COFFKI HAILS ARE GIVEN KIIOCKOUT

Jones Hardware - Company Refuses to Employ Men Who Smoke Cigarets.

1 Discovering through actual experienc that the habitual clgaret smoker becomes dull, erratic and reckless, the Jonea Hardware company of this city, perhaps the largest retail hardware establishment In the Ohio valley states, of which Sharon K. Jones, president of tho National Hardware Dealers' association, la the head, has taken an advanved step among retail dealers by refusing to employ young men who are addicted to the use of 'pills." The rule was adopted, not because the railroad companies in most instances have done so, but because the company found that those in its employ who were using cigarets to excess were not performing their duties equally as well as those who abstained. "In our experience the minds of clgaret smokers" Mr. Jones said, "seem to become dulled; they become neglectful of their work, and finally erratic and reckless In their business dealings. Furthermore as the company has to protect itself from liability, the decision was reached to give the clgaret smokers opportunity to stop the habit or else cease working with the company. The majority 'wore off for good when the rule went Into effect." The use of smoking tobacco in other forms, such as in a pipe or cigars, la not encouraged, nor discouraged. Cigar and pipe smoking cannot be indulged in by employes while on duty. So satisfactory has been the result of the company's antl-clgaret campaign that among its hundred or more ei.V ployes the clgaret smoker can not be found. Ettablishts Example. The Jones Hardware company is perhaps the first Arm in this city to establish so rigid a rule in regard to the personal habits of its employes. But the results are being watched by the other business men with a great deal of Interest and it la not unlikely that other firms, who employ many men will follow the example' of the hardware company. The same attitude is maintained against "boozers" by the Jones Hardware company. This Is not unusual In Richmond as several retail establishments will not employ men who stimulate their nerves with "eye-openers," whether whisky or beer. When an application for a position Is made with the hardware firm, the following application blank form is banded the applicant with instructions to fill it out: Date . . . . : Name . . . . ; Address . . ; Age'....; Married? .... Trade Present occupation . . . . ; Former employers . . . . ; Heason for leaving them . . . . ; References . . . . ; Health Height Weight Do you drink? ; Smoke cigarets? ....; Names of parents

AMERICAN GIRLS L ACKSEHT I M E FIT Novelist Oppenheim Says They Are Beautiful, but Decidedly Cold.

New York, June 23. Having had a Jolly, well entertained stay with us for six weeks, you know, E. Phillips Oppenheim, rapid fire novelist, sailed on the Oceanic yesterday. In his rooms at the Majestic he talked of many things before he left. Mostly It was about women our own American women, you understand, with a flutter of comparison now and then that brought in British and French women. And he was surprising, this British novelist. We are so used to having our American women lauded by foreign visitors of distinction that when one of them drags forth his little hammer why, the jolt is almost enjoyable. It may be said the English novelist was at no time brutal. His hammer had a velvet cushion on the head of it, but he was busy with it, just the same. "Deucedly Self-Contalned.'" He put his hand half-traglcally to his forehead when he began about the women : "Pretty beautiful? O, yes, yes; I should say so. But they're too much for me. They're well, they are so deucedly self-contuined; so bally well sure of themselves, don't you know. They are such a stunning combination of beauty, new hats, cocktails and self-concentration. "Do you know," added Mr. Oppenheim, with bated breath, "I think the fair American creatures are totally devoid of sentiment. And there you are really. I've been around a great deal In my six week's stay been to Boston, New York, Newport and other famous spots, and have seen a good deal of American society and American society women, and rwell, that's my opinion. Thy are totally devoid of sentiment. They do not suggest and of that charming trait of femininity which requires that somebody

must be ground making love to them. "An American girl doesn't need anybody to make love to her. If she feels the necessity she can create the situation, believe me. "All she cares about is to know where she can positively find and possess a man to buy her hats. Apparently she must always have new hats. She can get along without sentiment, but If life is worth living with her it must be crowded with hats, hats, hats. "It is different with the English woman. She prefers sentiment always. She can get along happily with last year's hat, but if you take away this year's sentiment she will mope greviously. Fact, I assure you. The novelist, who is a trim littel man with a semi-bald head and a cynically turned mouth, looked wholly in earnest. ' "They are not intellectual," he said, "but they are dreadfully inquisitive. They ask so many searching questions they suggest the Intellectual, but they really are only inquisitive. But, by the same token, they are highly stimulating. Back to Placid English "I'm really quite afraid of them, you know. They work a fellow so hard, you know. Yes, I'm going right home to the dear, placid sentimental English women. Not but what your girls are stunning. "But they all seem so devoid of sentiment beautiful but cold. They have been compared to French women, but that's absurd. French women have no Intellect whatever. They don't know anything and nobody wants them to. They are just attractive and stand simply on the good old platform of their sex. And that isn't disagreeable to a fellow, you know."

Your Kitchen Stove Your oven bakes the bread in a dry heat. It evaporates part of the moisture and this is allowed to escape from your oven. It bakes the crust to a crisp and the heat is then unable to penetrate to the center of the loaf. The result is a moist loaf the center is only half baked. Then stove heat is uncertain. One day it may be much greater than the other. You have many things to contend with at home.

Our Steam Ovens Our ovens bake the bread in live steam. They are made with low roofs and are very tight. So moisture rising from the bread is retained in the ovens. Every particle of natural moisture is baked right into the loaf. It is perfect bread. Our heat is always the same. Steam maintains a uniform temperature at all times. We have every advantage in the steam oven over . your kitchen stove. Naturally we can bake better bread.

BUT IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT

You could bake bread just as delicious as ours if you had the facilities.

have spent thousands of dollars in constructing these special ovens. Of course there are centain other ways we can bake better bread. We bake thousands of loaves every day. This enormous business enables us to buy our flour in greater quantities and direct from the mill. The bread is delivered to you fresh from the ovens every morning. You can buy it at your grocer's in the early morning. And we bring back ever)' loaf not sold the day before. Isn't it better to have fresh bread every day?
