Types in the Crowd. GOOD FELLOWS A type to conjure by !

Men who do the kind deed and don't want the whole world to join the hallelujah chorus of praise; fellows that dry the tears of a widow's grief and make her confess with joy in her heart, "All's right with the world"; chaps that slap the "down and outer" on the back and make him feel

that he's a man "for a' that"; big overgrown boys whose hearts' go out in loving kindness to the little boys and girls, with pinched cheeks and

woe-begone expressions.

Good Fellows are not roisterers, young blades or gray-haired codgers bent only on having a good time themselves and utterly oblivious to the suffering of the poor fellows about them. Your "Good Fellow" acts with providential alacrity

when he sees misery and woe.

: On Christmas day the Good Fellows work overtime. They pay little attention to those sections of the city where houses are brilliantly lighted, where Christmas carols bespeak the joy of life, where children shout in happy glee. The

Good Fellows go to the dark parts of the city, where there are narrow streets, dark alleys, where few lights are burning, where children

with reproachful eyes are wondering whether

Santa Claus will come, where mothers are chok

ing down tears, and fathers are beginning to lose

interest in life. ' Here's where the Good Fellow is at home,

Here's where he dispenses joy and happiness, and

here's where he gets his reward. The sight of a

little girl coddling a doll and of a boy beating a

drum fills his whole heart with joy. He doesn't care whether the world knows what he is doing, for the happiness of the kiddies is greater reward than the blatant praise of the press or pulpit. No finer benediction ever was spoken over a deed

well done than the .. stammering thanks pronounced by an unfortunate father or mother over a Christmas basket left by a- generous hearted Good Fellow. For the Good Fellow we cherish the warmest regard, be he pastor or Elk. The type is increasing. The crowd is richer for their presence.

Reckless Driving. Collisions between rapidly driven taxicabs and automobiles on street corners have been narrowly avoided in the last weeks. Speed mania has obsessed many driver, and especially does this hold true of taxi cab drivers. North A street has become the favorite speeding thoroughfare for reckless pilots. It has become dangerous for an automobile driver to approach North A on any of the cross streets, for he has the haunting fear that some crazy speed maniac will be driving down that thoroughfare at such a rapid rate that a collision cannot be avoided.

Recently a number of collisions that would

have meant injury and perhaps death to occu

pants of cars were narrowly averted on North A street. Taxicab drivers ruthlessly have been vio

lating the speed ordinances of the city. A number

of hairbrained owners of cars, with little concern for the injury they might inflict on pedestrians and occupants of cars have made not only North

A,, but almost every street of Richmond a con

stant source of danger

Rigid police, enforcement of the city ordi

nance regulating the speed of automobiles ought

to be enforced. Prosecutions of the speed ordi

nance have been exceedingly slack in the last few

months, and drivers, taking advantage of the

condition have with impunity and reckless disre

gard of public safety made street crossings source of peril.

Taxicab drivers and reckless drivers ought to be forced to slow down speed when approaching

crossings, especially on streets that are crowded with pedestrians and other vehicles. The city has passed ordinances governing this nuisance and

the authorities ought prosecute flagrant violat

ors. After some serious smash-up in which a number of people are injured or perhaps killed, public attention will turn to the subject and deplore the conditions that permitted the accident. Why not stop the nuisance before some one is injured or killed?

Articles contributed for this column must not t in excess of four hundred woi'ds. The identity of all contr" rs must be known to the editor. Articles will be printed In the order received.

To the Hon. Commissioners, Tax Payers and Laboring People of Wayne County: I ask you a question as to the destruction of our Ma'n street bridge and building in its place another structure that will probably cost us $400,000. At Ihe same time it will bond ycur county for 20 to 40 years with untaxable bonds and put the burd?n on the children and unborn children of cur county which was preached last fall by Impractical and inexperienced man and turn a bridge into junk that with three or four pillars built under it with large steel rails placed on the pillars we surely would have a bridge that would last us at least 100 to 150 years at a cost to not exceed $30,000. You see the balance of the money would build homes for thousands of people this being one of the greatest counties in the state. Isn't it necessary for us to put a stop to unnecessary taxation. Yours very respectfully, A. M. Roberts, Richmond. Editor Palladium: In your Issue of Dec. 14 I read with surprise many statement written by W. H. Walker. Mr. Walker claims he has traveled a great deal in the east fifteen years. Not being a farmer like Mr. Walker, an ordinary laboring man and mechanic, could not afford to travel but has to stay at home and work real hard to get money to pay for house rent and coal, which has increased about fifty per cent in price in the last fifteen years. The city man, when he wants a pound of coffee, he pays 30 to 35 cents a pound: in former years he paid 12 to 15 cents for the same grade of coffee. If he wants a 24-pound sack of flour he pays S5 cents, former 15-year ago price, was 40 cents. When the city man wants a suit of clothes, 19ov pri e was $10; 1915 price $15. He may want a fairly good pair of shoes, old price $3, new price He may want a little bacon, old price 10 cents, now price 25 cents. He may want some spare ribs, old price 3 cents a pound, 'hew price 8 cents a pound. He may need a bushel of potatoes, old price 50 cents a bushel, now price 85 cen.s. I coyld mention dozens of other articles that have advanced from 50 to 100 per cent, but It would take too much space. Mr. Walker states that the city man's wages have increased 100 per cent. I wish he would tell what class of workingmen get the 100 per cent

