Corrupt Practices The board of public works is on the right track in demanding that the Andrews Asphalt company explain its tactics among property owners of North F street. If the company cannot obtain contracts by methods that are fair and honest, it ought to cease trying to work in Richmond. One need not to be versed deeply in city affairs to know that an asphalt pavement for North F street would be a wanton waste of public money. The street parallels the Pennsylvania tracks to the north and is used almost exclusively for heavy hauling. Asphalt could not stand the heavy traffic to which it would be subjected. President Bavis of the board of public works in the hearing Monday said he had heard before this that the Andrews company was active in influencing resident property owners to vote for asphalt instead of brick or concrete. One street in West Richmond, which is a heavy artery of traffic connecting factory districts with the transportation depots, has been covered with asphalt. Brick or concrete should have been placed there. Rumors about unfair methods used to obtain that contract have been circulating in the City Hall, according to President Bavis. The investigation ordered on the North F street improvement by the board of public works should be taken as a warning by contractors in Richmond and Wayne county. This community will not tolerate tactics that are not above board and clean. Public improvements for which the city and county taxpayers put up the money must be free from all taint of corruption. Charity Imposition John Melpolder, paid agent of public philanthropy in Richmond, commenting on charity imposition in this city ten years ago, is moved to remark that the work of social service betterment works slowly. We share his observation. The proof of it

may be found in the Social Service Bureau. John Melpolder long ago did his work as an organizer. Because he is temperamentally unable to do constructive social service work the bureau is now at a standstill. Little uplift work has characterized the career of the bureau in the last year. The community also is aware of this weakness. It takes the position of the Russell Sage Foundation that constructive work must follow the granting of relief. Melpolder's ability as a social service worker ends just as soon as he tries to make a poor family financially independ

ent, because his brusque methods of approach de

stroy the respect and confidence which the appli cant should have in the secretary.

His remark that many people were imposed

upon by the unworthy poor ten years ago and also in the year before he assumed ' his work

.here, is true. But it proves nothing. If the poor

will be with us always, we must be prepared always to find a percentage of unscrupulous persons among the poor. If Melpolder has eliminated the charity grafters, it is a point in his favor, for which we gladly give him credit. But the purpose of the Bureau is much greater than to weed out grafters. Melpolder has not been able to carry out the greater aims of the organization.

Von Hindenburg's Retreat The retreat of the Germans on the western front is still a puzzle to the tacticians of the Allies. Von Hindenburg has succeeded in cloaking his withdrawal, leaving its purpose a matter of conjecture. The retreat is not a rout. The Allies are taking fev prisoners and little booty, only those stores which the Germans are leaving for the few troops that are fighting rear guard actions. Consequently, the British cannot boast of a big victory. The suggestion is offered that the Allies have made excellent plans of the old lines of the Germans and that Von Hindenburg has withdrawn his men to spoil the effectiveness of the British artillery against positions with which the allies were acquainted. Von Hindenburg is forcing the Allies to bring up their artillery to new positions and to renew the work of ascertaining the strength and position of the new lines. Or in other words the Allies have won only useless ground. Another explanation is that Von Hindenburg wants to shorten his lines on the west so that he will have more troops on the eastern line. This will enable him to release Turkish troops that have been fighting in the north. The Turks need all their men in the southern zone where Great Britain is making advances about Bagdad.

To the Editor of Richmond Palladium: Sir: Growing out of the discussion at recent meeting between the county superintendent of schools, Mr. Williams, the trustee and advisory board of Wayne school township, and undersigned, in considering needB of Wayne township in new bulldigs, and petition for establishment of vocational school in the township, it was determined to fubmlt for consideration of county board of education, and the several school corporations of the county, a plan as afterwards outlined, not that such plan should be final, but that same may be available as a basis of discission. It is presumed that all will admit the necessity of vocational training; that all will admit that within the city of Richmond should be located the branch providing for "industrial education," as from within euch city would the school (though available to any one in the county) receive its larger attendance; and that all will admit that vocational instruction if undertaken at all, should be upon such a scale that the expenses of Investment and fixed charges will be such, as not to entail a hardship upon the various school corporations, resulting either in the final discontinuance, or previous refusal to join the movement.

