Locusts Fine Food? Prof. E. A. Andrews of the zoology department of Johns Hopkins university has eaten a mess of locusts. "Fine", is his verdict. "Just like shrimp. If there were a scarcity of other food, persons who had tasted them would probably think nothing of eating them in large quantities. ' Those of us who have eaten them find the flavor pleasant." Hoosiers will not dispute the learned professor's judgment, but so long as our fields raise

feed for live stock, our acres produce corn and wheat, "and our gardens offer a variety of vege

tables, most of us"mlljDermit him to enjoy undis

turned and in solitary grandeur;, his portion of locusts. Nature this year permitted" the Jocust

to creep out of the earth after 17 years of hibernation, but it also evoked from the same soil the finest wheat crop in our history and other foodstuffs in rich abundance. Our Hoosier appetites will not crave the locust salad in preference to cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce ; and when they lose their attraction, we'll stick to lobster and shrimp salad or go without. We know that John the Baptist ate locusts and wild honey during his residence along the banks of the Jordan river, but his fellow Jews abided by the Mosaic food table despite the example of the great preacher. Prof. Andrews may have discovered a new food supply obtainable every 17 years in the United States, but, like the Jews of old, Americans will be satisfied with the conventional dishes of their forefathers. A year ago Hoover might have welcomed Professor Andrews' addition to our food sources, and the American people might have been induced to accept the substitute, but in 1919 well, the victory gardens are the answer.

One might believe that the author of this cheerful song, with its refrain, "There are smiles that make us happy, there are smiles that make us blue," never knew the meaning of affliction and the handicap, of disability. But just the contrary holds true. Mr.' Callahan often suffers from almost complete blindness and dictates to his wife, sometimes with alieavy black curtain between them, when his eyes are in an inflamed condition. His affliction has not robbed him of the joy of life, nor made of him a misanthrope who bewails his misfortune and grumbles at his fate. The many hours he spends in a dark room have not downed his cheerfulness. Out of his experience and suffering have come forth the songs that inspire the downcast and weary with a new hope. He has overcome his handicap and the whole world is made more cheerful and happy by the fruits of his victory. How absurd to permit personal affliction and grief to sour our dispositions and visit upon our families and friends the weight of our grumbling and groaning! Why complain of conditions mortal man cannot change and reiterate troublesome circumstances that remain unaltered by repetition? What solace and comfort is thfire in a mental viewpoint that believes you are the most abused of mankind ? Why not rejoice in the knowledge that the mind is superior to the afflictions that torment us, and sing with Mr. Callahan in the dark hour of tribulation? If we are unable to change a condition, surely our grovelling against fate will not improve the untoward circumstance. The irksome pangs of misfortune will lose their poignancy if accepted with an unconquerable spirit bent on remaining happy even in the dark valleys of misfortune. Mr. Callahan's life .and work are an inspiration.

MAKING THE SWITCH

The Passing of an Art The Detroit News believes that the mimicry of the old-time clown belongs to the lost arts, gone forever, supplanted by "stiff -jointed automatons, performing set stunts, depending on novel tricks and a generous stock of stage properties." ' Modern clowns, according to the view of the News, lack creative, ability and artistic finesse. "No art is found in them, nothing that any chalk faced biped couldn't do, sans genius, sans cleverness, sans humor, sans everything except their clown suit and trick instruments." Most of us are too young to speak with authority of the great artists of the clown world Grimaldi, Dan Rice, John Lolo, Slivers and Patterson. "They were masters of the silent pantomine, who conquered an audience by individual effort," says the News. "They were mimics, artistic fellows, with rubber faces and highly gifted physical equipment." In the old days clowns had the advantage of fmall tents,swhich gave them leeway for the full development of individual artistry and enabled them to get into intimate touch with their audience. The "big tops" of today with their towering array of seats have removed this advantage, forcing the clowns to resort to theatrical stunts to overcome the handicap. After all, the fault may not lie with the clown but with the changed condition under which he is forced to perform.

Smiles

"Smiles" is the title of a song that has found entrance into many thousands of American

homes and is sung by thousands across the sea, Its author is J. Will Callahan, a Hoosier.

National Banks Show Prosperity The widespread prosperity of the United States is shown by John Skelton Williams,-comptroller of the currency, who announced that his office is receiving many applications for new charters for national banks and requests for increases in the capital of the existing ones. There are, he said, a total of 439 such applications now pending.

