The supreme court showed !>r. Shumaker they meant it by reversing another liquor decision yesterday. They held that an unlawful arrest cannot be the foundation for a lawful search as provided in the' Wright law and now We wflt see whether the doctor has the nerve to come back at them again. With the prisons full to overflowing it seems that a lot of fellows are just trying to make their life’s miltbit ion a cell in one of the state Institutions. Leroy Lewarh, a Mtfnele

youth guv c liimsdf up the other (lay anil told the police lie was wanted in Fort Wayne for setting lire to the Olds Coal company's plant. They took the lad to Fort Wayne and ■sentenced him to the reformatory to from two to fourteen years. They arc talking now about tire advisability of taking all the crime stories out of the newspapers. There is no danger of the American people favoring any thing which would make the daily paper so dull and drab. We doubt that the publication of these stories cause more crime for the lessons taught should bring good Between the lines it is easy to read the utter futility of the life of a criminal. Senator Blcase of South Carolina declared yesterday that liquor of the real hard old-fashioned brand with a kick like a southern mute is being sold right under the dofnc of the capitol and offered to prove it by buying a drink for any doubting Thomas without leaving the building. At least the statement should startle the administration so widely advertised and supported as being dry, into an investigation. Hav e you bought stock in ofre of the local loan associations? Its so easy and so important. All you have to do is to make your application and begin paying in a monthly sum which may he any amount in accordance with the number of shares you subscribe for. You will draw good dividends and will be helping your com*lllllll ity by enabling those who so desire to build now- homes. That assures a growth of the city. Don't put it off longer. Jake Nesbitt, a few years ago a football star at Ohio State, yesterday confessed to the murder of his wife, Frances Drake Nesbitt, a former tennis champion, three weeks ago, in their Troy, Ohio, home, following a quarrel. The murder created all kinds of gossip and Nesbitt assisted the officers and newspaper men in running down many clues. They were known as an ideal couple oxid wore pointed out as models by parents in the Ohio city, so you never can tell just how the other half of the world does live. Jack Dempsey and Harry Wiils, colored, hav6 signed Agreements to meet for the world's championship, some where next Labor Day.

While we doubt very much that the straw votes on the prohibition question indicate the way of the wind, yet the facts remain that the idea will' furnish a lot of propaganda that will frighten politicians into a position and will probably make the question an issue in an election wlthfn the next couple of years. Polls taken by metropolitan newspaper ballots over the country show a nine to one sentiment for modification of the Volstead law. NoW similar polls are being •taken In some of the smaller cities and among the rural folks and these will at least be of interest in comparison.

“Your Health” Thlg Column Is conducted by the Adams County Medical Society and the Indiana State Medical Association in the interest of the publics health. AN UNPAID WAR DEBT ••Nations mwt pay their physical tit well as tlielr financial war debts, und in either ease the process is slow und painful,” sqys the Bulletin issued this week by the Publicity Bureau of the Indiana State Medical Association. The Bulletin follows. •When war comes and great masses of people ure gathered together. naturally millions of microbes, grand armies of germs, and battalions of bacilli are mobilized and" are all ready for their devastating attack on public health. •Although physicians do all they can to locate and keep these microbes in line, some of these hidden bolshevik germs are sure to escape medical inspection and disease will break out among the human battalions. As a result, when the war Is over and the troops ure demobilized, the gel ms of many diseases are spread over the country and permeate the civilian population no matter how systematic he inspections, and hew efficient the ‘decootieizers’. This was true of typhoid fever during and following the Spanish-Amerlcan War before medical science solved a method of control for this disease and for influenza. meningitis, and the ailment called 'trench mouth’ during and following the World War. Much has been said abont meningitis and ’flu' but very little about ’trench mouth.’ or what is known as Vincent’s Angina. and although Ihe mud of the Tenches lias long since dried, many Americans who never saw a front line trench are paying a physical war debt today in the form of trench mouth’ —a disease which was scarcely known in America before the war. “•'Trench mouth’ is an infection which may be transmitted by contact, with drinking cups, dirty dishes or towels that have been used recently by some one having the disease. From a medical standpoint ‘trench mouth' is an unusual disease, for whereas most diseases are caused by one organism, ‘trench mouth’ is the result of Infection from two organisms which are found associated in every qase. “When first attacked by ‘trench mouth’ most persons will consult their dentist, and rightfully so, for symptoms of the disease often are ushered in with painfully bleeding gums. The tongue, roof of the mouth, and tonsils may also he affected. These symptoms may be sufficiently severe to interfere with eating or cause the loss of teeth due to receding gums. The duration of the disease If not treated at all is indefinite, and if insufficiently treated, this disease is npt'to recur. Ihe condition should not lie confused with pyorrhea and ulcerated tongue due to indigestive disorders and otheT causes, or any of the more serious diseases such as diphtheria anil tonsillitis. “Treatment for ‘trench month’ consists of an applicaion of local antiseptics, and in recent years the stronger dyes have been found to be effective in the treatment of most cases. Some eases, however, are so severe that internal treatment is necessary. ’Trench mouth’ should be looked after immediately, for if it is allowed to continue, the person is likely to lose many of l*is teeth. Locally a mouthwash of peroxide may help, for the organisms do not seem to flourish when they come in con tact with it.” Body Ouard To President Lincoln During Civil War Dies At Lafayette, Age 81 Ijafuyette, Ind., Mar. 13. — (United Press) —John Miner, 81, who served as a body guard to President Lincoln during the Civil dead at his I Lome here, following an attack of pneu mouia.
