A House Divided Against Itself
The municipal government of Richmond presents the sad and tragic spectacle of a hduse divided against itself, of petty jealousies and vapid animosities, of bickering and backbiting, of officials snarling and scrapping over trivialities week in and week out. And withal the taxpayers and citizens of the community, who have entrusted the business administration of their city into the hands of these
officials, must stand by listening to their, cheap inuendo and insipid pronouncements at council meetings, impotent to check their mouthings and powerless to make them understand the importance of their offices and appreciate the seriousness of their decisions. The harmonious co-operation of the legislative and executive branches of our city government is woefully lacking, expelled by a sinister spirit of petty fault finding and sniveling criticism. City Attorney Robbins spoke wisely and truly when he admonished members of the council of the fallacy of persisting in their policy of opposition" to every ordinance submitted by the board of works. His plea for a co-operative effort of the legislative and administrative bodies in handling the municipal light plant proposition
should fall on fertile soil and be productive of
results. The malevolent handling of a measure, de
signed solely for the welfare of the city and
evolved after months of painstaking investigation and study, will lead to no beneficial result Neither will the comedy and foolishness that fre
quently occur in the meetings of the council doomed to destruction-
fructify into ordinances rpdounding to the betterment of the city. The character of the period in which we are living entails upon all public officials a new appreciation of the purpose for which they were elected, namely, of serving the people whose representatives they are. Voters of Richmond do not elect councilmen to provide comedy or to
give them opportunity to vent their personal grudges and dislikes on other city officials.
Neither is it the function of the board of works, for that matter, to antagonize the city council. In this instance, the board is blameless and the members of council must bear the censure of our citizenship. The municipal light plant is a valuable utility. It is not a plaything, a hobby, or a little red wagon that can be replaced tomorrow if it is destroyed today by the unwillingness of council to consider seriously its needs. A going concern, .such as the light plant is, will succeed in direct
ratio to the business intelligence of the board of
works and the city council, which ratifies or re
jects the policies of the board.
If the city council wants to wreck the plant,
the time is opportune for that eventuality. Its
action the other evening, prompted either by
malevolence or inability to understand the situation, is a start toward the loss of the utility as a
municipally owned plant.
Council seemingly is taking a very narrow view of the problem. It fails to understand that
continuous service for the factories and homes of this city depends directly upon the installation
of machinery to make possible this service. It
refuses to believe that machinery wears out and must be replaced; that a plant working at its
peak load, without subsidiary machinery to
carry that load in an emergency, carries within itself a menace to the uninterrupted operation of our industries; that the board of works wants the equipment purchased at the lowest figure
possible, and that the board members have no ulterior purposes back of their recommendations
for additional equipment. If a petty spirit prompted action on the or
dinance, and if the same spirit is responsible for
other actions of the council, let the councilmen
know that a house divided against itself is

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams
OH, WHAT BEAUTY! What an artist God is! All day I have been looking out of a car window fascinated. The rolling hills are garmented with coats of trees and fields of green here deep and full, and far away fading into gray with shadows chasing after them. While every once in a
while, some dead tree of other years stands like a great past-giaflt, all alone, as an onlooker. It is a June-July picture, for roses tuck In little farm houses and daisies whiten the approaching lands while acres of corn and wheat and potatoes and whatnot, like babies in cribs, look up into a new world. Every minute you see something r.ew and interesting, no matter how many times you have seen their like the chickens, the pigs, the red barns, the field workers, the birds that spot the sky here and there, the old broken-
down buggies and machines, the cows feeding by the streams, the thick woods, the wind-mill pumping away in its good old-fashioned style every one needed to immortalize the out-of-doors. : Oh, what beauty! How I envy the soil worker. He can talk all day with Nature and not get tired. No wonder so many great men and women have come from the farms no wonder they boast of it. I have never yet met anyone who was ashamed to say, "I was once a farmer boy!" : There is a serenity to plain, moist dirt. I like the smell of it especially when I am lying down on it, with a big tree over nie, as an umbrella, and little flowers poking their noses at me and waving their hands white and yellow and red and purple faces wanting lo tell mo their own special story. '. If you want to get rid of all 'the conceit you ever had, go away back into the country and-r-lto down! , God's country that's yours Oh, How beautiful!
be read aloud, "will meet Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock sharp. .Your necktie is crooked; please straighten it toward the right." A Glasgow minister on visiting one of his "poor" parishioners, a munition worker, was startled to find she had invested in a new piano, which had cost her 400. While contemplating the new purchase the woman informed the minister that it was bought "to go one better" than her neighbor over the stair, who had paid only $305 for hers. "But," remonstrated the clergyman "can any of your household play the piano?" "Oh, no," replied the woman, cheerfully, "but there's a young fellow coming up tonight to show us how it goes."

NO REASON FOR IT When Richmond Citizens Show a Way.
There can be no reason why any reader of this who suffers the tortures of an aching back, the annoyance of urinary disorders, the pains and dangers of kidney ills will fall to heed the words of a neighbor who has found relief. Read what a Richmond citizen says: Mrs. Catherine Temme, 207 South Eighth Street, says: "Kidney complaint kept mo miserable for a long time. I had a dull ache in my back and so much soreness, I couldn't rest
my back against a chair. I tired easily and couldn't walk more than a block before I gave out. Mv sieht
blurred and I had dizzy spells. A friend advised me to use Doan's Kidney Pills and they wero Just what I needed. I improved right away and the aching and soreness in my back
was reuevea. Doan s are just wonderful."

! Strength of Delicate People In Two Weeks Time
Ca inur Instant! tiTt City rhyslclaj pcrsoua h suffered for yrt without knowing wlut maxle then feci tired. lWtless mad run-do wo when their real trouble ru lack of iron In tXim tlood bonr to trlJ. IF you were to make an actual b'ood test on all people who are ill you would probably be greatly astonished at the exceedingly larfc number who lack iron and who are ill for no other reason than the laclc of iron. The moment iron is supplied a multitude . of dangerous symptoms disappear. Without iron the blood at once loses the. power to change food into living; tissue and therefore nothing you eat does you rood ; yois Jon't get the strength out of it. Your food merely passes through your system like corn through a mill with the rollers so wide apart thit the mill can't grind. As a result of this continuous blood and nerve starvation, people become generally weakened, nervous and all run down and frequently develop all sorts of conditions. One is too thin; another is burdened with unhealthy fat; some are so weak They can hardly walk; some think they hrvo clyspepsia, kidney or liver trouble; some can't sleep at night, others are sleepy and tired all (lav; some fussy and irritable; some skinny ar.d bloodless, but all lack physical power and endurance. In such cases, it is worse than foolishness to take stimulating medicines or narcotic drugs, which only whip up your fagging vital powers for the neracKt, nayta it
the expense of your life later on. No nutter what any one tells you, if you are not strong and well you owe it to yourself t make the following test: See how long yout can work or how. far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five-grain tablets of ordinary Kuxated Iron three' times per day after meals for two weeks. Them test your strength again and see for yourself tow much you have gained. You can tallc as you please about all the wonders wrought by new remedies, but when you come downr to hard facts there is nothing like good old iron to put color in your cheeks and gooct sound, healthy flesh on your bones. It is also a great nerve and stomach strengthener aad one of the best blood builders in t heworld. The on!y trouble was that the old forms of inorganic iron like tincture of iron., iron acetate, etc., often ruined people's teethr upset their stomachs and were not assimilated and for these reasons they frequently did more harm than good. But with the discovery of the newer forms of organic iron alt this has been overcome. Kuxated Iron, for example, is pleasant to take, does not injure the teeth and is almost immediatelybeneficiaL.
