Comfort For Richmond's Customers. It is recognized by nearly all now that Fall Festivals, boosting, city advertising and all the methods now in current usage in the problem of town building has produced good results. Trade trips and advertising may be compared to the efforts of an individual business in the appropriation for selling and advertising. But what does the business man do in his own business when he has convinced his buyers that there is much to be found of interest in his Btore? What does he do when the customer arrives? Does he not greet him in person if possible? Does he not ask the men to leave their purchases In his check room and does he not provide chairs and other comforts for the women who are his customers. Those large department stores which have rest rooms, telephones, luncheon rooms, places to leave babies and many conveniences which are not found in many homes find no difficulty in drawing women and indeed men, to their stores.

What is good for any individual business is presumably good for any number of businesses. In this matter of treating a town as one business unit the live towns of the United States have met with what is sometimes called by editorial writers "signal success." That simply means in plain everyday American "they have made good."

Now what shall Richmond do with the many many people who do not live here who have found that buying in Richmond is the desirable thins to do? The trading center here is very well advertised. The cus

tomers have commenced to come from far off. Isn't it a pretty good

time to get down to the work of convincing our customers that are really wanted?

Heart tolHIeart Talks. By EDWIN A. ICY1L

Now that the Indianapolis Star has discovered that Indiana is for Taft, information given out by Old Guard leaders, it is receiving returns from the mere voters which indicates that Indiana is decidedly not for Taft.

Another veteran city employe, Rufus Newman, is to go on the retired lilt, but he will receive no pension as a reward for his devoted and efficient services during the thirty-eight years he served on the Are department.

Criticism of the health department for its drastic action to check the epidemic of rabies will now cease with the information from the state chemist that one of the dogs recently killed here had the disease in its most malignant form.

Prepare yourself, Mr. Business Man, for Turkey hash for supper this evening. The annual Yuletlde turkey orgy will then be over.

Harmony with a capital H our Democratic friends Bay will be the honored guest at all their township meetings this afternoon. Nevertheless the drivers of all the ambulanceB in the city are prepared for emergency calls. That oil inspectorship subject is still a very delicate one.

What has Richmond done what for that matter has any town done in the way of accommodations for the people that come into them to trade? The T. H. I. & E. brings many people into Richmond every day If there were no station here the townspeople would write us many letters on the shameful way in which the company treated the people of Richmond. They would justly feel that the company ought to erect a station. But what has Richmond in the way of accommodations for those people who do not come into town by way of the railroads what does it do for those who make the greatest effort to come here? It will not do to say that these people have come here and that they could not go some place else to trade. The point must appeal to the enlightened selfishness of the town that the oftener these people come and the better pleased they are with the town the better collections are going to be and the .oftener will stocks be turned over. These two things are not all but they are enough in themselves.

THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH PLACES FOR MEN TO HITCH IN RICHMOND. THERE IS NOT A GOOD PLACE TO SHELTER THEM FROM COLD AND NOT A GOOD PLACE TO SHELTER THEM FROM HEAT IN SUMMER.

WORK! Work, my son, never killed any one. You need not be afraid that you may overwork yourself". People may die because they work all day and drink or dissipate or gamble most of the night, bat they do not die of work, my sonnet of work. Work is good for you. Good, honest, healthful labor will make you sleep soundly, eat heartily and digest easily. It will make Sunday a welcome day and a holiday worth while. Work makes men.

Did you ever think, my son. that the men who least need to work are the men who work the hardest? Why? Because it is a pleasure to work. One is happiest when employed. To be compelled to loaf is to a real man a heavy- punishment. . If you would, be a man work. You cannot show me anywhere a lazy boy or man whom anybody respects or who amounts to anything. Work. Find out what yotf best like to do and then roll up your sleeves and work at it with all your might and main. It doesn't matter much what the work

may be so it is honest and suits you. Work at your work. Whether you use a pen to write or a shovel to throw yellow clay out of a ditch. . whether you preach and pray or paint a house or paddle a boat or run a peanut stand, you must work.

Work hard. The busier you are about your work the less mischief you will do. the happier you will be. the more dollars you will make and the more good you will do in the world. Do not shirk. When you play you should work at your play, but you should never play at your work. Work while you work; play while you play. 1 All manly men work. Look about you. Note the men whom you respect. Note those the world is proud of. What sort of men are they? Tell me. Workers every one! There is nothing finer in all the world than the joy a man may find in the work of his hands or of his brain. He is doing what he was Intended to do. Work!

