This Is My 45th Birthday DAVID WAR FIELD. David War field, who la regarded by ome critics as the leading American actor of today, born In San Fran claco, November 28. 1865. and received his early education In the .public schools of that city. It was In San Francisco also that he made his first appearance on the stage, playing rain or parts. From San Francisco he drifted to the east and became what wa then termed a variety actor, but what Is now generally known as vaudeville performer. For a number of years he was a Hebrew Imperson ator la well known variety companies and musical comedies, with Joseph Weber, Lew Fields and other prominent players of the present day as his early associates. Late In the 90's Mr. Warfield's ability to rise above the part of a Hebrew comedian was discovered by David Beuasco, who took him under his management and agreed to provide him with a suitable play. The result was "The Auctioneer," which provided the vehicle for Mr. Warfield's debut In the legitimate drama. Since ttat time his success has been very great, especially In his play,' The Music Master, first produced in 1904, la which he appeared for four seasons. .
Slot Machines and Business
When the Liquor Dealers' association took the step of putting the vending machines with their slot machine features out of all their places of business it simply showed good sense. Tbe slot machines ought never to have been allowed to come into town. Although they still are present In other places of business we hope it Is only a matter of days until they go. It must be understood that the machines are not a technical violation of the law because they are a technical evasion. It is even probable that a court which looks at the spirit rather than the letter of the law would hold (as any citizen would after looking at them for a few minutes) that there intent is of a gambling nature. Certainly no fairminded man who watches them long can doubt that they are intrinsically bad as a gambling device pure and simple. In fact they are worse because they purport to be simply vending machines. If they had been merely that there would be enough chewing gum on the street to stick a four-mule team.
Therefore when the Liquor Dealers took this matter up; acted upon it; and speedily removed these machines it becomes more than an everyday happening. The cynical will remark that the liquor dealers did this for their own advantage but the cynical will also have to admit that the majority of human beings sell, buy, and keep out of the hands of the law for their own advantage also. For our part if the saloon men of Richmond have learned, as the cynical may suggest, that the best thing for their interests Is to be decent and law abiding if they have learned that their business is better when they keep the spirit as well as the letter of the law we submit that this is more than the average business taken as a whole, has yet discovered. And they have. That this is the spirit of the liquor dealers we have no doubt. It Is not often that we have said anything on this subject, Tut perhaps this Is just as good a time as any to remark that the selling of liquor to minors and habitual drunkards has to all Intents and purposes gone out of Richmond. This is certainly true except in those isolated instances which prove the rule things which always will happen and which can not be expected not to happen. This is the work of the organization. We submit that there is no other town that we have even heard of in Indiana where the spirit of living up to the law has been so marked as in Richmond.
As men look back at the late election while there, is common talk and common knowledge of how the forces of saloons and breweries lined up and precisely what they did in other parts of the state in many cases how much money was used, where it came from and who got it there is one community which saw none of this and that is Richmond. That is not a coincidence, it is another example.
Looking it all over, the action of the liquor dealers in carrying out their promises made long after the county local option election is more than creditable. It needs to be compared to the situation in every other community in Indiana and it will be found to stand out for its decency . and Its true honesty. Rabbit tracks in the snow are not indeed tbe rabbit but they show distinctly where the rabbit was proceeding. The slot machine Instance may seem a very little thing to most people perhaps it is not worth much v discussion, but it is an example which is yet to be folowed by such large - special interests as the railroads, tbe United States Steel company, and the Standard Oil, which daily violate the spirit and often the letter of the law. Taken at its true worth it is good citizenship and good business and good business ought always to mean good citizenship. These may seem commonplaces but we know of no other organization which Is doing the like in Indiana if there be others we are glad to hear of them because it is precisely such things which hold together society and make it worth something. The lesson for it is a lesson is the more noteworthy in that the common belief is that the man who sells beer is an outcast while we know that there be many who sell adulterated products of other sorts who are praised as good business men.

The organization is to place memor
ial tablets in different parts of the county wherever there is any object of historical significance. A committee including Caleb King and Lee Ault has been appointed who will have this work in charge. The tablets will be of some metal, probably bronze. It is felt that in this way the more inter esting historical occurrences and rel ics may be preserved to the memory of posterity. A resolution was passed approving of the construction of a new state 11 brary and historical building at Indianapolis. Among the several valuable relics which have been added to the society's collection is the diploma given to the late Dr. James Mendenhall, who was the first practicing physician in Wayne county.

St. Louis, Nov, 28. Miss Ida Gordon Stables, a daughter of a noted English) author and captain of the land yacht Wanderer, is in St. Louis" for the purpose of turning society women into gypsies. A charming young woman is Miss Gordon-Stables, with luminous darkbrown eyes, a complexion that owes nothing to cosmetics and an ease and grace of carriage that comes of twenty years of outdoor life. "Any woman can find health and happiness if she will be a gypsy, she told a reporter. j "Caravanning is a species of restora-; tion and recreation unknown in Amerl-! ca. but I hope to introduce it Into this country.

"I am quite sure that if Americans once take up the pastime of caravan ning it will become extremely popular." With the affection of a sailor for his ship, Miss Gordon-Stables always refers to the Wanderer as "she." Accommodations for Four. "You could not Imagine any craft more shipshape," she said. "Her finish is of mahogany throughout and she has living accommodations for four persons. Besides the sleeping apartments there Is a living room and a kitchen. Our bathroom, I think. Is quite ingenious. We stretch curtains around the driver's seat and the dash board and bathe in a collapsible tub on the front platform as, I think, you would call It In America. "Caravan life is a delightful exis tence. My father, Dr. William GordonStables, a noted physician and surgeon, who died less than a year ago. used to say that It was a specific for nervous diseases. It is the ideal rest cure. It Is much better, even, than living in the most attractive of country homes, because of the daily change of surroundings and scenery.

Is that the ordinary preparations are very constipating; and after a while they aggravate the congestion and bring; on fever and pneumonia. To avoid pneumonia the bowels should be laxative and the cough will soon be overcome. The finest acting, most pleasant tasting and laxative cough syrup can be made at home by anyone. Obtain from a well stocked druggist 2 V, ounces of essence mentho-Iaxene; empty it into a pint bottle. Make a syrup with a pint of granulated sugar and a half pint boiling water; stir and let cool. Then fill up the bottle- with syrup. Shake It well and take a teaspoonful every hour or two until the cough is cured. This is th t t quickest acting and surest cough remedy ever conceived.

As a rule we avoid the towns Snd keep to the open country. "We carrv a stock of provisions, and for variety we have fresh milk, butter, ergs and poultry obtained from farmers.

WHAT CLEAN BLOOD MEANS They used to accuse Dr. A. B, Simpson, one of the famous physicians of Indiana, of having a cure-all because his great reputation was established largely on one prescription, the most effective , alterative or blood-purifier known. "No," he would remark, "It will not cure consumption, nor typhoid, nor any one of a hundred common diseases. It simply purifies the blood, but it does that very thoroughly." What are the symptoms of poisoned. Impure blood? They range all the way from the dreadful syphilis to a muddy complexion. They Include inflammatory rheumatism, catarrh, scrofula, eczema, erysipelas, pimples, boils, run ning sores, erysipelas, pimples, boils, and a number of similar afflictions. All these yielded readily to Dr. Simpson's treatment. And during the forty years this preparation has been on the market as Dr. A. B. Simpson's Vegetable Compound It has never failed in a single case. The very worst cases of syphillia have been cured as well as all the other blood diseases named above and the same compound has always given clear, clean complexions to those, otherwise in good health. It is sold at $1.00 a bottle at all drug stores.
