After pulling the children out of the water a half dozen times yesterday we wished the weather man would I give us a little sunshine or fix the sewer on our street. This is the kind of weather which | makes us wish we had a rain coat, i. worry about the roof on the house !. or keeping up the furnace lire without starting on next winter's coal supply. With the awarding of contracts < yesterday approximately six more i miles of improved roads will be added j to Adams county’s highway system j this year. This county has for many . years been a leader in road building I and at present lias more than 70b miles of improved roads. Next week is the Republican nat- j ional convention at Kansas City and i two weeks later comes the Demo-1 cratic convention at Houston. With the airplane flights across ocean and to the South Pole and. with several trans-Atlantic flights planned for this ' month, it appears that June will be j a busy and interesting month. Chicago is the wickedest American I city, Philadelphia second, New York third, or putting it another way. New York is the most virtuous of the three largest American cities. It is less wicked than London and Paris of today ami not nearly so wicked as the New York of 15 years ago. Once a dollar bill had a life expectancy of twenty months before becoming ragged, but in these days of , high speed shopping they last only six months. As the government has to make a billion new $1 bills every year at a cost of $1,000,000, new money costs the citizen of this country some thing. A new paper of cotton and linen which will last 10 per cent long-' er, is to be used hereafter, an item j that will save the country's hundred i million citizens just 1G cents a year, j —Mid-West Review. The difference between success and i failure is only ten cents. The business man who takes in a dollar and spends only 95c is on the road to financial independence, but the fellow who spends $1.05 when he’s got only a dollar in the bank is headed for the rocks. The message you hold in your hands will be to many, if not to you, a beacon light pointing the way to tile harbor most of us are headed for—financial success —where will also be found great peace of mind. —Garard Review. Today is the day when the Democrats trot out the party standard bearers and get ready for the November election. Everything points (o a harmonious session today, resulting in the nomination of state officers from governor on down the list and delegates to the national convention at Houston. It's time for a clean-up in Indiana politics and the Democrats are favored this year with having men at the head of the ticket who have not in anyway been connected with or accused of being involved with any of the gang now in control of the slate government. It’s the peoples opportunity to change things.

Showing the menace to health in overweight, Dr. James Barton quotes j medical statistics to the effect that 50 per cent of the patients with high blood pressure are overweight; and , nearly 90 per cent of the gallstone cases in the Presbyterian Hospital, I New York, have a history of having I been overweight. . , . Five or even I ten pounds extra seem to make little . difference In death rates of insurance policy holders, but fifteen or twenty pounds extra send the rate up 16 per cent, twenty-five to forty pounds send ' it up 27 per cent and fifty to eighty {pounds, 50 per cent. Better not eat ; too much. The city council in session last night killed the daylight saving proposition for this year, at least. The judiciary committee reported that funds were not available for holding a special city election aud that the ' petition for the change in time be ■denied. Next year the matter will probably come up again and if Fort Wayne, Indianapolis aud other cities in the state adopt the fast time, Decatur will more than likely be asked to do it. We don’t see much advantage to the plan, but If an expression from a majority of the people in Decatur could be obtained favorable to fast time, the council would probably coincide with the wishes of the majority. The Claypool hotel. Indianapolis, is trying to solve the daylight riddle there aud has added an extra hand to its clock. The one hand running on fast time is painted red, the other black aud its patrons have a choice of both. Talking about daylight saving, the Fiji Islanders have it all over the people of these parts. They are 12 hours ahead of us, which fact was noticed in the news dis- ( patches sent from Suva, Fiji Islands, yesterday and bearing the date of Wednesday, June 6th.

BACK TO HEALTH FEELS FINE AND PRAISES KONJOLA This Lady Was Relieved Os Stomach And Kidney Trouble By The New Compound AMRS. DELLA CRAIG "Since taking Konjola 1 don't remember when I ever felt better in my life," said Mrs. Del'a Craig, 2313 Morton St., Indianapolis, Ind. “Long years of suffering front stomach and kidney troubles practically made a health wreck of nte. I couldn't eat a thing without suffering afterwards. The undigested food in my stomach caused terrible pains and very often I had spells of nausea. I also suffered dreadful pains across my back and had to rise three or four times every night. Along with this trouble I had awful headaches and dizzy spells. “I started, taking Konjola aud the first bottle helped me wonderfully. Os course I continued with a few more bottles and now I tee! like I never had a sick day in my life. All forms of stomach trouble have disappeared. My kidneys are stronger and the backaches and night risings have stopped; also the terrible dizzy spells and headaches have left me I enjoy health in every way and certainly can recommend Konjola to others.” Konjola is sold in Decatur at the Smith, Yager and. Falk drug store, and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section.
