DOES ‘MAIN STREET" APPLY TO DECATUR?— Sinclair Lewis, author of "Main Street," does certainly hit the little towns of this country pretty hard in his book. The folks in New York who are supposed to hand out the lit-' ' erary standards for the rept of the country think he’s just awfully reatis-, tic. They ought to know, for the majority of them who amount to much of anything came from small towns. It all depends on what you see on Main Street. Mr. Lewis saw a lot of dullness, tedious inhabitants, vacant minds, and smugness, the horrible slime of smugness covering every-, thing. Now maybe if you're old-fashioned and remember "Tom Sawyer" and old Ed. Howe’s book. "The Story of a Country Town." you have got a slightly different impression. Per-| haps you have thought some American small towns and small cities were pretty good, anyway. What you see depends on what you're looking for. "A savorless people, gulping tasteless food and sitting afterward, coatless and thoughtless, in rockingchairs, prickly with insane decora- i tions, listening to mechanical music, saying mechanical things about the excellence of automobiles, and viewing themselves as the greatest race in the world." That's what Mr. Lewis says of the folk of Main Street. He's partly right, too. If you want to hear the truth about yourself, go to a critic, not a friend. But Mr. Lewis’ indictment, unhappily, isn’t tv ide enough. It should be extended to the whole human race. We are dull. We are stupid. We are far too self-satisfied. Let's stir our sluggish minds a little, and thereby work a blessing from the curses put upon us. • •’ There is an opportunity for the Industrial Association to be the com-1 mon meeting place for every one in Decatur and surrounding community. The rooms are comfortable, they are w your rooms and the desire is that you use them. Get the habit of going there where problems be discussed and where agreements can be reached.

Evansville, Ind.—“l am eighteen years old and have been bothered for H several months with irregular periods. Every month my back would ache and I always had a cold and felt drowsy and sleepy. I work in a milhnery shop and I went to work every day, but felt stupid and would have such cramps. I had seen Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound advertised and had heard several women talk of it, so mother got me some. This Vegetable Compound is wonderful and it helped me very much, so that during my periods I am not now sick or drowsy. 1 have told many girls about your medicine and would be glad to help anyone who is troubled with similar ailments. You may use my testimonial as you like.”—Stella Linxwiler,6Second St.,Evansville, Indiana. Some girls lead lives of luxury, while others toil for their livelihood, but all are subject to the same physical laws and suffer in proportion to their violation. When such symptoms develop .as irregularities, headaches, backaches, bearing-down sensations and ‘‘the blues, R girls should profit by Miss Linxwiler’s experience and give Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. 1 MARRIED WEDNESDAY

| Leading food experts [ i give interesting information to f every mother in America T EADING food experts of Amer- ? ica have stated why Karo is ' ji , one of the greatest of all Anergy- (( producing foods. x The reason for this is easy to explain. Karo is composed of a very large percentage of Dextrose. Dextrose is one of the most important of all food items. You could not live long without Dextrose, Most of the foods you eat —such as bread, starchy vegetables, and all i forms of sugar —have to be changed If into Dextrose before your system can use them as energy foods. So Karo may almost be said to ''A , be a predigested food. These are 1 )) q scientific facts, supported by the very highest medical and food authorities, and undoubtedly, is one reason for the tremendous nationt wide popularity of Karo.

The Right Direction 11 you are* going anywhere, the natural thing to do is to travel in the direction of the place you desire to reach. The speed you make inerly regulates the time of your arrival —if you are headed right. It is not the amount of money you save, but the fact that you have begun to save, that invests the act with a certain moral influence which, properly encouraged, becomes stronger and stronger all the time. That’s why we urge you to open an account with us and get started on the right road, where the going is easy. The Peoples Loan & Trust Co “BANK OF SERVICE”
