Day, Chancellor of Syracuse University, was born in Washington County, Maine, October 17, i 1146, and received his education at ; Bowdoin College. He entered the Methodist ministry in 1872 and filled various pastorates in New England cities before be was called to the pulpit of Calvary Methodist Episcopal Church In New York city. While he was pastor of this church in 1893, he was elected chancellor of Syracuse University which now has faculties numbering 250 and an enrollment of nearly 3,600 students. Dr. Day is recognised as one of the foremost educators In the country, and as a preacher be Is said to have few equals in the Methodist communion. He was elected a bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church In 1904, but resigned in order to continue his work at the university. KNOCKED OUT BY A WOMAN. Last Monday Mrs. John Hogan, an Ohio woman, did her washing in two hours a Job that had always taken the whole morning. But this time she took the advice of several friends aud used Hewitt's Easy Task Soap, which does the hard part of the' work and does it in half the time required by the bid fashioned boiling and rubbing methods. Five cents a cake. Ma.::-j o. Lost Tim. "You dou't cjok like Mary, my first wife, used to da. Alice." he said in tones of gentle. . exasperating reproof. "Ne; it seems to me you can't cook like be used to." On another occasion be remarked: "You are not so smart at getting boot as Mary was. You don't appear te catcb on where she left off." About' this time a heavy, rolling pin came In contact with his head. "What do jreu mean by that, you 7 ho exclaimed In agony. "I am doing the work that Mary neglected," she replied. There was more peace in that famlafterward. Shells. tn the Smithsonian Institution, at Washington, there Is a collection of 00,000 shells, many of them of a huge else, ethers strangely formed and some of Iridescent colors which rival the hues of sunset. THE HERPICIDE GIRL IS THANKFUL I am always grateful for real blessings, and I know of nothing that I need to be more thankful for than Newbro's Herpicide. Thousands of ladies not only In the United States but all over the world feel the same way about it To this wonderful scalp and hair remedy they owe their soft, long, beautiful hair. Mary J. Terry, of Lovejoy, 111., writes : "My hair came out until there was Just a scanty cover for the scalp, I tried everything I ever heard of or read about until I Anally used Herpicide. There Is nothing like it. My head Is now covered with new hair. I shall forever praise herpicide." Most hair troubles come from dandruff. Newbro's Herpicide removes this dandruff by killing the germ which causes It It also stimplates a flow of blood which nourishes the follicles. The scalp being healthy, the hair does not come out and the new hair Is allowed to grow. There are other preparations which they say are "Just as good" as Herpiddo. It Is not advisable to try them. Instead of doing any good they may do positive nana. No one Is ever disappointed in Newbro's Herpicide. The results are always the same, always satisfactory as Is Indicated by the fact that Herpicide has been sold for years and has thousands of satisfied friends. It Is the only genuine, original dandruff germ destroyer. There is nothing "Just as good. One dollar stse bottles are sold and guaranteed by all druggists. Applications at good barber shops.

A Richmond Pure Food Bureau The work of Dr. Wiley is well known to American citizens. They know that he has labored long in order to furnish American citizens with some knowledge of what they put into their stomachs. As the so-called "pure food law" stands now through its modifications by such people as Solicitor McCabe and the influences that back him there remains much to be done by the public itself. In most cases the pure food law merely puts a statement of the Ingredients of the foods on the outside of the package. The most flagrant abuses are thus checked. But there remain many things which housekeepers do not know about their foods which they buy on the markets.

