AND FAUVER IS RIGHT. 1 Middletown, Conn., Jan. 27.—Basketball is being killed by calling too many fouls in theo pinion of Dr. Edgar Fauver, head of the Weslyean 1 University athletic department and president of the Society of Physical ’ Directors in Colleges. In order to put s new life into basketball, he says there should be a new scoring system which would make it impossible for a team to win on points scored on fouls alone. He would increase the score for a goal from the floor to three points that for a personal foul to two points and allow one pint fr goal from technical fouls. CREAM CLEARS A STUFFED-UP HEAD ' Instantly Opens Every Air Passage—Clears Throat If your nostrils are clogged and your head is stuffed because of nasty catarrh or a cold, apply a little pure, antiseptic cream into your nostrils. It penetrates through every air passage, soothing and healing swollen, inflamed membranes and you get instant relief. Try this. Get a small bottle of Ely’s Cream Balm at any drug store.

The Shop That Gives Your Dollar a Long Ride. STEPLER BROS. Under Boston Store WOMAN'S COMPLEX LIFE Woman's complex life with its multitudinous calls is given as the reason for many a nervous breakdown. Home work, social obligations, dressmaking and the care of the children keep the 20th century woman in a whirlwind of activity until headaches develop, back ache, nervousness and oftentimes more serious ills which uro peculiar to her sex alone. Such women should not despair, but be guided by the letters so often published in this paper from women who have been in just such conditions, but who have been restored to health by Lydia E. linkham’s Vegetable Compound. This is a root and herb medicine that contains no drugs and can bo taken in safety by any woman. ** + * + + + + + + ** + ** * AUCTION SCHOOL NEWS * + •> + * + •!■* + ♦ + + *** + Reported for the Democrat by Stucent Canada of Greenville, Ohio. (Reported by Mr. Murdock) The class of the Reppert Auction Schools joins, one and all. in thanking Colonel Reppert and associate members of the faculty for the interest they have had in each and every one. The the people of Decatur as a whole, we extend to you our sincere thanks for the courtesies and hospitality shown us during our short stay in your most welcome city. More especially to every home in which students roomed, and made their homes. Cottingham tells the boys what fine work the Decatur barber college does. He also tells Colonel Hull that he knows Gillie and his whereabouts because he sleeps with him. For the benefit of Colonel Hull, the interurban traffic manager wishes to announce they have added another stop just opposite the beet sugar sac tory. Colonel Turbin tells the members oi the faculty that ring work is unknown in Pennsylvania, and he cannot get used to crying bids with ring workers The Rev. Turbin has agreed to attend a big crap game to be given and espec ially arrangi-d by Colonel Boilings worth in order that he may become better able to control his mind while numbers are being rapidly called. Hol lingsworth also guarantees he will either win or loose. Turbin wondere how this is. Colonel Matheney, of Ml. Sterling Ohio, known as the greatest thirty-fool dasher of his community, sold himself on the block for 22 cents today. Colonel Fletcher has two records he uses while calling the bid —high geai and low gear. Colonels Gillie and Springer con dinted a Spotted Poland China hog sale at Monroeville, Ind., on Thursday. Did they get the buck? Oh, boy! Hollingsworth and Hackman no doubt will join hands in the auction profession as all indications point toward them both remaining in Decatur, as they have often related to the class story of two of the most wonderful girls In the world. Hollingsworth, having seen the world from both sides, and having met the first girl he can give a 100 per cent. Oh, boy! How can women win one's affections so quickly. The writer knows personally that this has been done. Hollingsworth closes the auction school by selling cow, “Bell Beiinett, 9441," for the sum of $20,100, and "the bull” he gave with her. The students, as a body, upon their departure, feel that they will bo marked mon in their respective communities, to do tho conscientious work of Fred Reppert and his selected faculty. Hurrah for that high-powered sales manager, Mr. .lake Southard..

THE PEOPLE'S VOICE Daily Democrat: 1 am very much of the same idea us "J. D- N„" who wrote in your paper of the high taxes. I feel that something will have to bo done, lor with tho diminishing prices, the farmer cannot pay such high taxes, nor can wo pay I the exorbitant prices some are asking I for goods. Wo sell our wool at from 15c to 20c and buy it back at $5.00 and $6.00 per pound. The other day I called a store and asked the price of a ceiling grate and was asked $12.50; then 1 called another Decatur store and bought it for $4.50.. Now, people, what do you call that" profiteering or getting easy money? Farmers, we must be economical. In the district schools of some counties it seems to be a habit of throwing away a good school house, already paid for and build new ones at high cost. Such things caiMe delinquent taxes and bankruptcy. I wish some one would tell me how the farmer can pay taxes on S2OO and S3OO land to raise 28c to 50c corn and 30c oats. Suroly our land ( is appraised too high. The farmer to- , day is at the most critical period of , history and something will have to be , done or thousands more will break up. [• He isn't living or doing business today . on present profits but on money earned . in the past and that Is getting pretty , scarce. A. RAY, I R. R. No. 10, Decatur. •■ - • . W. E. Porter of the Porter and t Beavers Sales Room made a business ( trip to Bluffton this afternoon.
