Entered at the Post Office at Richmond. Indiana, as Second Class Mail Matter.

Addresses will be changed as frequently as may be required without extra charge. Orders may be given to any carrier of the Palladium or sent to The Palladium circulation department.

The Palladium can not be responsible for errors made if instructions are given over the telephone.

The Bridge Question That two members of the county council, Messrs. Bockhoff and Druley, should thwart the desire of the whole community that the bridge controversy be settled at once, merely illustrates the futility of expecting business-like results from our present form of city and county government. If the county's affairs were in the hands of business managers, the appropriations would have been voted. For many months the Main Street bridge has beeri an eyesore to the city and an object of reproach to the whole community. Every citizen is anxious to have the problem solved at once. There was every indication that the county council would vote an appropriation for a bridge, built on the present level. Taxpayers had indicated plainly that they would not tolerate the expense of constructing a level bridge. The two men who blocked the appropriation for a bridge on the present level know this. The eleventh hour effort of Mr. Bockhoff to try to see if the old span could be repaired does not make a strong appeal to th community. Competent engineers had informed the county commissioners that repairs could not be made. The board of works had indicated that it does not

favor rebuilding the old structure. In the light of these facts, the action of Mr. Bockhoff in working against the south side bridge and the Main street span cannot be understood by the community. The censure for the defeat of the bridge appropriation must be laid at his door. The delay in the construction of the bridge, a matter of put"'" necessity, demanded by the whole commuii.cy, now rests with Mr. Bockhoff.

Medical Supervision Necessary The State Board of Health has requested publication of the following: In answer to these inquiries the State Board of Health says that there is not likely to be an outbreak of this disease at the opening of schools in Indiana and certainly not' if the schools are opened under medical supervision. The State Board of Health wishes to emphasize the importanceof medical supervision in the schools, not only as a means of safety and prevention against infantile paralysis, but against all communicable diseases especially measles, whooping cough, scarlet, fever or diphtheria. There is greater

danger of r an outbreak, of measles, scarlet fever or diphtheria in connection with the opening of schools than there is of infantile paralysis and the fatality as well as the serious after effects of these diseases are nearly as great as result from infantile paralysis. Not only is medical supervision of school children of great importance in connection with the prevention of these diseases, but it is the best means of controlling, communicable disease whenever an outbreak occurs in any community. It is always far better and safer to" have the children of a community in school under competent medical supervision daily than to permit children to run at large and mingle together upon the streets without supervision of any kind. The school under medical supervision becomes a clearing house wherein cases of communicable disease are detected promptly and prompt and effective steps can be taken to prevent the spread of such disease to others. There is nothing in the infantile paralysis situation in Indiana at this time to interfere with the opening of Indiana schools at the regular time. In every community where there have been one or more cases of the disease this summer, medical supervision should be established in connection with the schools and in fact for the reasons stated above there should be medical supervision in every school of the state. Food Speculators Hit When the threatened railroad strike was imminent, dealers in produce and foodstuffs in Chicago and New York bought up large supplies with the evident purpose of making the public pay a fancy price for the food. The calling off of the strike left these men with a large supply on hands, for which they had paid more than the current price. They were hit hard and today find themselves losers by thousands of dollars. In New York, steps are on way to prosecute the men who tried to make money on the misfortune of the people. No law can be drastic enough to

deal with men who try to make money on food supplies in a crisis. The poor people are the ones who suffer most when prices are advanced far beyond reason and justice. Commercial pirates of this kind ought be made walk the plank.

Brotherhood for the Aged Mrs. C. A. Rugg of New York is advocating the organization of a silverhaired sisterhood" and a "silverhaired brotherhood," the purpose being to perpetuate sunshine and happiness in the hearts of the old men and women of the country. Besides furnishing homes for the aged, the organization would try to find work for those old people who still feel that they want to do something. The organization without doubt would do much good. We know scores of old men and women, however, who need not belong to an organization to make them happy and contented. In their hearts is found more happiness and optimism than many a young man or woman, in the prime of life, can boast of. Old people do not live in the past. Many of them are abreast of the times and show a grasp of present day affairs that is as refreshing as it is surprising. Old age that brings with it contentment and peace is something all of us can look forward to with a good deal of enjoyment.

