One Dollar Pays Twenty-seven Debts A $1 bill changed hands twenty-seven times in five days during a pay-up campaign at Bel

ief ontaine, Ohio. The bill paid the obligations of

more than two score of men and finally was re

turned to the man who started it on its pay-up

journey. A slip of paper was atfeched to which each person who used the bill signed his name; Scores of merchants in Richmond would welcome the visit of a $1 bill, sent out on a mission of debt-paying, and some of them would not kick if they had to send it on to the next man by a special messenger boy. We wonder what the man who started the bill at Belief ontaine did with it when it reached the port of his pocket after its journey.

. Haste Makes Waste A fourteen-year-old boy jumped on a crowded street car in New York to apply early for a job he had seen advertised. The only foot-hold he

could find was on the rear coupling. The car

was rammed by another, and the boy was nipped, losing both legs. The lad showed enterprise in starting out early to obtain a job, but he lacked judgment in jeopardizing his life. Many persons lack this valuable quality. A cool, well balanced judgment often is a greater asset than enterprise which lacks forethought. The old adage says, "Haste makes waste." We see its application every day in the world about us. And Stili They Bite . A number of women of this community were swindled in a ' "get-something-for-nothing" scheme worked by a Minneapolis crook who believed in the old dictum, "a sucker is born every minute." They, sent ten cents for a silk petticoat said to be valued at $4.75. Part of the payment was to be in the form of the names and addresses of five friends to the woman sending the money. The swindler received replies from thousands of women. He kept a force of clerks busy opening the envelopes and counting the coin. Before ths federal agents arrived, the swindler had-disappeared.i, Now fifteen govern-; ment clerks are , wading through thousands of letters that were left unopened. There certainly is something vseduelfvely " attractive about ; a scheme of this kmd for every time it appears in a new variation, thousands respond with their

money. Persons who bite ought not to be censured but to be pitied, for putting themselves on the hook.

France Calls Loudly For Aid "Perfidious Albion" was once the; reproach hurled at Great Britain. Today France is calling loudly for aid, and the world wonders what England will do. Phillippe Millet, a French military critic, has called on Great Britain to take over more of the western front. He says words can

not be minced and that the alliance of Great Britain and France cannot rest on an exchange of

courtesies and of diplomatic compliments.

The French are wondering whether England

knows the condition of France. British soldiers are holding only 150 kilometers of the front, compared with the 580 kilometers the French are holding. , Millet says, "There is not one village in

France where the people do not expect our

friends to enable us, after twenty-seven months' hard struggle, to have some rest during the third

winter and prepare for an advance next year

without having to exhaust ourselves." German military critics have asserted right

along that France has practically exhausted her

quota of men and cannot put more soldiers into the field. If the cry of Millet is true then France herself is admitting what the Germans claim and the number of men at disposal for first line service is drawing to a close in France. England , has been exceedingly fortunate in sparing her men during the campaign. When she did send large forces of men into action they were more than decimated by the Germans. England, as every one knows, is financing the war. ; Perhaps, she believes if she is furnishing the money for' the slaughter, her allies ought to furnish the human life it will take to crush the Germans. Even if the Central Powers have been forced to relinquish some territory along the Somme and have failed at Verdun, the gains for the Allies have been so inconsequentially small in comparison with the amount of men butchered and the amount of munitions expended that the Teutons still are in a better position today than the Entente Allies are after twentyseven months of fighting. Germany has asserted all along that she has all the men she needs. She admits that the Allies

caught her napping when they started the Somme

drive, but. she, alsp asserts that the dearth of big guns and munitions has., been met in the mean- j

time and that the Allies can-make further gains at the same price they have paid along the Somme if .they ; care so tq. dp, . That, Germany cannot be starved into submission by "England has been amply demonstrated, reports from a special correspondent of a New York newspaper indicating that Germany is in better position now than she

was fifteen months ago to meet the food problem.

FOUR GAINS HIGHER HONORS WITH EXHIBITION

Edgar' Forkner, who has gained a wide reputation for his water colors in the past few years, gained additional notice last week when he held an exhibition or his paintings in tho Washington State Art Association galleries in Seattle. Mr. Forkner will be in Richmond soon. For the past eight years he has been dividing his time between Chicago and SeatUe with incidental trips to Richmond, which he considers his home. He was formerly one of the Richmond group of artists, and is now a member of the Water Color Society of the Art Institute of Chicago and of the Water Color club of Seattte. Prefers Outdoor Themes. When here, he was one of two artists who followed their art with water colors, and like the other Richmond artists takes outdoor themes, preferring the woods, fields and water fronts to any other subject Part of a criticism from a Seattle newspaper follows: "No collection of paintings could have a more optimistic note or express a lovelier spirit of nature in her cheerful moods than this array of some fifty scenes in and about Seattle. Mr. Forkner literally paints sunshine. It is not obtrusive sunshine, but Bteals in among the. trees and rests lovingly upon the waters of the cozy nooks he has preserved In this locality. One feels Instinctively the nature worshipper in these pictures. They are like Henry Van Dyke's wood romances there is subtle, Intimate life in. the art of them. "There are a few pictures of the Middle West in which sunshine and shadow play delightfully. In these sketches the skies are briught blue. The Puget sound paintings are many of them those quaint grays the artist loves to paint. - One does not tire of these and they are the kind one can live with and have for close acquaintance."

