BEST IN THE 11. S. Water of Good Old Hoosier) State Must he Absolutely Pure Says MR. JOHN McCARDLE Os the Public Service Commission—Water Utilities to be Unsurpassed Indianapolis, Ind., April 18.—Special to Daily Democrat)—lndiana city water must bo made the best in the United States. Water must be absolutely free from Typhoid and other dangerous bacteria It must be free from other poisonous substances and substances that give it a bad flavor. These are some of the things the water companies in Indiana must attain according to John McCardle chairman of the Public Service com mission as he ontlined a program to day to bring this about. He plans to draw up a rigid set of rules and regulations, lie said, governing water companies both private and municipal. These rules will 1 be laid down by a state wide committee including twen-ty-one prominent men and women of the state as well as officials of the commission.

» On inviting members to serve on the committee McCardle explained the purpose of the program as follows: “This commission has always striven to bring the service of the various Indiana utilities to the highest standard of excellence. It is a source of considerable gratification to the Commission that at this time the public utilities in Indiana generally are in excellent condition while, at the same time, utlity rates have been held to a lower basis than anywhere else in the country. “Heretofore, rules and standards of service have been adopted for various classes of utilities, and the effect of the adoption of these rules and standards has been very gratifying. However, rules and standards for water utilities have not yet been adopted, he water untiities of this state are in excellent condition and are rendering service which, will compare favorably with that rendered by similar utilities in most other states. | "The Commission, however, is desirous of bringing all Indiana water utilities to a standard of perfection unsurpassed anywhere throughtout the United States. Because of its relation to the public health and to the protection of property, the water supply of a city or town is so important that we can not render a greater public benefit than to insure to the cities and towns of Indiana an adequate supply of pure water for domestic consumption and for fire fighting.” ■ — . —9 EAT AT BITTNER’S —CAFE— Meals 40c.

They were set on a table or, as it was often called, a ‘wash bench", so round was a good eriough shape. Then came the boon of running water and kitchen sinks —but still the dishpan kept on being round. True the sink was long and narrow and the dishpan did not fit. but round it had always been su round it continued to be. Then some enterprising man come along (why don't women sometimes thing of these improvements?) and said, “Why not an oval dishpan? And behold the oval enameled ware dishpan came into being! Housewives who have used them tell of their convenience. The old round ones, by the way, are an invaluable adjunct to a laundry for washing out very small or fine articles, and, of course, the round ones are still very much in the majority particularly in the more remote sections.. “ I Never Knew You Could Keep Rats Out of a Butcher Shop.” What Ralph Watkins says: “Figured rats around store had enough to feed on; wouldn’t touch anything suspicious.

They knew the great value of medicinal plants. Hippocrates, the “Father of Medicine,” many centuries later, know less of the merit of vegetable drugs than did the women of ancient times. Lydia E. Pinkham, nearly fifty years ago, gave to women her Vegetable Compound, now known everywhere as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. This is a woman’s medicine for woman’s ailments, prepared from medicinal plants.

FOR THE FARMERS' fl ■ 1 ■ e Items of Interest to the Farmers of Adams County. CREATE A HOME MARKET BY HOME ADVERTISING ( The best place for a breeder of pure ■; bred live stock to sell his surplus is 11 in his home county. It naturally fol ' lows that the biggest returns from advertising ills herd will come from tile use of tile columns of his county , newspapers. The old adage; “Distant pastures look greener", Ims creat- ( ed a distorted vision among breeders and has caused many good men to fail in the business. Ship your fat pork but sell your surplus farm stock to your neighbor, is the route traveled by thousands of successful farmers over the country. “J know a breeder who in the last year has created a market for his surplus and the demand is so great that he has been unable to supply the wants of his neighbors", said Fred L. Obenchain, Secretary of the National Spotted Poland China Record, and editor of the Spoted Poland China Journal. “For years this breeder repended wholly upon big sales to breeders in dis tant parts of the country. Last year he decided on the local market plan. He advertised in his county papers and in vreeklys and daily papers in adjoining counties. More than 300 farmers in his county, accompanied b|' their sons, attended his first sale conducted under this plan. His surplus was sold before noon and since that time he has had sales almost daily to men who came to his pens to buy pure bred boars and gilts. “Seed unplanted or planted in poor soil, represents waste, because they ' produce nothing, but when planted in good ground, propertly tended, become sturdy, growing, producing plants. The recent government census proved a condition of advantage to the breeders of pure bred live stock, which if untilized will make those engaged in the ! business handsome profits, from their herds. Only about one farm in ten ail over tile country has pure bred sires. Adverstising your herd in your home county will interest nine out*of every ten of your neighbors. The home i county newspaper is read by every one of them. “Think of it. What would a manuI facturer conclude about his medium of advertising if he could find a publication where ninety per cent of the read- - ors were prospective purchasers? He would use that medium without doubt. . Why will not the breeder be as wise as his brother manufacturer? “The National Spoted Poland China j Record is urging all breeders to plan a ; campaign of advertising for their fall sales using newspapers in their own community. The Association has provided a department to assist these ' breeders to conduct such publicity and we believe that the breeder who follows out this plan will establish a 1 home trade which will grown in vol s amn. and profits each year. FARMERS BULLETINS AT COUNTY AGENT’S OFFICE 1 That quite a lot of interest is being ? taken in poultry this spring is evit denced by the fact that there are alj most daily requests for information ing Chicks, Brooder House Plans, f concerning various problems in poul--5 try management.