In Earlham College and in the Richmond High School there are departments of chemistry. Most young people take chemistry simply because it is on the list of studies, because it fits in with their program or for a great many other reasons which are more or less whimsical. Within the last few weeks Collier's Weekly has given full publicity ' to the operations of a department of chemistry in a Massachusetts high school. It was in a town about the size of Richmond. In that school there has been developed a study of foods which was such as to make chemistry interesting and useful to the students and a means of furnishing the town with information regarding adulterated foods. It is very often that some one arises and justly or unjustly takes a fall out of the curriculum of high schools and colleges in proclaiming that they do not measure up to a high enough standard of usefulness. And while we are far from insisting that seats of learning must of necessity perform useful service which can be measured in terms of dollars and cents none the less if the chemistry departments of the Richmond High School and Earlham could be placed at the service of this community in reporting on adulterations of food this would be a most progressive and obviously valuable thing.

No work of this sort can be complete without publicity to the findings of such work and therefore the Palladium announces that such a movement and such work would receive our co-operation if it is taken up.

The Palladium mentioned the growing tendency of Earlham toward progressive and efficient service last spring when the campaign was on to secure more funds for that institution. We have not consulted with Earlham on this matter but the work and instruction in Earlham are such that it is to be assumed that it always stands ready for service of this character. And the High School of a progressive town like Richmond under its present teaching" force is properly reaching out in all directions to justify the investment of money which the citizens of the town have put into it. While this movement is still almost in its infancy it has gained a headway which shows that it will spread to every community in which there is a department of chemistry. We hope that Richmond will be the first in Indiana to take up the movement toward real efficiency in education and toward real health and unadulterated food. What people put into their stomachs is a very important matter. Certain food stuffs are prepared with artificial coloring matter. People would not put them into their stomachs if they knew exactly what was in them. It is well enough to cheer for Dr. Wiley but if people do not take up his work the community does not get the real benefit of Dr. Wiley's work. This is the beginning of the school term and there is no better time to begin a movement for a testing of foods. We shall be surprised if the sellers of food products do not welcome this movement and get behind it. There is no better way to establish the good will of a community than to show that good will and good will is the most important single factor in any private business. In what better way can a seller of food products show his good will than by helping in a movement for pure food?

Politics and Politicians Five states, North Dakota, Wiscinsln, Nebraska, Oregon and New Jersey, will by law choose delegates to the national convention next year by direct vote. New York State with its ninety delegates to the national convention of the two parties next year will practically make up one-tenth of the con ventions. Richard Yates, who was governor of Illinois from 1901 to 1905, has announ ced his Intention to seek the Republican nomination for the office again next year. Associate Justice W. F. Ramsey of Texas supreme court, who is known as a strong advocate of prohibition, will try for the Democratic nomination for governor of Texas. Congressman Underwood of . Alabama has been making speeches in behalf of the Democratic ticket in Kentucky, of which State he is a native. According to political rumor in Illi nois an unsuccessful effort has been made to Induce Senator Cullom to withdraw from the race for re-election in favor of Governor Deneen. Congressman Arthur L. Bates, who has represented one of the Pennsylvania districts In the House for the past ten years, has announced his intention to retire at the end of his present term. United States Senator W. Murray Crane has assumed the active leadership of the Republican party in Massachusetts, and is directing the light to prevent the re-election of Governor Fobs. Congressman Morris Sheppard, who appears to be one of the most prominent aspirants for the seat of Joseph W. Bailey in the United States senate, has represented the First Texas district since he was twenty-six years old. It is said the Republican Progressive League of Illinois is planning to put a full state ticket in the field for the Republican primary elnection next year, when a governor and other state officials will be elected.

Harry was visiting in Kentucky recently, and became suddenly ill. The attending physician in Kentucky told him he had better go home at once, and consequently .when he arrived in this city yesterday morning, the family doctor discovered he had diphtheria. Local health authorities are much pleased over the diphtheria situation here now, for this is the only local case, and it originated outside of the state. Ample Provision. Life Insurance Agent My dear rir have you made any provision for thosi who come after you? Harduppe Yes: I put the dog at th dor and told the servant to say 'm out of town. A HISTORY'

