Sl-A-WEEK CLUB Postmaster Bosse is Made Local Director of Universal Organization A MEMBERS Is Aim of the Club, and Every Man. Woman and Child is Eligible Postmaster J. W. Bosse of this city has just received his appointment as local director of Uncle Sam’s New Dollar-A-Week club, the most universal organization in the United States. Every mun, woman and child is eligible to membership. The aim is 1,000,000 members. The purpose of the Dollar-A-Week club is the creation of $52,000,000 of new capital this year. This is made possible by the new issues of treasury savings securities in denominations of $1 and $25. A million members, saving systematically, can create this new capital out of current earnings. It is to such savings that statesmen look to put the world on its feet again. “Join the Dollar-A-Week club now,” suggests Postmaster Bosse. It has members from Maine to California. Put your feeble dollars to work by buying $1 treasury savings stamps and watch them grow strong, hustling for the $25 treasury savings certificate. "For your own good and the good of your government. Uncle Sam expects to create a million members of the Dollar-A-Week club and this office strives for the distinction of quickly reporting its proportionate number of members. These stamps are on sale I together with the other government savings securities —25 cent thrift stamps, your old friend the $5 savings stamp and the SIOO treasury savings certificate. “Now don’t just say that is a gOoi idea and let it go at that but come in with your dollar today, with the deermination to buy a stamp regularly.

“Twenty of the $1 stamps and a few’ additional cents may be exchanged for the $25 certificate, which yields 4’4 per cent, interest. So you see that instead of paying dues to belong to the Dollar-A-Week club you are making money thereby, building up a reserve for future financial independence. “The new Dollar-A-Week club is a big brother to the Twenty-Five-Cent Thrift club in the schools, through which the school children are striving to add several million dollars to the nation's new capital. Thrift meters have recently been installed in the schools to create a spirit of helpful Rivalry between the boys and girls, designed respectively as “Uncle Sam’s Team” and “Columbia's Team." In the industries, or wherever there is an employer, the Dollar-A-Week club operates through the payroll deduction plan. The employer, with the sanction of the employe, puts a $1 stamp in the pay envelope in place of a dollar bill. It is the safest sayings plan in the world, for the $1 stamp is backed by the same government that is behind the dollar biil. “There is no restriction on the amount that may be saved through the Dollar-A-Week club. In some of the large industries where the plan already is well established many of the workers are saving enough for a $25-certificate a month, viduals or employers. “The $1 stamps are on sale .at the postoffice. Each w r eek the postmaster 1 will post on the bulletin board the number of members of the Dollar-A-Week club in this community. This figure will represent the total sales of $1 stamp, whether bought by indi“Let this community be the first to makek a 100 per cent, showing!” Grocery Store In New Location (Continued from page one) counters, and the cash carrier system installed, and which has delayed the moving, is of the electric motor and cable style, and the cash is carried from all parts of the big room direct to the cashier’s desk, the same as in the stores of the largest cities. The office of the firm is located on an elevation in the southeast corner of the store, and here the books and records of the grocery firm can be kept and the business transacted in the most convpnitm: manner. The delivery wagons which nave crowded Sceond street at times nuring the day will now. get their many orders for transportation over the city at the rear door, and all freight will also be delivered at the rear, doing away with all congestion at the front entrance, which will be a great convenience to the grocery as well as to the public. ‘ Decatur people are invited to call and inspect the new store, whether

you buy or not, and Messrs, Fisher & Harris are to be congratulated upon their enterprise and push. Their business is bound to grow, and we believe their success is just beginning. IT’S TOTH $lO A BOTTLE, HE SAYS Fort Wayne R. R. Man Says He Can Work Full Time In Any Kind of Weather Now "1 am drawing down full-time instead of half-time pay now, thunks to Tanlac,” said Anthony Stazak, 433 Buchanan street, Fort Wayne, locomotive oiler at the Pennsylvania railroad roundhouse where he has been employed for the past sixteen years. “I was taken down with sciatic rheumatism about two years ago and was laid up in bed for three months. After I was able to get out I had to aobble around and every time it rained 1 suffered so bad I wasn’t able to leave home. 1 tried every medicine I ever heard of but nothing did me any good, until I got Tanlac. That’s certainly a wonderful medicine. It has helped me so much, If it cost ten dollars a bottle 1 wouldn’t be without it. “While I still have touches of rheumatism I am so much improved I work all kinds of wheather and have got more life and energy that I’ve bad for many a day. I’m on the night shift at the roundhouse but that doesn’t bother me like it used to and in the morning when I get home I always do a little work around the house before turning in. “When a man has tried a lot of medicines and got no good out of them and then finds one that does the work and makes him fee) ilke a new man, of course, he’s enthusiastic and that’s just the reason I’m so strong for this Tanlac. It’s simply a worldbeater.” 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. GOITRE IS REMOVED WITHOUT OPERATION Indianapolis Woman Praises External Home Remedy Note: It would be illegal to publish these statements if they were not true The following article was copied from the Indianapolis Star: 'Mrs. !■'.

It became so I could scarcely speak above a whisper, and my work was a dead drag. I had been having such wild headaches. I was so nervous I could hardly bear my own children in the room. After using Sorbol three weeks, I feel so much better and can do all my own work. I am gaining my voice rapidly. Paper and pencil a an't tell how I feel toward your remedy. I have a friend in the next square that feels just as I do. Her goitre is scarcely noticeable now-. You are welcome to use my name any way you wish. I expect to do all I can for you in this citv. I would like to reach all who suffer like I have for the past three years. It saved me from an operation. Then Sorbol Quadruple is and witliin reach of all.

WHY IT SUCCEEDS Because It's for One Thing Only, and Decatur People Appreciate This, Nothing can be good for everything. Doing one thing well brings success. Doan's Kidney Pills are for one thing only. For weak or disordered kidneys. Ask your neighbor! Hero is Decatur evidence to prove their worth. z B. R. Farr. 148 N. 2nd St., says: “Doan's Kidney Rills have always helped me when I have had attacks of kidney complaint. My back ached considerable and I had lumbago pains over my kidneys, that made it hard for me to stoop. My kidneys didn’t act right either. Doan's Kidney Pills soon rid me of the trouble strengthening my back and ridding me of the pains and other forms of kidney complaint.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills —the same that Mr. Farr had. Foster-Milburn Go., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y.