! 'AMUSEMENTS AT I LOCAL HOUSES !

THE GOLD OF THE GODS DV A "RTWrrR VI TDrTT7T7 (A Mystery of the Incas Solved by D 1 AlVi nUIV O. V rLf Crafc Kennedy, Scientific Detective)

"Say," ejaculated Leslie, "this thing

begins to look lerle to me. How about that piece of paper that I sent to you

with the warning about ye curse of

Mansicne ana the Gold or the Gods,

What if there should be something In

It I'd rather not be a victim rf this

curare, if it's all the same to you, Ken nedy."

Kennedy was thinking deeply. Who

could have tent the messages to us

all. Who was likely to have known

of curare. I confess that I had not even an Idea. All of them, any of

them, might have known.

The deeper we got Into it, the more dastardly the crime against Mendoza seemed. Involuntarily. I thought of the beautiful little Senorita, about

whom these terrible events centred. Though I had no reason for it, I could not forget the' fear, that she had for Senora de Moche, and the woman

as she had been revealed to us in our

late Interview.

I "I suppose a Peruvian of average j Intelligence might know of the arrow poison of Indians of another country," I ventured to Craig.

"Quite possible," he returaed.atch-

ing Immediately the drift of my'

thoughts. "But the sboeprlnts indicated that It was a man who stole the dagger from the Museum. It may be that It was already poisoned, too. In that case the thief would not have had to know anything of curare, would not have needed to stab so deeply if he had known."

' I must confess that I was little further along in the solution of the mys

tery than I had been when I first saw Mendosa's body. Kennedy, however, did not seem to be worried. Leslie had long since given up trying to form an

'opinion and, now that the nature of ithe poison was finally established, was

glvd to leave the case in our bands. As for me, I was Inclined to agree with Dr. Leslie, and, long after he had left, there kept recurring to my mind

! those words: ' . t . .

Beware the curse of Mansicne on the Gold of the Gods. "I think I will drop in to see Senorita Mendora," considered Kennedy, as he cleared up the materials which

he had been using in his investigation of the arrow poison. "She is a study to me in fact the reticence of all

these oeoole is hard to combat."

As we enter the apartment when the Mendozas lived, it was difficult to

realize that only a few hours had

: elapsed since we had first been IntroirinrAri to this strange affair. In the

j ball, however, were still some reportrs waiting In the vain hope that some J-fragment of a story might turn up. I "Let'd have a talk with the boys," 'suggested Craig, before we entered the

Mendesa suite. "Alter an, tne newspaper men are the best detectives I know. If It wasn't for them, half our

murder cases wouldn t ever be solved, i As a matter of fact, yellow Journals' I are more useful to a city than half the

detective force." i

Most of the newspaper men knew Craig intimately, and liked him, possibly because he was one of the few people today who realized the very important part these young men played in modern life. They crowded about, eager to interview him. But Craig was clever. In the rapid fire of conversation it was really he who interviwed them. "Lockwood has been here al ong time," volunteered one of the men. "He seems to have constituted himself the guardian of Inez. No one gets a look at her while he's around." "Well, you can hardly blame him for that," smiled Craig. "Jealously isn't a crime in that case." "Say," put in another, "there'd be an interesting quarter of an hour if he were here now. That other fellow de Mooch whatever his name is, is here." "De Moche with her, now?" queried Kennedy, wheeling suddenly. The reporter smiled. "He's a queer duck. I was coming up to relieve our other "man, when I saw him down on

the street, hanging about the corner, his eyes riveted on the entrance to the apartment. I suppose that was his way of making love. He's daffy over her, ali right. I stopped to watch him. Of course, he didn't know me. Just then Lockwood left. The Spaniard dived into the drug store on the corner as though the devil was after him. You should have seen his eyes. If looks were bullets, I wouldn't give much for Lockwood's life. With two such fellows about, you wouldn't catch me making goo-goo eyes at that chicken not on your life." Kennedy passed over the flippant

manner in view of the importance of the observation. , - t "What do you tMnk of Lockwood?" he asked. More Tomorrow. Mrs. Ruth Fuller, of Elmwood, who observed her eighty-eighth birthday, exhibited a birthday cake which was made by her sister in Duxbury, who is ninety-three. .

MURRETTE Frank Keenan, whose forceful characterizations since his motion picture debut have won him millions of new followers, soon will be seen In a new type of role when he is presented by Thomas H. Inee on the Triangle programme as the star of a vivid drama cf the South entitled,- "The Thoroughbred," at the Murrette tonight. This is a Triangle play from the pen of C. Gardner Sullivan and is expected to show Keenan's remarkable versatility more than has -any-of his previous

vehicles. - . Those who have had an opportunity of witnessing Boyle Woolfolk's latest success, "Six Little Wives," the Musicar Tabloid at the Murray; tomorrow, Friday and Saturday, have commented upon the seeming facility with which the sextette, from which the show takes its title, speaks the various lines in foreign language allotted to them. Thereby hangs a tale. The "Six Little Wives" is by Will Hough, author of "The Time, the Place and the Girl," "The Stubborn Cinderella," and nearly a score of other big Chicago musical comedy successes.