"The aggregate amount of the capital of the new banks for which charters were asked and the increases in capital approved since January 1, 1919, was $29,033,000," Mr. Williams said. "There

have been during the past five months only three

reductions of capital amounting in the aggregate

to $60,000. On June 1, 1919, there were 7,803

national banks in operation the largest number ever reported. Their resources at this time ap

proximated $21,000,000,000. Only one has failed

since January 1, 1919, and 40 gone into voluntary liquidation." v

Lay the Ax to the Roots

From the Cincinnati Enquirer. NOT without shrewdness is the dishonest plea of the defenders of mob violence committed in the name of social reform that those using it are ignorant in letters and unacquainted with American institutions. One wheels an expert has just demonstrated beyond cavil that there are no fewer than forty-five proga.ganda centers in New York City alone which send out inflammfctory and Anarchistic literature by the ton, literally speaking, to all parts of the United States and Canada. It would seem most reasonable that the place for human society, seeking to defend itself, to strike, is at the points of production and against those who are the producers of the teachings of rapine, arson and murder. The police and the magistrates must be firm in applying the law, and the organization politicians who haunt the police courts either as judges, clerks or bailiffs, or as ward and precinct captains, must be brought to-under-stand that in striving to exculpate the guilty In order that their votes may be thus purchased, they are aiding treason. For example: In the Cleveland May Day riots a police lieutenant suffered the Indignity of being spat upon by a -woman. Taken before the magistrate it developed that she was a Czecho-Slovak-Amerlcan, and, astonishing to relate, employed to teach foreigners the English language and American institutions. Pleading for mercy, she told the court that she had been a Socialist until the St. Louis convention of 1917, and complained that the soliiiers, after her exploit with the policeman, had made.

her kneel and kiss the American flag. It was plain that

this person was a social pus focus and was poisoning the minds of the people whom she was . apparently teaching sound doctrines. The complaisant magistrate, whose name connoted his own foreign descent, fined hei" $10! She left his court smiling and is now a heroine among the Reds. Yet there Is wonder why the overturning movement grows. Hard, indeed, is it to have patience with those only badly disguised enemies to the existing order who clamor that anarchistic speech Is free and that deportation of aliens is an unconstitutional punishment proceeding from autocratic tyranny. Every school child krfows, or should know, that while speech is free in the Xinited States the charter granting it distinctly provides that responsibility attaches to those exercising this freedom. As for deportation, the late Theodore Roosevelt crisply made it clear that this country is inhabited by a nation, and is not a polygot boarding house. Through self-determination, exercised 143 years ago, the American people set up a government here and have sought in the prescribed orderly way to improve and refine it to meet changing conditions, only once resorting to arms. International law does not reign in these states and the alien sojourner has no rights above the resident citizen. We are not a collection 6f lubberly fools to be exploited, put upon and flouted by the brazen bands from across the two oceans. If the legislative arm of government, the executive consenting, enacts laws forbidding further immigration and authorizing deportation of the undesirable agitators and destructionists, none is authorized to object and jjemand a staying of our collective hanfl.

THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK AN OFFICE BOY I have always been Interested in office boys. I used to be one myself. I believe the office boy to be one of the greatest institutions on earth. . I believe that there is one employee in an organization that should always be selected by the president or the owner and that is the office boy. For It's the office boy who is plastic and adaptable. And it's the office boy who has the longest path to the top, before him. The office boy, as a rule, is not all clogged with false ideas and stuck-together practicalities. The other day in the directing room of a great corporation, I watched an office boy. He came in to dust the directors table. He did not take his cloth and give that top three or four wild swings and then leave by the quickest route. Carefully did he push the cloth across one surface then back again. Then carefully across and as carefully back again. Then he stood off and got his eyes upon every angle of that table until he was sure that it was dusted as no truer expert could have done it. Then without embarrassment or without one particle of feeling that the men of that room were among the builders of business history, he quietly left the room. There is a lot of inspiration to an office boy If he is of this sort. I have been thinking about this particular office chap ever since. I have forgotten all about the big directors and their fine leather chairs. Somehow or other I keep thinking about the ideas back in the head of that fellow and I, will bet one chance against a thousand that some day, he will be sitting in one of those leather chair, s around that very table or some table like it. If he isn't, it won't be his fault. There is more romance about the life and work of an office boy than any job within any organization. And as I think about it, I am happiest when I run back to my own office boy days. I made up my mind then that an office boy job was a wonderful job but the jobs above were still more wonderful. Be good to your office boy. Take him into your confidence. Some day he may be working WITH you, instead of for you.

"It further contains a pair of scissors and engraved upon it is the compound interest table, taxi -fares and the price of the whole thing complete is one dollar." "I repeat I don't want the thing!" ."No; I know you don't. You're one of those blooming old misers who won't buy a knife unless it has a weekly newspaper, a perpetual season ticket and an Italian opera coupon attached. Well, we've give up making that kind in war time at a dollar." Speaking at a dinner, Congressman Houston of Tennessee referred to the charming fads and foibles of the fair sex and smilingly recalled the following incident: At a social function one evening one of the male guests began a remark with the words, '"I bet she will," when an older gentleman interposed. "Young man," he added with a positive air, "don't ever bet that 'she will do anything. You can never tell what a woman will do." "You headed me off too soon," smiled the young man. "I was going to say that I would bet that she would do the unexpected." "Don't do it," continued the other. "Even that is not a safe bet."

