Shut Of f the Current

Prehistoric man. feared fire. The flash of lightning, the eruption of the volcano, the forest holocaust filled his soul with terror. After he had learned to make fire contribute to his comfort, man still stood in awe of its ravages when jncontrolled and unchecked it destroyed the huts he had made and the utensils he had laboriously fashioned. Modern man has lost this terror for fire. He has gone to the other extreme. He plays with it. Lighted matches are discarded into waste baskets or thrown recklessly near combustibles. Smoldering ashes are dumped in close proximity to oils. Even children play with fire as if no danger lurked in conflagration. A campaign of education had to be started to teach man to fear fire as his forbears did. Fire prevention days, clean-up days, safety, device slogans are manifestations of the effort.

United States. Thirty thousand fires annually traced to this source, suggest a fire peril that is as hazardous as it is preventable. Turn off the current when you are not using an electric device. It saves money and prevents fire.

No one enjoys going to sleep in a cold bed. When incandescent bulbs were-still a novelty, some enterprising persons put them between the bed coverings. A few disastrous fires, bringing loss of life and property, taught us that bulbs

are useful' for lighting, but dangerous as bed

warmers. Electric, pads are supplanting the old water bottles, Hundreds of housewives do not know that it is highly dangerous to leave them in circuit continuously. They become overheated and imperil life. With proper care the danger is negligible. ''. Electric pads and electric pressing irons are useful devices. They effect economies and contribute to our welfare. The danger lurks in carelessness on the part of the user.

National Board of Fire Underwriters: "Shut off the current when not personally and continuously supervising the use of an electric device."

With the multiplication of inventions that provide comforts for our homes has come an increasingly' large number of fire hazards. There is hardly a home in Richmond that is not provided with an electric device that saves time, and labor. You will find toasters, electric pads, curling irons, cigar lighters, plate warmers, electric sterilizers and heaters. But the most common device is the ELECTRIC PRESSING IRON. ... Hardly a home in which the electric pressing iron has not superseded the old FLAT IRON. Mothers and sisters no longer toil and sweat over an ironing board, swinging a heavy piece of iron, carrying it to and from a hot range. The electric pressing iron has taken 75 per cent of the toil out of this piece of house work.

Every electric pressing iron in Richmond is a fire hazard, if it is not handled intelligently. john Wanamaker, the merchant prince of America, suffered the loss of his palatial home in Philadelphia, because a negligent servant forgot to turn off the current in an electric pressing iron. The use of this device invites abuse. The busy housewife, interrupted in her work by the door bell, forgets to turn off the current in her electric iron.' She chats with her neighbor in an adjoin-

"We are almost incredibly rich. A very large part of our wealth has come to us recently, but we must remember that its foundations were laid three or four generations atro bv our fore

fathers, who through necessity acquired habits J

of industry and Thrift. "If we haven't already done so, we are in the way of acquiring habits of recklessness and waste which are bound to lead to poverty and grief for many of our people. "It is even more important, it seems to me, that our young people should learn to save on account of the moral effect on them personally. What every youngster must know is that the in

CHAPTER I" A Love Betrayed "You shall tell me!" . The word echoed and re-echoed through the flower-filled room. The woman on the sofa did not speak. Her wide, amber-colored eyes were filled with tears. The man strode across to her, and for an instant stood looking down at her inscrutably. She half lose from the couch. With a smothered exclamation he caught her in his arms. "My heart's desire!" he said hoarsely. He held her close to him, kissing her passionately. "SaFthat it is a hideous dream!" the husky voice hurried on. "Rachel, say that you will fulfill your promise say that you will marry me!" Still holding her, he slipped to his knees and leaned his head against her breast. She freed herself almost violently and stood up. "I I cannot fulfill promise to you," she said in a shaking voice. "You have no right to demand it you have no right to treat me like this. I I do not love you have never loved you! I will not marry you!" . lie sprang to his feet. "Do you mean that?" he asked. The veins in his forehead stood out thickly. "Do you mean that? Then, for two yeai'3 you've let me believe in you, you've let me make love to you,

and yet all the while you were fooling me you never meant to marry me? Is that it? No', you shall listen! You shall hear, I tell you!" ' His stammering voice broke for a moment. "I tell you I can't tear you out of my life now! It's too late; I can't do it. I've felt ' all these months that you've been away as though I'd do anything give anything sell my soul to possess you!" He leaned . forward. The electric lamp above his head threw his face into deep shadow. From out of its strained whiteness his eyes blazed with prophetic fire. "No man shall marry you if I cannot!" he said tensely. He went forward and seizing her hands, stared into her eyes. "Who is the other man you love?" he demanded."Tell me. You shall tell me!" "Don't lobk at me like that,". the woman whisppred. "Tell me." The door opened suddenly and a maid came in. "Sir Maline Gorde's butler has just rung up, madam, to say that a patient is waiting for him in Portland Place. It is an urgent case," she said. The color rushed back into Rachel Ford's face; she sank, trerling, on the couch. The maid hurried to her.

"She is always excited and nervous before the first night of a new play; and here she is quite worn out now, and she has to be at the theatre In an hour." The woman began gently to stroke her mistress's hair. Sir Maline turned round abruptly. His manner had become that of a doctor attending his patient "If you will leave me with your mistress," he said quietly, "I will try to cure her headache." The maid went out unwillingly. The great nerve specialist fixed his eyes on the actress and held her prisoner. "Lie quite still," he commanded in an expressionless voice. Hi3 eyes never left her eyes until her eyelids drooped and hid them from his gaze. "Is the pain less?" the quiet voice asked. "Yes," the sleeping girl murmured. Again there was silence. He knelt

GOT YOUR $2,284, PER CAPITA WEALTH FOR WAYNE COUNTY?

There are 256,000 acres of land in "Wayne county. The population of the connty including cities is 43,757 according to the last United States cencus. This makes 5.8 acres of land for each citizen. The total assessed valuation of the county according to the abstract for 191C taxes payable in 1917 is $37,237,093. This makes an assessed valuation of $850 for each resident of the county. It is conservatively estimated that the total assessed valuation of the county represents less thanfifty per cent, ot the real value of assessable property. Richmond property is assessed at sixty per cent, of its actual value and rural property is assessed at thirty-five percent of its real value. Resides this there aro millions of dollars of non-taxable bonds owned by local people. There is also much sequestered taxable property due to the lax and out-of-date tax laws of the state. Considering all these, it was estimated by persons acquainted with

hooks in the auditor's and treasurer's office that the total wealth of Wayne i-ounty citizens is more than $100,000,000. This makes the average per capita wealth of the county $2,2S4. This is about the average for the United States. The combined wealth of the 110,000,000 people of the United States including Alaska is estimated at $250,-000.000,000.

The trick was turned at a meeting held a year ago last September, says Dr. Bond. At this meeting, he charges, Melpolder had pulled the strings so none but his friends were present. Melpolder was elected secretary-treasurer to succeed Dr. Bond. A few months later Melpolder was forced to resign his office by Fred S. Bates, then president of the bureau, because of friction.

Vegetable calomel, extract of the root of the old-fashioned may-appls plant, does not salivate. As a liver stimulator, it's great.

Physicians recognize thLj end prescrihe may-apple root (podophyilin, tney call it) daily.
