What discourages us Democrats is the way the G. O. P. can wash its hands of Teapot Dome ami then put its halo right back on.— Dallas News. Do you remember nine years ago tomorrow when the news was flashed around the world that an armistice had been signed ami the World war was over? It was a slip of some kind and the war really did not end until a few days later, but this country celebrated any way and what a celebration it was. There were 180,56 S divorces in this country last year as compared to 175.419 the year before. Figure it out ami you will find a gain of 3.1%. During the same time 1.202,079 marriage licenses were issued, a gain of 1.2% over the pervious year. In other words divorces increase more rapidly than marriages. Whats that mean? Ruth Elder may be a flapper, may like to wear tine gowns and use her lip stick, may have a mania for getting on the first pages of the newspapers, but she was wise enough to publicly decline a glass of champaign. She should know and perhaps does that wine or other alcoholic drinks will not mix with gasoline or the ambitions of real air flyers. Fort Wayne's list of dead as the result of the infantile paralysis epidemic has reached four, the last one occuring Saturday with Mrs. B. I. Wagner as the victim. There are still eight cases in that vicinity but it is hoped and believed the present cold snap will help to control the disease' sb there will be no more new cases. Some of you young fellows ofl seventy-five or eighty, who think you opght to hobble around with a cane 1 should pep up when you hear that Tom Cheek, for three quarters'of a century a successful race horseman, has concluded a winning season here and just shipped for Cuba where he expects to double his $6,000 bank roll. Cheek is 103 years old. A “committee of one thousand’’ with the purpose of advocating the enforcement of laws, particularly the Volstead aud the eighteenth amendment. has been organized in NewYork City. It ought to be a good cause and should start with a resolution that none of the thousand or others who support it are to indulge in the occasional highball, now so popular in high society. The temperature struck an air pocket Saturday and dropped almost out of sight. For several weeks the average had broken all high records but when the bottom dropped out the mercury settled rapidly until at eight o'clock Saturday evening it was down to about twenty-five. Today was wanner and while the predictions are for several days of the cold snap there are a lot of optimistic folks who insist Indian summer has just begun. Senator Charles Curtis, one-fourth Indian, of Kansas, is so far the only avowed Republican candidate for president and Josephus Daniels, former secretary of the navy and wellknown newspaper writer and publisher. proposes to nominate against him, the famous Bill Rogers, humorist, rough rider, lariat thrower ams thinker. Whetliet; thatsT a joke by the usually sober and solemn Josephus or

■ ■ ■ a test of the public pulse, we don't P know, but there are a lot of folks who I think Rogers is about the smartest man in the world, and would delight i to vote for him. ••' _____________ r. I t We are getting back »o normalcy. . | The war department will very soon ' now restore the statue of Frederick the Great of Prussia to the place it 2 occupied for many years prior to the o[ war in front of the army war college ?

It is the plan adopted by numerous cities? large and small to raise each year in 1 4 one drive the funds for public purposes for the entire year. In several 3 instances this year the campaign fail--1 ed to secure the amount proposed and l > evidently needed. The people are sick and tired of drives and prefer to ’ give when they want to and what they ■ want to, rather than to have the des tails arranged by committees. r - 1 Among the interesting election 1 contests tomorrow is the one between ,-' Senator Beckman, democrat and 1 J Judge Sampson, republican, forthe 1 Kentucky governorship, the issue being “horse racing.” Strange as it may i seem Beckman is the leader of those > who oppose the peri-mutuels as a . means of securing state revenues, . while the republican favors a continuation of this form of securing easy money. The stand taken by the two men has of course divided political I parties and the contest has been a red hot one. * TWENTY YEARS AGO * * * ¥ From the Daily Democrat File ♦ * Twenty Years Ago Today ♦ *¥¥¥*¥¥****** Nov. 7, 1907—Hou.

