Joanna c. Colcord of the Russell

projects could be financed as well from

more expensive than direct relief, but
Is designed to preserve self respect and

Worse Than Catastrophe of War.
Wilbur I. Newsletter, professor at

leader in Cleveland, said the present
emergency is worse than any catas-
trophe of war"
He said it would be much worse II
funds were not provided to continue
normal welfare work, which is being
squeezed out by the demand for unem-
plOyment relief
Until recently Newsletter was op-
posed to Federal relief, but he indi-
Gated he had changed his views.
The dole is being deliberately falsi-
fed" the professor said
Further support for direct Federal re-
lief came from Sidney Goldstein of
New York, chairman of the Joint Com
mittee on Unemployment. His COM
mlttee is composed of a number Of or
ganizations including the Church
League for Industrial Democracy, the
Conference for Progressive Labor Ac-
tion, and the Social Service Commis-

Sections without Resources.
Goldstein said: I'VE urge Federal re-
lief because we realize that there are
large sections utterly without resources
to cover their own needs, and because
we believe that Federal Taxation for
relief is the only way to equallze the
burden that should be borne by the
country as a whole"
The number Of suicides in this coun-
try has doubled in the past year, Gold
stein said because people were unable
TO stand the strain. He estimated that
between 10000, 900 and 100000 per-

PILOTS STEAMBOAT

NEW ORLEANS, December Ca
After 40 years of steamboatin' on the
Mississippi, Capt Leverrier c. Cooley
has passed down the River Styx, where
pilots don't worry about floods and
channels
Six feet tall at rs and as straight as
| a swamp cypress, Cap'n Cooley suffered
q stroke of apoplexy while loading the
ouachita up the river, but he lay, on
a cot and brought her to landing
to close q life of romance and hard
ship.
Since his death the valley is begin
ming TO realize that one of its most
glamorouS leaders has gone.
| Folks in the black and white river
country, where the best rouStabouts
come from, knew him as Yankee
pilot who came down from Ohio many
years ago when wounds of the war
between the States had not healed.
He fought his way to the top with fists
and friendships.
He sprang from clan of rivermen
that worked the Ohio, and became a
commanding figure in that vanishing
fraternity of pilots that nursed Marx
Twain down here where water runs
|
Capn Cooley always wore high
stiff collar and panama hat, and many
songs of the rouStaboutS, Chanted as his
boats were loaded with cotton and sugar,
were about him.
| From boy cotemporary of the men
who raced the Robert E. Lee and City
of Natchez up the river, Capt Cooley
became an extensive packet owner and
operated such boats as the America,
the George Prince, the Kate Adams
and the Ouachita-craft that were riv-
er queens in the heyday of fast river
travel.
He was usually the first to take ad-
vantage of high waters in the tribu-
taries and push his boats to out-of-
the-way places for valuable cargoes of
lumber and cotton.
His ship was up Columbia way about
two weeks ago when apoplexy struck.
True to his vow that he would always
master his own boat, Capt. Cooley or
dered cot on deck and directed the
voyage to New Orleans.
He was taken to a hospital and died
with his family about his bed.

Reliable Warehouse Firm
Relieves Householder of
All Worries.

When it comes to packing up a
whole houseful of furnishings and
carting it to some other location, the
job is not exactly a source Of re-
joicing on the part of the household.
1t is tremendous undertaking, this
moving of the family furniture, I'M
less it is gone about in the right
way.
The best way Of going about it Is
to have nothing to do with it-iust
to shift the job on to the shoulders
Of somebody who knows how to do
it with the minimum of trouble and
the maximum of speed and skill.
Here is the solution. The house
holder must pay some one for the
job wherever he is going or what
ever he is going to do to help HIM
self. The sensible thing is to select
some reliable furniture warehouse
and let them do the job from
start to finish, whether the move
is into the next block or hundreds
of miles away. ~
Annoyance Is Avoided
The mover can be given full in
structions and be permitted to pick
up the goods, provide the trans
portation and place the furniture
in the new location, saving the
householder from annoyance and
worry of personal supervision.
The Shank Fireproof Storage
Company, 1880 North Illinois street,
Ri. 7434, has been doing this for
the people Of Indianapolis for
thirty-f1ve years. They have the
G luipment to do it right and they
have trained men who know how
to handle furniture, pianos and
other things. In fact, they have
everything needed to take care Of
this kind of job to any ones
complete satisfaction.
Storage Is Provided
The wise householder who turns
his moving worries over to the
Shank company can go about his
usual duties with very little inter-
ruption of the regular routine.
If he wishes to store some or all
of the goods, the Shank company
will attend to this in a highly salts
factory way insuring the goods and
providing all necessary safeguards
to protect the property.

