Vclub, which 'the Social Service ' Bureau conducts,
is; only one of. -thV many meritorious features of its wori but it proves conclusively that the bu-
hreau believes if the prevention of poverty.
By striking, at one of the contributory causes oi poverty the improvidence of some and their failure to learn how to save it prevents their appeals fpicharity,' , -t , ' 1 No one wants to be poor. But some are indigent because they cannot help it. Many, who are in this class were-not taught the value of systematic saving and so are unacquainted with the bdsic factor in establishing financial independence, namely, the ability to lay aside regularly a certain portion of their income. They were taught many things at schools, but this lesson was not taught there or under the parental roof. They cannot be censured severely,' for partly they are not at fault. The plan" of the Social Service Bureau sup
plies this deficiency. It teaches them how to
save. After they have accumulated a small sum of money they begin to see the value of refraining from spending everything that they earn, oftenfor useless and unnecessary things. When the habit of thrift is .established, they no longer fear the wolf at the door. One case is a fine example." A man, who had been assisted periodically by the township trustees, was induced to test out the savings club by making a small deposit. He became so completely wed to the plan that now he not only refrains from calling on the trustees for aid, but also is paying for a 'house which Jie has purchased. . " "' ,v- : The bureau certainly is fulfilling its mission in; a most excellent fashion. It is remaking men and women. Instead of being a negative agency for good in this community, it is a positive means f of the eradication of poverty by the substitution of; thrift. Reports of this kindemanating from this bureau, are happy events to chronicle. They show that we are teaching the unfortunates ones of our" community to help themselves and to exalt themselves by their own efforts out of a pitiful condition. This is constructive work that makes real men and real women, who become real citizens., Their children, seeing the change that has
been accomplished in their homes by right living

son. They will carry on where their parents quit. " The reclamation of human life is more important than reclamation of waste land. Every person that is saved from the state of dependency and placed on the plane of self-supporting independence is an addition to both the moral and' financial assets of the nation. A liability to the community becomes an asset by the way of thrift, y The bureau describes the functions of the savings department thus: "While it is simply a savings bank, it reverses the general order of things by taking the bank to the depositors instead of having the depositors seek the bank. A representative of the bureau goes to the homes of these people and collects any amount they want to save and deposits it for them. The individual accounts are kept in the office of the bureau.- The majority. of the depositors save only small amounts, but they are getting the habit of saving and realize the importance of doing so. Through this branch of the bureau's work several families who formerly depended on township aid have acquired the thrift habit and are now self-supporting. The committee which has the direction of this work is planning to extend its service to a larger number of families during the coming year."
A prospectus of the bureau, recently prepared, has been put into the mails. Several paragraphs of the statements should be engraved on the minds of all of us so that their importance would be with us always. "It is not a hard task to give a man some-( thing material," says the prospectus. "But to give something of material service, that will not only relieve his immediate distress hut will have a wholesome and permanent effect on the home in which he lives, the place where he is employed, the school which his children attend, in short, to give the service which will promote the physical, moral, social and spiritual welfare of the man, his family and the community, is no easy job. "One member of the community cannot be helped as a lone individual, because 'No man liveth unto himself.' We are all living together, consequently we must all think together and work together. The job is a big one and involves individual appreciation, community understanding and harmonious team work. "We do not think that the good citizens of Richmond are indifferent, but we know that the large majority are ignorant of the conditions which make our job so hard sickness, death of the breadwinner of the. family, old age, accidents, inefficiency, low mentality, immorality, bad housing, poor housekeeping, extravagance, family misunderstandings, indifferent and ignorant parents, wayward boys and girls conditions which confront our daily workers."
Mrs. Q. E. K. (1) Who write -Car-few Must Not Ring Tonight? Rose H. Tharpe. (2) Who wrote "Black Sellm"? We can find no record of the poem. Perhaps some reader of the column can help. , Reader What was the origin of the expression, "Old as Dick's Hatband"? It is a satirical reference used in comparisons such as queer as, fine as, tight as Dick's hatband. The allusion is to the authority conferred upon Richard (Dick) Cromwell as Lord Protector of England in succession to his father, for which place he was notoriously unfit. He held the Job but a few months. Enquire! How old is chess? It Is an ancient game of Eastern origin, probably brought into Europe by the Arabs. The invention is doubtfully ascribed to China, Persia and Egypt. The origin of the game of checkers is unknown, but some authorities call it a modern game. However, It was known in the Sixteenth century. Readers may obtain answer to questions by writing the Palladium Questions and Answers department. All question should be written plainly and briefly. Answers will be riven briefly.

