lzations believe in having first-aid kits handy,
and both believe in teaching those to whom such
kits are handy, how to use them. How much
teaching has been done, or will be DONE of the
postoffice hired hands in this respect has not
been announced. If there be no such teaching,
such first aids as instruments, wire splints,
tourniquets and even sterile gauze may be rather
useless On the other hand, the inclusion in
each kit of 10000 compound cathartic pills
seems to indicate that the policy is intended to
be of ordinary medical treatment rather
than emergency service. Iodine is doubtful, but
aromatic spirits of ammonia may be emergent,
and certainly one dozen safety pins are. Taken
as whole, however, the kit might be regarded
rather as doctors than a layman's outfit.

office where any considerable number of persons

he will presumably be trained in the science of
medicine and surgery, and the situation will be

the point is made that congress has made no ap-
preparation for such supplies and activities, and
there seems to be considerable objection to the
doctor-p ostmaster-generars enterprise. Further
more, the argument that the people do not want
any federal medical practice has a good deal Of
foundation in fact"

Ripping Rhymes
BY Walt Mason
sLANDERED PRUNES

Though prunes are held to be the
symbol of everything that's cheap and
base, the man whose brains would fill
a thimble must know such taunts are
out of place. For prunes are whole
some and nutricious, they brace US up
from head to heel, and serpent-wise
are cooks who dish us a quart or two
at every meal. Oh, prunes are side
stepped, donnerwetter, because of jes-
ters' quips and quirks, yet doctors say
there's nothing better to regulate the
human works. They have the acids
we are needing, the vitamines and
things like those, and that rich juice
you see them bleeding gives haggard
cheeks the tint of a rose. And yet
we blush when we go shopping, to ask
for prunes, of fruits the best; we fear
the grocer will be yawping the Gus
tomary homeless jest. We fear to
place prunes on the table when vist
tors are in the chairs, for haply they
may not be able to stifle threadbare
jokes of theirs. And thus the helpful
prune inherits an odium that keeps it
slammed; it cannot advertise its
merits, for people yell when it is
named. OF prunes I'd chant when
other singers are praising roses to
the sky; for prunes are daisies, prunes
are dingers, when stewed or fried or
in a pie.

down on himself the criticism of unofficial doc

Facts About Indiana
fRv Associated Pressl

A monument marks the site of Fort
Sackyille, located at Vincennes, and
which was captured from the British
by Col. George Rogers Clark on Feb.
25, 1879.
At one time there was pronounced
effort to make slavery legal in what
now is Indiana. This was in about
1877.
A census of 1910 showed grist mills
to be the leading manufacturing bust
ness in Indiana. There were SO such
mills.
The Western Sun of Vincennes, was
about the earliest newspaper in Indi-
ana Territory, it is said.
The principal subjects attracting
the people in Indiana in 1900 and 1901
were land speculations, the adjust
ment of land titles, the question OF
negro slavery, the purchase of Indian
lands by treaties, organization of ter
ritorial legislatures, the extension of
the right of suffrage and the division
of the Indiana territory.
On Feb. %, 1879, Col Clark took
formal possession of Fort Sackville at
Vincennes, and with that act the soil
of Indiana became a permanent Amer
lean possession.
The first Baptist church organized
! in Indiana occurred in 1898. 1t was
founded in the neighborhood of
| Charlestown.
One of the early organizations of
| Indiana Territory was the "Vincennes
! Society for the Encouragement of Ag-
riculture and the Useful Arts" This
was in 1909.
