A London official has sent out a warning that kissing dogs will cause pyorrhea, but he neglects to say whether it effects the dog or the woman. By the way. what about the Monroe street bridge? Are we going to just let those railings slide off into the river? It looks rather sloppy and lazy and that never a good thing for a county or a city.

Dr. Pierre Borinne, of Paris, says that any woman can make herself beautiful by going hungry, but most women will feel they are losing more pleasure that way than they can gain by a clear complexion. Wonder where the weatherman gets his hooch. He has certainly been seeing things wrong the past few days. He predicted rain yesterday and day before and snow today and instead we have had average sunshine or more. The air was snappy this morning, just the kind to make you throw back your shoulders and declare, “I can and will." Over ten thousand automobiles were reported stolen in the city of Detroit last year and there were but four hundred convictions of the thieves who thus engaged, its not so many years ago when an epidemic of horse stealing in the west was broken up by a series of hangings. The only trouble with applying that remedy in Detroit is that they would run out of telegraph poles. The business men of Decatur will .. I.

President Cal Peterson is hoping to have one of these meetings each month, a fine scheme and the success of which is largely up to the members of the Decatur Industrial Association. Attend and do your part. If you are assigned a duty, be sure to act. The programs can soon be made intensely interesting and exceedingly beneficial. Confectionery clerk at Fort Wayne is out for the chewing gum honors. Guess one might call it that. However, this bird specializes on the number of candy-coated balls of gum he can get into his mouth at one time, and he now stands behind the counter peacefully munching fifty-one of the little balls and says he has room for many more if pushed by anyone who seeks to take away his honor. As to capacity, we’ll allow this Fort Wayne clerk to carry on. but when it comes to fast work and talk at the same time, we have a girl down here tiiat we’ll pul against the wrold. — Dlul con Banner. Former governor of Indiana, Warren T. Met ray, has been refused the parole again asked for and must continue his residence at Atlantal They seem '.o be determined to make an example of this distinguished citizen who did not do much, if any more than many others did, but who was so unfortunate as to b ■ caught at it. II is reported by prison officials that he is In excellent health and the attorney general refused iiis approval because the prisoner's failing health was given as the chief reason for a parole. It is understood that the minimum on his teu-year sentence will be up in August at which time he can

Canada and the West Indian islands, according to the fifty-eighth annual volume of the American Newspaper Annual and Directory, published by N. i W. Ayer & Son, advertising agency of Philadelphia. However, during the' ’ year just closed, 912 newspapers and I magazines suspended .publication, so that there was recorded during the year a net gain of only ten publications in the entire field. The annual this year lists 22,200 publications | which are issued regularly. Cities and towns in which one or more newspapers are published total 10,003. For several mouths R. W. Noland, a Fayette engineer has been studying the smoke problem iu Fort Wayne. His report will be ready soon and should be of interest here as well as there. Before the city council last night Mr. Noland said: “Seventy-five per cent, of the smoke nuisance can be abated without expenditure of money. Smoke indicates improper firing and shows that some one’s money is being wasted. Simple information on proper firing methods

will be a big factor In the anti-smoke | ’ crusade.” There Is no doubt of the truth of the statements and we believe it would be to the benefit of Decatur if City Engineer Haruff would secure a copy of Mr. Noland's report and inaugurate a plan of fuel saving and I smoke abatement here. If twenty-five or fifty citizen* here would decide to build homes this year, the good to the community would be almost Immeasurable. Did you ever figure how many people are helped when a building is being erected? it helps the business of about everybody in the city iu ofie way or another. i The fact that iu many places where ' they have been erecting many houses there is a let up need not stop us. We need more homes it we are to grow and the very fact that we were getting them this year would attract a lot of attention of the right kind. And its not so impossible.

Mr. W. H Stearn lives at 1211 No. Oakland Avenue, Indianapolis. At 67 years he works steadily as a journeyman carpenter, meeting the eompetition of men half his age, and holding his own with the beat. But for six years he had a different story to tell. Here it is, in his own words: "I was so rundown from indigestion that my system was completely shattered, "hen a big contract obliged me to speed up and work overtime, mv nay’s work almost killed me. Sometimes I was actually too weak to raise my hammer or pull mv saw My head and back ached terribly, and when I tried to tend over my head whirled and I was too weak to stand on my feet. Constipation and sluggish liver bothered me and mv handtrembled from nervousness At night I tossed and rolled in bed Though my work demands plenty of food, my appetite was shot to pieces and I hardly ate enough to keep body and soul together. “Tanlac helped me so that I now eat and sleep normally again I’m as energetic as a man of 35 or and don’t have to ask odds of younger men. My appetita is like the keen edge of a freshlv honed razor and I digest mv food like a boy back from