EVERYBODY'S FRIEND The old family doctor, of whom so few are now seen in tbis age of "specialists" was the valued friend and adviser of his patients. They depended on him to keep them in health, and cheer them with his counsel. He taught them the wisdom of preventing illness by watching closely after the health of the family. Mrs. S. H. DuBois writes from her home at Hempstead, L. I.: "Vinol is an old friend of our family. We have used it for years whenever any of us

need a tonic on account of being in a rundown state of health, and it al ways gives perfect satisfaction. We have used nine bottles this winter." There are thousands of families who could and do say the same thing. Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron preparation without oil, has proved its value by bringing back rugged health and strength to vast numbers of weak, rundown men, women and children. That is why we sell so much and guarantee it to give satisfaction. If it disappoints you, you can have your money back at once. Leo. H. Fine, Druggist, Richmond, Ind. MRS. HARRY LEHR.

According to the bill at the Murray this week there are islands in Arabia. Of course this may be intended for a dark blue joke, and, indeed, smoke arose from something or othec before the lights were turned on. Maybe it was the volcano in the middle distance. However there is no doubt but that the Arabians are upon us. Last week they arrived from Italy it was a canard that stated they were from Piqua and this week from England. No real for sure Arab could have anything on the one in the toga yesterday. Referring to the program we find this is the Arabian Sheik. After this he should be easily recognized. But where were the Bedouins! There were four on the program but none on the stage. At least in the afternoon. This all refers to "The Magic Horse," the headliner at the Murray this week. Further reference to the useful program describes this as "A Modern Fairy Tale, suggested by the tale of the Flying Horse in the Arabian Nights." This description is more illuminating than the stage transcript, for if you hadn't looked on the program you would have thought this was the vaudeville melting pot into which everything from the beginning to the crack of doom had been thrown. No doubt they mean well but the cockney idea of an American audience's joke calibre is always more or less melancholy. Even a ten cent audience should have some consideration. Two of the principals do some clever dancing. Dolly Burton's dogs do the star stunts, especially three grey-hounds who took some high hurdles In true sporting form. Not the least attractive figure in this "act" is Dolly Burton herself. Eleanor Kissell, a cute little girl, who ought to be at home in bed, dances nicely and sings. Some clever gun spinning is done by "Lessick and Anita," who also have several combination activities with monkeys, pictures of the founders of the Republic and a canary bird. The canary bird also shows itself to be possessed of good sporting blood and sings an accompaniment to the feminine soloist with charming thrills. E. G. W. A Curiosity In .No.-nonolaturs.

'Gentlemen: For four years I was troubled with cougn, which gradually became worse: I had night sweats and pains in my chest. I was losing mv appetite and had become so thin and weak I could not attend to my household duties. A physician pronounced my case Consumption. Not being satisfied, I was examined by the physicians of the Polytechnic Hospital; they also pronounced the disease Consumption, which was proven later by an examination ot, sputum, as Tuberculosis Bacilli ws found. I was ordered to a Consumptive Hospital. My nephew would not allow me to go until I had tried Eckman's Alterative. Before I had taken the medicine three weeks I had marked relief, night sweats ceased; pain In the breast relieved; cough became loose and easy; fever left me and I commenced getting well. My health became normal. I am in excellent health now and have been completely cured for ten years. I strongly recommend it." (Signed (MRs.) MARY WASSON.

