AS A KERCAIITILE HET RICUD

IS GROUIGG FAST Stimulated by the Fall Festival the Local Retailers and Jobbers Have Made Excellent Advances. EXPANSION IS SHOWN EVERY TWELVE MONTHS Old Ultra-conservative Methods Are Being Discarded and Larger Fields Are Being Opened Up Now. Ia considering the value ot the Fall Factual to tha clly of Richmond tha Panic Proof City thara It no ona department In which thle can be mora than In tha mercantile world. No doubt tboee who profit moat by thla annual trade-getting crowd-bringing event are the merchants, both wholesale and retail, for while many come to bur from the retail dealers, there re many others who take advantage to come here and buy atocka of one kind and another from the wholeaale men. Thla leada up to the one thing that Is dealred to emphasise in thla article the advantagea ot Richmond as a mercantile center, the large aise and full equipment of her establishments, her progressive methods and the strong effort that la made by the merchants to meet every reasonable demand of the trado and serve the public In the best possible manner. It Is this spirit of progresslveness and friendliness combined that haa made the Quaker City notable for its stores retail and wholeaale. It being looked upon In a number of lines, as fully as desirable a place to buy a stock of goods aa Cincinnati, Indian spoils or Dayton, O. A Marked Advance. Every year Is showing a marked ad vanee In the mercantile life of Rich mond; every year Its merchants take some .step forward; every year the number of buyers Is Increased: every year the trade territory contributing to thla city la enlarged, and It may be aid that no email factor In thla. la the Fall Festival It Is an added In ducement and encouragement to the merchant to keep a better atock of goods, to keep a better store la every way, because he knows that thousands will visit him who have never visited him before and he naturally wants them to come back; and they win If they have the proper encouragement. To this forward mercantile) movement the present year Is no exception and there la much In the mercantile field to encourage and to point to - still further accomplishments. It is feot possible In the space at' lotted here to enter Into a mention ot every mercantile enterprise In the city, but It will be necessary to take them rather as a whole. The year haa been one In which there have been many changes made In the way of bettering the stores, one of the most notable being that at the Hooslor Store, where the George Deuker stock' waa purchased and the rooms occupied by him combined with tboee already occupied by the Hooeler, which took a long time lease on the building and haa converted It Into a modern department store ot ample equipment and up-to-date atock. The Improvement by this store haa been one not only to Ita benefit but also to the benefit ot the city, as the Improvement of the old Phillips theater building adds greatly to the appear noes at 81xth and Main streets. Many others ot the establishments have made Improvements, either la the interior or exterior arrangementa providing better lighting systems, erecting new signs and doing a variety ot things that separately do not attract great attention but which collectively would represent a 'vast amount ot work and the expenditure ot thousands of dollars. Seme Changes. Among the changes that have taken place the past year among the bustneat houses. In addition to changes at the Hooeler. Is the Incorporation of the Lee B. Nuabaum Company, Chaa. Ixlemsn. a very successful and clever young business man becoming a member ot thla firm with which he had so long been connected; and the purchase) ot the building occupied by the Bee Hive Grocery Co. by the J. M. Essssneyer Co., which then bought the grooery and Is now conducting It under the old time namethe Bee Hive. The Allen Furniture Company found It necessary to increase its atorage quarters and to accomplish this leased ' ground Immediately la tho rear ot the store and erected a bcSSni that Uvea It ample quarters. The Komey Furniture Company also neslsd Increased quarters . for ston , las faraitaro and has secured rooms In Cae b2a3 that waa formerly used by. tha CsRer Cracker Company. Aneag the other change and lmrroveaexts are tho purchase ot tho KswtSrk hattSa? on llala street by K'.:lael Qley. who waa thus enatUi n Increase the quarters ot his tlrirtng eras berrnees by the addltin ct anther room; tho installa

Hall hat and suit store; improvements In the front of the room occupied by Emmons A Company; remodeling of the room occupied by the Klelhorn Millinery store, making it

