A Matter of Honor

More than 200,000 French soldiers have been

sent back from the firing line because they were so ill with tuberculosis that they were no longer able to fight. "Our men, Indiana men, too," says the Indiana Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis, "will fall victims of this disease through the hardships of life in the trenches. They are offering their lives for us, for every man, woman and child in your community. Will we do all that we can do to nurse them back to life and happiness when they come back home to us broken in health ? Each community in Indiana surely is too proud, too big of heart, too deeply conscious of its obligations to its own flesh and blood to refuse adequate provision for its returned tuberculous soldiers. Money from the sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals will open the way for this service. "If the Seal campaign in your community this year is to be all that it should be, if it is to measure up to the magnificent opportunity for a wonderful service for humanity to your own people the selling organization for Red Cross Seals this year must include the very best men in your community. Bankers, merchants, farmers, professional men, club women, must be brought to see the NECESSITY for big sales. They must be a part of the Seal selling organization. This year's Seal campaign is no plaything. It must not be used as the outlet for the surplus energy of two or three or a half dozen perfectly well intentioned men and women. It must be made a community effort. It must be the 'Big Thing' in your community during November and December just as the Liberty Loan campaign was this October and as the Red Cross membership and finance campaigns were last summer."

Siberian steppes, the world could watch with complacency the internal changes that are following the overthrow of autocracy. . 1 Conversely, the greatest asset of a republic is the enlightenment of its people. Education in a democracy is essentially necessary for the perpetuation of free institutions. Public opinion cannot be formed along correct lines if the people are not educated in the common schools and prer pared for the discharge of their duties as citizens. Richmond has held an enviable position in the educational system of Indiana for many years. Citizens take a personal interest in the schools

and are quick to resent and disapprove of practices that may undermine their high standing. This friendly surveillance may be accepted as one of the elements that has made for the excel

lence of the system.

his No-

Praise for the Richmond Schools It is with commendable pride that our citizens

read the flattering mention of the school work of Richmond contained in the "Rainbow Promises of

Progress in Education," issued after a nationwide investigation by the Institute for Public Service, New York. The most abiding element of hope for the future strength of any community is its school system. This is the foundation not only of municipal but also of state and national strength, for the children of today are the men and women of tomorrow. Educate the children thoroughly, give them the cultural and vocational training necessary for life, and you have laid a foundation that will not be destroyed by storm and stress. Nations become great and remain so only if the youth is educated aright. Our forefathers were strong because they were educated. Their intellectual preparation enabled them to understand what is involved in free institutions, and so they were willing to fight to obtain and preserve them. One of the most palpable weaknesses in the Russian crisis today is the ignorance of the masses. If Russia had a free school system that reached even the most isolated peasants in the

Submarine Inactivity A number of theories have been advanced regarding the decrease in the number of ships torpedoed by submarines. One plausible explanation is that the Germans are preparing for a submarine attack on our Atlantic coast. It is argued that the foe be

lieves that a few bombs dropped in New York or

Boston by a hydro-plane launched from a submarine will create such terror in the coastwise cities that part of our fleet would be recalled from its patrol work in the North Sea. Whatever may be the reason for the falling off in the submarine toll, the American people want to be prepared for eventualities in our own waters and must not let a .submarine attack on our coast cities frighten them into a hysteria which will clamor for the recall of the ships that are doing effective work abroad. The scourge of the seas will not be eradicated by a foolish demand on our part. The naval and military leaders of our country have not overlooked the possibility of submarine attacks and are prepared for the visitation. Insistance on the recall of part of our ships, owing to unnecessary clamor at home, would be a calamity.

The Nation Must Concentrate and Consecrate Its All

THANKFUL? SURE. (President Wilson has issued proclamation, fixing Thursday,

vember 29, as Thanksgiving day. I am thankful For a tankful Of good food three times a day. I am thankful That starvation Hasn't come around my way. I am thankful For the codfish That, somehow I always get. Hi Costofliving's humping, 'But he hasn't licked me Yet. I am thankful For a bumper crop Of fine and robust health. I am thankful I don't have to Lug around A let of wealth. I am thankful For my freedom. Yes, I am a lucky mug.

