DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, MONDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1921

SHE HAO TO FIGHT TOGETHERBBEATH For Years This Indianapolis Woman Didn’t Enjoy a Single Meal. "Tanlac is worth morn than its weight in gold to me, for it has made me a well and happy woman,” said Mrs. W. M. Collins, 1220 East Georgia St., Indianapolis, Ind. "At the time I begun taking it I hadn't enjoyed a meal for years, for everything 1 ate disagreed with mo. I hud awful dizzy speilg at times too, and also such attacks of smothering that I would have to fight to get my breath. "In addition to the good I received from Tanlac I want to say a good word for the Tanlac Vegetable Pills, which have entirely overcome the old habit of constipation from which I suffered a great deal.” Tanlac is sold in Decatur by Smith, Yager & Falk's and by leading druggists everywhere. ■ • CHRISTMAS MESSAGE Office of the Postmaster General. Washington, Nov. 22, 1921 To the Boys and Girls of the United States. Christmas is almost here. Your great post office department has a big job ahead and needs your help. Think what it means to be Santa Claus to our 100,000,000 people and to deliver Christmas parcels to every family in this great country within tlte short space of a few days and without disappointment. It can be done, and we’re going to do it if w r e may have your help. I want to enlist the active assistance of every boy and girl in the schools of our country in getting parcels mailed THIS WEEK to relieve the rush that comes directly before Christmas. Will you go home today and take this message to your parents and friends: "Our postmaster has asked us to mail our Christmas parcels THIS WEEK, for, unless we do, Uncle Sam’s load may be so heavy the last few days before Christmas that he won't be able to deliver all the presents by Christmas eve.” The parcels must be well wrapped and tied and addressed plainly in order that they may arrive in good condition with their Christmasy appearance unspoiled. You can put on your packages, ‘‘Do not open until Christmas.” And, there must be a number on your house and a mail receptacle, for, if there isn't, Santa Claus's messenger, your letter carrier, may not be able to find the house where the present belongs. There are some other things, too, in which you can all assist in improving the mail service and in saving our great government millions of dollars a year that is now wasted because of our carelessness —yours and mine. Every day that you drop a letter in the mail box 40.000.000 other letters are already pushing and jamming through the postal machinery. One letter a day for each family of five persons in the United States is given to Uncle Sam to deliver. When you send a parcel to the post office for mailing any day there are al. ut 8.000,000 other parcels ahead of vours lassing through the postal hopper. This is in ordinary days; at Christmas time it is multiplied many times. One family in about every ten puts a badly undressed letter in the mail every day. This mixes up over 2,000,000 half addressed letters with the 20,000,000 fully addressed letters. That means that the fully addressed letters must wait on the slow moving poorly addressed letters just like the larger bovs and girls are delayed by a bunch of "bad kids” tagging along. You boys and girls can help the Postal Service and save your father some money, because he has to help pay the cost of searching addresses on letters and parcels sent out by this one careless and. thoughjtless family in every ten. First find out if your family is the careless one, then bear in mind that your letters must be handled by skilled mail distributors standing in post offices and on swaying postal cars of a mile-a-minute mail trains, often under poor light. The address on every letter, card or package must be correct, complete and legible, including the house number and name of street, and the •From" address should be in the upper left-hand corner so that the mail will be returned to you in case it is not delivered. Do not abbreviate names of states, because so many look alike when abbreviated. Put the proper amount of postage on your letters and wrap the parcels carefully. Avoid fancy writing, which causes ‘postoffice clerks and letter carriers to stop and study, and thus lose time. Make the address plain and easily read, and always use pen and ink or typewriter and light colored envelopes, so as to save the eyes of the postoffice clerks. Do not use envelopes of unusual size. The little ones that are so frequently used for cards and notes at Christmas and other holiday times cause an untold amount of trouble and labor, as they will not fit our canceling machines and must therefore be canceled by hand. Because of their size and tnedency to slip out of a package, these small envelopes are more likely to be overlooked or lost. Mail vour letters and packages early in’ the day, because this avoids overloading and delaying mail at the end of the day. Your local postmaster and your teachers will tell you more about the postal service. Do these things, and you will win the grateful appreciation of the people in your postofflee and especially of Your Postmaster General, WILL H. HAYS. P. S.—Don’t forget to mail Christmas packages THIS WEEK.