thoroughly modern; a new front in i the room occupied by the Brehm millinery store, North Eighth street; Improvements to the rear of the People's store at Ninth and Main streets; the erection of a three-story business building at Fifth and South A streets by A. W. Gregg, three business rooms to occupy It; addition of a repair ahop at the Morel-Bricker garage. Main street; purchase of the business of the Richmond Dry Cleaning company by Cash Beall; retirement ot Edward Chauncey from the Richmond Dry Cleaning company and his venture In a third business of that nature; establishment of a new Jewelry store by Fred Kennedy who haa been well received here, and the location of a drug store at South Eighth and E streets by Clem Thlstlethwalte. In this connection It Is Interesting to note that the Jewelry business now conducted by O. E. Dickinson Is sixty years old, making it one of the oldest establishments ot any kind in the city. Whet the Plans Are. It Is known that for the coming year there is In contemplation a large number of other changes and improvements that will Include the erection of some new buildings and will still further emphasise the Importance of Richmond as a commercial center. It la apparent there Is to be a gradual growth of business toward the east, and while the corner of Eighth and Main streets may never lose Its commercial importance, that other corners, perhaps Tenth . and Main streets may vie with it in this regard. Talka with the merchants representing practically every line show they are very hopeful for the future; that they appreciate the efforts that are being made to bring business to Richmond and that they will do their part in this great work ot the commercial development of one of the best cities In the Nation Richmond, tho Panic Proof. TO FIGHT OFF COLDS Inoculate Ones Own Dead Baccilli is Experiment London Physicians Work On. DEVELOP AN ANTI-TOXIN London, Oct. I. Several big London hospitals recently began to extensively practice prophylactic Inoculation against colds. ' It consists' in Injecting hypodermically a few million" dead bacilli. The first step Is to find to what particular group of germs the patient la moat susceptible. In the lungs of one person pneumococcl may be the cause, In another the bacillus of catarrh and la a third streptococci. "We," said one . of the physicians "manufacture the serum from some ot a patient'a own germs. Specimens are obtained and carefully Isolated and grown to the required numbers. Then they are killed by heat and millions of them Injected. Here they develop An antitoxin which temporarily, at least, prevents the patient from being attacked by similar germs. "If the person is la perfectly good health we try to obtain samples of the germs most likely to attack him by taking cultures from the, throat and nose. Cold microbes often lurk in the nasal passagea and about the tonsils for months after the organal attack, only waiting until a chill or physical strain temporarily - lowers .Immunity, so that they auddenly multiply, and cause fresh colds. By being inoculated with the preventive serum the patient may often be rendered immune to colds throughout the winter." Whet Makes Mirrors fUflsett Mirrors that are made of glass have metal placed on one side of the glass. The light will pass through the glass, but will not pass through the metal backing. Light has the property of bounding from a surfsce that it cannot penetrate, the same aa a ball would when thrown against a aurface that It cannot penetrate. The light passes through the glass of the mirror, meets the metal backing and then bounds from It This bounding of the light from the metal surface is called reflection, and mirrors are said to reflect.

WIFE BEArc HUSBAND He Weighs 130 and Asks Divorce From Spouse Who Tips Scales at 195. HAD A ROUGH EXISTENCE. Chicago, Oct 1. A big, muscular wife weighing 195 pounds can' hit a right lusty blow as well as wield bottles of milk, sugar bowls and various pieces of tableware. That at least is the opinion of Isadora St&hl, who himself weighs only 130 pounds. ' He thinks It unfair to pit a lightweight against a heavyweight In matrimonial fisticuffs, so he has petitioned Judge Dupuy In the superior court to set him free from Mrs. Annie StahL Little Stahl claimed that on several occasions his fair, but husky spouse beat him up terribly. ' Saya She Liked to Fight. "She had a great temper and fought with me every chance she got." said StahL "Whenever I would fall to get the theater tickets she had asked for she would beat me up terribly. "She pounded mo on the head with a broom, threw a bottle ot milk at my head, which when I dodged struck me on the arm. "My arm waa sore and I could not work for some time after. - - "One time she poured a plate full ot! soup over me. and when I kicked against that kind ot a bath she struck me In the face and made my. nose bleed. - She liked automobiles and fine clothes." v

