Mr. Barnard brought the matter of short-weight flour to the attention of the recent state convention of the Indiana Millers Association, and it was found that most of the millers of this state were complying with the law by giving full weight flour.

(Palladium Special) Indianapolis, June !. J. IL Brewster

water chemist for the state board of health has gone to Valparaiso to estab

lish a water laboratory for the Valpa

raiso Water Company. The company has been having some trouble with its water supply and it wishes to find out where the trouble lies. In order to do this it appealed to the state, board of health and the board decided to send Mr. Brewster to that city to establish a laboratory in which tests may be made. From Valparaiso Mr. Brewster will go to Hammond, where the most serious water situation in the state is preeented. Mir. Brewster was in the Calumet region nearly all of last summer with a temporary laboratory for the purpose of making observations and analyses of the water and sewage conditions. This year he will take up the work where he left off last fall, and he will undertake to collect data in regard to the whole Calumet river situation, including the amount of sewage that goes into the river and its tributaries, the flow, etc. Question Needs Attention. H. K. Barnard, state food and drug commissioner and chief chemist for the board of health has direct general mpervision over the work which Mr.

Brewster is doing. lie believes the situation in the Calumet region Aa orvo which the people of that section of the Btate will have to solve before very many years. "If the people of Hammond, Gary. East Chicago. Whiting and the rest of the Lake county cities would quit fighting among themselves over annexation nnd the name of the consolidated city they would have more time to pay attention to the water and sanitary sitiation.M he said. "Conditions are bad and sooner or later they must be met and overcome. I have no doubt but that It will cost $oO,XH,fMH to correct the conditions in the Calumet region, but the people seem to be in favor of spending the money to do it. The cities appear to be putting themselves in shape to start the great work at no distant dhte." There is no other sei tion of the state In which the sanitary situation is so great a problem as it is in the Calumet region. Short-weight Butter. Mr. Barnard is after another matter, also, in the northern part of the f tate, but it is of a different character. It is n. esse of crookedness, lie is after the short-weight dealers who sell bitter. He says the inspectors of the State Board of Health have found in several places where dealers were doing this. It is especially true of dairy butter, he says. Some of the inspectors purchased samples at many of the stores in the northern Indiana cities. In each instance they purchased a half pound, and when the butter was weighed it was found to be from one ounce to two ounces short in weight.

Y. M. B. C. Benefit. The sale of tickets to date indicates that the Young Men's Business Club has made a wise selection in their first attempt to raise funds for convention purposes. The sale also shows that there are many boosters in Richmond and everyone wishes to be one of the boosters that are instrumental in spreading the name of Richmond throughout the land. Manager Murray has secured as his principal attraction for next week, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, being the Convention Fund Benefit days, the most sensational novelty ever introduced into this country, coming direct from the Paris Hippodrome. Miss Margaret Ryan as the Girl, is by no means unknown in the theatrical world as she has been identified with some of the most successful dramatic and musical plays in the past few years. In this act she will be seen wearing the latest Parisian fashions both in gowns and hats and as a climax a large eagle is seen to . swoop down, grasping the little lady in its talons, carry her out over the heads Oi the audience, Miss Ryan still singing and not in the least frightened. It is necessary to state that the fire laws of the state of Indiana do not perimt the hanging of wires in the theater. In order that there may be no misunderstanding in the sale of these tickets it should be kept in mind that all Convention Fund Benefit tick

ets must be exchanged at the box office at the Murray theater for regular admission tickets, tne value of exchange being 10 cents, the cost of each t.cket. The asual prices will prevail next Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, so that by making exchange the Convention Benefit Fund ticket will admit to any matinee on the four days and to evening performance by the addition of 5, 10 or 1." cents, according to the location of the seat desired by the holder. These special tickets are good only on these four days.

The pine is the greatest American tree. It has been of the widest use. is most in demand, and has enriched its

tens of thousands of men. The most j fashionable tourist and health resorts

in the south are in the "piney woods" regions vide Aiken, S. C; Pinehurst, N. C; Thomasville, Ga., and others. It is the resinous quality of the ozone that attracts the health and pleasure seekers. Also the piney woods country affords the finest of fruits, vegetables and melons. Living is cheap among the pines, health good and the people well fed. Dallas (Tex.) News.

The story of the Paterson, X. J., man who took a raw egg in a class of beer and in his haste to swallow the mixture to avoid tasting the egg, gulped down his false teeth, says the Manchester, (N. II.) Union, reminds one of the Kentucky colonel who ate a breakfast every day, which consisted of a nice juicy steak, a bottle of whisky and a dog. He had the dog to eat the steak.

