This school is connected with the
Calvary Baptist Church. of which the
Rev. DIR. Edward Holyoke Is pastor.
The Sunday school adopted institu-
tienaI wt,Fk from the start as a means
of attracting larger attendance, and
for more efficient work. In the be-
ginning there were classes In gym
nasiun work for boys and girls which
met with unqualified success. The va
cant land near the church began to
develop rapidly into one of the finest
residential districts Of the city. There
being no other nearby church, the
families took naturally to Calvary
Baptist. until now there Is q church
membership of ISL and a SUNDAY
school membership of 1.006, with twa
big Bible classes of $50 and 100 men,
bers.
With the completion of the tenn
pie several years ago the first portion
of the plant was given over to insti-
tutional work, and some of the forty
two rooms are In use every day and
evening either for class work or re-
ligious projects. The church was

to-date apparatus and with the girls

STRIVE HARD TO
KILL MILK BILL
Strong Arguments Against Meas
ure to Be Presented Before
House Committee.
WORK HARM TO CITIES
Would Tie Hands of Boards of
Health in Fixing and Main
tanning Standards.
WORK HARM TO. CITIES

Fight. and fight to the DEATH" is
the word which has been passed down
the line by the opponents of the
lnroekmorton milk bill, and these OPP
ponents are now being rnarsnafled in
companies, squadrons and aa,.alions,
ready TO lead the assault when the
measure is called before the agricul-
turaf and mining committee at 4
o'clock Thursday afternoon
The hearing will be in the court
room of the State Corporation Conn
mission, none of the legislative COM
mfttee rooms being thought half large
enough TO accommodate the crowd
OF doctors. health officers, business
men. nurses. dairymen. mothers ana
representatives from commercial or
CARNATIONS expected to appear against
the bill.
Restrict Rights of Cities.
The chief objection brought against
the measure is that it deprtves the
cities Of the right to say what milk
Is good and what is bad according to
It's own standards of grading
By putting everything in the hands
OF a State commission. the city in
speCtors would be throttled. il la
pointed out, since. even If impure and
dangerous milk were. sent into a
town, they could do nothing them
selves. but would be forced to resorr
20 the commissioner at large. who
would then look into the matter.
since one commission cannot hope to
keep up with dairy conditions in
every part OF the State, upon re-
ceiving complaint, 1t il shown, an
investigation would have to be made,
and In the meantime a hundred peo-
pie might be poisoned.
Regards II Menace.
DIR. Levy. chief health officer of
Richmond. is among the strongest
antagonists.
II regard the bill as "A menace"
no said, mot only to the lives of our
citizens. but TO the honest business
of the best dairymen who would be
compelled to compete with sellers
OF impure and inferior milk BY
impure and inferior i mean all milk
sold In city which does not con-
form to the standard set by the LEGAL
health board. Numbers of dairymen
have gone to great expense to con-
fern IL the local requirements, and
now to allow anyone to sell milk In
those places which might be below
the standard would work a hardship
on the best dairics.
State inspection is a fine Idea,
but IL must not interfere with the
right Of the local health boards
The right TO decide what milk its
citizens shall drink Is q constitutional
privilege OF this city. and to withdraw
1t would be TO open the fioodgates to
sickness and disease.
Has lowered Death Rate.
Local physicians will show that the
remarkable decrease in Richmond
deaTh rate IN recent years Is due IN
large part to the efforts of the board
OF health In keeping impure milk
out OF the city. These doctors will
be supported by the Chamber of
Commerce. the sanitation commit
tee of which has just gone on record
against the bill.
Delegate Throckmorton Is far from
defeat. however, and says that he
expects his measure to pass the
committee, as he feels confident in
being able to answer and remove all
objections.

Diamonds

Are about the best possible investment for
surplus cash. You can always realize
on diamond If you have to. It's the
the same as cash itself. The enjoyment
you get out Of it is the interest on the in
vestment. A diamond is about the only
thing you can buy and wear that does not
wear out or that does not lose value with
age. A diamond is worth just as much
to-day as it was yesterday or hundred
years ago, and it win be worth just as
much in a hundred years as it is to-day.
Soinvcst your spare money in diamonds.
We have fine stock.

STAUNTON IN FIGHT

Staunton has Joined In the fight
with Richmond and other cities
against the bill transferring the

DIR. e. c. Levy, chief health officer,

cation from Charles Il. Ashbarner,
who holds tho Office OF general

Dear ,Sir.--The following resolu-
tion was adopted by the council for

II. There are many reasons why
this bili which comes up before
the committee on agriculture and
mining Feb. 8, should not become
Law. Among them 1t Ia very clear
that no State supervision of the
milk supply Of cities and towns can
be In the least effected without great
expense and the employment of. at
least as many local inspectors as
there are localities In which the sup
II ply will be used. 1t Is not supposed
that the State Ia going to engage in
J m undertaking of such magnitude,
nor Il It possible that 1t has the spare
money to inaugurate any such sys-
tenn.
III The milk supply of the city,
like Its water supply, il something
that requires constant attention. 1t
would be equally wise and equally
nxpedient to appoint State inspector
of the water supply In order to see
that no town gets hold OF AIRY polluted
water.
s'IIT. The bill Is an unwarranted
interiors nee with local self-govern-
k4Gn4. At the present time each city,
cansreguiate its own supply. make its
nMM inspections and supply Its own
standard. 1t Is true that the bill
appears to leave some privileges to
thu various corporations concerned,
but the fact that the author OF the
sbill makes these exceptions at once
shows the entire useiessness OF the
hlli, a well NJ the manner in which
State authority Is made supreme.
NV. Until the time come~ when
ME various cities are ready to abb
Aicate their police functions and the
rBtnte has enough money and enough