MYNE COUNTUM TELLS OF LONDON LIFE

Interesting details of life in London are told in a letter from Clarence Mason, formerly of Economy, which has been received by his cousin, Leona Charles of Modoc. Excerpts from the letter follow: 33 Stonehill Road, Gunnersburg, London, W. My dear cousin: No doubt you would be Interested to know the different methods of travel in the greatest city In the world, as in many respects they are radically different from anything you have in the States. - The trains and busses run all over the city and suburbs,, but the busses reach only the, heart of the city for the trains running that way either stop short or bob under ground. Over here on the trams and busses you pay according to the distance you have to travel. Some fares are as low as one cent, while I have paid as much as eighteen cents for a long buss ride. You do not "pay as you enter" but go inside (or "outside" as the top deck is called) and take a seat when the conductor or conductress will come and say "any more fares please?" If you pay you are given a ticket like the enclosed with your destination punched out . If you do not pay, nothing Is said unless an inspector happens to board the car to examine tickets when anyone, found riding without one is liable to a heavy fine, . but many ride regularly without paying. The underground system of London in some respects resembles the elevated of Chicago, but is much more wonderful. It is really difficult to

comprehend so many lines twisting

and turning about, passing over and

under one another all underneath the city. At Charring Cross station there

are three lines, the District near the surface, the Bakerloo below that and the lowest of all is the Hampstead and

Highgate which, passes under the

Thames. Each line of course has Its up and down platforms, passageways, stairways and moving stairways. All passages are lined with ' white and colored glazed brick. The steam railroad service In London is much like the suburban service in Chicago except that here there are first and third class compartments.

The example Bet by a friend helped T. H. Prewitt, prominent and well known Richmond business man, to gain relief from . troubles that had bothered him several months. The

friend tried Tanlac and was benefited so Mr. Prewitt gave the Master Medicine a trial and found it equally beneficial. . "I'm feeling better now than for more than a year and I'm sure anyone who suffers from stomach trouble or Indigestion will be doing right if they try Tanlac," Mr. Prewitt said in relating his experiences.

Tor several months I was bothered with stomach trouble. I "had no appetite and I became bilious often. I also was bothered with indigestion. Knawlng pains in my stomach . and bowels were very severe. I'd awaken In mornings with a dull headache. My stomach felt empty all the time but what I ate seemed to do me no good and the pains that came after eating

would cause me to be sick at my stom:

acn.

"I am not In the habit of taking

proprietary medicines but when a friend -of mine tried Tanlac and was

benefited I decided to give it a trial

The pains in my stomach have disappeared since I've tried Tanlac. My food seems to be digested properly now. My bowels are regular and the headaches have disappeared. . I enjoy

my meals no wand I heartily recommend Tanlac. ....... , , Tanlac, the Master Medicine that is now being taken by hundreds of people of Richmond and vicinity, is especially beneficial for stomach, liver and kidney trouble, catarrhal complaints, rheumatism, nervousness, loss of appetite, pains ' In the' stomach and back and the like. Tanlac is now being specially introduced in Richmond. at the Siith and Main streets drug store of Clem Thistlethwaite and also at Thistlethwaite's

other stores. Adv. , i

Why Rheumatism Comes With Cold Weather (By Valentine Mott Pierce, M.D.) A close connection exists between these two cold weather and rheumatism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of London, has the most followers in the medical profession in the belief that the presence in the system of uric acid, or its salts in excess, is the real cause of rheumatism. Every one has recognized the difference in the appearance of their water as soon as it gets pold; there is often a copious sediment of "brickdust." Several causes may lead up to an accumulation of uric acid in the system, which, in turn, causes rheumatism or gout, or creaky joints, swol

len nigers, or painful joints. For one reason the skin does not throw off the uric acid, by profuse sweating, as in the hot weather, and the kidneys are unable to take care of the double burden. Another reason Is that people do not drink as much water in cold

weather as in summer, which helps ; to flush the kidneys. Again, they eat i

more meat in cold weather, and some people are so susceptible that they soon develop rheumatism after eating meat. At all such times persons should drink copiously of hot water, say, a pint morning and night, and take Anuric three or four times a day. This Anuric comes in tablet form and can be had at almost any drug store. It dissolves the anuric acid in the system and carries it outward. I would advise everyone to take Anuric occasionally, and continue for three or four weeks, and in that way avoid rheumatism, gout and many of the painful disorders due to uric acid in the system. ( Make yourself healthy and strong by open-air exercise and diet. Then cleanse the liver by occasionally stimulating Its action with a pleasant laxative composed of the May-apple, dried Juice of aloes, and root of Jalap.
