"Richmond will have an army re-

rcruiting office at least through the

month of March," said Corporal Wll-

fliam Hern, bead of the local statelon, as he admitted James Fox, 22. to tbe

United Btates Infantry, after the youth

ful aspirant for military fame, had passed the elimination prescribed by the corporal. After several days of

inactivity, the recruiting station be-

came quite a lively place late Saturday afternoon, for in addition to Fox, two other would-be warriors tried the test but both were unsuccessful because of physical weaknesses. With the addition of Fox to the list of recruits secured here in February, Corporal Hern has completed the prescribed work for the month, and is certain of being retained in tbe City for another thirty days.

APPLYING REASON TO DIET. "Neither eating nor drinking can safely be left to human understanding or custom," say Dr. Elmer Lee. "The science of living begins at the mouth, and as s man eats and digests, so Is he." In the primitive stats appetite would be a complete guide, but the conditions of 1 1 v. Ing are so artificial that Instinct needs to be supplemented by reason. This Is universally admitted In the case of sickness although Instinct Is often super lor ts misguided reason In Indicating when net to eat, when the sick ars tsmpted by unnaturally severed dlshss and the gen. oral practice of tho diet cure Implies the use of reason In the selection of food. Improvement In transportation and In agru culture and Ingenuity In feed fabrication have combined to Increase the variety of foode far beyond what would be natural under primitive eondltlone; and as It has been clearly shown by authoritative experiments In physiological chemistry that each particular food requires Its own time and method of digestion and elimination. It must fellow that sacesslvs mixing of foods at the same meal tsnds to the disorganisation of nutrition, the meat ssrtouo penalty of which la malignant disease.

MEN HHP RELIGION Movement Will Positively Be Started Here, Soon.

An eight day "men and religion forward" campaign for Richmond within a short time is now assured, as a result of decisions reached by the Richmond ministerial association at its meeting this morning, and at a men's"

meeting at the Y. M. C. A. yesterday afternoon. Agitation pver the campaign, which is planned to raise standards of citizenship through spreading Christianity, was begun by H. H. Yobe, executive secretary of tbe Indiana state campaign, who gave three talks on the possibilities of the movement, yesterday and today. Before the Y. M. C. A. meeting and the ministerial association, Secretary Yohe reviewed the recent campaign at Indianapolis, where in 8 days, noon meetings were held in all tbe large shofjs, factories and schools, and over 4,000 men were actively interested in tbe work. The result of the campaign was that the noon gatherings were made a permanent feature of shop Work in the state capital, for tbe men themselves voted that they bad been helped in becoming better workmen through being given something good to think about. The state secretary pointed out tbe fact that as Richmond has a well organized committee to head tbe work.

this city can very easily organize a campaign now, with the purpose of strengthening the local churches, aad bringing religion into every day life.

PIPEELECTROLYSIS Considerable trouble is being experienced by the Light. Heat and Power company by electrolysis, which is rotting the gas pipes and mains on Main street, both east and west of the river. Tbe company has been working on the pipes on Main street for some time and has spent quite a sum of money in remedying the damage done to the pipes by tbe current from the car rails.

All for the "Little Ons. "So be It. then," she exclaimed. "We will each take half of the wedding certificate, and I will go my way and you will go yours. We will. get a divorce!" "So be It he said, coldly. But suddenly she sank to her knees, although her voice rose. "But tho child! The child!" aho cried. Tbe child la mine!" He laughed cruelly, and replied: "Novak! The child Is mine. Dldjxt you yourself .Insist upon T?"ffg Mm after me?" ' Heart-rending! Heart-rending! "The child Is mine!" The child Is mine!" ' With a scream of anguish she caught tho fusty little animal to her heart, and cried: "Then wo will not separate!" Aad so a little dog reunited them.

