careful not to do heavy work - and sc well and strong. We recommend Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to 11 mothers with ailing daughters, and 1 five you permission to publish this let■r as a testimonial. "—Mrs. A. M. BURKHOLDER, Route No. 2, Box 1, Wauseon, Ohio. Something out of balance will affect the finest clock, causing it to gain or lose. The proper adjustment made, all is well. So it is with women. Some trouble may upset you completely Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will correct the cause f he trouble and disagreeable symp oins will disappear as they did in the case of Mrs. Burkholder’s daughter. Mothers — it is worthy of your confider.ee.

The People’s Voice Many good things can be done and accomplished in Decatur, since we are blessed with the best people on earth. The prevailing spirit of good fellow hip in this fine community of ours < an. will, and should do some things that will make every man. woman and < hild a little prouder of our Dear Little City. Decatur should begin now to improve ; I the River Bank on First Street, conii mencing south of the old mill up to the I A. J. Smith Bridge, it should be made I into a park effect, lighted the same as 'the Waterworks park, (the old mill torn down). There is also a very desirable place, the old stone Quarry, which can be made into a swimming pool, which is located on the River Bank where the improvement is proposed. Our neighboring cities. Huntington and Bluffton hafe built swimming pools of this kind in the past year, and we know Decatur can do likewise. This swimming pool could be built at a nominal cost the same as the ini- | proving of the mentioned River Bank, Lind the suggestion would be to let this ome under the supervision of our City. The expense of an additional tax for this improvement would not bo noticeable considering the benefit and good it would do. Our present Mayor and his council have so wonderfully improved the AV a terworks Park that everyone is proud of what they have done. Now, this same work can go on in a larger scale as suggested, so let us back up on:' good officials in a movement of tnis kind to beautify our City and help the children to have a Municipal Swimming Pool. Another proposed park can be had it a very little cost, which will be a benefit to the people of the Southern pari of our Citys, that is the Old Cometary on South First Street. All the work there to do is to move the old tomb stones, cut the grass, put in cin j dor paths, electric lights, benches, a tennis court, anil we have as fine a ' park as anywhere in the city. The same kind of a park can be had i for a nominal cost at the end of West I Adams Street. The City of Decatur should by all i means purchase the point at Mercer, i Winchester and Adams Streets, for a ; proposed sight for a monument, should | we be successful in getting the Yeo Iman Home of Childhood. How flttlling it would bo to have a monument [there, dedicated to the City of Childhood. showing the cities’ earnestness in this great. Ideal which we are so vitally Interested in. Also a movement should be on foot to induce property holders on Main Street in certain districts to veneer l the fronts with brick. Sturgis, Michi Igan has made their old shacks look like new. Old wood awnings and signs ! should come down on the Main Streets , The Old Pump at the Court House I should he removed and replaced with a , sanitary drinking fountain. Everyone should help the Womens . Civic Organization in their work. They can do much if each citizen is back of j their work, which they wish to do. Contest for beautiful lawns and flower beds would be away to beautify the .City. The churches, lodges, Rotary Club, and societies should take a part in all movements of our Civic Organization 'as the Play Grounds, etc. The City should bring pressure to I bear to have the Erie Railroad and (’loverleaf Railroad to build new depots and beautify their grounds the

sunn’ as the 0, R. * I railroad ha.; I done. I Some of our vacant lots in down ‘ town districts should be put in shape for parking cars on busy days ami evenings. A", we have been named by Mr. McKee, chairman of the Board of Directors of the Yeoman—" The City of Hair plness." these suggestions made by the writer, I am sure, are just another step to make every man, woman ami child just a little happier. Since we are blessed in Decatur with good spirited, loving people, we can accomplish any beneficial movements and improvements to help make out < ity not only the Bost City in Indiana, but the most Beautiful City. Ix-t us also have occasional Coin inunity Singing to keep up our Spirit of neighborly love towards one another, and learn to know each other better day by day for the benefit of mankind. WM. KLEPI’ER •— Judge John C. Moran continues to improve. However he will not bo able ;o preside at the opening of court, next week. LADIES! DARKEN YOUR GRAY HAIR

I Look years younger! Use Grandmother's recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur and nobody will know. The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmoth er’s time. She used it to keep her, hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance. this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wy(eth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound” ! vou will got this famous old prepara tion, improved by the addition of other ingredients, which can be de , pended upon to restore natural color end beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggist ■.ays it darkens the hai> so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied You simply dampen a : ponge or soft brvsh with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, it becomes beautifully dark and glossy.

Instead of listing it at a high price, to enable the dealer tn attract you with a so-called “long discount,” we list it as low as we profitably can. You can see from the figures below that its advertised price is lower than the net price you are asked to pay for many “long discount” tires of unknown value. We believe the average man would rather buy tires on this frank and open basis, and assure himself a product of recognized worth. The new Goodyear Cross-Rib Tread Cord is made of high-grade long-staple cotton, and it embodies the patented Goodyear method of group-ply construction. In design, materials and manufacture it is a representative Goodyeat product, built to safeguard the world-wide Goodyear reputation. It has a different tread from the famous All-Weather Tread Ccms-» a new tread with a deep, clean-cut, cog-like patteiu—and itselbvfijf substantially less.

DEMOCRAT WANT ADS GET RESULTS P F" e. Thorough Soil Preparation Is Easy the FordsonWay BECAUSE the Fordson has plenty of power and is fast running, Fordson farms are known as the best tilled farms in the community. Good plowing can be followed promptly by good discing because the man who drives a Fordson is soon through with one job and ready for the other. This thorough tillage, of course, results in bigger ( crop yields. Because of its scientific design and easy handling qualities, the RODERICK Lean AUTOMATIC Engine Disc Harrow, specially designed for the Fordson, inspires its owners to pulverize thoroughly both before and afterplowing. The Roderick Lean Automatic is as necessary to economical tractor farming as the special tractor plow. Operated from the tractor seat, it provides easy. thorough soil preparation with the Fordson. Strong for power requirements, flexible for short turning, and adjustable to meet all soil conditions. This is the proper disc for Fordson tractors—the one disc harrow preferred by Fordson owners.
