This is cleanup week in Decatur. Help make the campaign the greatest success on record. Clean the yard clean the house, clean the store and shop, paint up, hustle up and keep up. Well, after all, when we really stop to think it over we haven’t ever had much real nice weather before May time. Perhaps this year will not be so much different from those which have gone before, after its all averaged up. If that stall correspondent of the Indianapolis Star had tried real hard he probably could have brought out the same thoughts about we of today living longer than our forefathers, without insulting any citizen here and written just as clever a story. Two fine days right in a row. We're hardly used to it this spring but we sure do appreciate it. An even break in the weather for a week or ten days would sure mean a lot to the farmers of this section, for whom we are sure we speak when we say in advance. Thank you Mr. Weatherman. An Anderson dude flirted with a young woman the other day and got

mixed up in all kinds of trouble, including a licking that he will not soon forget. The lady was the wife of the , chief of police and the sheik will prob- i ably seek his fortune elsewhere before long. Decatur should have a hundred houses and we believe that they could be sold on reasonable terms as quickly as completed. Looks like a real opportunity for wise investors. Lots can be bought at low prices, materials fe. ... is a demand and its the only way in which we can grow. Lets build some houses. "I am in love with Decatur," said a man to who has Init recently moved here and he expressed himself 'as pleased with our Wonderful shade trees, our well lighted streets and our better than average homes, without palaces or lints. And we hope Ibis man will never be disappointed. We are sure he will find our people the salt of the earth, measuring up in every way and that the longer he lives here, the better he will like it. You can make no mistake buying a farm in Adams county at the present prices. Rest assured that one of these days it will be hard to find a real bargain like those offered now by many sources. When you can own a farmsplendidly for less than the buildings cost, there can be no great danger in thus investing. If we owned a farm we wouldn't sell now but if we wanted to buy one, right mfw is the time to do it. This is "Hoys Week" and more important than you may think. Its the one week out of the fifty-two set apart for paying particular attention to the youngsters who before very long will be the men who are doing things. Perhaps a few words now, a little directing, a little aid will make sonte boy see things clearer, make Idm more valuable to the community and to his state and nation. Help the boys observe this week. You need no longer accept the word of newspaper reporters concerning the gravity of the flood situation in

' Mississippi. Arkansas and Loulsanu. Herbert Hoover, secretary of com- ■ : merce and Major Jadwin, chief of the army engineers have completed an, investigation and declare that the loss | is »200,000.000, that a half million uro| homeless and that many have lost their lives and many more are in danger. Vassar college girls must forego the cigaret, if they expect to make any of the teams. The Athletic association has just ruled that "no girl who goes out for a major sport may smoke during tlie time, from one week before the first game until the end of the season.” "In the case of track," the ruling says, "the prohibition covers, the entire period of training.” Mem-. hers of the Athletic Board explained that tlie rule is modeled on similar ones in mens colleges.

We are more than pleased that this | splendid community, than which there is none better, has so generously and willingly answered the Red Cross call' for funds for the flood sufferers in the] southwest. According to Secretary I i Herbert* Hoover of the commerce department. the disaster is one of the worst which has ever occurred in this i . country. Don’t be afraid to give. If i we subscribe twi e our quota the money can and will be used to advantage and not a penny will be wast- i ed. Its a great chance to help a real cause. Don’t pass it up. Don’t die of cancer, it isn’t necessary. At the age of forty, one out of every ten persons has a cancer; 100.000 die of cancer in the United States every year. At least 75,000 die un- 1 I ‘ necessarily. Autopsies show that thousands, dead of old age. take cancers to the grttve with them. Pay attention to any strange growth on the body. A few seconds’ work will often prevent a cancer spreading. Above all, keep in good condition, with regu ■ lar sleep, moderate exercise, much fresh air and your blood will take care of the cancer, advises Arthur 1 Brisbane in his editorial column.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT MONDAY, MAY 2,1927.

ADDRESS GIVEN BY 0. F. GILLIOM Berne Man Speaks At U. B. Church Here, Telling Os Conditions Abroad Sunday marked a good day in the local United Brethren church, both in the morning and evening services. Plans are being made for a fitting observane of Mother's Duy next Sunday, in both morning and evening services. Sunday was the Anniversary Day of the Christian Endeavor Society of the denomination and a special address was delivered in the evening by O. F. I Gilliom. of Berne. Mr. Gilliom gave a ! wonderful address and drew some challenging conclusions from his rei cent visit in Europe. Europe, unlike America is living in | the past, Mr. Gilliom said. They see nothing in the future, that is. the ordinary man. A tremendous debt hangs over them, and heavy taxes keep poverty among the lower class. While r not removed from the recent war military tactics and preparations are a great concern tor a future day. Mr. Gilliom called forth that Christianity was the only means of saving the world and the gospel of peace should be pleached, taught and practiced. He spoke of the need of greater service to the church, a loyalty to Christ and his cause, and a vital fellowship with Christ and a cultivation of fellowship with Christian folks. o “Butter anti Egg Man" By Wright Players Is Best Comedy of Season As the “angel” for a broken down, bankrupt stage production "the butter and egg man” uses his wits to avert disaster. This is the keynote of an interesting and extremely funny show at the Majestic theatre. Fort Wayne, this week. The Wifght Flayers, in presenting this play, are offering Northern Indiana another New York success which did not reach this section in its road tour. “The Butter and Egg Man” is a novelty comedy drama, with many surprises; sophisticated, humorous and entertaining throughout. There is never a dull momnet and and the action is fast. The story centers about off-the-stage life of actors, actresses and producers of shows. A young man with a limited amount i f capital, unlimited confidence in himself and in the money made In the show business, reaches New York and promptly falls into the hands of two unscrupulous producers who proceed to unload a “lemon” show upon him. He invests all his money and finds himself with a white elephant on his hand. How his small town shrudeness defeats the crooks and how he unloads the show back upon them just before the police close it down is the center of the plot. The usual Wednesday and Saturday i bargain matinees will be offered. Seats are selling fast and immediate reser--1 rations by pail or long distance telephone are urged. Advt-ltx *' NOTICE * All members of the Brotherhood of American Yeomen are urged to attend the meeting Monday evening at the Yeoman Hall. Installation of officers will take plaxe at that time and other business of importance. Theie will be a real chicken feted after lodge. Come have a good time.

Bad Stomach Caused Fearfuljuffering Was Bloated, Nervous, Sleepless and Dizzy. Entirely Well Now. “I suffered with a breakdown five I years ago. It just seemed as if everything was the matter with me. I had blood pressure, a bad stomach, constipation, and I was so nervous I would just shake. I could not sleep at night. My nerves just jumped. My stomach would bloat and cramp and the gas would press back my heart till I thought maybe I had organic heart trouble. My bowels would hardly move even with 1 a laxative, and never without one. I had dizzy spells and would stagger and almost fall. I did not have any appetite, and what I did eat wouldn’t stay down. I tried different medicines, but only got a little relief. Then hearing from friends about Viuna, I started taking it. Right from the first it helped me, and now I feel fine, as good as I ever did in my life. I eat anything and everything, have a good appetite, . my bowels are in good shape, my nervousness is practically gone. I am a man 70 years of age,' and if Viuna helps everyone like it has me, it sure is wonderful.”—-Alexander Black, Gaston, Ind. Viuna acts promptly on sluggish 1 bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. It i purifies the blood, clears the »kin, restores appetite And digestion, and brings • new strength and energy to the whole I body. Take a bottle on trial. Then if .
