Boosting Armistice Day
The tour of Wayne county by the Young
Men's Business club on Nov. 9, only two days be
fore the Armistice day celebration, atiords a splendid opportunity for an effective boosting of
the day.
Virtually the greater part of the county will
be covered by the club members. Banners an
nouncing the Armistice day celebration and other
forms of publicity could be used with telling ef
fect. The committee on arrangements for the
tour, co-operating with the Armistice day com mittee, should be able to devise a method where by the trip would advertise Armistice day.
The whole county is taking interest in the
celebration, which unquestionably will be one of
the most pretentious witnessed here in many
years. Decision of persons residing outside of Richmond to see the parade may be clinched by
a little missionary work done by the Youns
Men's Business club.
The Lesson of the Broken Turbine -
The largest unit of the municipal light plant,
a 2,000 k. w. turbine, is out of commission. Two
or three days will elapse before it is repaired In the meantime power users must curtain con
sumption, after 4 p. m. and domestic users are urged to conserve lights.
Continuous power and light depends upon the
other units, which will be worked to capacity,
until the repairs are made. Should they fail, industries will be closed and the city will be without lights.
Not only this menace must be considered now. While the large unit is idle, and power and
domestic consumers are curtailing their use, the revenue which the plant derives from normal consumption is cut down, which will be reflected in the net earnings of the plant. In this instance the loss in revenue may not be large ; but if the plant is closed for a week or longer, the idleness
of the plant will be a factor in the earning capac ity of the "utility.
If there are any doubting Thomases in Richmond today, they ought to be convinced now that additional equipment, speedily installed, is of paramount importance to the welfar of all of us. A wornout pump caused serious inconvenience
a few days ago. The largest unit of the plant is idle now. What next? How many pieces of equipment in the $1,000,000 utility, owned by the taxpayers of the city, may not be on the verge of going to pieces ? The municipal light plant is a valuable investment belonging to the city of Richmond. City officials, who have been guilty of dilatory tactics to prevent the purchase, of new equipment, intended primarily to prevent interruption of service,rought to see the full measure of their folly by this time. The citizens see it. They have warned against the danger for months. Not only are they cognizant of the danger, but also weary of the schoolboy antics of those who are permitting the plant to go to pieces.

Memories of Old Days In. This Paper Ten Years .',., Ago Today
Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams
MANY LIVES So few of us are able to live even one life. While there are those who live a dozen lives all in onef Each day adds to the greatness of such lives as that lived by Roosevelt, Wendell Phillips, Gladstone, Beecher, Cecil Rhodes and Frances Willard. To have done with but one life would have been to kill off such heroic figures before youth itself had fairly begun. Take the single example of Rooseveltwriter, naturalist, discoverer, statesman, reformer, scholar, editorhe was ten men all in one, living a pcore of lives over the course of one! And all the time human and gentle, with all the elements so mixed that the whole world might stand up as one witness to say that he truly was a man. It is unfortunate that we have but one life in space to live. But in this space we may crowd the activity of many lives and splendidly acquit ourselves in long and happy service. Each of us may live many lives! And there may be no limit to the number. But it is highly important that each life we live have back of it at least one big purpose. Let us not be petty at all. Let us carry around with us a goodly supply of the faith that conquers and the love that knows no extinction of time or space. Let us, however, resolve to live but one life at a time!

