A bill, which has passed the House.
looking to the better observance OF the
Sabbath. is on the Senate calendar and
not likely to become law at the pres
ent session. The present law provides
that. eff a person be found laboring on
the Sabbath day at any trade or calling
or employing his apprentices or servants
in labor or other business, except IN
household or other work of necessity or
charity. he shall forfeit 81 for each
offense. The bill, which has passed the
House this session, proposes to strike
out the words, forfeit "s2 for each
offense" and in the place of them to IN
sert the words, "be deemed to be guilty
Of a misdemeanor and upon conviction
thereof shall be fined not less than 80.
Under the present law, the fine Is so
INSIGNIFICANT. that it is often violated
with impunity, especially by railroads
and other corporations. Under the bill
now pending in the Senate, offenders
can be put under bond which will be
forfeited on repetition Of the offence
The members of the Senate should have
sufficient regard for the moral sentl
ment of the people of the State, to SEE
that the bill is passed. AS the Times
Dispatch in urging its passage says:
1.-The Sunday law in Virginia is not
religious observance. 1t is not, as SOM
seem to think, an enactment OF tn
Fourth Commandment. 1t has no re
ligious significance whatsoever. 1t
designed to make Sunday legallze
day of rest, and to prevent such con
duct on the part of citizens as will inter
fere with the spirit of the holiday, 0
with religious services. But the law
fully justified, because Sunday obser
vance is good for the health and moral
of the people, and if we are going
have any law at all, let US have on
that will serve its purpose not one thu
NAV be violated at pleasure for a trlt
ing fee"

licious bread and pastry always.

week the BEST.

using hap-hazard flour when our
mill-fo-consumer system puts our
superior product in your home at
less expense?
