In other cities where school lunches are provided the menus consist of soups and milk and sandwiches and , other nutritious homely victuals. The theory upon which school lunches are based is that children whose parents are unable to provide them with proper and sufficient food to build their bodies and their brains may Ret it at school at slight cost. This is the theory upon which the tirmestic Science club women based iheir offer to provide money for a penny lunch at Whitewater school. Their offer was refused pointblank by he school board at the instance of Superintendent Giles. Contrast in Two Opinions. Superintendent Giles says the penny

lunch plan is "reported to be working satisfactorily" in Whitewater school. Principal Ramsey of the school fays the addition of bakery sweets, to the menu is a poor substitute, for a real penny lunch. "At best these are delicacies, al1 hough they possess some nutritive va'ue," he said. "But they are a far cry from the hot soup3 and milk on echool lunch menus elsewhere." Children of needy parents do not benefit from these cookies. They are unable to get the pennies to purchase the luxuries. This is made on the statement of Whitewater teachers. Vould Install Fixtures. The Domestic Science Club women Fought to install proper fixtures in the school and provide funds to start the school lunch plan. They expected a charge to be made for the food, perhaps enough to cover the bare cost of the materials. They also planned to provide money for destitute children to purchase food This money was to be distributed after due investigaion and with secrecy. Principal Ramsey now has a check for $25 in his possession, given to him by the Domestic Science club to instaU kitchen equipment in the school. This money cannot be used for that purpose as a result of the school board's action.

United States Senate and receive a salary of $10,000 for two months work. They find it impossible to obtain a large donation as transportation fees lo and from Indianapolis, Ind., in fact they find it almost impossible to obtain a decent living under present conditions. A number of people are honest enough not. to gather 1 billion, 930 million, 842 thousand 460 eggs when they have net heard a hen cackle or a rooster crow in three years. And society is now face to face with the problem of furnishing food to these honest people in times of adversity. In order to meet these conditions a number of organizations have come

forward, and many plans have been proposed. In Wayne county they have an organization formerly known as the Associated' Charities, but after introducing a number of principles which are not charitable in any respect, they have changed the name and it is now

known as the Wayne County Social Service Bureau. It is a well known fact that 80 per cent of the working men in Richmond, Ind., are only 30 tlays from actual hunger, and 90 days from starvatioa, and when by sickness or unemployment the income is ; cut off from the head of a family he is compelled to seek aid. , As he walks into the office of the Wayne County Social Service Bureau, he is cordially invited to take a seat, while the chief executive of that office looks over a number of cards, to see if the applicant has been an inmate of an insane or a penal institution or has a police record. After he is clear on this he again goes into the archives to find why the applicant has not become president of the United States or a member of his cabinet. After he finds a reason for this he again looks over the records to see if there is a surplus aside from Ms tremendous salary. If he finds there is, he gives the applicant a lecture on saving a large pura of money from a mediocre wage and issues an order for enough provisions to keep 50 sparrows for 30 days. Why should a man receive $1,500 per year, to administer the third degree, to unfortunate victims; why should he he paid an enormous salary to act as private detective for women who have been fleeced out of $2.70. This work can be done by a police officer. Under present conditions far be it from me to say, banish the Wayne

Anderson Lady Tells Story

Again Revealing the HealthGiving Power of Sweet's

VITALIS

It is the old, old story of the marvelous work of the great reconstructive tonic, VITALIS, told in this instance in a remarkably frnk manner by a very grateful woman. Read what she says: "I have been sick for a long while and was in the hospital for several weeks last summer. My whole body was out of order and it seemed I never would recover. I was not able to do my work and could not get around. Was advised to try Sweet's Vitalis and purchased some. After taking but a few bottles I have not an ache or pain, am doing my own work and can go any place with east. I am so thankful

to the Vitalis people that I can hardly express my thoughts and want anyone that is overworked or in a nervous condition to try this marvelous tonic. Call and see me and I will tell you what it has done for me. It touches all the aches. (Signed) LEONA ZINK." Sufferers from nervous disorder, kidney, stomach or liver trouble people in a general run-down condition, who cannot sleep have no appetite. To those sufferers VITALIS brings a message of relief, pointing the way to enjoyment of health and happiness. A special representative from the Laboratory is now at Quigley's Drug Store where he is daily meeting the public and explaining the merits of VITALIS. For sale at the Quigley Drug Stores, 400 Main St., 806 Main St., 98 W. Main St., 821 N. E, 1820 N. E.

Several other cigarettes may taste good too; but

You can't get the fullest enjoyment from smoking unless your cigarette is also COMFORTABLE. That is probably the main reason why so many men are selecting Fatimas for their steady smoke Because Fatimas are found to be truly comfortable not only to your throat

and tongue, but AFTER smoking, also. Even if you happen to smoke more than usual, Fatimas never remind you of it. Their delicately balanced Turkish blend of tested-pure tobaccos takes care of that. Your first package will show you how comfortable a sensible cigarette can be.

Editor, The Palladium: ; I have been taught to believe thai when a machine cost more to keep oiled and in .running order than its output was worth, then it was time to set that machine to one side and get something different. I think this should apply well to the Social Service Bureau. Whenever it costs one dollar to issue ten cents worth of charity then its time tOjlook up some other way of dishing it out. The $1,500 paid to the agent of the Social Service Bureau would go a long way toward relieving the suffering of the poor if turned into the proper channel. Charity in my mind should be given out to the needy by charitable societies, churches and unpaid agencies in a v;a"y that would do the most good. Richmond people too long have been paying out a dollar to have ten cents worth of charity dispensed and for this reason many people withhold donations for charity because it gets switched off on the siding and never