The girl's lips quivered and her breath came in labored gasps. But she did not speak. , "Do you love me?" pleaded the young man. "I I don't know," was the answer. Gently he insinuated his arm around her neck. "Darling, would you like me to ask your mother first?" With a sudden cry of terror she grasped him by the arm. "No, no," she shrieked convulsively:

A large crowd had halted and all were looking up at a fourth-story window. The lower sash was open and a child leaned far out over the sill, trying to catch a sparrow. Exclamations of horror broke out as the infant reached further and further over the sill. At length a woman spectator cried out: "What idiots you men are! Why don't you go and tell the child's mother " Three or four started, but they had not crossed the street before the child lost its balance and pitched out head first. There was a shriek, which was suddenly checked, as the child stopped short in his headlong drop and hung squalling two feet below the window, with a stout cord tied round his waist. His howls brought a woman to the window. She pulled him. up into his room again and then shouted to the gasping crowd below: "Think I don't know my business, er? Well, I just do; and you can move on, please!"
NOVEMBER VINDS. November winds are harshly brawling about my shack, the long night through; and in my bed I hear them squalling around the window and the flue. I hear them hammer at the sashes, I hear them spring the ancient wheeze: "Stoke up your fire, shake down the ashes, or all the hanging plants will freeze!" November's voice is wild and raucous, the genial zest of life it kills, and all night long it seems to mock us, with the hints of coming plumbers' bills. By day we hear November shrieking, and bear up well beneath our cross, although we know that autumn's sneaking, and winter comes, a total loss. By day we have our toils and troubles to occupy our divers minds; we saw our wood and blow our bubbles, and give small heed to wailing winds. But in the nigh, with darkness round us, and ghost seps creaking on the stair, the wild wind seems to hunt and hound us, and fill our bosoms, with despair. There's nothing speaks more poignant sorrow than bleak November's voice at night; and so we lie and wish the morrow would come and bring its helpful light.

200 Cities in V. S. Use City Manager Government One of the new professions in the United States is that of the city manager. In Germany the control of the municipal business has long been in the hands of trained men who make a life career of their expert and specialized work. The number of American cities that have adopted a similar plan is increasing and has reached a total of nearly two hundred. A recent newspaper item recorded the fact that Ossian A. Carr has taken office as city manager of Dubuque, la., at a salary of $700 a month. The highest paid city manager in the United States is said to be Charles E. Ashburner of Norfolk, Va., who gets $12,000 a year not at all too large a salary for such a post one would think, at the present scale of prices. Mr. Ashburner has had twelve years' experience in his profession, having begun his career in 1908 as manager of Staunton, Va., a town otherwise celebrated es the birthplace of Woodrow Wilson.

To Get Rid of Wrinkles and Bad Complexions
Most cosmetics clog the pores. In cool weather, when one does not perspire freely, this interferes greatly witlrelimination of waste material, injuring instead of aiding the complexion. Ordinary mercolized wax serves all the purposes of creams, powders and rouges, giving far better results. It actually peels off an offensive skin, at the same time unclogging the pores. Minute particles cf scarf skin come off day by day, causing not the least discomfort. Gradually the healthy, younger skin beneath peeps out, and in less than a fortnight you have a lovelier complexion than you ever
dreamed of acquiring. Mercolized j wax, obtainable at any drug store, is spread on nightly like cold cream and i washed off mornings. One ounce usually suffices.
For removing wrinkles, without stopping the pores with pasty stuff, here's a never-failing formula: One ounce powdered saxolite, dissolved in one-half pint witch hazed. Use as a wash lotion. Every line will quickly disappear. Advertisement.

"SIMPLY GETTING
ALONG FINE NOW
Richmond Man Was Badly Rundown and Very Nervous Tells how Dreco Built His Body and Health. Mr. Robert Cressman, living at 41 Wets Sixth street, Richmond, Ind., has a message for every man and woman who suffers from stomach disorders, nervousness, constipation, dizzy spells, and general run-down condition of the system. It is interesting reading Here it is: "Stomach trouble was undoubtedly the cause of my suffering. I suffered al 1th e pains of indigestion, after every meal. I also was constipated and had bad dizzy spells. I couldn't sleep at night and was always very nervous. Of course I became greatly rundown and things looked pretty black for me, but I heard so many people speak highly of the new herb remedy, Dreco,
and saw so much about it in the I newsappers, that I decided to give it ! a trial. I took just one bottle of Dre- j co. and it did wonders for me. I have ! never seen it's equal. One doso of i it buoyed me up wonderfully; I am J taking it right along, and am simply !
getting along fine now. You can add my recommendaion to the hnudreds of others." Dreco has time and time again prov
edits worth in all human ailments, : which had hteir inception in the di- j gestive tract. It seems to be just the I right thing for such ailments as indi- j gestion. gastritis, dyspepsia, bilious- j ness, constipation, sleeplessness, head- j aches, rheumatism and similar ills i Dreco is not a new fangled patented ! medicine. It is simply a combination of roots and herbs put up according ! to an old fashioned recipe in a modern j scientific way. It contains no danger- ; ous mineral salts, or acids, and is safe j and sure in its action. Dreco is now on sale by all good i druggists and is highly recommended in Richmond by Thistlethwaite's sevei; j drug stores. Advertisement.
