Think About This

I am getting tired of monkeying with Mexico. Senator William J. Stone.

The Food Embargo Food prices in the United States are higher than in warring lands where governments control the commodities. Records show the average cost of foodstuffs this year is twenty-five per cent higher than last year. And yet President Wilson permits the exportation of thousands of tons to the Entente nations. Meanwhile, American workers are paying part of the war cost through abnormally high prices for food products in this country.

A Chicago newspaper yesterday compiled the following survey. Sugar selling at 12 cents a pound in Boston, and potatoes $1 a peck. Cabbage selling on the farm in Texas at $150 a ton. ' Meat dealers advised that prices on practically every variety and cut to be advanced about 40 per cent. " A sample of New York City prices per pound for commodities: Beef, 24 cents; potatoes, 7 cents; cabbage, 20 cents; onions, 20 cents; butter, 56 cents ; bread, per loaf, 7 cents.

Who would have dreamed of a bread and food riot in an American city. Early this week a mob of desperate women surged into City Hall Square, New York, crying for bread and demanding that the mayor give them relief. You might picture such a scene in Petrograd, Berlin, Paris or London, but imagination balks at such a sight in New York, reveling in the great

est prosperity the metropolis of America ever has ;

enjoyed.

Every Dog Has a Mark No two dogs in Richmond are so alike that you cannot tell them apart. Every one has a distinguishing mark, a tell-tale designation, a spot on his back, or an individual gait. Examine every dog you see in Richmond and you will not find two that are alike.

Fraudulent enterprises have earmarks that differentiate them from sound corporations just as absolutely as an underslung jaw identifies a bulldog from a Scotch collie. If a business venture is inherently sound, financiers will not let it go begging for capital. They will step in and run the risk for the great profits that are to be reaped. The history of a successful business concern usually shows that its founders put their own money into the risk and did not ask the public to buy stock. Whenever a new concern holds out promises of big dividends, stop to remember that men with money do not let snaps go begging, but take them up before you have a chance to hear about them.

Examine the bait that is offered you. i Did you ever notice that oil and mining companies usually insert their deceptive advertisements in newspapers that are far removed from the property. California and Nevada mining stocks are advertised in eastern newspapers; Texas oil stocks are advertised in northern and eastern newspapers; New England industrial stocks are advertised in southern and far western newspapers ; tropical cocoanut, rubber, sugar and tobacco plantation stocks are advertised in northern and Canadian newspapers. Why? Because the promoters of these fake ventures fear investigation of their alleged promises and want distance to prevent their prospective victims from discovering whether the alleged mine, oil field and plantation really exists, or fulfills the promises made in the advertisement. Another favorite bait is to cite the money made by insurance companies, telegraph and telephone companies. The advertisements, however, are strangely silent about the number of small companies that went defunct, neither do they tell of the financial troubles almost every prosperous concern had before it was able to declare dividends. By suggestions and false analogies, the

The only relief we can see is for the president to stop the exportation of foodstuffs. Twenty million bushels of wheat are in Chicago elevators and in box cars awaiting movement abroad. The wharves of the Atlantic seaboard cities groan under the accumulation of food products consigned to the Entente Allies. Keep this supply at home. The fathers and brothers are not at

war. Why should the mothers and starve?

J mind of. the luckless investor is prompted to sub

scribe for stock which never pays dividends but always enriches the promoters.

If you have saved money, keep it in the savings bank, or ask your banker to buy you a government bond or securities in an industrial concern that pays small but certain dividends. Security of investment and adaptability to convert

sisters ! your investment into cash are two fundamentals

the small investor must always keep in mind.