Consolidation of The Country Schools Held as Cause of Decline of Sociability

BY ISAAC L. TOTTEN. T-U I. I. M . 1 V. 1 ? tunc una uvtru. a ycij uvumuw decline of neighborliness in Richmond's rural districts during the past few years, which is due, in a large measure, to the consolidation of country schools. Let us say in the beginning, that it is not the purpose of this article to decry modern educational methods, because no fair minded person would make any objections to the system that provides for the country boys and girls the same educationl advantages that are provided for the children in the city. It is our aim to arouse, if we can, a little of that old time nearness between neighboring farmers bring back to life; as it were, that spark of hospitality, and that common-interest-feeling that was so much in evidence only a few years back. It is often the case in progressive moves that many intermediate points are overlooked, and it becomes necessary to go back and bring these up to the standard established in the forward movement. When the schools in the various districts are abandoned to give way to the consolidation plan, it was not foreseen that the one place which the farmers had of getting together was being taken away. Of course, the building itself was not taken away, but the initiative force was. It is seldom now that we have our spelling bees, literaries and socials of various kinds that were enjoyed before the schools were abandoned. There seems to be no one(now to take the initiative, and we all stay at home and wonder why the neighbors are not more sociable. This lack of neighborliness is a common topic when farmers get together, yet, like so many other things, there seems to be plenty wno are willing to talk, but none who are willing to act in trying to arouse, or bring into existence, as it. were, something that would cause farmers ana farmer's wives and their sons and daughters to get together on a more sociable basis. Is there not someone In each farm neighborhood who will take it upon himself or herself to try to organize a farm life club, as many of the country life folks have been doing in the northwest. Perhaps the old abandoned school building still stands in your locality where it is only a rendezvous for tramps and others of a migratory disposition. A little remodeling, at a nominal outlay might place this building in a suitable condition for a country life organization in your community. Trustee Howarth says, that there are two of these abandoned school buildings in Wayne township. One of them is not in a fit condition for use; but the other one, Fairview, No. 2, can be used any time, on condition that it be kept clean. The key can be obtained by calling at the trustee's office. In many of the farm localities today social conditions are as bad, if not worse, than the social conditions of flat life in the large cities. It Is not an uncommon thing in a flat building, where the families number as high as ten and twelve, for none of the occupants to visit each other; and, it is not an uncommon thing in farm neighborhoods to hear someone say, "I have lived here two years (or three years) and in that length of time, only one of the neighbors has been to call on us." This is not the kind of country life that the city man dreams of finding in the rural districts. He has been told of the whole-hearted feelings, of the real and not artificial enjoyments, and of the social affairs that do not make you feel as though you were going to do something all the time that you shouldn't, but, when he comes to the country, he finds conditions altogethWhen you feel vous, tired, worried or despondent it is a sure sign you need MOTTS NERVERINE PILLS.

er different from what they have been described to him that is, in most of

the farming communities. j There are many farm neighborhoods, in which fraternal organizations and other organizations of a permanent na-1 ture were brought into effect while j there was yet at the farmer's disposal i the nearby school building: and, in j these localities when the schools were j consolidated, they either retained the j building for their organization or er- j octed a building of their own known in some places as a country life hall. Some claim that the reason farmers do not get together as rormerly is because of the many attractions in nearby cities. This of course, is true to a certain extent, but investigation proves that the majority just stay at home. Those who do take advantage of the attractions in the nearby cities are no doubt those who took the initiative in local affairs in the past. The city amusements and social functions which are attended by a few of the rural inhabitants are all right in their way, perhaps, bu they do not satisfy that desire which calls for a getting together, or of a meeting rather of those whose interests are in common. That spark of sociability which is innate in men requires only a little arousing to make life more than a mere existence. Farmers know how much good it does them just to get together at threshing time, and they all know how much good it would do them to get together oftener than just at threshing time, but, somehow, they can't get down to the real thing of a social organization. There is no pleasanter pJace to live than on the farm as far as beauty of scenery, fresh air, pure food and nerve soothing conditions are concerned; but, when it comes to the social Bide of country life in most places, it is far from being desirable. Let us repeat: Is there not some one in each farm neighborhood who will assume the leadership in a welfare campaign? Say to your neighbor, "Turn, boys, turn, we are going back to our old time debates, box so cials, necktie parties, spelling bees and other entertainments." All that is necessary to get something under way is for someone to go ahead and make the start. If there are now in existence in Wayne county any farm organizations that meet frequently for social uplift, let them take it upon themselves to aid others in organizing. Ancient Rules Fcr Crv.r..