THE CENTURY HARK HAS BEEN PASSED BY RICHMOND AND WAYNE COUNTY. YESTERDAY MIGHTY PRIMEVAL FORESTS CAST THEIR SHADOWS OVER THE FEW LONELY CABINS OF THE STURDY PIONEERS. TODAY THESE FORESTS ARE GONE: ONE LONE CABIN, PRESERVED : AT GLEN MILLER PARK, STANDS, A RELIC OF THOSE YESTERDAYS. TODAY THE WAYFARING STRANGER FINDS WITHIN THE BORDERS OF WAYNE COUNTY A HUSTLING, THRIVING CITY OF TWENTY-THREE THOUSAND INHABITANTS; HE FINDS SEVERAL SMALLER BUT GROWING AND INDUSTRIOUS COMMUNITIES; ALSO BROAD, FERTILE FIELDS, AND EVERYWHERE HARDWORKING, HAPPY, WELL-FED AND PROSPEROUS PEOPLE. RICHMOND, THE COUNTY SEAT, PASSED THROUGH ITS DORMANT ERA SOME THREE OR FOUR YEARS AGO. WITH ITS SUBSTANTIAL FOUNDATION FOR BUSINESS AND PROSPERITY IT HAS BEEN GROWING BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS SINCE THEN. ITS GREAT MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES HAVE EXPANDED AND NEW ONES HAVE COME TO THE CITY. IT HAS ADOPTED THE MOTTO "THE PANIC PROOF CITY" AND LIVED UP TO IT. IT OFFERS EMPLOYMENT AT GOOD WAGES TO ALL OF ITS CITIZENS AND WANTS MORE CITIZENS TO FILL JOBS. TO PROVIDE FOR THESE NEW CITIZENS THE CITY IS NOW EXPERIENCING THE BIGGEST BUILDING BOOM IN ITS HISTORY. OUT IN THE COUNTY DEVELOPMENT HAS KEPT PACE WITH RICHMOND. FARM PROPERTY TODAY HAS REACHED THE HIGHEST VALUATION IN THE COUNTY'S, HISTORY. RICHMOND'S STEADY GROWTH HAS NOT, AS IS OFTEN THE CASE, BEEN TO THE DETRIMENT OF THE SMALLER NEIGHBORING TOWNS IN THE COUNTY. CAMBRIDGE CITY IS A HUSTLING AND SUBSTANTIAL COMMUNITY; HAGERSTOWN NOW HAS ONE OF THE BEST MANUFACTURING CONCERNS IN THIS SECTION OF THE STATE, EMPLOYING QUITE A NUMBER OF MEN, AND THE TOWN HAS EXPERIENCED QUITE A BUILDING BOOM IN THE PAST TWO YEARS. THE RICHMOND FALL FESTIVAL HAS BEEN AN INSTRUMENT IN MAKING THE RELATIONS BETWEEN RICHMOND AND ITS NEIGHBORING TOWNS, ALSO THE RURAL SECTIONS OF THE COUNTY MORE CORDIAL AND BINDING IN FACT RICHMOND PEOPLE AND THE PEOPLE OF THE COUNTY OUTSIDE OF RICHMOND HAVE, THROUGH THE MEDIUM OF THE FALL FESTIVAL, LEARNED THAT CO-OPERATION IS 'ESSENTIAL TO PROGRESS. ASA PBOOF OF THIS SPIRIT OF "ONE FOR ALL AND ALL FOR ONE" IF YOU ARE SO UNFORTUNATE AS NOT JO LIVE WITHIN THE. BORDERS OF THIS CENTURY OLD COUNTY, VIGOROUS AND ENTHUSIASTIC IN ITS RENEWED YOUTH, VISIT THE FALL FESTIVAL THIS WEEK. , YOU WILL SEE THE CITIZENS OF RICHMOND ENTERTAINING THEIR COUSINS FROM THE SMALL TOWNS AND FARMS AND SHOWING THEM THEIR MERCANTILE AND MANUFACTURING ESTABLISHMENTS; AND, IN TURN, YOU WILL SEE THE MASTERS OF RICH FARMS EXHIBITING TO THE RICHMOND PEOPLE THE PRODUCTS OF THEIR FIELDS AND THEIR LIVE STOCK, AND YOU WILL SEE THE CITIZENS OF THE COUNTY TOWNS PROUDLY DISPLAYING THE FRUITS OF THEIR ENDEAVORS. THERE WILL BE MANY EXHIBITS IN RICHMOND DURING THE FALL FESTIVAL, BUT THE BEST ONE OF ALL THAT WAYNE COUNTY WILL SHOW ON THIS ONE HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY OF ITS BIRTH, IS THE DISPLAY OF "CO-OPERATION" TO BE IN EVIDENCE EVERYWHERE.

Fall and Winter Styles For Milady's Coiffures

Tho hairdressing styles for fall and winter are strongly Inclined to the youthful wodes; in fact, some ot the coiffures might almost be called Infantile. - Everywhere curls rule. The crown of the hair Is surmounted with puffs and curls, with ringlets falling over the temples and concealing the ears. This simple calotte or turban mode has disappeared entirely and when the coronet or, according to Its new name, the tortillon is used. It is coiled higher about the head and tighter, though not symmetrically. - In all the new styles of hairdressing there is no decrease of the use of false hair. In fact, if anything a greater amount of it Is required. What haa been discarded Is the stiff and unnat CLIENTS St. Louis, Mou. Oct. 1. The bitterness of the contest over the liquor Question In Missouri Is shown by the following advertisement of a large real estate firm which has been appearing in dally papers thla week: "As our business Interests are opposed to the constitutional amendment prohibtthig the- manufacture and sale of liquors, to be voted on at the November election, wo request that our clients who will vote or use their influence for the adoption of this amendment notify us before Oct. L 1916 as we desire to close their accounts and oar basiaess relatione with them. "We win not consent to being placed in a false attitude on this question with our tenaata or others,'"

More frequently than otherwise the hair is parted la the center. If the natural hair is not sufficiently thick to permit this flat adjustment a false piece is worn. Often the first banding of the head Is done with a flat twist or spread of the Ions hair. From this point the dressing is built up in a succession of tiers. Sometimes there Is a fancy baadean of ribbon or metal band, and above this the loosely plaited switch. Tho crown piece Is omitted. Ringlets fall over the ears In the quaint old fashioned style. The short forehead bang or fringe Is still slightly worn.

George Downey, living on a ranch south of here, conciuaea mat going about in a wagon waa a bit alow 'for a rich rancher, so he went to Omaha and bought a 13,500 touring car, paring; for it in hard cash.

Now, however, Downey is again ridirg oehlnd a spaa of horses and the automobile la under root until numerous . new parts can be secured from the factory.

Dow ney shouted, but the animal took this for a challenge to fight "and started toward he machine. Downey put on tho high speed and the bull did the same. There was a crash, and out of the dust and smoke that tho seen the bull stood ovqr ta)
