HOW COOK LIVED AS
The EsklMos LIVED

one Of the most remarkable fea-
lures Of DIR. Cooks Journey was the
winter he passed on his return FROM
the north on the south coast of Jones
sound. For many months he and his
Eskfmos kept themselves alive With
the bows and arrows and lances they
had fashioned, for they had exhausted
their ammunition. They lived in
dueout they made on the coast. Not
many years ago no Arctic explorer
had the resource to pass successfully
through such an ordeal as this. Peary
was the first to call attention to this
possibility, as he was the first to all
vocate the application to exploratory
enterprise of many of the Eskimo
methods of living and working DR..
Cook was fitted by temperament and
.physfuue to live on the country when
ne was stripped of other resources AMI
to come through it well and hearty.
He was made Of the stuff that has tit.
ted him .pre-eminently for pioneering
under the toughest conditions From

Most Hair Preparations Are Merely
scalp lrritants, of No Value.

Most hair preparations are merely
scalp irrit2nts, miscalled hair tonics.
when hair is brittle, lusterless and
begins to fall out, the dandruf germ
is getting in its deadly work at the
root, sapping the vitality. Since sci
ence discovered that dandruff is a
germ disease there has been only one
preparation put on the market that
will actually destroy the dandrun
germ, and that is Newbro's Herpicide.

About one million dollars is spent
each year in the anti-cruelty cause,
and threequarters of million ami
mails and nearly two hundred thou
sand children come under the super

IN THE COLD, GRAY DAWN.
I dreamed that l dwelt on an isle OF
cracked ice,
In the midst Of lake Of champagne
Where bloomed the mint juleps in
meadows Of green,
Amid showers of lithia rain.
I reclined on a divan OF lager beer
foam,
With a pillow Of froth for my head,
While the spray from the fountain OF
sparkling gin fizz
Descended like dew on my head.
From PARKWAY mountains Of crystal
line ice,
A zephyr refreshing and cool
Came waiting the incense of sweet
That spanked in many a pool.
My senses were cooled by the soft
purling song of a brooklet OF
pousse cafe
That rippled along over pebbles OF
snow
To a river of absinthe frappe.
Then lulled by the music of tinkfng

the deep, ...as
dreamily slipped highball or two
And languidly floated asleep,
And then / awoke on bed of rocks,
With a bolster as hard as a brick,
A wrench in my back, rack in my
head,
And a stomach detestably sick,
With sand in my eyes and grit in my
throat,
Where the taste Of last evening
still chung,
And felt a bath towel stuffed in my
mouth,
Which l afterward found was my
tongue;
And l CROPPED for the thread OF the
evening before
In a mystified maze of my brain.
Until great light burst upon me al
last,
I'm off OF the wagon again.

RICHMOND AND THE ION.

The Tenth Infantry came to Rich
nond last year at the time CT the
Fall Festival. That they enjoyed the
hospitality extended to them last year
Is certain. The letter received in re-
Fly to the invitation extended them by
the Executive Committee of the Fall
Festival asking them to come this
year was conclusive evidence that the
Tenth Infantry has warm place In
it's heart for the Panic Proof City
As we said just after the Fall Fes-
tival last year, the conduct CT the
Tenth Infantry rank and file. officers
and men, was such that they could
not but command the admiration OF
Richmond. It is commonly believed
that soldiers on the march are vicious
and to be looked upon with suspicion.
The Tenth dispelled that illusion in
great shape and did more to awaken
kindly feeling for the service and re-
spect for the army than all the patri-
otto speeches on the Fourth OF July
have done In the whole history OF the
town.
We hope the Tenth can come and
In saying this we believe that we ex-
press the sentiment OF all thnsa who

Some Death Statistics of Children

sickness ratio is 4 to l. In other
words. the children in the school age
period Of to II suffer four times as
much sickness and three times as
much death while going to school as
they do in vacation period. This is
largely because Of unsanitary school
houses and because Of our failure to
medically inspect the children. In
other words, We, the people. impose
sickness and death upon our children
because Of our ignorance, our neglect
and often because OF false notion OF
economy. 1t surely would be good
thing for us to do away with the old
disease, death dealing school houses

little debt which the living owe to the

The PALLADIUM,S FASHION
EDITION

The Palladium's Fall Fashion Edi-
ton which will be issued tomorrow
marks a milestone in newspaper en-
terprise In this part of Indiana. There
have been fashion editions before in
Richmond. And these were good.
This edition will be better-the best
so far
Fashions are as big items of news
as any other things-they play an i'm.
portant role in connection with the
long green in the pay envelope. They
are the things which make the wearer
of clothes either comfortable or un-
acknowledgement or ashamed OF
himself.
The Fall Fashion Edition which the
Palladium will issue tomorrow will
settle this disturbing element and give
the consumer the knowledge which
will protect his pocket book.
The matter of fashions is the weari-
some question. rhe Fall Fashion
number will settle this important
question tomorrow and will be a
model of newspaper efficiency and en-
| terprise
