Indiana, as Second Class Mall Matter. Help for the Unemployed. Mid-winter is no time to sum up complacently what has been done or even what is being done to relieve unemployment. Three hard months are ahead. But to point out things already done by business, by government, or by civic bodies may very possibly suggest the best ways of going ahead with immediate and practical relief work throughout the country. Business, as represented by individual industries, has done little. As represented by associations of employers and chambers of commerce, it has done much to urge separate industries to keep up their forces so far as they possibly can, and to prevail upon the city authorities to hasten public works. A committee of the Boston Chamber of Commerce has issued to employers definite suggestions as to how they may regularize their work. And this plan has been followed elsewhere. The Board of Commerce in Detroit, having got jobs in the ice camps for some of the thousands of applicants at their free employment bureau, has undertaken to look out for nearly 400 families while the men are away and until they can earn something. A few industries have established loan funds to tide over the men they have had to lay off. One telephone company is furnishing wood for a woodyard for the unemployed by contributing its discarded poles. In Oregon a hardware and steel company has donated the tools needed for a land clearing project

carried on by private contract through a citizens' unemployment committee. , Civic organizations and private individuals have as yet done most in the present crisis. They have operated sewing rooms as emergency measures for unemployed women, notably in New York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Buffalo. They have begun wood piles for men and have established work rooms where Red Cross bandages and supplies are prepared. They have supplied shelter by getting the use of vacant buildings, old laundries, auditoriums, etc., and securing their equipment by private donations. In one place the temporary use of vacant houses has been secured for unemployed girls. In several places "bundle days" have been advertised; old clothes are collected in large quantities ; a considerable number of women are given work in repairing them, after which they are given to the most destitute of the neighborhood or the city. Men or organizations with money to invest have lent it to the city when the city's funds would not permit public works. In Davenport, la., private employers formed an "Employment Association" and had some grading work done, the workers being chosen through the city employment bureau. Loan funds have been proposed by local organizations or citizens, the funds to be open, after investigation, to the skilled unemployed workmen of the neighborhood. "Nickel funds," to which every citizen is urged to contribute a nickel for immediate relief, have been begun ; soup houses, coffee stands and bread lines, have of course been begun in many places. And they are needed. One of the most notable services rendered this winter by private organizations, committees or individuals has been in correlating the work of all the official bodies and relief agencies in their community., Churches are btisy. The New York Federation of Churches has issued definite suggestions as to how individual churches may find odd jobs for the unemployed in their neighborhood, may reach the unemployed through their children in the public schools, and may in other ways take some definite action at once. In Memphis, Dallas, Boston and Lynn the churches are also acting in a body. In Memphis, all churches are used as registries, and the church basement is made a reading room for the unemployed.

Glee Glub to Appear COLLEGE MUSICIANS PREPARE POPULAR SONGS FOR COMING CHARITY CONCERT.

Although one of the youngest college glee clubs in the state, the Earlham College Glee club, which will take part In the charity concert Wednesday evening, has enjoyed, perhaps, the most successful career of any of, the other organizations in the state. The Earlham club is now in its fourth season and those who have beard the club at its rehearsals pronounce that the work being done this year is equal If not better than that of any previous year. The club was organized in 1911 by Prof. J. Hershel Coffin, member of the college faculty, who was director for the first two years. For the past two seasons, the club has been under the direction of Roland Nusbaum of Richmond. Every spring the club makes a tour through the state and practically every concert given by the club has been attended by large audiences. Last year the club appeared before all the teachers of Indianapolis In a Saturday afternoon concert at Caleb Mills hall. A concert was also given in that city that evening. This year the club will start out the first part of April and will make a week's tour of the state. Men Sing Together. As a result of the weekly rehearsals throughout the term, they have learned to sing together and, using musician's slag, to "feel each other," which

is absolutely necessary for a successful men's chorus. Distinguished from the general type of glee club work, the Earlham club has attempted to become acquainted with a higher class of songs than Is usually found on glee club, programs. This feature of the work of the Earlham club has found favor with the audiences wherever it has sung and a continuation of this policy was the result this season. The club in the program Wednesday will sing an (a) and (b) number. The first will be the ever popular

