' WHY THAT LAME BACK? , That morning lameness — those sharp pains when bending or lifting, make work a burden and rest impossible. Don't be handicapped by a bad back look to your kidneys. You will make no mistake by following this Decatur resident's example. Mrs. Oressn Exley, 333 North Bth street, says: "1 know the value of Doan's Pills and cannot say too much for them. They have always been used In my family and when I had kidney complaint I tried them. My back ached and pained so 1 couldn't do any washing or other housework. Headaches and dizziness were constant sources of annoyance to me. My kidneys acted irregularly, too. I got Doan’s Pills from the Holthouse Drug Co. and they were not long in regulating my kidneys and relieving me of backache." Price title, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Pills —the same that Mrs. Exley had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. — - .. —e . ... THE DETERIORATION OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS The National Education association has sent out a report from Its headquarters in Washington with the starting statement that during the year the public school system of the country has barely held its own. To hold its own, as it has, it has been necessary to fight every inch of the ground. This is enough to make sober-minded Americans thoughtful. One of the , reasons offered by the association for , the gradual deterioration of the schools is that in all too many communities they have become the football of politics. That does not mean necessarily anything more than the I politicians, urged to reduce taxes, have fallen upon the schools as the place where reduced appropriations I would be the least resented. This, of course is even more of a reflection on the politicians. If the people do not resent "saving" money by wrecking or weakening the schools, the politicians! are not so culpable. The fault . is with the people themselves, and it , is most sinister fault. The truth is as I every one knows, that the average parent with children in the schools take ' but a meager interest in the schools or in their welfare. The old days * when parents occasionally found their I way to schoolhouse voluntarily, and ' , without the persuasive influence of an j organization like the Parent-Teacher I (Tube, and simply because they were I interested in the schools, have gone i with bridge and movies, golf and the ! automobiles. And so in many communities the politican are "saving money” at the expense of the schools and in most of the "cost of the i schools." The National Educational association has assembled figures to disprove the popular notion that the school has come to be a drain, by showing that the cost of the public schools of the United States represents a levy of less than one-half of one percent of the nation’s total wealth. If the schools are not worth that, they onght to be abandoned. But

PUREBRED HOGS Sale Prices For Pure Bred Hogs Lower In 1923 Than In 1922 11 Sale prices of purebred hogs for the first six months of 1923 were slightly [lower than the average for the full ’.year 1922. according to a survey recently completed by the United States Department of Agriculture. The decrease in average prices ranged from 12.30 to $4.21 per head. Average prices of all ages of both sows and boars by breeds were: Duroc Jersey $43.20; Hampshire $42.12; Poland China $39.35; Chester White low average of Berkshire is attributed partially to the fact that 64 per cent of the sales of that breed reported were pigs under eight months of age. Os all breeds, most of the stock were boars under two years of age and bred sows and gilts. Few sales of boars over two years old or of open sows and gilts were reported. The highest prices realized by breeds were: Duroc, Boars S4OO, Sows $397; Chester White, Boars $266.50; Sows $275; Hampshire, Boars $325, Sows 9180; Berkshire, Boars $l5O, Sows

$150; Poland China Boars SIOO, Sows' $l5O. The figures are based on sales of 11,985 hogs of which only 79 brought $l5O or more. Prices at auction sales were generally higher than al private sales, the difference ranging from $| to $lO according to breed, Most of the sales reported were in the corn belt, with tli ■ exception of Berkshire. The percentage of corn belt udes by breeds was: Duroc Jersey 87 per cent; Hampshire 97 per cent; Poland I ■China S 3 per cent; Chester Whlte99 per cent ami Berkshire 34 per cent. 1 ■ ■ O- — itni.iia i:i> nov* < oi<m Mrs. I.

Purdue And Indiana Have Strong Quintets Indianapolis,, Dec. 12 —Hoosierdom ‘ as represented in the Big Ten basketball race this year, promises plenty of trouble for their opponents. Hopes of the Purdue and Indiana University quintets rest largely on second year men, but these men were of such recognized ability in high school and showed so much promise on freshmen teams last year that they , are expected to fill gaps left in the lineup by graduation. Coach Lembert has three reserves of last year and nine sophmores with which to build his team. At Indiana University the five will be led by Kenneth Alward at back guard. He is not the usual size of

n player to fill that position but his ! work lust year stamped him as one of tile best in the Big Ten. Parker, the big center who towers six feet, six Inches, is back this year and Couch Mann says he will go bet ter than ever this season. Nyikos at forward Is fast on the floor and a natural basket shooter But again it is the sophmores of ! whom so initclit is expected. Sponj sior, former Bloomington high school ; is the leading candidate for the difficult job of floor guard, Logan Is (minted on to play either center or forward, while Druckmlller, an all- j I state high school selection two years ago, is slated for the forward lietrth I Besides these there are a number of other varsity men, such as Knoyl and Coffey, who are finished players.
