Trying to Freeze Out McKinley y-; The ban of the city administration, it is apparent, has fallen upon George McKinley, one of
the most efficient and conscientious public servants this city ever had, a $720 a year man now
.trying, to the best of his ability, to hold down
three positions inspector of weights and meas
ures, marketmaster and pure food inspector for
he city of Richmond. Vv; ,
The work of inspecting food supply establish
ments has just been forced upon him, and the purpose behind this action is glaringly apparent
despite the clumsy effort to shield it from puD lie view. , The city administration, or to be more specif
id the main cogs in the administration, Mayor
Robbing and City Health Officer Smelser, are at
tempting to freeze McKinley out of the public
service. Why? - '
Because they imagine that he was responsible
for the information upon which was based the
recent exposition of the shockingly inefficient
administration of the office of Dairy Inspector, an exposition that infuriated the mayor and the health officer because it revealed to the public that they had tolerated the conditions brought
to light.
" As the Palladium was primarily responsible
for having turned the spotlight upon Dairy In
spector Clem, it feels duty bound to make the declaration that Mr. McKinley was not the source (of the information it published in reference to iDr. Clem. Its informants were dairymen and
glairy products dealers.
But the fact remains' that the mayor and his health officer are bent upon punishing McKinley,
one of the few competent men elevated to public office by Mr. Robbins ; that they are determined to drive him out of the public service by heaping upon his shoulders more duties than any one man could be expected to perform satisfactorily. McKinley has won the esteem of his fellow citizens by his intelligent and indefatigable devotion to the original duties of his office, the supervision of the markets and the inspection of weights and measures. He has been the true friend of the buying public, the enemy of price juggling gardeners and short weight dealers. Such being the case Mayor Robbins and Health Officer Smelser, wise in the lore of politics, realize how undiplomatic it would be for them to demand McKinley's resignation. They prefer to drive him out of office by unfair treatment.
United States. The financial deficit of the ad
ministration promises to attain even greater
proportions, forcing the enactment of legislation to rehabilitate the treasury. The principal meas
ures, proposed, according to press dispatches, axe : 1. Enactment of ' -federal inheritance tax law under which not less than 50,000;000 annually could be raised. : 2. Reduction of the exemption and increase of the income tax - to produce -s an additional 175,000,000. ; ; " 1 3 Issuance of bonds to provide for the increased cost of the army and navy, now estimated at $150,000,000 for the next fiscal year. 4. Re-enactment of the war excise tax law and the addition of other articles, such as checks and possibly war munitions, so aa to produce $50,000,000 from this source. ! 6. Revision of the tariff upward by suspending the free listing of sugar and by imposing a duty on wool, so as to add $100,000,000 to the customs revenue annually. Increased, revenue is the perplexing problem before the Wilson administration. The cessation of commerce with many European , countries on account of the war has been a serious blow to the United States.1 The effects of the struggle have hit Uncle Sam's revenue as hard as they struck business generally throughout the country. Congress will have an important problem to solve when it takes up this question ..
i "Farmers' Row" Has Come Back. Merchants of South Sixth street and on Mam street near this cross street celebrated the permanent improvement of that thoroughfare with a "social" to which the whole city was invited. "Farmers' Row" is again open to traff ice, arid this time with ' a concrete surface that makes the street one of the best in the city. The celebration of the merchants shows a community spirit that deserves commendation. Civic pride asserts itself in a "live" city not only in what the municipality as a whole does, but also in the little booster gatherings that are held. Here the old 'town meeting" spirit is revived. At such meetingsmerchants, city officials, and "boosters" express theif views ; persons residing in widely separated parts of the community rub elbows, forget their own interests, becomes acquainted with their "neighbors" and overlooking their own petty concerns absorb some of the civic consciousness that ought pulsate throughout the whole city. The Sixth street home-coming was a credit to the merchants who promoted it. Rich historical associations cling about that thoroughfare. Once It was the business center of the city; here worked the men that laid the foundation of the present city ; here took place some of the stirring events of the Sixties ; here gathered farmer and merchant for barter, trade and sale. In the march of time , some of the . larger business houses moved eastward, but Sixth street is still "Farmfir's Row," a live corner, a busy center. We wish its merchants increased prosperity, happiness and abundant return for their investment.

Solutions for. Divorce
That the divorce evil is one of the besetting
sins of Wayne county is a fact which has made this community notorious oyer the state. The
number of decrees severing matrimonial ties en
tered on the circuit court records is an alarming
ly large one, and the situation is aggravated by
the steadily increasing number." All sorts of remedies have been ;trfed by the circuit .court judge, but none of them has proved successful. Common Pleas Judge Estep of Cleveland, who has tried more than425 divorce trials since Sept. 1, has offered the following rules to help married people keep away from the courts: 1. Husband, kiss your wife good-by in the morning and say how dq you do at night. 2. Wife, don't interrupt your husband while he is reading the paper or enjoying some hobby. 3. Husband and wife, teach your eyes to see more virtues and fewer faults. 4. Husband, don't tell your wife you are going to lodge when you are going to play poker. 5. Wife, don't nag your husband. 6. Finally, prospective husbands and wives, don't get married until you have known each other a year. Judge Estep has mentioned some of the supplementary causes that make for the divorce
habit, but why not- go deeper and instead of men
tioning the causes of divorce give some positive remedial suggestions. Fundamentally, it strikes us, divorce in nine-tenths of the cases arises from a quick-born dissatisfaction with conditions.
Before persons are married they are said "to
be in love." Taking this as a basis, why should

