"Rubbings" on Paper From Anoient Tablets and Monuments. Chinese men of letters are exceedingly fond of ancient records In tb6 Bhape of long scrolls of paper "rubbings" from famous stone tablets and monuments. The Lin Li Chang stationers of Peking are extensive traders In these. They send special agents on long trips to shrines or arrange with the local people at the place of a noted monument to take paper rubbings from it The usual rubbing Is a field of black where the face has been Inked, the lettering cut Into the marble remaining white on the paper rubbing. To the foreigner In China rubbings from the tablets the one left by the Nestorlan Christians at Sianfu, In Shensi. about COO A. D. and the Mohammedan tablet are especially Interesting. Those from the tablets at the temple of Confucius at his burial place, Chefoo, in Shantung, are among toe collections of th5 Chinese man of education. So many rubbings have been taken from several of the tablets which bear line portraits of Confucius that the lines and the letters on the etone have become so faint that the government has prohibited further rubbings being taken.

Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale University finds that "a distinct benefit results from thorough mastication of food, when It Is done naturally and not laboriously, with the attention on the taste and the enjoyment of the food, and not on the mere mechanical act, Itself." To learn to eat slowly we must give it some attention. It may even be necessary to fix upon a definite number of chews for each mouthful till the habit of thorough mastication becomes well established, when the chewing may be left to take care of Itself, like every other good habit. It Is said that Gladstone once adopted a rule to chew thirty times, from whose good results Mr. Fletcher got the suggestion for his campaign of education. Many good habits are established by first giving painful attention to a process, which in time becomes habitual, and Fltcherlztng Is no exception. (Copyright. 19U. by Joseph 8. BowVssJ

A REPLY BY HOSPITAL BOARD

To the Common Council of the City of Richmond. Gentlemen: The board of trustees of Reid Memorial hospital has given due consideration to the action of your body approving the report and recommendation of your committee appointed to investigate the hospital. It is gratifying to our board to know that no fault is found or suggested in the real work the hospital is designed to do; that no criticism is made of the care and attention given the patients or any condition found in the institution and that your committee has recommended the hospital in language we quote from its report as follows: The criticisms made and the recommendations of your committee relate to matters of plan of organization, the powers given the superintendent, the location of the hospital, and other like matters which do not involve the care of patients in the institution or the real hospital work it was designed to accomplish. It must be manifest to all that no good can come of the hospital by now discussing its location and plan of construction, nor additional facilities which its increased work has made necessary. We have explained to your committee that which all our citizens who have been interested in the hospital know, that the location was selected by our generous fellow citizen I who gave it to our people; that the in corporation was in form to meet his approval and that of our generous citizens who contributed to its furnishings; the plans were adopted upon competitors proposals and we have had no reason to believe that all these were not satisfactory to our citizens generally. It Regrets Criticism. We deem it proper to express to your honorable body, representing as you do all our citizens, our regret, that at a time when our hospital was doing splendid work and meeting the demands and expectations of our people who have availed themselves of the benefits, that there has been published the kind and character of criticism which has been made, and with the spirit manifested by some of the citizens toward the institution, which altogether has made it almost impossible for us to maintain any effective organization to carry on the work for several months past. We wish in justice and fairness to ourselves, to deny emphatically and without reserve, any and all suggestions contained in your committee's report that the hospitaf board has at any time had any purpose or intention to in any way deceive your honorable body about anything connected with the institution, or to withhold any fact which you would care to know. We have said to your committee and now repeat to you gentlemen of the council that we have not the slightest objection and have never had, to making our reports as full and detailed as you may wish us to do. We have upon the suggestion of your committee taken up with the Richmond City Water Works the question of the obligation- of the water company to supply water to the hospital free under its franchise contract with the city. The company denies its obligation to furnish free water to us on the ground that the hospital is not supported wholly by the city and that it is not situated in the city limits. The company further says that they charge us nothing for lire protection and that they are giving us a rate onethird less than their regular rate. Defend Superintendent. One of the criticisms of your committee's report is that our superintendent is given too much power. If the superintendent is as capable as ours has proven herself to be, she must necessarily have comprehensive pow ers to properly manage the institution. The experience of you gentlemen of the council as business men, will, we feel assured, suggest to you that for the proper management any institution must have a responsible head and that In a hospital like ours the superintendent must for effective management have powers to direct the detail of the work and personally have charge of and power to govern the help. As an executive, as a capable and U. THIS DATE

