And so the world is to last a billion years yet. Ttiats a long time and the first hundred will probably be the hardest for most of us. Well, lets hit 'em high, hit 'em low and make this , the best of the billion. Alright, folks, we are all off now , on a new year. It will be just as ■ successful as we make it. Remember some will win and others will lose and that those who think and work and play it on the level will be the ones who profit. Mrs. Lindbergh seems to have as much nerve as her brave son. Fore-; ed down on her homeward trip she refused to desert her plane for the railway lines and smiled at the discomforts of landing in snow fields of northern Indiana and southern Michigan. Sheriff Hollingsworth had a total of a hundred and thirty-five prisoners to care for during the year 1927, enough to prevent us from thinking that we don't need a jail. We may be good but not yet so perfect that we can get along with the enforce- i ment of laws. B. F. Briener has again been chosen president of the board of commissioners of Adams county, a splendid honor to a high class official. We are fortunate to have men of such calibre as Mr. Briener and his associates, Mr. Shoemaker and Mr. Hoffman in charge of affairs of the county. They are honest, careful and wise. Real winter, with the mercury down i below zero five to ten degrees last night, but after all about the best kind of weather for this time of the year. Three months of it would help the soil, help business, help health conditions and be better tor every one. So there's really nothing to complain about if you can keep comfortable. Governor Jackson has issued another statement, this time to the newspapers, declaring that everything is fine and that he has been abused. We would perhaps be more inclined to have faith it it were not that he i has issued several statements during the past year, including his explanation of how he acquired Stephenson’s famous saddle horse and his | connection with the attempted bribery of Governor McCray. Since they ' failed to stand up, we have some' doubts about his latest statement. A noted scientist has announced that the world is good for several million years yet, which is exactly contrary to three or four European fortune tellers who have declared ( that large slabs of the United States along the eastern coast will drop off during the year. None of them know a thing about it, we would guess, ! though we are inclined to believe I with the scientist. There will be disasters of one kind and another, many of them, but the world will stand for thousands of generations. Another hundred or two paid with their lives for a wild time on New Years eve. It seems to go with the holiday season that a million or two must celebrate by throwing aside every bit of judgment they ever had and after a drink or two they don't care whether its Canadian dry or varnish. In every large city there were several deaths and others who

are trying tQ iccover. Some will live I to try It over next holidays ami some will never get over it. Doesn’t it seem foolish? While the sum of 1116,000 spent •iupon the Highways of Adams county the past year may seem large to you. , remember that there are more than [seven hundred miles to maintain and [that much of the expense would Ito ® saved if we were all a little more II careful when the roads get soft. The ' state commission spends that amount [ to maintain a few miles. There is no t more important department in county ' management than this and every one should take sufficient interest that the most good may result always from the money expended. Senator Watson will probably be a candidate for president. It doesn't seem possible he would have that much nerve but being in control of the badly disrupted state organization or rather being in a position in which he can apparently assume control, he .is pulling some wires just now and Jim was always a good wire puller. Twenty years ago Mr. Watson forced his nomination for governor upon the i voters of the state and they resented it rather decidedly the following November when he was defeated by Thomas R. Marshall. Perhaps history i will repeat itself. Whatever else may be said by the people of Decatur about 1927 we cani not truthfully say we were not fortunate with our fire loss which was about as near nothing as -could be expected. The total loss as recorded by the fire department was slightly over SI,OOO and perhaps it was not all due to luck. We have an efficient fire department and good equipment and several disastrous fires have been averted by their skill and speed. We hope the administration continues to make this one of their hobbies for money spent to protect a community against fire is always well spent. During this month, on the 12th to be exact, we will observe the 25th anniversary of the founding of the ; Daily Democrat. They have been busy years, during which we have passed through a half dozen presidential elections, wet and dry fights, the World War and a number of other exciting periods and a glance through the old files is like a glimpse into a history of this community. What will the next quarter century bring? Whatever it is we will try our best to record fairly in these columns. We appreciate more than we can tell you in words your loyalty and ask only for the opportunity for further service.

High blood pressure, indicated by hard arteries, heart palpitation, dizziness and difficulty in breathing, is tire penalty of our abnormal habits of living. We place too great a strain on the vital organs, especially the liver. The liver becoming “limp” or sluggish, fails to cleanse the blood of the toxic poisons formed in food waste. The whole system then becomes toxic, with stomach, kidneys, heart and blood vessels affected. It is generally recognized that the liver occasionally needs a little help. There is nothing better for this, as medical men know, than a little ox gall. Ox gall has been found to lie a great stimulant ior the liver. The genuine, pure ox gall is to be had, dainty and tasteless, in the form of Dioxol tablets. ILach tablet represents 10 drops of pure ox gall and costs less than 2c at good druggists. To be sure of getting the genuine, look for the name Dioxol and picture of ox’s head on the package.