In consideration of the suggestion tion

herein it Is well to remember, since the plan comprehends a county unit, that in both Franklin and New Garden townships exists at present an abso-

lute necessity for new common and high school buildings; that in Hagerstown like necessity for new school

j bunlding for both common and high school exists; that in Perry township I the necessity for extensions and ad- ! ditions to present equipment; that in j all towns and township of Jackson township is necessity of additional

buildings and equipment; in city of Richmond necessity of new junior high school buildine. in Wayne township

necessity of new building for district!

No. 10 and addition to building for district No. 11, and that In no present school buildings In county with possible exception of Boston township, are there facilities or equipment suitable for vocational Instruction except in meager degree. Further it is to be remembered in considering suggestion made, that Center township is surrounded by and touches nine of the remaining fourteen townships of the county, that at western boundary of Centerville still remains intact the only structure of historical consequence or significance in the county, the Morton homestead, and that some one-half mile away is the county farm, where Wayne county has now an Investment of value upwards of $75,000, and which should be available to all further and possible educational purposes not conflicting with present uses, and that vocational schools to receive support from the state must be upon or near railroad or interurban railway lines. To the end therefore of meeting the demands of the present, as well as anticipating those of the future as much as can be, let all the school corporations of the county, some 21, join In establishing a vocational school system, and thereafterwards co-operate In maintenance and expense, locating the branch thereof at which Is offered "industrial education" in city of Richmond, and organizing four branches at

which is offered "agricultural educa-

and offering "domestic science"

in all. Let the branch in city of Rich-

mona ne maae a pan oi nign scnooi course and in conjunction with established high school, and let new buildings and branches be located at or near Fountain City to accommodate the northeastern part of county, at or near Hagerstown for the northwestern, at or near Cambridge City for the more populous southwestern part of county, and acquire Morton place for general

southeastern portion, maintaining

present homestead, and making avail

able the county farm for experimental

and practical purposes.

Such a plan comprehends also the

usual high school courses to be avail

able in order to eliminate thereby dup

lication of expenses. A study of the

map of the county shows euch sites to be the various centers of population,

not a prohibitive distances, and at

same time by such or like plan could

tne contemplated building improve

ments in the various centers be made upon a scale properly anticipating the

future and with substantial ultimate

economy.

Brick Chimney

Falls on Gephart

EATON, O., March 21. David Gephart, aged about 70, was almost instantly killed Tuesday at his home one-half mile north of West Sonora, when a brick chimney fell upon him. His skull was fractured and his body badly bruised. With a couple of assistants, Gephart was moving a small outbuilding. They failed to notice a guy-wire leading from the chimney to the building, and when the structure was removed the chimney toppled over. Gephart is survived by his widow and four children. The children are all married.

FOR CATARRH-CATARRHAL DEAFNESS OR HEAD NOISES YOU SHOULD TRY PARMINT

If you have Catarrh, Catarrhal Deafness or Head Noises caused! by Catarrh, or if phlegm drops in your throat and has caused Catarrh of the stomach or bowels you should secure proper treatment at once. Don"t neglect Catarrh! Don't let it make you into a worn-out, run-down Catarrhal wreck. Remember Catarrh is niorte than a trifling ailment more than a disgusting disease. It's a dangerouf one. Unchecked it frequently destroys smell, taste and hearing. It clogs the nostrils and slowly but surely undermines the general health. Sprays, salves and inhaters may bring you a temporary relief but permanent results can only corcie from a constitutional treatment tha't will expel the Catarrhal poisons from your system. If you are a victim of Caf;arrh and have not been able to find rolief from your trouble, go to your druggist today and get an ounce of Parmlnt, about 75c worth, take this home and add to it four ounces of sugar and 1-4 pint hot water. Take a tablespoonful four times a day. It acts npon the

blood and mucous membrane and has brought relief to those who thought there was no help for their trouble. Parmlnt has been used in the treatment of Catarrh throughout Europe for many years. A recent canvas of the American druggists shows that it is now being extensively used in this country where it is producing satisfactory results even in localities where Catarrh is most prevalent. To be able to breath freely, to hear plainly, smell, tasto and arise in the morning refreshed and strong and with head and throat free from phlegm are conditions that you should strive to secure. For your own sake give Parmint a trial." Certainly you cannot enjoy and get the good out of life that you are justly entitled to so long as you are

afflicted with Catarrh. Start with Parmint NOW, today. It may bring you a relief and give you a wider margin of health than you thought it possible to obtain. Parmint is sold and recommended in this city by all first-class druggists. Clem Thistlethwaite can supply you. Adv.

