All the world will rejoice if the Frledmann cure proves more genuine and its benefits stand conclusive tests, but it is cruel to exaggerate the meaning of the early, reports from sufferers treated by the Derlin doctor or under his direction. Time and scientific investigation will tell how sure and vital the gains are, and for the present all that can rightfully be said is that nothing has been discovered w hich invalidates his claims or justifies positive conclusions, one way or the other.

CHARITY AT HOME. - Thousands of dollars have been
collected and more will be obtained
n this region for the Ohio and Indi
ana flood sufferers.
It would be well now for the peo
ple of this region to confine their aid to the flood sufferers In our own state.
Relief measures are pretty well or
ganized for Dayton and thousands of
dollars will pour into the Ohio fund. In our own state there, is almost as great need at Peru, Logansport,
Plymouth, "West Indianapolis, Terre Haute and other points. -The Dayton
catastrophe being better advertised is
receiving the bulk of the aid. However, we mustn't overlook suffering at home. THE TIMES suggests that from now all relief moneys collected

THE MINIMUM WAGE. There is one angle to the minimum
wage proposition that often is overlooked.
Every employer of labor knows that
there are certain persons who through
lack of mentality, or application, or just plain stamnia are never able to command a wage of any proportion. There ne'er do wells drift in to posi

verdict
of those who saw Olive vail In the show at the Hammond theatre a few weeks ago and last night had the opportunity to see the same cast with the exception of Miss Vail and one or two others. s The thing moves along faster and there is really every good feature from the original production retained. As an entertainment the 10 and 20-cent show is superior to the 1 to $1.50 pro-
The behind the scenes scene got a heartier and more enthusiastic laugh out of its audience at the Orphenm theatre than it did at the Hammond. It was really funnier. There was really no difference in the scenery. The costumes were newer and in some instances better taste in their selection was used. Of the orginal cast there was Joseph Neimeyer, playing the part of Harold Martin, Jessie Maker playing Nina, the Italian "girl, in which she Introduces some Individualistic1 dances, and a number of others. Sarah Marie, playinn the part of the
widow, Mrs. Patterson, was as good ai Olive aVil in the part so far as the ordinarily critical could nee. In fact it would take a stretch of the imagination to see much difference in the ability of the two. Miss Vail, of course, being the more experienced and more finished actress. The stage scene was better than In the original production. The advantage of brevity Is a distinct one here. In the original production the fun was too long drawn out. Besides the scene is true to real lifo. "Miss Nobody from starland" Is unquestionably the triumph of tha tabloid musical comedy.
