THE GREAT BLESSING.

l had weary siege of sickness that
called for pink and purple pills; my
humble roll lost all its thickness when
had paid the doctors bills. And
Pharmacists and we'll trained nurses
were chasing to me up the road, and
undertakers with their hearses were
hanging round my sad abode. Now
am feeling better, the govt and
mumps have left my frame, likewise
lumbago, Group and letter, though
rheumatic still plays its game. No
longer do l wear plaster, there is no
poultice on my form, and I'm not
scared by bleak disaster or by the ills
that round me swarm. If one has
health he is a craven to talk Of grief
and trouble sore, and croak, like Edgar
Allans raven, such balderdash as
"Nevermore. Health is the only
thing that matters, beside it other
boons are vain, and men are surely
mad as matters who kick when they
are free from pain. Recovered from
my indigestion, and convalescent from
the itch, I face my tasks without a
question, and life seems full and sweet
and rich. Yes. ugly problems crowd
around me, and threats and things in

be composed of corpses, he would get
some idea of this terrible slaughter.
It would have required 5000 trains
to transport these soldiers while they
were living. In single file they would
have formed a column more than 500
miles long, allowing a space of only
two feet between them. At one time
we had $4,000 soldiers at Camp Sher-
man-and it seemed the whole face of
the earth for miles around was cover
ed with men. France lost as many
soldiers as would have occupied q
such camps. Our regiments averaged
about $500 men. France lost in killed
400 such regiments as ours.
1t is impossible for US, however we
may figure, to comprehend this awful
disaster SO far as France is concerned.
How then can we comprehend what
the war meant in destruction when we
remember that France was only one
country out of many that sustained
heavy loses? With our little, finite
minds, how can we know what effect
it is all to have upon the future of
mankind and of nations?

Judge Henry G.. Fox

The death of Judge Henry C. Fox removes
one of the ablest jurists and best lawyers of
Indiana He held the distinction of having had
few decisions reversed by the higher courts.
The esteem in which he was held by the COM
munity is best illustrated by his continuous
service on the bench.
He had wide knowledge of law and the abil-
ity to quickly through maze of legal in
tricaces to the underlying principle.
Judge Fox was identified with the history of
the county for many years. After his service in
the Civil war he took an active part in politics.
He knew George Julian Oliver P Morton, MINI
rod Johnson and other great lawyers of that day
intimately. For the last so years Judge Fox was
before the public constantly either an officer
as an attorney
He was held in high esteem by the lawyers
who practised before his bench. In his SEN
fences in criminal cases he tempered justice with
mercy. In the long years of his public service,
Judge Fox deserved the concentrations which
he received. He was faithful servant Of the
people, eminently qualified for the post he held,
and conscientious in the discharge of his duties.

Membership in the Red Cross

The Red Cross is not appealing for money,
but for personal participation in its great work
Of applied mercy and service to humanity. 1t
wants members-men and women who are allied
with the cause and partners in the alienation OF
human suffering.
Money is necessary for the operation of any
movement, but greater than financial contribu-
tons is the heart that is responsive to the call of
the afflicted and sees in every bit of suffering
humanity an opportunity to do good.
The Red Cross drive for membership is pred
icated on the theory that American men and
women and their children in the Junior Red
Cross, want to become personally Identified with
the greatest organization of mercy IN the world.
= And so the solicitors come to us with gospel
that evokes our Individual and personal partici-
patton in the purposes of the Red Cross. To this
appeal no one can turn deaf ear.

nal service during the war. It's record stands out

THE MAN WHO SEES
By Georae Matthew Adams

Some one has said that the eyes are
the windows to the soul. But unless
the soul uses these remarkable WIN
COWS, they resolve themselves into
mere mechanical organs of sight.
The man who really sees is the one
who is rich in living.
For US all there is so much to see
though so little is seen. Whole days
are lost to many because OF blindness
OF the eyes.
The things that you want mos 10
see. YOU are surest of seeing. Eyes
are able to search just as the mind is
able.
Blind people often see more than
those do whose sight is normal and
strong.
Our wills see!
The man who sees walks a quieter
and more serene way than any other.
He walks in sureneas and IN con-
fidence
He sees beauty, the good in happen
ings and people, and his vision is an
extended affair. For him to see heeo
is for him to brighten in his heart ana
to lend his hand in service.
On through the lanes of happiness
does every man and woman tread
whose eyes see the best in every
thing.
He sees farthest who helps another
to see,

Chaos in the Light Plant

The deplorable condition of the municipal
light plant is of long standing and is character
istic of most municipal enterprises. Private
ownership prevents rapid deterioration of prop
erty by an immediate replacement of damaged
parts and quick repairs to broken machinery.
Municipal ownership too often overlooks the ne
cessity of keeping plant at the highest state of
efficiency.
The reason is not so far off that it cannot be
seen by the alert citizen. When utility is mu-
nicipally owned and managed the administration
tries to make a good financial showing. 1t
doesn't want the people to complain that the
plant is earning no money Consequently, the
money that should be expended for repairs and
for requirements stays in the treasury, and the
administration is able to present financial
statement which seems to indicate that the plant
is a money-maker Of the first class.
This is precisely what has happened at the
municipal light plant. Very little money has
been spent for repairs. The machinery has been
permitted to deteriorate: defective parts have
not been removed; steam leaks through pipes
and elbows that should have been repaired
months ago; little defects have grown to major
proportions, so that the whole plant today is per-
ilous1y near collapsing. But on paper the plant
is a revenue producer.
Had these repairs been made many months
ago with the same attention to detail that char
acterizes the operation Of privately-owned util-
ity, the plant would be able to give satisfactory
service to the manufacturers and domestic con-
sumers. The present condition is the result of
neglect stretching over long period of time
It was ill-advsed economy that prevented the
expenditure of money for the remedylng OF this
condition many months ago.
A municipal plant cannot be operated sue
cessfully on a theory that prevents the expendi-
ture of money for repairs in order that an ad-
ministration might make good showing. It's
poor policy and leads to the ruin of the utility.
1t may be good politics, but it is poor business.
The chief engineer of the plant is overloaded
with work. He lacks assistants to handle the
plant AS the machinery deteriorates, he finds
it increasingly difficult to cope with the situa-
ton. It is said that he cannot hire employees,
and that this is done by others. Neither can he
discharge men. If politics permits the plant to
deteriorate and interferes with the selection of
capable employees, is there any wonder that the
utility is going to pieces?

Even the Root of
Superfluous Hair Vanish

What is the use of merely taking
off the hair-ends and not destroying
the roots of superfluous hair? Do you
know that you can easily and quickly
remove the hair entire, including the
roots: with ordinary phelactine? Just
try it! 1t is odorless, non-irritating,
and so harmless child could safely
eat it. Far superior to depilatories,
electrolysis, etc. Get a stick of phe-
lactine today from your druggist and
have the pleasure of actually remov-
ing the offending hair-roots at last
before your very eyes.-Advertise-

THE FINGER NAILS HISTORY

The rapidity of the growth of the
nails is indicative of the health. The
growth of the nails on the right hand
is in most people more rapid than of
those on the left hand. Another Gu
rious point is that the rate of growth
of the nail depends directly on the
length of the finger! thus the nails on
the two middle fingers of men grow
more rapidly than those on the first
and third fingers respectively, and
these in turn are more speedy in the
growth than those on the little fin
gers.
