NEGRO BANDIT HAS
NOVEL SCHEME

Hot weather is having its effects on
Memphis bandits. They wait in the
shade and toll their victims to them by
the medium Of the telephone, thereby
proving one thing and that is they are
blessed with an abundance of patience.
In answer to a telephone message re-
ceived at the Rising Sun meat mar
ket, conducted by negro merchants at
Mississippi boulevard and Ill ave-
nue., late Tuesday afternoon. two wa
termelons, some pork and change for
$40 was sent to al address on Phillips
street, in charge of two negro youths,
in the delivery motor truck.
Nearing the destination a negro un-
known to the delivery boys, hailed the
truck and climbed in, asking about the
melons and pork, Satisfied the goods
were there, he drew a big pistol, made
the negroes turn over the $40. poked
them from the truck with the barrel
Of the pistol and drove the truck away
at high speed.
Policemen Robinson and oliver found
the truck, but no trace of the negro and
one of the watermelons.

ming of industrial districts Cheap light and
power from public utilities count in the cost of
goods. So on down the list.
The city of Gary Ind, was planned by the
steel corporation as place where steel could be
cheaply manufactured. Every city by careful
planning may make itself place where business
may be done advantageousy-whe the business
Idifferentials are good.
Kansas City today is dealing with one element
in business differentials-the widening of streets
ond the laying out of traffic ways. Mayor Cow
gill is simply showing excellent business sense
when as head of this city corporation, he gets
the property owners of Oak Street together to
consider the widening of the street and its ex-
tension south and east as a new traffic way
Congested streets mean high cost in carriage
and in all local transportation. If Kansas City
had been laid out originally with wide streets and
good traffic ways how much the general cost of
doing business in the city would have been les
sened! Now, as business matter, as matter of
business differentials, the mistakes of the past
must be remeded as rapidly as possible. Every
years delay makes the process more expensive.
The fatal mistake in dealing with city i'm
provements that increase business differentials is
to consider the city as finished. Kansas City is
not finished. 1t has its own natural dfferentials
in its access to farm products to coal and OIL that
are forcing it ahead. All signs indicate that it
is on the verge of another tremendous of
growth.
The question is Will it plan for this growth
intelligently, to provide all the advantages
possible for doing business in Kansas City? Or
will it go on blndly and throw away all the bust
ness differentials that clear vision and aggres-
sive action might insure it?

How Much Money
Was Expended on
1838Canal Plan?

Richmond has almost every kind of
communication with the outside
, , world, but lying on no navigable river,
she has never had any kind of water
way. The nearest that the city ever
came to this was the great Richmond
Lawrenceburg Canal dream of 1888.
According to the projectors Of the
canal, the system was to be in two
parts. Lawrenceburg, and thence to
Cincinnati by way of the Ohio, were
the objective of both, and the canal
was TO be single until ii reached
Broohville from the south, thence to
be split in two branches, one to Cam
bridge and one to Richmond
The former, the Whitewater canal,
was actually completed, by the assist
ance of the state. For the latter,
which would have cost about S508, 900,
first appropriation was made of $780,
900 of which S45,0 900 was expended
The enterprise was then abandoned.
but traces of old entertainments and
bitches may yet be seen in the south
ern part of the county.
Simpson Torbert, the engineer, was
much disappointed at this end of his
dream. He had hailed Richmond as
the Pittsburg of Indiana, foreseeing
almost no end TO the growth of the
city through its advantageous position
as the head of water trade for all the
country north and east, through his
project.
But it was well that the scheme
was abandoned, perhaps. The great
floods of 1847 almost totally destroyed
the Whitewater canal, and it never
regained its former usefulness With
a fall of 273 feet in "a miles between
Richmond and Brookyille, heavy loss
es would almost certainly have been
suffered on the Richmond for of the
project, before it could have rendered
much useful service.

POWERFUL PILE
REMEDY DISCOVERED
Has Never Failed to End Most Obsti.
nate Case of Piles in Few Days.

For years II has been proved that So
called external remedies applied to or
inserted in the rectum cannot cure
piles, and at the best can only give tenn
porary relief. Surgical operations also
do not remove this cause, but simply
the formation.
This wonderful prescription. known
as Miro Pile Remedy, is so efficient in
the treatment of piles, that even chronic
cases of from 20 to 80 years standing
with profuse bleeding have been COM
pletely cured in from three to ten days.
Think of it, Just few doses of
carefully balanced prescription and the
most persistent case of piles is alb
sorbed, never to return. :
Just read what Henry ]. Stone of the
Lorain, Ohio, Fire Department says:
II had bleeding and protruding piles
for three years and tried all kinds OF
remedies without result. but was thor
oughly cured after taking one bottle
of Miro"
Frank J. Phillips Of Bird Island.

Il used half a bottle of Miro, It

blessings as / am now enjoying.
would have used the whole bottle but
IT was not necessary"
All pharmacists dispense Miro or can
get 1t for you on short notice. Surely
it's worth the little trouble to obtain il
to be rid of piles forever.

itching piles are not piles in the true
sense of the word, although this con

SAYS POISONS CAUSE
HEADACHE DIZZINESS
Coated Tongue and Millions of Ali
, ments in the Spring.

The best thing to do to avoid spring
fever and other kindred ailments to
which the human body is subject 10
during springtime.
Many men, women and children
need a spring blood purifier The
blood becomes thick with poisons
through the winter months. When
spring comes, serious ailments like
typhoid, scarlet fever, coughs, colds,
Catarrh, neuralgia, rheumatic pains,
loss Of appetite and sluggish all-in
feeling prevails. Loss of appetite also
often occurs, together with constipa-
ton and terrible torpidity of the
liver, which makes the skin and the
white of the eyes yellowish looking.
The bowels, the liver and the kid
neys need help. The blood needs
thinning and purifying if pimples and
boils are present. Laxcarin Tablets
quickly remove constipation and kid
ney inactivity and elimination of pois-
ons takes place and you are made
strong and fit for spring and summer.
Take a Laxcarin tablet for few days
early in the morning and when going
to bed, and note the difference in
your every day life. Note how well
you feel, and how much better life will
seem to you. Because no one can en-
joy life if there is the slightest trou-
BILE with the system, especially when
really serious matters like constipa-
ton, liver trouble, stomach disorders
or indigestion occur.
For your own health's sake try Lax
carin. There is nothing better. Do
not accept substitute. Write direct
to the Laxcarin Products Co. and If
you want enough for a full treatment
then write for six boxes, the cost of
which is five dollars. One box for
one dollar, postage prepaid. Laxcarin

Plant More Vegetables

The National War Garden Commission alarm.
ed at the loss of fruit due to the recent cold wave
is advising home gardeners to plant more vege-
tables to make up for the loss. We gain nothing
by deploring the loss of fruit but we will profit
enormously if we set at work at once to remedy
this loss by planting vegetables and canning the
crop. A wise person wastes no time and worry
over a loss which he cannot control He seeks a
remedy at once and tries to overcome the handi-
cap by increased effort. The National War Gar
den Commission has given us the remedy for the
present situation Let the garden work go on
with increased fervor until the canning season
arrives.
