# we fail to save our incredulity will get us
nothing but hunger when trouble comes. Pres
ent neglect will find US out of purse, no matter
whether the future brings prosperity or panic.
Present prudence will save US in panic and re-
ward us in prosperity.
"The reward will be substantial to those who
put by their money. If now dollar is worth 30
cents he who puts it by lays up double. Never
was 100 per cent investment more easily carried
out.
History supports this, too. It was more
than five years after Napoleon's fall before con-
ditions returned to normal From three to five
years were required to stabilize the continent
after the Franco-Prussian war. The civil war
ended in 1866 Not until 1877 did reestablish-
ment appear.
1--WE are only a little more than year away
from armistice day. Ar1nistice day was one Of
violent jubilation. We still are celebrating it.
We are spending foolishly and taking small heed
of the future. Regardless Of the disasters which
previous wars have invoked, we are sublimely
living on stills.
''High cost of living always has been the COM
panion of war. This period is discovering nothing
new. The symptoms we perceive have appeared
again and again. They have not failed to sup
port the diagnosis of depression.
"Extravagance does it's part to cheaper the
dollar. Economy nourishes it. Experience shows
us how deprecated currency has followed in the
wake of great disturbances. Experience bids us
beware of ignoring certain systems. The symp-
toms of today are certain. Money put away will
steady us in the almost inevitable depression"

LONDON. Dec. 1O.-The new
poor form a problem that has proved
difficult one for England since the
war. It is no longer the working class
that demands the attention Of social

but the mass of people of the mid

pre-war salaries, with past-war ex-
penses.
Many are in desperate straits, re-
lcent investigation here has proved.
Efforts to dress decently and keep
their children in school, as people
have always done in their station, has
kept them in a continuous struggle to

Mary. which IS the root OF number
less feminine names of simple dignity,
is responsible for romantic Marian.
Like her forerunner, Marian signifies
bitter, but a sweeter name would be
difficult to find. Maria was probably
its direct progenitor and Marian came
about through the introduction Of the
French diminutive on, thus forming
the name of
"A bonny fine maid of noble degree,
Maid Marion by name"
The delightful story of Robin Hood
save fame to her name and as early
as 1882 she as given unique place In
popular favor by the play of Robin
ct Marion" by the students Of Angors,
one of them appearing as Athlete de-
guisee." The origin of MarNnettes is
thus explained: puppets disguised to
play the part of Maid Marion. An
other explanation is that the term
comes from the custom Of calling the
small images of the Blessed Virgin
Varieties or Marionettes and several
streets Of Paris where these tiny fig
ures were sci. up were called the Rues
des Marionettes. Gradually all pup
pets came to be called Marionettes,
and the bauble carried by a court
In France Marion became very pop.
ular; indeed that country rarely &C.
'cepts Marian. Marion was speedily
contracted to Manon and also expand
ed into Marionette, as poem written
lin the thirteenth century gives proof
Scotland has always loved Marion and
maid Marion, fair as an ivory bone
ds popular in rustic pageantry there
They call her Menie occasionally.
Marian's jewel is the agate which
ENSURES an agreeable persuasive man
,ner. averts danger, and gives a bold
courageous heart. According to ar
old poem:
''cAdorned with this thou woman's
heart shall gain,
And by persuasion, thy desire obtain
And If of men thou aught demand
shall come,
With all thy wish fulfilled, rejoicing
home"
Sunday is Marian's lucky day and
her talismanic number. Her flower /:

Made Special Trip to Muncie
to Tell About What the
Great Medicine Did for
Himself and Get More for a
Neishbor.
Could Not Sleep for That
Itching, Terrifying Ecze-
ma-Two Bottles of Dreco
Removed Every Trace Of 1t

Mr.. James Ratcliff, a prosperous
farmer near Radley, Grant Co., Ind,
twenty-five miles from Muncie, gives
the following signed statement for the
benefit Of the public.
II made q special trip to Muncie to-
day to tell about what this new medi-
cine Dreco did for me and to get some
for a neighbor of mine. This Dreco
has almost saved my life. For years
I've suffered from eczema. I'd itch
and scratch all night long; sometimes
I'd get clean out of my bed and sit
in a chair, for there was no rest for
me.
my stomach was also out or order
and my food did me no good but bloat
me up with sour gas. I was very
bilious and my entire system seemed
rundown.
"1've taken two bottles of Dreco
and l want to say that even the red
spots on my body where the eczema
used to be are gone. 1 sleep all night
long in peace; no more itching,
scratching; no sitting up in chairs, as
before. My stomach digests my food
without causing gas to form; my
liver has been cleaned of; in fact,
I'm in fine shape again and give all
the credit to Dreco, the great root and
herb remedy"
The blood has to be cleared of
poisons to get rid of eczema. No bet
ter medicine for this can be obtained
than Dreco, which is made Of the
juices Of roots, herbs. banks and
leaves, which act on the vital organs
and tone them up.
Mr.. Powers, the well known Dreco
expert. has headquarters at Thistleth-
waite's Drug Store, to meet the local
public, and explain the merits of this
great remedy. See him today.-Adv.

The Next American Panic

ut Is fair presumption that we are headed
for economic depression" says the Chicago
Tribune. There is one way to avoid it. We must
,put money away.
IF we fail to save we ignore the disasters of
the past. History may not prove conclusively
that we are in for disturbance, but it points to
moral certainty.
I'VE may escape it. If we do it will be be-
cause the human race has reversed itself. This
is slender hope. It will not soothe the misery
of financial depression.
''The world war has created condition analo-
xous to vacuum. The ensuing crush is certain to
cause many topplings. It happened so in Europe
after the Napoleonic wars. It was repeated after
the war of 1870. The period following the civil
swar was one of extreme disruption. Possibly we
are immune from the dangers that burst in all
these periods. The evidence of experience is
against US.
IF we put by our money we may affect to
sneer at alarms. It is the only safe way to sheer.

Gardeners should interpret
literally the adage, "Don't let the

according to Miss Ola Overbey,

sion, Louisiana State University,
who advises that frequent shallow
cultivation be practieed for keep
ing down grass and weeds and
also to conserve moisture for the

IA mistake that many garden
ers make.'' says Miss Overbey
is to neglect spaces where vege-

their stage of usefulness. Such
vegetables should be removed te
