OWE VOTE OF THANKS. . The citizens of Richmond owe a yote of thanks to the board of public works and city Attorney Study for tfceir work in bringing the traction lines to time in regard to the freight kjnestion. And the business men vhose. interests have suffered through the non-operation of freight car3 also deserve thanks. This co-operation on the part of the city officials and the business men has been the greatest element towards bringing triumph to the cause of the city. It eliminated eny possibility of a divided camp within the city ad enabled it to bring the streatast possible force to bear upon President McGowan of the traction company. Mr. McGowan's part In the controversy has not been particularly commendable as he ha3 simply accepted the inevitable in submitting to the city's demands. Richmond would lold him in greater esteem had he been frank and above board and not waEted so much time looking around for some way in which to get his company out of acceding to the just demands of the city. But that is now past and Richmond can afford to overlook it. The question of what kind of a franchise the company should have can be safely left to the judgment of the board and the city attorney. Their good work so far in the matter entitles them to our trust and confidence in completing it.

fha ajejHF friKhlsalKHlia, provide However, If any of our readers can think of other things which the new franchise should cover wo would sug gest that they send in a communication containing their views to the Palladium and Sun-Telegram. Such communications should be sent in soon so that their publication can take place while the traction question 13 still fresh in the minds of the people.
FJewo off the Railroads Local and General.
A FEW SUGGESTIONS. We have several . suggestions to make to the city officials in regard to the new franchise to be granted to the traction company, and feel that they will meet with the approval of the citizens of Richmond. There is no reason why the new franchise should not be made to stop once and for all time the complaints our citizens have lodged against the company. In the first place the franchise should provide that the limited cars in going through the city make a reasonable number of stops, and not simply rush through from the corporation limits to Eighth street. Then again the traction company ought to be compelled to gTant transfers from citycars to interurbans and vice versa. There are a great many men working in Richmond who come in from the country districts and they have to use the interurbans and city cars. At present they have to pay both the interurban fare and the fare on the city cars. It is for the benefit of these people chiefly that the new franchise ought to provide that transfers must be given as suggested above. Then that pleasant little "hold up" game of the car company, of not selling tickets on the cars ought to be stopped. It is run on the principle that a person living twenty blocks or so from the car station on Kighth street will not care to walkto the station simply for the purpose of purchasing tickets, six for a quarter. And by not selling tickets on the cars the company saves the extra ticket it would otherwise lose. Now if the company is willing to sell tickets at its station six for a quarter there is no reason why it should not be equally willing to do so
ADVANCE SERVICE NOTICE. MICHIGAN TRAVEL WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF. Semi-Weekly Excursions Will Be Run On June 4, 7, 11, 14, 13 And 21. The local Pennsylvania ticket 'offices have received notice of advance services over the Pennsylvania and G. R. & I. lines to points in northern Michigan, the Northland limited starting June 4 and running semi-weekly from that date till June 2S. The regular daily train will be placed in use June 30. Berths can be secured from St. Louis, Louisville, Indianapolis and Cincinnati and all connections are made in Richmond with the Northland limited.

The limited will leave Richmond at 0:2O on the dates given up until the regular service is installed. The daily service when established, will continue till Sept. SOth. The Northland limited will carry a dining car and serve breakfast. STILL CONFINED AT HOME. Thomas Murphy, day station agent for the Pennsylvania, is still confined to his home with illness, his condition not being reported much better. GETTING OUT GRAVEL. Pennsylvania gravel trains and gravel pit crew are now working at the East Germantown pit in full force, taking out about one hundred and fifty car loads of gravel each day for use on the double tracks near Bradford, O. A crew is still working on the cutoff recently built by the Pennsylvania out
of that place. The Richmond and) Indianapolis divisions will Boon receive their share of attention as far as ballast is concerned. STEEL RAILS TO ADVANCE. Carles M. Schwab is authority for the statement that the price of eteel rails will advance at least three times over their present cost, as alloyed rails of some kind are the only remedy for the constantly breaking raiU of today. He says the trouble is not with the rails but the heavy equipment being hauled over them. The rail situation is one above all others that is bothering the minds of all the railroads who desire to operate fast trains. It is reported authoritatively that on a recent trip of the ChicagoNew York eighteen hour flyer just twenty rails were broken. LOSS FROM SHORTAGE. It is estimated that the cotton growers in the South lost between $10,000,000 and ?20,000,000 during the past season on account of shortage of cars. Most of this was due to the exposure of the cotton to the elements while in the streets awaiting transportation. ADVANCE WAS MADE. On an assessment made last week the rolling stock of the Panhandle was increased from $10,400 to $10,600 a mile; moneys and credits from $1,600 to $1,750 a mile and the unfinished sidings not listed for taxation heretofore were valued at $2,000 per mile. SPRING SCHEDULE. The Pennsylvania lines East and West will Install the spring schedule of passenger trains Sunday, May 2G. It is announced that there will be but very few changes in the time of trains out of Richmond, if any.
INSPECTIONS UNDER THE PURE FOOD LAW Conditions Improved Since Passage of the Measure.
REPORT ON DRUG STORES.
Since the new pure food law went
into effect, in March, 1,003 inspections have been made in the State by
the State Pure Food Laboratory, and in no case was a drug store found to be
in the lowest class, as far as sanitary
conditions were concerned. One hun
dred and sixty-five drug stores were
inspected and seven were reported in
"excellent" condition, 91 were classed
as "good"; 60 "fair," and 7 as "poor." The greater number of inspections
of dairies, groceries, meat markets.
bakeries, confectionaries and hotels and restaurants were reported "fair."
Of 29 dairies 4 were reported as be
ing in excellent condition, 8 as "good," 70 "fair," 5 "poor" and 2 as "bad." Of 357 groceries 15 were "excellent," 120 were "good." 181 were "fair," 31 "poor and 10 were "bad." But three of the 220 slaughter houses inspected were classed as excellent. Fifty-eight were "good," 134 "fair," 15 "poor" and 10 "bad." Bakeries and hotels showed about the same results. The inspectors condemned five buildings used as slaughter houses.

