COMMUNITY LOYALTY

Have yoiTever stopped to consider the fact that loyalty to community interests is the highest type of patriotism? Show us the man who is loyal and true to every interest of his own community and we will show you in that same individual a man in whom his country can repose absolute confidence in any emergency that calls for his allegiance. On the other hand, the man who is careless and unconcerned for the Interests of his community is ni«re than apt to display the same spirit of indifference toward his government or his state should any serious danger threaten either. One of the most commendable traits of the old Scotch highlanders was their loyalty to their own clan. Good or bad, right or wrong, the clan had thein first allegiance. The life . and services of each member ■were always cheerfully placed at the disposal of the clan. . Try to imaging an entire state composed of innumerable communities welded and cemented into a symmetrical whole, each striving to excel the others, but each, from its owh local loyalty; developing a broader and deeper loyalty that reaches out and embraces the whole. Utopia, you say? By no means. Merely what could and would be theresult if we could only be brought to see that we owe allegiance to our own people, but. that the prosperity of others is in no wise a detriment to us, but rather a help; that if each community would develop itself to the utmost—physically, mentally and morally—none would need be envious of others, neither would any need do aught to detract from another's interests. Los us develop community loyalty to the full—the highest possible form of patriotism.

IT ISN’T EVERYBODY

It isn’t everybody who can observe the Golden Rule, and it isn’t everybody that tries. It isn’t everybody who thinks of others while he is thinking of self, and mighty few ever try. It' isn't everybody who goes through life returning good for evil, and outside of the preachers we don't know of a single one who tries. Now do you? ' Don’t forget that Christmas days are. again drawing near. Don’t forget that merchants in this town have the goods that you want to buy for those Christmas days. Don't forget that every dollar you spend with a local merchant remains in local circulation and enriches the community just that much. Don’t forget that every dollar you spend outside of this town remains outside and decreases the money in 10-« cal circulation just that much. Don't forget that an advertisement of a local merchant in this paper is an indication that the merchant is prepared to “make good” or he would not resort to publicity in soliciting your trade. Don’t forget the good advertiser is generally a “live wire," and that live wires are better than dead ones.

Do you Avant to make a clear saving of $25 to SSO on vour expenses between now and the first day of next January? You can do it' and this is the way you can do it. You will be making many purchases for yourself and your \imily for fall and winter purposes and for the Christmas - time. There is always some merchant in town who will do a little better by you han anybody else. When a merchant is able to do this he is keen to advertise and let the people know just what he can and will do. Your own cue is to read carefully each week the advertisements in this paper. They tell the story and the name of the merchant who makes the story. Read the ads.

A PREVENTION FOR DIABETES

Fat People Prone to It—Can Be Detected by Physical Examination. The state Jjoard of health bulletin for the month says: Concerning the prevention and cure of diabetes, which, according to statistics, is now on the increase, a noted physician of thia country gives the following timely suggestions: “Diabetes is not exactly a disease, but in a certain sense is a symptom. It runs in families and may be hereditary. Fat people are very liable to it. They as well, as persons who inherit a tendency to diabetes, should have their urine examined three or four times a year for sugar. They should guard against obesity and diabetes by eating -no candy or other sweets and by limiting the amount of starches eaten. The man ■who'in middle life gives up hard, physical work and is promoted to ah office chair with increased mental worry, is liable to acquire diabetes. “Probably the best way to prevent diabetes ii to keep physically fit; to keep the muscl&s firm, solid and well under control of the nerv.es. Regulated exercise, with freedom of worry, mental excitement and mental over-work are important factors in the prevention of diabetes. Periodic physical examination is one of the best means to detect this disease and to divert its attack.”

Much of the force of Christianity is generated and applied in public religious meetings, and to make the most of it we must make the church habit a part of our lives.

Lafayette Journal: Mrs. Mary H. Carnes of Hoopeston, Illinois, is in a serious condition at St. Elizabeth hospital. A few weeks ago she was bitten by a spider. The finger became greatly inflamed and it was necessary to amputate it at the hand. The infection is now spreading and she was brought to the hospital on Tuesday. Insanity costs Indiana $1,718,196 in hard cash. additional cost from loss of productiveness of those afflicted and burdens upon their families is estimated at $2,000,000. The. insanity burden is therefore $3,718,196 annually. This is a tidy sum, a®d under our present methods -will grow larger. Insanity comes out of sickness, ill health and disease; therefore, to cut it down we must raise the public health. When the people give their hearty co-operation to the health authorities in their efforts to prevent disease, then insanity will be lessened and a proportionate saving will be realized.
