Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN . A. NYE.

What is the Real Reason ?

The question has come up as to whether meter rates or flat rates or both shall be the basis for the bids of the companies competing. it is a larger question of public policy than the effect on any one or a collection of consumers. In fact it affects the whole water supply of Richmond. The present officers of the water works have been free to confess and assert, publicly and privately that the waste of water would be materially decreased if the water were metered. It does not take much knowledge of human nature to realize that nobody thinks of turning off a faucet if be does not have to pay for the water. ' Mr. Dill asserts that the original cost of the meters and the setting of them is the deterrent on the part of the company in the case of universal use of meters. But the cost of meters is only a matter of a few tens of thousands. Considering this it would be fair for all the water works' to distribute the cost of meters over all consumers a small burden in 25 years. Considering tfiat a policy of conservation of water will save the company many thousand dollars if the present water supply can be made to supply the city this expense would seem to fall to their appropriation for plant extension rather than anywhere else. And for the citizens, the desirability of continuing to use the present sources of supply rather than falling back on river water seems not a bad bargain. A more practical illustration of a legal instrument's effect on conservation would be hard to find. We have not considered the company's wear and tear on machinery nor the additional reservoir facilities probably needed if the natural growth of the town shall keep on with the present percentage of wastage. The anxiety of Mr. Dill to cut down the amount of free water to be given the city, yesterday afternoon when he showed the amount of water consumed at school buildings, public parks and at the city building, may have been merely a disposition to gain a minor point but it did not appear so. It makes a considerable difference to the small consumer as to what the minimum rate is to be in case the meter system is adopted exclusixely, but our opinion is that the original cost of installation is not the main reason for the hesitancy of the Richmond City Water Works to look kindly on a meter service. It is not a fact that the small consumer on a flat rate furnishes over half the revenue? An investigation of this situation might do much to decide an equitable basis for water rates.

BROKEN SWORDS. "Heroes fighting with broken swords are all about you." So said my author. And I began looking about me, with astonishing revelations. I found he

roes and heroines fighting the battle of (

life with blunt weapons. Some of them? - A woman comes to our house to do the family washing a cheery little woman who never complains. On inquiry I found that she had accomplished as much as fourteen washings, mall and large, in a single week. For several years her husband has been bedridden, and the) little woman has bravely supported the family. Shu fights with a broken sword. Also I learned something of the life history of the sewing girl who occasionally helps the women of the household. She is a handsome "old maid" who might have married long ago but for the fact that she Is the only 'breadwinner for an old mother and a decrepit aunt And there is the man who hauls away the ashes. Five years ago his wife died, leaving him with four small children, one an infant In arms. I know that when the two older children of this man go to Sunday school they are as well dressed as any. ( talked with him. He saya he never spends a cent upon himself and that the children are good children and the oldest does the housework and all love their "daddy." He says be quit smoking his pipe because be was afraid it took the bread out of the mouths of the children. Our ash man Is a hero! And I thought of an old bachelor bookkeeper In an office adjoining mine downtown. Once when he was young be loved a girl and wanted to marry her." but he was the sole support of two helpless old ladies, and the girl would sot wait And so for years he has plodded away at his books, giving bis wages and his very life to these decrepit relatives. Fighting with a broken sword! And on the day I learned these things concerning the heroes and heroines about me my friend told me of a carpenter of his acquaintance who. after doing a day's work, works extra at night, denies himself needed sleep and Is wearing out his life to educate his children. Loyal fighters all! It la easy enough when silver bugles sound the challenge of the charge and the ' flag above you ripples In the breeze and comrades touch elbows to do the daring deed, but to fight alone and with broken sword that's different These everyday heroes lead the forlorn hope day after day and do battle with blunt or broken weapons.

LOVE ONE ANOTHER. How beautifully is it ordered that, as many thousands work for one, so must every individual bring his labor to make the whole. The highest is not to despise the lowest nor the lowest to envy the highest. Each must five in all and by aJL Who will not work neither shall he eat. So God has ordered that men. being in need of each other, should learn to love each other and bear each other's burdens. G. A. Sala.

Many Have Tried Before. The announcement comes from Chicago that the "old guard" are in possession of the Republican National Committee. The committee is expected to proceed with steam roller tactics. In other words all Roosevelt delegates with contested seats will be thrown out. This looks more certain than ever since the announcement that the newspaper . representatives will not be allowed in the room when the committee does the deciding. In ordinary times this might avail. We have no doubt that the Taft leaders are ready and willing to steal the nomination by these tactics but if these gentlemen wish to insure the election of Theodore Roosevelt they can take no better course. They are handing him the election plus the nomination. How will it be done watch Teddy! If you want to know how it will be done just reflect on what happens when you touch off a powder magazine. Some of the gentlemen now trying to sit on the lid will not be there when the smoke clears away.

