If you haven't voted, better hurry and surely you won't want to miss voting this year when there are so many matters of vital importance. And tonight we will know just what time it is going to be the next five months, daylight or standard. Well its about all over hut counting the vote. That will start in a couple of hours and by tomorrow morning the results will be known. Cull us for the news. The primary in Adams county has been cleanly conducted and we the candidates for their splendid sportsmanship. They have each worked hard, given their best efforts and will we are sure ’ be ready to congratulate the winners. That's the proper spirit. Decatur has 1.333 children between the ages of six and twentyone. according to the report of the enumerators who have jnst com pletefl their reports, indicating that this city is holding its own in .population. They are about evenly "divided as to sex. there being 794 boys and 629 girls and all are white. , Because oi interest in numerous ..questions and the large list of candidates in the field it is preall over Indiana that to--day's vote will be the largest cast ■* in a primary for years. That's a . good sign for when the people really take an interest in elections, they usually get what they want. , The Wabash river drain case has been continued until next September because of a lack of funds with which to pay the expense of of the special judge. While this money is only advanced and in due time comes back from the state, it bus to lie .provider! in the meantime and that's something these days. Al Capone's address the next eleven years will be in care of Leavenworth federal prison. When liis- rw c reached the supreme court of the United States, that tribunal "~rtid what might have been expected, tqpk otie look and dismissed the mtftJdT without even reviewing it.

WAKE UP YOUR LIVER BILE—WITHOUT CALOMEL And You’ll Jump Out of Bed in the Morning Rarin’ to Go If you k-el Sour and trank and the world looks punk, don’t swallow a lot ot salts, mineral water, oil, laxative candy or chewing • rum and expect them tn make you suddenly tweet and buoyant and full of sunshine* For they can’t do it. They only move the bowels and a more movement doesn’t get at the cause. The reason for your down-and-out ■ feeling is your liver. It should pour out two ' pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily, j If this bile is not flowing freely, your food I doesn't digest. It just decays in the bowels. , Gas bloats up your stomach. You have a thick, bad taste and your breath is foul, skin often breaks out in blemishes. Your head j aches and you feel down and out. Your whole system is poisoned. ft takes those good, aid CARTER’S LITTLE LIVER PILLS to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you fed ’up and up.” They contain wonderful, I harmless, gentle vegetable extracts, amazing when it comes to miking the bile flow ireaiy. But don’t ask for liver pills. Ask for Carter's Utile Laver Pills. Look for the name Carter’s I Little Liver Pills on the red label. R«ent I substitute. 24c at all stocsa. o**3l C. M.C«

gan State prison debated the question, "Resolved, that the eightenth amendment should be repealed,” against three young men from the’ University of Detroit extension course in public speaking and did it so thoroughly that they won the decision of the judges. Since one ot the winners is serving time for violation of the prohibition laws he may have known without guessing some of the best arguments. Tax paying is over for the first six month period and we won’t have to worry alxrnt where we can find that much money until November. By the way, taxes are less this year than for some time and it is expected they will drop still lower next year. / Every economy possible is being put into effect and this is sure to bring a reduction in dol'ars and cents. While the rate may not be lowered much, if any, the valuations and appraisements are being reduced so as to make the actual amount to be paid in taxes considerably less. With the election over those interested in politics will turn attention to the organization which is next on the program. The newly elected committeemen will meet next Saturday in the various counties to elect chairmen, vice-chair-men. treasurers and secretaries and next week the district conventions will be held when county chairmen wi’l chose the district chairmen. Then will come the meetings at Indianapolis for state organization, then the state conventions and then the nationals and then we are all ready for the real line-up of contending forces in a national campaign that bids fair to be one of the hottest in many years. Congress recentl/ passed a dras-l, tic tax law which increases by a I billion dollars present ..taxes. At r « that time it was the desire of the ( leaders on both sides that the bud- t get be reduced to permit this increase to balance the demand. ( However when they got to trim- i tiling up the employes and other- 1 wise cutting overhead the law-|, makers listened to the appeals of i those effected and now they find ' they must further boost the income in some manner and they propose , to do that by adding to the cost of i ! telegraphing and telephoning and by boosting other taxes. It's a t sorry mess and one that they don't < seem to be able or desirous of . meeting in a sensible manner. o Lessons In English 1 * -♦ W ids often misused: Do not say “I am not anxious to go nohow." , Say, "1 am not in the least anxious to go."

Cut in half and bind with tape to tie around the baby's neck. It is soft enough to prevent chaffing the baby's chin and nothiuj spilled will go through it. Scorched Food If food becomes scorched, remove the cover immediately and place the pan in vessel of cold water. Allow it to remain for 15 or 2(1 minutes and the scorched taste will disappear.
