I Raise the Boy Scout budget and plan activities for the youths this winter and during the spring. We should ail feei nappy to be able to contribute a few dollars towards the welfare of the boys and the organization which is very instrumental in building better manhood. The fifteenth annual convention of the National Council of Catholic Women in session in Fort Wayne attracted many visitors and delegates from all parts of the country. The sessions were devoted to inspirational, religious and community topics and were addressed by prominent church dignitaries. Much good results from such discussions and the Fort Wayne meeting was declared one of the most successful ever held. Here's good news for young lov-1 ers. Sir James Jeans, British astronomer, predicts that the moon, which is slowly moving toward the earth, will sometime break up, first into a few large pieces, and later into fine particles, which will make u ring arountj the earth similar to the rings of Saturn. Sunlight reflected from the particles in this ring will give the earth continuous moonlight. But don't wait for that before proposing to your best girl. It will be a long time coming.— i’rairie Farmer. It must have made Dale McMillen’s heart glad to see hundreds of his old-time friends and men with whom he has dealt for many years, come to Decatur as guests of the McMillen Feed Mills, of which he is president. Attesting to the confidence and fine feeling which they hold 'or this dynamic, friendly personality, the crowd rose and cheered him. following his remarks on the feed industry and his desire to serve those who wished to promote the feed bushtess. It was a wonderful demonstration of friendship, inspiring to say the least. To a man. Decatur also takes off its hat to the mau and the organization he heads who

has brought about the great industrial expansion !n this cltf. If the federal government gives up to $49,800 to Decatur towards • the purchase of a new turbine and t condenser and plant addition, it will be an opportunity to make a t good improvement, at small cost to the Municipal utility, compart ed to what the total would be if no grant were made. In view of > increased business at the city light > and power plant and the apparent ' demand In the future, the plant , will be required to install another > generating unit in a short time. * The other day the production ran up as high as 2,100 killowats per hour, which is 600 killowats in excess of the reserve capacity. If something happened to the 3.000 KWH turbine—and no machine will run without some wear and need of repair—snch a current load Could not be carried by the two smaller units. The grant, equal to 45 per cent of the total, would save the municipal light plant nearly fifty per cent of the cost for new machinery and if that isn't a bargain, none have ever come this way. MARK TWAIN: The centennial of Mark Twain's birth on November 30 is making humor, and especially that Missourian's contribution to the worlds sources of chuckles, a popular topic for table conversation. But not many of his countrymen know that Americans of his day were slow to recognize his genius | "While Boston was still regard- | ing him as a western 'cut up'," notes Canada's Stephen Leacock, himself a producer of smiles "England was recognizing him as one of the world's greatest writers.” What especially impressed the British was the detachedness with i which Twain (whose real name I was Samuel Langhorne Clemens) i could strip a situation to the essen-

' tials and. with disarming good nature, put his finger on truths. But is not that the gist of all true humor? The word humor is taken directly from the Latin, and meant fluid or moisture. Old physiologists believed there were four fluids — I blood, phlegm, choler or yellow . bile, and melancholy or black bile. The relative proportions of each. | they reasoned with seeming logic, determined a person's mood. Hence came the expressions good humor and ill humor. But. under the wear and tear of usage, words shift their meanings. Gradually, perhaps because of man's natural optimism, the pleasant meaning triumphed over the unpleasant, and humor came to signify something wholesome, cheerful and. finally, downright funny and laughI able. The element of jeering has been sloughed off in the process. "Pulling a laugh" at the expense of a hurt isn't humor any more, certainly it is not Mark Twain's kind. His is the sort defined by Carlyle as springing "not more from the i head than the heart. It is not con- ■ tempt; its essence is love. It isi sues not in laughter, but in smiles i that lie far deeper.” — Rotarian ! Magazine. . | -o I Modern Etiquette •3v ROBERTA LEE ♦ — • —♦ Q.

| Household Scrapbook | By Roberta Lee * ——— —* Washing Windows There are many methods of washing windows, but an efficient authority <says the quickest and simplest way is to put one tablespoon of ammonia in one quart of tepid water, wet the chamois In this water, wring it out. and rub over the glass. This treatment requires no drying cloth. The Dish Mop If a dish mop is used for wash ing dishes, see that it doesn't have an unpleasant smell. To keep it sweet put it in a bottle each morning with the mop part standing out and stand it in the air and sunshine to dry. Sewing On Buttons By using silkaleen instead of the orinary thread, when sewing on buttons, only a few stitches will be required to hold the button securely. Curtains The kitchen curtains will keep clean for a much longer time if a little starch is used when laundering them. • o Huge Country Store Is Closed By Death Dover. 0., Nov. 21.—The "world's largest country store, at Strasburg, Ohio, was closed today.

A DAY Clean Out 15 Miles of Kidney Tubes Nature put over 15 miles of tiny tubes and filters in your kidneys to strain the waste matter out ot the blood. Kidneys should pass 3 pints a day and so get rid of more than 3 pounds of waste matter. When the passing of water is scanty, with smarting and burning, the 15 miles of kidney tubes may need flushing out. This danger signal may be the beginning of nagging backache, leg pains, loss of pep and snergy. getting up nights, swelling, puffiness under the eyes and dizziness. If kidneys don't empty 3 pints a day and so get rid of more than 3 pounds ot waste matter, your body may take up some ot these poisons causing serious trouble. Don’t wait! Ask your druggist for Doan’s Pills, which have been used successfully by millions of people for over 40 years. They give happy relief and help the kidneys to flush out 3 pounds a day. Insist ou Doan’s Fills.
