There are more than 17,000,000 ‘telephones hi this country and if you ask the average central girl she will tell you that usually they are all trying to call through at the same time. The quicker they pack the Countess Cathcart up and send her back to England, bag and baggage, the better it will be for this country. We don’t know much about her case but her social activities since arriving in New York have not been exactly elevating. President Coolidge told the delegation of farmers which called on him yesterday that he knew the conditions and was in sympathy with them but failed to declare in favor of the legislation they asked. Do you • suppose he put it over with them • again? Mayor Dever denies that Chicago is -a bad town and says it just seems •worse than others because its bigger ■ than most of them. Os course a - murder a day as has been advertised • by tile papers of that city, is a fairly good average and if the officials of the “Windy City” wish to convince the public they can handle affairs there, they will have to get busy and clean up some of the resorts and dives. Get ready for another bunch of in- i spectors. The state fire marshall has ordered out his crew and expects to • make 10,000 inspections during the : next few mouths. They will order many buildings removed, will insist . that others be immediately repaired. The system is perhaps alright in most ' cases but it would be cheaper and , perhaps as well all around if it was done by the local fire chief and a board of safety. Basketball and politics arc the | absorbing topics in Indiana this week with the former having the best of • it.. The sectional tournaments starting today all over the state and the . district scraps next week and the state tourney the next one will attract the attention of a million Hoosier fans. In the meantime politics can wait or drag along until the important matter of choosing the champions is over. Seven thousand woolen mill workers at. Passaic, New Jersey, are on strike and it is so serious tnat the militia will probably be called out, a stock market decline shakes Wall street, railroaders are considering a walk out, farmer delegations visit the president and there are other signs indicating that Herbert Hoover must •ave smiled at the ignorance of the orcpig when he issued his statement a few days ago that we had reached normalcy. The republican press is resorting to cheap politics, spreading propaganda that the democrats are leaderless, have no candidates ami not a chance in the world to win any thing next November. Now if that’s the case, why worry, why use all the space to discuss conditions as they now exist, why not just pass it up? The truth is they are frightened and are evidently whistling to keep up their ' courage or to detract attention of the vol, r« from real issues and there are ■ a number of them The farmer is up against it with a sixty cent dollar, the laboring man is not living in luxury, the road problem and the expenditure

I of state funds is important, the rec--1 ord of congress will not attract many ballots. There are a lot of reasons why the administrations of the nation and government are fearful of a discussion of real issues. Seven hundred tons of dollar bills is the annual output of the United States treasury department. Now its up to you to figure what becomes of all of them and why they are so hard to get hold of. In addition to this we tourn out fifty tons of two dollar bills, 250 tons of fives, 200 tons of tens, 100 tons of twenties, five tons of hundred, 170.000 one thousand dollar bills and 60,000 of SIO,OOO denomination. In addition to all this we turn out fifty tons of two dollar 000,000 in coins. It takes a lot of cash to operate this vast and busy country of ours. Dr. Elizabeth Conger, city pond master of Indianapolis, it develops as the result of an investigation of her office, has for eight or ten years taken care of the friendless dogs of her city, has not only returned her salary of $1,120 per year but three times that, has secured donations and purchased a large plot of ground adjacent to the pond which she has improved and in other words has built an institution without even the officials of the city realizing what she was doing. Its a very unusual case and proves that the doctor is doing the work because she loves it. During the year 19J5 the pond handled 1.000 dogs. Four employes help the master who devotes her time during the day to the practise of medicine. i The Decatur Advertising Association has decide dto stop holding the gift days which have been so popular here for a number of years and according to the decision at last nights meeting, tomorrows event will be the last. We believe that the days have been splendid and we feel that it they are abandoned some other means of trade stimulant should take its place. No community can afford in this day and ago "to just drift along, which is the danger, unless there is a co-operative effort. 57XX55XX83X X 8 8 8 8 8 8 54 X 8 X TWENTY YEAR 3 AGO TODAY 3 8 X X From the Daily Democrat File X X Twenty Years Ago This Day X &S 8 XXXBXaXXX X X X 8 8 « 3 » March 5, 1906. —Suit of S.

— A QUESTION OF SIGHT

Two travelers along a road. Each weighted with the self-same load Os happiness and care, Were chattiag as they trudged ahead. When suddenly one stopped and said: “I see a farm-house there." The other, who was near-of-sight. Looked to the left and to the right, And said: “It cannot be. There is no farm-house where you say. No roof or chimney down th e way. No smoke that I can see.” “Look in the distance,” cried his friend, “There, where the road begins to bend, You’ll catch a flash of light!”

“There is no farm-house there,” said he, “At least, not one that I can see, Although you may be right.” “Well, never mind." his friend replied. “Some day we'll reach it side by side, And you shall see it then.” "Perhaps,” said he, “but as for me. Nothing exists I cannot see.” Thus quarreled two good men. So with the great eternal life. Beyond this vale of mortal strife. Some glimpse a vision fair.

i “Your Health” This Column Is conducted I by the Adams County Medical Society and the Indiana State Medical Association in the interest of the publics health. Pretty Is That Pretty Does. Il |a mi old saying that '’llcauty | is but skin deep." and many a tncinber of the female sex has desperately attempted to prove that it is possible, to change the superficial layer of the skin and expose hidden charms beneath. Other members of the gentler sex have sought to supply by aitificial means the beauty of the skin which nature has denied to them. In both eases the attempts are apt to fail and unfortunately these attempts not infrequently end in ditaster. Several fatalities have recently been credited to so-called ''wrinkle j removers.” Otte of these occurring recently in I.os Angeles was sufficiently sensational to have th, first page of the daily press. There is at least one “wrinkle remover" said to contain 65% phenol or carbolic acid. This is to be applied over the skin of the face and neck and one the next day after the application is made the swollen and puffy area is covered with strips of adhesive tape, so that when these are removed the superficial layers ot the skin are removed with the tape. In the case of one patient, following the process the woman was unable to close one eye, the cheeks were stiff and wooden or board-like, and the patient found it impossible to eat for several days. In the case of another patient the skin, following this process fcsembled a marked case of scleroderma. The woman was permanently disfigured. In a paper recently read before the Section of Dermatology of the American Medical Association at Atlantic City, two deaths were reported as the result of this “skinning procedure” of the face and neck. Ordinary face powder frequently causes general or local imisotiing. due to the fact that seme of the cheaper varieties contain lead carbonate as well as poisonous dye stuffs for the purpose of giving an extra charm to the tint of the skin. Rouge, bp sticks and nail polishes frequently contain substances that produce an irritation □r dermatitis of the skin. Hair dyes frequently contain lead or silver and cases have been reported where a sufficient amount of these materials has beeu absorbed to produce constitutional distui bailees of a serous nature. Eruptions of the head an] face are not infrequent following the use of hair dyes. Cosmetics indiscriminately used are not without danger. It liny be that even a wide spread knowledge of the danger involved would not I ■ - cu th • use of beauty specialties or interfere with the continue deffort to improve by external decoration what can more satisfactorily be improved by soap and water, exercise and diet. Unfortunately the latter plan of beauty culture has the disadvantage of being somewhat troublesome. z • o Docket For March Session Os Pardons Board Is Announced Indianapolis, sud..
