DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4,1922.

HOPE ALIKE FOR FAT AND LEAN London, Jan. 2. —Much excitement has been aroused here over the news from Scbleichegrieben, Germany, that Prussian farmers have devised away of extracting fat from live pigs, so as to have the pig and eat it too. Papers printed photographs showing pigs “before and after." When the pig had been properly fattened, It was said, it was taken to a veterinarian who administered a local anaesthetic removed a section of fat, sewed up he porker, tied on a large bandage and sent it homo for more fattening. Interviews with prominent English raisers of*plgs revealed that this method had not yet been tried in England and probably would not because of its roughness of the pig. Considerable speculation was aroused however, some persons thinknig that the operation might be a useful adjunct to the money-gland operation. Bay windows, it was pointed out, could be removed thus completing the renovation. Beauty specialists were also asked their advice as to whether such an idea might be used to help the fashions in women's shapes, introducing real fat instead of bustles, or having the fat removed instead of prohibiting malted milks and potatoes. A skeptic has, however, given these revolutionary ideas a set hack. He observed that the name of the German village mentioned means in English. “Sneaking fat." _• Let me take your order for "Comer Raincoats, or All-Weather Coats.” For men, women and children.

IF KIDNEYS ACT BAD TAKE SALTS Says Backache Is a sign you have been eating too much meat, which forms uric acid. When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eat Ing too much meat, says a well known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidney* and they become sort of paralyzed and cloggy. When your kidneys gel sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowelsremoving all the body's urinous waste else you have backache, sick head ache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather i K bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full o' sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged tc seek relief two or tpree times durin* the night. Either consult a good, reliable phy sician at once or get from your phar macist about four ounces of Jad Salt* take a tablespoonful in a glass o' water before breakfast for a few clays and your kidneys will then act fine This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia, and has been usee’ for generations to Clean and stimu late sluggish kidneys, also to neutra Ilze acids in the urine so it no long er irritates, thus ending bladdei weakness. Jad Salts is a life saver for regulai meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot injure and makes a delightful, effec vescent lithia-water drink. FARMERS GET 2 CENTS AN HOUR FOR THEIR WORK IN CORNFIELDS Director Christie of Purdue Experi nient Station Gives Cost of Production Figures. Indiana farmers received 2.05 cents an hour for the own labor and 1.02 cents an hour for their horse labor for the time they spent in the cornfield last summer, based on the average price of corn, 36 cents, November 1 according to a statement given out to clay by Director G. I. Christie of the Agricultural Experiment Station at Purdue University, on the cost of production of corn. These figures are It sharp contrast to those involved now in controversy in the packing industry, railroads, mines and certain oth er industries. According to the November crop estimates, the average corn yield in Indiana this year was 36 bushels to the acre, and the averagep rice Nov Ist was 36 cents. Approved methods of farm cost accounting on corn growing in Indiana, show that the average cost per acre of corn this year, ex elusive of man and horse labor,’was $11.58. This includes rental use of ma chinery, seed and other overhead expenses. Official records in seven cornbelt states show an average of 42.2 hours of man labor and 50.6 hours hours of horse labor necessary to pro duce an acre of corn, and that man labor cost twice as much as horse labor. Therefore, when the $1.38 left to pay for labor is divided between man and horse labor according to amounts used and relative cost per hour, man labor is paid at the rate of 2.05 cents per hour and horse laboi 1.02 cents per hour, or only about three cents per hour for both man and horse labor. “These figures necessarily are based on the average for the state. Each farmer will need to take the basis for determining costs in order to calculate the cost of production on his own farm,” said Director Christie. "For example, the value of the land in this analysis was placed at $125 per acre and much corn land in Indiana is valued at S2OO or more per acre. The rate of taxes as determined from ten counties was placed at $1.41 per SIOO valuation. These figures vary widely in different counties, in some coming much higher. “It is true, too, that the average yield of corn was placed at 36 bushels per acre, while many farms get an average of 50, 60, 70 and sometimes higher yields. It also is noted that the corn was valued at 26 cents a bushel, while in many parts of the corn belt it was selling December 1 at 27 cents and in some of the western states as low as 18 and 20 cents. Cost of harvesting alrger yields also must be allowed.” “It is evident that the farmer cannot continue to operate on this basis, as he gets practically nothing for rowing Indiana’s most important crop. A better price for corn would help greatly at this time.” VISITS DECATUR SCHOOLS A. E. Martin, of Goshen, representing the McMillen Book company of Chicago, visited the Decatur schools today, talking to the senior class In the high school, on the subject, "Life in Literature,’’ and to the grammar grade in the central building, on "What to Read." Both talks were very interesting and instructive, and were must enjoyed by the student body.

