COUNTY'S HAND LIFTS JOBLESS FROMDESPAIR Thousands of Dire Cases Draw Relief From Trustee’s Office. BY CARLOS LANE Loading a truck at a foundry several months ago he fell and broke his back. He is able to walk, but maybe he never will attain full use of the muscles that earned a small wage to support his family. For some time after the mishap he received compensation—slightly more than half his wage—under the Indiana law that insures employes of some income in event of such disaster. Then he was asked to sign a contract for a lesser amount, refused and now is given nothing. Doubtless he soon will get the weekly allowance again, for the state industrial board is to hear his case, but when he applied for temporary relief from Miss Hannah Noone, Center township trustee, there was not a cent in the house, no fuel, and only a little food. Youth in Rebellion The investigator from the trustee's office heard his story—she already knew most of the details from a previous call—and promised immediate relief, a basket of groceries, and coal. But a portion—and to him the unbearable burden—of the tragedy that smothered the little household had not been told, and he did not tell it until tears in his pained eyes betrayed him. “All this is bad,” he sobbed. “But the worst—the worst of all is my little girl. She went to school yesterday, and she hasn’t come back.” He looked wistfully at the photograph of a pretty 14-year-old girl. In answer to a question, he explained that there was ho puppy love, with possibly an elopement, back of her disappearance. “She said once she wanted to go to Florida,” he said. Food Little Solace The story was rather obvious. Pretty 14-year-old girls, though never accustomed to great luxuries, easily might be too sensitive in the presence of schoolmates, when even pennies no longer could be had for cheap little pleasures the others shared. Sympathetically, the investigator tried to assure the stricken father that young girls often get a touch of romantic, wanderlust fever that wears off with a little experience. “We can warm his home, and give him food, but we can’t soothe that tortured heart much, can we?” she asked as she left the house. Thousands Are Aided Perhaps it was not in her power to alleviate more than the physical distress of this one man, but to thousands of other poverty stricken, unemployed men in Center township this year, it is a task and that of her comrades, working out of the trustee's office, to bring new faith and confidence. “A man with a family, just barely able to support them on a small wage, feels the responsibility heavily if that job is lost suddenly,” she said. Some, rebellious at society for the misfortune they can not comprehend, turn to crime—under the platitude that “necessity knows no law.” Others are beaten by despair, ready to quit; some go on, fighting a losing battle to keep their households intact.

• J Stubborn Coughs Ended by Recipe, Mixed at Home Here is-'the famous old recipe which millions of housewives have found to be the most dependable means of breaking up stubborn coughs due to colds. It takes but a moment to prepare, costa little, end saves money, but it gives real relief even for those dreaded coughs that follow, severe eqld epidemics.
