It’s a good time to advertise the merits of the best city on the globe and everyone should get the spirit. ——t— That English woman who is coming to America with several million dollars worth of clothing and jewels, including sixty thousand dollars worth of hats, with the intention of showing Americans how to spend money might be surprised when she walks into one of the Fifth Avenue shops and begins to let loose. if they see her coming—good night. She may want to go back home. The state highway commission has notified the county auditor that a railing or other safety device will be erected at the approaches to the A. J. Smith bridge, stating that the reason this was not done before was that the engineer did not deem the situation as serious as it was thought. Those who have driven over this bridge will vouch that it is dangerous and believe that the highway commission should not lose any time in putting up the guard rails. It may avoid a serious accident next week. In view of the tuberculosis clinic to be held in this city this week, the following editorial from the Indianapolis News will be of interest to local physicians and those who are active in the fight against tuberculosis: “The recommendation by the American Medical association that wards in general hospitals be opened for the treatment of tuberculosis, approved by the United States public health service, follows a resolution calling for such action adopted by the National Tuberculosis association in 1916. The medical profession is gaining, a more, intimate knowledge of tuberculosis and the proper treatment for those who have it. It is so common and its mortality rate is so high that any movement taken to discover it in its early stages should be encouraged. In some communities. such as Indianapolis, it has been possible to provide sufficient funds for the maintenance of tuberculosis hospitals, such as the institution at Sunnyside. In others this is not possible. Where there is a general hospital, provision could be made at comparatively small expense for tuberculosis patients. As soon as a case becomes “suspicious” the time for treatment has arrived. Frequently' the word “treatment" is taken to mean going'away to some institution. breaking family ties and incurring expense that can not be borne. So the patient is doomed to almost certain death. Opening general hospitals to such people, especially when the disease is in the incipient stage, would save hundreds of lives. Under expert supervision there is no great danger of tuberculosis spreading. The treatment should not inter-

ler C with the general work of a hospital or endanger the health of other | patients. It gives the general practij tioner more chances to study the disease and render greater service to his patients.” — •- Park a Regular Garden Spot (Continued from page one) class attractions and exhibits and the choicest and finest and best horses and rarest horses,.cattle, swine, sheep, poultry and all the thousand and one things that go to mak up a record breaking fair mean anything, it means that a record breaking crowd is coming to Decatur next week and every mother’s son is going to have’the time of his life. •<—_... ....

FIRST TWO DAYS OF GENEVA CHAUTAUQUA A SUCCESS Geneva, Ind.. July 26.— (Special to Daily Democrat) —The Mutual Chautauqua opened its program Sunday evening with a splendid musical concert given by the Craven family. This remarkable family consists of father and four daughters entertained with vocal duets, quartet, violin solos, saxophone quartets, xylophone, traps, bells, drums and other musical numbers. On Monday the Venetians rendered a splendid program. These people who were born and reared in Venice gave instrumental numbers intermingled with vocal and through them ran the spirit of Italy. Judge Thomas McGregor, u native Blue Grass orator, gave the second part of the program. His lecture applied old truths to present day prob lems in a refreshing manner. There are three more days of the Chautauqua and should these days following be as good as the preceding ones, Geneva will be well pleased with the Mutual chautauqua.
