It's an old true story, but pleasant to recall, tluit the first of sprint is the last of winter. What would tlie traffic problem be in Decatur if the old interurban line still went through Second street? R. Earl Peters, state FHA chairman, will explain the benefits of a house and building repair campaign to the community, at the Chamber of Commerce meeting next Monday. Attend tlie meeting and assist the officers in planning the 1935 drive to make Decatur a little better. Slate or federal aid will have to be obtained if Winchester and North Second streets are repaired. Only S3OO is available in the city budget for this year and that amount wouldn't be enough to get started. The streets need repair and it is hoped that PWA or other funds will be alloted for their improvement. Assist the street department in tlie cleaning of the streets by keei>ing your car off Second street on tile nights when the sweeper is working. Commissioner Roop is trying Io give Decatur clean streets and parked cars prevent the making of a clean sweep down the thoroughfare. Please help in this matter. Il's not unusual for an editor Io receive anoymous letters. Often in an effort of bravery the author trie# to “bawl out" the editor, but becomes a weakling in neglecting to sign his or her name. The last communication received by this paper has been consigned witli the pencil shavings and heaps of scrap paper to the waste basket. The South Ward playgrounds are gradually becoming a real community center, thanks to the efforts of the Parent-Teachers club and others interested in such improvements. By carrying out the program, each year will sec ni\e progress and eventually tile grounds will lie of great utility and benefit. It's line to build for the children.

in the "clean out of the slot and i gambling machine". The attorneygeneral said, “The slot machine racket must go. My office expects 1 to wage a vigorous drive against r the machines and lend county prosecutors all the assistance they t need.” That's plain enough. The newspaper world lost one of its leaders and the New York l Times suffers the loss of an able and efficient hand, in the death of , Louis Wiley, beloved and respect- . ed business manager of tlie great 7 metropolitan daily. Wiley was one J of the outstanding newspaper ex- > ecutives in the country and his ac- * complishments are evidenced in the plnacle position held by the Times. We start a new season. Spring is here with its score of new activities and the period when threefourth's of the world's business is done. Buying for the coming months will be heavy, because of the many wants to be filled and individual, merchant, manufacturer and farmer will be kept busy in supplying them. It’s the season when we should all forget about the inactivity of the past and roll up our sleeves and go to it. The illness of Andy Foos, able and genial engineer at the City , Plant, has caused sorrow and ■ alarm among Ills many friends. For 27 years he has served the city as plant employe and has done a good job. To him, the mass of intricate machinery, fire of the boilers and hum of the turbines has been like music. He is a man who enjoys his work, always sincere in performing his duties and everyone hopes for his speedy recovery. The council, in compliance with public demand, will pass au ordinance regulating the licensing of dogs, including a provision that stray dogs shall be picked up and removed from tlie streets. Citizens have a just complaint against dogs running loose, destroying flower beds and gardens. If dogs are not wanted.uninterested owners should not be permitted to let the animals run at large and destroy the other person's property. The ordinance, will in all probability, call for a nominal licensing fee and the establishing of a corral, or “dog | pond" where unclaimed dogs will I Mie kept. Such a plan is about the only solution and from the number of complaints registered this! spring, officials are convinced that • the public wants action in the matter. 0 * STA R SIGNALS*!

Therefore, it is just as important to watch the kidneys as the bowels. Kidneys are working all the time and are one of Nature s chief ways of taking tlie acids and poisonous waste out of the blood. Healthy persons pass thru the bladder 3 pints a day and get rid of ' more than 3 pounds of waste matter. If you pass less than this, your 79.200 feet of kidney tubes may he clogged ' with poisonous waste. This is a | danger signal and may be the begin- . ning of nagging backache, leg pains. t loss of pep and energy, getting up ' nights, swollen feet and ankles, rheu--1 matic pains and dizziness. Kidneys should be watched closely and need cleaning out the same as bowels. Ask your druggist for ' DOAN'S PILLS, an old prescription, w hich has been ic ed by millions of kidney sufferers for over 40 years. They give happv relirf and will help to wash out your 79.200 feet of kidney tubes. Get Doan's Pills at your druggist. © 1934, Foster-Milburn Co.
