that a woman be appointed on the board of trustees for the building of the county hospital was filed and spread on record. Four trustees must be appointed by the county commissioners, they to have entire supervision of the building of the hospital. Not more than two persons of the same political party, or a physician, or more than two persons from the city or town in which the hospital is located may be appointed. At the time of going to press no action had been taken in the matter and no statement was made whether or not the trustees would be appointed at this session or carried over until next year. Council Made Appropriation The members of the county council. A. G. Briggs, William Baumgartner, Ernst Conrad, Henry Eiting, John A. Kramer and Frank C. Wech--1 ter met at the auditor’s office this morning and appropriated the sum of $1,519.95 with which to pay current bills, the funds in several of the different appropriations being exhausted. The county commissioners in session at the same time allowed bills and cleared the docket of unfinished business. Frank Mclntosh Appointed Ernst Conrad of Root township, a member of the county council, tendere’d his resignation as a member of the board for the reason that he will become a member of the board of county commissioners on January 1. The commissioners accepted his resignation and appointed Frank Mclntosh of Union township to the place.

PRACTICE TO BE CONTINUED Basket Ball teams to Halt But Short Time for the Christmas Vacation INDIANA THE CENTER Os Stage for Entire Country — Four Conference Games in Indiana Indianapolis. Dec. 27. — With the Christmas holiday vacation here the college basket ball teams of Indiana are not halting their practice but are continuing to work for the important games that are scheduled to be played in January. Some of the college teams have vacation barn storming trips planned in which they will clash with athletic clubs and Y. M. C. A. quintets. Other college coaches wfll permit the athletes only a short visit home and will have them back in col lege gymnasium for a series of hard work-outs during the vacation days when no thought will be given to studies and all time devoted to basket ball. The state of Indiana holds the center of the basket ball stage in the country for the wonderful organization of 534 high schools, which makes possible the greatest high school basbet ball tournament in the country has developed material from which championship college teams are built. Wingate and Crawfordsville high schools in tournaments in Chicago and Cincinnati last year clearly demonstrated ■ tha the class of basketball played in j the high schools of the Indiana prep

schools was far superior to that played in other states. It is no wonder that all Big Ten conference colleges fear Indiana and Purdue on the basketball floor. Purdue had a strong team last year being considered second in the conference. Indiana has this year a team the equal of which has never been at the Bloomington school. Four conference college games are on the list for Indiana during January. Indiana meets Ohio State at Columbus on January 8, and Northwestern plays at Bloomington January 17. The next game will be with Minnesota at Minneapolis January 21. Indiana and Purdue meet in Lafayette January 28. Purdue plays Butler at Indianapolis January 4. Purdue then starts its conference college games January 11. meeting Northwestern at Lafayette Ohio State at Columbus January 22 and Indiana six days later. Purdue will play Micgihan at Lafayette January 31. Besides these conference games both Purdue and Indiana have games scheduled for next month with some strong non-conference teams. Early season dope indicates that Wabash and DePauw again are strong I in basketball. The Em-Roes made a por showing against both DePauw and Wabash, but Wabash had td work I in its game with the Merchants Hear ! and Light company team. These ■ games with the strong independent club fives gives the college real experience for the important college games. Coach Lowe’s Earlham team is another strong contender in the basketball championship race this season. Coach Thurber claims that he has a strong quintete at Franklin. Little, is known of the strength of Notre Dame as the Purdue and Ent-Roe, games were cancelled by Notre Dame following the death of George Gipp the famous football player. NOT WHAT HE WANTED Decatur, Dec. 21, 1920. Dear Friends: • I thought I would tell about my trip to Geneva, N. Y. 'When I went, to Geneva, N. Y., I went on Broadway street. When I got about to the station I saw I was going to meet a big woman. I stepped to one side to let the woman pass me. She asked me why I did that. I told her she looked Bo big that I was afraid she might fall on me. I asked her how much she weighed. She said she weighed 250 pounds. I told her I was glad I stepped to one side to let her pass me. She asked me if I was look- ! ing for a husband. I told her no. She then asked me if I was looking for a wife and I told her no. She then ' asked me what I was looking for and I told her I was looking for a 300,000 egg incubator to hatch out 300,000 chickens.
