CAREFUL DOCTOR
Prescribed Change of Food Instead Of
Drugs.

It takes considerable courage for a
doctor to deliberately prescribe only
food for a despairing patient. instead
Of resorting to the usual list Of medi-
cines.
There are some truly scientific ply
sicians among the present generation
who recognize and treat conditions as
they are and should be treated. re-

Here's an instance:

WILL HONOR HooslER POET.
SIx-Day Celebration Of James Whit
comb RiIey's Birthday.


Indianapolis, Ind.-During the Sec
ond week Of October, James Whitcomb
Riley, the beloved Hoosier poet, will
be the center of the greatest ovation
ever rendered an American writer. Octo-
ber Z. is the poets birthday. but owing
to the fact that the celebration in his
honor will be OF such proportions that
1t will be impossible to confine 1t to
one day, 1t has been decided I'd extend
1t over a period OF six days, beginning
Monday, October Z, and ending Sntur-
day. October 12. Indianapolis. Mr,
Riley's home town, has taken the lead
in this event, but the movement has
spread like wildfire and 1t is doubtful
whether there is city or town in the
United States which will not have one
or more events scheduled in honor Of
the poet who through the medium of
his vcrces has struck a responsive
chord in every breast and has sue
cecded in bringing poetry home to the
people.
Riley programs have long been pop
ular with literary clubs and during
Riley week these programs will take
on an added interest. Mr.. Riley IL
widely known for his love of children.
Like his great predecessor, Longfel-
low, he has been able to fathom the
beauties OF the child nature better
than most men, and many of his best
poems have been written for. or about.
children. For this reason "Riley
Week" will be generally observed in
schools with special exercises.
Mr.. Riley is now enjoying excellent
health. The paralysis which manifest
ed itself in his right arm little more
than a year ago is rapidly disappear
ing and he says he feels as we'll as
ever he did in his life. Every day he
takes long ride about Indianapolis
and the surrounding country in his
big touring car and he is known as an
enthusiastic motorist. He is always
happy and is usually surrounded by
group of close friends.
There is no more popular man in Ip-
dianapolis than James Whitcomb RI
ley, and this popularity does not come
merely from the fact that he is
world figure. He was popular long be-
fore he was famous and when in his
presence one forgets the fact that he
is the greatest American poet. He IL
Just q man, simple, unassuming, lik-
able. His fellow townsmen have al
ways taken pride in doing him honor,
and that pride will be greater than
ever during the celebration Of Riley