increase In the last 15 years. It surely isn't the mechanic, the moulder, the painter that got the increase. Their wages are the same today as they were 15 years ago. Mr. Walker takes exception to the workingman's wife or daughter wearing good clothes. You cannot blame them for wanting to dress well. They cannot afford to buy automobiles like the farmer. Mr. Walker claims that the farmer's wife gets

up at break of day and works till late at night. I know of women in town

much more efficient system than the old resulted. "There may be days this winter when all the routes can not be covered," said Mr. Beck, "but a mail man ought not to be expected to go over roads no one else has traveled." .Petition has been sent to the officials at Washington asking for a postponement of weighing parcels until

mail men get used to their routes.

Farmer Plans Far Ahead for

His Xmas Feast

Resolves Not to Repeat Dis tressing Thanksgiving Experience.

William Ravmer. farmer of Rural

Route 13,. near Dayton, is not going to make the same sacrifice on Chrits-

mas that he did on Thanksgiving day

When he was forced to turn away from the Thanksgiving day feast he resolved that life was hardly worth the living, if after the strain of summer tasks, be was to be a stranger at the winter feasts. A good meal may not be poetic, but it's more satisfying to the aver

age worker than the poet s most inspiring verse. Mr. Raymer paid the penalty of a severe summer's toil. He became afflicted with a serious case of stomach trouble. "I suffered great distress after eating," explained Mr. Raymen. "There were sharp pains and nausea. I had to guard against many food of which I am very fond. My condition kept growing worse and I was loosing strength despite the treatment I was taking. "When Thanksgiving came and I had to forego the' turkey and cranberry sauce, the pie and nearly all the good things of the holiday dinner, I deedcid I would gain relief and gain it

quick. "I selected Tanlac because of the reputation it has won. Tanlac gave

me relief from the very Btart. Though I have used it only a short time it has made a great improvement in my case.

It is the only medicine that has relieved men, and I am glad to recommend it, just as my neighbors are doing. . "When the Christmas dinner is ready I expect to enjoy it with the rest. Tanlac is going to make a Merry Christmas for me." Tanlac, that holds out the hope of a merry Christmas to thousands of sufferers from stomach, liver and kidney ailments and catarrhal affections, is being introduced in Richmond at the four Thiistlethwaite drug stores.

FOR MOTOR ROUTES ! FOR BRONCHITIS SEVERE COUGHS

COLDS AND WHOOPING COUGHS

Postmaster Beck said today that he believes the motorized rural routes will prove a great success in this county as soon as they are under way, and he predicts that within a short time all routes in the 6tate, which can in any way be adapted to automobile delivery, will be motorized. Mr. Beck is in receipt of a letter from the Postmaster at Lafayette, stating that since the system has been installed there it has proved a marked success and is being praised on all sides. He said, however, that friction in getting the system started was experienced in that county as well as in Wayne county, but as soon as the trouble got squared away, he said, a

When You Think of Christmas Think of Jenkins

Open Every Night" Until Christmas

Jenkins & Co. 726 MAIN STREET,

Money spent for the old style, ready made medicine usually sold in bottles holding only 2 to 2 ounces (16 to 20 teaspoonfuls) is largely wasted, because most of them are composed principally of sugar and water. Yet you have to pay the sam'e price as if it were all medicine. Stop wasting this money. You can make a better remedy for bronchial affections, at home at one-fifth the cost. Merely go to Thistlethwaite's drug stores and ask ofr two ounces (50c worth) of Schiffmann's New Concentrated Expectorant, which they guarantee will ive perfect satisfaction or money refunded. Mix this with one pint of vranulated sugar and one-half pint of boiling water, which makes a full pint (128 teaspoonfuls). This new, simple, pleasant remedy is guaranteed to re

lieve the worst cough or cold, bronchial asthma, bronchitis, croup, horseness and whooping cough. One bottle will make enough home-made medicine to probably last the whole winter. Children like : it, it is so pleasant to take. It is unlike any other medicine, and pesitively contains no chloroform, opium, morphine or other narcotics, as do most cough mixtures. Keep it on hand in case of emergency and stop each cough before It gets a firm hold. The above druggists, in fact any druggist in this city, will return the money (Just the same as is done with Schiffmann's famous Asthmador) in every single case where it does not give perfect satisfaction or is not found the best remedy ever used. Absolutely no risk is run in buying this remedy under this positive guarantee. Adv.