THE DRIVE IDEA. All our lives will be more sunny, end we'll chirp a gladder song, when they quit the "drives" for money, which have bothered us too long. All such schemes were gladly pardoned when the kaiser danced his jig, and the heart, was cold and hardened that r.eglected to up-dig. I am always rrompt and willmg to help out a worthy cause, but I will not place a t-hilling in the drivesmith's eager paws. For I'm sick of people telling what I
ought to give and where, tired of always digging, shelling, for some ceheme that makes me swear. I will give to help the living and I'll give to riant the dead, but I won't bo bossed in giving, nnd I won't be chased or led. In the war time drives were sp!enrtld. and they helped to can our foe., but he war Is done and ended, and the people need repose. Do not bother friends or neighbors with requests for honest dimes; leave them to Lheir quiet labors, as we did in olden times. Do not think up worthy causes that require financial aid, for we've all tbeen Santa Clauses till our nerves are 'tired and frayed.
From Philadelphia comes the report of several cases of sleeping sickness, but in Philadelphia, is it an epidemic or a habit? Out in our neighborhood the other evening the tenants had a meeting. Notices were sent out to all and sundry to be on hand because important matters were to be discussed, and there was a considerable amount of excitement in the neighborhood. People looked forward to the meeting with interest and the tenants of three or four houses planned to attend, which they did. The meeting, which was called to protest against the recent, raises in rents and other difficulties of present cliff-dwelling, was held in a restaurant in the neighborhood, and a very good restaurant, too. There were so many peopje on hand that the restaurant couldn't care for all, and
eome had to wait. Tho poor tenants, most of them who had not a dollar in the world, sat down at the tables and ordered what they could afford. The restaurant proprietor put on a lot of extra waiters and an extra chef and the orders for lobster tand chicken and prime roast ribs and filet mignon swamped them. When the grand feed was about half over, an orchestra, concealed behind a bank of palms, began the seductive strains of a popular fox trot. The poor tenants began dancing and they danced and ate and ate and danced until 2 o'clock in the morning. The chairman who was to preside at the meeting, forgot all about it, and no one reminded him, and at 2 o'clock, of course, it was too late. The limousines of the tenants began arriving at 2 o'clock and they all went home, pronouncing it the most successful tenants' meeting they had ever attended. The rents remain the same. Love at first sight is wonderful, of course, but it doesn't cost a cent to take a second look.
Dinner Stories
At a school examination the examiner asked one child: "What are the products of the India empire?" The unhappy infant began nervously ot reel off the list she had got by heart: '
"Please sir, India produces curries and pepper and rice and citron and chills and chutney and, and and and " "Yes, yes," said the examiner, impatiently. "What comes after all that?" Another infant's hand was raised. "Well, you tell her what comes after that?" "Please, sir, India-gestation."

Irish Tourist Business
Affected by Revolutions DUBLIN, Nov. 2. The tourist business in Ireland has been Injuriously affected by the revolutionary disorders. Tourist agents and hotel keepers are In despair. North Wales and the Isle of Man have captured the visitors who used to come to Klllarney and Glengariff. There has been a notable absence of the usual influx of Americans.
Dublin has suffered less proportionately than other places, but Dublin's visitors did not take the risk of leaving It for the provinces. There was no
danger to life or limb, but the dislocation of the railway service caused by the refusal of the railway men to carry soldiers, police or munitions made the train service so uncertain that nobody could count safely on reaching
or returning from any given destina tion within the limits of a holiday.

gas, all my money had gone for doc-! tors and medicine which did me no1
good. I had lost all faith in medicines and as I have to work hard for the few dollars I earn, was afraid to risk any more money. A year ago my neighbor told me to try Mayr's Wonderful Remedy.

Women of Middle Act
Owing to modern methods of living not one woman in a thousand approaches this perfectly natural change in her life without experiencing a train of very annoying and sometimes painful symptoms. Those dreadful hot flashes, smothering spells, fainting spells, nervous troubles and irregularities are symptoms that should have prompt attention. These two letters prove what a successful remedy Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is for women at this time of life.

6leep for six months,had fainting spells and could not walk without help for three months.caused by female trouble. My cousin, who was a doctor, told me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and it helped me greatly. Then during the Change of Life I used the same remedy. I am seventy years old now and am able to do my own housework and walk one mile to church every Sunday morning and evening. I am recommending the Vegetable Compound to my friends having the same troubles as I had. Your remedy is the best on earth. I cannot find words to express my gratitude for it." Mrs. Susan C.
