MOTHER OF Ten
CHILDREN GIVES
ADVICE or VALUE
Mrs. Casper Jelly, Mother Of
Largest Family in Rich
mond, Gives an Example of
Economical Prosperity.
NINE OF CHILDREN
ARE OF SCHOOL AGE
Father of Family Earns Mod
est Living, Yet Owns His
Home and His Family Is
Well Provided For.

Taft would not give us anything
but Roosevelt would. He's the one
who gave medals away for large-size
families" stated Mrs. Casper Jelly this
ond street. when questioned in re
gard to the size of her family, which
according to enumerators, taking the
school enumeration recently is the
largest family in the city.
The oldest Of the ten children is 20
years of age while the youngest is 5
years old. The parents have been
very fortunate in the raising of their
family as the Grim Reaper has visit
ed them very infrequently and SER
ious illness in the family is almost
an unknown condition.
List Of Children.
Mrs. Jelly listed her children in re-
spect to age as follows: Edward, aged
20: Sophia, aged 10: Mary, aged IA:
George, aged 1s; Margaret aged IL;
Henrietta, aged 8; Stella, aged s; vio-
let, aged and Louis. aged 5. The
boys in this family are completely
outclassed by the girls, the record
showing that there are three boys and
seven girls.
With the exception of Louis, the
youngest, all the children are of
school age and he will be old enough
to go to school in February. Only five
of the children are in school as the
older ones are working. This family
is a great benefit to the school city
of Richmond as nine Of the children
are of school age, netting it $27 from
the school fund each year.
Mrs. Jelly stated this morning that
1t was difficult matter for parents
to raise ten children now, owing to
the increased expense of living, espec-
tally when the husband is making but
$50 a day as an inspector in a local
factory. However, she is assisted by
her older children and the burden is,
therefore. lessened considerably.
economy a WatchWord.
Economy has been a watchword in
the family as necessitated by the
fathers earnings. However, all of the
children appear plump and we'll fed.
You see, even with ten children we
have been able to give them plenty of
bread" remarked Mrs. Jelly with hap
py, satisfied smile. Mrs. Jelly, it
should be stated. will tip the scales
close to 200 pounds.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jelly are natives of
the province Of Alsace-Loraine, now a
part OF Germany, but formerly a
French possession. They were mar
ried In that country twenty-four years
ago, next October, at which time, they
expect to celebrate their wedding an
niversary.
Twenty-three years ago, hearing
from relatives and friends who had To-
Gated here, that Richmond was a de-
sirable place to live and prosper, they
decided to emigrate to this country
and they came direct to Richmond.
They took up their residence in the
south part OF the city. In few years.
they had saved enough to purchase
their property, 125 South Second
street. where they now reside. Since
then they have paid for the prop
erty and also made an addition OF sew
eral rooms to the rear of the house.
Additions to a family mean additions
to the home, you know!

Probably Only Living Heir Oi
President Monroe,

As . result of being recently
reminded that, as the only sur.
|yiving heir Of Pres. JAS. Monroe,
the fifth president Of the Uaitsd
States, there il probably stored
in the treasury department al
Washington > box Of jewels which
should be his, DR.. r. H. Cabell
will soon institute an effort to
acquire the heirloom.
In cleaning out q desk, Friday,
DR.. Cabell ran across . clipping
from . newspaper published in
1885, which said.
"a few days since q heavy,
square box, wrapped in red tape
and securely bound, was found
in an ogt-of-she-way nook OF
vault in the treasury department
at Washington. The key has
been mislaid and Q locksmith
opened the box. II was found to
contain bottle diamonds, bottle
pearls, bottle ottar roses, lump
gold. One Of the older employees
unidentified the articles as those
presented to President Monroe
about the year 1923, from the
Japanese government, and which
had been stored in the treasury
pending the passage OF an aot Of
Congress authorizing their ac.
ceptance. Congress failed to
legislate on the subject, and the
articles were deposited in the
treasury, where they have re-
NAMED ever since."
DR.. Cabell's mother, Harriet
Monroe, Cabell, was the niece Of
President Monroe, her father,
Joseph Monroe. having been tbs
President's brother and nrivats
secretary. President Monroe mac
one child, . son, who died al
sbQpt the age of 1e. He also
had another BROTHER, but 80 fal
as DR.. Cabell has been able tc
ascertain, there are no Lying
heirs of that brother. -e
The doctor will take the matter
up with Congressman Ruckei
and the Senator from Missouri,
and seek to ascertain II the boz
OF jewels is still in the treasury
vault, and il it is, to have the
necessary bill passed which
would permit President Monroe'i
heirs 10 receive it.--Chillioothe

souri,. From the activities Of

be regarded as . Missouri pro-
duct which every loyal Missouri
ian should be proud Of and de-
fend as he would the honor Of
his state,
But the ideas OF q great many
lof our citizens who live north Of
the Missouri river in regard to
this substance are Q trifle III de-
fined and hazy. Some are in
clined TO think that the time 10
dig tiff is when we dig our
onions. Others hold to the no :
ton that 1t should be pulled
when We gather our apples.
Some who live in remote parts of
the state regard it as bulbous,
o ! h ers as bifurcated. Many
farmers along the Iowa border
believe that it would make q fine
substitute for Alfalfa. These it
Is needless to say are Republicans
while some OF their neighbors
CONSIDER it to be Of no more value
as q plant food than Johnson
Grass. These are Democrats.
1t is said to reflect that after
the thorough discussion Of this
material that has taken place
within the last two or three years
so many misconceptions exist in
the public mind in regard to It.
To set people right in other parts
lot the state and give them q clear
conception Of the nature and uses
of tiff is the object Of this article.

cause the addition of Q little tiff

drugs and medicines and is about
as good for the human system.
Pure food inspectors have q vio-
lent antipathy for tiff, and black
liet all foods that contain 1t un-
less 1t appears upon the label.
This has prevented the tiff in

would have done had IL been left
free from meddlesome interfer-
ence. ABOUT the only legitimate
use for tiff 10 its adaptibility for