Lift a Ton a Half Mile Man Can Get Energy Enough To Do This By Eating a Pound of .Wheat. Readers will no doubt be interested in knowing the tremendous food value of wheat. There is enough food energy in one pound of wheat to enable a man to lift a ton half a mile that is, carefully conducted scientific experiments show that when one pound of wheat is eaten, it develops energy equal to 2,635 foot tons. This means energy sufficient to enable a man to lift one ton 2,635 feet; or 2,635 tons one foot. The same authorities show that a man can obtain only 1,666 foot tons of energy from a pound of sirloin of beef. Many may be surprised at this large difference in favor of wheat, but noted authorities and travelers insist that the finest and strongest physical specimens of manhood in the world are those who subsist entirely without meat food. It is further interesting to know that the most nutritious and healthful food form of wheat yet produced fs Malta-Vita, almost predigested, ready for immediate assimilation and undoubtedly "the perfect food" for men. women and children of all ages and occupations. It contains the full nourishment of finest whole wheat in which specialy prepared pure malt extract has changed the starch, into
maltose (malt sugar), one of the mostj
necessary and valuable of all the iOOd elements. Those who eat Malta-Vita, "the perfect food," with milk, cream- and fruits, and with little or no meat, attain to the finest physical conditions possible. They get plenty of nourish ing maltose, are bright, vigorous, clear minded, and can depend every
day upon energy for highest working! efficiency. Malta-Vita should be j made a part of the every day fool of s all who need strength or value henHh j and long life. Sold by grocers, only
10 cents.

You wouldn't pay railway fare to anybody who happened to ask you for it, but only to the responsible uniformed conductor. You shouldn't feel bound to take the first cigar that's offered to you, but only the one that's plainly marked with the stamp of responsibility -the "Triangle A." You know what you're getting when You buy a "Triangle A" Cigar What do you know about the nameless and irresponsible cigars offered you ? The "Triangle A" is a guarantee of cigar quality before you buy. It's plain proof that we are willing and anxious' to have the American Cigar Company's cigars judged strictly on their merits. - The "Triangle A" has a wider meaning than that of a mere identification mark: One Side stands for knowing how. Another Side stands for equipment And all that would never be worth a last year's calendar to you . if the third side of the "Triangle A" did not stand for the disposition of the American Cigar Company to give the smoker all the benefit of its cigar knowledge and cigar-producing equipment. Therefore The American Cigar Company is taking this occasion to assure you that its "Triangle A" is a public sign of its definite, positive and unchangeable intention to offer you always the best cigars that its unequalled equipment and experience are capable of producing.! We manufacture a large number of brands of different blends to) suit individual tastes. The New CREMO affords first-class evidence of the quality that is guaranteed by the "A" (Triangle A) on the box.

j SHOULD WE KEEP CUBA? S The Question perhaps most prominently before the American public to day is "Should we Keep-Cuba?" The jpast record of the Cubans raises a j doubt as to their stability to maintain j anything approaching a stable and efjfective form of government without
the help of the United States, and if Cuba is judge! incapable, should the United States take the form of a protectorate or of definite and unequivocal annexation. Robert Howard Russell, in an article bearing tho title "Should We Keep Cuba? in the June number of The Metropolitan Magazine, discusses the pros and cons of this question after an experience of