OBITUARY. Raymond Ordell, son of William L. and Minnie V. Keller, was born in Adams county, near Monroe, Ind., on the 7th day of June, 1900. He grew to manhood in Monroe and surrounding community, taking advantage of the privilege offered by the state for everyone to secure an education, graduating from our high school in the spring of 1918. In September of the same year he enlisted in the service of his country and was assigned to Co. 3, Section A of the Students Army Training corps at Purdue university at Lafayette, Indiana . He was converted and was baptized and joined the Methodist Episcopal church at Monroe, Ind., about ten years ago at the age of eleven years and was a member of the same at the time of his death. Though he had not been active in the Christian life for several years. He said on his death bed, if I ever get out of here I will certainly look after my spiritual interests better. He passed away at the home of his parents in Monreo, Ind., November 30, 1921; age 21 years, 5 months and 23 days. He suffered intense agony during his last illness, which lasted for several weeks, but he endured it bravely, never complaining of his lot. Raymond was of quiet disposition; he was kind and obliging in all of his business relations with men. He on several times in his life served other peoples interest by sacrificing his own. He leaves to mourn his grief-stricken parents, his grandfather, and three brothers and many more distant relatives, and a large circle of friends. The funeral service was conducted from the Methodist church, Friday at 2 p. m. by Rev. S. I. Ziechlel. Interment in the Ray cemetery. Silently, surely the shadows come creeping o’er our hearts at that solemn hour. Could we surrender the gem of our keeping our hearts dearest idol to deaths cruel power? Must he go in the freshness of beauty and bloom borne away on the mystical voyage alone, alone? Ah, never! Our Savior hath said, I will go with thee the dark valley there at the sweep of the billows, O be not afraid, for the city of Holiness, His just in view. We will trust thee our darling to His Mercy alone, ’til we greet thee again in the Heavenly Home. _ B GOOD SHOW COMING TO CRYSTAL THEATRE The long-awaited Rex Ingram production of "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” is coming to the Crystal Wednesday and Thursday, December 14 and 15. This is the picture that cost the Metro $1,000,000 and from all accounts the $1,000,000 was well spent as critics agree that all other efforts at production on a grand scale have been surpassed and record runs have been made in New York, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, Sau Francisco, Detroit and other cities where the picture has been previously shown. Fifty principals and 12,500 extras were engaged in the filming of the photo-drama and entire French village and an elaborate chateau were erected to be destroyed under the artillery bombardment of the German invaders and more than 125 tons of steel, masonry, lumber and futurniture were used to create the background of just this one set in this remarkable picture. The appeal of the story itself has been proved through the success of the novel by Vicente Blasco Ibanez upon which the photodrama is founded. Its sale throughout the world runs into millions but millions more will probably have it revealed to them the first time through the medium of screen production. This production is said to have followed faithfully the epic tale of human passion against the background of the Great War as related by Ibanez. The cast includes Rudolph Valentino, Alice Terry, Pomeroy Cannon,

Joseph Swickard, Brinsley Shaw, Alan Hale, Bridgetta Clark, Mabie Vanßuren, Broadwitch Turner, Nigel de Bruller, John Sanpolls, Mark Fenton, Virginia Warwick, Derek Ghent, Stuart Holmes. Jean Hersolt. Henry Klans. Edward Connelly, Georgia Woodthrope, Kathleen Key, Jacques d’Auray, Curt Rhuefeldt, Mlle, Doiores, Isabel Keith, Harry Northrup, Noble Johnson. Minnehaha, "Bull” Montana, and last but not least that corking good actor, Wallace Beery. GENEVA NEWS Mrs. E. B. Gauker and little daughter, Mildred, returned to their home here Friday afternoon, after spending several days' in Indianapolis, visiting the former’s mother, Mrs. DeWitt, who recently underwent an operation. Mrs. Sophia Martin, age 61, a resident of New Corydon, died Thursday evening about 5 o’clock. She had been ill for several months with uremic poisoning and for some time had been in a very serious condition. She is a sister of Mrs. Katie Muth of this city. The funeral service will be held Sunday morning at 10 o’clock at the Lutheran church in New' Corydon. The Misses Ruth Linton, Addie Hoskinson, Katie Fravel, and several other teachers from this place attended the Institute at Decatur Saturday. Glee, John, George, Benjamin; Amos and Grace Wall, returned Friday from Fort Wayne, where they had spent several days’ visiting with William Foster and family. Harold Fields, who is attending business college at Fort Wayne, is spending the week-end with his mother, Mrs. Charley Fields. Russell Miller of Portland was in Geneva Friday night, giving violin lessons. Miss Gretchen Wells went to Portland Saturday morning to take her violin lessons. The Geneva varsity basketball team went to Berne Friday night where they met the Hartfords township team in a fast and interesting contest. At the end of the first half their opponents had about a two to one lead on the locals but at the beginning of the last half the latter got started and for a few minutes completely outplayed Hartford, coming up even and then going ahead of them at the 18 point mark. However, Geneva soon “got winded” because of lack of practice and could not keep up the fast work. The locals had enough chances at the basket to have won the game, but for some reason the ball would almost go in and then decided not to. The final score Was 26 to 21 in favor of Hartford. Mr. Heiby, the bridge contractor, had one wheel on his machine broken

