MILLIONS OF CATARRH
GERMS FLOATIN THE AIR

You may use sprays, douches.
washes, ointments and jellies by
the gallon, and the best you can
possibly expect from such treat
ment is mere temporary relief.
But what you want is some per-
manent progress toward Kidding
yourself of the disease, and this
you cannot hope for until you
use treatment that goes direct
to the cause of the disease.
You must realize that Catarrh
is more than a mere local irri''
tation that stops up your nose
and irritates your throat and
chokes up your breathing ap-
paratus. Merely clearing these
up temporarily with strong So
lutions of sprays and other local
treatment, does not in the least
effect the real cause of the dis
ease.
Your blood is saturated with
Catarrh germs and these will
continue their irritating attacks
as long as they remain in the
blood.
The only sensible treatment,
therefore, is the one which will
rout the disease germs from the
blood.
This is why the most satisfac-
tory remedy for Catarrh is S. S.
S., the famous old reliable blood
purifier. S. S. S. has been used
successfully for Catarrh for
more than fifty years, and it is
the one remedy that attacks thu
source of the disease, cleansing
the blood thoroughly, and elm.
mating from it every trace OF
disease germs.
If you want remedy that
goes direct to the seat of the dis.
ease, begin to take S. S. S. today
and throw away your atomizers
and other local treatment tina!
cannot possibly reach your Ca
tarrh. You will be delighted
after giving this remedy a trial
and will soon find yourself on the
road to a complete recovery. S
S. S. is sold by druggists every
where.

When Was First
Postoffice
Opened Here?
One hundred and one years ago, in

One hundred and one years ago, In
1918. Robert Morrison received his
commission as postmaster, and Rich
mond assumed the dignity of post
Office town. He opened the Office in
frame. building, in which he also
kept store, at the southwest corner
of Main and front streets. He later
moved both the Office and store to
the northwest corner of Main and
Pearl streets, now Main and Fifth,
where he also kept a store.
In 1929, Morrison resigned, and the
Office passed into the hands of Daniel
Reid, father of Daniel G. Reid, finan-
cier, New York, who taught school in
the neighborhood.
A little delay of a month or so in
their mail, did not bother Richmond
inhabitants much then, for while the
mails were supposed TO come every
two weeks, sometimes the postboy
was delayed and they did not arrive
for month or so. Floods and i'm
passable, muddy roads, delayed the
| carrier, who brought the mails by
horseback.
The returns of the Office made quar-
terly, amounted to two or three dol
/ lars every three months, "in strange
contrast to the present returns" says
John Plummer's city directory of 1857,
Ito the present proceeds of the office,
these being, in the year 1856, ST.
| 407, 13."
In still stranger contrast to the pro-
| ceeds for the year 1918 of about S142,-
| 600 and $4S,62653 for the first quarter
| of 1919.

The Muncie Disclosures

The arrest of alleged swindlers and gangsters
in Munce on the charge of defrauding persons
out of thousands of dollars has an element of
general interest that gives the more than
a purely local interest. Muncie has received 2
had name throughout Indiana by reason of the
corruption unearthed there and the alleged con-
nivance of some of its officials with the cuprits.
But the latest disclosures again show the gen.
cral weakness of men to obtain something for
nothing and to hope for big returns on nominal
investments Therein is contained a warning
that all of us should take to heart.
Two victims were done" for $4,000 on fake
fights The state and federal authorities say
that more than 100000 was lost by persons who
were led to put up their money for fixed" fights.

Why Buy Victory Bonds?

When the war was in progress Americans
gave freely from motives of patriotism. In their
enthusiasm they did not stop to consider any
selfish ends
But in giving to the war they really made an
investment for themselves Every dollar put into
government bonds is so much invested in ones
own name for ones own benefit. Every dollar
thus given comes back to the giver with emolu-
ments in the form of interest, credit or increased
opportunity.
So in the course of time when the impulse
had subsidized somewhat, it dawned in upon us
that what we advanced to the government was
not gift at all, but loan with the promise OF
interest We were in fact the beneficiaries OF
our own philanthropy
And now with the war over all forces are en-
gagged in bringing industry back to normal we
are better situated mentally to consider the mer~
it's of our giving, if choose to call it giving.
Let us call it, not gift, but an investment You
are not giving; but investing money, when you
have guilt edged guarantee of repayment with
Is to 81 per cent dividends. Liberty Loan bonds,
for example, represent sound investment.
The life of industry is what is saved over
and above the living cost. The surplus of the
peoples savings is the available capital upon
which industry feeds. Therefore, every man
contributes to industry in proportion as he saves.
and he shares in the benefits of industry to the
extent of his contribution If nobody saved any
thing the country would be without capital and
industry would die natural death.
That is one reason for thrift.
Money freely spent is Immediately distributed
and serves only a momentary purpose. But saw
ings placed on deposit is put to work at interest
and enables another to use it for permanent
good The borrower reinvests it one way or an
other, usually by putting it into improvements
and thus contributing something to the upbuild-
ing of the community. In this way there is a
twofold benefit derived from the savings. The
first man gets not only his interest but shares
in the improvement which his savings made pos
sible The second man is enabled to make an in
vestment which gives him distinct advantage.
The benefits from savings mutual.
That is another reason for thrift.
There is yet moral side to thrift which need
not be mentioned here because everybody knows
what it is. The spirit of saving stabiizes the
mental attitude and better fits the for life's
struggle.