SCHAEFERJO PLAY Son of Late Billiard Wizard Is in the City. Jake Scbaefer the great young billiard star will make his first appearance in Richmond Tuesday night at the Elks Home. Arrangements were made yesterday for Jake to show his skill there and special permission has been granted each member to Invite one friend to tbe lodge rooms to see the exhibition. Jake's father, known the world over as the "wizard of billiards" was always very anxious to have his only son follow his lead and take up the game he loved so well, in fact he was so much wrapped up with the idea that he did everything he could to make young Jake like the game and work hard to master It. But Jake, jr., had a different way of thinking and it was not unil six months before his father died that "Buddie,", young Jake's nickname, took the advice of his dad and started to work hard at the game. At the time he started, two years and a half ago, he could make a high run of 35 at straight rail

; and would average about 3 at the

same style of play. He has improved so fast in the time he has been playing that his high run is now 56 at 18.2 style of play and his high average is 22. made in a game with Calvin De-

i marest, the former champion of the

world. Last fall a trip was arranged for Schaefer and Demarest to take them to the coast and on that trip Jake beat

Demarest 5 times in 14 games played, j

He had the high average of the trip and until the team reached San Francisco he held the high run. Demarest made two runs of over a hundred there and took the high run honors. Great billiard critics have watched this boy play some of them coming a long way to see him, and all say the same about him, that he will be champion at an age when most boys are still going to school. Tbe game will start at 8 sharp.

Schaefer's opponent bas not been selected but tbe best player at tbe club will be booked to play him.

HAVE NyUTHORITY State Railway Commission Explains Position. Because of the inability of the state railway commission to legally intervene in their behalf, members of the new East End Improvement association lost the first round of their fight to secure better street car service. In accordance with the promise to aid the east enders in securing better service, the state commission investigated the local situation. Its finding, however, was that as the east enders want improved city car service and not interurban service, the com

mission had no authority in the mat

ter. The residents of the county east of

town made some advance through their struggle with the car companies, according to a statement made by President N. S. Cox. for the interurban

line has voluntarily increased the num

ber of local cars, and thus bas made the service more efficient especially

in the "rush hours." , The improvement association has not yet determined what action it will take to have city cars run out as far as the driving park, but officers of the association are considering the possibility of working in conjunction with the recently named joint committee from the Commercial club and Y. M. B club.

WORK HOURS TOO LONG FOR EVERYBODY

More Time Than Necessary Taken in the Pursuit of the Elusive Dollar. More Leisure, Not Money, What the World Needs.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. People work too much. This sounds heretical but Its the truth. That is, on the average. Hours are too long, too little time for tbe practice of the art of living, too meagre hiatuses in which to cultivate the soul. The other day the supreme court of the state of Ohio declared constitutional the law of that commonwealth limiting the hours of workingwomen, in certain industries, to fifty-four hours a week. Nine hours a day. Nine hours each day is too many to devote to tbe doing of one thing. No human being should devote nine hours each day to work. Compared with former conditions

when employers drove their employes like so many cattle on and on and on to the point of exhaustion, twelve to ifteen hours a day nine hours seems almost milleniumistic. Arnold Bennet in his novel "Clayhanger" draws a terrible picture of a little boy of seven years, going to work at four o'clock and working until ten at night in tbe English mining district all this time in a foul den crowded with other children and men. This, of course, is a thing of the past. But there are conditions in this

country at present which are not less evil in comparison. The child labor in the cotton mills and other industries, for one. A social sore that will never be healed by anything less than a Federal law. One of the measures introduced and fought for by Albert J. Beveridge in the Senate of the United States but which was defeated by "the interests," whose lobbies, while not as flagrant and conspicuous as at one time, are Btill constant and devious in operation. And it is all attributable to one thing human greed. The acquisition of money should be limited to a certain amount by the Btate. When a man had builded up a fortune to a legitimate point, he should be ruled out. For no man can earn, legitimately, more than so much. Fortunes like those of Carnegie and Rockefeller are a disgrace.

