A DECATUR MAN'S EXPERIENCE Can you doubt the evidence of thia Decatur citizen? You can verity Decatur endoraement. Read this: C. Cook. 716 N, 6th St , Decatur, says: "I have used Doau'a Kidney Pills tor attacks of kidney complaint and I can highly recommend them. My kidneys were In such a condition that 1 had trouble with my back If I over worked. My back was so lame and stiff I could hardly bend. My kidneys acted irregularly, too. 1 used Doan’s Kidney Pills from Halthouse's Drug Co. and they were just what I needed. They gave me prompt relief from the aches and pains and put my kidneys in good shape.” Price 60c, at all dealers Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy -get Doan’s Kidney Pilla— the same that Mr. Cook had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. MRS. HATFIELD SABINA, OHIO la Pitiable Condition when she Began Taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Sabina. Ohio.—“l took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound for weakIHlIlillllWIilillllltri “as weaftd I nervous and could hardly stand on my feet long enough to Tf’ cnok a meal. I was / this way for about a ■sY year and had tried * ml Bevcra ' medicines H i ~~~ 111 and had a physician, ||l "I but to no avail. My “ sister was taking vour medicine and finally induced me to try it. I now feel fine and can do my housework w-ithout any trouble at all. You can use this letter for the sake of others if you wish.” —Mrs. Weldon G. Hatfield, R. R. 3, Sabina, Ohio. Housewives make a great mistake in allowing themselves to become so weak and nervous that it is well-nigh impossible for them to attend to their necessary household duties. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound should be taken when you first notice such symptoms as nervousness, backache, weakness and irregularity. It will help you and prevent more serious trouble. Give it a fair trial. It surely helped Mrs. Hatfield, justasithas many, many other women. ' J3OND S 71 I Municipal^^■.xCorporat. l^ j Zxcmpf-SimZ ree C Milton Kelly, Mgr. Bond Dem. ,

In the absence of any known warrant and lacking any information from an official source from Adams county the Wells county sheriff withheld action for an investigation. He called the Decatur sheriff this morning and learned that no charge had been filed and that the Decatur officer held no warrant for the Bluffton young man. and therefore he took no action. letter in the morning Mr. Fullencanap arrived in Bluffton to seek a settlement with the man he alleged had defrauded him, and it was indicated today that an adjustment would be reached without resort to the courts, filed, and the fact that only one side of the case was presented the name of the Bluffton party is withheld, but of course will become public if charges are tiled in court. —Bluffton News.

Miss Moyer, as well as her large host of friends are greatly pleased with the success with which her endeavors have met. The words of the song are as follows: WHAT TREASURE CANNOT BUY While sitting alone one moonlight night And gazing at the stars, J was thinking of treasures wealth — Alluring to the eye. And of bargains by the score. Still as I mused I thought of things That treasure cannot buy.

1 listened gently to footsteps Coming to the old back door In came my brother dear, His eyes were sparkling witii tears. As he threw his arms about me. He said, “I love you sister More than all money can buy.” Chorus The loving care of a mother’s hand, Tho voice of a father's kind command, A wife who clings when things go wrong, A husband who smiles if he is forlorn, A sweetheart’s love that will never fade, Are some things no treasure can buy. a—_..

Feb. 16.—Reports from tho leading markets to the Horse Association of America, show that ou horses and mules sold on public markets in January, 1922, a medium price prevailed. Farmers, generally, held back their horses, waiting for better transportation rates, for unless each individual animal was high class, they could not make enough profit ou a carload, after paying express charges, to warrant their fitting and sending to market. However, the seven leading markets, St, Louis, Kansas City, Omaha, Chicago, Buffalo, Boston and New York, report around 30,000 horses ami mules sold in January, and in most cases a considerable increase over sales volume of January 1921. • • —.
