The Richmond Palladium

AND SUN-TEUCORAM

Published Every Evening Except Sunday, by Palladium Printing Co. Palladium Building, North Ninth and Sailor Sts R. G. Leeds, Editor. E. H. Harris, Mgr. In Richmond, 10 cents a week. By Mail, In Advanceone year, $5.00; six months, $2.60; one month. 46 cents. Rural Routes. In advance one year. $2.00; six month, $1.25; one month 25 cents. Entered at the Post Office at Richmond, Indiana, as Second Class Mail Matter. Death of Babies. If you are making twenty-five dollars a week, qr more, your baby has a pretty good chance to live, one chance in ten, to be exact. If you are making only ten dollars a week, you are going to have a hard chance bringing up the little fellow less than one chance in four. At least that is what a recent government report shows to be the case. So we may look at that report and state that the weekly wage of the father will cause the baby to live or to die, depending upon the size of the wage. It is a cold-blooded thing, that report, and it may strike terror to the hearts of many, but it 5s founded upon actual statistics. It is the offi

cial report of the children's bureau of the United States government. It ought to be carefully studied by everyone who has the interest of the race at heart. According to the report, in the families where the" wages amounted to twenty-five dollars or more, there were eighty-four deaths to each one thousand babies born. In families where the wages fell to ten dollars or lower, two hundred and fifty-six babies died out of every thousand born. There is no way getting around the figures. . -' ' '. ' " " ; The houses in which the people lived is given as the real cause of the infant mortality. The investigation was made in the industrial centers of this country, and the houses in which the ten-dollar-a-week people live were held to be responsible for the great death rate. The twenty-five-dollar-a-week people lived in better houses that was all there was to it. So, it is not the wage, after all, but the house, that causes the trouble. In

a city such as this, there would not be such dif

ference in the death rate among the children of the two closses of people, because there would not be such, difference in their homes. But in the great cities, where the underpaid employe is compelled to live in ill-ventilated and poorly-heated tenement houses, Death sits on the doorstep and beckons to the young. Here the man who receives only a meagre wage can at least have fresh air for his children a thing that is impossible in the greater cities. Dayton News.

LIGHT OF PRESS

(Continued from page 1.) per; cent in fifty years and we now speak kindly of society's unfortunates and derelicts where before they were stoned, hunted like wild beasts or killed like rats. As to-law, a hundred years ago the common laborer had little recognition. If he fell from a ladder and couldn't work and pay his debts he went to jail to live upon what charity might bring him. His family became vagabonds. The state did not even feed him in the debtor's prison. Today every civilized country has laws defining the rights of animals. Today we care more for the poor old brokendown horse in the street than our forefathers did for the herds of poor debtors they left to die in jail or the troops of workless men they hung at Tyburn Tree.

A Message to Thin, . Weak, Scrawny Folks An Easy Way to Gain 10 to 30 Lbs. of Solid, Healthy, Permanent Fleh. Thin, nervous, undeveloped men and women everywhere are heard to say, "I can't understand why I do not get fat. I cat plenty of good, nourishing food" The reason is just this: You cannot get fat, no matter how much ycu eat, unless your digestive organs assimilate the fat-making elements of your food instead of passing them out through the body as waste. What Is needed is a means of gently urging the assimilative functions of the stomach and Intestines to absorb the oils and fats and hand them over to the blood, where they may reach the starved, shrunken, run-down tissues and build them up. The thin person's body is like a dry sponge eager and hungry for the fatty materials of which it is being deprived by tne failure of the alimentary canal to take them from the food. The best way to overcome this sinful waste of flesh building elements and to stop the leakage of fats is to use Sargol, the recently discovered regenerative force that is recommended so highly by physicians here and abroad. Take a little Sargol tablet with every, meal and notice how quickly your cheeks fill out and rolls of firm, healthy flesh are deposited over your body, covering each bony angle and projecting point. Leo H. Fihe, Richmond, Ind., and other good druggists have Sargol, or can et It from their wholesaler, and will iefund your money if you are not satisfied with the gain in weight it produces as stated on the guarantee in ach package. It is inexpensive, easy u. take and highly efficient. Caution: While Sargol has produced remarkable results in overcoming ifrvous dyspepsia and general stom'h troubles, it should not be taken im'pes you are willing to gain ten pounds "r more, for it is a wonderful flesh-builder. Adv.

