THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM 1 . AND SUN-TELEGRAM

Published Every Evening Except Sunday, by Palladium Printing Co. Palladium Building. North Ninth and Sailor Streets,. R. G. Leeds, Editor. E. H. Harris, Mgr. Entered at the Post Office at Richmond, Indiana, as Second Class Mail Matter.

In the comparatively near future the air service will be more important than the army and navy combined. Rear Admiral Peary. False Economy No councilman supporting the police judge ordinance has yet given an adequate reason why this added expense should be saddled on the taxpayers of Richmond. Public improvements in this city came to a stop a year ago because the city did not have the money to construct new thoroughfares. Indications are that no public improvements will be made next year for the very same reason. Economy is practiced in every department.

Governor Goodrich has called on the state to cur

tail expenses during the war period.

The crying question today is not the wasting

of money but the conservation of it.

Now, the city council proposes to create a new

office and spend $1,200 annually for work which

the mayor hitherto has done without interferring

with his other duties. Assuredly his work next year, under the wartime economy of the city, will be less than this. Hence, the short time he spends in the police court will not interfere with his efficiency. If the city wants to spend $1,200 annually, it might do a much wiser thing than creating the office of police judge. One need look only at the inadequate sewer system of the city-to see a problem of infinitely more importance than that of the police judge. If the city council wants to spend $1,200, let it appropriate that amount to obtain a survey of the sewer problem. Every property owner in this city is vitally affected by the inadequate;

system today which is menacing the community. No taxpayer would object to an appropriation for this purpose, but he does object to the creation of a position whose need has not been proved. The supporters of the city judge proposal cannot point to a man who has not obtained justice in the police court. . , The supporters of the movement cannot name a mayoralty candidate who has refused a nomination because he had to preside over the police court. The proposition lacks merit.

The Increasing Stress of American Life In America the war order to "Speed up" comes to a people whose vitality is already under abnormal strain. To generalize, we may say that this life strain is due to intemperate living, that is, over-indulgence in physical and mental activity on the part of some, and of ease, luxury and lack of physical activity on the part of others. Proud as we are of the progress already made in fighting disease, our efforts have been puny indeed compared to the magnitude of health and life waste still going on. - . 1 Signs of the high nervous and mental tension under which many of us live in normal times are abundant especially in the mortality records. We have, for instance, over 15,000 suicides annually. Our murder rate is many times higher than that of any other civilized country. The number of people whom we maim or kill in our streets on our railways, and in our industries, due almost wholly to the heedless haste, or reckless neglect of individuals and employers, is truly appalling. . This mangling and killing of citizens is far beyond that of any other nation. Other signs of the mental and physical stress of American life are found in the declining birth rate, in the increase in insanity and mental defectives, in the rejection of over one-third of our young men by the recruiting officers for lack of physical fitness and endurance, and in the great number of overfed and under-exercised people in

the various walks of American life. These are all common signs of life strain familiar to people who observe and read, but there are other convincing evidences of which the average person knows little bcause they are buried in the vital statistics. He does not know, for instance, that every year about 60,000 Americans below age 40 die of

the disease of old age. These are due to the wearing out of the vital organs weakened by the stress of life in this or former generations. These organs should not break down until advanced age, and yet we lose about 600,000 people below middle life from organic diseases every decade a considerable army in itself. Above age 40 we have approximately 350,000 deaths from these same causes annually. Fully seventy-five per cent of these deaths in both groups are premature; they could be deferred and productive lives prolonged for years if we would teach our people how to follow healthful habits of living. . If the government can undertake to teach us how to save the lives of plants, trees and animals, why not.human beings?

CHAPTER XIII Telling the story afterward King never made any effort to describe his own sensations. It was surely enough to state what he saw, after a breathless climb among the rat-runs of a mountain with his imagination fired already by what had happened in the Cavern of Earth's Drink. The leather curtains slipped through his fingers and closed behind him with the clash of rings on a rod. But he was beyond being startled. He was not really sure, he. was in the world. He knew he was awake, and he knew he was glad he had left his shoes outside.' But he was not certain whether it was the twentieth century or firty-Hve.B. .C.,r or, earlier yet; or whether time had ceased. Very vividly in that minute there flashed begore his mind Mark Twain's suggestion of the "Transposition of Epochs." The place where he was did not look like a cave, but a palace chamber for. the rock walls had. been trimmed and polished smooth; then they had been painted pure white, except for a wide blue frieze, with a line of goldleaf drawn underneath it. And on

the frieze, done in gold-leaf too, was the Grecian lady of the lamps, always dancing. There were fifty or sixty figures of her, no two the same. A dozen lamps were burning, set in niches cut in the walls at measured intervals. They were exactly like the outside, except that their horn chimneys were stained yellow instead of red, suffusing everything in a golden glow. Opposite him was a curtain, rather like that through which he had entered. Near to the curtain was a bed,

whose great wooden posts were cracked with age. And it was at the bed he stared, with eyes that took in every detail but refused to believe. In spite of its age it was spread with fine new linen. Richly embroidered, not very ancient Indian draperies hung down from it to the floor on either side. On it, above the linen, a man and a woman lay hand-in-hand; and the woman was- so exactly like YasminI, even to her clothing, and her naked feet, that it was not possible for a man to be self-possessed. They both seemed asleep. It was as if Yasmini, weary from the dancing, had laid herself to sleep beside her lord. But who was he? And why did he wear Roman armor? And

why as there no guard to keep intruders out? It was minutes before he satisfied himself that the man's breast

did not rise and fall under the bronze armor and that the woman's jeweled gauzy stuff was still. Imagination played such tricks with him that. In the stillness he Imagined he heard breathing. After he was sure they were both dead, he went nearer, but it was a minute yet before he knew the woman as not she. At first a ild thought possessed him that she

had killed herself. The only thing to show who he had been were the let

her, and like Yasmini too, that it was difficult to decide which of the two it represented. She had lived when he did, for her fingers were locked in his. And he had lived two thousand years ago, because his armor was about as old as that, and for proof that he had died

What beauty specialists regard as one of the most important discoveries in recent years is the phelactine method of removing superfluous hair. Its great advantage, of course, lies in the fact that it actually removes the hair roots. It does this easily, instantly, harmlessly. Sufferers from the affliction named need no longer despair. The actual hair roots come out before your very eyes, leaving the skin as smooth and hairless as a babe's. Because it offers such complete relief, a stick of phelactine is the most inexpensive thing a woman can buy for the removal of hairy growths. For the same, reason druggists do not hesitate to sell it under a money-back guarantee. You can use it with entire safety; it is so harmless one could even eat it without any ill effect. Adv.

The nights are not disturbed with nervous twitchlngs and the crisis Is one of great happiness and less pain. Get a bottle from the drugrslst and write the Bradfield Regulator Co., Dept.
