Useless Laws
When the general assembly adjourns after a session of 60 -days, another quota of laws will have been added to the statute books of Indiana. Some of the acts will be progressive measures to
promote the welfare of the state; others will be of less merit; some might just as well not have been written. , ' The statute books of the state now are burdened with hundreds of laws that either are dead, seldom invoked, or are not enforced. Their presence on the law books impedes rather than aids law enforcement. If the last legislature had appointed a committee to select a number of inoperative laws and to recommend their repeal at this session, the state would be better off. The vast majority of persons believes that we do not need more laws buj; better laws. If the
present session of the legislature enacts laws of major proportion that will have a state-wide in
fluence,, it will be fulfilling a wish of the people
The Prevention of Railroad Strikes The recent action of the Pennsylvania railroad in entering into an agreement with the trainmen for the prevention of strikes is another indication of the progressive methods of that system. Its officials realize that the third party to every strike the public usually pays the price for an interruption of traffic. ' The agreement between the railroad and its workers, in this instance, shows also that both
of them have learned that there are two sides to
every controversy, which can best be explained and settled in conference. Every strike of the past has been settled around a conference table, anyway. Why interrupt traffic, curtail the earning power of the workers, diminish the return on the invested capital, stir up animosity and strife, if the issue will lend itself to an amicable settlement by peaceful methods? ' The strike-is anachronism that should not be tolerated in modern industrial relations. The
worker is enlightened enough and the employer
progressive enough to know nowadays that mutual goodwill and appreciation of the other man's position bring greater returns than does a system that breeds distrust and is constantly seeking to impugn motives. The step which the employes and the officials of the Pennsylvania railroad have taken looks toward the elimination of. strikes and their dis
orders. Both are to be congratulated for their
action.
Action on the Home Rule Measure
The general assembly will begin its deliberations within a few days. One of the first bills to be introduced in both houses is the. home rule bill, which will give to Indiana cities the right to choose their own form of government. Public sentiment in many Indiana cities has been aroused in favor of the measure. Home rule is not an untried and untested theory, but is working efficaciously in many municipalities. Its best recommendation is the testimony of the cities where it is in operation. None wants a return of the old system under which Indiana cities are handicapped today. The success of the departure has appealed to the Hoosier communities where poor city administration, expensive and wasteful, has disgusted taxpayers and provoked them into demanding municipal reform. " Richmond is prepared to wage a hard fight for the adoption of the bill. Its civic organizati6ns will send representatives to the legislature to show how widespread is the demand here for the passage of the bill. They will go fortified with facts that should appeal both to the committee to which the bill will be referred and to the legislators who finally will vote on the measure, provided that it is not strangled or chloroformed in the committee. It seems safe to predict that the measure will at least be reported to the floor of the house arid of the senate. Seven years ago a home rule bill, after a number of public hearings, was quietly put to death by the committee. This year public sentiment will not permit such ruthless action. After the measure is before the general assembly it will not be a difficult matter to obtain a vote on it. In the meantime the attitude of the majority will be known, and the men who are opposing it will be made to feel the power of public opinion. Indiana cities have a good chance to obtain home rule this year if they let their legislators know their sentiment.

It's snug and cozy and nice and warm. Forty-seven riders on the back platform. Then your hose is jammed In a lady's hat; And they all are knocking just because you're fat. Twenty-seven men walking on your feet, And ninety-eight more get on at Fourteenth street. . You come up twice and you sasp for air, And your train goes squeaking on to any old where. You figure that the crowd will soon be gone, But three get off and forty-six get on. Then you hurry along, six miles an hour, While the way is gloomy and the air is sour. Rattle and jangle and buckle and bang. It's all familiar music to the rush hour gang. "Seventy-second!" the guard has reared ; And three hundred more try to get ,- aboard.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can", "Take It", "Up". WHAT A CHANCE Every time I go into a free library and see the hundreds of men and women, young and old, reading at the desks, I say to myself: "What a chance!" And I never am freed of this thought, no matter where I go. It seems as though there are so many things to do and so few with the grasp and vision to take up the big and important tasks that call so loudly for helpers. With the improvements in modern appliances and with the advent every day, it seems, of new and more perfected means for travel and living, the drone and complalner should be hopelessly in the minority. What a chance a man or woman has these days! Knowledge Is so free. You can fairly pick it up on the streets. And yet there will always be "new worlds to conquer". Ask Mr. Edison! The biggest task a man has to do these days is to think. And then he has the privilege of going to scores of books where many of his ideas have been already worked out through experiments. All he has to do is to take fresh steps and go farther than the one before him. What a chance! I come to my library day after day and every time I feel what a chance I have. Hundreds of men have come in covered volumes totell me about what they saw and felt in the world. And the product of years of training and toil, and of great privation is pictured in the masterpieces of beauty that hang on my library walls. What a chance, we who have been highly favored, have. Let us do all that we can to help those who are more meagerly cared for by fortune, to find and see their chance.

.The Stone family was in dire distress, and times were even harder than the family patronymic, end little Johnnie was getting tired of it. Principally he was suffering with a surfeit of bread and dripping. One day he rebelled openly. ,'I don't want dripping," he sobbed, "if want butter." ?'Be thankful for what - you get." cried his mother. "Dripping will do yqu more good." He lay by the roadside, groaning and writhing with pain. A policeman came up and asked him what was the matter. "I ate one," moaned the sufferer.

