OLD TAVERN FULL OF (Continueo from Page One) such onslaughts as husky coonskin cap wearers instinctively demanded. Years and years before the steam engine had been born, hospitality of that tavern reigned supreme. What stories were swapped therein. What animated animosities, religious, economic and political, were threshed threadbare. Landlords came and went. Cooks appeared pnfl vanished. Venison and wild turkey, the gray and read and fox squirrel and the possom, gave way to beans and corn bread and sow belly when the hard days of the civil war were on and then with peace once more the jaded travelers were unneccessarily tempted with feeds that makes one’s mouth water to remember, , They were swashbuckling folks, those guests of long ago and the landlord was, of course, a man of stern discernment and of requisite physique. They had a code that was scrupulously kept and ’while to our more effeminate sensibilities the boisterous manners of early days might'shock a little, yet, on the whole none need be ashamed of conduct or of honor. One might smile to remember that rack upon "ack was placed* for rifles long and pistols of a hugeness. .Blankets and squaw shoes and leggings of deer had a cherished place aside the fireplace when snow and wet were all outdoors. Pipes and slabs of chewing tobacco bulged beside the trusty hunting knife. Many a time, mine host was gladdened when some clever hunter traveler stopped for a lodging and swung a gift of young buck deer off of his saddle toward the landlord. A peep into the old inn's cash drawer would be illuminating. Continental scrip, may be, deer hides, coon skins, the muskrat, shinplasters, Confederate scrip, silver dollars, of course, and gold eagles and gold double eagles, would give one an eye full. The money till at the bar had V.o doubt all this and a peck or two of “I-O-U’s.” Let s see, fifty from one hundred leaves fifty, and this is the year ’23, that makes seventy-three years. Seventy-three years of service, honorable service. Not a bad record, '.fiink we. Last summer, \Vc motored many times to the old tavern for an evening meal. The river road from Decatur was delightful and the tavern ’service was fine. Two ladies are and have be'u for years the landladies in charge and they are kind and friendly and the food is good and the old parlor is as hospitable as of yore and the bar room is a forgotten dream and around and about the tav, rn i; an atmosphere of welcome ami of oldness that makes a trip there a joy and an invitation for succeeding ones. One Death From White Plague Each 5 Minutes Indianapolis, Ind. Dee.. 15 —One person in the United States dies every five minutes of tuberculosis according to .a statement given out by Murray A. Auerbach, Executive Secretary of the Indiana Tuberculosis Association, which is conducting the annual Seal Sale throughout ninety-two Hoosier counties. ''Tills tremendous loss of life costs Indiana and the ot.l’c; states enori muos sums'annually. Mr. Auerii.' . lt said. "It has been estimated that a tuberculosis patient is under care for an average of two and Jliree ra-ears. Probably for at least orfe year of that time he is unable th earn money. Considering all occupations ■ we can conservatively place the annual average earnings of a person at ' one thousand dollars. Among th" nine-hundred •thousand tuberculosis cases which exist in the United States, therefore, nine hundred million dollars apparently are being lost each year through this disease. Tuberculosis cuts off two and a hrtH years of life from the complete expectancy of every individual under present mortality conditions. If each individuals can add only one hundred dollars to the community wealth per year, tuberculosis costs the community two-hundrod million persons in tile United Stales, this is a total cost of twenty-five billions of dollars "The usual length of stay in a sanatorium is six months. The cos! of this is ajxiut five hundred dollar.. While it is not possible, nor perhaps ' necessary to give each patient san- ■ iatorium treatment, the cost of car- , ing for tuberculosis patients nm.U be : I met, whether in a sanatorium or not. I 'if all tlie.nine hundred thousand eas-1 Us existing at any; one time, in the 'country could receive either sanat'orium care or other adequate treatI ment, almost five million dollars I would be the estimated cost of caring for tuberculosis.” 0 A. D. Stone of the Harding High-1 I way stopped here a few minutes I last evening.

—*l ■'i t— WWI uri— CHARITY BODIES ARE from Page ganization which will be qnly too glad render aid to the real needy, by giving clothing, coal or food. At present the Delta Theta Tau Sorority is raising a Good Fellows Fund with which to purchase food and presents for the needy families, and especially to play Santa Claur to the children. Why not donate your offering to tills fund?-With several hundred dollars at their disposal more good con be accomplished than if each organization or society tries to carry oTc a program of its own and thus reach the family twice or threes times. If you wish to remember a family personally, all well and good, do it. The local lodge of Elks, known for their charitable work, is considering donating money towards the Good Fellows Fund and thus leave the giving Christmas baskets to the poor in the hands of one organization. Let's revive the United Christmas organization and devote our efforts along one line. What do you think about it? o Wife Os Rupert Hughes Ends Own Life In China Los Angeles, Dec. 15. —Mrs. Rupert Hughes, wife of the moted au thor, committed suicide in China, according to a cablegram received by he husband Friday night.

Monroe Schools Held Open House On Tuesday Monroe, Dec. 15 —(Special to Daily Democrat) The local school held "open house,” on Tuesday afternoon, or ’'Education for Better Schools.” The pupils of the Winchester and Sackett schools as well as many patrons visited the schools. An elaborate program had been prepared by the schools, consisting of music, singing and recitations, reading and a moving picture show. The school orchestra opened the exercises with a line selection, after which the pupils of the local and visiting schools followed with songs, recitations and reading< Miss Vera Buttley, was again at her best in her readings and was recalled to the stage the second time. The violin trio, by the Johnson brothers, and Miss Lelah Bahner was excellent. A cornet solo byHarlan Osterman was fine, ami a' vocal selection by Mrs. A. J. Miller was highly appreciated by the large crowd. A vocal solo by Master Frederick Liechty was very good. This occasion was one out of the ordinary and should be often repeated. It giv-1 ing Hie patrons of the schools more' opportunity to see what is done in the ! schools in the educational line, and | thus inspires the teachers as well as ' pupils in their work, when encouraged by the visiting of the patrons more frequent. This occasion was one of great benefit to all concerned and was patriotic as well as beneficial, especially the little tots of room No 1, by Miss Rutli Gilbert, in their saluting the flag, which inspired patriotism in the little ones, as they saluted the flag like the old veterans of the war of 1861-65.
