REPORT OF FRIENDS RELIEF WORK GIVEN TO LOCAL OFFICES Opening ot relief work by the Friend in Germany. Austria. Poland and Serbia; and the closing' of work in France April 1, 1920. marked the closing of the third yar of the American -Friends service . committee, according to a report Just received at the Friends central offices here. Finances Are Reported .... This report states that for the fiscal year of the committee's operations, the receipts were $3,178,015.48, as compared wih $511,542.21 for the first year, and $635,986.23 for the second year. The large increase of receipts for the third yearT it is said, was due to the work of feeding about 500,000 children in Germany, tor which about $2,750,000 in money and supplies was contributed. Feeding of several hundred tnousand undernourished German children one hot meal a day, was one of the most important developments during the third fiscal year. Children Undernourished The report reads In part: -Jane Addams, Dr. Alice Hamilton and Carolena M. Wood, the first representatives in Germany of the Friends service committee, reported an alarminr rnnritti-m . of malnutrition among

young children, particularly in the larger cities. Rickets, tuberculosis stunted growth threatened to deprive a whole generation of German children of the fair chance which is the com- , mon right of every child in the great human family. Germany, as a highly organized Industrial nation, has always been an importer of foodstuffs. With her diminished food production it is estimated that she can produce at present only 55 per cent of the minimum requirements of normal human existence. "With her treaty obligations, her demoralized industries and the extreme depreciation of her money in foreign markets, she could not buy the remaining 45 per cent. Child life consequently suffered most under such conditions, because the foods that are lacking are the foods chiefly needed by growing bodies." Report Summarizes Work For the period prior to September 1. 1920, the relief committee served about 44,600,000 meals. During this period enough food was shipped to Germany to provide about 61,700,000 meals. These shipments represented a cost of about $3,100,000, and consisted of the following commodities and quantities: Lard. 754 tons; cocoa, 527 tons; sugar, 1.125 tons; milk, 7,770 tons; rice, 802 tons; flour. 4.793 tons; beans, 872 tons; peas, 926 tons, and oil, 146 barrels. Work to Continue It has been decided to continue the work at least until July, 1921. For this period the German government has promised to furnish the flour and sugar needed to balance the ration, which will represent a contribution of about $2,225,000. It is hoped to reach a maximum of a million children. The great suffering of the peoples of Germany for need of necessities of life, were found to be as bad or worse In Austria, Poland and Serbia, according to the report.

Indiana to be used in" raising their

auota for the erection of the Gibault

Home for Neglected and Dependent Boys. As the local council had raised its full contribution, it is entitled to

keep the ball as a souvenir. When "Babe" Ruth, who is a K. C, was in Indianapolis he told John P! O'Donnell, secretary of the Gibault Home commission, he would send the balls to be used for the Home. Ruth, himself from an orphans' home in New York, was much interested In the establishment of such a home In Indiana. This summer Ruth paid the expenses of the band from the orphans' home in New York to traveL'ith him. They were here and in Intnanapolis about three weeks ago.

Wage Earners and Business Men Oppose Excess Profit Tax Law

(EDITOR'S ' XOTEi One of the promlaeat maaafaetarera of Richmond taaa nabmlttfd the appended article oa the polltleo-eeonoinic conditions la the United States. Four thousand mea of affairs answered a list of 23 questions, submitted by a A'ew York and Chicago baaklaa concern. The result of the survey is Incorporated la the article, which follows.) Harris, Winthrop & Co., of New York and Chicago, a well known banking concern, have compiled what is probably the most comprehensive survey of political and economic conditions in the United States that has yet been attempted. Any parisan political purpose in its publication is disavowed. It is described as "A Composite Picture of Business America" and has been compiled from the answers to 25 questions submitted to over four thousand men of affairs in every state of the union. It is the fourth report of this kind that Harris, Winthrop & Co. have published. In explaining why the Investigation was undertaken at this time, the firm says that "America now seems to be at another important turning point in its economic history," and that, "If the people are wise in choosmsr the road that they elect to follow; if the vagarious theorizing:, the ill considered taxation and the extravagance that were perhaps unavoidably incident to the war shall be succeeded by common sense methods and sensible economy in both our private and public expenditures there is, we think, every reason to expect that the necessary deflation can be effected without distress. "If, on the other hand, there Is any substantial portion of our population that is still disposed to believe that a Utopia can be created by statute, that socialism makes for happiness and prosperity or that wealth can be produced wjthout work then we are indeed in danger." What They Believe Important The answers elicited are unusually interesting. Out of a total of 3,673 replies, 2,641 say that the question of reduced taxation is considered more Important than the League of Nations by the voters in their section and about the same proportion report that a majority of the people, wage earners included, favor the abolition of the excess profits" tax and a reduction of the income tax. 2,621 answers out of 3,573 indicate that a small consumption tax or turn-over tax of one to one and a half per cent levied on the total business or sales of every going concern would be generally favored. In regard to the tariff, which was one of the subjects inquired about, the answers indicate that public opin

ion is about equally divided between a desire for higher tariff protection and a maintenance of the present duties. Liquor Question Question No. 6, which reads as follows : "There are some who favor prohibition that have come to believe that It is practically unenforceable and that the corruption and lawlessness that It breeds more than offsets its benefits. A definite answer to the question is difficult but we would like to know whether you favor a liberalization of the law in order to permit the sale of light wines and beer." has elicited many replies, a majority of which favor the proposed liberalization. In the northwestern district, comprising Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Dakotas, opinion is equally divided as to the desirability of modifying the law. The verdict elsewhere seems to indicate that a large portion of the national territory is sentimentally "humid" or moist" if, indeed, it is not "wet". Collectively considered, the answers to the questions which have to do

