PUT CONCERT MONEY IN SPECIAL ACCOUNT A check for $683.16, the net receipts from the charity concert will be turned into a special fund to be known as the concert relief fund tomorrow. The total receipts from the charity concert were $623.15 and the expenses were .only $39.99. Almost every person connected with the affair donated his services. The Coliseum was secured for $20 instead of $5.0 and the tickets were printed free. The Richmond Music Association, John H. Nicholson, treasurer, demanded only that the money be spent for pure relief and not for administration purposes. For that reason, Secretary Melpolder of the charity bureau has created the new checking account Mr. Melpolder said the money will last a little more than a month. Groceries will be the leading purchases made from the fund.
HEALTH OFFICE (Continued from page 1.) four to five million dollars annually, at a cost not to exceed seven percent of the amount saved. "This vast saving will result from sickness prevented and lives saved. The cutting down of sickness and disease will not only prolong hundreds of lives and also promote strength and efficiency, but our happiness will be greatly increased. "About one-half of our taxes ar9 consumed for the support of our dependents and delinquents, and they are largely the products of sickness and disease. Cut down sickness and disease and you will "cut down the number of dependents and delinquents. This bill, if made into law, will, through cutting down sickness and disease, make it possible to cut down taxes. "How can this bill do such a wonderful work? "First, let us see why the old law won't answer. It was passed in 1881, before hygiene and preventive medicine, as we now know them, were existent. It was amended (1 mean wounded) in 1891. It was again amended and made some better in 1903, and 1905, while in 1907 it was again wounded by amendments written by Dr. Bruggeman, a surgeon of Ft. Wayne. And it seems most appropriate, that a surgeon in writing a health law, should make a mess. of it. This much-patched old health law is an old wheezy engine, which can only slowly and at excessive expense haul a small load. The engineers of this antique engine are doctors earning their living by practicing medicine, and giving as much or as little of their time as they please to their public duties, receiving from fity to fifteen hundred dollars annually. With exceptions, they choose to give very little time, but never forget to draw the money the law allows. The health officers and members of health boards in the state are: , Annual Pay. 92 county officers $ 41.250 97 city officers 29,866 291 members of city boards.. 14,450 383 town officers, (average $C7) 25,661 Total C63 officers receiving a a total. of . $111,227 "If is estimated from carefully collected data, that at the most 663 officers, receiving $111,227 annually, give net to exceed one-twelfth of their time, or an average of one month per year to public health work. The average annual salary therefore is $2,016. If ol! the 663 were working full time at tlr-- rate, the annual outlay would be ?1 :S6 60S. This makes plain the awful extravagance of the present system. Under it the state receives a minimum of service for a maximum expense. "The bill provides for one health officer in each county and one in each city having over 20,000 population, 103 in all. These are required to be licensed physicians, who have specially studied hygiene and preventive medicine, and who must give their entire time to protecting the public health, which is far and away the most important business of the state. It is Swish! Corns Gone! We Use "GETS-IT!" 2 Seconds, 2 Drops Corns Vanish! For everybody with corns, there is In every drug store in the land one of the real wonders of the world, and that's "GETS-IT" for corns! It's the 3rst and only corn cure ever known "Somo Foxy Trot. M'fttnseHe. What? Cnr:hat removes any and every corn or sallus without fail, without fussing with thick bandages, toe harness, corn swelling salves, irritating ointments.

provided that these trained men shall keep a dally record 'Of work done and report the same weekly to the state board of health. This will keep them on their Job. Inefficiency. "The present onld-time, much-patch-de health law, has been worked to its utmost by the state board of health, and the board now positively announces no further improvement can be accomplished with it. It "is as an old-fashioned sickle compared to a modern' self-binding reaper. The latter costs more, but its economy is a thousand times greater. It is extreme extravagance to continue the old health law. It positively cira not further lower the sick and death rates, and to neglect or refuse to do this important economic and moral work, is truly evidence of governmental inefficiency. As it is, economy to throw away the sickle costing a dollar, and buy a self-binder costing $200, so it is economy to throw away our old patchel health law costing $111,227 annually, and placing in its stead a new, up-to-date law costing almost twice as much. A Promise. "If senate bill 185 is placed on the statute books the state board of health promises to reduce the present death rate at least two in a thousand within three years, and this means a saving of 5,500 lives annually. It further promises to reduce typhoid fever fifty per cent, diphtheria fifty per cent, scarlet fever, fifty per cent, cholera infantum fifty per cent, and other transmlssable diseases accordingly. Typhoid fever costs the people of Indiana at least $2,000,000 annually. One-half of this will be saved in the time named. Diphtheria, scarlet fever and the other infectious diseases cost the people of Indiana another $2,000,000 annually. One half of this will be saved. The 5,500 lives now lost, which the new machine will save, have a court value of $9,350,000. We have here a saving
of $11,350,000 annually. This is not a dream. It is not a chimerical idea, RESINOL HEADS RAW, ITCHING SCALY SKINS No matter how long you have been tortured and disfigured by itching, burning, raw or scaly skin humors, just put a little of that soothing, antiseptic Resinol Ointment on the sores. The suffering usually stops right there! Healing begins that very minute, and in almost every case your skin gets well so quickly you feel ashamed of the money you threw away on tedious, useless treatments. Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap clear away pimples, blackheads and dandruff. Prescribed by doctors for 20 years and sold by all druggists. Contains absolutely nothing that could harm the tenderest skin. Adv. TKe brands that are

but is a well-based, logical estimate, which has been approved by two practical business men, both of whom are millionaires and who know how to figure estimates. "Against this great saving the cost appears very insignificant. The very greatest economy In all the world is the prevention of disease and the saving of life." , , . , :
