Decatur needs a lot of new houses this spring and with building material at pre-war prices, why not get busy? You can build much cheaper than a year ago. Will Hays, of Uuliana, Jias, accept-, ed the appointment as postmaster general and will assume ,that position, If he gives it his best attention with the service to the public in mind rather than building a political machine, he will. no-doubt make good and will have the thanks of the public. This remains to be seen. President Wilson will retire from | office tomorrow. No difference how much pleasure that fact brings to many people, the truth remains that he has done more for the common people than has any president during all the years since this government was founded. The list will now be made public and the fact acknowledged as time goes on. He has given his best and his very life for the people of the world and has, we believe, tried to be fair to every one. No more can any man do. He has served the world and his praises will be sung in the years to come, a statement of fact and not of sentiment. Even a federal judge can have his troubles. For many years at frequent intervals, Judge Landis of Chicago, has been startling the world by some decision or opinion aid thus furnishing a lot of good copy for the newspapers. Recently he became the baseball head of the nation but though he receives a princely salary he refused to leave the bench. Congressman Welty filed (impeachment charges and a committee of congressmet! with but. one dissenting vote has now declared his actions a "serious impropriety.” The public will j feel that he should quit the federal employ or his baseball job and event ually he will have to. Why not now? There is one way in which the average merchant who knows how to buy and who keeps a good store can : increase his business during the year I 1921 —by advertising. You never had such a golden opportunity to do it. [

When Nerves are 'OnEdge" one cannot possibly do his best work. For this reason many are led to discontinue their accustomed meal-time beverage and adopt InstantPostum —a wholesome drink of rich coffee-like flavor, and without any harmful effect. This delicious beverage is made instantly in the cup, at the table, by adding hot water. a. Reasoii for Postum SOLD BY GROCERS EVERYWHERE a Made by Postum.

Just now the other fellow Is not trying to push hie business. He Is marking time and "waiting for some great change in something — he doesn't just know what—to bring times back to where they were a year ago. As sure as you live that Is not going to happen but If you will buy the goods, arrange your store in an attractive way and then tell the people about it and get them in as you can by using judicious advertising you can do a business that will surprise you. That was demonstrated be- ; yond dispute in a number of stores I last Saturday. In doing this you also help the community and every one I in it. |

The death of Champ Clark, democratic leader of congress, removes from this earth a national figure who for many years has guided affairs for his party in the lower house of the great law making body. He has had a notable. carettr. When but twenty three years old he became president of a great cbllege and he made good. Hr was sent to congress from Bowling Grijen, Missouri, in 1893 and before two years of service was recognized as a leader. He was the popular candidate for the nomination for president in 1912 and but for the rule that a two-thirds vote is necessary I would have been chosen early in that memorable fight. As speaker of the house and as floor leader for many years he has proven a wise and courageous public man. His friends are numbered by the many thousand and all who knew him intimately admired him and gave him credit for great ability. He would have retired from office tomorrow and his death at this time, just at the close of his long years of service is in accord with his desire to conclude his life in the congressional harness.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS I All members of the Knights of Pythias lodge who can possibly do so are requested to attend the meeting this evening. The business that will be transacted the next few weeks will be of vast importance to the lodge in the future. It is your duty to attend. Be there at 7:30 o'clock. J. H. STEWART, C. C. CHANGE IN BANK OFFICIALS At the meeting of the board so directors of the Old Adams County bank, last evening the resignation of Mr. Burton Niblick, as assistant cashier was accepted with many regrets of the board. Mr. Niblick has been with the bank for a number of years and has been most efficient. Recent , eye trouble which has developed to a I serious degree made it necessary for him to leave the work. Mr. Albert Scheiraan who has acted as a bookkeeper at the bank tor several years ■ and who is well qualified for the position was elected assistant cashier |to succeed Mr. Niblick | Although the home of the canary, the Canary Islands derives their name from the large dogs rather than from their birds.

Dnm« The **•* dou ole-service '-'-4 toothpaste, /L. keeps teeth clean AND GUMS HEALTHY. Keeping the gums healthy nnd the mouth sweet ia very important to health: more teeth are lost through the loosening of the tiwue thut hold» th, teeth in place than from decay. Dental science to-day demands that a tooth paste must keep the gum s healthy as well as clean the teeth. Senreco was formulated to meet this requirement. Hundreds of dentists are prescribing and using Senreco because they have found that it does measure up to that standard. SENRECO IS A WONDERFUL CLEANSER. In addition to its remedial propertie* Senreco is a wonderful cleanser; acts directly on the mucin film, the basi* of tartar: leaves the mouth cool and clean-feeling. As some one has expressed it—Senreco gives one a new idea on mouth cleanliness. Get a tube to-day at your druggists or toilet counter—enjoy the healthy, cleanly feeling its use gives your mouth and gums. Notice how brilliantly white Senreco makes your teeth. It performs this two-fold service for you and yet costs no more than the ordinary, old 'ashioned tooth paste that simply cleans the teeth and leaves a pleasant taste—