*■♦♦♦ + ♦ + ♦♦♦♦♦♦ + * ► AUCTION SCHOOL NEWS ♦ Reported for tho Democrat by Stucent Canada of Greenville, Ohio. Students for the Reppert auction s-hool began to arrive tiiree to four ’nyr prior to the opening of the school and have continued to pour r- up until the last making close to r.Py students In all in the class School was opened Monday, Jamii’V 2 by Manager Sellemeyer, who eave way to Colonel Reppert who ■»ave a very interesting talk to the. ?lass, in which he talked on the pur pore of the school and what they wished to accomplish, outlined the work in general, introduced what instructors there were present, and above all laid down the rules and by-laws to the class. Instructors who were present were Colonel Perdue, Dr. Hill and Colonel Tartin, each one giving the class a very interesting talk in connection with the course outlined. Colonel Gartin in the afternoon -ave the class the fives to one hundred and the two and a half to fifty, ifter which he had the class give the school yell: “Two and a half; now five. Seven and a half, now ten; Repoert school —Sold.” Colonel Reppert then held a geticquainted period or get-together •neeting in which every student was requested to come before the class, '.ell where he was from, his name and talk to the class as he desired. You should of been there. Talk cbout the buck-fever; they all had it. Some of them actually forgot they had a name or where they were from while others seemed to "have so many hands they couldn’t find any place to out them, some even had such a lump in their throats they thought ‘heir ties were trying to get up in ’.heir faces. Monday night all Decatur was aware of the fact that school had opened, but more especially the “Eats" Restaurant. If you think the students can’t give the school yell isk “Eats” restaurant. Tuesday, January 3rd, school open’d proper. The lecture and physical training by Dr. Hill enabled the boys to find a few new muscles they lidn’t know they possessed. Colonel Hull arrived January 3rd and gave the class an interesting talk Colonel Perdue and Colonel Gartin ?ave the class the first lectures. Ask Alva Ellis how to cry a sale without being able to talk. Harold Gillie is home-sick and wants to get home early Saturday evening. ~ Mr. Stewart, connected with the Decatur Daily Democrat, paid the school a visit and gave the students an interesting talk, welcoming them to Decatur. Mr. Stewart says Reppert wont allow his picture to be run in the paper I guess he doesn’t want his reputation spoiled. Col. J. D. Gorrell and Col. Delta Rub, who are attending the school, leave Thursday, January 5, for Antwerp, Ohio, where they are to cry the hog sale for Zuber, Smith & Gorrell. Luck to you boys. Some of the boys are suffering with severe colds, Alva Ellis not being able to talk at present. But, say when he can talk he makes some noise. The night of January 3rd students held the first auction sale in “Eats” restaurant being in the form of a pie auction. The Old Bird is sure the question box. The class of 1922 wants to know how the big Bird (E. Ellie) is going to cry a sale without talking. He will possibly be able to sell caskets as it will be unnecessary to speak to his customers. To the citizens of Decatur. If you have any broken pitchers bring same to Reppert’s auction school as we have with us, one, Jerome Sherman, from Goshen, Indiana, who will guarantee you the price of $9.25, irrespective of condition. If Colonel Bierdan masters articulation he will undoubtedly surpass Colonel Sherman on the block. Ask the Old Bird he knows. Tony Heckman has gained so much enthusiasm and become so interested that he now keeps his room mate awake all night crying sales in his sleep. At one time he kicked him out of bed instructing him to hold this rope while I sell this cow. — > TO BUILD HUNDRED MILES.