Of
GOOD COAL IS
FUEL ECONOMY
Users Recognize Greater
Heating Qualities of
Better Grades.

Service is one of the big things
that are expected from coal deal
er. He must deliver the fuel when
it is wanted, and the manner of the
delivery and courtesy of all con-
cerned is important.
But there is another service that
is just as valuable, or even more so.
1t is the kind Of coal he delivers.
Most coal yards get good coal; they
must if they expect to stay in bust
ness. But once in a while one of
them gets extra good coal, and then
when the public finds it out, every
one wants that particular coal.
Carries Fine Stock
That has been the experience of
the Peoples Coal and Cement Com
pany. This company carries a fine
stock of coal, including in it many
varieties. But when it is asked to
recommend coal that will give
real satisfaction, furnishing more
heat per dollar and less ashes,
every one at the coal yard is en-
thusiastic for Everglo.
Patrons, too, become enthusiastic
on the subject. Every one, pre-
sumably, at some time or another
has received a load of coal that
looked fine, but produced a poor fire
and great quantities Of clinkers and
ashes. Because of such experiences
many persons insist on having a
branded coal, one they have burned
and know fills the bill.
Volume Is Increasing
Those who use Everglo coal say
that it burns better, is cleaner and
causes no trouble. Because of this
the Peoples Coal & Cement Co. has
a growing trade in it, the volume
increasing each season as more
householders learn of it.
Information on this and other
good brands of coal may be obtained
by calling Oh. 1890. The company's
main office is at 11O9 East Fifteenth
street, with a north yard at 1902
East Forty-second street; east yard,
1109 East Fifteenth street, and south
yard, 301 Shelby street.

Many Firms Find Part Time
Bookkeeping Service
Valuable.

There never was q year in recol-
lection Of business men when the
path to profits SO desperately needed
to be flooded with the light Of vital
facts.
To increase profits in 1881, moth
ing can take the place Of knowing
exactly where a business stands,
and knowing it so promptly that one
can act on time.
Production costs, sales costs, over
head-the lgures every department
and business Of a business need
watching as a cat watches a mouse.
Profits, as things stand now, are
likely to depend on fexibility and
resourcefulness, here an extra push,
there an intelligent economy as
timely, accurate figures point the
way.
Bookkeeping is one of the most
important parts Of the conduct of
any business, but employment of a
full-time booKkeeper often is found
too expensive by small companies.
However, these firms now may have
their business transactions recorded
at very nominal cost by a firm

Science Can Not Duplicate
Health Qualities of
Springs Product.

Rapid strides have been made in
the last several years by chemistry
but as yet man has not been able
to duplicate many of the wonders
of nature.
Almost any one with a knowledge
of chemistry could produce the
worlds most famous mineral waters,
if only they had natures secrets for
combining gases and chemical ele-
ments of which they are composed,
according to j. L. Schmidts, presi-
dent of the Aquos Products Com
pany, 1923 East Tenth street
However, nature refuses to yield
her knowledge to man in this re-
spect," he said. "a marked degree
of curative properties for certain
ailments is found in the world re-
nowned springs of Europe, but
Europe is not alone in possessing
such springs.
I'm our own state of Indiana, dis
covery Of mineral water of out
standing merit in treatment of in

Mineral Water Secret
Is Retained by Nature

Mineral water is beneficial to
the human system in the degree
that it contains, in properly bal
anced proportions, certain COM
binations of natural chemical sub
stances.
Importance in health of the
quality and quantity of water per-
son drinks can be realized when it
is considered that two thirds of the
human body is composed of water,
and that chemical changes con-
stantly going on within the body
produce water byproducts which
must be eliminated or cause serious
trouble.
"The function of a good mineral
water is to supply minerals in COR
rectly balanced relationships and to
maintain proper elimination of the
byproducts which can not be used
and which, if they remain, newt
ably poison the system"