"Winter Song" by Bullard, which Is written especially for college glee club voices. The second will . be Hugo Bruhn's "Invlctus," which Is powerful in its dramatic climaxes. The following are the members of the club this season: First Tenors Howard Kinnaman, Garfield Cox, Wessey Paine and Fay Win slow. Second Tenors Everett Davis, Russell Winslow, Claude Adams and Rudolph Price. First Basses Harold Taggart, Lawrence Hadley, Lester Taggart, Leland Hadley. Second Basses Lawrence Llndley, Howard Carey, Lester Wood and Kenneth Nelson. , Director Roland Nusbaum.

DID CHILD WAKE UP CROSS OR FEVERISH?

Look, Motherl If tongue coated give "California Syrup of Figs."

Is

Mother! Your child isn't naturally cross and peevish. See it tongue is coated; this is a sure sign its little stomach, liver and bowels need - a cleansing at once. When listless, pale, feverish, full of cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn't eat. sleep or act naturally, has stomach-ache, diarrhoea, remember, a gentle liver and bowel cleansing should always be the first treatment given. Nothing equals "California Syrup of Figs" for children's ills; give a teaspoonful, and in a few hours all the foul waste, sour bile and fermenting food which is clogged in the bowels passes out of the system, and you have a well and playful child again. All children love this harmless, delicious "fruit laxative," and it never fails to effect a good "inside" cleansing. Directions for babies, children of all ages and grown-ups are plainly on the bottle. Keep it handy in your heme. A little given today saves a sick child tomorrow, but get the genuine. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," then look and see that it is made by the "California Fig Syrup company." adv.

PREBLE COUNTY CLAIMS RECORD FOR 10NG LIFE Residents Reach Age of 98 Average for County Seat Climbs to 67 Years. EATON, O., Feb. 1. Records for both health and wealth are claimed

by Preble county, and It is probable that neither is equaled by any of Ohio's other eighty-seven counties. Statistics for the year 1914 show the average life to have been 6 years In thetwelve townships of the county.

But in Eaton, the county seat, the average reached 67 years.

In the village of Eldorado, ten miles

north of Eaton, records show that it has been more than a year since a

death occurred, and longer than six months since one has been reported in

the territory immediately surrounding the place. The town has a pop'uplation of 350. In addition to longevity the county Is immensely wealthy, : and if all the money within her boundaries were divided equally among her. 23,834 residents, each would have $1,735.11. . That the farmers are unaffected by business depression and stringent money matters is attributed by the fact that in five of the county's twelve

townships not an acre has been placed on the delinquent tax list.

One of the most remarkable women in the county is Mrs. Christina Wesco

of Eaton, who bears the distinction of being the oldest While she never

has been of robust health, she cele

brated her ninety-third birthday anniversary during last December, and bids fair to round out a full century.

To her . longevity she attributes her strict compliance to all laws. laid down for physical conservation. Mrs. Wesco bears another distinction in the

fact that she is the only woman In the county who is the representative of a family of five generations.

John Mattix, 97, attributes his long life to hard work, use of both smok

ing and chewing tobacco, and eating

plenty of onions. Mr. Mattix was born and reared on a farm. He knows what it is too work hard, and is strong in his declaration that it never killed anybody. He will reach his ninetyeighth birthday anniversary June 15 of this year, and on that day expects

to perform manual labor. CARD OF THANKS,

We wish to express our slncese

thanks to our many neighbors, relatives and friends, also Dr. Fouts, for their kindness and sympathy shown us during the illness and sad death of our little darling, Harold; Rev. Propst and Rev. Mitchell for their

consoling words; also the singers, Mr. Welfer, and the many beautiful floral

offerings. Mr. and Mrs. John Medearis.

Editor Palladium:

In response to Mr. W. O. Jones,

county highway superintendent's as

sertion made in the Palladium Thursday evening. Jan. 21. He, JoneB, denounced the township road supervisory and work tax system as a graft and brands the farmers as a set of thieves and the supervisor as being incompent In Harrison township there is about ten miles of county road this past year. There was not over one mile of road graveled and one-half a load at a place, the farthest load was hauled about one and

three-quarter miles from the pit. Now

this should be a very good mile of

road. According to Mr. W. O. Jones'

report there was $117 for each mile of

county road in the county. When we

farmers were hauling gravel for Mr.

