height of folly to refrain from installing machinery that will assure the accumulation of a coal supply.
Coal in- sufficient quantities to insure unin
terrupted service cannot be stored at the plant under present conditions. A coal handling device is the only method whereby it can be accumulated in quantities to guarantee full time operation of the plant in a crisis. The city authorities should not permit the summer to pass without having the equipment installed and the coal delivered.

Coal Handling Machinery for Light Plant
The disturbing experiences of the last twoi
winters' should prove conclusively to the city authorities that it is unwise to let another winter approach without equipping the municipal light plant with a coal handling device. The continuous operation of our industries and the comfort of our homes rest in a great degree on the efficiency of the light plant, for we depend upon it for power and light. Interruption in service means the closing down of many factories, inconvenience in many business houses and lack of light at night in our homes. If the city authorities are holding off order
ing the equipment because of the expenditures involved in its purchase, it might be well for them to remember that in the long run it is inexpedient to be penny wise and dollar foolish. The municipal light plant always should carry a surplus of coal in its bunkers that will guarantee to the citizens of Richmond, who own the plant, that their factories will have power and their homes light under all circumstances. Freight congestion this fall may be worse than it was last year; weather conditions may be worse next winter than they were a few ye&vs ago; strikes may prevent coal deliveries for many weks. It is wisdom of the. highest order to buy the fuel and store it while it can be had, and it is the
Crimes and Pardons
The abuse of the pardon and parole privilege
was roundly denounced by Judge Anderson of the United States District Court at Indianapolis the other day. Failure of state courts to convict men guilty of crimes and the free use of the pardon power stirred his wrath. When a federal judge in Indiana was calling attention to the menace of pardoning men on the slightest pretexts, newspapers of Chicago were calling attention to a similar condition in Illinois. They pointed out that the number of pardons and paroles in that state in the last year was almost equal to the number of convictions.
One Chicago newspaper has insisted for
many months that the -crime wave of tha city could be traced directly to the ease with which criminals, some of them with long records in penitentiaries, obtain pardons. The newspaper insists that criminals have no respect for the dignity of the law, if they know they can escape the consequences of criminal actions by a short service in a penal institution. Criminality will not be cured by sentiment. Jf prisons are to be pleasant recreational institutions, we might just as well remove the penalty clauses from our laws arid let all bars down, for it is inconsistent to provide a penalty which will not be enforced.

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams
BE AN INDIVIDUAL COMPOSITE In a sense, we are all great common divisors. In as true a way are we a part of everything that we see or experience as is everything both individual and unique in itself. So that if you want to experience -the thrill of vibrating life, you must add a part of every man's brain to your own. And then you must scatter the fineness of all that you have absorbed. But first be an individual composite. In other wordB, be the best and wisest of all that you have seen, read, learned, felt or though. It is as natural for your brain to give as it is for it to take. There is no age limit to the brain as there is none to personality. The
brain takes no more than it can use. 1 But the more you use your brain, the I
more it delights to take.

It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it. out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it. then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it In gently with the finger tips.

You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter -how much daEdruff you have. This simple remedy never fails. Adv.

FOUND RELIEF FROM CATARRH Nose and head stopped up every morning. Drippings from back-of nose got stomach irritated. Dreco, the great herbal remedy, gave relief.
A famous doctor, writing about catarrh, says: "When the nose is stopped up, as by a cold in the head,or when the bad habit of mouth
breathing is indulged in, the air we breathe is only partially warmed, moistened, and otherwise prepared for contact with the deeper tissues, therefore, diseases of the throat, windpipe or lungs are very apt to develop." "I have been a sufferer from catarrh for a long time," says Mr. W. L.. Byrum, 907 Sheridan street, Richmond, Indiana. "There seemed to be a constant dripping into my throat from the back of my nose. Upon rising in the morning my head and nose would be all stopped up, and it wcfuld take some time to get them cleared. My breath most of the time was foul, 'and my breathing was heavy and difficult. I knew of the benefits people we.re receiving from taking Dreco, so bought a bottle. At the end of the first bottle, 1 felt that my condition was much improved; on rising I was not nearly somuch stopped up: my breath was sweeter, and the dripping much less I am continuing the treatment and feel that I will get a permanent cure, and do not hesftate to recommend Dreco to anyone suffering as I was." Dreco acts directly on catarrhal conditions of the nose, head, throat
and stomach, as it is quickly absorbed j by the blood and circulated to the j affected pa its, where it's tonic action is soon felt, giving prompt benefit, i and, if the use is continued, often , affects permanent relief.
All good druggists now sell Dreco. and it is highly recommended in this city by Clem Thistlethwaite's Seven Drug Stores. Advertisement.
