and the vigorous anti-typhoid campaign conduct
ed during the latter part of November, 1914. Logansport merits commendation for its zeal in wiping out a condition that formerly made that city one to be shunned and feared. Health is an asset to the individual and to the city and state. Logan8port's fight was waged in behalf of its citizens. Healthy citizens mean men at work, women enjoying themselves, children well-fed and clothed, money added to savings accounts, prosperity for the merchants, happiness for the city.
Seeing Opportunity.
Much has been written about opportunity knocking at your door. Almost every successful
man has issued a statement telling the world how he attained fame or fortune. Many of us have
read and studied these expressions, and yet the fact remains that most of us persist in the' excuse, "If I only had a chance or an opportunity, I might save something and might make my stake and reputation." Of course, luck and good fortune often are contributory elements to success. This cannot be gainsaid, because the proof is to be found all around us. The fact remains, however, that nine times out of ten, we pass up our chances, either because we are too lazy to prepare ourselves for better positions, or because we do not save bur pennies and watch them grow into the dollars that would permit us to make our first invest
ment when opportunity came along. , If you do not believe that the United States is still a land of opportunity and Richmond a place where you can earn a good competence and save, some money, look at the foreignborn men and women who have come to this country and-city without a cent, ignorant of our language and customs, and yet within a comparatively few years have acquired a r working knowledge of our language, built homes, put money into the savings banks, and financed and developed business enterprises. Begin at Fourth street and walk to Thirteenth street, scrutinize the signs above the doors, and ponder over the men who own the establishments. And then walk through the resident districts, north and south, east and west, and inquire as to the owners of the homes. These men came to a land of opportunity and made good. We sometimes sniff at the immigrants from the South European countries who have settled in Richmond in the last few years. True, their standard of giving is far inferior to that of the average American of today; but compared with the standard of living of our forefathers, two and three generations back, who cut down the forests and cleared the land, is the difference so alarmingly great? Our forefathers endured what we now call hardships to earn a livlihood and get a start. After all, is that not what the foreigner is doing? This phase of the problem opens wide possibilities for thought. ) Again, the standard of living among the foreigners in Richmond improves very rapidly. A survey of some of the homes of our alien fellow
citizens will show that they are fast acquiring many of the things that are often rated as small luxuries. Their children are attending our schools, coming under the influence of patriotic and lofty-souled women who see in the little black-eyed boys and girls infinite opportunity for the highest kind of citizenship. Investigation shows that these foreigners are saving their money. They are depositing it in Richmond banks, and it is staying there and not going back to Italy "as many-of us believe it is. Only a small proportion of it goes back, and then, often for the support of aged parents. Many of these foreigners intend to make America their home. They see an opportunity here. We might tap a big opportunity if we were better acquainted with them.
Continuation Schools. Continuation schools teach working people those thingo which they need to know to make them more efficient and capable. A continuation school is what its name implies a school where a person may continue studies forcibly interrupted when the struggle for existence drove him into the store, shop, or factory ; or a school where he takes up such branches as will increase his vocational fr cultural efficiency. Men and women are afforded opportunity to study branches which they need or which they failed or neglected to take during their school years, in the night school conducted here. The m,3t interesting phase of the night school is tlie course offered to men and women of foreign parentage who are anxious to perfect
their knowledge of the English language. These
pupils of alien, birth are taught not only the ver
nacular of their adopted country, but also how
to become American citizens.
The growing rate of illiteracy in the United States is attributed to the influx of foreigners
from the South European countries. ;The department of immigration and the department of la bor are urging municipalities and school author! ties to combat the growth of illiteracy by open
ing night schools and by instructing the resi
dent foreigners.
An illiterate person in a foreign country is a
useless citizen and a poor patriot, even if he has
taken out naturalization papers. He is an easy
tool -for the politician, the plaything of the ward
healer and the vote buyer. When a foreigner
can read, he is able to peruse a newspaper; and therein is supplied with an agency that exposes
the political crook and enables him to judge for
himself as to how he wants to vote. The effort of the Richmond school author! ties has received the commendation of the fed
eral bureau of naturalization which expresses the
hope that other Indiana cities will follow the ex
ample of Richmond.
It is interesting to note in this connection
that illiteracy among the foreign fcorrfis increas
ing in the Middle West and not in the eastern
states, indicating that the best men of the south European immigrants are retained there, and that the West has to deal with a more ignorant
class. The foreign born residents of this city have taken kindly to the educational opportunities offered them here, which shows that many of these men and women whom we often call "foreigners" in a disparaging sense have a yearning for knowledge and education and are willing to learn our language, customs and traditions. Many of these men would have no chance to learn during the day. The night school affords them the opportunity and they are wide awake to its possibilities. We are proud of their enterprise and genuinely anxious to help them attain an education, and become good citizens..
REMEMBER.
Remember people to always think Ot what you say another may sink. Of what a person may- be struggling
under . That may cause a decided blunder.
Always speak of the best
That In later years you may be west.
So always remember and keep In mind.
That what you see to another is blind.
Many people are thrown to the dust,
For others to gam honor and lust.
So let us do deeds that will answer the
needs. Of our more unfortunate brothers.
Marvin H. Pickett. PINCH HITTING. ' Johnny, the Hagerstown barber, who
is now playing the big time was all dolled up Sunday with a new overcoat
that was a dream and also a new bonnet that was a scream. Topping it all off was a nifty pair of yellow kids that made the outfit shine. And Johnny spent all that money juct to make a hit with the Hagerstown chickens. WE HAVE. Speaking of . chickens we have not heard recently from the lady vfbo objects to the sobriquet. Perhaps 6he has been mistaken for a turkey and is slaughtered by this time. -.. SAY- ABOUT 1322. Anyhow we.havn't got you in a window with people guessing at your weight CAU8E8 FOR THANK8.