Radiant Hair

The Rivals. Jessica Pond, who is coaching the cast for the "Rivals" the play to be presented in the assembly hall of the high school on Tuesday evening, June 14, has announced some of the features that will render the coming production unique. So far as is known, no local presentation of "The Rivals' has represented as many of the eighteenth century stage accecsories as will the coming high school production. Miss Pond is coaching a minuet that will be seen during the last act. Twenty-two appropriately dressed dancers . will dance this stately dance. It is expected that the minuet will prove very attractive. The Eiglish department of the high school has co-operated with Miss Pond to reproduce some of the accessories of the late eighteenth century stage. Following the custom of that period English grenadiers in full regimentals will be stationed at each end of the proscenium . arch. The presence of grenadiers on the stage during that period is more or less directly connected with the presence of the "beefeat

ers" on the Elizabethan stage, a hun

dred and fifty years or more before

Similarly, during the mediaeval presentations of morality plays, monks were stationed in the pageants, or wagons that bore the actors and their miniature stages through the streets from place to place to pull aside the

EVERY WOMAN CAN HAVE IN THESE MODERN DAYS Nothing keeps a woman youthful more than close attention to the hair. Any woman whose hair is dull, faded or lusterlcss cannot be either beautiful or attractive. Dull hair casts around its owner an environment of stupidness, while the

woman with the brilliant, lustrous and luxuriant hair, though she may be far inferior in intellect than her dull haired sister, carries off the honors because of her resplendent hair. In Paris where plain women know how to make and keep themselves beautiful, the great hair dressing called Parisian Sage is much in- demand. And since the introduction of Parisian Sage into America over three years ago, society women in all the large cities have learned that the easiest, quickest and surest way to turn lifeless dull and unattractive hair into brilliant lustrous and luxuriant hair is to use Parisian Sage. Parisian Sage is sold by leading druggists in every town in America and by Leo H. Fihe who guarantees it to cure dandruff, stop falling hair and itching scalp in two weeks or money back. Fifty cents for a large bottle of Parisian Sage. It is a most daintily perfumed hair dressing and it is not sticky or greasy. The girl with the auburn hair is on every bottle.

He says on inspector called on the police judge in one place nnd laid the matter before him, and the judge refused to have anything to do with the

case, for the reason that he used to be j

in business himself. Then the inspector went to a couple of lustlces of the peace, he says, and they would not take the cases. But Mr. Bamerd says the inspectors will go right ahead and show up the dealers in all places where they may be found selling short weight. Flour Swindle, Also. Short weight flour is another article of which the Inspectors find much in the stores throughout the state. Where an eighth barrel bag should weigh 24 pounds gross, or even less, some of the bags running as low as 22 pounds. The Inspectors are on the look-out for this bhort-wetght flour, and wherever they find it they require the dealer to increase the weight and bring It up to the required amount. Some days ago an inspector found a lot of short-weight flour in a grocery Ftore at Linton. He required the deal-

Washing and ironing are the two hardest kinds of work a woman has to do and they're doubly hard when she hasn't all the modern conveniences that go to make her work easier. You'll find most everything here that has been invented that will really lessen woman's work on these daysall good and tried articles and selling at prices that put them within the reach of every, one.

Washing Machines A wide range of washing machines and a good machine in most any style for most any price. The ordinary open machine may be bought for $2.50, a closed one sells for $3.75. Some better ones go at $5.50 and $8 and then there are two makes of motor washers which sell for $13 and $15. Wringers A number of grades of good wringers, we carry no "cheap" wringers for the person who buys such a wringer becomes a dissatisfied customer and we don't want that kind. Prices range from $2.50 to $4.75 and quality ranges upward with the price. Wash Boards The rubbing surfaces of these boards are rough enough to loosen Vie dirt but they aren't rough enough to tear the clothes. A zinc covered board sells for 25c. A brass covered board sells for 30c. A glass covered board sells for 40c. Gasoline and Alcohol Irons These do equally as good work as the electrics, and for the home who does not have electricity they are most essential. It's very little trouble to start these irons and you can iron continuously for 2y2 hours with one fi'ling of the tank. There is no danger connected with their use and at the price $3.50 there is no reason why any woman should do her ironing in the old, hard way. Hampers These Hampers are made from the same superior willow. They are carried in several sizes and three shapes, the round, the square and the tri- . angular. Made in these shapes so they will fit into corners and not take up needed room. Selling from $2 upward.

SPEC

Galvanized Buckets We've one lot of extra quality galvanized buckets, made from heavy galvanized steel with protected bottom, turned rim and well soldered seams, a bucket that would ordinarily retail from 35 to 50c that we will offer for this limited time for 25c. It's a 12 quart bucket. Electric Irons The Westinghouse Irons that's the whole story, for, when you say "Westinghouse" you don't need words to tell about their good points, for you know they're the best. This year we've been able to reduce the prices on these irons and we're selling the $5 iron for $4.50 and the $5.50 iron for $5. These are one of the greatest energy savers ever offered women and no home should be without one. Sleeve Boards We've a medium weight, convenient size, covered sleeve board that has been a big seller at 75c, but for these four days you may have them for 59c each. They'll go fast at this rate. A Little Girls' Clothes Basket We've a number of the Australian Willow baskets made just like the big ones in a little girl's size. They're handy things for clothes pins, too. We're selling these at cost for these four days for 20c each.

Wash Boilers Tin wash boilers with copper bottoms will give good service and we can sell you these for $1.50 and $1.75. Of course the solid copper boilers are the best you can buy and when you know that the ones we sell weigh 9 and 10 pounds, you can see why they sell for $3 and $3.25. . .

Sad Irons The justly famous Dover Asbestos Sad Irons, the irons that keep hot for a long time, the irons that don't burn and blister the hands, the irons with the heat where it ought to be. No other irons ever made have equalled these as satisfaction givers. They sell for $1.75 for a set of 3 irons. Mrs. Potts irons are the next best thing in the sad iron line and they sell for $1.25 for a set of three. Clothes Baskets . This is a new line with us, but we've gotten in about the most attractive collection of baskets you ever saw.
