JOIN THE CLUB:— A five-dollar bill will make you a member of the best organization ever formed here —The Decatur Old Home Week Club —now under way through the finance committee recently named. The money thus secured, will, if sufficient support is given this movement, be used to stage an Old Home Week that will bring the folks hack from every section of the country and furnish a happy week for every one in this part of the country. It looks to us like a very fine plan that ought to go over quickly ami completely. One thousand five-dollar bills will spell five thousand dollars, every penny of which will be spent, i if necessary, to provide an entertainment that will make the. week the biggest and best ever offered the public. That may seem like a lot of money but when you consider the expense of tuai'ing thousands of invitations, providing badges, music, features, premiums and advertising expenses ,you will find it is uet t*o* much to tio the thing right and that's the only way to do it. Those who happened to be here in 1912—sixteen years ago and it doesn't seem possible—will tell you that the Old Home Week given at that time was a happy week for thousands, the very happiest of their lives. Two thousand people came home to Adams county and every one left here a booster. It can be done again and it seems to us that its the kind of an affair when every one should be a partner. The proposed plan finances the week without making it a burden to any one and gives every one a full right to express an opinion as to plans and program. Its a fine idea and one that will draw us all closer \ together it it succeeds. You can put us down right now for a membership. Wo want to belong to this booster club and wo will proudly wear one of tho red, white aud blue buttons. Governor .Jackson, through the •special ruling of Judge McCabe, hearing the bribery conspiracy ease, was acquitted yesterday. On the technicality that concealment of the bribery charge was not proven, the court sustained the motion of Ihe defense asking that a verdict of “not guilty" be returned. Warren T. McCray, former governor, testified that Jacksou and his crowd tried to bribe him with SIO,OOO, if lie would appoint a man favorably, to tho Jackson and Stephenson clique as prosecutor of Marion county. Th>- charge itself was not refuted, the verdict of “not guilty" biing obtained merely on t< clinical grounds. Governor Jackson should foi l happy. He no doubt does, for we believe he had an awful dread of being committed to prison for his crime. His oScns is sufficient that be should resign us governor, for his chances to do anything creditable for the state are small. The public has its opinion regardless of the outcojuc of the trial and it's a sorry mess for Indiana. A decade ago diphtheria was not an uncommon epidemic and many deaths resulted from the disease. In recent years medical science has taught us how to fight it and to become immune from it With a carry-

ing on of thia Immunization work, next week will be known a* Educ» tional Week in Adams county and with the assistance of field workers from the state board of health meet'lngs will be held throughout the country and the Immunization work against diphtheria explained Diphtheria can be eliminated from the card of diseases and there is no reason why it cannot bo successfully combated. Talks will bo given to the school children and parents and the public is invited to attend them- The movement is sponsored by the Adams County Child Health board and the hearty cooperation of all will bring the desired results. The annual meeting of the Decatur Industrial association will be held Tuesday evening. February St at the K of C. hall. The election of directors will take place and the attendance of every member is desired. If you want your city and community to push forward, to seize the opportunities offered and to progress, the hearty cooperation of all the members is necessary. The officers aud directors alone cannot do it all. Lend your support by participating in the meeting next Tuesday. The Democratic state convcntior will be held in Indianapolis June 6th ; and 7th. Delegates to the convention 1 will be elected at the May primary! and in view of the number of candi , dates out for the democratic no mm ation for governor it is likely that Vhe nomination will go to the convention. Other candidates for state . offices will be nominated in the convention. Governor Jackson, acquitted yesterday in the bribery trial is still the governor of Indiana and ff it was not for the technicality of proving tb concealment of the crime of which ! he and his codefendants were charg ed, the story might be different. Sup pose he'll maintain his defiant attitude and hold unto the governorship Indiana should be proud? Decatur has pulled off some Ine acts of loyalty in the past and now another, entirely new as far as we know, is presented. Instead of ask Inga few to carry the expense of a big community celebration, tho public is invited to participate to the amount of only five dollars per member. Remember that one of the best things about making a success of the Old Home Week Club is the fact that every citizen in this community becomes a real partner in the enterprise. That will bihd us all closer and will react in many ways to every ones advantage, t'nited we stand. i A little cooler today, which fact will give the roads a chance to harden and bear up under the heavy traffic. The warm weather has worked havoc with the roads and a little thought should be given when it

ROBERT HELLER I On Tuesday morning the tickets for "The Lottery Man" senior class play ; were given to the seniors. Five tickets ' it thirtv-five cents each for pupils and ten at fifty cents for adults were pass ed out. The play will be given February 27-28, under the direction of Miss Blanche McCrory, guardian, and Mrs J. R. Blair. No seats will be reserved. To Take Orders For Annual Mi. Krick announced today that, i sometime next week, orders f>r the Annual will be taken for high-school ! pupils. The seniors have been getting promises for sometime. Mr. Krick said he believed this year's Annual would ! be the best the school has ever had. 3o:ne ct the new features are individual p'ctuies. highei priced backs. . and a better grade of paper. Alw> the jacks will probably be sewed on instead of glued as they have been in the past. These will cost between 3125 nd 315 u, but the price of the Annual will not be increased. Two movies, one I which has already been given, and i carnival will help defray the added expense. —c SORE THROAT IS DANGEROUS Thoxine Relieves Quickly Don’t neglect sore throat-it often eads to tonsilitls, scarlet fever or liphtheria. Take Thoxine, a famous physician's prescription, which is remarkably successful because it works on a new pr'.ncip’e—goes direct to the cause not reached by gargles and patent medicines aud brings relief within 15 minutes, or money back. One swallow does the work. Contains no iron, chloroform or other harmful drugs. Safe and sure —pleasant to take —much better than gargles. Ask for Thoxine, 35c., 60c and SI.OO. Sold by Holthouse Drug Co. aud all good druggists. o Get the Habit—Trade at Home, It Pays

Tips For Taxpayers To be allowed an exemption of 33.500 ! a married couple must have "lived together" in the eyes of the law for the entire taxable yem. However, in the absence of continuous residence together the question of whether man and wife are living together depends upon tho character of separation. If. occasionally, the husband Is away on business, or If, for any necessary reason. a temporary separation exists, the full exemption is allowed. But when the husband deliberately and continuously makes his home at one place and the wife at another, they are classed as single persons, and each is allowed an exemption ct 31.500 only. In the absence of continuous actual residence together, whether a person with depeudant relatives is the head of a family, and therefore entitled to an exemption of $3,500. also depends upon the character of the separattgn. 666 is a Prescription for Colds, Grippe, Flu. Dengue, Bilious Fever and Malaria. It kills the germs. SICK HEADACHE Be suspicious of persistent sick headaches, dizzy spells or tloating specks before the eyes. They usually indicate a poisoned condition of the system which leads to high blood pressure. Due to our abnorr.ial habits of living v.e place too great a strain upon the vital organs, especially the liver. The liver becoming weak or sluggish fails to cleanse the blood of the poisons formed in food waste. The whole system becomes toxic then, effecting stomach, kidneys, heart, blood pressure and blood vessels. The liver occasionally needs a little help, and there’s nothing better for tins, as medical men now know, than a little ox gall. Ox gall is a remarkable natural stimulant for the human liver, promoting its normal , active functioning, so essential to real health. Dioxol tablets are genuine ox gall in dainty and tasteless form, each tablet representing 1J drops of pure ox gall. To be sure of getting the genuine ox gall, be sure of getting Dioxol.