Many men, no worse Than I am Are reclining in the jug. I am thankful for My friendships And the charity of man. But above all else, I am thankful That I am an American. Any Yank who can't Be thankful And is cast down in the dumps Is a flivver, Is a bonehead, And the chump of all the chumps,

done. Things are all going by contraries these ,days. It may happen.

MODERN MAIDS. May couldn't cook, no not a bit;

But, gracious, how the girl could knit! She couldn't knit socks for her dad, For that, you see, was not the fad. Madge couldn't walk down to the store, But she could dance nine hours or more, At wheeling baby, she'd have died, But she could do the Peacock Glide.

Demand For Labor Cuts Down "Drunks" in New York City

NEW YORK, Nov. 20. Drunkenness has decreased greatly in New York because of the demand for labor 'caused by the war and "indirect" prohibition, according to conclusions reached by officials of the board of inebriety and hospital authorities, made public today. . - Arrests for intoxication dwindled from 1,022 in February to 969 in Aug

ust, while the psychopatic ward in Bellevue hospital has had fewer alcoholic patients in the last six months than at any time in its history. Similar decreases in other hospitals also have been reported.

E are face to face with the most stupendous crisis

in human history. This is the most momentous hour that civilization has known. There is no

middle ground. It is death or victory. Death to our country; death to the women and babies of the land; death to its men; death to our civilization and to the civilization of the world, all on the one side; or a complete victory of this country and the Allies over Germany on the other side. The struggle will be a long and desperate one. It will tax to the utmost every latent and every developed mental, moral, spiritual, financial and physical force of this country. He who is a slacker in thought, in word or deed is an' enemy to every woman and every child in this country, an enemy to our nation and to civilization. He who is not willing to throw into this contest, in his office, in his factory, on his farm, in his pulpit, in his teacher's chair, in his work as a clerk, as an editor, as a mechanic, or as a day laborer, every ounce of his strength, mejital and physical, and die if need be in the work for his country, as the soldier on the battlefield, is a degenerate, a slacker, a traitor, a despicable creature who should be spurned of all men, as we believe he will be in the eyes of the Almighty as the lukewarm whom God has said will be spewed out of His mouth because he is neither hot nor cold. Let it be preached from the pulpit, let it be taught in the class-room, let it be proclaimed wherever men meet; let every individual soul outside of the insane asylum, think and speak in terms of consecration and concentration of all that Is in him and all that he has, to this the greatest task to which the world has ever been called. We can win, we can gloriously win, if the nation will consecrate its all to the winning. But it means a fearful sacrifice of the flower of the nation's life thrown upon the altar in defense of all that men and women hold dear on earth. It means consecration to the nation's salvation or eternal damnation by Germany. Which do you choose?

GOOD ADVICE FOR THOSE WHO FEAR DEAFNESS People who are growing hard of hearing and who experience a stuffy feeling of pressure against their ear drums, accomnanied by buzzing, rumuling sounds in their head like water falling or steam escaping should take prompt and effective measures to stop this trouble. Head noises are almost invarr'ably the forerunners of complete or partial deafness, and most deaf people suffer from them constantly. Sometimes these head noises become so distracting and nerve-racking, with their never ceasing "hun," they drive the sufferer almost frantic and complete nervous breakdown may result. Thanks to a remarkable prescription, it is now possible to lessen the severity of these head noises and often completely overcome them and with the disappearing of the head noises the hearing also greatly improves, and very frequently can be restored to normal. It can be easily prepared at home and we believe is a most effective treatment for this trouble. From your druggist secure 1 oz. Parmint (Double Strength), take this home and add to it i pint of hot water and 4 ounces of granulated sugar. Stir until dissolved. Take one tablespoonful four times a da3r. Parmint is used ia this way not only to reduce by tonic action the inflammation and swelling in the Eustachian Tubes, and thus to equalize the air pressure on the drum, but to correct any excess of secretions in the midtlle ear, and the results it gives are usually quick and effective. Every person who has catarrh in any form should give this recipe a trial. Clem Thistlethwaite can supply you. Adv.