with commercial and financial conditions seem to indicate a qualified optimism. Moderate retail stocks and an abatement of extravagant expenditure are reported. The maturing crops are being marketed with comparative

freedom and there "is less money stringency and criticism of the Federal Reserve bank for the high interest rates current than might be inferred from much that has been printed in the newspapers." . Most of the firm's correspondents seem to think that Liberty bonds have now been permantently distributed among those who will keep them and this opinion finds confirmation in the sharp advances in government bonds that has occurred since the report was compiled. Business Revival. Opinion as to the immediate future of business seems to be evenly divide.d A majority of less than 10 per cent look for a further contraction, but from the cotton states there is reported a preponderant expectation of an early business revival. "This," Harris, Winthrop & Co. say, "is somewhat remarkable when the decline in cotton and the outcry it has caused, are considered." The answers to the four questions asked in regard to the railway situation and the attitude of the railway employes are generally satisfactory. Public acquiescence in the advance in rates is reported. The railway congestion is being relieved and it would appear that upon the whole the railway employes are satisfied with the pay they are now receiving. Harris,

Winthrop & Co. remark that theso conditions are auspicious insofar as the market for railway securities is concerned. Continued apprehension of a winter coal famine is reported by many who have answered the questionnaire. Industrial Conditions. With regard to the Industrial and social conditions seven questions were asked. Harris, Winthrop & Co. say that it is the answers to these questions that give the most concern, and add that, although it is plain that there is comparatively little unemployment and that wages are upon the whole stationary or advancing, there is continued efficiency and a far more widespread effort to promote radicalism and communism than they had been willing to believe. In answer to an inquiry as to whether the organizations known as The Industrial Workers of the World (I. W. W. The Communist Party of America The Communist Labor Party The Non-Partisan League The Socialist Labor Party The Socialist Party of America The Anarchists and the Union of 'Russian Workers were active and aggressive, the replies received indicate that nearly all of them appear to have a substantial membership in most states of the union, and that while an effort to oppose them is being made in some quarters, it is not be any means as general as those who believe that the beginnings of political evil should be resisted, ought to hope. The report, which fills 88 pages of a very handsome printed booklet, contains the names and addresses of those who have answered the questions submitted to them. It has been prepared for public distribution and Harris, Winthrop & Co. announce that they will be glad to forward a copy of it free of charge upon application by mail as long as the edition lasts.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 20. Investigation of the apparent shortage of coal for domestic consumption despite continued production at the mine will probably be undertaken by the Indiana fuel ad food commission as Its next ' step in dealing with the fuel problem in the state. Reports have been received from various sources of the inability of retail dealers to furnish coal to consumers. The commission Tuesday continued its hearings held for the benefit of operators and retail dealers who are complaining of the price fixing orders recently Issued. Protest Filing of Suit Jesse Eschbach, chairman of the commission, also made public a. letter written by the Deming and Thompson company, retail dealers of Frankfort, to R. R. Yeagley, secretary of the Indiana Retail Merchants' association, in which the Frankfort company protested against the filing of a suit in the company's name against the state commission contesting the order fixing $2.25 as the margin allowed retailers. The Frankfort company did rot authorize the filing of the suit, according to its letter. The commission also had under consideration a statement by L. W. Pennell, member of the firm of the Pen-nell-Dulin Lumber and Coal company, of Noblesville, in which Mr. Pennell declared that his company had not authorized the suit fled in the Marion circuit court against the commission's

orders and that he considered the; j

margin or u.zn iair enough in most cases. The suits of these two firms were among the 80 filed in the court here Saturday against the commission's order fixing the margin al

lowed retail dealers.

Combing Won't Rid Hair Of Dandruff

Susan B. Anthony was arrested in 1872 for voting in New York.

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. Do this tonight, and by morning most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. , You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop at once, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and never fails to do the work. Advertisement.

This Evansville Foreman Obtained Grand Relief from Severe Catarrh

Head was stopped up every morning. Throat full of phlegm, hawking and spitting all the time. Dreco, the new remedy, stopped it "Only those who suffer from that annoying disease, catarrh, can realize what it must mean to be free of it again," said Mr. John Cross, residing at 205 Olive St., Evansville, Ind., and who has for the past three years, been foreman of the Hercules Gas Engine Co. "Every morning my head would be stopped up and throat and nose full of phlegm which took a couple of hours, to clear up. There was a constant dripping into my throat which kept me clearing it all the time. "My right side was so sore and pain

ful I'd wince every time I touched it ny bowels were bound up so that I

had to be taking medicine for them all along. Rheumatic pains were in

most every joint and muscle of my body. I lost a week's time recently on account of these pains. My nerves were on edge so that I hardly knew what a good refreshing night's 6leep was like. I bad about lost all taste for food, and my liver was so clogged up that I frequently got very dirzy. "It is remarkable how this new medicine Dreco has overcome all my troubles. It .Simply flushed out my entire system, got my kidneys right, my bowels became regular, my liver is now active, never have a headache, neuralgia nor rheumatic pains. I sleep fine, eat hearty meals, nerves are steady and my catarrh troubles have passed away. I strongly urge everyone to take Dreco, for it certainly is a remedy of more than ordinary merit."-, V .