It puts the rest of the world to a certain extent in the position of being pensioners on their bounty. And despite their gifts to education and philanthropies no two harder employers than these ever existed. The men in the steel mills formerly operated by Carnegi were no better than slaves. As stated before too much time is

taken up in the pursuit of the dollar

too little in leisure and contemplation. la Richmond, in instance, eight hours is long enough for anybody to work at anything. Six and seven enough for most. There is daily the ridiculous spectacle of business men going to work at half past six and seven o'clock. Clerks hustling along in the dawn. Workmen plodding to the factory long before daylight. And what for? We all die in the end. Competition may be the life of trade. But its the death of humanity. And under monopoly, the foundation of the structure the men who do the actual producing fares no better. Herein is the special beneficence which obtains through the medium of the labor union.

The limiting of the hours of work and the standardization of wages. Almost all unions have the eight hour limit. And forty-eight hours conbtitutes a working week. There are some which make it nine hours and a few ten. Here is where what is termed "labor" has the advantage over those who work in "the business world." The latter are at the mercy of their employers both in the matter of hours and wages. And that they are screwed down to the lowest point is known to the most superficlaal observer. It is the heart and core of the famous "servant problem."

Women are hard employers. The average woman has less mercy on those under her supervision than the average man. There are, "of course, the exceptional cases but this Is the rule. Women don't like to work for women. . The average housewife, with one servant, say, is a tyrant. The domestic in a household is supposed to possess more versatility than a ten-twenty-thirty repertoire actor. She is expected to cook to the varying taste of every member of the menage, to keep the house spotless from attic to cellar, to answer tbe door (at which time she must look like a French maid in a play although she has come up from the laundry where she Is doing the weekly wash), to keep the children days and evenings when the mistress goes out, to, in short, do duty as cook, maid, nurse, butler, footman and all around slavey and at perhaps three or four dollars a week. Her hours are anywhere from Ave In the morning to twelve at night and often later if the menage is a hospitable one and entertains more or less frequently. Then if she loses her temper on oc

casions she is denounced as "grouchy," "impertinent" and "sassy."

She has, in addition, to put up with

much arrogance from madame and others of the household. She is a human being and doesn't like it. She does an amount and variety of work which argues her a good deal of a connoisseur in household art and

yet she is thrown to the discard under the general head of "kitchen mechan

ic." And the mistress of the household, or the proprietor of the business may be accounted a "good" woman or man so understood, regarded by both

themselves and their friends as pos

sessing all the Christian virtues. Mayhap go to prayer-meeting and lift up their voices in song and prayer

with every consciousness of absolute

rectitude. May pass the plate and contribute liberally to the support of local charities. May, indeed be agreeable and well meaning persons. But it is nonetheless the truth, that often these are they who are tho crud

est and most unrelenting in their at

titude toward employees under their direction. It is the disposition of the average

employer to screw every bit of work

out of people for tho, least

aible. ,

aiu i vtuw uumaa qnaui; uw nan been brought to bat by the labor aa ion. What's the use anyway of slaving and moiling and toiUng to make a few cents profit. Why chase a penny round town sad run a quarter to cover. , Why screw and pinch and starra and bully tor a beggarly halt per cent at tho end of the year? Why concentrate every physical energy and every mental endowment to the acquisition of shekels which your relatives will be quarreling over before your breath has left your body? Why not take time off to read and walk and ride and enjoy life in a sane, normal manner? ; it Thrift and a certain eye tor tho main chance are necessary In the world as things are now.

Tho Sedan Chair. The sedan chair is named after Sedan, the town where it was first used. The earliest mention of It in England ! occurs in 1581. Early in the following century the Dake of Buckingham caused much Indignation by Its use In London. People were exasperated at that nobleman employing his fellow men to take the place of horses to carry him. Prince Charles brought from Spain In 1623 three curiously wrought sedans, two of which he gave to the Duke of Buckingham. A few weeks after their Introduction Masslnger produced his play, "The Bondman," and In It he thus adverts to the ladies: For their pomp and' car bains born In triumph on men's aboukters. The reference la doubtless to Buckingham's sedan, which was borne' like a palanquin. "Bygone. England."