conscientious officer,- she has fully , tQ tne requirements of the place. t-ue of the hospital and the paItients therein has always elicited the

very highest commendation from the patients and their friends and by our always faithful and excellent Ladies' Aid Society; who are always in close touch with the institution, and we respectfully dissent from the conclusions of your committee in this regard. We have complied with the recommendation of your committee in procuring an office assistant to have charge of the books and to assist the superintendent in the business side of her work. We would have taken this step before such recommendation was made except for the reason that it involved an added regular expense which we felt we could not afford to incur. Defense of The Board. The principal recommendations of your committee and those which alone have excited controversy relate to the plan of organization as set forth in our articles of incorporation which provide for its governing body as a self perpetuating board. There never was any design or purpose in this plan l except that the board should be com posed of reputable citizens who were sufficiently interested in the benevolent work to make them willing to devote their time and ability to the'work without other compensation than the public benefit and to keep the institution forever free from sectarian or political influence. Since the city has been aiding us in the maintenance of the hospital there has been no objection on our part to the city's having any fair representation on the board of trustees which it might think fair and just. We realize the entire propriety, when the city is contributing money for the support of the institution, that it should have representation on the board to see and know hqw and for what purposes the money is expended, and we are entirely willing and we will be glad to provide that the city shall have two representatives on our board as representatives of the city as recommended by the committee's report. Some years ago upon suggestion of your honorable body Mr. Henry Deuker, who was chairman of your committee on finance, was elected as a member of our board and continued as such and as direct representative of the city until his time as member of council expired, when we elected Mr. Engelbert who succeeded Mr. Deuker as chairman of your committee on finance to succeed Mr. Deuker on our board and he has ever since been and is now such member, as .we understand, as the representative of the city. The report of your committee leaves two material matters undetermined and which must be determined before the recommendation can be carried out. First, how the members of the board to represent the city shall be chosen and, second, when they should be elected. Under our articles of incorporation it will be necessary that our board elect these trustees. ' This, however, is not a material matter as the members chosen will of course be elected. We feel assured that the members of your honorable body feel as we do a genuine interest in the welfare of the hospital and that you have no purpose to do anything in afTecting a new organization which will effect or in anywise interfere with its effective work. It will be manifest to you gentlemen upon the mere suggestion that the men selected to represent the city should be men not antagonistic but who could work in harmony with the remaining members. We are not advised whether the two members of our board to represent the city will be chosen from members of council, city officers or citizens not connected with the city administration. Asks Prompt Action. If your selection shall be from your own members or from the officers of the city we shall be pleased to elect any such you shall be pleased to nominate to us. In case, however, council shall deIN HISTORY' To Your Doctor Dandruff Ayers Hair Visor just as promptly destroys the germs that cause dandruff.

