These countries must get on a sound foot ing before the world returns to a healthy condition. Governor McCray has added two hundred and fifty miles to the state roods and the list includes that stretch between Fort Wayne and Auburn which caused a good many travelers to the lake regions last summer to wish that some one would take it over, fill in the holes and dress down the humps. We now have a naval treaty signed by the five great powers by which they agree to not sink any more Lusitanias and to obey certain other fixed rules of submarine and other sea warfare. The trouble is that the sge old “alls fair in war” wipes out about everything when was is on in earnest. The only way to stop sub marines attacking ships is not to have the undersea craft. The state fair grounds will be improved to the tune of a million dollars the coming summer, bonds having been ordered issued for that amount. With this a number of new buildings will be erected and other improvements added which will make the Indiana fair grounds equal to any in the country. This will also provide work for a large number and will help the state in that way as well as adding to the big fair grounds. The agricultural “bloc” in the senate is causing republican leaders not a little worry and especially since the death of Mr. Penrose who held controll. McCumber who succeeds him is an entirely different individual, comes from the great northwest and the whole affair has become so serious that a council of the wise ones will be held tonight at the white house. Some how the situation must be met. Senator New begins to look like the successor to Mr. Hays as postmaster general. If he does there will probably be a real scramble for his place on the ticket as senator. A good many of News’ friends think he is wise, for he will thus be assured of three years in office while he knows that he is taking some chance* when he goes before the people next November for reelection to the senate aud attempts* to defend the record of congress the past two years. It is most gratifying to us that each day many old and new subscriptions are comirj in to this office for the Daily Democrat. We have met conditions by making a pre-war price and we are adding a valuable gift to those paying for one year to January. 1923. We would like to boost our list to 4.000 during the present year and we are sure we will be well on the way to that figure by the end of the month. Do it now and tell your friends about our offer. Mr. Mellon is no doubt exactly right in his statement that if the surtax had been made forty per cent on earnings of more than 3200,000 it would have meant a saving of thirty million dollars to about one tlamsaud men. but the thing that most people! feel Is that those who make such, tremendous money each year ought |

p to pay more than those who make but little more than a living. If gliese rich had been saved the millions, the I. common people would sure have had r to make It up. Why should the sec- '■ ret ary feel so terrible about it? r The first edition of the International Auctioneer under the new owner- • chip was published today and the • paper will be issued regularly hereg after on the first of tire month. It is 0 a twVnty-four page magazine. pub--5 Jished in the interest of the auction--0 eers of the country and is the only JI paper of that kind in the world. It is I. owned by Decatur men and a number of local people are assisting in building ft intb a real magazine with J hopes that it will within a short I time attract sufficient attention to . carry a splendid circulation. Members of the senate are using a 1 1 lot of energy in the Newberry case land it has reached the stage of being »I • - I a real joke. Newberry used a couple * of hundred thousand dollars to secure 1 his election. He was indicted and convicted but the supreme court held the law bad. Now the senate is talk- > ing it over and will eventually agree that he has been punished enough t and seat him. In the meantime he is drawing his salary and the senators are thus avoiding action on any thing real that will help this counI try get on its feet, industrially. 1 Fred VanNuys retired from the office of federal district attorney for ' Indiana and was succeeded by Homer | 1 Elliott of Martinsville who was ap-1 I pointed in an open session of the senate yesterday. Mr. VanNuys has, made a brilliant record and has 1 made himself stronger than ever 1 with the people of the state. Able, ' vigorous, keen, industrious and with a wonderful personality he is a recog- ’ nized leader of the fighting democracy of this state and we predict for him other and even greater honors. Ho is now being urged to became a candidate for United States senator and if he does he will have the support not only of the party men but of thousands of the best citizens of every political faith. Mr. and Mrs. W. Guy Brown and ! j daughter, were in Fort Wayne Friday I afternoon. J « BANK STATEMENT JOHN G. HOFFMAN, President. JEFF KLOPFENSTEIN, Vice President. ; C. R. SMITH. Cashier.

BICEATERSGET KIDNEY TROUBLE Take a Glass of Saifs Before Breakfast If Your Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers You. The American men and women must guard constantly against Kidney trouble, because we eat too much and all our food Is rich. Our blood is filled wtib uric agid which the kidneys strive to filter out, they weaken from overwork, become sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and a general decline in health. When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; it you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach or you have rheumatism when the weather is bad. get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of graps and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutralise the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder disorders. i Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in- ' jure, makes a delightful effervescent : lithia-water beverage, and belongs in ( every home, because nobody can make a mistake by having a good kidney flushing any time.

is a lot of money by Mrs. Mary Preston Cookinl Expert and Food Analyst • You know, (be more ' ”™ k k in ’’ Bakin* Powder the more enthusiastic 1 get about it. Just listen to this: There is one ingredient in Heekirfs of which 65 carloads arc bought every year. The Hcekin Company could buy this ingredient for tu o thousand dollars a carload less if tlwy were willing to sacrifice the quality of Heektn s only a trifle. But they won’t do it . : ■ No wonder a better baking powder cannot be made. Yet Hcekin’s costs less than any other that even approaches it in quality. I his is because The Heckin Company for years have been satisfied with a small profit themselves. My assistants and I have been using Heekin Baking Powder for some time. And we have never had one failure with it. I know that any woman can get successful baking results with Heekin’s. There is no stronger or purer baking powder made. And Heekin’s retains its strength to the last spoonful. No foreign ingredients are added to create an unnatural effervescence or give a false impression of quality. Heekin s is all baking powder and nothing else. No wonder it is the favorite with thousands of women. , Your baking is guaranteed when you use Heekin's. For if anything you bake docs not turn out to your entire satisfaction the price of the full can of baking powder, and the price of the ingredients in whatever you bake will be returned to you. Simply list the prices and send with your name and address to The Heekin Company, Cincinnati, Ohio.