WASHINGTON FRIDAY Guffaws of hearty laughter rent the tense silence which attended the showing of "The Price of Silence," the new William Fox filim production, to the city officials of Los Angeles, Cal., when the senate chamber scene was flashed on the screen. A. Carlos, General Western Representative of the Fox Film Corporation, who had arranged the presentation, was shocked. He looked hard at the film, hoping to catch the "break" which caused the uproarious outbreak. Failing in this he waited until the end of the show. Then he asked several of the guardians of the city's fate: 'Why?" By picking up a few words here and there from the new outburst of "hawhaws," Mr. Carlos was finally able to get the cause of the laughter. The senate chamber scene shown In the film was taken in the actual senate chamber of the California legislature at. Sacramento. The session was adjourned temporarily to make room for the actors, but many of the senators stayed around, by request, to fill out the scene. "The sight of familiar senatorial figures strutting about on the film was too much, even for the dignity of Los Angeles officials when guests of a great film company. The seriousness with which the California Solons played their parts as supers in the film added to the humor, several of the city rulers explained. MURRAY Beginning with this evening's performance the successful New York farce "7 Days" will be the attraction with Otis Oliver and his Players until Saturday. Thla play is acknowledged by the press and public to be one of the cleanest and funniest farce comedies written in recent years. Mati

nees will be given Friday and Saturday at 2:30.

Being the first woman to be admitted to the sombre realms of the New York Stata Bar Association, Mrs. Clarice Margolies Baright, a prominent New York woman lawyer, has announced her ambition to come day ait upon the bench. Mrs. Baright and Mrs. Georgie Hare, of Groton, were the first -women

admitted, and they gained admittance only after a stormy session of the asso

ciation, where there was much opposition to the admission of women. Mrs. Baright says that it is inevitable that there shall be a woman justice of the children's court, and says that if women had the vote in New York today she would get the appointment.

A Serial in Four Parts

The Forgotten Wedding"

By OLIVE WADSLEY, author of: "Beyond Youth's Paradise," Life's Perfect Gift," "The Real Thing."

Then Robert had loved her, and before the knowledge .of his love her Lomewhat arrogant possession of herself had gone down as a reed before a mighty wind. As her maid dressed her after the matinee, she told herself that Robert had awakened all her sleeping womanhood, all her need of love. Her radiant eyes and happy mouth proclaimed the great change.

And he ' was hers absolutely he !

was the man she loved! She told her chauffeur to drive back quickly. Che pictured to herself Robert's greeting. He would be getting so impatient. She could not wait for the lilt, which w as on the story above to descend. She ran up-stairs and into her fiat. She opened the drawing100m door a little laugh of sheer joy trembling on her lips. The room was empty! How stupid of her! Of course, he was smoking in the study. But he was not there. She looked at her little wrist-waeh. Robert was half an hour late, and it was their wedding-day! Then, like a sickening blow in the

face, a thought crashed into her mind, "No man shall marry you if I cannot!" But thfty were married she and Robert it was all right; she had defled the threat, and no one knew. She was absurdly anxious. Robert's taxi had probobly broken down. Even so, it is not difficult to obtain a second in Piccadilly. She snatched up the telephone receiver. "Mayfa'r 016. "Is that Captain Fane? Oh, yes his servant. Can you tell me at what time Captain Fane went out this afternoon' III? The fever? What doctorSir Maline Gorde?" She rang off. She caught up a hat, her gloves, a purse, and ran tore out of the flat. A taxi was just driving away from the door when she reached the steps. She hailed the man breathlessly. - "Dover Street, 09," she said, "and I will double your fare if you do it in five minute3." She sat staring, wild-eyed at the streets. If Robert died she would have killed him! "No man shall marry you if I canDot !"

Poor Ventilation Causes Colds

A large manufacturing concern found poor ventilation in their offices caused their employees to have colds and that every cold meant a loss of $24.00 to the business. How much do you lose when you have a cold ? You may be an employee, you both lose ; it is expensive and dangerous.

A cold does not get well of itself.

Take

chances. Eat right avoid exnosure and draffs.

When you feel dull and headachy, feverish, start sniffling and sneezing, tight chest and sore throat you have a cold that needs attention. The first aid 13 an old reliable remedy that has been used for coughs and colds for nearly 50 years -Dr. King's New Discovery. It has given years of universal satisfaction and those that have used Dr. King s New Discovery longest are its best friends. It is pleasant to take and it contains the ingredients that have proved best for coughs, colds, croup and bronchial affections. Your druggist has it -he's sold it for many year3.

She looked up to see Dosser standing beside her with a largo ham sandwich on a plate and brandy and soda in a glass. "Worn out, madam," he eaid cheerfully; "that's wot you are, and we must keep up your strength. The ccptain'll soon get better." She laughed weakly as she obediently ate and drank.
