CRAMPS, PAINS and backache * Woaaaa Relieved by Lydia E. Piekbara’s Veg. etable Compeewl c t bouii, Mo. —“1 was bothered «i‘th cramp® and pains every month and —.17l had, backache and IIIIIIIMIIIIIIII had to go to bed as 1 l!ijWW*H|jl could not work. My mother and my a whole family always ■L». « ■ took Lydia E.

Just think for a moment. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has been in use for nearly fifty years. It is prepared from medicinal plants, by the utmost pharmaceutical skill, and superior methods. The ingredients thus combined in the Compound correct the conditions which cause such annoying symptoms as had been troubling Mrs. Scholz- The Vegetable Compound exercises a restorative influence of the most desirable character, correcting the trouble in a gentle but efficient manner. This is noted, by the disappearance, one after another, of the disagreeable symptoms, BERNE PHYSICIAN IS RE-AP-POINTED FOR THIRD TERM MEMBER OF SCHOOL BOARD Berne, June 22 —Dr. A. Reusser was reappointed to serve as a member of the school board for another term of three years on Monday night The appointment of Dr. Reusser was made by the town council, who voted unanimously for his reappointment. Dr. Reusser will finish his second term on the school board this summer and is the first man to have been appointed to three successive terms on the board. The other two members of the board whose term carries over are Dr. R. von Gunten and R. R. Schug.

BE RID OF THAT ACHE If you are a sufferer with lame back, backache, dizziness, nervousness and kidney disorders, why don’t you try the remedy that your own neighbors recommend? Ask your neighbor! Mrs. Nellie Meyer, 710 Marshall St., Decatur, says: “I could not have kept going if it had not been for Doan’s Kidney Pills. I had kidney complaint and my back ached incessantly. I could get no relief day or night. When I stooped 1 got dizzy spells and black spots floated before my eyes. My kidneys acted irregu larly and I knew they were the cause of the trouble. I used Doan’s Kidney Pills from Callow & Kohne’s Drug Store and they proved to be Just what I needed. It was wonderful how quickly they stopped the backache and regulated my kidneys. Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills —the same that Mrs. Meyer had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. BETTER LAWS AGAINST DOGS NEEDED TO PROTECT SHEEP Although 48 states have dog laws designed to protect sheep, many of them are so poorly planned or so poorly enforced that dogs still do much damage to flocks, especially in the farming States where flocks are small and dogs are plentiful. There is need for improvement in these laws, but, says the United States Department of Agriculture, a poor law that is enforced with energy may produce better I • results in sheep conservation than a much better law that is not enforced. AN OLD RECIPE TO DARKEN HAIR Common Garden Sage and Sulphur Makes Streaked, Faded or Gray Hair Dark and Youthful at Once. Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streackod or gray. Years ago the only way to set this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound.” You will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients, at very little cost. Everybody uses this preparation now, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it «o naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morn ■ng the gray hiar-disappears and alter another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years young-

