Nine veterans of the Civil War inarched in the parade yesterday and they with feeble step. Hats off to these men who more than sixty years ago ottered their all on the altar of American patriotism. We cannot do them too much honor uor show them too much respect. The World Work magazine is publishing a complete history of the ku klux which is interesting in many details, not the least of which is that the publicity agents who put it over have accumulated several million dollars during the past couple of years. The story begins in the May issue and will continue several months. The speedway races are over for another year and a hundred and fifty thousand people attended the biggest annual event of its kind in the state. Tommy Milton won in a Stutz car and has the honor of being the only man who has copped the second t'me. It's a big show and a wonderful stimulant for hotels and eating houses as well as a few other business men of Indianapolis. The campaign to beautify the river banks will meet with a hearty response we are sure for a number of people have told us they will be glad to co-operate in any manner possible. One day with two or three hundred volunteers can make a real change in the appearance of the banks of the old St. Marys through Decatur and it s sure worth the effort. We can make it a big community picnic, a day of fun as well as one of good results. Decoration Day evidently does not attract the attention it did a few years ago. As Mr. Lutz said in his address yesterday we seem to be traveling so fast these days we don't have time to pay respect to those who fought and died that the Suion might live and we enjoy the prosperity of tlie greatest land beneath the sun.

the Spanish-American have a big job ahead if they would preserve the day. A halt dozen or perhaps a few more of the down town business Imuses have been painted and they add a lot to the appearance of that section. We hope each of the sixty who promised to do this will comply with that contract. it ought to be done during tile next twu or three weeks so that we will be "all dressed up" when the several thousand visitors come here for the .firemen's convention. With these boys will come the city officials from forty or fifty towns and cities and we want them to see just how good we are. Let’s do it. Keep your feet on the ground folks. Don't be misled into any wild schemes designed to separate you from your money aud destroy tlie benefits of pulling together, don't buy worthless slock, don't buy any without consulting your banker or your business friends in whom you have confidence. If you let some slick stranger come along and talk you out of the earnings you have you should not expect much sympathy. Most of these efforts fade as soon as tire representatives have left aud all you have is the lesson, sometimes expensively learned. Be careful what you sign and use your good judgment. We have a lot of faith in tlie “common sense" of our people and we do not believe these “slick guys." will get far in Adams county. Evidently this community has to pass through tho same process as other counties in the state and until the territory lias been worked over ' the agents for the ku klux klan will continue. We will have an occasional burning of the fiery cross which is really a couple of pieces of wood soaked with oil, a public speech or two and perhaps a parade. Then tlie organizers will leave for more fertile fields and the members will be out their ten dollars and costa. The organization its losing its best asset as the novelty wears off and it becomes apparent that even masked men cannot violate the laws. After all its a silly extravagance of your time and money. The same effort devoted to constructive assistance to your community would bi? much more beneficial but if you wish to thus “kid" yourself that you are saving the nation, no one will say you nay. It is well to’remember however that Americanism never goes masked- If you believe in a principal stand out and say so. IF BACK HURTS BEGIN ON SAITS Flush Your Kidneys Occasionally by Drinking Quarts of Good Water No man or woman can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Too much rich food creates acids which clog the kidney pores so that they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and posons from the blood. Then you get sick. Rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble nervousness, constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness bladder disorders often come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or you, - back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage, or attended by a sensation of scalding, begin to drink soft water in quantities; also get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable pharmacy aud take a tablespoonful in a glass of water and your kidneys may then act fine. This faiqous salts is made from the acid of grapes aud lemon juice, combined with litliia, and has been used for years to help flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to help neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer cause irritation, thus often relieving bladder disorders. ' Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink, which everyone can take now and then to help keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby often preventing serious kidney complications By all means have your physican examine your kidneys at least twice a year.

TALES FROM BIG CITIES

Adopt in Haste and Repent at Leisure

Chicago— t • ady was eix months old and homeless, ,ut be had long, silky bair, large 'ayes, and a drooping smile. She was childless. Her heart vas hungry for a baby. So site cried a bit as she snatched him to her breast and walked off with him. He wasn’t In one of the accredited orphanages or under jurisdiction of a home-finding agency. The mother was historical and quickly gave her consent. The • kind lady” took tlie little waif into a home of wealth and culture. Environment had every chance. But the other day, after three years, her husband walked into the office of the Illinois Children's Home aud Aid society. Jn bls arms he carried a feeble-minded boy, subject to Sts of epilepsy. Tlie foster parents were "through with him.” The child had not come from the society; he could not go back there. Adoption annullment proceedings are exceedingly difficult. And Teddy, three years ago, the innocent victim of a t r o zealous sentimentalism, is today the victim, equally luaocent, of a too tardy common sense. For ten baby fingers and ten baby toes, a gurgle, and a chubby fist can't defeat science, medicine, and knowledge when it comes to adopting a bab,, says the children's eomralttee of the Council of Social Agencies, which

