HELP PARENTS Frank I). Loomis Says Parents Need Help as Well • as Children IN SPEECH TODAY Newest Methods of Conducting Welfare Work is Explained. (United Press Service) Detroit, Mich., Mar. 7 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —The newest thing in welfare work is "constructive social work.” according to Frank D. Loomis of Indianapolis, who had addressed the Michigan Child Welfare conference at the Hotel Statler here today. “Twenty-five years ago we wera talking of cure only,” said Loomis. "A little later we were talking of prevention. Today the keynote of social work is affirmative, positive and progressive. The newest thing is constructive social work.” Loomis, who is general secretary of the chidlren’s aid association of Indianapolis, said there is no greater heresy today than the theory that social work is concerned only with groups rather than individuals. Loomis said that it is a mistake to spend one's whole time helping the children. The parents need attention, he said. ELECTION FRAUDS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) about the polls. All three were working for candidates. Rogers and Sylveser Jordan were also defendants in the big Terre Haute election conspiracy trial in Indianapolis and they began a feud with a fight in the Marion county jail after Rogers had pleaded guilty and given testimony that brought six months to Jordan. Ed Holler had but recently returned from Leavenworth prison where he served a year’s sentence for election conspiracy. When Isaac Harris, democratic election inspector of another precinct, threatened to shoot Charles Anderson, republican sheriff, he was arrested. Charges of election frauds were numerous. 4 —nt PRIMARY IS ON TODAY The primary election is on today all ever Indiana.

I. _____ True Secret of Keeping Youthful Looking (The Beauty Seeker.) “The real secret of keeping young-looking and beautiful,” says a well-known hygienist, “is to keep the liver and bowels normally active. Without these requisites, poisonous waste products remain in the system, polluting the blood and lodging in various organs, tissues, joints. On: becomes flabby, obese, nervous, mentally sluggish, dull-eyed, wrinkled and sallow of face. “But to get liver and bowels working as they ought, without producing evil after-effects has been the problem. Fortunately, there is a prescription of unquestioned merit, which may now be had in convenient tablet form. Its value is due largely to an ingredient derived from the humble May apple, or its root, which has been called ‘vegetable calomel* because of its effectiveness —though, of course, it is not to be. classed with the real calomel of mercurial origin. There is no habit-forming constituent in ‘sentanel* tablets —that’s the name—and their use is not followed by weakness or exhaustion. On the contrary, these harmless vegetable tablets tend to impart tone and elasticity to the relaxed intestinal wall. ’ Sentanel tablets, which may be procured from any druggist—a dime’s worth will do —will prove a revelation to any constipated, livertroubled person.” |~~The Constipation Curse | Constipation - clogged bowels cause pain and sickness; 95 per cent of our ills, say the authorities. Sentanel Laxatives bring quick relief. All vegetable — contain no calomel. Ten doses for a dime at any druggists. Physician’s sample free, upon request, if you mention this advertisement. The Sentanel Remedies Co., inc., 800 Maulson Ave., Covington, Ky. MUST SELL AT ONCE. I have been authorized to sell the Jacob Blew property on North Third street.
