Home Gardens and Melpolder

While John Melpolder, paid agent OF public
in this city, is writing dissertations
on the benefits Of social service bureau, the
real constructive work of re-making the social
wrecks of Richmond is being flagrantly neglected.
Melpolder cannot make poverty stricken
man independent by sitting in his office and fin
gering card index system. Field work is re-
quired.
Attention has been called to the necessity OF
utilizing every vacant lot in Richmond this year
for garden purposes The poor ought to be mo-
bilized by Melpolder and systematic plan
worked out whereby they could till the lots and
add to their, incomes by harvesting the results
of their work.
Is John Melpolder going ahead with this
work? Is he showing an interest in very prac-
tical method Of solving the problem Of poverty
Not SO that the public has heard about it.

Looking Forward
to Motherhood
Well Known Preparation Re-
lieves Much Suffering.

The greatest crisis in the life Of q
woman is when she becomes a mother.
All her physical strength is taxed to
the limit at such time. 1t is neces-
sary that she prepare her system for
the great event in order to preserve
her future health.
Thousands Of mothers have placed
safe reliance upon Mothers Friend"
This preparation is applied externally
and is composed Of special penetrat-
ing, softening oils which prepare the
muscles and tendons for the unusual
strain. Naturally the tendency is to
relieve the pain and danger at the
crisis, leaving the mother in q healthy
condition.
The expectant mother should pro.
cure a bottle of Mothers Friend
from her druggist, apply it night and
morning, and after beginning its use,
write for free book for users. Much
practical information is contained in
It. Just address Bradfeld Regulator
Company, Dept. H 205 Atlanta, Ca,

Red Tape in the Post Office

Art and Democratic postal regulations clashed
the other day, and Postmaster Beck is the victim.
Flowers inside and outside the building are
technical violation Of the postal rules. Citizens
will not see them there next summer. Mr.. Beck
beautified the grounds by spending his own mon
ey, but Uncle Sam did not approve OF the invest
ment. Just how the flowers interfered with post
office efficiency or what objections the postal
authorities have against bulbs and vines are not
made clear in the ruling. Postmaster Beck
knows now that art and politics do not mix.
