may be found in the Social Service Bureau. John
Melpolder long ago did his work as an organizer.
Because he is temperamentally unable to do con-
structive social service work the bureau is now
at standstill. Little uplift work has character
lied the career Of the bureau in the last year.
The community also is aware of this weak
ness. It takes the position of the Russell Sage
Foundation that constructive work must follow
the granting of relief. Melpolder's ability as a
social service worker ends just as soon as he
tries to make poor family financially independ-

cant should have in the secretary
His remark that many people were imposed
upon by the unworthy poor ten years ago and
also in the year before he assumed his work
here is true. But it proves nothing. If the poor
will be with us always, we must be prepared al
ways to find percentage of unscrupulous per-
sons among the poor.
If Melpolder has eliminated the charity graft
ers, it is point in his favor, for which we gladly
give him credit. But the purpose of the Bureau
is much greater than to weed out grafters. Mel
polder has not been able to carry out the greater
aims of the organization

Won Hindenburg's Retreat

The retreat of the Germans on the western
front is still puzzle to the tacticians Of the
Allies. Won Hindenburg has succeeded in cloak
ing his withdrawal, leaving it's purpose matter
of conjecture.
The retreat is not rout. The Allies are TAX
ing few prisoners and little booty, only those
stores which the Germans are leaving for the
few troops that are fighting rear guard actions.
Consequently, the British cannot boast of big
victory.
The suggestion is offered that the Allies
have made excellent plans Of the old lines of the
Germans and that Won Hindenburg has with
drawn his men to spoil the effectiveness of the
British artillery against positions with which the
allies were acquainted. Won Hindenburg is fore
ing the Allies to bring up their artillery to new
positions and to renew the work of ascertaining
the strength and position of the new lines. Or
in other words the Allies have won only useless
ground.
Another explanation is that Won Hindenburg
wants to shorten his lines on the west so that he
will have more troops on the eastern line This
will enable him to release Turkish troops that
have been fighting in the north. The Turks
need all their men in the southern zone where
Great Britain is making advances about Bagdad.

To the Editor of Richmond Palladium:

To the Editor of Richmond Palladium: :
Sir: Growing out of the discussion
at recent meeting between the county
superintendent Of schools, Mr.. Will.
Jams, the trustee and advisory board of
Wayne school township, and under
signed, in considering needs of Wayne
township in new bulldogs, and petition
for establishment Of vocational school
in the township, it was determined to
submit for consideration of county
board Of education, and the several
school corporations of the county, a
plan as afterwards outlined, not that
such plan should be final, but that
same may be available as a basis of
discussion.
1t is presumed that all will admit the
necessity Of vocational training;
that all will admit that within
the city of Richmond should be
located the branch providing for "in.
dustrial education" as from within
such city would the school Though
available to any one in the county,
receive its larger attendance; and that
all will admit that vocational instruct
ion If undertaken at all, should be upon
such scale that the expenses of in
vestment and fixed charges will be
such, as not to entail hardship upon
the various school corporations, result.

or previous refusal to join the move

In consideration Of the suggestion

Corrupt Practices

The board of public works is on the right
track in demanding that the Andrews Asphalt
company explain its tactics among property own
ers of North F street. If the company cannot OBJ
tain contracts by methods that are fair and hon.
est, it ought to cease trying to work in Rich
mond.
One need not to be versed deeply in city af-
fairs to know that an asphalt pavement for
North street would be wanton waste of pub
lie money. The street parallels the Pennsylvania
tracks to the north and is used almost exclusive
ly for heavy hauling. Asphalt could not stand
the heavy traffic to which it would be subjected.
President Bavis of the board of public works
in the hearing Monday said he had heard before
this that the Andrews company was active in
influencing resident property owners to vote for
asphalt instead of brick or concrete.
One street in West Richmond, which is a
heavy artery of traffic connecting factory dis
tricts with the transportation depots, has been
covered with asphalt. Brick or concrete should
have been placed there. Rumors about unfair
methods used to obtain that contract have been
circulating in the City Hail. according to Presi-
dent Bavis.
The investigation ordered on the North F
street improvement by the board Of public works
should be taken as warning by contractors in
Richmond and Wayne county. This community
will not tolerate tactics that are not above board
and clean. Public improvements for which the
city and county taxpayers put up the money must
be free from all taint of corruption.

New York, y. Y.--lt is conservative
ly estimated that over three million
people annually in this country alone
are taking Nuxated Iron. Such aston
ishing results have been reported from
its use both by doctors and laymen,
that number of physicians in various
parts of the country have been asked
to explain why they prescribe it so
extensively, and why 1t apparently
produces SO much better results than
were obtained from the old form of
inorganic iron.
Extracts from some of the letters re-
ceived are given below:
DR.. King, New York physician
and author says: There can be no
vigorous iron men without iron. Pallor
means anaemia, Anaemia means iron
deficiency. The skin of anaemic men
and women is pale. The flesh flabby
The muscles lack tone, the brain fags
and the memory fails and they often
become weak, nervous. irritable, de.
spondent and melancholy. When the
iron goes from the blood Of women,
the roses go from their cheeks.
In the most common foods of Ameri-
ca, the starches, sugars, table syrups
candies, polished rice, white bread
soda crackers, biscuits, macaroni
spaghetti, tapioca, sago, farina, de
germinated corn-mean. no longer is
iron to be found. Refining processes
have removed the iron of Mother
Earth from these impoverished foods
and silly methods of home cookery, by
throwing down the waste-pipe the
water in which our vegetables are
cooked is responsible for another
grave iron loss.
Therefore, if you wish to preserve
your youthful vim and vigor to ripe
old age, you must supply the iron de
ficiency in your food by using some
form of organic iron. just as you would
use salt when your food has not
enough salt.

who has studied widely in both thii
country and in prominent European
Medical Institutions says: "As have