Tuberculosis in Chickens or Feeding Laying Pullets may s be had by writing or calling the county agent. r It will soon be time for the fruit • spray on apples, which is applied J just as the petals are coming out. ' This spray consists of gallons of - concentrated lime sulphur and iy 2 pounds arsenate of lead to 50 gallons of water. If dry lime-sulphur is s used, 3% pounds should be used in 50 gallons of water. The fruit spray ■ on plums or cherries consists of ’ Bordeaux mixture mixed 3-5-50 and 1% pounds arsenate of lead to 50 . gallons water. This spray is applied ■ just after the buds burst but before the trees come into bloom. In case I the trees have already come into 5 bloom spraying should be delayed unj ■ til time for the second fruit ■ spray, which should be applied just as the petals are falling. For further information concerning orchards, spraying, etc., write for , orchard bulletins, explaining quesi tion to be answered. i ■ HOW TO STRAT A ROSE GARDEN By F. F. Rockwell , Other flowers have their admirers and devotees in varying numbers, but everybody loves the rose! Called the “Queen of Flowers” since the first garden, the rose has not only “held her own" but has become ever more and more popular, and has devel oped into ever more types and varie-

ties, each tiding some new charm or overcoming some objection in an older sort, until now it can be said that everybody can grow roses. And yet not everybody does grow roses. Why? 1 think the answer is a double barreled one: first, most people do not realize what wonderful work the growers of roses have geon doing, especially during the last decade or two. to prodee new roses that excell ont only in bounty but also inhardiness and vigor. In the second place, most people do not realize that anyone who knows how to grow ordinary flowers or even vegetables can succeed with roses If they will follow a few common sense suggestions about bow to prepare for them. It. is important to start in the right way, because while there is no mystery or hidden “secret’ about rose growing, there are some things which must be supplied them, it one would be reasonably certain of success. The First Step. The modern varieties of garden roses may be grown in any open, sunny position, where there is good, fairly deep soil. Emphasis is laid upon its being “open", because in any position that is closed in on all sides there is little circulation of air and therefore more likelihood of trouble from milldew which attacks the leaves of the plants. I have, however, seen many entirely successful rose gardens in small back yards where there was plenty of sunshine. The place selected for a rose bed should be free from the rots or shrubs and trees, and well drained. A low moist spot where water will stand after a rain should 1 be avoided, ,but roses will thrive even in a heavy, clay soil if it is well under drained. Usually a spot answering the requirements suggested above, can be found fairly near any dwelling house. The rose garden itself may be laid out as simply or as elaborately as desired. It is best, however, to keep the beds in which the plants are to be set, quite narrow, to 5 feet, as this makes it ’ possble to cut the blooms and tend the plants without stepping on the soil between them.