THE BLACK PUDDING The beautiful Japanese vase was broken. There on the hall rug It lay shattered to bits. of. green glass that shivered and winked in the warm spring light. But not a soul knew who had been

the cause of the disacter. Beverly had not been in the house, so be could

not have done it, and the only two likely to have committed the deed were. Ada or Ponto. Of course, Ponto could not say a word, for no one under

stood his bark. But Ada, who was just eight, insisted that she; had not been near when the accident took

place. Now, Ada's mother was very wise

She knew that sometimes little girls are tempted to deny a misfortune be

cause they are afraid of being scolded

So she called Ada and told her to tell

the truth about the vase to own up

if she had broken it and that would

end the matter, but the child continued to protest her innocence. Then a

wise thought came to the mother. She

would teach the little girl that to tell

an untruth brings a sad conscience.

Yet how was it to be done?

As the mother sat thinking Ada ran into the kitchen, where Martha- was

busy geting dinner. She had heard the talk between the child and the

mother and decided to play a trick on

Ada that would be a lesson, though

she did not then know that was just

what the mother wished done.

Ada sat perched on a box watching Martha pour out molassea and beat up eggs, then stir it all up with, spice

and sugar in a big brown dowl

"This is a funny pudding what I

am making," remarked Martha, glancing at Ada sideways. "It is

called a magic pudding."

"What, a really truly, magic pudding?" exclaimed Ada, her eyes wide

with excitement. "Why, how did you

get any magic things to use?'

"Well," continued Martha as she stirred and beat the dark, sweet mess

in the bowl, "them spices come from

Araby, and they is what makes it

magic. What is curious about it is that after it is baked, if it is eaten by anyone who has told a fib, that person will turn black, just like this is now." Ada moved uneasily in the chair. "Is it for our dinner?" asked the child. "Of course it is," returned Martha with a smile around her mouth. "I am making it now for dessert today." "And any one who has told a fib will turn black if they eat that pudding?" asked Ada with a tremble in her voice. "Sure," replied Martha, "That's just why it is called the magic black pudding, because it shows up folks what don't tell "the truth they turns black and stays so for a year." Ada climbed down from the chair and went out into the yard. Her

Newspaper Syndicate, New York. thoughts were in a tumult. She loved pudding and her mother knew she did; yet, what if she ate it and turned black, mother would know "she had not told the truth at first. She wandered around feeling very sad, then it occurred to her that if she refused to eat the pudding her mother would at once guess the reason. It grew late. But Ada only wan

dered miserably about the house . Her face grew white and drawn and a

frightened look came Into her eyes

The sun set, the gas was lighted and downstairs she could hear Martha setting the table for dinner. The dinner

bell rang.

Trembling with fear and worry, the

child threw herself sobbing on her

bed. Then she heard a light step on

the stairs and her mother's arms

were around her. "I'm sick; I don't want any dinner," sobbed Ada. Besides, mother, I told

you a fib about that vase I did break

it when I was chasing Ponto through

the hall, and I have been so miserable ever since. And I am not afraid of the

black pudding any more now."

"Afraid of the pudding! What do you mean, darling?" asked the mother as she soothed the excited girl. "Why should you.be afraid of the pudding?"

"I tells you what it is: I done played a trick on Ada," laughed Martha from the doorway in which she stood.

"Come on down and git your dinner,

now, Ada," continued Martha, gathering, the girl up into her big arms, Sa down Ada went o eat a big dinner and a mighty big helping of the black pudding. But it was a lesson she never forgot.

AN EASY WAY TO GET FAT AND BE STRONG

The trouble with most thin folks who wish to gain weight is that they insist on drugging their stomach or stuffing it with greasy foods; rubbing on useless "flesh creams," or following some foolish physical culture stunt, while the real cause of thinness goes untouched. You cannot get fat until your digestive tract assimilates the food you eat. There is a preparation known to reliable druggists almost everywhere which seemingly embodies th missing elements needed by the dig-stive organs to help them convert food into rich, fat-laden blood. This modern treatment is called Sargol and has been termed the greatest of fleshbuilders. Sargol aims through regenerative, re-constructive powers to coax the stomach and intestines to literally soak up the fattening elements of your food and pass them into the blood, where ey are carried to the starved, broken-down cells and tissues of your body. You can readily picture what result this amazing transformation should produce as with increased weight the cheeks fill out, hollows about neck, shoulders and bust disappear and from 10 to 20 pounds of solid, healthy flesh is added to the body. Sar

gol is absolutely harmless, inexpensive, efficient. Clem Thistlethwaite's five

stores and other leading druggists of this vicinity have it and will refund your money if you are not satisfied, as per the guarantee found i every pack

age.

NOTE Sargol is recommended only

as a flesh builder and while excellent results in cases of nervous indigestion, etc., have been reported care should

be taken about using it unless a gain

of weight is desired. Adv.

Emil Bennert of Lawrence, Mass., claims the local record for growing lettuce with a head that measures 22 inches across and 14 inches high.
