Help observe “CLEAN-UP week, May Ist to 6th. It will add to your property to have the entire city looking bright and busy. Two bright and sunny days In succession has created the hope that the farmers may have a chance to get busy. Republican members of the United I States senate held a caucus and de 1 cided to stand for a bonus bill but the i trouble is that each one of them favors a different kind of a bill and consequently it will take several years to reach an agreement. Tlie Democratic national committee ' has a shortage in funds and a debt which must be paid before they enter the coming campaign. The assess ment for Adams county is sixty dol lars and this should be promptly sub scribed. We will be glad to accept your check and will see that same is | forwarded to the proper source and that you are receipted. Pleace send > in what you can afford and lets make

It known that this county never lags in meeting her share. Hear Governor Ralston at the court room Friday afternoon. He is one of the candidates for United States Senator, a big man who has an excellent record and whose opinion on the great public questions is worth hearing. Hi has had many years of experience in public life and you should listen to his arguments. Next week Daniel W. Simms, also a leader of Indiana thought, a candidate for the democratic nomination will be here and you should plan to hear him also. The follow who patented this ro-

tation of names on the primary ballots never had to print them or tc serve on the election commission or else he wanted a steady job. In every precinct in the state for instance candidates names for United States senator have to be rotated, that is each name must appear first on the same number of ballots. Its a silly, expensive and useless demand of the law but so long as it is the law it has to be done and the tax payers must pay the hill. Thurman Gottsschalk is a candidate for representative and his many friends insist he should be re-elected. He has served the past tow years and his record is excellent. He is in every way a high class citizen and the fact that he is now a member of the legislature where he holds an important place makes it possible for him to do bmore effective work in the next session. Wells county has the only candidate for state senator in this district and it is but fair that an Adams county man be named as the candidate for representative. . . • _'.L - - L J... Will Hays has issued an order that no Fatty Arbuckle films are to be shown on the screen until he has investigated the case for himself. He is wise. No difference what the verdict in San Francisco, the public has their own Ideas of the death of Virginia Rappe and to insolently force the acceptance of Arbuckle films on theatre goers would have much influence at this time wjien the promoters of the business are making a real effort to give clean and wholesome pictures. Arbuckle ruined himself and must stand the cosequences. John Tyndall stands for yon and your interests. He knows the farmers needs, he has had years of ex-

1 perience in business, he is a manufacturer, he knows how to present matters to a legislative body. He is industrious and capable and if the democrats of the eighth district are look- ' ing for a man who can fill the job to the satisfaction of the people they will nominate just such a man. We do not know about his opponents or their ability but we do know Tyndall and know that he is u conscientous office holder and that it will be to the best interests of the people to send him to congress. May Ist to May 6th inclusive. Mark those dates so you won't forget it. It's "CLEAN-UP” week for Decatur. During those six days we are all expected to gather up the rubbish, rake the yards, brighten up any way we can and put on a clean dress for the summer. It’s a fine idea, a right one and every citizen will join heartily in the efforts of the city officials. It not only helps our looks but its a good

thing for the health of a community. Read the instructions and follow them, then do a little more and make your home place and your business house look like you were ready for spring and summer.

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a msitake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys, they become over-worked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedifnent, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in p, glass of water before breakfast anil in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined tvith lithia, and has been used for generations to flush anil stimulate the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no’ longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes aidrifchtful effervescent Jithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidngysf clean and active and the blood ,pufip; thereby avoiding serious kidney complications.
