Your Chance Against tuberculosis

Richmond is making an honest effort to fight
tuberculosis. It believes the high mortality rate
of this disease in Wayne county and in the city
can be checked. It is willing to learn how to do
it. The assurance from Surgeon General Blue in
a telegram published today that the United
States government will send a representative to
this city to make survey makes it sure that q
practical solution will be presented.
The toll of human lives gathered by the great
white plague in Indiana is appalling. Figures
given out by the Indiana Society for the Preven-
ton Of tuberculosis show that one out of every
eight and one-half Indiana persons, who have
died in the last six years, have died from tuber-
culosis Of the total number of deaths in In
diana in the last six years, 2154O2, tuberculosis
claimed 1851. This gives an average of 4,251.
Statistics issued by the society show that this
loss is greater than the deaths due to typhoid
fever, scarlet fever, smallpox. and all other con-
tagious diseases combined.
For Wayne county and the city of Richmond,

The Chance of the Orphan

That the possession of parents to guide boy
or girl to young manhood and womanhood is a
boon and privilege, nobody will deny or gainsay.
Guidance and counsel, sympathy and comfort
from parental source are blessings
And yet there are many men and women
who have attained high station and affluence
without the advice and encouragement of their
parents When death tore father and mother
from them, such persons were left to hew their
own way, and in many instances they attained
higher position than did their more fortunate
companions who had parental love and support.
An orphan is thrown on his own resources at
an early date. He is forced to rustic" for liv-
ing, obtain his education in the school of exper-
fence and by observation. Perforce his wits are
sharpened, his mental horizon widened and often
he is able to see business opportunity much
more readily than the young man who has been
sent through school and college by his father.
Self-reliance is Of the cardinal traits neces-
sary for success. The orphan has it, and he exer-
cises it to good advantage. The orphan and the
young man thrown his own resources early,
usually are the "hustling' young men in the COM
munity.

The pledge OF the last Democratic
platform that the law pertaining to
the Civil Service should be honestly
and rigidly enforced" has been openly
flouted by Postmaster General Burle-
son. Numerous violations Of the
statute. although called to the presi-
dents personal attention, have been
suffered to continue without rebuke
and are still going on today.
The chief evil against which the
civil service law was directed was the
abuse Of patronage by Congressman
1t was mainly by our senators and
representatives that the spoils of
office were distributed to the detri.
ment of the public service The law
provided that administrative places
should be filled as the result Of open
competitive examinations and that the
choice should be made from the three
who stood highest on each list as the
result Of such examinations
Lest even among these three there
might still be opportunity for Con-
gressmen to interfere Section 10 Of
the civil service law was added, in
these words
A>o Va any pei SoA
who shall apply for office or place un-
der the provisions of this act, which

there is consoling feature in the statistical
analysis, for it shows that deaths from tubercu-
losis here were less in 1914 than in 1913.
The prevalence of tuberculosis in an alarming

statistics, while the call to arms resounds the
louder urging the city and county to take drastic
action to curb the death loss from the disease

 Outside the sanitarium she handed to Quabba the gypsy headdress she had donned for her flight, and. while Quabba lurked at Il distance, she rang the bell at the door of the sanitarium and was admitted. She had doffed the cloak, for the night was warm. but donned it again.
 In her cloak with her curls about her pretty head she seemed to the super intendent simply the Miss Harding he knew as visiting the well known SO ciety leader of Richmond, Mrs Ran dolph. and whose mother was under treatment for mental trouble here

For Blair had assured him this had been the effect of sudden excitement on an old mans weakened heart. when the kind but iraseible doctor. alone with Blair in his study. had quar- reied with the younger man over the diamond from the sky.
 The impulses of youth are generous. Laying aside even his plans for his fu- ture realization of power and justifi- cation, Arthur's first thought was to employ the means he had at hand in the finding of the train robbers stolen punder. to aid Esther and his gypsy mother. bitter and cruel as the latter had been to him.
 Then he would save Stanley hall, the proud old place his prodigality had inn perled. from the hands of greedy strangers
 Whom should he employ as his trust cd agent in these matters? He thought of the taeiturn and inscrutable Tom Blake. the Richmond detective. Ar thur remembered yiyidly how, at a look from Hagar Blake had deftly aided him in escaping from the sheriff of Fairfax and the police of Richmond in the exciting encounter at Mrs. Ran dolph's ball.
 Arthur resolved to trust Blake Reaching Los Angeles with the outlaw loot. the first thing Arthur did was to wire the Richmond detective in q guarded message. He received a reply in a few hours. which read:
 Know you are all right. Will act for you in confidence Trust me fully" :"
 Then 1t was that Artht- wired ample funds and instructed Blaxe to secretly guarantee all expenses for Hagar's treatment at the sanitarium irrespee tive of what Mrs Stanley might do. for Arthur had all particulars in brief by wire from Blake.
 From Blake he also learned that Els ther was seemingly in good hands with Mrs. Stanley at Mrs Randolph's man sion in Richmond. and from the same source he learned that Stanley hall, in the due course of the bankruptcy proceedings against the missing Ar thur Stanley. was to be sold to the highest bidder
 Of the money, some hundred thou sand dollars. he had found under the skeleton of the horse in the desert Arthur placed S2o,00o by wire at the disposal Of Blake in Richmond with instructions to bid in Stanley hall at all hazards, and if more money were necessary more would be forthcoming
 He could save Stanley hall from strangers and aid Esther and his gypsy mother, both penniless and on the bounty of strangers since Hagar, in her mental infrmity from the blow that none knew Blair had dealt her. had no means of telling where her supposed wealth was hidden
 But it was bitter thought 10 Ar thur that even in this he was using means not rightfully his. As the spendthrift heir of Stanley hall he had unwittinglg been an impostor and Il cheat And nesg, even in secretly com. ing To the rescue to save Stanley hall from strangers or to aid Esther and Hagar, he was using stolen money An awakening to higher ideals had come 10 Arthur, and these reflections were bitter ones. He hoped good might come out of evil and resolved to make every effort to found his own fortune and refund with interest
 With Esther the impulses of her fair young womanhood were more than generous; they were loving and self sacrificing. She knew she was right
