They both are! sold on Democracy and both be-l lieve that the Democrats of Del catur have a great ticket from topi to bottom to offer the people. I 0 0 I Ten of the Decatur people whom made the Erie-Decatnr Democrat® trip to New York over last week -S end have contacted this office! making reservations for the next® New York excursion. In spite of! the fact that, because of a detour.® necessary since the eastern flood.® the train was four hours late, al l most everyone expressed com-® plete satisfaction with the trip.® The Daily Democrat hopes to be! able to offer a similar trip next® year. ■ o 0 I The golf season is drawing to! a close for the average golfer.® Only the "real bugs” will continue! to play a few rounds until the! snow falls. Decatur’s golf course! has experienced one of its great-® est seasons, and rightfully so, be-! cause it has been kept in perfect! condition ail year. Don MacLean.® owner, and his assistants have® done a fine job of maintenance as! evidenced by the fact that golfers! came here each week of the sum ! mer from as far as a hundred® miles to play the local course.! Our golf course is an asset to De ! catur, and we are glad to hear! so many local people praise the! course and its management. We J hope it continues to prosper. ■ —-• ♦-*-*’ I ; ? I Next to Churches, schools and 1 good well kept residences, visitors are apt to evaluate * city by its yards, flowers and trees. Decatur home-owners need not bow to any city in the latter appraisal. Local residents seem to be yard and tree conscious this year. More trees have been trimmed and cared for this summer than in many seasons past and yards never looked nicer. Flower beds .

SYNOPSIS Business reverses had forced Adam Laird to sell the home which he had built tn Kennedy. Missouri, tor Ann. bis bride. Unhappy in the small apartment to which the Lairds had moved. Ann found solace tn volunteer work at the local Hospital. Here she met Dr Alexander. • not-too-happily married man ot great charm, with whom she could very easily tall In love too. bad found dew diversion tn the dark dynamic person of Linda VanSanta nurse on the hospital staff The Lairds' marital relations became badlv strained until they found a new in terest tat building a new home together. CHAPTER EIGHT ADAM was relieved to have Ann so much her old self again. He'd build her a nice house! And as quickly as he could manage, what with pay-jobs having first call. Linda, perhaps, recognized this change in Adam's affairs: because Chat spring she began to take the initiative with him. Now it was she who joined him at the drug store counter, or even ventured to call him at times when she knew that Ann was away from home. She ■gain asked him to drive her to Columbia, and didn't flick an pyclash when he explained that he didn’t go down there so often any more. A wife would have been put out by his bluntness. Linda was not in a position to afford such tender sensibilities. She’d think of something else. She did, too. She had a project, she told turn, and would need Adam's help on IL “Ann said you'd probably help me,” she continued smoothly. “Then I guess it’s as good as done!" Linda had driven out to one of his jobs. He knew that e -y workman was watching them under cover of keeping busy. Linda looked like a million dollars—the top of her cai was down, me wore a yellow sweater, and she had the figure to do it the most good. And again her shiny green earrings swung below her blueblack hair. -It’s a wonderful project, Adam!” she told turn. “You know bow many chronics we have out at the hospital? Men the railroad have retiree for one reason and another, mostly age. Some of them don’t have families; ethers are with us because the families don’t want an idle old man sitting around. Well, anyway, I thought if — could fir 8 place out at the lake—Mr. Bell owns some land there and be said we could use a half-acre of lake shore. I- thought it we could build some benches and tables, a fireplace—maybe a shelter of some sort — those old men could go out there and fish —be better than just sitting on the hospital porch, or listening to the radio In their rooms." “I take it I’m to build the things you want" “Would you, Adam?" “1 might, Linda. I’m awfully busy, but maybe some of the men would give me a few hours after work." > ' 4“Could you get away now for a/huick run out there?” f The workmen were still watch- ) ‘No. But Til go some evening, soon."

Household Scrapbook | BY ROBERTA LEE 0 • Agateware -Food that is stuck to agateware should not be scraped off. as it is easily chipped. Soak the vessel and then boil with water and soap powder until the food is loosened and can be wiped off. Making Batter When stirring a cake or batter on an enamel table, try placing a damp towel under the pan and it will prevent the pan from turning while baking.

