Omlj the tUnret at ewinsuia costs taea la Its rtyert rammmm ex tae Hems Gathered in From Far and Near The Coat of Fire. Fires cost the country $600,000,000 each year. About $195,000,000 of this goes to Insurance companies, who hand back some $95,000,000. : Then the fire departments of the country cost $300,000,000, paid for people who feel comfortable and secure with a fire department. The most of this $600,000,000 loss is. entirely unnecessary.. Resides the cost of the precautions to extinguish fires the actual annual. per capita loss in the United States from conflagrations is now $2.30, while in Europe it is less than 33 cents. In 1907 something like $615,000,000 worth of new buildings were erected in the United States which just about equaled the fire losses for that year. "Every week in the year," says F. W. Fitzpatrick in the World of Today, "we burn up three theaters, three public halls, twelve churches, ten r schools, two hospitals, two asylums, two colleges, six apartment houses, twentysix hotels, three department stores, two Jails, 140 flai buildings and about 1,600 homes." This Is the price the public pays to- ignorance and carelessness; it is indeed "the red plague." K. '.'Your Ancestors. ; T I asked a friend a short time back how many ancestors he had in the direct line of twenty generations back. After a minute's reflection he suggested fifty. ' It may be a little surprising and, of interest to some of our readers to learn that they each have had more than a million ancestors within comparatively recent years, and that without taking into account uncles and aunts. Starting with one's parents, each person usually, has two, a father and a mother. The father had his two parents and tho mother had here. Thus each person Las four grandparents. One step-father and we have eight grandparents.. I know a case within living memcry where a man had four great-grandparents all living. A simple calculation gives the astonishing result that our lineal ancestors during twenty generations number "no fewer than 1,048,576, or sufficient people if all living iu populate, the .whole of Wales.

that Richmond will not be crowded with fakirs, charlatans, tin-trumpet men and all the glorious company of parasites who come in the wake of such an event to feed upon the crowds of unsuspecting people. If such, "were the case it would be JUchmond which would suffer. Not oniy would it be manifestly unfair to our own merchants and our own people, but it would give the town a black name for not protecting our guests. The co-operation of the Board of Works and other city officials with the Executive Committee in practically turning over the town to the Fall Festival te not to be classed as anything else but the real best government of the town. For the Board of Public Works has given full control of privileges, Streets, and all such practical matters into the hands of those who are managing the Fall Festival. , The true success of the Fall Festival last year was its freedom from undesirable features. This did not happen by accident. It happened because the Fall Festival authorities kept the fakers and the grafters out The cooperation between the city government and the Fall Festival made it possible. It is Richmond's guarantee to her own merchants and her whole time. It is Richmond's guarantee to her guests. It is the making of the Fall Festival..

THE TOUCHSTONE. There comes, now and then, a time when the true character of men ia their dealings comes out in moments when they least expect it. It is because they are off their guard that jou may know "their real character. If talk and pretty, words and high sounding phrases were the measure what a fine, large, smiling, altogether likeable world it would be! There would be no strife nor grumbling everyone would be working for a common object, knowing that when the whole is benefited the individual will get his benefit. There has been a revelation about some individuals in Richmond late- , ly-- . ...... '. Once they were the smiling, philanthropists, the energetic citizens, the unselfish men, working for the gool of the whole town. . But in a moment when they did not know they were on parade, then their whole character stood out under the searching limelight. It is the Fall Festival which is the Touchstone. Conceived with the idea of doing good to the town the whole town; planned for the purpose of making friends; executed in such a manner as to protect the town and to help every part of the whole community that is the Fall Festival. When the chance came to prove the word; when the time came for action; when character and acts, and not reputation and acting before th mirror of public applause was needed there were some who turned out to be not sound at the core. . The canker of selfishness was revealed and those who had basked i-i ! self-complacent self-approbation were found out by the Touchstone. Whether it be those who cannot subordinate one part of the town to the common good. Whether it be him who tries to make a "good thing" , out of the efforts of public spirited citizens. Whether it be those who lie down and rest while someone else does the work. Whether It be the knock- ' er who insinuates that "somebody Is getting something out of thi3." Whether it be the man who "gave something last year." or the man who wants to exploit himself at the expense of others ' They are all the same. The Touchstone found them.