EUROPE TAUGHT TO CARE POR HER CHILDREN rJ^ ndOn l June 22 -American food wh i ( .h during the p Ost . War period saved thousands of children In Central Europe from starvation, has resulted in the recognition by the governments concerned of their responsl--I'llity for continuing the mass feeding. Walter Lyman Brown European director of the American Relief Administration, said upon his return from a tuor of the feeding centres. "My visit Included visits to Prague Warsaw ami Vienna. In the last two of which A. R. A. will finish its child feeding in June, having ch sed down In Czechoslovakia a year ago,” said Brown. “Poland has Improved considerably since my last visit six months ago. Austria’s economic condition is still extremely serious, but Czechoslovakia has made a wonderful recovery. Poland’s Problem “The chief problem in Poland from our point of view is the devasted region in the east, complicated by the refugees pouring over the eastern frontier from Russia. There is also considerable suffering in the big industrial centres. "But the A. R. A. by feeding the tarving during the worst period, has definitely established the claims of the children at least on the public. Our work, in short, made possible the passing of the recent legislation by which 400,000 children will be fed by the Polish government and communes until next October and 300,000 until the following June. "The Polish committee, which will handle the work after the A. R. A. withdraws, is headed by Wladislaw Grabski, former minister of finance. "Many Poles regard this organization the most efficient body operating in the country. It is entirely independent of political parties, and it is the intention of the Poles to keep it so. FLAPPER LOSING OUT IN OHIO Columbus, Ohio, June 22. —The flapper, much lambasted devotee of the petting party and the toddle, is losing her uphill fight in Ohio against the forces of conservatives. A census of local dance floors divulged the fast that quadrilles and circle dances are fast becoming the ‘rage.” Where the flapper and her “cake eater” once gave an excellent inpersonation of two very agile wrestlers, dancers now step off the evening to the tune of “Turkey in the Straw” and “The Arkansas Traveler" while some robust voiced individual admonishes them to “promenade,” “count four” and “circle all.” And, when the orchestra finally swings into the syncopation of “Everybody Step” or “Bow Wow Blues,” the dancers fail to embrace in the manner which aroused the ire of their frock-coated condemners. Instead, partners are held at arms length while the steps, instead of being a cross between a wiggle and writhe, consist mostly of short, jerky walking steps. So much for dancing. The flapper’s dress which moved her grandmother to tears, is also undergoing a radical change. Although short skirts continue popular few of them are made of the filmy, form fitting materials, which marked the jazz-craze at its height, instead, suits of tweed, almost severe in their cut, are making their appearance wherever flappers are found. Shoes, tood are drifting from tight patent leather pumps with lofty French heels to flat heeled sport oxfords of elk hide, with rubber soles. Bobbed hair has as yet shown no sign of falling from favor. The consensus of flapper opinion seems to be that it is a permanent fixture, along with the power puff «. STREET CAR CHECKS GOOD ON MANY LINES St. Louis, Mo., June 22.—St. Umis street car tokens are good on Denver cars. Likewise Nashville and Omaha discs are accepted for trolley rides in St. Louis. A Dever visitor recently apoligized to the conductor, realizing he had tendered a Denver check "That’s O. K„ we take ’em all," replied the rear door guardian, as the Denver stranger joined its St. Louis cousins in the box. Every day the United Railways company here takes in tokens sold by companies in other cities and daily redeems it own metal checks, accepted as fare by street railway systems of other cities.

UNCLE SAM MAKING MONEY OUT OF RADIO i !’ •*'»»» Service.) Washington, June 22—Without half •tying. 1 nelo Sam is making money out of his naval radio equipment. The commercial business carried not only reduced the cost to the govern ment of its own business but brought into the United States Treasury last year more than $600,000 In cash. Back in 1917, the commercial messages brought $31,239 to the treasury, in 1918 this jumped to $291,903, and it continued going up, so that last year there was deposited in the treasury from this source a total of $666,362. The present fiscal year is keeping up the record. These figures were disclosed by an extensive report on the naval radio service and what it is doing, filed with the senate appropriations committee in its hearings on the naval appropriation bill. Admiral Robison chief of the bureau of engineering, submitted the data. Radio research and experimental work by the navy has resulted, Robl son’s statement showed, in a large number of valuable improvements. He listed a few of them, Including: Great improvement In facilities for secret communication; doubling the capacity of the crowded ether to carry radio messages; increasing the of aircraft radio sets from 50 to 500 miles; reduction of the weight of aircraft radio equipment, thereby saving fuel; development of a pilot cable for harbors and landing fields making navigation and landing safe if foggy and rainy weather; improve ment of simultaneous communication so that it is now possible to send five messages at once, instead of only one Speed of long distance sending ha> been increased six fold, so that 60 words a minute instead of 10 cat now be sent; automatic transmission and reception have been made pos sible; a kite has been perfected fol lifting an emergney antenna from at airship forced to land on the water thus making possible a speedier res cuet; advances have been made ir controlling ships and torpedoes by radio. Admiral Robison also listed a great number of technical advances having to do mostly with the effectiveness o the naval radio in war time against enemies by land or sea. He declared the 214 naval radio stations now ir service adequately serve not only the Asiatic, Pacific and Atlantic fleets, but the American merchant marim as well.