FOLLOWED THE DIAGRAM. The Motorcar Tourists Rewarded the Man Who Drew It. An amusing practical joke which was played by a Canadian farmer on a party of motorcar tourists is described In Suburban Life. The farmer had drawn a diagram to show the automobilists how to proceed through the little known country. "For five miles." writes the author of the article, "we followed the countryman's diagram and then came to a piece of road which was atrocious.

Great was our surprise upon drawing up in front of the house to find our countryman, his wife and several children out in the middle of the road to meet us. They all looked at the car with wondering eyes, and the smallest child hung to her mother's skirts and howled with fright The other chil dren fled to the house and peeked out of the window. "Our friend the countryman said: Well, I most run my horse to death to get here before you did. I wanted the kids to be sure and see this critter. They never saw one before.

vToo Much Toothbrush. It is possible to err in the direction of a too free use of the toothbrush. 'Once a day for three minutes is sufficient" writes a dentist in the Family Doctor of London. "Even in using a toothbrush once a day it is better not to rub it directly across the surface of the teeth, but to slant it. holding the point down so that it cleans the spaces between the teeth as well ns the front of the teeth and removes the full force of the contract from the teeth. I have had many patients who have literally rubbed the enamel from their teeth by the excessive use of a brush. The average person uses a brush too much and not too little. In addition to being careful with the brush, It Is also Important to see that the bristles are soft and not hard. Tooth powder should be used only once a day."

in 1912 if Mr. Taft is our candidate? Where are we to go to make up our losses? "As Indiana Republicans, we are at a point where it behooves us to move with extreme caution in matters of organization as well as the selection of candidates on all tickets. Let us 'make haste slowly." We must not invite defeat."

Richmond friends of "Our Jim" Watson are now paving the way for an announcement of his candidacy for the congressional nomination. "Why wouldn't he make a good congressman what is wrong with his record?" they ask. Time and space prohibits a reply.

This Js My 64th Birthday

The Palladium believes that the merchants and the council can work together with advantage with the co-operation of the Commercial Club and the Young Men's Business Club to mako Richmond a comfortable place to come to. The first step is adequate hitching and feeding stations. The second step is a real comfort station, fit for women and children to use in charge of a competent matron. This ought to be planned in conjunction with the other. This would pay many many times over.

CHICAGO BISHOP WAS CONSECRATED

DUKE OF NORFOLK.

The Duke of Norfolk, the premier Deer of Great Britain, was born in

Carlton Terrace, London, December 27, 1847, and succeeded to the peerage on the death of his father in 1860. His family is the oldest Saxon nobility In England and were anciently the Herewards. As earl-marshal of England the Duke of Norfolk arranges the processions of state on occasions of royal coronations and the like ceremonies. Although immensely wealthy, the duke is one of the hardest worked men In England. He has served faithfully as county councillor of London, as mayor of Sheffield and as postmaster-general of the kingdom. His Grace, who is a zealous Roman Catholic, takes great interest in all matters relating to his church. In 18S7 he was appointed by Queen Victoria as her special envoy to attend the jubillee clebratjons of Pope Leo XIII.

(National News Association) CHICAGO, Dec. 27 In the presence of a distinguished gathering of clergy and laity Rev. William E. Toll was consecrated Episcopal bishop suffragan of Chicago today. The ceremony was performed in Grace Episcopal church. Bishop Toll was elected to the office several months ago, being the third suffragan bishop chosen in the United States. He was ordained in this city in 1871 and has been archdeacon of the Chicago diocese since 1907.

LAUGHTER. How It Has Been Defined and Some Folks Who Never Tried It. What Is laughter? An American humorist has called it "an undignified widening of the human mouth, accompanied by a noise resembling a cough in the effort to avoid swallowing a chestnut" "Laughter," says Professor Sir

Many Kinds of Knives. An extraordinary thing about the cutlery trade is the variety of knives

made. At the Suffolk works in Sheffield, for Instance, they have 10,000 different patterns on the books. They make sometimes 3,000 patterns to order at one time. The same thing is true of the large cutlery works at Solingen, in Germany. One firm has 9.000 patterns for Germany alone. New ones are constantly coming out The Suffolk works have averaged ten new patterns a week for two years. This is a trade that will not be standardized, which is one reason why America has failed hitherto to compete.--Cassier's Magazine. f The Important Question.

"The idea that Mr. Taft would be renominated has resulted largely from the assumption that he would have the solid support of Southern delegatioas. As a matter of fact Southern Federal office-holders and politicians are vitally interested in nominating a Republican who can and will be elected so that they may continue to hold their offices. Consequently they are

preparing to desert Mr. Taft's banners by sending uninstructed delegations to Chicago.x