A COR?US CHRISTI FESTIVAL IS HELD , (National News Association) VIENNA, June 6. Vienna today witnessed the customary elaborate celebration of the festival of Corpus Christi. The festival was instituted, in 1264 in honor of the Consecrated Host and thought it is generally observed by Roman Catholics everywhere, in no other city Is the celebration of such a splendid character as in Vienna. The custom for the Emperor of Austria to take part in the procession was begun in the seventeenth century by Ferdinand II, who by his presence succeeded in putting a stop to the conflicts between Catholic and Protestant mobs, with which the ceremonies in those days were almost invariably attended. This ceremony has been observed ever since by the Emperor of Austria.

STATE DEMOCRATIC EDITORS ASSEMBLE . (National News Association) FT. WAYNE, Ind., June 7. The men who work the year round to keep the Democratic party , in the Hoosier State in good fighting trim gathered here in force today at the opening of the annual meeting of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association. The national campaign and the important part that Indiana expects to play in the Baltimore convention have resulted in an unusually large attendance at the meeting. The editors will remain in the city three days. The big feature of the program will be a banquet and public meeting tomorrow night at which Governor Marshall and other prominent party leaders will speak.

Out of Sorts THAT IS, something; is wrong with baby, but we can't tell just what it is. All mothers recognize the term by the lassitude, weakness, loss of appetite, inclination to sleep, heavy breathing, and lack of interest shown by baby. These are the symptoms of sickness. It may be fever, congestion, worms, croup, diphtheria, or scarlatina. Do Yiqt lose a minute. Give the child Castoria. It will start the digestive organs into operation, open the pores of the skin, carry off the foetid matter, and drive away the threatened sickness.

Genuine Castoria always bears the signature of

When Death Coole Hie Sting. There Is a curious superstition In Jamaica that if a death occurs in the house all the water In it is poisoned at once and must be thrown away, the reason given being that Death cools bis "sting" after destroying life in the Mrst water he finds, and as no one can tell death being invisible what jar be may choose it is safest to throw it all away. Careful people to save trouble even carry all water out of the bouse Immediately before a death la expected.

Editor Palladium: We are again warned to muzzle our dogs for 90 days after a short vacation. Dogs are animals. Some of them are almost human and are just as safe to be around without muzzles as some people. The next three months will be warm and flies will be tantalizing. If the dogs that have to be muzzled do not go mad they will be exceptions. The notices were printed in the papers with an official's name attached, whose official capacity usually extends as far as signing a name. There are dogs in Wayne county that never have been muzzled and are not now. They are the no-account, good-for-nothing sort of curs, that run around over the country through the day, and belong to nobody, but always head in at the same place at night. As long as such conditions exist, rabies will exist. There are dogs that are of a great benefit to their owners on the farm and help pay their way. but their owners are people who fear and obey the law. If there is a law where are its enforcers? If part can live by the "unwritten law" why not all? There have been dogs run down and killed

for mad dogs simply because the scare was in the country and to add to the excitement. For instance one valuable hound was run down and killed, who when unmuzzled by its owner to feed it. realized its freedom and started for a hunt, as is natural for that breed of dogs. Every week there is a child In Richmond bitten by a dog. which is nothing new. Such instances always have taken place ever since children and dogs played together, but it never wag published weekly before. Anything for excitement We who have useful dogs would like to see the quarantine shortened to 30 days. We join with others in saying we need a humane society. Your Country Cousin.

Age has Its attractions no less than youth In a more serene and quieter life. But it Is this very lire of rest without sufficient exercise that brings with it those disorders that arise from Inactivity. Chief of these are a chronic, persistent constipation. . Most elderly people are troubled In this way, with accompanying symptoms of belching-, drowsiness after eating-, headaches and general lassitude. Frequently there is difficulty of digesting even light food. Much mental trouble ensues, as it Is hard to And a suitable remedy. First of all the advice may be given that elderly people should not use salts, cathartic pills or powders, waters or any of the more violent purgatives. What they need, women as well as men, is a mild laxative tonic, one that is pleasant to take and yet acts without griping. The remedy that fills all these reaulrejnenta. and has In addition tonic