A listening device for detecting enemy submarines and other craft lias been brought to perfection. h< said, ami will shortly bo installed or destroyers and a few battleships. The details of this invention. Admir ■til Robison pointed out, are conii dential. MAKE MARION FIGHT ON HARDING’S RECORC (Vailed Preus Service.) Marion. Ohio, June 22.—(Special t< Daily Democrat)—When voters go t< the polls this fall in President Hard Ing’s home town they may find a sit nation facing them similar to the presi dential race in November. 1919. At in the case of Cox and Harding voters may have to choose again between two newspapermen, only this tiuu they will have to pick a congressman to represent the Harding bailiwick. Carl W. Smith, 34, war veteran, edi tor of the Marion Tribune, only local newspaper opposition to President Harding’s Marion Star, has the inside track for democratic honors. He is op posed by Mayor Hartman of Galion, T C. Mahon of Kenton ami J. B. Light borne of Crestline. Smith flung his hat into the ring with the declaration that “Harding is the issue.” “I am making my race on the strength of the failure of the Harding administration to make good,' salt. Smith. The state democratic organization backs up Smith on this issue. W. W. Durbin, state democratic chairman, and whose home is also in this district, does not expect Harding to take part in the congressional fight. “We would like nothing better than have Mie President write an endorsement of the republican candidate, said Durbin. "The fight in Marion and the surrounding country will lie contested on Harding. We mean to make the election of a democratic congressman a vote of lack of confidence in Harding by his homefolk." Three republicans are after the nomination. They are R. C. Cole, incumbent, of Findlay: Harry Rodebaugh of Findlay and James Hopiey of the Bucyrus Telegram. Cole has served two terms and thought there has been no criticism of him by republicans, there is a feeling among republicans hereagainst a third consecutive term. Hopiey appears to be the most favored candidate, n addition to editing the Bucyrus Telegram, he is also a state senator. WANT ADS EARN— s—s—s

DISABLED WAR VETS TO FIGHT METHODS EMPLOYfcp , AT VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS San Francisco, June 22.—(Special to Daily Democrat)—Rehabilitation of disabled American war veterans, upon the completion of a six or eight months contract school course and throwing them on their own resources without definite employment, is to be aggressively fought at the coming nattonr.) convention of the Disabled American Veterans of the World War according to a statement made today by Win, J. O’Connor of this city, national executive committee member. O'Connor claims that arrangements are soon to be put into effect whereby disabled and wounded war veterans, now in placement and vocational schools, will be obliged to accept diplomas at the termination of a regulation six or eght months course in one particular branch, regardless of whether they are fitted for stu b occupation, or able to secure employment therein; and that, with these diplomas tendered them they will no longer be able to look for Government aid, either financially, or in lie obtaining of permanent employment. “The greater percentage of the men who were wounded or disabled in action, are men of very little education,” declared O'Connor in a statement the other day. He added: “These men will be liabilities of the worst kind to our Government, if steps are not taken to give them all the educational opportunities and training advantages possible, to assist them in their struggle for means to earn a living, without being dependent on others all their lives. If the proposed custom of Issuing diplomas for one branch of training, after a brief course only, is carried out, we will find many thousands of men in the streets of our large cities, in worse plight than ever; especially if they are not carefully safeguarded with Government cooperation in obtaining decent employment at fair wages. A great deal more should be done than to merely give these men a short trainnig course of instruction in contract schools, where no particular pains are taken to make ertain that the men are receiving the utmost of educational helps. The future of the country and its good name are at stake in the matter, and we intend to make these practices the subject of much discussion at our national convention in San Francisco, durng the last week in June. Elaborate entertianment plans are being made for the thousands of men who will be here for the Disabled American Veterans’ national convention June 26 to 30.

