OLD TEXAS IS SUNK

But Navy Men Are Trying to Raise Her.

D, G, REID ENTERS FIRE ALARM FIELD Is Behind International Electric Protection Com'pany, New York.

(Palladium Spoclnl) Xew York. March 22. Mehiiul the International Klectrin Protection company, which is the owner of the Electric Protection company of New York, I hat has recently entered the fire alarm field and has received a franchise to use the city ducts, Is the financial backing of Daniel (i. ("Itock Island") Held. The offices of the International Eject rlc Protection company are part of the Itock Island com

pany's suite on the eleventh floor of 115 llroadway, and the concern has become more or less of a pet Investment of Heid"8 from a banking point of view. It has entered a new field on the theory that the logical conductors of all signal operations are the telephone companies, and its baste, patents cover this point. This is the background of the many special alarm devices In which the company deals. Organized Last June. Tho International company was organized last June with a capital of $3.000.000 $1,000,000 preferred and $1,000,000 common. It Is the substantial and holding company, while the Electrle Protection company- of New York is a subsidary, incorporated under the transportation laws, in order to obtain franchises. The automatic alarm for which the franchise was obtained consists of improved and more delicate thermostats and a device by which the breakage or cutting of the wires will neither send in a false alarm nor put the apparatus out of commission. The test device in the offices of the company worked today In forty-five seconds from the heat of a newspaper burning in a brazier. While the franchise granted to the Electric Protection company applies only to Interior automatic alarms, it has raised the question, none the less, of the eflfeiency ol rhe whole firealarm system of New York, and, combined with the confusion resulting from the alarms turned in in New York for the recent dynamite explosion In Cummunlpay, has set those interested in the safety of the city thinking about better protection.

MEN WITH BIG FEET HAVE NORMAL MINDS Paris, March 22. That the majority of normal minded men have big feet and most normal minded women small feet Is the latest scientific discovery announced to the world by the Paris Academy of Sciences. It comes from Prof. Macaullffe and Murle, who, fof several months, have measured the feet of the French people in all walks of life. The found that eighteen out of ev cry one hundred soldiers were smallfooted and only twenty-four of every one hundred weak-minded men bigfooted. On the other hand they found that only twenty-three of every one hundred normal women were large footed, while only eighteen of twa hundred weak-witted women were small footed. This Is considered to confirm the ancient theory that woman is man's equal, for the reason that she is his exact opposite.

SEES BOTTLED STOMACH AT HOSPITAL Philadelphia. March 22 One of the recent callers at the American Stomach hospital here was J. B. Sykes of Cardston. Alberta. Canada, who wanted to take a look at his own stomach. "I hadn't seen it for a year," said Sykes. "It gave me an awful lot of trouble while I had it and I have got along well enough since. I once had a personal Interest in my stomach, and I wanted to see it in a glass bottle. If I had kept it would have been dead long ago." The doctors who removed the organ a year ago gave Sykes one month to live and told him he had about one chance in a hundred of surviving an operation. He took the chance. Now he enjoys three meals a day.

JOB FOR MASHMEYER Ex-deputy Sheriff Becomes Weigher of Mails.

Oscar Mashmeyer, former deputy sheriff and a well known resident of Richmond, has received an appointment as weigher of mails on the Richmond-Madison division of the Pennsylvania railroad. It is but a temporary position, to last probably about three months. He assumes his new duties tomorrow. Every four years, which is the length of time contracts are made with the various railroad systems of the country for the transportation of the mail, the government institutes a system of weighing the amount carried on all lines for the purpose of determining the basis upon which the new contracts shall be made. This work is now in progress all over the country and has been carried on upon the Richmond division of the Pennsylvania railroad for about three weeks. The work usually consumes a period of about four months. One of the weighers who started the work here was a substitute clerk in the railway mail service and a. few days ago he received a permanent appointment in the service. This left a vacancy in the weighing force. As Richmond is the terminal for the Richmond-Madison line a request was made that a man be appointed from this city. J. J. Stanley, of Indianapolis, chief division clerk in the railway mail service in whose department the matter fell, came to Richmond Monday and consulted with Postmaster E. M. Haas with the result that Mr. Mashmeyer was selected for the position.

LOCAL PHYSICIAN TALKS ON KISSES

Be Careful How You Greet Young Hopefuls, Dr. Markley Advises.