GEV. COIL GIVES - STRONG SERMON i “The G re a t Confession" “ Discussed In Sermon At Christian Church t e Rev. A. A. Coil preached another B great sermon at the Christian church g last night. Ais subject was, "The Great Confession.” He introduced 8 1 his them# hy calling attention to the of the Apostle Peter, as b found in the 16th chapter of the Goet 1 pel of St. Mathew. The audience was held in rapt attention as this splendid scholarly preacher drove home point after point- He said in -part: ’ | “It does make a difference what men ‘| think of Christ. Christ Himself set -‘the standard of thought concerning ,' Himself. As of old, you will find men j*today who mouth lheir opinions about the person of Christ. The pivot upon which the eternal destiny of the soul turned, is what men think, and what they confess concerning Christ. God I is not satisfied with a half-way ap- • proach. He not only asks men to , believe unto righteousness, but with the mouth to make confession unto salvation.” At the close of the services, three people came forward and were received into the church. i A great deal of spiritual force is t j being given the revival by the fine ! I work of Mt; and Mrs- Hess, singers. Mr. and Mrs. Hess have organized a “Boaster Choir” made up of the chil- ' dren of the community. This new element was introduced into the ser- - vices for the first time last night and Ihe audience greatly enjoyed their singing. Appreciation was expressed by the i pastor for the splendid cooperation being given by the sister churches in the community. Tho statement was again made that the revival was for the benefit of the whole community. The services will begin tonight at 7:30 o'clock.

Dear Sir: About twice a year 1 go to see Jerri Coffee of Los Angeles, aud formerly of Decatur, and while there a short time ago, he was telling me of the many Decatur and other Adams county people who had been to visit him, and a great many of them drove I lux ugh in a car. I felt rather slighted to know that the most of them had passed right by me and I did not get to see any of them front home. This place "Victorville” is on the National Old Trails highway, and most tourists entering Southern California take this route. i , lam writing you, knowing that you generally know wljo are headed this way, and any you know are coming, ask them to stop and say hello, at I least. I am with the Southwestern Portland Cement Co., being a general fora- ; man at their factory, located here at Victorvil'j-. It is one of the finest ce--1 merit manufacturing plants in America and is free from dust a person can Any 'woman can end all numtrualpaint 'without the ute ot narco-'ict. i- A formula called feminex has made this announcement possible. Medical opinion a supports this statement, and the experience of thousands of women. Feminex is a complete and perfect solution of the problem ;that confronts so many women every month. The painful part of menstruation * is now needless. Feminex means positive f. freedom from all suffering —no matter how acutely you are accustomed to suffer; “ at such time! t. Feminex does not interfere with men-] e stniationi it does render you -mmunefrom ' menstrual pain. Try to believe it; try it 1_ anyway. To suffer another painful period t, is folly! . i Almost any drugstore ha< feminex. and u it costs a quarter. !'■ -■ —— - O

Mrs. t ’ Reid’s purpose in making this picture i : was to impress forcibly upon parents, i especially mothers some of the dangt ers that confront their growing daugh- , ters. The picture dealing as it does with t 1 the white slave evil, was passed by ] • the Motion Picture commission of , i New York state, and by the National I Board of Review without change or t elimination which was a distinct tribi ute Mrs. Reid's high purpose in mak--1 ing it, for it was no easy task to " tell the story of a modern Magdalene > in such away as to impress the moral i and yet not offend anyone. "The Red j Kiinona” is probably one of the most daring pictures that has ever been filmed and yet it is a production that 1 every mother should see aud that her - daughter should see with her. Many notable players appear in the cast in addition to Mis. Reid. Among ’ them are Mary Carr, Theodore Von 1 Eltz, Tyrone Power, Sheldon Lewis, • Virginia Pearson and others. : It is also fortunate that the co-op- . eration of the Bureau of Moral and , Hygenic Education and its great leader.

Creomulsion is a new medical discovery with two-fold action;it | soothes and heals die inflamed membranes I and inhibits germ growth. Os all known drugs, creosote is recognized by high medical authorities as one of the greatest healing agencies for pprI sistent coughs and colds and other forms of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the infected membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation while the creosote goes on to the ctomach,,is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs. ' Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfavlory in the treatment of persistent coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and other forms of respiratory diseases, and is ' excellent for building up the system after colds or flu.