Jones we worked ten hours for $3.50, his assistants' teams drew $4.00 per day and were o ntheir way home long before we quit of an evening. I would like to ask Mr. Jones how he can pay some men $2.50 per day and they were equivalent to about six or seven hours. One of those men told me he drew $2.50 and he never turned a hand until 12 o'clock. I think the law allows $2.00 per day for a man single handed. Ib it any wonder that ninety-five per cent of the farmers will not let go of the old system? All that is the. matter with Mr. Jones is that he is sore because he could not get enough roads on the county so he could get his salary raised from $4.00 to $5.00 per day. I beg to differ with Mr. Jones as to the supervisors. I think we have some that are just as competent as Mr. Jones or any of his assistants. Mr. W. O. Jones said not a township road was graded. There were township roads graded in Harrison township and a few loads of gravel scattered around and I expect the same in other townships. PARK AMMERMAN.

"TIZ" FOR SORE TIRED FEET AH!

That a progressive forward-looking career marked by full loyalty to God win contain all of the good of the old life and many additional blessings was the lesson drawn from the Rev. E. G. Howard's sermon on "The Loyalty of a Woman" at the First English Lutheran church Sunday morning. The Rev. Mr. Howard illustrated his appeal for greater loyalty by telling the story of Ruth. He showed how prospects of marriage, a home, family ties an4 a happy life called her back to her home. But she continued loyal after leaving home and later had all these blessings and many more added unto her lot.

QUESTION CLEARED UP Richmond Readers Can No Longer Doubt the Evidence. Aga'n and again we have read of strangers in distant towns who have been cured by this or that medicine. But Richmond's pertinent question has always, been "Has anyone here in Richmond been cured?" The word of a strangex living a hundred miles away may be true, but it cannot have the

same weight with us as the word of

our owji citizens, whom we know and respect, and whose evidence we can so easily prove. Mrs. George Killen, 502 N. Seventeenth St., Richmond, says: "We used Doan's Kidney Pills and they have proven beneficial. They were taken for backache and irregular action of the kidneys and relief was had. I have ak;o used this remedy with good results."

Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's . Kidney PillB the same that

Mrs. Killen had. Foster-Milburn Co Props, Buffalo. N. Y. Adv.

"TIZ" Is grand for aching, swollen, sweaty, calloused feet or corns.

"PulL Johnny, PuIH"

Editor Palladium: It has been for many years an unbroken rule in the township road building profession, for its members to refrain from endorsing or lauding any new method of road construction that is written in any of the many publications in this or any other country, except in very rare instances where general undisputed proof has been forthcoming from sufficient different sources to warrant a deviation from this code of ethics. Therefore, Highway Superintendent Jones of our county road system, one of the foremost men in his profession, has taken upon himself to inform the rural public that at last there is a more modern method which has really proven by results to be much cheaper and practical than is now in use at present upon our township roads. Taking into consideration the vast number of township roads that are in such poor condition throughout this country and the untold inconvenience resulting directly and indirectly from poor road beds it seems strange that progress for its permanent relief has not kept pace with other less import

ant movements In "agriculture and

science. It is a deplorable tact, but nevertheless true, that the farmer who depends upon the ordinary methods to have his road Improved la no better off today than were his forefathers a hundred years ago. . - The election of road supervisors by the people has induced many Incompetent persons who have absolutely no knowledge of road conditions or scientific training in that line to enter the field, of road building. Their sole aim it seems, is to put in their time, and to palm off their worthless gravel on the unsuspecting public and set his money from the township, giving nothing in return but a make-shift, ill-constructed road, that often does the public more harm than good. The time is fast approaching, in fact, is here when the people no longer will be satisfied with the methods now in use. Their intelligence will direct them to look forward to modern scientific construction. JAMES DILLON. Boston, Ind. COMPLETE BUSINESS