Daniel was the only man we ever heard of who wasn't spoiled by being lionized.

When Was Street System Laid Out in Old Richmond)

For twenty years after the first settlement of this district, Richmond streets furnished a good pasturage and wandering place for the cows of the neighborhood, and were not distinguished from their surroundings, but in 1826 the first step toward the! present splendid street system of the city was made when "gutters were put in on both sides of the street." Until that time a few loads of tanbark or gravel laid down roughly between two rows of curbstone in several places along the main thoroughfare, were all the streets Richmond had.' The curbstones were often only flat rocks set up on their sides in the ground, and presented a jagged and uneven appearance. In general, however, the streets and 6idewalks were one, and consisted of plain earth packed by the feet of passing citizens and horses. When the gutters were ploughed, citizens foretold the glorious day when the city might be drained by subterranean drains. Later, rough horse racks, built by the citizens along the fronts of their stores or houses, began to appear. These were placed anywhere, in the street, sidewalk space, or yard, and presented a ragged, picturesque effect to the person who gazed directly down Main street. This uneven line of racks soon became a nuisance, and the town marshal was ordered to cut down all racks which trespassed upon the street. Alarmed, citizens quietly replaced their racks in line, and the street became neater of appearance.

NEW PLANT FOR THE TANLAC CO. IS COMPLETED

Sold by Thistlethwaite's Drug Stores and all other druggists.

Magnificent New Laboratory Has Daily Capacity of 36,000 Bottles.

What is said to be one of the largest pharamaceutical laboratories in the United States has been completed at Dayton, Ohio, for the manufacture of Tanlac, the well-known medicine, which according to recent reports is now having the largest sale of any medicine of its kind in the world. The erection of the new plant was made necessary by the rapid growth of the business, as the older plant was found to be wholly inadequate to supply the ever-increasine demand

which at the present rate of sale will

amount to more than five million bottles for the present year alone. By the erection of this plant the manufacturers of Tanlac are giving to the world just one more evidence of the remarkable growth and expansion of their business, and of their absolute confidence in its future. This announcement will be read with interest not only by the many thousands of Tanlac agents scattered throughout every state of the Union and throughout Canada, but to the millions who have used it beneficially as well. The new bifilding occupies 60,000 square feet of floor space. It is six stories in height, practically fire-proof throughout, and is of striking architectural design. It also has private railway facilities. This beautiful new structure now stands in striking contrast beside the older building where Tanlac was first made. Visitors to the laboratories are strongly impressed with the extremely modern character of the equipment. Everything is provided and splendidly arranged to promote systematic and rapid production. The verv latest ma

chinery and devices known to inven

tion ana pharmaceutical science are here used. The interior throughout is finished

in spotless white, and all cf the large

rorce or employees wear white uniforms, which they are required to change daily. The main offices on the frist floor are all finished in Car-

ara marble and mahogany.

The entire process of manufacture is conducted under absolutelv Kanltai-v

conditions. Even the bottles made expressly to contain Tanlac are washed and sterilized electrically by the ultra violet ray process. They are then filled by automatic machinery

and the finished Droduct is therefnre

never touched by human hands. When Tanlac was introduced Into Canada history repeated itself, and

tne aemand which had been created in the United States was mifrvw du

plicated in the Dominion Provinces. As a result, it was recently found necessary to establish another Tanlac

LaDoratory at Windsor, Canada which is on a somewhat smaller scale than the plant at Dayton, but is no less modernly equipped. These new facilities give a dally capacity of 36,000 bottles, but as Tanlac is rapidly being introduced into foreign countries it Is probably only a question of a few years before even large facilities will become necessary. While the manufacturers are necessarily working for capacity production, it is a fundamental rule of the Tanlac Laboratories that the quality of the medicine shall never b sacrificed to secure quantity output. Uniform quality is guaranteed by a series of careful inspections py expert chemists, from the time the roots, herbs, and barks are received in their rough state from all parts of the globe until their medicinal properties have been extracted by the most approved processes. The finished medicine is then' bottled, labelled, and shipped out to the tens of thousands of druggists throughout the United States nnrl

Canada, to supply a demand never be-

iore equalled for this or any4 other medicine. The executive sales offices tire located in Atlanta, Georgia, and occupy almost an entire floor of the Fourth Naional Bank Building of that city. Tanlac is sold in Richmond by Clem Thistlethwaite's stores and the leading druggist in every town. Adv.