BATTLE RAGES BETWEEN LONG AND SHIRT SKIRTS New York, June 22—The conflict between the long skirt and its kueeength sister is steadily growing more litter and more desperate. It has degenerated, as it inevitably nust into a contest of streets a batle between Fifth Avenue and Broadway. And, sisters just because Fifth \ venue is Fifth Avenue and Broadway is Broadway, don’t rush in too iarly and decide that its all over but :he cheering. Fifth Avenue has been iefeated before in this never ending tontest for style supremacy and may ae again despite the fact that Paris is leflnitely allied with the “Avenoo” folks. The “come back” of the long skirt is tot popular with Broadway, because Jroadway works and the ease and •omfort of the short skirt has worn an ndelible place for itself in the mind if the American girl. The knee-length skirt is “smart”; it has “snap” and ginger. Its not hard to fit; requires ess goods and frankly, there are very few women living who do not believe but that they present a much more iffective appearance in the short skirt than in its trailing prototype. That is why the short skirt persists, l aris decreed its death almost a year ago. London meekly followed. But while the long skirt has unquestionably been making some popular gains, largely thru the suberterfuge of the side panel, yet, excepting that thin, veneer of people who take Parisian decrees’s as if handed down from the ultimate court of good taste, the long skirt has not yet been "put over.” And what makes this popular adherence to the short skirt ever more remarkable is that it has occured in the face of the desperate efforts of American and European dress manufacturers who have exhausted every effort on the part of press agent and ballyhoo to make it appear as if the Abbreviated skirt was doomed to be relegated back to the beaches and the chorus. To date however, the American girl has not been appreciably stampeded. o — D. M. Hensley, exalted ruler of the Elk's lodge of this city, received a letter this morning from the Grand Exalted Ruh r and the Grand Trustees granting the local lodge permission to build a new home.

MOTORISTS URGED NOT TO BLOCKADE HIGHWAYS WHEN THEY MAKE STOPS ON ROUTE The practice of motorists stopping their cars while on paved highways so the vehicle occupies more than It full share of the roadway is getting to be so common, according to a bulletin just issued by the Hoosier State Automobile Association, that some means of combating this growing evil must be found, it is declared. "In the main” the motor organization states, "this practice is due altogether to thoughtlessness on the part of the car driver. Too many drivers, too much of the time, think and act as though their car Is the only one on, the road, having no thought for the other fellow. "These same motorists are quick to condemn two farmers in their wagons or buggies who, meeting on the highway. stop to chat awhile witli their vehicles meanwhile blocking the road. The autoist is mad wh< n he encounters this situation, yet he Is just as apt to do tricks just as bad or worse." "If you have a change a tire, pull off of the edge of the paved road or else to the edge of a gravel road” continues the motor club bulletin. “This will give others a chance to pass you. Frequently it is necessary for two vehicles to pass each other right at a spot where some other vehicle may be stopped to change a tire or for other purposes. "If you stop on a paved road, always pull over to the edge of the "burm” or shoulder of the road wherever this is possible. The roadways themselves are too narrow to permit you to leave your car standing in the main traffic path or near such a path. "If you wish to view a sporting event or engage in a picnic, for Mike's sake get in the clear of other traffic. The attention of sheriffs and constables everywhere is being called to this situation throughtout Indiana by the motor organization. "These officers have jurisdiction in such cases which constitute blocking the public highway,’* the Hoosier association states. “As far as practical we are urging them to exercise their police powers in regulating such matters, especially on occasions of ball games, picnics, holiday events and such like.

