father who out of sheer laziness permits
his wife and children to suffer for food and
clothing deserves punishment. No man need to
be out of work in Richmond. Factories cannot
obtain enough men. Their owners complain that
employers in other cities send agents to Rich

The man who starves his children while fac

punishment cannot be devised whereby the cul-
prit would be forced to do double work while his
family would enjoy twice the comforts it ordi-

How Fires Increase the High Cost of Living
Every time fire destroys building valuable

restore the wood metal, paint and oil that en-
tered into the construction of the structure.
Not only is the building material total loss
but the contents also must be added to the SUBJ
stances that never can be reclaimed.
A fire in warehouse may destroy enough
foodstuffs to support small army Of people for
a wear. When 100000 bushels of corn and
1000 bushels of oats were destroyed in re-
cent blaze in an Illinois elevator, foodstutfs TO
that amount were wiped out. Multiply this Incl
dent by similar incidents, and you readily will
asree that the fire loss helps to increase the high
cost Of living:
The Actuarial Bureau Of the National Board
Of Fire Underwriters estimates that there is one
fire every minute Of the year, entailing daily
destruction of about 100000.
This sum of money is an economic drain for
which every consumer is forced to pay. It enters
directly into the increased price we pay for food
stuffs, because the daily loss of 100000 includes
not only the buildings, but also their contents

The Automatic Phone in Indianapolis.

Indianapolis is preening itself on the install
lation of the automatic telephone system. News
papers are printing pictures showing city and
state officials using the new instrument and are
carrying long articles describing what they con-
slider an innovation.
It is seldom that small Indiana city enjoys
public utility many years before the metropo-
lis does, but this holds true of the automatic
telephone which has been in service here for
many years.
Residents of the Quaker city are reading
with pleasure the publicity attending the install
lation of the service in Indianapolis. For once

while their sophisticated "city cousins" unfath-

We hope that when we visit the "city folks"
they will not try to initiate into the workings
of the "new-fangled" phone. For once, we have
been ahead of them.

Ten Reasons Why
You Should Send For Brooks
Rupture Appliance

'SPsS'S SfPi0uSS
/. 1t is absolutely the only Appli-
ance Of the kind on the market today.
and in 1t are embodied the principles
that inventors have sought after for
years.
2. The Appliance for retaining the
rupture cannot be thrown out of posi-
ton. -~- ~.--... ---
5. Being an air cushion of soft rub
Der it clings closely to the body, yet
never blisters or causes irritation.
4. Unlike the ordinary so-called
pads, used in other trusses, it is not
cumbersome or ungainly
5. 1t is small. soft and pliable, and
positively cannot be detected through
the clothing
6. The soft, pliable bands holding
the Appliance do not give one the un-
pleasant sensation Of wearing a har-
ness.
7. There is nothing about It to get
foul, and when it becomes soiled it
can be washed without injuring it In
the least.
s. There are no metal springs in
the Appliance to torture one by cut
ting and bruising the flesh.
g. All OF the material Of which the
Appliances are made is of the very
best that money can buy, making it a
durable and safe Appliance to wear.
10. My reputation for honesty and
fair dealing is SO thoroughly establ-
lished by an experience of over thirty
years of dealing with the public, and
my prices are SO reasonable, my terms
50 fair, that there certainly should be
no hesitancy in sending free coupon
