democratising Music Everything is being organized, systematized, instituted and democratised. The fly is now a national institution and swatting has become a popular pastime. Babies are rising to the dignity of legislative enactments. Even the machinery of government threatens to relapse into the hands of the mere people. And now comes music. Music which has power to soothe the savage breast has very largely been monopolized by the gentle folk who don't need soothing. The toughfibred masses saturated with the clanking hum of boiler factories and the everlasting whirr of the mills of the devil, the poor people, the workers, the great crowds who have to absorb all the shocks of an industrial civilization, have been shut out, in any large way, from participation in the joys of that art which created Wagner, Liszt, Mozart, Beethoven and Hoffman. They have had to stay content with the humble grind organ, the phonograph and the music box. They have feasted their souls on "The Old Apple Tree" and "My Harem." And many of them have nothing to listen to save the music of the spheres. But the day breaks. Bethlehem, Pa., gives popular free concerts that make Bach a living force in every back alley. Lindsborg, Kansas, gives a public recital of Handel's "Messiah" each week. Petersboro, N. H. offers a three day music fest annually. And the crowds join in. And the University of Wisconsin, that crown of all educational institutions, is now organizing a music extension course which will carry the best that has been sung and played in the world to every log cabin, backwoods settlement and farming village in the Badger state. Why can't Richmond join in? The high class concert at low class price which Modest Altschuler is offering here soon is a step in the right direction, but we need many steps. There are a lot of musically inclined folks who can't raise seventy-five cents even to hear a Russian Symphony orchestra. Hasn't some public minded genius a scheme for making available to every family in the city the unusual talent and the inexhaustible resources of music and song which has given Richmond more than a local name? Let's hang out the sign: Wanted, a captain of music to make Richmond a singing, playing city.

Pres. Kelly's Bible Study Plan "For milleniums," says Prof. George Burman Foster, formerly of Chicago University, "The Bible has controlled to a marvelous degree, the thought and emotion and conduct of men." "The Hebrew Bible has had more influence in history than all other literatures combined," says Gerald Stanley Lee. When asked by Horace Traubel, "Do you find the Bible worth while for a steady companion?" Walt Whitman, who can hardly be charged with prejudices in favor of religion, replied, "Yes it lasts comes back to me. I have had this particular book about me now for twenty years always had it by me to read even lately have had constant inclinations towards it." The Bible has been the creator of civilizations and of nations; it has initiated cultures, tamed savage hordes, and turned light in on dark continents. Gladstone was schooled in it, Lincoln used it as a constant companion, Whittier absorbed it, Goethe never tired of it, schools, colleges and whole literatures have been founded upon it. And yet it is not taught in our public schools. Shakespeare is there, and so is Emersan, Edgar Allen Poe and Mark Twain, but Isaiah, David. Hosea, Paul and John are without the gate. And all for the obvious reason that to the great majority the Bible is a text-book of theological theories, each of which is shibboleth for some warring ecclesiastical faction. Each faction opposes its introduction into public schools for fear an opposing faction will find an opportunity thereby to inject some dreaded dogma beneath the skin of the innocents. This attitude is very largely justifiable, but the notion that the Book is a text-book of theological dogmas is not justifiable. The Bible is literature and history. It lends itself with so little grace to the theological process no school of theologians has ever yet been able to state definitely and finally just what theological doctrines the Bible teaches or is supposed to teach. Just how to make available to school youths the almost inexhaustible literary and cultural resources of the Bible has ever been the Gordian knot of public education. Scheme after scheme has been tried only to fail in the end. But now along comes President R. L. Kelly of Earlham with a plan so reasonable and so feasible that educators the state over, with hardly an exception, have heartily endorsed it.

and not only have endorsed it but are actively pushing it towards legislation. Briefly put the plan is this: have the State Board of Education draw up a syllabus of Bible study; make this, first, elective with each local high school, and then, if accepted by a school, make it elective with the individual pupil; give the pupil completing the course and passing the examinations provided for by the State Board credit of, say, a half unit per term; permit the student to do the work privately, or with his parents, or with a private teacher, or in a Sunday School. The theological side of it would be left out completely because all questions in the examinations would pertain strictly to Biblical literature and history. Churches would have no control because a pupil is not dependent upon them. And those with scruples against it may leave it alone since the study is elective. So far as we know this is by far the most sensible and workable plan for getting the public school system behind Bible study that has yet been offered. Where taught in Sunday Schools it will inject some pedagogical principles into the anarchy of methods there obtaining. Where pursued in private it will initiate the pupil into that rich literature which is the world's supreme treasure. And it will cost the tax payer nothing; an item which, we trust, will allay all fears likely to be entertained by those estimable individuals who formally pay the public's bills. This plan has already been endorsed by the City and Town Superintendents' Association, and that means it will almost certainly be instituted as a part of Indiana's school system. Those who have shed blushes over the reactionary legislation of our lately deceased State Assembly may now pick up a little courage to think the Hoosier folks are once more forging to the van with the solution of a public problem that has long vexed state and national legislatures; and Richmond may take pardonable pride that the author of this fine scheme is a resident of the panic proof town.