“It is up to the individual motor car driver first to think of liis own actions in such matters,” continues the bulletin. "The fellow who is first to condemn a truck driver for not “laying over' is the one who is most apt to stop his car in a highway in such a manner that two other cars cannot move past that spot. And this tiling of lining both sides of a narrow highway or a narrow paved road witli cars parked to watch a ball game, leaving a single lane through the center, if indeed any lane at all is left, most certainly should be stopped, and at once. "In this again it is the individual who is responsible and who is amenable under the law against blocking highways. We hope each driver will read and heed these admonitions.” . > DEAF AND DUMB PERSONS IN INDIANA ABLE TO USE VOICES Indianapolis, June 22. —Deaf and dumb persons in Indiana are able to use their voices in talking in some cases, as well as a person whose hearing is not defective. Some who are “stone deaf” and who have not been able to hear since they were born, are able to deceive hearing persons into thinking they can hear liy talking fluently. The method of teaching sign language in Indiana is passing according to O. M. Pittenger, superintendent of the State School for the Deaf. Os the twenty five classes at the | school, methods of using the voice are taught in fifteen of them, Pittenger said. z “This is a very difficult problem,” he said, “for the child has no idea how a sound is made, or even there ( is such a thing as speech. “A child of seven —the ago that most of them are taken into the school —must learn to talk just as a baby learns, but a baby can hear the different sounds made by the vocal chords and the different modulations and expeasions made by the mouth and lips The deaf child has a decided advan tage. The instructor makes a sound I and places the pupil's hand on her| throat so that he may ‘feel’ the pitch of the sound. Then the child attempts j so make a sound with his hand on' his own throat for comparison. This is repeated until the vibrations in the, instructor’s throat feel the same as i his. "All of this is repeated throughout ; a great variety of sounds. Instruction ' is given in movements of the mouth to get the formation of the different vow | els and consonants and then in the formation of words. This tedious ( practice is performed for hours by;

a child before n mirror trying to Imitate the teacher. These are just a few things that the deaf person must do to get from tinder his handicap.” THOUSANDS OF AMERICAN WOUNDED WAR VETS PLAN TO ATTEND CONVENTION San Francisco, June 22. —With every railroad In the country granting a special rate of one-way fare for the round trip excursion to San Fran cisco, thousands of America’s woundled and disabled heroes of the great I war are making plans to attend the second annual national convention of the Disabled American Veterans of the World War, to be held in this city, June 26 to 30. The Pullman company has also agreed to a special rate for delegates and members of the organization, of $25.00 for a Pullman accomodation from any part of the United States, for the round trip to San Francisco. From western (points, where the rate would naturally bo less, an extra cut has been granted. The entertainment program, which

For Better Citizens Better Service TO promote the safety first movement, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has created within its own organization 24 separate and distinct inquisitorial bodies to investigate accidents involving Company motor equipment. These bodies are called “Safety Courts.” The primary purpose of these courts is to reduce the hazard of automobile accidents on the public highway. This is directly inline withthe policy of the Company to help the employee toa better understanding of his obligation to his fellow citizens. The Cc*irt meets weekly and before it must appear nr.y ctni'loy ••, whether manager or truck driver, who has t en involved in an accident during the preceding week. The employee comes into co’irt. as dc/ndant with his immediate superior as his auorney. The Chairman of the Safety Council is t >e judge. Other members of the Council sen a .. •> jurors. When the investigation shows that the employee has been guilty of carelessness in observing tra.Tic laws, penalties are fixed and punishment r.srcsse.i by the jury. The punishment is often as novel as tlie pl an itself. For instance, a truckchiver recently convicted of carelessness was removed from his position and sentenced to work for two we I s in the Company warehouse as a common labo; cr. The plan is in operation throughout the 11 Mi.ld'e Western States served by the Standard Gil Company (Indiana) and has been responsible for reducing automobile accidents approximately 50 percent. The spirit which pervades the “Safety Court” is to inspire employees with a sense of their responsibility to the community. As in the case of the Annuity System, which gives the employee a feeling of security regarding his future, and in the case of the Stock Investment Plan to promote the desire to save, the “Safety Court” has as its object the making of better and more responsible citizens who will render continuous and greater service to society.