hkf v HIV VUU71 tlllO lJ V 0.11V4 JLC 111 MJ V C through prosperity and adversity, through bat
tie and victory, through sunshine and storm?
Why should not the discouragements they en
counter be the very means through which the manhood and the womanhood of the couple grows, develops, and matures into the perfection which the estate of marriage presupposes? Let
the married couple battle against the evils of
nagging, criticising, and faultfinding ih them
selves, fight together like brothers in arms, and cultivate an attitude of mind that enables them to overlook the petty and sordid, the present hardship and trials, and see the things that are
noble, generous and kind.
It is worth while m passing to note that
among those denominations in which the sacra
mental nature of marriage is taught, divorces are few and far between. The sanctity and nobility of marriage is impressed upon these persons and they refrain from entering into, the estate with
haste and carelessness. Their ethical conscious
ness is a potent factor m developing a mental attitude after they are married that scorns a trifling excuse for divorce, and at the same time is a prompting element in making them preserve and conserve the love they entertained for each
other before marriage.

:vw -; THANKSGIVING DAY. 'David1' Wallace' was' governor of Indiana from 187 to 1840. He was the first governor of Indiana to issue a proclamation appointing a day : of Thanksgiving. Since that time it has been regularly observed on the last
Thursday of November. ' The churches make it a. season of thankaglvlag and prayer. And families desire to set an .unusually good dinner on that; day when friends are invited to rejoice with them. .- The turkey has always been an emblem of the day. In 1837 wild turkeys were very abundant in Indiana. They were larger than our domestic fowls, frequently weighing thirty pounds. Their golden bronze plumage glistened In the sun as large flocks were driven on foot to the Cincinnati markets. The flesh was dark but very sweet. Pies were indispensable at that time and the pumpkin pie-headed the list, but not to the exclusion of mince pie, apple pie, and custard. A variety of nuts were in demand of which our forest furnished an abundance, black walnuts, butternuts, hickory nuts and pecans. ' For fruits they had apples, wild grapes, papaws and persimmons. Pitchers of cider and milk were placed on the table. I do not recall that coffee was in general use for the 12 o'clock dinner. The meal was not served In courses as we do today, but the entire dinner except the dessert, was placed on the table before the guests were seated. . The host sat at one end of the table and the hostess at the other. ' The
host stood to carve the turkey which was quite an art. A gentleman
prided himself on his ability to die-
member a turkey In a few minutes.
And then he began to fill the pile of
plates at his left hand. As there were no servants, each plate passed from hand to hand until all were served.
Hot wheat rolls and light corn bread or corn dodgers were found on every
table. The table was Ailed1 with dishes
of vegetables, pickles of various kinds both sweet and sour, besides Jellies and' preserved fruits in great abundance. -The meat and vegetables were
eateb from -the same plate -without a bewildering array of little dishes. The entire dinner was of Indiana products except the condiments.-..-.s.v;--; v The delft ware was conspicuous on the white cloth. The knives and forks were of steel with bone handles, the forks had but two tines and played a minor part when aU classes ate with the knife. When the meat and vegetables were removed the dessert was brought on. The nuts and fruit m fowls or baskets. The '-hostess served each guest with two -kinds of pie on a dessert plate. This was eaten with a small steel knife, which usually had an ivory handle. Pumpkin pie and mince pie needed no addition, but the hot apple pie called for cheese and some kind of preserved fruit, preferably peaches. The table linen and napkins, of domestic manufacture were fine and white. , . The dining room walls were festooned with bright leaves preserved for the purpose. At one end was an open fireplace, with a bright wood Are. At the other end was a pyramid of bright yellow pumpkins interspersed with ears of red corn. Hospitality and good wiU crowned the feast. - MRS. S. A. WRIGLET.

A N U R. I C ! ' The Newest Discovery in Chemistry.
TMe. is a recent discovery of Doctor Pierce, who is head of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo, N. Y. Experiments at Dr. Pierce's hospital for several years proved that there is no other eliminator of uric acid that can be compared to it. For those easily recognized symptoms of inflammation as backache, scalding: urine and frequent urination, as well as sediment in - the urine, or ' if uric acid in the blood has caused rheumatism, it is simply wonder ful.liow surely "Anurlc" acts. The best of results ate always obtained, in cases of acute rheumatism in the JointB, , in gravel and gout; and invariably, the. pains and stiffness which so1 frequently 'and persistently accompany the disease' rapidly disappear.;. Go to your nearest drug store and simply. ask for a 50-cent package of
"Anuric" manufactured by Dr. Pierce, or even write Dr. Pierce for a large trial package (10 cents). If you suspect kidney or bladder trouble, send him a sample of your water and describe symptoms. Dr. Pierce's chemist will examine it, then Dr. Pierce will report to you without fee or charge. NOTE "Anuric" is thirty-seven times more active than lithia in eliminating uric acid, and is a harmless but reliable chemical compound that may be safely given to children, but should be used only by grown-ups who actually wish to restore their kidneys to perfect health, by conscientiously using one box or more in extreme cases ar "Anuric" (thanks to Doctor Pierce's achievement) is by far the most perfect kidney and bladder corrector. Dr. Pierce's reputation is back of. this medicine.. Ad y.
