Gentleman of thea "Old SCHOOL,
Who Keeps Up With the Times.

Many people have poor teeth, weak
gums, sore teeth and other bother
some troubles that prevent vigorous
mastcation of food. And instead OF
eating soft, mushy food that pals on
the appetite they go in for those say
ory dishes, the very odor of which
starts the saliva and makes the stom-
ach fairly revel with anticipation.
This is but natural condition {.
Anything else borders upon the in
difference which fosters indigestion
and chronic dyspepsia.
1t may be safely said that it should
not be a question of diet or kind of
fod, or teeth or even any of the re"
flexes which are supposed to have
their influence in deranging the stOm-
ach. 1t is simply a matter of sup
plying the stomach and digestive or
gans with those known assistants
such as pepsin, and hydrochloric
acid, both of which have a direct and
powerful action upon the contents of
the stomach.
One grain of a single ingredient in
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
5000 grains of food. This saves your
stomach and gives it the rest it needs.
All muscles require occasional rest
if they are ever overtaxed. The
stomach is no exception to this rule.
Try box of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and you will wonder how you
ever got along without them. They
are sold at so cents by all druggists
everywhere.

There could be no better medi-

with whooping cough. One of them
was in oed, had a high fever and

Remedy and the first dose eased
them, and three bottles cured them.

AND HIS STOMACH
IS ALL RIGHT
Thousands with Poor Teeth Have
Good Digestion by Using Stuart's
DYapepsia Tablets After Meals.

Whether or not we eat too much,
is matter for individual judgment.
Benjamin Franklin tried the expert
ment Of living on handful Of raisins.
But he discovered that the question
wasn't what he ate nor the quantity
thereof, but one of digestion and as
similation. The normal person eats
heartily, and with keen enjoyment.
That is because his mind doesn't an
ticipate stomach trouble. And if he
doesn't have an attack of sour stom-
ach or indigestion he knows that the
use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give
quick relief.

Persia, despite the fact that he was
expelled from his office of treasurer
general of that country through
pressure from Russia and Great
Britain, and driven from the nation.
Mr.. Shuster, who is in this city to-
day, en- route to his home in Wash
ington, from Teherran, is going to Lon
don, where, on Jan. goth, he will ad-
dress the Persian committee. founded
by the members of the House of Com
mons, exposing new angles of The
intrigue which overthrow Persia's at
tempts at independence.
The most striking declaration made
by Mr.. Shuster was that Russian ag-
gressiveness has had the remarkab BILE
effect of turning Persian women, who
are noted throughout the world for
their meekness and servility, into
militant Suffragettes.
Hundreds of the women armed
themselves, and not only threatened
to shoot any member of the Persian
MeJliss of Parliament, but offered to
go 20 war against the Russian Cos
sacks.
Il nope 70 reach the United States
about the middle OF next month";" said
Mr.. Shuster today.
I'm the meantime my interest in
Persia remains mistaken. However,
think l must conscientiously say that
my stay in Persia did not benefit the
people, thanks to Russia. Any man
of ordinary intelligence could have
done wonders. if given control of the
financial situation, for the country is
fertile in resources and opportunities
and the spirit of the people is pro-
gressive."

1t is undoubtedly true that the mo-

some who were inspired with the III
terror motive of having the bill kill
ed IN committee, it being the preVa-
lent belief that inasmuch as the COM
mittee had already unfavorabIy rec

though probably with unfavorable rec
concentrations. In fact, several of the
most influential members of the Gen
eral Laws Committee have assured
Mr.. Stephenson that they would do
everything possible for his measure.
The sense of the House was first
tested by a count of the hands raised
by those members who wished the bill
recommitted or voted upon. A heavy
majority against the bill was shown.
In order TO put the members on rec
ord Mr.. Stephenson demanded a roll
call. The roll showed a substantial
increase in favor of the bill. but even
on this roll several members refused
to vote when their names were called.

had been definitely settled by the 9TH

Il propose to make a tremendous
fight for my bill" Mr.. Stephenson de-
clared when il was ordered back TO the
committee. Gambling is iegalized by
the laws of this state. Other States
have repudiated gambling; why not
Virginia? II gambling is wrong. IL
should be made unlawful. Every MEM
Der in the House admits IL is wrong
and should be done away with. and
yet. strange to say. some of the men
are not willing TO back up their Opin-
ions with their votes.
But l am going to keep up my
fight, and l want to put every mem

I'VE had time good and proper
coming from Norfolk to Richmond -
said Captain James Gallagher, of the
old Dominion Steamship Company.
when speaking OF the trip from the
sea to this city on Saturday. ''The
steamer Hampton Roads left Norfolk
early i'm the morning, and because of
the heavy flow of ice in the river
we refused to take any passengers
and freight. The purpose was to
make all the landings and to do this
in hurry, so that we might keen
the river open. 1t was fight all the
way, every moment. The ice was five
inches thick every jump. Fifteen miles
this side of Norfolk, just as we got into
the river proper, the ice was found
solid from bank to bank.
when we got to Powhatan, Turkey
Bend, Harrison's Bar and Graveyard
Reach we found gorges of ice to a
depth of some fifteen to thirty inches
The Hampton Roads plowed through
il, but il was hard work to keen going
ahead. We got here about on time
and the steamer left Sunday night for
the return trip.
1t means much to keep the river
open to navigation. and had the ice
once gotten ahead of us there is no
telling when we would have been able
to get into this port"
The Old Dominion steamers are
making regular trips between this city
and Norfolk and Newport News

