Governor Walton was hanging on by an eye lash this morning but his fight is nearing the end if the vote in the senate on the question of continuing the impeachment hearing can be taken as a warning. And evidently it can be. Purdue experts have perfected a new carburetor which increases the mileage from your car one-fourth and that's something worth while. Bulletins number five and eleven tell you all about it and you caa get them on. request and without cost. Since there is u car for every eight people in the United Slates, this little announcement ought to be of considerable interest to about everybody. The agricultural board don't know whether they loaned $155,000 to Governor McCray oy the Kentland Loan & Discount bank. No one else seems to know. We are sure we don't but everybody feels the board was real accommodating and wonder if they would treat every citizen of Indiana as nice as that. By the way, wouldn't you think the records would show to whom the money was loaned and what surety was given? If a threat made by an attornely representing the General Electric company is curried out. Portland may have a city plant without any power. They bought the turbines three years ago and gave notes for $13,000 which have not been paid as due. The electric company' offers to accept a payment of $3,000 and let the balance drag along but it seems even that amount cannot be raised. For several years the city of Portland has been having financial difficulties and rumors are that, a “show down” will come soon. And we know here from experience some years ago just how bad they feel about it. Decatur can have a country chib and a golf course if a hundred men who can afford it will enter in the proposed corporation. While it will hot pay dividends in money it will bring splendid returns in health. It will be worth all it < osts you if you live a few years longer, won’t it? And there is but little question that the man who communes with nature, who exercises regularly and who breathes fresh air occasionally, outlives the fellow who sticks at bis desk seven days a week. It means also greater pleasure for your family and a splendid thing for the town. All in all, 'upect we better have one, don't you? With no less authority than the American College of Surgeons, it is announced that asthma amLhay fever can be relieved and cured and are more preventable than typhoid or diphtheria.

The cause is removed either by operation or treat- , ment and the trouble is soon over. r r Is the League of Nations a political issue? The question is revived by r the action of the University of Michigan in refusing the use of a university building for a public meeting to diss cuss the league, the refusal being bass ed on the judgment that the league is 0 a political question. From one point 8 of view the university is justified j Thut is to say, whether the league 0 ought to be made a political matter is i> a question, but that it has been made * a political matter is a fact. The mo- " tives which made it a political question have been widely judged as unworthy, but unworthy or not, they succeeded. The league is u political question not only in the United States but all over the world. Which in itself would not be so reprehensible had not politics fallen to so low a plane all over the world. But politics being what they are, they besmirch 1 whatever can be brought within that category. In a profound sense all great economic questions are political —the league of nations, capital and labor, banking and currency, sanitation and education —all of these are political. There is nothing pertaining to the national welfare nor to the peace of the world that is not political. And even if the league of nations were to be raised above the mean and vicious partisanship which the University of Michigan means when it uses the term ' political,” it would still be political in the highest sense. Every university today teaches subjects that are inevitably political in character, and it is possible that most of them teach political economy with a class bias which is the foundation of partisan bias.—The Dearborn Independent. o — + + 4.q. + + + q. + + + + + + + ■> TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ + •J.

The Hillcliiubers at least have the gutts to play teams worthy of consideration while Decatur monkeys along with Huntington and some of those teams.” Leady sure does like Huntington. AlJright, if Wabasli joins the conference next year, maybe we can play a real team. Muncie is expecting its biggest football crowd next Saturday when Portland plays there. Portland is taking two car loads of fans and it 1 is home-coming day at Muncie. The big crowd should see a real football game, too. When the Yellow Jackets lineup against the Logansport Red Devils in the city of bridges next SaturJav, they will be up against probably the strongest team they have played this season. It will take sixty full minutes of real football and fight to the finish to win. The boys are out to win. Let's all pull for a victory.

PROTECT YOUR HEALTH Storiaa Dealing With Care Os The Body And Treatment Os Dieeasea (By Benj. F. Beavers, M. D.)

I Editor’s Note —Most of us are interested In articles which tell us how we can live longer, how we can take better care of our bodies and how to best treat wounds and especially is tills true when we know who is giving this information. We are sure our readers will be delighted to read a series of articles written by Dr. Benj. F. Beavers, M. D., of this city, the first of which will appear in this paper with a chapter each week. The articles are written in understandable language and touch upon matters of interest to all. WHAT ARE BACTERIA? To be able to understand the best ways of preventing disease, and how to care for the health of the body, one must know something about the cause of disease. There are many different causes of disease, and yet they may be grouped I under a few headings. Very frequent- 1 ly perhaps, people have heard' their , physician refer to the term “germ": or "bacteria." Bacteria are small forms of plant lifg. which are present in nature nearly everywhere. Some of them cause disease. Ityt all diseases are due to bacteria, but a great number of them are. For example, pneumonia, typhoid fever, tuberculosis, leprosy, diphtheria, gonorrhoea, anthrax, and lock jaw are all diseases caused by bacteria. As one would not expect to reap wheat if he planted pumpkin seeds, so is it with bacteria. The typhoid bacteria will always in their own way, and grow only under conditions which are favorable to themselves. It is hard for a great number of people to believe that there are such things as bacteria, because they have never been seen. Yet they can be I seen with the microscope. The bacteria of tuberculosis are long and have

- rounded cuds. Certain bacteria of • pneumonia are found in shape and - have the peculiarity of grouping them- > reives in pairs. In general bacteria s are of three different forms—round, . long and spiral. The long ones are . called bacilli; the round cocci; I and the spiral ones, spirilli. The bacteria of tuberculosis are long, so they are called tubercular bacilli, etc. Bacteria not only can be seen, but they can be grown in the labratory. By so doing, labratory men have learned much kbout the different kinds of bacteria. Not all diseases are due to bacteria. iut do all bacteria cause disease. In fact we could not do without them, for they are useful to us in many ways. Some of the useful purposes which they serve are as follows: 1. They cause the decaying of dead bodies and other organic matter, I and thus cause them to be taken up . by the soil. 2. Plants like clover have bacteria within their roots, which have the power of taking nitrogen from the air and adding it to the soil. Nitrogen is necessary for the soil to grow other crops. So it is necessary to plant i clover or some crop like it every three or four years. 3. Bacteria aid in the tanning of leather. 4. They did in the production of artificial rubber. 5. They cause the souring of milk. 6. They cause the change of cider into vinegar. Bacteria are therefore both useful and destructive. The useful ones can also cause destruction as in the infection of wounds, anti in the formation of "blood poisoning,” or "sepsis.” The treatment of wounds and the prevention of “blood poisoning” we will consider the next time.
