'fhe annual message from Mayor r, IteVosH to the city council is a sound, r eimible and reasonable one, in r- which he urges strict economy but sufficient progress that it will be noticeable and worth while. He favors more ornamental lump posts, new lire fighting equipment when it can ;a I.- paid for ami other improvements. 8 Ills report shows that during the *0 g last year more than fifty thousand 0 dollars was expended at the city 6 plant and every cent paid out of earn--0 j: ig s. Decatur did a total electric 0 business of >133,000 and the water refl , z -ipts reached about >27,000. The best thing in the report is the fa ft that every fund and department show- , I a balance at the end of the year. That's good business, that's the way you want it and thut's the way to reach a point where the city will be in first class condition. Please remember that along with this the city reduced its tax levy last September. Its a splendid showing and the mayor and his council are certainly entitled to commendation from every good 1 cl’izen. We are likely to overlook 1 tile good things done by careful officers as long as things are running alright but we should show sufficient interest in these public matters to read carefully the annual reports and io suggest those things you feel a benefit. Mayor DeVoss and every i < mb' r of the council and the other city officiate are anxious to please you. Give them sincere support. It means much for the community. o ■ * Faith marched at the front.

Jan—Women men, leers of the Democratic national committe today won a fight for "equal representation” with men - among the delegates at large to the 1924 convention in New York June 24. o CAPACITY CROWD (Continued From Page One) What 1 want to impress upon you. mo-t of all Is the fact that by paying the cost of a true Christian life you receive something worth a great deal more than you pay for it. You re-! reive protection from the assaults of sin and consequent diseases which sap and ruin the life, blighting it for lime and eternity. Christianity protects character and enhances ones influence and usefulness in this life. To get the full force of this argument you need only look at the number of men and women, eaten up with cancer of stomach, liver and body—victims of sinful habits, or at the large number of once promising young people whose lives are in the discard today because of sinful habits. They tell us that there are l?.n<Mi college graduates among the down and outr of New York City. A true Christian lite from early youth is a sure wartant against such indiscriminate shipwreck. of life. Then Christianity ennobles, life It magnifies our talents and gifts. Il places us in Hue fol helpful service, as well us procures for us peace and happiness and mental and spiritual contentment on earth. It is an old saying that >The .devil has no happy old people” and I believe a true saying tor I have never s«en such a creature. The Word Says "The wicked shall not live out half their days” if they do they will be unhappy days. In a word. Christianity pays beci;>ne it takes in all of life and provides for all lite. It is profitable tor this life and for the life to come. It provides for our dual nature -our physical and spiritual natures, our temporal and out. eternal natures. And th<-n It appeals to the heroic in us—something that should comfffrnd Christianity to all strong, vigorous, healthy minded young people. I can commend it to you because it has been the best of all investments to i me. y i r ■ ■ —“I To Cure a Cold in One Day > T “ ke SK2) Bromo | 1 Quinines ‘ Xk Jr The ionic and luxuGvh ciks’t of Laxutivo BRoMo ' i QUININE Tablets will fortify (Ito symcm agHHibt Influcuza and other serious ills resulting from n Cold.
