About Time to Get Busy. Richmond physicians and residents of Spring: Grove are more than justified in their complaints against the delay in permanently improving the road washout at the north end of the Tenth street bridge. This deep cut has been filled just enough to permit the passage of a vehicle but, it is stated, the fill is unsubstantial and dangerous. So long as the roadway approach to the bridge remains in its present condition there is the possibility of a serious accident, in the wake of which would follow a suit for damages against the city. It is most important that the permanent repair work on North Tenth street be started at once for the principal reason that it leads to the main entrance of the Reid Memorial hospital, to which ambulances and physicinas in their motor cars must frequently make trips at high speed. Let the board of public works pinch 'itself hard enough to become thoroughly awakened and then put a gang at work on the Tenth Street washout.
Sure, Blame the Papers.

NECESSITY FOR AMUSEMENTS. The first thing a wise mother does for a fretful child is to amuse it and divert Its mind from its trouble. She sings sweet little songs, tells it fairy stories or Mether Goose rhymes, or calls its attention to surrounding objects. This Is the great value of what we call the "objective." A purely subjective mind, with no operative safety valve, is either deranged or on the borderland of insanity. Wipe out the objective and the whole world would go mad. No one understands this great truth in life better than those who care for the mentally defective. If the child could not be pleased with a rattle and tickled with a straw what would you do for it? Could you do anything if you failed to arouse any interest in its mind? This, I think, establishes firmly the legitimacy of amusements, whether from books, reading, games, the stage, music and singing, or outdoor sports. We are only grown up children and our natures demand objects to quiet and soothe the fretfulness that arises from the friction of daily struggles for existence.
No one ma-1 can Justly choose the kind of amusement his neighbor shall be allowed, nor what recreation or entertainment he shall indulge in on certain days. The great variety of Sunday entertainments now freely indulged in makes the Sunday question one of difficulty. We have our Chautauqua entertainments on Sunday and a gate-fee charged. A concession Is made to an outside man and he sells cigars, soft drinks and other articles on Sunday. We do not object. We permit many stores to open and sell on Sunday. We permit the public park, Glen Miller, to give entertainments and sell on Sunday. Boats are hired and paid for on Sunday. Cigar stores and card tables run on Sunday. This all goes to show how hypocritical we are If we oppose the finest and most elevating of all amusements, the Sunday picture show. For my part I look upon Sunday afternoon picture shows as decidedly moral and for the general good. Men who can laugh and be amused are the safest citizens. Such men Caesar wished to surround himself with, for he thought men who could not laugh would be conspirators and plotters. A good laugh Is both moral and healthful. A well entertained crowd is safer than a lot of bored men and women. A mob could be quelled If you could make it laugh. Laughter in babes, children and grown up men and women is the divinest thing in all the world and no day can be too good to indulge in it. EUGENE EDGEFIELD.
Last evening Deputy State Chemist Cravens, speaking before members of the Commercial club, made the statement that the
condition of the water supply of the city had been exaggerated by the Richmond newspapers. This was astonishing news to the newspaper men present for they knew the Richmond health department had requested the press to announce that there was some risk of contracting typhoid if the water supplied by the water works was not boiled. And the reporters also knew this request was made by the health department following information received from the state chemist that colon bacilli had been found in a sample of water forwarded to the chemist. In the wake of his statement that colon bacilli had been discovered, Mr. Cravens imparted the information that such bacilli
was usually associated with disease germs. Today the laymen who heard Mr. Cravens, very few of whom can tell the difference between bacilli and germs, even if they are properly labeled, are wondering what all the fuss is over, for they
faintly recall that the most alarming statements carried by the newspapers at any time were to the effect that the health authoriies had announced that colon bacilli had been detected in the water supply and that there was a possibility of contracting typhoid unless the water was boiled. "The newspaper statements concerning the condition of the water supply in this city have not been exaggerated," stated Dr. Davis, city health officer, this morning, thereby making it appear to a man up a tree very much like a case where a doctor and a chemist have disagreed and the newspapers used as a target. Also it looks as though the doctor had the best of the argument, and the Palladium most emphatically advises its readers to drink only boiled water until the local health officer and the state chemists can submit a unanimous verdict that the water supply is no longer contaminated. It's just as unpleasant to drink bacilli as germs, and at the time of going to press both sides in the controversy have admitted the presence of bacilli in the water.
REHEARSAL LAST EVENING. A rehearsal for the opera "Miss Bob-White" wan held last evening at the St Paul's Episcopal parish house and was well attended. Rehearsals will be held again this evening and also Wednesday evening. Tickets for the affair may be procured at the Murray theatre until Wednesday noon, after which time they may be had at the Westcott pharmacy.
RICHMOND GUESTS. Mr. Eli M. Wisehart was given a delightful surprise Sunday at his spacious country home near Hagerstown. The relatives and friends gathered at his residence in the morning and at noon a delicious two-course dinner was served. The dining room was artistically decorated with American Beauty roses and carnations. After dinner a special program was given consisting of readings and piano solos. Among the guests of the day were Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Hoover, Mr. and Mrs. Tilden Reece and daughter Tena, of Newcastle, Mr. and Mrs.

FAILED TO GET SEAT; IS TO LEGISLATE. (National News Association) CHICAGO, April 15. State Senator Edmund Beall today began preparing a bill for the legislature, providing that when a seat is sold for any amusement, the purchaser must be given a seat or his money shall be refunded. Senator Beall yesterday attended the Chicago Cubs-Pirate's game here with two friends. He bought three box seats for $ each, but when he reached the park the seats were occuDied. Beall sent his card to Charles W. Murphy, president of the Cubs, and three chairs were provided for the party in the back part of the grand stand.
CARD PARTY TONIGHT. A card party will be given this evening in the Moose hall. The game will begin at eight o'clock. The public is cordially invited.
Comparative Digestibility of Food Made with different Baking Powders Trom a Series of Elaborate Chemical Tests: An equal quantity of bread (biscuit) was made with each of three different kinds of baking powder cream of tartar, phosphate, and alum and submitted separately to the action of the digestive fluid, each for the same length of time. The relative percentage of the food digested is shown as follows: Bread made with Royal Cream of Tartar Powder: 100 Per Cent Digested Bread made with phosphate powder: 68& Per Cent. Digested" Bread made with alum powder: f67 Per Cent Digested These tests, which are absolutely reliable and unprejudiced, make plain a fact of great importance to everyone : Food raised with Royal, a cream of tartar Baking Powder, is shown to be entirely digestible, while the alum and phosphate powders are found to largely retard the digestion of the food made from them. Undigested, food is not only wasted food, but it is the source of very many bodily ailments.
