EARLY CITY
HISTORY
Contributions on the pioneer
days Of Richmond viii ap-
pear in this column daily.

Persons riding from here to Indiana
polls on the fast trains or interurbans
do not have an idea Of how tedious
was the trip fifty years ago. remarked
one of the city's old men the other day
Il remember" he continued, "how
the trains came into Richmond
many years ago over tracks that were
nothing but strips of iron nailed down
to beams. Often the strips would tear
away from the spikes that held them
to the ties and If the engineer did not
stop the train q wreck would ocur. l re.
member coming home from Indianapo-
lis one day when our train hit flock
of sheep on the big grade at Jackson's
hill. We did not make the time then
that is made nowadays, but before the
engineer stopped his train he had
plowed through the herd. Wool
got into parts Of the engine and we
were delayed for many hours before
we could proceed" u

How to Fight tuberculosis

In a paper read last year before the
eexar County Medical Society and
published In part in the Louisville
"Medieai Progress" Dr.. ). W. carhart,
Of San Antonio, Texas, q physician
who has devoted much time to the
study Of tuberculosis said: "Since
lime salts constitute three.fourths Of
all the mineral substances Of the hu.
man body, they must be supplied in
the foods or supplemented In mineral
preparations, or natural starvation en-
sues with tuberculosis unchecked.
The widespread and unchecked spread
Of tuberculosis and other preventabie
diseases 10 due largely to the decaIci-
fled Cline lacking) conditions Of multi
tudes throughout the civilized world"
Thus from another authoritative
medical source comes justification for
the use of lime in the treatment c
tuberculosis.
Since this is one of the ingredients
of Eckman's Alternative, much of the
success attending the widespread use
of this remedy doubtless is due to the
combination of this salt in such way
as to render it easily assimilable. 1t
causes no stomach disturbance, and
since it contains neither opiates, mar
cotics nor habit-forming drugs, 1t is
safe to try.
Eckman's Alternative has effected re-
markable results in numerous cases Of
pulmonary tuberculosis (consumption)
and allied chronic affections Of the
throat and bronchial passages. In
many instances such conditions, ap-
parently. have yielded completely to it..
In case your druggist is out of it.,
ask him to order, or send direct to us.

Types in the Crowd

DRIFTERS-The course Of many man is
one of drifting, drifting, drifting. He drifts
through school; he drifts into an apprenticeship
or into college; he drifts into profession, trade
clerical position he drifts into evil association,
police court and penitentary; he drifts into mar
riage and into the divorce court; he drifts into
sickness and into the hospital; he drifts into a
good position; he drifts on and on into old age,
and in his dotage wonders how the river of life
left him stranded on barren sandbar
A drifter has neither initiative nor enterprise,
pluck nor ambition. He cannot stem the eddies
of knocks and rebuffs, nor breast the currents of
adversely and misfortune. He is human log, a
piece of human driftwood, ultimately to be cast
upon the shore of life, unfit for lumber or even
firewood
It takes definite aim and avowed purpose to
push up the stream of life. Driftwood is dead,
but logs fashioned into steamship conquer cur
rent and eddy. A human drifter is dead, but
human timber, vitalized by high resolve and de-
termination, conquers obstacles and sails into the
port of fame and renown. ..--..

ing. They are not coming before the school
board and the city council as mendicants. It is a
straight forward business proposition which they
are presenting. The proposed system calls for its
payments by the teachers, and only after years
perhaps will the taxpayers be called on to pay
part Of the fund. This possibility is SO remote
that the teachers are willing to bring an actuary
to this city to prove their contention.
The teachers will have to pay the bill. They
are not objecting to it. It is form Of insurance
in which the burden falls on the beneficiaries.
The teachers have not engaged an attorney to
fight their cause. They believe the justice of
their contention will merit the adoption of the
system. They cite innumerable cities in Indiana
and other states that have adopted the plan.
A teacher is q public servant. Work which
parents cannot do has devolved upon them. They
are forced to worry along many hours with
scores of children They are compelled to bear
with complacency the mischief and tricks of
young America. Any mother of this city who
has two children knows how tired she is when
the day is over. Multiply two by twenty, and
increase the cares and worries in the same ratio,
and you will have an idea of what teacher has
to suffer in nervous expenditure each day. For
right that the school board vote the adoption of
the insurance which the teachers are asking.
In order to protect our school system we must
either pay living wage to teachers or provide an
insurance system.

The Worth of a Teacher.

The permanence Of republican form OF gov
eminent depends upon the intelligence OF the
masses Education is the foundation OF Democ-
racy Without good schooling for the masses,
politics become corrupt, the spokesman easily as
sumes legislative control, and in the course OF
time, republican principles of government are
superseded by the reign of the demagogue and Ill
timately the king and emperor.
The thirteen colonies were able to mus
ter up enough courage to throw off British doml-
nance because the men and women who settled
along the Atlantic seaboard were possessed of in
telligence and were thinkers Their children
were educated. Their leaders read and thought.
The growth of the United States in great meas
ure is due to its public schools, ~
The education of the child is of paramount
importance in the United States. Trained men
and women patriotic men and women, self-sacri-
ficing men and women are necessary if the school
system is to go forward. The best blood Of the
country must be enlisted for our public schools.
Mediocrity in the school system will result in the
development Of boys and girls deficient in mental
training and deficient in patriotic impulses.
The man or woman who enters the profession
of teaching does not have an easy course to tread
Teaching is work that makes inroads on mental
and physical strength. A teacher brings public
sacrifice when she enters the profession. Her pay
is comparatively small her duties tremendously
great her future alarmingly circumscribed. The
profession seldom offers pay sufficient to enable
teacher after years of work in the public SER
vice to retire and face the last days without mon
etary worry.
In order that capable men and women may be
induced to stay in the profession many cities,
keenly alive to the necessity of good teaching
forces, have adopted an insurance system, some
times called pension fund, offering to old teach
ers in return for money which they have paid in
the form of premiums insurance in old age. The
teachers of this city ask the adoption of such a
system here.
The teachers do not want something for moth
