RORA CITIZENS JUSTLY PROUD OF COMMUNITY HOME New $65,000 Structure Completed and Dedicated Free of Debt. By Timet Special _ FLORA, Ind., Jan. B.—There are 1,441 persons living in the little town of Flora, Ind., Carroll County. If. by chance, you happened to visit that town today, the first question any one citizen of that number would ask you would be: “Have you seen our new community building? Such community spirit has made possible the erection of a $66,000 community building, recently completed and dedicatee free of debt. The money for the structure was raised by popular subscription, each citizen contributing an average amount of about S6O, an accomplishment few towns of a similar size in Indiana can boast. Right to Be Proud People of the community have a right to be proud. The building is a beautiful structure with simple impressive lines, designed and erected to supply an actual need, the need of an active, progressive community for an open forum, a place to house all fo’.ms of community meetings. It is of fireproof construction of hollow tile and brick supplied at cost by the Hoosier Tile and Silo Company, Albany. Ind. This company also supplied the masons to lay the brick. All other material was supplied at cost and it is estimated the building under contract would have cost $85,000. Cold Storage Plant The building is 80x140 feet In size, with basement, banquet room with seating capacity of 480, kitchen, shower rooms, heating plant and cold storage. The auditorium may be used for a basketball floor and is equipped with a stage. The ladies’ rest room is furnished with brown wicker furniture and the men’s lobby with leather upholstered furniture, ail arranged for beauty and comfort. The idea of a community building was fostered by the Flora Community Club, Inc., with a membership of 160 in three and one-half years.

There is no time, however, when it is more important for her to look after them. Chief among her troubles is constipation, and her suffering will be serious when she gets older if she does not regulate her bowels now. Mrs. Alary Kellar of 132 Benton St., Sisterville, W. Va., was perplexed about her daughter until her own druggist told her they used Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin at his house, and she did likewise. Miss Irene Mazierska of 90 Peter St., Buffalo, N. Y., is glad her aflention was called to Syrup Pepsin. Safe for Young and Old Let mothers with growing daughters interest themselves in this matter and see that their

PEAK OF THE LOAD It comes at the breakfast, luncheon and dinner hour. The demand is sudden, large. “Peak of the load,” says the gas man. “What a convenience,” comments the housewife. And both refer to the biggest problem in the public utility business. To get gas service when, where and how you want it, without warning, without telephoning for it, means that we must have “peak of he load” equipment to meet the demand. Citizens Gas Company

A Puzzle a Day
A man had a heavy chain of ten links, which weighed five pounds. The links, from the top of the chain to the bottom, were capable of bearing the following weights: One, 2EC lb; two, 239 lb; three to nine, each 260 lb; ten, 238 lb. How great a weight could be hung from the chain without breaking it? This Is a puzzle that sheds anew light on the old axiom, “A chain is as strong as its weakest link.” Yesterday’s answer: The original label on the box stated “HANDLE WITH CARE.’’ The new label "IT CAN WHEEL HARD” contains the very same 14 letters, in different order. terian Church of Indianapolis, in a talk before the Henry Ward Beecher Club of the church Monday night, characterized efforts of “fundamentalists” to force adoption of what is known as “essential doctrines” as “intolerable.” He declared that rejection of the Bible as fallible and doubt as to miracles of Christ and the virgin birth were not detrimental to real Christianity.
