Jlre you too old to break a habit 9 by Mrs. Mary Preston Cooking Expert and Food Analyst i The sales-manager of The Heekin Company and I are really an fully good friends, but we do argue frightfully. The other day we were talking about habit. The saies-manager said that women are slaves of habit where baking powder is concerned. He said that all women used either the brands their mothers used, or the brands they first tried themselves. And he said they were afraid to change. Phen he said, “After any woman reaches a certain age, she’s so set in her habits, that she won’t change any of them.” Now, I’m not terribly young, but I certainly consider myself progressive. I’ll leave it to you—are you too old to try a superior baking powder that saves you money? Are you too old to change to a baking powder that is guaranteed to make your baking successful ? The baking powder I mean is Heekin’s. I know that a better baking powder cannot be made. I have baked with it, and so have my assistants. We have never had one failure where Heekin s was used. I have analyzed it—no purer baking powder can be made. (There are no foreign ingredients added to Heekin’s to create an unnatural effervescence or to give a false impression of quality.) And Heekin’s costs much less than any other that even approaches it in quality. As I told the sales-manager, if we simply tell all women how wonderful Heekin’s is—that any woman will get excellent results with it; that it is the favorite with thousands of women—then every woman will be eager to try it. And, just read this guarantee: If you bake anything—using Heekin’s—that doesn’t turn out to your entire satisfaction, list the ingredients in whatever you bake, their prices, and the price of the baking powder, and the total amount will be sent you by The Heekin Company, Cincinnati, Ohio. There is no red tape to this offer. Simply send the list and your name and address. Buy a can today and try it. You’H like Heekin’s. MOI . - -7

munity and the entire nation will enjoy a period of prosperity this fall. The senate by a vote of 47 to 29 put the soldier's bonus bill on the junk pile yesterday. Senators Watson and New both voted with th* administration in recommitting the bill to the committee. The ex-sol-diers are now wondering if the allied war debt will be canceled. There Is a possibility of the administration canceling the allied war debt of eleven billion dollars, an inconceivable sum. At the same time President Harding and Secretary Mellon say the country Is nearly • broke” and that a bonus cannot be paid to the soldiers. Why not collect this war debt and pay the soldiers with it. A splendid program will be given ; Sunday afternoon and evening at the Chautauqua, the opening day of the big five day entertainment, The program is most fitting for Sunday and as church services will not be held |in the afternoon or evening, both I young and old will have an oppori tunity to attend. A season ticket ! that will admit you to both afternoon and evening entertainments i costs but two dollars, plus war tax for only about twenty cents for each program. There are no regulations regarding \ the parking of automobiles on Sec-

ond street or on any other street in Decatur for that matter. The proposition of marking the streets so that I all automobiles would be parked at un angle of about forty-five degrees has been discussed but no action taken by the council. At a recent meeting of the council, the impression was given out that the former | ordinance regulating parking on Second street would not be reinstated unless those men who signed the petition for its appeal presented a new petition for its adoption again and from the expressions made the merchants do not favor such an ordinance. You can park your automobile in Decatur where you please, except in front of a fire hydrant and so you do not obstruct traffic. This talk that you cannot remain on Second street longer than a half hour is the work of enemies. Come to Decatur and see. The state highway commission announces that it will receive proposals for the purchase of seventy-four steel bodies for the trucks now being operated by the engineers in the maintenance department at a cost estimated at $20.000 00. The commission has on hands 373 auto trucks and the expense of keeping them in repairs is nearly a quarter of a million dollars. With all these trucks on hand and men to run them it’s funny that the commission does not send someone to Decatur to look after the approaches to the Smith bridge, which bridge and the road that passes over it is under the control of the board. It’s proof that these commissions do work slow but in the meantime a serious accident may happen at the bridge which will cause Director Lyons to sit up and take notice.

SEEK NEW HOMES Sixty Thousand Mennonites Leaving U. S. and Canada for Paraguay SONS ARE EXEMPTED From Military Service - Get Eight Million Acres of Land (By James I- Miller, United W’ •staff correspondent I Buenos Aires, July 16-(Speclal to Daily Democrat)—The greatest n ligious exodus since the children o Israel fled from Egypt Is just getting under way today. Sixty thousand Mennonites. members of a religious sect which doesn t believe in war are fleeing to Paraguay from the United States and Canada. They propose to establish their own nation within Paraguay, and manufacture and sell goodUnited States capitol is said to back them. Members of this sect had trouble luring the war with Germany when they objected to going into the Amer lean and Canadian armies. So they've decided to shake the dust ot those countries off their feet and move to Paraguay. Fred Engan. a Minnesotan, representing the Mennonites, today obtained an option from the Paraguayan government on 8.000.000 acres. The Paraguayan government yesterday passed a law exempting sons of the Mennonites from military service Six representatives of the sect have just completed a tour cf several weeks through the territory they propose to settle on. At present it is inhabited only by Indians, and some portions of it have not been visited by whites since 1585, when ' the Spaniards crossed from Buenos Aires. The Mennonite representatives say they intend to build railroads and secure an outlet for their products through the Paraguay river. It is reported they are backed by the National City Bank of New York.