termine to select such members from citizens, then we respectfully ask that you "refer the matter of selection to such committee as you may select to be reported to and approved by council. In offering this suggestion we disclaim any purpose or design than this; that we may have a harmonious active board which may meet with the expectation of our citizens and fulfill the design of your committee in making the recommendation. In considering the matter of the city representative on the board we ask that council determine whether you wish to retain Mr. Engelbert, chairman of your committes on finance, as "one of your representatives and select one other a member of council, city officer or citizen, or whether you wish to discontinue your present representation and select two other members of council, city officers, or citizens. As to the city's representation on our board we see no reason why this change should not be made as soon as it can reasonably be done. One of our members, Mr. S. S. Strattan, Jr., whose changed business relations has taken him out of the city a great part of his time, has tendered his resignation and we could therefore give the city its two representatives on our board as soon as your selection is made. Physicians on Board. As to the recommendation of your committee, that in addition to the two representatives of the city on our board, we also provide for and elect two physicians as members, we have not changed our views as expressed in your open meeting to which we were invited. We do not now believe it wise or for the best interests of the hospital that this be done. A considerable number of our citizens have come to members of our board and protested against it and we do not believe such a demand is approved by our citizens generally, and especially by those who have given most attention to the institution. We do not intend to enter into any discussion of the reasons upon which our judgment is based; any such discussion cannot result in any good to the hospital but necessarily must result in animosity, which result should be avoided and is farther from any wish of ours; for these reasons therefore we have avoided all controversy in the newspapers or elsewhere. We wish' it distinctly understood, however, that our judgment is in no way influenced by any spirit or feeling of animosity toward any of the physicfans of the city. On the contrary we recognize that their influence and cooperation is in every way desirable and we invite and will be glad to have their advice and active co-operation in the management. As we understood their dissatisfaction with present conditions, it is because they do not have a voice and influence they claim they ought to have on the school board which has to do with the nyrses training school, and that they should have two members on the board of trustees. As to the school board and their voice and Influence there that matter can be arranged so that all reasonable complaint can be avoided. As to their representation on the board of trustees we do not feel that this is at all necessary to accomplish and give them the measure and influence and voice in the management which they claim they ought to have and we believe that such a result would be better and more satisfactorily attained by another plan which we respectfully recommend to council as follows : A Suggestion to Council. Let all the physicians In the hospital select in such manner as may be agreeable to them an advisory board to consist of five, seven or any number they may determine; that such board be the representatives of all physicians to our board ; and that they be notified and privileged to attend all our meetings and advise and co-operate with us in all matters affecting the management and of Interest to the hospital. We will be glad to welcome such a repreentatlve board and co-operate with them in all matters affecting the institution.

fective organization we respectfully submit is not our fault. That the com mi t tee to represent the staff to oui board, although regularly notified and invited to our meetings have failed to avail themselves of the privilege to attend and advise with us. This we also submit is not our fault. No board or sepresentation can be effective If not active and we believe and so represent to your honorable

body that a representative board of ! physicians chosen and constituted as recommended above, if made active as it may and ought to be, will be in every way more effective, and furthermore will give the physicians interested in the hospital a very much larger and more potent influence in the management in every way than with two members on the board of trustees; and J by such a plan contention among themselves as to who the representatives on the board should be as has already been manifested between those who belong to the medical society and those who do not, would be avoided. Unprejudiced Judgment. We recommend to you gentlemen of council this plan as in every way better to accomplish the end sought; and we respectfully submit that our years of gratuitous service to the hospital with the information and experience I gained thereby ought to entitle our I judgment, free as it is from rassion, I prejudice or unworthy motive to some 'weight fn your consideration of this subject. If upon consideration of this recommendation your honorable body shall not adopt it, but shall demand that we provide for and elect two physicians as members of our board we will do so against our judgment and only because council demands it of us. We need the help of the city to maintain the hospital. We feel it our duty to foster cordial and friendly relations with the officers who administered the city affairs, and who represent all our citizens, and assuming as we do, and we believing that you gentlemen of the council accord to us honesty and sincerity of purpose and with no motive but the good of the hospital, we feel that we have neither -forfeited your respect nor friendly interest by having stated our views candidly and frankly as we have believed it our duty to do. If upon further consideration as above stated you shall demand that we elect two physicians on our board then in such case we respectfully ask that you make provision for it in such way as shall be fair to us and to the institution. We invoke, gentlemen, your fair and just consideration of our suggestions made in this communication. As before stated they are made in no spirit of antagonism toward any citizen or class of citizens; we have no axes to grind and no purpose other than the purpose of the hospital, its upbuilding and prosperity .In every way.
