Don't feel that the flu epidemic is < not serious and that the ailment is just a cold. There were two thousand deaths from it last week in this country. Among the things on the list that probably can never be explained is why the Chicago council voted $2,000 < to buy Mayot Bill Thompson a Christ- : mas gift, after all the cussings they i have handed him. ) = I A ftiembership in the Christmas , Savings c ub taken this week will still t pay out in time to take care of your ( needs for next Christmas and the wise , one is planning now for that event a i year away. t The time is here again when it is appropo to discuss whether it is bet- ( ter not to make a resolution than it , is to make one and break it. Os | course its better to make it for what- , ever time you do lick it is that much 1 to your credit. Why not resolute to , keep your resolutions this year? I “Hoover faces party rift,” says a ( headline, but he has four years in , which to heal any breach which may be caused by fjie selection of officials, j revision of tho tariff and disposition ( of the farm relief problem. During that time he will probably have a lot of rifts and his success will depend ( on how well he can cement them. f ' i We hope every reader of the Daily . Democrat will renew his subscrip- ( lion and as soon as possible. That . will make it easier all around. We j are anxious to make our plans for an- ( other busy year and we will appro- . < iate the cooperation of our subscrib- ( ers. If you get the paper by mail and ( your time has expired, come in and renew. Its a good way to start the ( New Year. James Doran, prohibition commissioner, is having a lot of fun razzing i Major Mills on his plan for enforcement of Hie prohibition laws and says most of his suggestions are now being followed as nearly as possible. Well, any way, Mil s has the satisfaction of knowing that his suggestions brought a reward of $25,000, that being the offered by W. C. Durant for the best. plan. You have a full month in which to get your 192 D license plates, it having been ruled that probation will continue until February Ist, but that doesn't mean particularly that you should wait until then to get them. Its just as cheap to get them now and better a l around. Remember if you drive in Ohio or Michigan after January Ist you are liable to arrest for they do not recognize the delayed date of enforcement. Assured that the coming legislature wiil enact a law which will require every person driving a car to pass an examination and secure a license, we naturally wonder whether the exam will be a sane and sensible one for the purpose of permitting only those who are qualified to drive cars or a silly questionnaire as to color of hair and eyes, age and ancestry.

! — — ~l TODAY’S CHUCKLE Austin Tex. —<U,R>— Secretary of State Jane Y. McCullum received i this letter from an Alabama con- I viet: "Please send me a copy of [ the pardon from the Texas Peniten- ’ I tiary issued to me. I am trying to j get a parole here.” President Coolidge, quiet and modest almost to a startling degree has developed into quite n sportsman since he became president. Prior to that he probably thought he could not afford it but now he is learning to fish and hunt and once a fellow thinks he knows these sports, its all off. he just has to have a dose or two of it a year. Just now the president is shooting pheasant and fishing off the coast of Georgia. There have l>een a lot of wild contests the past few years, designed to interest the public and draw a gate but none any more silly than the "tonsil" marathon now in progress in New York City where a prize of SI,OOO has been offered to the person who can talk the longest without a stop. We presume there are a lot of suckers willing to pay real money for this but we can’t imagine getting any great "kick” out of such an exhibition. Doctors and nurses are busy just now. You can help them by being careful of your habits and by following the advice given by them. ’Tis said that we have better health in summer than in winter because we breath more air and purer. We don't have the smoke to contend with in the summer and we have the windows open about all the time. In the winter we are apt to breath too much foul air, almost sure to result in colds and the flu. Effort will be made by the Indiana Good Roads association and other organizations to secure an increase of | five or six million dollars a year to be used for construction of new. highways in Indiana. This is of course a proposition worth while but one also that deserves the soundest thought. We want the roads and want them < quickly but we should also be careful about increasing the taxes. Many | people do not favor a five-cent gasoline tax which seems to be the idea of others. Why not a straight tax? The period of inactivity in movement of farm lands is about over and from about every part of the country now come occasional reports of sales at prices that indicate a quick return to normal values once the movement is really under way. In Sioux county. lowa, last week, L.alph Berg bought the Fred Kuhl farm of eighty acres at $250 per, the best sale in that section since 1921 and several other transfers were made there. Several good deals have been made in this county recently and those who buy now are the wise investors who realize tine prices are far below real values and that it is as tine an investment as can be made. The court of appeals of the District of Columbia have held that the pedestrian has the absolute right of way at crossings. With the stop and go signals a lot of drivers seem to think that when they get the green light, they have authority to run right through with no attention to the people who are trying to get over on the other side. The decision recently handed down says: “Many automobile drivers seem to imagine that with the shift of the signal they are given a clear right of-way against intersecting traffic. In this belief they recklessly start their machines regardless of tersous who are already on the intersection. It is the duty of drivers of machines to exercise the greatest vigilance under such circumstances and not only to have their machines under control but to shop and wait until pedestrians have had an oppor- ( tunity to clear the crossing.” , ——o «******V**«** ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO * ♦ From the Dally Democrat File • ♦ Twenty Years Ago Today • , **V¥4t****«**ff> i- December 27. 1908 was Sunday. p—, - Get the Habit—Trade at Home, It Pays

Kidney Trouble And Neuritis Finds Freedom From Pain Through New Medicine ; it ■ p'- lifii NIK. 8. G. ELDRIDGE

What cheer and encouragement for j al! who suffer could they but go through the tiles of Konjola, and read I the endless, glowing endorsements of j this master medicine. Thousands are today enjoying health they never ex- I peeled to have again. Consider the j case, for instance, of Mr. 8. G. Eldridge. 415% Broadway, Logansport. [ Praising Konjola, he writes: “Konjola has made me feel like a different man, after enduring for years the pains and suffering of kidney trouble, indigestion and neuritis. I was scarcely able to work; sharp pains pierced my back; I had to rise many times a night; gas and boating followed every meal, and the heart pressure almost suffocated me. Nothing helped me in the least, and this ' worried me greatly. Reading what j Konjola had done for many sufferers. I decided to give this new medicine a t trial. It proved at once to be the - medicine I had always needed. Gone is the terrible neuritis, and also my indigestion and kidney affliction. I haven’t an ache or pain. Oh, that I . could have had Konjola long ago; think of the pain I could have escap- ’ ed.” t Konjola works quickly; its results I in new and glorious health are perm- , anent. , , Konjola is sold in Decatur. Ind., at Smith. Yager & Falk s drug store and by all the best druggists in all towns s throughout this entire section.
