The artificial lighting of hen houses has become permanent and popular during the last three years. Contrary to the first opinions of many people, it is not used for the puri>ose of fooling the hens. The use of lights merely endeavors to add in duplicating spring conditions whereby hens have more opportunity to consume a large amount of feed and thus have material in which to manufacture a large number of eggs. Due to the fact that lights in the evening will give the hen less time between the last evening feed and the first morning feed, the crop never gets empty and she does not suffer. Increased production will be noticed from lights within 10 to 15 days. Fall and winter eggs from pullets will be increased, but the spring laying may bo reduced. Lighting will mature pullets more quickly, may delay molting in early hatched birds and if used properly will bring hens back into laying earlier in the season, according to Prof. A. G. Philips, head of the poultry department of Purdue university. Lights should be started about November 1 and run to April 1 and turned on from 8:00 to 8:30 p. in., at which time a heavy grain ration is given. Turning on the lights and supplying grain at 4:00 o’clock in the morning may do equally as well. Chestnut Hard Coal — Car load at Decatur Iron & Metal Co., ’Phone 641. Price $17.50.

Divide Honors With Monroe. The boys and girls basket ball teams of the local high school, accompanied by a large delegation of rooters, motored to tho town of Monroe last evening where they clashed with the boys and girls teams of tho Monroe high school, the honors being evenly divided, tho local girls winning their game by a score of 24 to 13, and the Monroe boys winning by a score of 57 to 10. The game was staged in tho high school blulding. and owing to tho small floor space und other Inconvenlienees, the local teams were greatly handicapped. Thje small hall was packed to capacity early in the evening, a largo number of fans being unable to get near the door. The first game of the evening was staged between the two girls’ teams and was considerably rough, the local team, being able to withstand the grind however, and obtained a lead over the Monroe lassies early in the game which they held throughout. The game proved to be a thriller, the Monroe girls trailing close behind the locals the first half coming within one point of tieing the score at one time. In the second half the locals continued to register a basket now and then, checking their opponents to some extent, and again came through with flying colors by a score of 24 to 13. The boys’ game proved a good deal more interesting to the Monroeites, the Monroe boys handing the locals one of their worst defeats of the season. The locals appeared on the floor with a string of eleven men, the first string men starting the game for the locals, they being unable to check the speed of the Monroe team who registered ten points before the locals were able to score. The Decatur boys WORN NERVES Nervous troubles, with backache, dizzy spelis, queer pains and irregular kidneys, give reason to suspect kidney weakness and to try the remedy that has helped your neighbors. Ask your neighbor! Mrs. John Durbin, 127 S. 9th St, Decatur, says: ‘‘My kidneys were out of order and I had sharp pains through my back and I was almost helpless. I couldn’t sleep nights and was miserable all day. Headaches almost drove me frantic and I be came nervous and irritable. My feet swelled and I felt bloated all over. My kidneys caused a great deal of annoyance and were irregular in action. I used Doan's Kidney Pills from Smith, Yager & Falk's Drug Store and they helped me right along until I was free from backache and that heavy bloated feeling. My kidlit ys were regulated and I felt fine.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills —the same that Mrs. Durbin had.

then dropped the pill through the ring for several points, but failed to get very far, the Monroe team continuing their work and wero loading at the end of the first half by a score of 28 tp 9. Shortly after the start of the secund half, tho locals retired from the floor and an entirely new team was substituted. They also proved ’uneffectlve against the Monroe boys who qontinued to pile up their score, allowing the locals only one more point, forcing the locals to return home defeated, by a score of 57 to 10. Mattox of Geneva refereed. The Monroe teams will play the locals a return game in this city on February 15, and a much more interesting game is assured. Flan to attend. Lewis to Drop Headlock.
