POPULARITY OF
LAUNDRY GROWS
Now Regarded as Modern
Economic Necessity.

Gone are the days when the very word
laundry was synonymous with torn
clothes, faded %colors. ripped-cn buttons
and ruined clothing. says Paul r. Syers,
manager Of the Sanitary Laundry. PAL
244S Central avenue. With modern ma
chinery. better processes and the applica-
ton Of modern science to The business
all this has been changed he said.
Not so many years age any joke at
the expense OF a laundry was received
with laughter and appreciation" Mr..
Syers added.
In those times the work was lone i'm
perfectly and many a housewife never
trusted her household linen or wearing
apparel to a laundry, except in an e1ner-
gency OF some kind. and she held her
breath when finished work had been re-
turned until she could determine the exact
extent of her damages.
But now, everything is different I'm
proved machinery, scientific anagement
and modern business methods have
worked a revolution. Today the class of
work done in a laundry is in fact better
In quality than that done in an average
home. This has led to an unprecedented
Increase in the amount OF household work
sent out to high-class ~laundries and ac-
counts for the growing popularity Of this
kind of work.

CEMENT BLOCKS
IN BIG DEMAND
Open Winter Encourages Con-
tinuance of Building.

So great has been the demand for
cement blocks during past winter that
it has been impossible for at least one
firm to lay up a stock to be used as re-
serve for the increasing demand that Is
sure to come with spring, according TO
l.. W. Lewis, secretary treasurer OF the
Helm-Lewis Cement Block Company,
Fourteenth street and Fall Creek. Mr.,
Lewis said that open winter has resulted
in a great amount Of building and con-
struction work being lone during months
which ordinarily see a cessation OF
activities OF this character.
1--WE have been turning out cement
blocks at the rate Of about 1900 a day"
he said, but we have been unable to lay
up a supply for futures use so great has
been the demand for the product.
Time, material and labor costs are
saved by the use Of these blocks in the
construction of walls in residences and
stores. We manufacture rock-faced,
panel faced and all other standard
blocks. The first named is used almost
exclusively in residences, while the panel
faced variety are used In stores and
other commercial and business buildings.
at has been just a year since the
Helm Lewis Company was formed ana
in that time we have turned out more
than three hundred thousand blocks.
The capacity Of the plant is about three
a minute although in the near future
improvements will be made increasing
the output about % per cent.
I'VE established our factory near Fan
Greek. where there is an enormous sup
ply Of sand and gravel available, the
largest in the State, l believe, with eK-
ception Of the sand dunes along Lake
Michigan in the extreme northwestern
part Of Indiana. 1t has been estimated
hat there Is contained IN the pile about
40. o cubic yards OF sand. We have
used only about one-twelfth OF the orig
inaI amount, which means we Will DC
able to continue for eleven mora years
During the last year there has been
a drop Of % per cent or more In the
price Of cement blocks. and l am con
vlnced that II the freight rates are low
cred from their present abnormal height
there will be still another decrease II
price. Business conditions are unusually
good. in spite Of general conditions. AZ
a general thing business falls on In this
season Of the year. but present indica-
lions are that as long as weather viii
permit there will be considerable build
ing activity in Indianapolis the rest OF
the winter.
great as has been activity along
home building lines in Indianapolis dur
ing the past year, the homo shortage
has not been relieved. as yet, and the
demand for we'll built. modern homer
still IS very insistent, During the com
ing year this demand will increase, IN
doubtedly, as good weather approaches.

SKEPTICS SCOFF
ATDISCOVERIES
Scientific Revolutions Ac-
cepted Reluctantly in
Many Quarters.

While one set Of nOn-progressive per-
sons are vehemently asserting something
cannot be done, someone else with i'm
~agination and initiative Is going ahead
calmly and doing it. Such has been the
way since the world was young. The
conservative element of a community or
a nation IS apt to be skeptical Of any
thing which it does not fully understand,
and makes no effort to understand things
with which it has not been familiar from
earliest childhood.
In many instances discoveries have
been denounced as of no practical use.
1t was this way with the steam engine,
the steam boat, the telephone and
telegraph, the bicycle, the automobile,
and the airplane, and today many per-
sons are calmly asserting that the radio
phone Is of no practical use.
NJ. L. G~alerman, doctor of chiropractic,
42o State Life building, says that this
has been the history of ~chiropracty.
Our profession has been opposed by
persons who forget that these are days Of
change, when scientific revolutions are
effected overnight" he said. Take
c~hiropractic adjustment, for example 1t
releases the latent force which is an In
herent part Of all living organisms, stir
ring all dorman matter to renewed life,
vigor and action; and its value in the re-
storation Of conditions wherein normal
runctloning Of the various organs may be
resumed is testified to by thousands of
chronic inyalids who have regained nor
NAL health through its application.
Nerve compression at the spinal June
lures Is the cause Of almost all diseases.
/ believe, nerve tracings from the spine
TO the periphery, as a confirmation OF the
causitiVe theory Of disease. Specific ad-
1ustment OF Yertebrae In a particular d.
rection with a certain, definite amount of
speed and force will eliminate effectually
the cause OF a particular trouble by ac-
c~urately realizing the %subluxated verte-
brae, and this can be accomplished only
by a system Of palpitation and analysis
peculiar to chtropratic practice.
"Th rapid growth In popularity, which
the profession has won for itself, is proof
beyond any need Of demonstration chiro-
practic has won for itself a distinct and
weu-earned place II the hearts OF people
who have been beneftter by IT."

the better equipped of these concerns
and they have taken a big load off the
shoulders of the housewife, and the laun-
dry instead Of being regarded as a dire
engine Of destruction to be avoided as
much as possible Is now looked upon as
a real boon inc benefactor which lightens
the task of ~druggery In the home.

Ing fact the scarcely heard-of things of
one generation become the luxurles of