New York, N. Y. It is conservatively estimated that over three million people annually In this country alone are taking Nuxated Iron. Such astonishing results have been reported from its use both by doctors and laymen, that a number of physicians in various parts of the country .have been asked to explain why they prescribe it 60 extensively, and why it apparently produces so much better results than were obtained from the old form of inorganic iron. Extracts from some of the letters received are given below: Dr. King, a New York physician

and author says: "There can be no vigorous iron men without iron. Pallor means anaemia. Anaemia means iron deficiency. The skin of anaemic men and women is pale. The flesh flabby. The muscles lack tone, the brain fags and the memory fails and they often become weak, nervous, irritable, despondent and melancholy. When the iron goes from the blood of women, the rosea go from their cheeks. In the most common foods of America, the starches, sugars, table syrups, candies, polished rice, white bread, soda crackers, biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti, tapioca, sago, farina, degerminated corn-mean, no longer is iron to be found. Refining processes have removed the iron of Mother Earth from these impoverished foods, and silly methods of home cookery, by throwing down . the waste-pipe the water in which our vegetables are cooked Is responsible for another

grave iron loss. Therefore, if you wish to preserve your youthful vim and vigor to a ripe old age, you must supply the iron deficiency in your food by using some form of organic iron, just a3 you would use salt when your food has not enough salt. Dr. E. Sauer, a Boston physician who has studied widely in both this country and in prominent European

Medical Institutions says: "As I have

ney. liver and heart troubles, etc. The

real and true cause which started their diseases was nothing more nor less than a weakened condition brought on by lack of iron in the blood." Not long ago a man came to me who was nearly half a century old and asked me to give him a preliminary examination for life insurance. I was astonished to find him with a blood pressure of a boy of 20 and as full of vigor, vim and vitality as a young man; in fact a young man he really was notwithstanding his age. The secret, he said, was taking iron nuxated iron had filled him with renewed life. At 30 he was in bad health; at 46 he was careworn and nearly all in now at 50, after taking Nuxated Iron a miracle of vitality and his face beaming with the buoyance of youth. Iron is absolutely necessary to en

able your blood to change food into living tissue. Without it, no matter how much or what you eat, your food merely passes through you without doing you any good. You don't get the strength out of it, and as a consequence you become weak, pais and sickly-looking, just like a plant trying to grow in a toil deficient in iron. If you are not strong or well you owe it to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five-grain tablets of ordinary nuxated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength againand see how much you have gained. I have seen dozens of nervous, run-down people who were ailing all the while double their strength and endurance and entirely rid themselves of all symptoms

Nature for the red coloring matter In

the blood of her children, is, alas! not that kind of iron. You must take iron in a form that can be easily absorbed and assimilated to do you any good, otherwise it may prove worse than useless. Many an athlete or prize-fighter has won the day simply because he knew the secret of great strength and endurance and filled his blood with iron before he went into the affray; while many another has gone down in inglorious defeat simply for the lack of iron." NOTE Nuxated Iron, which is prescribed and recommended abbve by physicians in such a great variety of cases, is not a patent medicine nor secret remedy, but one which is wellknown to druggists and whose iron constituents are widely prescribed by eminent physicians both in Europe and America. Unlike the older inorganic iron products it is easily assimilated, does not Injure the teeth, make them black, nor upset the stomach; on the contrary, it is a most potent remedy in nearly all forms of indigestion as well as for nervous, run-down conditions. The manufacturers have such great confidence in nuxated iron, that they offer to forfeit $100.00 to any charitable institution if they cannot take any man or woman under 60 who lacks iron, and increase their strength 200 per cent or over In four weeks' time, provided they have no serious organic trouble. They also offer to refund your money if it does not at least double your strength and endurance ia ten days' time. It is dispensed in this city by Conkey Drug Co., Thistlethwaite drug stores and all good druggists. Adv.