What’s Your Time Worth When you go to buy a pair of boots, a can of peas or a kitchen cabinet, do you know exactly what you want—or do you “shop around” and take pot luck? You can save many an hour’s time —and many a good hard dollar—by knowing beforehand what you want, where to get it, and approximately how much it will cost. You can always know this much before you enter a store. If it’s clothing, you know how well it should wear and what the style should be. If it’s a musical instrument, you know what to expect in tone and workmanship. If it’s a carpet sweeper, you know what kind of service it should give. Merchants with established reputations for honesty are the best with whom to deal. Merchandise with established reputation is the best to buy. The only way to be sure of the goods you buy is to read the advertisements in this paper regularly. As a practice it’s far better than rummaging around. It saves time. It saves money.

The accident occurred when he drove onto the brick street from the east and ran into some leaves, causing his car to skid, whirl around and run over the walk before he could stop it. No one was hurt ami the car was not otherwise damaged. Miss Ruth Shoemaker spent Thursday in Muncie, taking her piano lesson. . -e — ■ FOR MANSLAUGHTER.

Men and Women of Decatur Read the Remarkable Results from Tests Made at Jeflerson Medical College, Philadelphia, of a New Tonic Food

Perhaps you are one of the thousands of men and women today who are run down, tired out and "pepless." You sleep poorly, are easily fatigued and suffer from a high nervous tension. Or are you irritable, easily annoyed by the petty details of your daily task, and approach your work in the morning with a listless and dull dread, instead of with vim and vigorous enthusiasm. Such people, who feel themselves on the verge of a nervous breakdown, attribute it to overwork. As a matter of fact this is often far from the truth. Science has proved that the human brain is so constituted that it can stand a tremendous amount of work —in fact is stimulated by it. But it must have the co-operation of a sound, well-nourished, healthy body. Nine times out of ten those who think they are suffering from overwork are really suffering from under-nourish-ment. They are not the victims of “nerves" but of Malnutrition. What is this "Malnutrition’’ we hear so much about nowadays? Not the lack of food but lack of a balanced ration, lack of the vital elements in the food we eat—the inability of our food to supply the body with those properties most essential for its growth and to sustain life. Vitamlnes —the curious growth-pro-moting, health-giving elements found chiefly in milk, yeast, leaf vegetables, eggs and the outer covering of rice, wheat and other cereals, are often eliminated from the modern diet be-

cause of scientific milling and overcooking. Until those vital elements are supplied, the body cannot attain its highest development, the system is weakened, and low vitality is the result. Now science has discovered an easy way of supplying these health-build-ing vitamlnes in the wonderful new tonic food—which was perfected by Dr. Philip B. Hawk, Professor of Physiological Chemistry at Jefferson Medical Coilege, Philadelphia, called SUSTO, which contains in a concentrated form the vitamlnes of Yeast, Rice, Eggs, Milk, with Beef Protein, Nucelin and Iron. Before SUSTO was offered to the public It was subjected to the most rigid tests by Dr. Hawk at the Medical College, one of the foremost authorities on nutrition in the country—who pronounced it an excellent nutritive tonic. SUSTO is not a medicine. It is a food balancer —it adds to the daily diet the growth-promoting, strength and life-giving elements that we are not getting in our daily food and which are as necessary as fresh air to sustain life. If you are irritable, pale and nervous, thin, worn-out and haggard, take SUSTO, this wonderfully efficient new tonic food. There is nothing like It to build up strength and energy and you will notice an improvement in weight, physical fitness and general "pep” in a surprisingly short time.
