New York, July 3. The sailors of the battleships Connecticut, Nebraska and Rhode Island, which are at the navy yard being fitted out for the summer manoeuvers of the Atlantic fleet, are wondering if Rear x Admiral 8cbroeders recommendation to the

secretary of the navy, that cigarette

smoking on the ships be forbidden, is to be approved. If Secretary Meyer approves the recommendation, as It is aid he will, there will be a lot of unhappy sailors In the navy. - T ' "We simply cannot stand It," said a sailor of the flagship Connecticut yesterday, "and If the order goes out it's going to break many a good sailor's heart, for there ain't anything like a dreamstick to make time on the ocean pass quick. They say that we can smoke cigars or pipes, but' suppose we don't like cigars and pipes? : Cigars cost too much for us, and, besides, they don't aste good, like the ten-for-a-nlckel smoke, anyhow. "There's fellows on this ship that can't exist without the right kind of a smoke, and pipes and cigars are not the light kind for them." Officers Silent. The officers were more or less noneommunlcatlve about the effects of the order if it Is promulgated. Some of them admitted It would be anything but an easy job to enforce such an order, but all said they would do their best to rigidly enforce It If Secretary Meyer so orders. They appeared to think that such would be the instructions from the navy department. The Schroeder recommendation Is not the first of Its. kind. In the winter of 1 907, just before the Atlantic fleet started on Its voyage around the world, Surgeon General P. M. Rixey advised that the order be Issued putting a ban on cigarettes. "T Via. haAn VimnvVit trt - ftlA a ft An.

tion of the bureau." Surgeon General Rixey said at that time, "that cigarette smoking Is becoming a serious Impediment to robust health in the navy. This habit seems to have taken a decided impetus in the service since the Spanish war, and has spread to incredible proportions. ( While wishing to avoid discussion on the elleged ill-

effect of the cigarette Itself, which, is still a mooted question, it is desired to bring to the attention of the. department its increased and Immoderate use by the young enlisted men. In the opinion of the bureau, it is not the cigarette itself, but Its Intemperate use, which Is to be condemned and corrected." Norton's Opinion. Surgeon O. D. Norton, U. S. N., at present on duty in the recruiting service In this city, was even more emphatic In his condemnation of the cigarette habit than Surgeon General Rixey. ,v; . "Nature Is taxed," Surgeon Norton says, "to eliminate the nicotine which Is constantly absorbed by the mucous membrane of the nose, mouth, throat, . and large bronchi. It is the exception to find , a man cutting navy plug and rubbing it in the palm of his hand, preparatory to a good smoke in a pipe, as In the old navy. It is believed that it the use of the cigarette was forbid

den to all persons under 21 years of

age on board ship our sick records would be smaller and that it would force the development of a better physique and enhance the general efficiency of the service. The bureau favors a departmental order in the matter of cigarette smoking to this end." It Is believed that Secretary Meyer, if he accepts Admiral Schroeder's recommendations, will issue the order this week before the battleships leave tor Hampton Roads, where they are to assemble next Saturday.

A LITTLE HISTORY

The house-of Starr" is justly term-

ted the pioneer - of Ithe Western Piano Industry. Thirtjfelght years have

J elapsed since thef nucleus of the present i factory was established in this , ch'tysand that every succeeding year bate witnessed a "steady advancement no more convincing proof could be prcaluced than the instruments ttaemi selvjes, unless it might be the factories. From one small building the present mammouths plant has sprung, an increase almost t phenomenal. The Starraf actor ies- occupy more than ten acres of floor space situated in an almosttldeal location for piano construction, beine in the very center of the present lumber region and enjoyingample transportation facilities, the cost of 'manufacture is minimized to an eertent possibletonly under these conditions. Nothing that the builders art and unlimited capital can furnish in the matter of eauipment and construction has been neglected. Dry kilns of 'immense capacity supplement the air drying ,'in our own lumber " yards, so that, all material used is sub- ; jectedto a most 'complete and modern drying process. Machinery of the most modern type has been installed, and today the pi ace is one of the largest in the world devoted exclusively to the manufacture of high class grand, upright and Player Pianos. The value oft music needs no commendation. Penhaps 'In times not so very far past a musical education could be scoffed at, but as surely as the grand, upright and player pianos have supplemented the square that order of things has changed. No longer Is an education complete without musicinor can the home maintain the least semblence of an Intellectual environment unless music is predominate in the lives of its occupants. However' by no means la this the only side of entertainment never failing always at your command. One need not be a vituroso nor spend years at study, still they may possess the key to a casket of priceless gems of harmony. In 1893 at Chicago, in 1897 at Nashville and in 1904 at St. Louis the Juries of Awards were unanimous in - awarding the Starr highest honors. Over two hundred colleges and conservatories throughout the United 1 States and Canada have confirmed this decision by selecting them for their use while seventy thousand satisfied purchasers up-hold them as preeminently the piano of America.

IFoir ai Few Pays Lomigjeir

Yes! used pianos very much under price. . The piano store never looked healthier than -it does today full to overflowing with bright and beautiful pianos of our own makes, but the very fact that we have so many new pianos on the floor necessitates getting rid of the used instruments, which were taken from various schools and colleges in and around Richmond, and some few different makes in exchange from purchasers of our pianos. The price we have placed on these used instruments, though they are in first class shape and will prove worth a great deal more than the prices we ask, should induce immediate purchases.

MUCH FERTILIZER

SOLD III THE CITY

McConaha Company Does a Very Large Business In This Line. FARMERS KNOW ITS USE

FRANK JONES STATES THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY NEED AND THEY ARE ALWAYS MAKING EXPERIMENTS. TWayne county farmers are certainly up to date in the use of fertilizer. Of all our business we sell more fertilizer in Wayne county than anything T8 a that is concerned we seu a lot it outside of "the" county.

all Over a large district in Indiana."

That was the reply of Frank Jones of the McConaha company when he was questioned yesterday.-. "But do farmers really know that is are they scientific about using fertilizer which is adapted to their soil?' was the question asked. , "Yes, indeed they are. O, here and there you will find a man who wastes fertilizer, but in the main we have found that they know exactly - what they need, and are always experimenting. It is v this experimenting that really tells the tale any way, as far as fertilizers are concerned, and we aid our customers in every possible way to get good results. Former Custom. "The time was, you know, when the farmer would ship a little sample of the dirt in his field up to the state chemist and want to know what fertilizer he ought to use. But inasmuch as the soil varies all over the farm, or even In one field, the results were never very satisfactory, v The, chemist would analyse and advise but after that there was no real guarantee of success. "Last year we mailed out to our customers about four hundred of the reports of the investiutons up at the

Purdue experiment station. The farmers got to studying them and they have found out a lot. The results were so satisfactory that we have had lots of customers who have coma back for more and more. The use of fertilizer on corn in this part of the country is just, in its infancy. Farmers used to think that fertilizer was only for wheat. But now that corn has grown so very valuable the corn raisers have been using fertilizer extensively and with great success.
