THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM. THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1915

URGES GIVING TO IC C. WAR FUND

Edward H. Brinker, who is with the 3Sth ballooa company at Camp John Wise, Tex., writes the Palladium a description of the camp at which he and several other Richmond boya are stationed. Several prominent aviators are members of the company to which Drinker belongs. , ' "Have been reading some of the Richmond Palladiums." Brinker writes, "there is more news in it than in all the papers we get here." "Just a few lines about our camp and company. I am in the 38th balloon company. We have men from all over the United States. Last eve

ning 1 made the acquaintance of a

fellow whose name sounded very ia

miliar. He was T. S. Hayes, son of James L. Hayes, of Chicago, and

Richmond, head of the Hayes Appli

ance company of Richmond. "We also have in our company Rod man Law. of New York, the well

known aviator and balloon man. He

is the man who has made so many

dare-devil jumps, including the jump

from the New York Times building.

the Statue of Liberty, and Brooklyn

bridge. There are a number of well

known men in our company, too many

to try to mention them all. "I received a letter from home yes

terday, saying they were preparing

for a big K. of C. campaign. All I

can say ia to encourage every one to do what he can towards it, as the Y. M. C. A. and the K. ,of C. are of great Importance to all the boys in khaki. No one knows how to appreciate these places until he has been in camp. There is always some amusement there and always a place to write to our friends. "Regards from all' the Richmond boys here."

RAIL WORKERS Continued From Page One. der their private employers, the railroad companies, is to take advantage of the two fold embarrassment of the government its need for the work and ' Its Inability to call in outside men. The commission does not believe that the railroad employes really want thus to hamper the transportation facilities of the country in its hour of need. "Manifestly, therefore, at this time, when men must be constantly taken from the railroads, as from all other Industries, to fill the growing needs of the nation's army, hours of labor cannot be shortened. While the commission Is strongly disposed to a standard day, insofar as the nature of the service will permit it, its firm judgment consequently is that the existing hours of service in effect on the railroads, should be maintained for the period of the war. Urge More Study. "But with this we earnestly urge that a most exhaustive study be made of this matter of hours of service, not with a view to the adoption of some arbitrary and universal policy which shall have no regard to the kind of work done, or to the effect upon the railroad service, but with these very considerations in mind. "With the matter of overtime as with hours of service the commission believes that the existing rules and conditions of payment should not be disturbed during the period of the war. "The employment of women is one of the important problems confronting those in charge of the actual operation of the railroads. Since the war, women have entered the shops, have engaged in handling freight and baggage, and have even been employed upon the tracks. Much of this work reniilrpsi a nhvsical effort beyond the

strength of women, and some of it Is carried on under conditions menacing to health, safety and morals. As the war takes an increasing number of men, women must, to some degree, take the places of men. They should be cared for. Their burden should not be such as to hazard their health. Their hours should be reasonably short. Their working conditions should be healthful and fitted to their needs. And their pay, when they do the full work of men. should be the same as that of men. Many Inequalities Found. "The investigation of the commission disclosed many inequalities of pay in the same service. The attention of the railroad managers should be directed to these inequalities, with a view to removing them whenever the discrimination is not justified. In every case where the same service is rendered there should be the same pay without regard to sex or of race. Members of organizations and nonmembers must stand upon the same footing." Large salaries, paid railroad officials received the close scrutiny of

the commission, which suggested that some might be abolished. "The commission recommends," said the report, "that during the period of government conduct of the railroads, no salaries paid to officials who are not essential to the operation of the roads shall be charged as part of the operating expenses, and that a careful study be made of the proper relation between the salaries of the higher officials and those of their subordinates, with a view to readjustment." "It would be impossible to magnify the importance of the American system of railroads in the conduct of this war." The report said in conclusion. "That England should want for bread because American railroad equipment was unwisely distributed, or unnecessarily immobile, is a thing not to be explained to the Englishman, who regards our system of railroads and our method of railroading as the model for the world. Four our needs and for our pride, this standard of superiority must be maintained, and to this end no other one thing will so greatly conduce as wisdom and justness in dealing with the actual workers on the railroads."

BEN HUR LODGE TO HONOR ITS SOLDIERS

A Russian inventor claims to have perfected a motor that can utilize electricity drawn from clouds.

Richmond Court No. 42, Tribe of Ben Hur, will dedicate the service flag of the order at a patriotic meeting Friday evening at the I. O. O. F. hall. An address will be given by the Rev. J. J. Rae, and a program of music and recitations will be given. A feature of the evening will be a patiotic drill by 24 children.

1,000 Books are Given for Camp Libraries A thousand books have been donated the public library for the United States war camp libraries, and there is still a call for "more books for the soldiers. A shipment of 350 books was made from the Richmond library to Camp Taylor, Ky., several months ago, and since that time more than 600 books have been contributed, and are now awaiting shipment. The need for books for soldiers is increasing, and the national association of libraries is urging that all persons give their surplus books. The books are shipped free directly from the libraries to the camp at which they are most needed. Spring house cleaning is expected to bring forth a great supply of books that can be used in the army libraries. A good class of books of fiction, and late books on scientific subjects are especially needed.

TELLS DYSPEPTICS WHAT TO EAT Avoid Indigestion, Sour Arid Stomach, Heartburn, Gaa On Stomach, Etc.

Indigestion and practically all forma of stomach trouble, say medical au

thorities, are due nine times out of ten to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Chronic "acid stomach" is exceedingly dangerous and sufferers should do either one of two things. Either they can go on a limited and often disagreeable diet, avoiding foods that disagree with them, that irritate the stomach and lead to excess acid secretion or they can eat as they please in reason and make it a practice to counteract the effect of the harmful acid and prevent thi . formation of gas, sourness or premature fermentation by tha use of a little Bisurated Magnesia at their meals. There is probably no better,' safer or more reliable stomach antiacid than Bisurated Magnesia and it is widely used for this purpose.' It has no direct action on the stomach and is not a digestent. But a teaspoonful of the powder or a couple of five grain tablets taken in a little water with the food will neutralize the excess acidity which may be present and prevent its further formation. This removes the whole cause of the trouble and the meal digests naturally and healthfully without need of pepsin pills or artificial digestions. Get a few ounces of Bisurated Magnesia fro'm any reliable druggist. Ask for either powder or tablets. It never comes as a liquid, milk or citrate and in the bisurated form is not a laxative. Try this plan and eat what you want at your next meal and see if this Isn't the best advice you ever ha;l on "what to eat." Adv.

To The VdDtteiFS Way'ime Connelly I wish to express my thanks to the voters of Richmond and Wayne county, who in Tuesday's primary election, showed their faith and loyalty in me and branded as forever untrue the malicious attack made upon me Dy my opponent. . I wish to especially thank the voters of Dalton township who gave me a large majority over my opponent. ' The results in Tuesday's election show beyond doubt that the voters of Richmond and Wayne county can not be swayed in their better judgment by a man so base as to attack his opponent's loyalty, when he knows that the charge is absolutely false.