The Second Step—Preparing the Soil Having selected the spot where the garden is to be placed, the next thing is to get it ready ,so that the plants may be set out immediately after they are received. A very large percentage of sneh failures as there are witli roses may be traced directly to the fact that the plants were allowed to lie around several days after being received, before being set in the ground. Good strong plants will grow and bloom the first season in any fairly fertile soil, under the conditions men tinned above. But if you are going to have roses at all, you naturally want the best, and the most roses that you can get. And in order to make sure of that result, it is always desirable to take a little extra pains with the preparation of the beds where roses are to be planted. One of the things we want to make sure of, is that the rqots will be able to grow deep down, and consequently be safe from summer drouths and winter freezes, and also have a maximum space in which to gather food. For these reason it will pay to dig the beds out to a depth of two feet or so, and in refilling them, to add some extra rich, nice soil to that which has been taken out. INDIANA CATTLE FEEDERS FAVOR CORN SILAGE That Indiana cattle feeders fully appreciate the economy effected by the use of silage in fattning steers is very clear when a study is made of the rations fed on the farms on which cost of production records on fattening cattle have been kept for the past two years by the farmers and men from the Farm Management Departmnt of Purdue University. Ono hundred and forty farmers out of the hundred and eighty-six on whose farm records were secured, used silage. Ninety-five out of the one hundred eighty-six, or a little over onehalf of the entire number, fed a ration of corn, cottonseed meal, silage and some kind of roughage which included clover hay, alfalfa, mixed hay. timothy, corn stover (fodder without any corn) or straw. This is the type of ration which has proven most satisfactory in the steer feeding experiment conducted by the Purdue Agricultural Experiment Station for the last 15 years. The next most common ration used was similar to the one mentioned with the exception that no sottonseed meal was used. The gain on the cattle receiving the standard ration was 1.65 pounds per day, while the cattle receiving no cottonseed meal made 1.52 pounds per day. The average number of pounds of feed consumed per head per day for the entire feeding period for cattle

Health Perfect. “I just feel and look like a different person since taking Tancals and my friends are nil talking about my wonderful improvement,” said Mrs. Della Kirkpatrick, 216 John St., Evansville, Ind. "I had a bad spoil of the flu two years ago and it left me in a wretched condition. My stomach was all upset and my vitality almost gone. I was so weak I could hardly stand on my feet and so nervous I would lie awake until two or three o'clock every morning. .. , “Tanlac suited my case exactly and 1 just feel like a new woman flow. There is onthing on earth I would take for what Tanlac lias done for me.” Tanlac is sold in Decatur bv Smith, Yager & Falk’s and by leading drugglsts everywhere. on the standard ration was corn, 8.2 cottonseed meal 1.3, roughage 3.3 and silage 28.1, while on the second ration was corn 8.3, roughage 3.4 and silage 23. Much interesting and valuable data pertaining to rations and cocts of fattenoing cattle is contained recently issued preliminary report of the study. A copy of this report may be obtained by requesting it from the Farm Management Division, Agricultural Experiment Station, Lafayette, Indiana. SPENDS SII,OOO A DAY FOR ADVERTISING CHEWING GUM.

That business is improving in the East and that this condition is spreading to the Middle West by degrees, is the opinion of William Wrigley. Jr., president of the William Wrigley Jr. Co., Chicago. The good old American dollar is coming back into its own. People from one end of the nation to the other are getting around to the idea that the only basis for real prosperity is an honest day's work for a fair day’s wage. The United States as a whole has been on a “business spree” for the past five years. Prices, up to recently, were out of all sense of proportion for the value received. The greatest cure for hard times, Mr. Wrigley, says, is to stop talking about hard times, get to work and keep money and goods circulating. “The year 1921 was regarded as a pretty had period for lots of concerns in the East and Middle West," said Mr. Wrigley. “For us it was the best year in the thirty years I have been in tile chewing gun manufacturing industry. . “We are spending SII,OOO a day this year to push Wrigley’s Chewing Gum. "The judicious use of printers’ ink is the greatest selling force in the world. If you do business on a worldwide basis, or even in the locality encompassed within a few blocks, you have got to keep the people interested or you won't sell them your goods.” "coal" High Grade Coal at the low price Phone 199.

With them there is no question of whether the library is worth while —they know it is! There is no question of whether they believe in books —that is the first article of their creed. For this same library has opened to them the doors of an enchanted world, a world in which Llysses and King Arthur and Little Orphant Annie wander hand in hand between the covers of library books. It is the open sesame to a beautiful land of folklore and fable peopled with the great figures of history and literature. It has given them a new experience the like of which will not happen in their lives again. Few people in any town realize what their library does for children. Few people in Decatur realize the list of library activities in which the children have a share. Indiana Library Week. April 23-29, affords an opportunity to learn what your Public Library is doing for the children of your own town. I