"Tonight 1 Tomorrow ?" “It would depend on Ann—what her plans are.” -I’o want to go with you, to show you the place." “Yes, sura. Til try to make it tomorrow, about seven. I’ll pick you tip.” "if it’s all right with Ann/’ purred Landa, driving oft Adam tipped ms oat back and scratched his thumb nail along tus law. That evening, at suppet, tie mentioned the project to Ann.. She said there'd oeen some talk about it at the nospitai He’d nave to work on it; Van Sant nad got the old men all worked up. “You think it’s a good idea?" “It’s 0.K.” She acted as cool as water. “I said we’d drive out there tomorrow and look at the place." “We?” “Sure. You and me. And Linda.” “1 don’t see any need for me to go. I couldn't contribute a thing, and there's that baby shower for Minda Belcher." She sounded as if the trip to the lake wasn't important —and it need not oe. They'd drive out, walk around ana decid - on what and where and how much. It was only another job. Adam was always going on similar errands with women —ot course, not usually as pretty as Linda. The next evening he dropped Ann at her shower. She looked cute that evening, tn a grey dress with a pink rose tucked under her chin. Linda was dressed for an excursion into the wood a The yellow sweater again, out no earrings. She wore slacks—bright green. Ordinarily, and categorically, Adam disapproved ot slacks on women. But on Linda —and for scrambling about on the brushy hillside, they were the only practical thing. Besides, Linda was different in a lot ot ways. Slacks looked good on her; they matched up with her frank and friendly manner, her da wr.im g smile, the provocative things she said. Ann’s appeal lay in her softness, childishness, her wide-eyed air of dependency, her general ladylike qualities. Linda had none of those things, but her other qualities compensated. She met a man more than halfway. At Adam's first meeting with her, her friendliness nad been the thing to engage his attention. She went on, as she came to know a man better, to indulge in an occasional bold act or word that challenged him, snapped him to attention. It was like the champagne that Adam had Infrequently tasted, on special occasions. Now If a man’s wife—occasionally—He didn't know that he actually wanted Ann to wear tight sweaters, or to be able to swear so fluently and spontaneously as Linda did when she slipped at the lake edge and plunged her foot and leg up to the knee into the scummy water. But it was exciting to laugh so hard at her language, then to rescue her and have her cling to bun.
Junior Leaders Plan For Final Meeting The Adams county junior leaders are making last minute preparations for their final monthly meeting this tall.

ana finally sit on a log while he wiped her leg and foot with his handkerchief, replaced the elkskin moccasin — and folded his coat around nei against the evening’s chiU. Os course, doing those same things for tus wife, for Ann, might not have oeen so exciting—'whdreas a man married to a girl like Linda ... Yea sir! That would be doggoned exciting! That idea, once planted in his mind, took root and grew apace. He saw a good deal of Linda that npxt month. Working with her on the picnic project supplied food for nis imaginings. Ann wasn't as interested tn the new house as he felt she might be: not half as interested as Linda. At times Ann would go with Adam to look at a certain feature, or talk over some decision, but this happened rarely, whereas Linda, on their way out to the lake, would always ask to drive past the bouse. She scrambled around, expressed amazement over Adam's ability to get the root ndge to come out just where It should, and the basement steps to hit the hole made for them. He laughed a lot at Linda those weeks, and listened with respect to her ideas. She urged him to make this a truly "modern” house, to go all out. To know that a contractor was available for that sort of work woula be good advertising, with a strong appeal for people who had advanced Ideas of their own. Adam mentioned this idea ot a modern bouse to Ann. Yes, she said, she guessed it would be all righL He could set a picture window to look out across the wooded hollow. And —did he know that Minda Belchers baby was a boy? During the war, Linda had seen duty as an Army nurse in the China-Burma theater. She had brought back some thrilling stories about the experience, as well as several souvenirs. One of these, a Chinese painting, she showed to Adam, and offered it to him foi the space over the fireplace of the new house. It was 'airly large—about two feet by three—done m finely etched lines of brown, with touches of blue and white. “Isn’t that thing valuable?” Adam asked, watching her roll the painting back into its Ik cover. She shrugged. “1 don’t think anything is valuable stuck away in a closet or a box. Now my idea is this, Adam; you’re planning the fireplace flush with the wait If you’d bang this painting over that fireplace—use brown tiles —and then gear the rest of the house to Its motif—you understand? Teabox paper on the walls, the closet interiors painted lacquer red, a sort of Chinesey print in the bedroom. They make fabrics and wall paper to match or to go together, you know." “Not at Shuck’s they don’t he laughed. She made a pretty face. “We don’t have to go to Shuck’s. There are places tn Kansas City or SL Louis. I “ould get samples for you next week end, if you like.” (To Be Continued) >

four to 15 years of age from both farm and city homes. The teenage girls in this study were the poorest fed. Most of the breakfasts were inadequate for these young adolescents and the other meals and snacks they ate during the day did not make up for the foods they missed at breakfast. A good breakfast furnishing onefourth to one-third of the day's food needs helps to prevent midmorning fatigue accompanied by headache or muscular tremor. The study showed that the teen-agers had an average of about one-fifth or less of the day’s food require ments. The diets of the children who had to get their own breakfasts u-ere low in milk and citrus fruit or juices. These foods are good sources of calcium and ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Not having, had a good breakfast, the teen-agera lacked cereals and milk and eggs or meat to furnish iron, protein and three B vitamins and calories. Children are known to benefit most where the whole family enjoys breakfast together. They are more apt to eat a good breakfast if someone prepares it for them than are the children in homes where parents were not up or had gone to work and they must get their own breakfasts —if they had any.