PHYSICIANS ARE NATURALLY PREJUDICED against proprietary or advertised medicines, as the sale of these remedies decrease their incomes. However this may be, the general public ia benefited by the use of such standard medicines as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, with its wonderful record of thousands of cures among suffering women. We are very glad to say, however, that there are hundreds of honest physicians In the United States who do not hesitate to recommend such medicines. LABOR NOTES. la this country eighteen states have employment bureaus. Canada baa four governmental bureaus. In Chicago the tendency of wages In the various trades is upward, according to a recently published schedule. Fall River and New Bedford textile councils will henceforth act jGintly on legislative matters and general matters of concern to both bodies. The international executive board of the Steau Engineers union bas voted to transfer the publication' office of the International union journal from Boston to New York city. Under a rule adopted by the Oklahoma state board of public affairs only anion labor will be employed on all public buildings. No contractor who Is not willing to stipulate that he will employ union labor may bid on state work. The June financial statement of the Brotherhood of Carpenters shows re ceipts for the month of $43,602.82. Death and disability, claims aggregating f22,494.C5 were paid. The totaJ available amount in the general do fense fund July 1 was $385,480.55, On account of the notable success of the wireless system as installed on vessels, an effort Is being made to get a lower insurance rate on vessels thus equipped. They Didn't Have to Change. During the years in which our pure food laws have' been put Into effect there has been a great hurrying and currying on the part of the food manufacturers to change their methods to make them conform to the law. The Quaker Oats Company is a conspicuous exception. It was admitted that Quaker Oats was as pure and clean as possible and that it was an ideal 'food. It is so cheap that any one can afford it and so nourishing that every, one needs It The result of last year's experiments at Yale and other points where food values were tested is that Quaker Oats has been" adopted by many persons as their food on which they rely for adding vigor and endurance of muscle and brain. The Quaker Oats Company meets all demands in the way it packs Quaker Oats; regular size packages and the' large site family package; the latter both with and without china. is

TEMPERANCE FOLKS

I Today Members of Prohibition Party Are Observing Founding. LESSON TO WINDY CITY SUNDAY THERE WILL BE MONSTER PARADE TO SHOW CHICAGO THE REAL STRENGTH OF THE PROHI CAUSE, American News Service) Chicago, Sept. 24. Prohibitionists from many states in the Union, who have made the cau3t of scientific temperance the keynote ' of a political body, arrived in Chicago today prepared to swell the ranks of temperance advocates who will celebrate the fortieth anniversary cf the birth of the prohibition party. Twenty thousand "blue-ribboned" men are expected to be in Chicago when the celebration epens this afternoon at the Lasalle hotel. Yesterday an Informal reception to the visiting delegates was held at the headquarters of the party. The members of the political party on Sunday will join forces with the religious and social prohibition advocates will swell the ranks of the novel temperance and law enforcement parade which will demonstrate the strength of the antisaloon forces to the people of the city. One hundred thousand marchers, men and boys will march under the generalship of General Frederick Pent Grant, U. S. A. The prohibition party was organized in Chicago, September 1, 1869, but the celebration has been put back three weeks in order that it might be coincident with the civic temperance demonstration on Sunday, Old-timers who -s ere present at the birth of the party are expected to reach Chicago during the day and participate in the festivities. John Russell of New Haven,' Mich., who was temporary chairman of the first convention of the party and Samuel Dickie, of Albion, Mich., who was a prominent organizer will attend the anniversary. Snakes, for all we know, may be useful tilings.

We Think This Is Fair Warning Donf! You? Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copy.ight, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye THAT WORD OBEY." Slowly, but surely, the word "obey" is being eliminated from the marriage service. That word belongs to a time when woman was considered man's Inferior and was little more tbau a slave in contributing to his welfare. Now woman has found her place Side by side witb man. Today, in America, woman is on equal terms with man save only as to her right to vote. To put the question of obedience to her at the marriage altar is to ask ber to do what she baa no serious intention of doing. Why ask her to be dishonest? Marriage in its best terms is equality, it is or ought to be a full partnership. To ask one of the equal partners to obey the other is to' destroy the partnership or make a farce ol it. Either the word should be cut out of the ceremony or tbe bridegroom should be asked to make a like promise. Back in tbe stone age a man wooed his wife witb a club. Obedience on her part and tyranny on bis was tbe prevailing custom. The wife was a mere chattel. Something of a like relation still maintains in some European countries. Even in our own laws, copied so largely from the common law of England, are remnants of tbe old Idea that woman must always be under somebody's tutelage; that she is always and forever a child and needs legal guardianship. The idea Is a relic of absolutism. In America we began by declaring all men equal, .. We are, ending by declaring aH women equal to all men. And everywhere throughout the world, even in such benighted places as India. Persia and Turkey, woman is finding her proper place. Once denied education and subordinated as tbe plaything of man, she is coming to be his equal. Marriage is tbe union of equals. Instead of handicapping tbe woman, she should be permitted to contract on equal terms. Man and wife should set fcs obccUsnt to each, other, but END OF A RED NOSE.

Yearly Meeting Is Here And No Cool In Cellar

A LITTLE HISTORY The first ear of Pocahontas Coal that ever eame to Richmond was brought here by our company In 1893. A patient In the Benham Sanitarium, from the Pocahontas Coal fields of West Virginia, gave it euch high praise that we brought a car her for Dr. Benham that year. The third year afterwards we bought but three care, but from then on the demand steadily grew until It has displaced more than 2S per cent, of the hard coal for domestic use. We have so far this season already delivered a hundred cars of this coal, and have bought more, its popularity ia constantly growing as consumers become acquainted with its merits. Its highest efficiency is developed In the furnace and hot water plant and also as a steam producer. It is not adapted for the grate or cook stove. Its combustible qualities are so near perfect that it has derived the name of "Smokeless Coal." The U. S. Government makes this coal the standard by which all other coals are graded, and also is the greatest customer for this coal. Pocahontas coal la to the coal world what the stamp "Sterling" is to silver.