MAN GROWLS LIKE DOG.
LAFAYETTE. Ind., Nov. 23. One of the most puzzling cases ever developed in Tippecanoe county confronts Lafayette- physicians. Alfred Noble, 22, was bitten by a dog about two years ago. and his jaws have been locked twice. He is now in jail, in a straight-jacket, after apparently losing all sanity and developing canine instincts. He crawled on his hands and knees and growled, barked and snapped at objects near him.
Permanent! Refllefi IIof Chronic Consfflpattlom
Knowledge and Practice of Correct Daily Habit the Great Essential. Constipation is a condition affecting all classes of all people and can be permanently relieved only by acquiring habits of regularity. The most natural time for the eliminative process Is in the morning when both the muscular and nervous sys
tems are relaxed by sleep and rest.
When relief does not come readUy, It is an excellent plan to take a mild laxative at bedtime. Cathartics and purgatives, that by the violence of their quick action shock and disturb the system, should not be employed. An effective laxative remedy that is very dependable, and which does not gripe or otherwise disturb the organs involved. Is found In a combination of simple laxative herbs known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin that can be bought at the drug store for fifty cents a bottle. Mrs. C C. Allen. 215 Foam St. New Monterey, Calif., wrote to Dr. Caldwell that she "found Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin just what was needed for constipation and distress of the

A Word for Logansport The growth of the health idea in American municipalities has been phenomenal. Cities nowdays are cognizant of the importance of giving citizens health protection as well as police and fire protection. Logansport is a shining example of the new trend of municipal enterprise. In 1914, there were twenty-nine deaths and 182 cases attributed to typhoid fever. In 1915, there were twenty cases and only four deaths. A year ago Logansport stood low in the health statistics of Indiana; today the cityranks among the highest in the state. Whence this change? A Logansport newspaper summarizes the causes thus: "The present excellent condition is due to the activity of the health department, the sanitary survey and analysis of the water from every well of the city by state water chemists, the tagging of wells containing contaminated water supply
Preparing for the Xmas Rush. Christmas will be here in five weeks. At a distance of five weeks, the holiday arouses sentiments of home-cominof and pleasure in the hearts of many, while to others it brings thoughts of drudgery, hard work, grinding toil and a day spoiled because thoughts of drudgery, and a day spoiled because thoughtless people stifled all the joys of the approaching festival by waiting to the last minute to do their shopping and buying of Christmas gifts. Merchants are already displaying their holiday goods. They are ready now to take care of the Christmas trade. Their clerks are acquainted with the goods, eager to show them now, and willing to offer counsel and advice. Merchants are willing to lay aside goods until Christmas. Two days before Christmas, the sales forces of the stores and shops will be jaded and worn out by the rush of late shoppers, their nerves will be on an edge, their patience almost exhausted, and their bodies wearied by the long hours and steady grind. Why not get better service, a better selection, more efficient attention, and more satisfaction by shopping early ? Why not exemplify the Christmas spirit, not only in the messages you send, but also in practice, by making work easier and more pleasant for the clerks?
EARLY CITY HISTORY

PREPARING FOR WAR. When news reached Richmond years ago that Fort Sumter had fallen, the city was astounded. Before the outbreak of hostilities. Governor Morton had made a vteit to Washington when he assured President Lincoln that In
diana could be counted upon for six thousand men. The Indianapolis Sentinel, in sympathy with the secessionists, scoffed at the offer, saying that the people of Indiana would not wage a crusade against the south. Within a week, before the news of Lincoln's call, for volunteers, Morton wired him offering ten thousand men, and within another week twelve thousand men had reported at Camp Morton at Indianapolis. Indiana received the news of the firing on Fort Sumter on Friday,' April 8. "Through the long Saturday that followed, business was at a stand. The streets were black with breathless multitudes. At 10 o'clock a dispatch was announced, 'Sumter has fallen.' Young men and men in middle life
looked at the white faces and wet1
eyes of old and venerated citisens who stood In the streets waiting for tidings, and a great stillness fell upon them. They turned to separate and crept silently to their homes. No one present upon the eventful Sunday which followed will ever forget it." The theme of the crisis permeated all the church services. In Indianapc lis two monster mass meetings were held, which pledged support to the government.