Sioux Sue Uncle Sam for 750 Millions

A GAVEL In the hands of a judge has been substituted for a tomahawk in the hands of a brave by the groat Sioux nation in its fight to recover about $750,000,000 from the federal government as payment with Interest for lands and property taken from them by the palefaces years ago. Os the total demanded, more than $500,000,000 represents Interest. The suit of the Sioux, said to Involve tha largest sum ever sought through judicial action, is filad in the Tnited States Court of Claims, counsel announced, and specifies 40 separate counts. The claims date back to the days of the gold rush in the Black Hills of South Dakota, Sitting Bull, General Custer, the Little Big Hom, old Fort Laramie, Wounded Knee. Red Cloud. Spotted Tail. Chief Gaul, the White River Trait and other historic persons and points of interest. The Sioux contend that the t’niied States has left undone many things provided for in the treaties of 18M and 1668. that millions of acres of their tribal lands were taken from them, their game slaughtered and their ponies ami tepees seized, and their funds

qualities juat mentioned to be found in high degree in Its bedrooms. Nor. when the rooms are appropriately furnished, is the hope deceived. The bed is, of course, the point of emphasis. It is in the style of the ancient tester bed, with fonr posts, to which In some cases, is attached a canopy. Windsor chairs,

a lowboy, highboy, or chest of drawers instead of the modern bureau or chiffonier; a braided carpet rug; perhaps, for a night table, a Colonial sewdng table; and on the walls a characteristic decoration or so—here are elements that take the mind over long 1 periods of time to a more spacious, less hurried day. On the wall appears, perhaps, a chintz wail paper, with its suggestion of daintiness and peace. The white curtains of ruffled filet net are tied back in graceful folds and reveal —if the room's occupant is fortunate —a trace of green ■ where the trees outside are ailj houetted against the sky.

advocates the “sh>w and safe policy.' Insist upon a year’s probation perioc to protect both the baby and the fam lly, says the committee, and refers t< Teddy's tragedy and others like it. The childless couple go into a nurs ery of 50 infants, varying in age from one day to two years. Invariably they select tlie six-month-old infant as the' most appealing. The reason back of this, baby psychologists tell us. Is sound. At six months the baby's “curve of resistance” has not devel-! oped. It will cuddle into the arms of a blue-coated policeman, or a silk-1 swathed matron. It lias no bobbles,' fads, or preferences. It likes us, no' matter what we are. And we Mke It, no matter who we are. The factors that make the six-month-old baby the most attractive to, adopt, make it tlie most dangerous to take into a family circle. It Is too, early, even the experts agree, defi-j nitely to postulate its mental future. | "It Is all right," says C. V. Wil-' Hams, superintendent of the Illinois’ Children's Home and Aid society, “to, give the child of known normal parent- j age the privilege of being sent into a ( family for a probation period. But i tlie other class, those whose known antecedents, make tlie infant's mental | progress uncertain, should be placed in an Institution or a private boarding home, where It can tie carefully ami scientifically watched."

spent improperly by the government. They demand. $156,000,000 and interest for the Black Hills and surround ing territory, charging that the United States, aware of that area's wealth In gold, connived in Its seizure by armed force in 1834 and 1875. The suit will specify a price of 3100 an acre for the gold-bearing land, on which one mine has produced hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of the mln eral. The price of S3O an acre will bs asked for the timbered area now In eluded id the Black Hills forest re serve. An accounting by tha United State, under all tte treaties with the Sious ■nd the acts of congress affecting theit property will also be demanded, ft be Ing charged that the government has defaulted in its written promises and failed to perform Its solemn obligations. About twenty-five thousand Individ ual claimants are Interested In ths suit, •ccordlng to counsel for the Indiana, and it is intended through the action "to settle all tha long standing disputes between the Sioux and the United States." The attorney* estlmated it would take from five to ten years to try the case in the Court ot Claims and in the Supreme court.

Cook, Retired Farmer, of 716 N. sth street, Tells of an Interesting Experience. There is nothing like a talk with one of our own citizens for giving hope and encouragement to the anxious sufferer from the dread kidney disease. Wei therefore, give here an interview with a Decatur man: “1 have used Doan's Kidney Pills for attacks of kidney complaint." says Mr. Cook “My kidneys were in such a condition that I had trouble witii my back if 1 over-worked. My back was so lame aud stiff I could hardly bend. My kidneys acted irregularly, too. I used Doan's Kidney Pills from tlie Holthouse Drug Co. and they were just what 1 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 Pills—the same that Mr. Cook had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo. N. Y.