Carelessness of Hunters Has Caused Heavy Losses to Residents.

The Hen that Lays the Golden Eggs Eggs are aeroplaning. Ordinary stock is bringing fifty-five and sixty cents in Philadelphia and choice, strictly fresh eggs go at seventy-five cents. Storage eggs are higher than ever before in November and the wealthier elasses are being driven to use them in spite of all former prejudices. The situation is still more tense in New York. The best grade there is selling at eighty cents. The city's largest stores are unable to supply their trade and fortunes are being realized over night through unexpected leaps in price. One commission concern cleaned up $1,000 a car on new shipments. An erstwhile candler at $18 per week made $100,000 on one deal. Other firms are making as high as seven cents profit per dozen. No such conditions were ever before known as are now driving the dealers crazy with excitement. Thousands of men have started for the country on egg hunting trips with instructions to get any kind of stock at any price. These dealers blame this condition on the poor old hens, themselves. They claim the fall lot of young pullets have laid down on their jobs or are striking for more feed and shorter hours. There are more hens and fewer eggs than ever before, they aver. What is the matter with that great American institution, the hen?

NEW PARIS, Ohio, Nov. 14. To prevent hunting on the farms near this place the farmers will have them patrolled, taking the law in their own hands. They are determined to prevent a repetition of the accidents and losses which resulted from the carelessness of hunters last year. Several animals were killed by shots which went wild, and one frightened horse became entangled in a barb wire fence, and had to be shot. Has Narrow Escape. Burley McGill, dairyman, narrowly escaped injury recently when the horse which he was driving to his wagon became frightened and ran away. The animal ran from near the Catholic church to the James H.

DROPSY TREATED FREE

By Dr. Mea, the Great SpectaHst, Who Will Send a New $3.75 Treatment Free.

Many Have Been Cured After Doctors Failed.

At first no disease Is apparently more harmless than dropsy; a little swelling of the eyelids, hands, feet, ankles or abdomen. Finally there is great shortness of breath, cough, faint spells, sometimes nausea and vomiting even bursting of the limbs and a lingering and wretched death if tbe dropsy is not removed. Dr. Miles has been known as a leading specialist in these diseases tor 30 years. His liberal offer of a $3.75 Treatment free to aB sufferers, is certainly worthy of serious consideration. You may never have such an opportunity again. The Grand Dropsy Treatment consists of four dropsy remedies in one, also Tonic Tablets and Pura-Laxa for removing the water. This treatment is specially prepared for each patient and is ten times as successful as that of most physicians. It usually relieves the first day, and removes swelling in six days in most cases. Delay is dangerous. Send for Remarkable Cures in Your State. All afflicted readers mar have Book. Examination Chart. Opinion, Advice, and a Two-Pound Treatment free. Write at once.

The Kind You Have Always Bought. THIS is the caution applied to the public announcement of Castoria that has been manufactured under the supervision of Chas. II. Fletcher for over 80 years the genuine Castoria. We respectfully call the attention of fathers and mothers when purchasing Castoria to eee that the wrapper bears his signature in black. When the wrapper ia removed the same signature appears on both sides of he bottle in red. Parents who have used Castoria for their little ones ia the past years need no warning against counterfeits and imitations, but our present duty is to call the attention of the younger genc ation to the great danger of introducing into their families spurious medicines. It is to be regretted that there are people who are now engaged in the nefarious business of putting up and selling all sorts of substitutes, or what should more properly be termed counterfeits, for medicinal preparations not only for adults, but worse yet, for children's medicines. It therefore deyolvea on the mother to scrutinize closely what she gives her child. Adults can do

that for themselves, but the child has to rely on -the mother's watchfulness. fs s jfCAT-2" Genuine Castoria always bears the signature of WxVOf -e&ccA4tC
