There TOO LATE
Chamber Failed to Have Switch

Up by Order.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion received yesterday protest from
the Richmond Chamber of Commerce
against a tariff filed by the Atlantic
Coast Line, Seaboard Air Line and
Southern Railways, making advances
in local switching charges. 1t is ex-
planned that the complaint is against

Traffic Manager Goodman, of the

out of the city yesterday, and there

The switching charges have long
been the subject of protest by local

that everything had heen adjusted. but

kindergarten cared for 447 children of

Fourteen Happy Ones.
There were fourteen children at the
nursery yesterday afternoon, whose
ages ranged from six months to as
many years. In answer to the ring or
the bell pair of bare feet sounded
in the interior of the house and an
instant later the door was thrown
wide open by very pretty little girl.
Good evening" she said
Are you the matron?" asked the
caller.
Am what?" he was asked in re-
turn.
Are you the lady of the house,"
"Oh. nor replied the child. She's
out"
The matron, 1t seems. was attending
to business that required her presence
elsewhere. Having gained her conf

Just at this minute something
seemed to happen. From the rear OF
the house came an awful noise. The
visitor feared that the roof had fallen
in. An instant later 1t was learned
that the other children. that is. all OF
those who We're old enough to walk,
had discovered that Wilmenia had a
caller. They came trooping through
the hall to where their companion
was seated beside the caller on the
doorstep.

PLAN TO REDUCE
THAT BIG DEFICIT
Post-office Department Won't
Send Return Registered
Slips Unless Requested.

For the purpose of reducing the op-
Grating expense of his department.
Postmaster-G General Hitchcock has is
sued an order to postmasters to dis
pense with returning receipts for reg
istered letters unless requested to do
so by the sender. This is one Of the
many schemes being put into oper-
alton to Offset the deficit in the SER
vice.
When it is taken into consideration
that 333,741 registered letters and
parcels for the fiscal year ending June
post-off it can readily be seen that
not only will the operating expenses
be decreased, but that time and la
Dor will be saved.
1t is explained by the post office Of
ticials that furnishing receipt for
registered letters does not make the
delivery more certain. If the sender
desires to have letter traced, he may
do SO. and delivery Will be shown.
The order of Postmaster General
Hitchcock follows:
Whenever the sender shall SO re-
quest, a receipt shall be taken on the
delivery of any registered mail. show
ing to whom and when the same was
delivered. which receipt shall be re-
turned to the sender. and be received
in courts as prima facie evidence of
such delivery"
Big Increase Here.
For the fiscal year ending June so
the number OF registered letters for,
warded from this office was SO,O44: tho
number received for delivery from
other offices was 13s.200; and tho
number in transit (handled by this
office). was 1l5.497. For each of these
letters or parcels delivery receipt
was issued. In the course of year
throughout the United States the
number of receipts issued and dis
patched through the malls Is enor-
nous. The cost of printing amounts
10 thousands of dollars. If the public
makes no request for sender's de-
livery receipts. this expense will be
materially cut.
That the business of the local post
office is increasing rapidly will be
shown by the record Of registered let
ters handled during the year 1909 as
compared with that of the year 1910.
The number of letters forwarded was
7s,767: the number received and de-
1ivered was 1894; and the number In
transit was 1886 making a total of
31T.147. The total OF registered let
ters handled for the year 1910 was
1874. which indicates an increase Of
1854 over the previous year,
Stamp sales for the month of June
of this year amount to s50,361.65, while
the previous year the sales were Sat-

liked. Their mothers brought them to

The nursery is at Nineteenth and

Extensive improvements will be made

Is Your Daughter Anemic?
Then Profit by This Advice
By ALICE M. GUM,
Professor of Domestic Science.

The anaemfc condition SO often
observed in sehool girls usually
arises from ole or two causes.
Girls are apt to take much less
exercise than boys. and therefore
become eonstipated-in which
condition food is not properly as
simulated and anaemia results.
This may often be regulated by a
larger supply of green vegetables
or fruit in the diet or in provid-
ing a larger bulk of food. Amaze
mia Is dearth of red blood cor
pnscies: these are provided nor
mally by animal food that con-
tains maximum of iron and ma
terial necessary for red corpuscle
making. When girls refuse meat,
especially beef, they are losing
from their diet a much needed
element; and the result is often
the thin. pale. tired looking stu
dent. Good food and fresh air
are far better than medicine in
overcoming this condition.
It is most undesirable that
either boys or girls be permitted
tasks before breakfast. Where 1t
Is unavoidable the child should be
given glass of hot milk or cocoa
with bread and butter before the
exercise. The breakfast taken
usually from z to o'clock should
be substantial, a cereal with sugar
and cream, protein in the form of
meat, fish or eggs. good wheat
bread and plenty of butter, and
sweets In the form Of stewed
fruits, marmaiade or Jams. Give
the cereal. not the jam. first In
the neal.
