If the congressmen will talk it over a little with the folks at home they will never vote a tax on autos, gasoline, bank checks and the other items suggested. We believe this would be the most unpopular thing they could do but they don't seem to care much ebout what the people want the past few years. * The farmers of Adams county are holding numerous meetings just now, some for community purposes, others to discuss the tax problem and frequently to talk oyer business matters and this Is the best way in the world in which to Improve conditions. When men meet together and talk things out they usually get some place. New York papers, sizing up the dis armament conference and its work, agree that Japan got the l,eßt of England next, then the United Statci

and France, and China the least. Per haps that's why the American news papers are not shouting very loui' about the session and what was ac complished. " E I Fifteen months ago Chris Nel:,'in of Omaha landed in Chicago WflYI nineteen cents. Today he is worth a million and is still making more. An idea did it. He thought he could make Eskimo pie and lie did il, and made a big hit. Now he is busy counting his money as it comes in each day, five cents a dozen royalty. One good thing which seems likely lo result from the arms parley is the proposed reduction in the size of the army to 100,000 men. That ought to be sufficient to police the country, and in case of war an army must be built any way. Millions can lie saved if the navy and army are cut in two as is now being declared the intention and no one will cry about it. ex-

A UNION OF INTEREST TO WOMEN Healthy Housewife—Happy Home Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Has Helped Form Many

For the ailing, half-tick housewife such a union is impossible. Often times even the slightest form of housework cannot be accomplished. Yet the work must be done. Many women struggle along for years suffering from some form of female trouble that make their lives miserable and their homes far from happy. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has helped thousands of just such women regain their health and strength. Just give your thought to the following letters and remember that the women who wrote these letters knew how they felt before taking the Vegetable Compound and again afterwards. It helped them—let it help you. Had Nervous Spells Horatio, Ark. —“1 had nervous spells and awful bad feelings. My right side and my back hurt tne all ' the time and I had been going down in health for six or seven years. For three years X had not been able to do my work without help. I weighed only 95 pounds when my husband’s mother persuaded me to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Now I heartily recommend it to. all suffering women, as I have gained weight and health. I can do all my work, anything I want to do ” —Mrs. Jim Rearick, Horatio, Arkansas.

financially interastad Are you smtlilng this week? Thia is the week set apart ns National Smile Week, It’s a right spirit but It don't mean ot course you are to go around all the time with a silly grin on your face. You can look pleasant and spread optimism and use good common sense with It. Saying good things about people, rather than uasty little, mean, insinuating things is a good practice for Smile Week and every week in the year.. I. M1..? Sain Jackson. Fort Wayne lawyer, brilliant and forceful, will be the speaker at the meeting of the Jefferson club Friday evening. He will enthuse those who attend and he will tell you some plain truths about conditions and the remedies for them. The meeting will be the first one and, you should be there and help make it a good one. The dues are one dollar a year and every one should become a member. Both men and women are invited. A Vancouver man named Cotsworth has worked out a plan for a thirteen

month year, putting one named Sol in between June and July, and make each month four weeks with NewYear's day a special.. This would, he claims, prove more convenient and he believes his system will become popular and will be used universally within a year or two. Stranger things have happened and within the period of time a good many of us can re member. The problem of maintenance of pub'ic roads has grown far more complex and important in the last few /ears and its cost is a considerable tern in taxes. Most officials charged with the upkeep of highways know hat the treatment that unpaved oads receive between the present ‘tine and the arrival of the settled weather will have more to do with their condition this year than their rcatment in any other equal length of 'line. Better knowledge of road worknr and greater attention to roads in winter have not changed the fact that any road not hard surfaced will be badly damaged by heavy hauling when the roadbed is soft. Through February and March the crown of the road is almost certain to thaw again and to be beaten by long rains. At inch a time one heavy load, especially if it be hauled on a wagon with narrow tires, will do more damage ihan a score of such loads when the -,'irface was frozen or dry. There are laws prohibiting such traffic, but in many road districts and in some whole counties they are ignored. It is an inconvenience to the man who wants to haul a heavy Joad at a certain time, to be restrained from doing so, but the restraint is frequently Justified, for the sake of the same man's convenience through later

Reading, Pa.—“l was a nervous wreck and could hardly do my housework. I always had to have help or I would never have got it done. Through the advice of friends I have been taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound for my nerves and Lydia E. Pinkham’s Blood Medicine for my blood and I am feeling fine and doing my work all alone. I can recommend these medicines to any one, for they certainly helped me. I suffered for flv<- years and Lydia E. Pinkham's medicines pulled me through. ” — Mrs. Walter U. Stoyer, 1218 Mulberry St.,Reading, Pa. Recommends the Vegetable Compound • New Orleans.

GRAVEST MENAGE TO PUBLIC HEALTH Malnutrition-Cause of Majority of Ills-Direct Cause of Weak, Run-down, Nervous Conditions New Food Remedy Developed at Medical College, Philadelphia Do you know the gravest menace to the health of the nation today? Malnutrition. Scientists have proved that it is the cause of 50 per cent of our bodily ills; that children as well as adults have been starved—literally starved—not from lack of food, but from failure of the food they eat to nourish their bodies. Recognizing this condition, a noted linn of Boston chemists set to work on a formula for a tonic food that would supply the strength-creating nutritives so essential to health and vigor. SUSTO Nutritive Tonic Tablets, which contain, in a concentrated form, the vitamines of milk, eggs, rice, beef, protein, nuclein and iron—was the result. Before SUSTO was placed on the market, however, a Professor ot Phlsiological Chemistry at one of America's greatest Medical Colleges was employed to ascertain its worth, and practical tests were made upon a number of patients of all ages and various states of health. The results were marvelous. His report shows that under-weight children, as well as adults, increased their weight to normal; and strength, energy, and health replaced weakness and run-down, debilitated. anemic conditions. This is really the first opportunity offered to our people who need strength and vitality, ate under -weight, run down, anemic.' or hade undor-nourished children or feeble old' ’people to get p guaranteed strength and bony-builder that has ■boon prov,e<j by the Nutritional Expert of uuqufestionable authority.

WELL AHO HAPPY Jacob J. Meyer of Redlands, California, Says They Are Getting Along Fine THE CITRUS BELT Hard Hit by Heavy Frost Which Kills Off Oranges and the Lemons. Redlands, Cal., Jan. 28, '22. Editor Democrat, Decatur, Ind.: Dear Sir:—-Enclosed find check for $3.60.. We like to get the news from home, and keep posted on everything going on there, and know of no better way than through the columns of the old home town paper, The Democrat. It’s just like being at home, wherever you are, when you can sit down and read the home news; no chance of getting homesick. Tell all our friends that we are all very well satisfied to stay in sunny southern California. We have all been enjoying the best of health, and prospering well enough, considering the condition of the country at present, and living in the hope that things will get better all over the country soon. ' We have had one serious set-back, that of a heavy frost, which did at lot of damage to the oranges and lemons, and Redlands is pretty hard hit on that account, for it lies right in the midst of the citrus belt, and depends a Treat deal on that industry. Sorry to say, but I'm afraid you'll have to pay dearly for that luscious fruit this year Good luck to you and all our friends.
