Though Auburn is several hundred less in population, according to the census, than Decatur, they are to get a handsome new postoffice building. Has Mr. Hogg, who has served but one term in congress more ‘'pull” than Mr. Vestal who has represented the eighth district for ten years? The louder those eastern capitalists talk about "unheard of prosperity,” the lower drops the price level of farm products. It is now slightly over pre-war level while other products continue at from one to five hundred per cent over. It that normalcy? The parliament of Japan has just passed a bill appropriating $1,400,000 for the burial of the late emperor, t Yoshihito, on February 10th. The casket is to weigh four tons and the i parade will excel in lavishness any ; thing since the days of the Pharaohs, i Perhaps they figure its worth that i much. Now Cobb and Speaker are talking ■ sense. They propose to file suit for damages because they have been wrongfully charged, as they allege, ( with having thrown a game some six ( or seven years ago. If the stofies as < given out by Landis and Johnson are 1 untrue the proper remedy is in the 1 courts and there is considerable likelihood of receiving fat judgments. How about it, have you prepared "V the old days we all used to “swear off” regularly and one of the items of news was a list of those who had fallen off the "water wagon” each week. You may not include that one in the list but there are some to take its place—for instance, careful driving. According to the report of Secretary Mellon to congress, 287,000 taxpayers would benefit by the refund of $174,000,000 legally collected for 1927 and prior years and we presume that just 287,000 people will therefore be in favor of the bill. The only trouble with it is that the moneywill be refunded to millionaires -who do not need it instead of going to those who could use it in a hundred places at this after Christmas season. Dr. Kress, noted nerve specialist of Washington, declares that unless the ■women of America quit smoking cigarettes, the race is doomed and we believe him. Curious as it may seem, cigars and cigarettes are more injurious to women than to men and no one has ever argued that they particularly prolonged the life of man. For women they shatter their nerves, ruin their voices, mar their beauty and "pickle" their skin. Something else to worry about — Frank B. Taylor, geologist. Fort Wayne, has figured out that Niagara •Falls will be dry in about three thousand years. Personally we don't think Frank has any Idea how Niagara will look in the year 5,100 and its our guess that it will be just as u’tractlvc for the brides and grooms as it is now. Any way, few people living today will be bothered by the "lake tilt” unless they have staged a “come back.” - With all due respect to William Pctuy. prosecuting attorney! of Marion county who proposes to renew

this investigations with the new grand f jury which convenes next Monday, we believe there is more chance of n much needed clean up in the plan advanced by Thomas H. Adams, who i proposes an organization which will ■J stage a fight for a real investigation tin the legislature. The difficulties experienced by Prosecutor Remy in the grand jury which has just reported will probably be encountered again. ? While we may not agree with all i the arguments advanced by “John * Smith, farmer,” in the "People's ► I Voice” column of this paper, we are 1 glad that he has stated his position. We wish some one, just as able, would reply and in the same fair manner. Thats the purpose of the column which can be made the most interesting in the paper if our readers wilt take advantage of it. We want you to express yourselves on these questions of general interest and we believe that an open discussion would be beneficial to the community and helpful to those in authority. With the regrets of their church membership particularly and the citizens of Decatur in general, but with every good wish for their future Stic- | cess. Rev. B. N. Covert and family < left today for South Bend where Rev. i Covert will assume the pastorate cf Sunnyside Presbyterian church. During the five years they hav e lived here Rev. and Mrs. Covert have formed many friendships which will endure and have assisted in numerous ways in making this a better com- ' munity. Rev. Covert is a talented 1 minister, a splendid man among men, a hard worker and his good wife has 1 proven a wonderful help to him. She is a capable organist and her work among the young people here was most effective. We wish for them many years of continued success and we are sure they will soon be as ( popular in South Bend as they are ( here. o i ♦++* + + + ; ?• TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ Twenty Years Ago This Day. ♦ ♦ From the Daily Democrat File ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦+♦♦♦♦♦ Dec. 29. —Superintendents for the 1 Grqat Northern Indiana fair to be held first week in August are: Speed, 11. ‘ O.

D. Member Gorgas Memorial Institute (Written for the United Press) Chicago, (United Press) —Disturbances of nutrition in childhood are due often to insufficient or insuitable food to any other cause. In many instances food is relatively insufficient, although it seems sufficient in amount, the explanation being that its caloric value is low in spite ot its bulk. In other instances the caloric value is sufficient, but the relat.on of the food elements to each other unsuitable or the food value cannot bo, utilized. Milk is a food which contains all the elements necessary for growth and development. Furthermore, it contains them in almost the ideal proportions.

Milk contains all the vitamins in sufficient amounts, evcept possibly the antiscorbutic. This possible deficiency is unimportant because the lack is made up in the fruit and vegetables which the child eats.