GIANTS AND PIRATES RE WORKING HARD

(American News Service) Marlin, Tex.. March 2'-. The NewYork Giants Tuesday started in to improve the last four days of their stay here, by hard practice. Yesterday's game at Austin showed that Mathewson still maintains his old-time speed and form, and Is in fine shape for the opening of the season.

PIRATES WORK HARD Hot Springs. Ark., March 22. The Pittsburg team, favored by good weather, is making rapid progress in its train inf.

No matter how bewitchingly a baby

smiles, or how enticing its dimpled cheeks, soft as red rose petals, appear, a kiss should not be implanted on its lips puckered into a pouting appeal, for therein is real danger. This is the assertion of Dr. Stephen S. Markley and it the first opinion publicly given in Richmond regarding the agitation which has resulted from the action of Queen Victoria of Spain in placing tags bearing the words "No me bese" (Don't kiss me) on her children. Such cards are now being attached to many American babies, especially in the east. Dr. Markley agrees with the Queen and other doctors who have been ardent supporters of the idea that kissing is not h3 gienic. He declares it is one of the best possible means for the transmission of disease germs. Persons with tuberculosis or other contagious diseases could very easily convey their affliction to a baby, or a grown person for that matter, by kissing. In the case of the mother and members of the family, Dr. Markley does not find serious objection to their kissing the infant if it is known that none of them have diseases which can be transmitted thereby, but even for the family members, the doctor recommends that the osculatory practice on babies be exercised on the cheek. The skin protection, exposure to the air, and the lack of warm saliva, in which germs thrive, as on the lips, makes the cheek, the doctor says, the most logical place for kissing. And he extends this recommendation to such of the population as have fancies, which in the springtime turn to thoughts of love. If kissing is done, the cheek is the place that is the tenor of Dr. Markley's opinion.

A definite settlement of the Eagles' carnival and the G. A. R. encampment controversy is expected to be effected at a meeting of the Eagle's committee and Lawrence Handley, Will W. Reller, and Charles W. Jordan, representing the executive committee having in charge the encampment arrangements to be held at 7:30 o'clock this evening. Members of the executive committee met in the Commercial club rooms last evening to talk over the matter, but owing to the fact that no information regarding the intentions or plans of the Eagles was obtainable it was impossible to take any action in the matter. The invitation of the Eagles' committee to confer with them this evening was formally presented and the above named three men were chosen to inform the lodge committee why the promise made to the old soldiers should not be broken. In view of the efforts of the Eagles

to bring a representative of the carnival company to the city to determine whether the dates of the show could be changed, members of the G. A. R. executive committee feel that the prospects for an amicable settlement, eliminating any necessity for a change in the present arrangements, are very good. A report of the result of the meeting with the Eagles' committee will be submitted to the G. A. R. executive committee, as a whole, at a meeting

Friday afternoon. If it is found that the carnival dates cannot be changed steps will be taken at that time to present the matter before the officers of the various state organizations with the request that the encampments be held the week of May 7, instead of the following week as is now the plan. Owing to the refusal of the officers of the Reid Memorial church to allow the meetings of the Women's Relief Corps to be held in the church edi-

Ifice, the committee is now looking

for a suitable place to hold the sessions of this organization. It is probable that the Gennett theater will be secured.

A Spanish Custom. It is customary throughout Spain for the waiters of cafes to fill a glass of wine or liquor 60 that it overflow upon the saucer. This custom, la which it is desired to show an appearance of liberality, is called "the foot bath."

GOOD BLOOD. Given good, clean, healthy biooa. Nature will do the rest with any case of catarrh, inflammatory rheumatism, scrofula, eczema, erysipelas, boils, pimples, scrofula, , or skin disease of , any kind. Good blood Invariably ' means vigorous appetite, good digestion and strength. Thus it stands to reason that an effective "alterative" or blood purifier, I while it will not cure all diseases, will help in fighting any disease and will cure those mentioned above, all of which comes from bad blood. Forty years ago Or. A. B. Simpson, of Richmond, was known as one of the most successful physicians in three states. His success was founded almost exclusively on one prescription, the most powerful blcod purifier ever known. After his death this prescription was regularly put up as Dr. A. B. Simpson's Vegetable Compound. It has been used extensively all over the country and in forty years has never failed, even in that most dreadful of all blood diseases, syphilid In its worst stage. And when an alterative will do that. It, of course cleans and rebuilds blood affected with other troubles. Simpson's Vegetable Compound Is purely vegetable and as harmless as it is effective. It is sold at $1 per bottle at all drue stores.