EQUALIZATION BILL
Meets OPPOSITION
Richmond Alone Pays $4,000
More Than All of the Hundred
Counties-Votes of Members
Will Be Watched by
Constituents.
ICH MO ND. vA-specia

Why should there be any oppo-
sltion TO the report of the State Tax
Commission asked Speaker Rich
ard Il. Byrd this morning. The re-
port of that body, which was pre-
pared by DIR. Douglas s. Freeman. is
most comprehensive, elaborate.
careful and thorough paper 1t is
clear. pointed, direct and easily I'M
derstOOd.
Let's look into this thing Just a
little. There are thirty-eight coun-
ties in the State which get from the
state over and above all they pay
in the way of taxes. $114.S3S.6O. 1t
VIII be interesting to know Just how
these counties stand in regard to the
report. l would like to know lust
how many of these favor an equitable
adjustment of values for taxation. If
these thirty-eight counties were taxed
on the same basis as the other coun-
ties they would pay into the State
more than the deficit which they now
create.
Take the other side of the case.
Every city in the State pays more
than il receives from the State. The
city of Richmond alone pays about
$4,000 more than all of the 100
counties.
rs there any reason why the mem
bers of the Legislature from any of
the cities should feel bound to vote
to longer impose this burden on them
selves and the sixty-one counties
which pay more than they receive?
why should there be any Objec-
ton TO the counties paying their fair
and just proportion of taxes? Why
should horses in one county be worth
an average of $40 and in others about
$50? Why should cattle in one coun-
ty be worth less than IS a head and
in others an average of SEQ?
An examination of DR.. Freeman's
in apfA 90 r,.r ,sat
the exceedingly ridiculous values OBJ
tain in the counties which are a drain
on the State treasury. 1t will also
show that they get money-very much
money-for pensions and schools.
Il am informed that some of the
city delegations are opposed to the
reasonably fair supervision of tax re-
turns and the general distribution of
the burdens of taxation. Before the
thing is ended these gentlemen Will
have a chance to record their senti-
ments."
Speaker Byrd is a member of the
Tax Commission. being so named by
the legislative act which created the
commission He did not have any
hand in preparing the report. and he
is opposed to the Speaker of the
House and the president of the SEN
ate being members of the commits
sion, which it is proposed to estab-
lish.
There is much opposition to the
Tax Commission bill, but the reasons
for the opposition have not come to
the surface.

bic of serious results.
1T is in no way a mutilating opera
ton" said DR.. Charles V. Darlington.
this morning. who introduced the bill
at the last session of the Legislature
1t could be properly spoken of among
physicians as an office operation and
rarely requires more than five min
utes. There is absolutely no proba-
bility, in suitable hands. of any com
plications that could endanger life.
The sense of the bill is to make a
beginning in the proper breeding of
the human race and to cut off the
progeny of degenerates, feebIe-minded
persons epileptics and the insane.
II half the care that is given to
the proper breeding of cattle. horses
and the like was given to the proper
perpetuation of the human race. in
about twenty-five years our insane
asyIums, institutes for the treatment
OF the feeble-minded, epileptic re-
sorts and prisons would be cut down
in number to about one-half"
DR.. Darlington said the bill for
sterilization had the endorsement of
the Medical Society OF Virginia, Rich
mono Academy of Medicine and Sur
gerry, Tr1-State Medical Society, COM
prising Virginia, North Carolina and
South Carolina, every alienist in the
State and the State Board of Chart
ties and Corrections.
1t is well-known fact that hered-
lty is responsible for fully so per
cent. of the detectives, insane, feeble
minded.
Among the States which have
adopted the measure are Indiana,
California, Connecticut. Iowa and
New Jersey. The measure is now
pending in Minnesota, Michigan.
Texas, Rhode Island, New York,
Massachusetts, North Carolina, South
Carolina and Alabama. Indiana was
the first State to adopt it.
Statistics show that the increase in
epilepsy, feeble-mindedness and in
sanity are increasing very rapidly in
this State, which fact makes a con-
stantly stronger demand for the en-
actment of preventative measures.

Want TO ABOLISH n j
CUTTER SERVICE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Special
President Taft has just authorized a
statement, which is reassuring TO the
people interested in the revenue cut
ter service, either as employees or ben
ficiaries of that service. lie says that
he did not intend that his message on
economy and efficiency should be a
recommendation for the adjustment
of that service from the seas, but
rather for it's consolidation with the
navy.
Friends of the cutter service all over
the country have risen up to prevent,
if possible, the adjustment of this i'm
pOrtant branch of the treasury work,
as appeared to be the plan outlined
in the recent message. These friends
have pointed to the thousands of lives
the cutters have rescued or the high
seas and the millions of dollars worth
of property that they have saved.
The attention of the President was
today called to agitation caused by his
message. He Immediately wanted ii
stated that the entire adjustment of
the cutter service was not now con-
templated and never had been. There
is a recommendation, he said, from the
committee in favor of consolidating ii
with the navy, but he had not en-
dorsed even this. He had merely re-
ferred to the possibility of this in his
message to show what the commission
was doing toward economy.

Daylight here today saw a tense
situation. The pickets were doubled
IN number, and were withdrawn fur
ther from the soldiers deadIine than
heretofore. They were no less vigil
ant, however, and no one got to work
without being challenged.
At the Arlington mills there were
several minor clashes between pickets
and soldiers. though there was no viO-
lence in any. case. Hunger has
gripped the thousands of strikers and
their families. Applications for State
and city aid pour in, and are attend
ed to when possible. The aid that is
furnished, however. is entirely made
quate but there is great suffering
among the women and children.