The policeman was puzzled at first but quickly grasped the situation. "Poison!" he muttered. All poisons have antidotes. Therefore, it was necessary to discover which poison the sufferer had taken in order to administer the right antidote. "Well, what did you eat?" gently inquired the constable. "You blithering ass," retorted the sufferer, "I didn't eat anything!" "The why did you say 'I ate one'?" "Because 1-81 is the number of the motor that knocked me down, you idiot!" yelled the victim.
Rippling Rhymes
1 By WALT MASON
THE PEPTIMIST The peptimist is one who works with most exceeding vim, and sets example to the shirks who may keep tab on him. So many men, w ith dragging feet, go to their tasks each day; with frowns they shuck the ears of wheat and thrash the bales of hay. With scowls they ply the shining saw or wield the useful churn; they're only happy when they draw the pay they think they earn. And when there is a slump in trade, and workmen must be fired, these delegates are first to fade they've, made the bosses tired. The peptimist has taken pride in labors safe and sane, whateer tool he may have plied, a corkscrew or a plane. He did not go with dragging step when morning whistles blew; in every motion there was pep, no sulky fits he threw. And when a slump in trade appears, and workmen are laid off, the boss announces, through hi3 tears. "Well keep this hustling toff. We can't afford to let him go. he's such a useful man; well keep him, though to Tom and Joe we must attach the
can." The peptimist is in demand wherever commerce dwells; he makes his progress through the land, and wears his string of beils.
Since taking Dreco, the rheumatism has been entirely relieved "I could always tell when we were going to have a bad spell of weather by the way my rheumatic joints and muscles acted' said Mr. E. M.

If You Need a Medicine You Should Have the Best
Have you ever stopped to reason why It is that so many products that are extensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason is plain the article did not fulfill the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited, to those who are in need of it. A prominent druggist says "Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent results, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has so large a sale." According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact, so many people claim, that it fulfills almost every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments, corrects- urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism. You may receive a sample bottle of Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., and enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

Hundreds of Local People Enroll in "Safety-First" Movement Sweeping City Remembering Trutona's Amazing Reconstructive Powers in Overcoming After-Effects of "Flu" and Pneumonia Last Year, Scores Are Now Using Famous Tonic, Building Up Systems to -Ward Off Attacks of Dreaded Diseases.
THERE'S a "Safety First" movement sweeping Richmond. In It are enrolled hundreds of local people and the number is ever Increasing who realize that there are things other than accidents which should be regarded with a Safety-First attitude. These far-seeing Richmond people know that disease exacts a heavier toll, many times over, than do accidents. Remembering how Trutona proved its remarkable reconstructive merits by overcoming after-effects of influenza and pneumonia In hundreds of local cases last year, countless Richmond residents are now taking this famous tonic but this time taking Trutona FIRST building up their systems to ward off attacks of these dreaded winter ills. The following quotations, taken from statements of residents of various parts of Indiana, show why so many Richmond residents have adopted the use of this great tonic as the surest safeguard of all against the ravaging diseases of winter:
"An attack of influenza left me In a very weakened and rundown condition but it was plainly evident that I quickly gained a lot of new strength and vigor through use of Trutona," says Mrs. Ida Rinehart, 1303 East Michigan street, Evansville. "Trutona made me feel like a different woman, regardless of the fact that my system had been rundown for several months," says Mrs. Paul Vitelow, 620 Walnut street, Evansville. "I suffered from a severe cough having influenza, but it vanished as if by magic after I started using Trutona and I can say that this medicine has helped me more than all others combined," says W. E. Byrns, a prominent Muncie man who lives at 519 West Tenth street. "Trutona made me feel better in every respect and did this after my system had become very weakened and rundown as a result of an influ
enza attack," says Edna H. Cook, 414 West Seventh street. "Every bone In my body ached after I had the flu' and pneumonia and it's almost unbelievable, the relief Trutona's given me," says T. F. Meedy, 925 Stilwell street, Indianapolis. "Trutona's proved to be the only medicine that would reach my case, and has made me feel like a new woman in every respect," says Mrs. J. W. Buskirk, a prominent and wellknown Indianapolis woman of 2702 Ethel avenue. "I was sick In bed with la grippe, when 1 began using Trutona, but I feel stronger all over and, in fact, have regained my health, since using this medicine," says W. H. DuVall, 835 North Third street, Terre Haute. "Trutona relieved me of the dizzy spells, headaches, constipation and pains in my stomach, which I had suffered from ever since having the 'flu'," declares Mrs. Ella Brewer, 424 Vorhees street, Terre Haute.
Trutona will build up YOUR system to ward off attacks of pneumonia and influenza, just aa efficiently as it built up the systems of the above-mentioned people after they had become weakened and rundown as a result of the ravages of the diseases, so why wait until you've had the 'flu', 'pneumonia or even a severe cough before taking Trutona? Why not take Trutona, FIRST as hundreds of your fellow residents are now doing? Trutona is sold in Richmond at Clem Thistlethwaite's Drug Stores and in surrounding cities and towns by all good druggists. Advertisement
NOT THE ONLY ONE
There Are Other Richmond Peopl Similarly Situated. Can there be any stronger proof offered than the evidence of Richmond residents? After you have read the following, quietly answer the question. William Cooper, 414 South Eleventh street, Richmond, gave the following statement: "My back was weak and lame and ached a great deal. I have used Doan's Kidney Pills when these spells have become severe and have never failed to get relief in a short time. I believe Doan's will help any kidney sufferer If used right and I advise anyone who has this trouble to get Doan's Kidney Pills at Thistlethwaite's Drug Store." OVER TWO YEARS LATER, Mr. Cooper added: "I know that Doan's Kidney Pills will do good work when the kidneys are out of order. They never fail to help me when my kidneys give me the least trouble." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Cooper had. Foster-MIlburn Co..