Eighth over 80.000 unemployed men were hung for vagrancy. Novel No Longer Coarse. Now as to our modern literature, more especially the novel. Dr. Gould and Prof. Isaacs, and a Richmond clergyman, condemn it Is "fallen" and "debasing to woman." The troth is that the novel is no longer coarse like the literature of the eighteenth century. No one today can read with patience. the novels of Fielding, Smollet, Aphra Behn or any of the school of "Miss Bessie Thoughtless." No one with any sense can read "The Fool of Quality" written by a preacher and recommended by John Wesley In the eighteenth century. ...The fact Is that fiction never before in the literary history of the world occupied so high and clean a place as it does today. Our literature has but one blot. There are still a few scholastic writers who talk down to us from a false position which puts them out of touch with the common heart. These men, who have the extreme prejudices of the" old pendant, sneer j at everything that does not wear a diploma. If we have no conception of the living humanity which meets us face to face In the streets, how can we interpret history or historical fiction? All history is a record of what living men and women thought and did in the past, with the same human attributes we have today in thinking and doinglove, hate, hope, sorrow, despair. We must interpret every piece of literature of the past by the light of today. Life is the source of all, book? are only the reflected light. " Readers of the next generation will peruse with delight the novels of today because they are as a rule faithful pictures of our manners and our time. American novels like "The Iron Woman," "Sister Carrie," "the Financier," "What Will People .Say," and "The Custom of the Country," are as real as the moving picture film and a thousand times more wholesome than the books of "the good old times."

Writers and preachers of the school , we are discussing must be pitied, fori the law of metabolism does hot ap-1

ply to them. They neither cast off the old nor take on the new. Get Wrong Conception. There are yet men calling themselves "educated," who think that nothing is literary or classic unless it is bound in tree-calf, three-quarters morocco or crushed" levant. These bibliophiles worship the golden calf and condemn newspapers as coarse and beneath their notice. Even the president of the United States, Mr. Wilson, warned the newspapers that no editor could tell him anything worth knowing. But all the truly great writers in our tongue, as far back as Defoe and Fielding, reached the people first through the public press. Dickens, Thackeray, Mark Twain, down to our late lamented O. Henry, wrote for the newspapers first. How about. Hawthorne's "Twice Told Tales" in an obscure country newspaper, and the "Poet's Corner," that nurtured Poe, Joseph Rodman Drake, Fitz Green Halleck, Riley and Paul

Lawrence Dunbar? Why. the newspaper, the 'tongue of the world," has been the efficient mother of modern literature. Many a now famous poet, essayist or novelist first found his appreciative audience through the columns of the newspaper and it was often " an audience much larger and more affectionate than any book has ever obtained. Pays Milton Respects. Dr. Gould and Prof. Isaacs advise us to cut out newspapers and read only a few classics of the past. Which ones? Oh, says Isaacs, read John Milton. Well, all honor to you, John Milton, for your defense- of the liberty of the press and your praise of books, but we wish to forget your wars in heaven where angels killed each other with chain-shot and fought like Turks and tigers. Our day is different. We' want peace on earth. Keep your wars up in the Puritan heaven forever. Let Lucifer fall and find his level. We are more concerned today over suffering animals than your age was over th poor crazed women you burned as witches. We do not bore men's tongues with redhot irons for swearing. We do not hang debtors. We do not slit the noses or cut off the ears of our humorists. We doTiot publicly whip women who can't keep their feet still when they hear mu6ic. And, John Milton, even it your descendants do spit at us the cheap sneer "commercialism," be believe that the starry flag of commerce, carrying food and raiment to all the world, Is nobler than the banner of the Holy Crusader who spread havoc, misery, immorality and disease like a pestilence over earth's fairest lands. We prefer the Red Cross flag to the standard of the Duke of Alva or the religious fiend Torquemada. The first means to save. The other meant to kill, enslave, torture. Prefers Modern Newspaper. And we prefer the modern newspaper, blazing its searchlight upon every land and into every cave or

cavern, to all the chapbooks, Feuille-

tons, pamphlets and coffee-house libel3 that ever spewed from the old hardpresses of the past.

Sleep on, John Milton. Sleep with Dante. You had your dream of a heaven and a "Paradise Lost." Dante had his delirium of hell and the museums of Inferno. Rest in peace.

You D6th forgot this world. In a

world filled with the horrors of pov

erty and disease you tried to conjure

another one still more frightful. Your dream no longer terrifies the brain of man. The world today is not forgetting this world. We are trying to

still the cry. of human pain, to hush the shriek of human agony, to soften

human hardship, to relieve the burdens of the poor, to heal the broken-hearted, to bring deliverance to the captive, to set at liberty those that are bound. We walk in the light of truth. You groped in the darkness of superstition. Our age is full of tendernesa and pity and human helpfulness. Your age was as cruel as the grave, as pitiless as the heart and brain of Dante.

TROOPS OF RUSSIA WITHDRAW ORDERLY

BY LEASED WIRE. PETROGRAD. Feb: 18. Russian troops have effected orderly withdrawals from all points on their front where their positions were menaced by the terrific offensive of the Germans and their Austrian allies, it was announced here today. The withdrawal from East Prussia and southern Bukowina was caused by the appearance of great opposing armies, and not by any decisive - battles resulting In Russian defeats, the war office claims. Military experts assert that Russian superior resources permit her to adopt a policy of attrition which will result in the ultimate collapse of the Germanic offensive because of the heavy losses that will necessarily fall upon armies continually attacking.

DONT USE SOAP ON YOUR HAIR When you wash your hair, don't use soap. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is just plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats soaps or anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family f or months. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub ,it in, about a teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses irtoughly. and rinses out easily. TLe hair dries quickly and evenly. aais soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out ever particle of dust, dirt and dandruff.
