Richmond, June 25.-Strong pro-

The Truth About
Electric Cooking

For large families where
the average domestic help is
employed and a large
amount of cooking done,
Electric Cooking will be
found more expensive, and
in most cases not advisable.
In small families, where.
no help is employed, and
where nice equipment is de-
sired, Electric cooking will
be found many times more
convenient, more certain IN
results and safer in opera
tion-as we'll as reasonable
in cost.
In every family, a few
utensils for early breakfast
emergency and special uses
and for cheering up cold
meals with a warm dish or
two-is highly advisable
from every standpoint, in
Guiding that of economy.

RUSSIA WANTS
 PART 0F CHINA
Demands That Mongolia 8e Civ On Full Autonomy or Fight
 Sure to Follow.

Peking, July 16.-Russia has made a demand on China for the complete autonomy of Mongolia and has made demonstration on the border of the republic, where several hundred thousand troops have been concentrated.
 The Chinese president immed- lately summoned the parliament in session and behind closed doors the matter is now being discussed.
 Chinese troops have been con- centrated but the army is small and poorly equipped and force large enough to meet the Rus sians cannot be mObiliZed.
 It is feared here that the Eur opean powers have given fr.e hand to Russia in the east on condition that she do not med dle in the Balkan trouble and that Japan is to be recompenced with a large part of Manchuria for non-interference with the Rus sian desire to add Mongolia to the Russian empire.

MULHALL TELLS ABOUT LOBBY
Continues His Disclosures of the Powerful Lobby Against
 Labor.

Washington, D. G.. July i6.- Martin Mulhall was called to the witness stand today in the Senate lobby investigation and he testified that the Inanufac- turers association had worked necessarily against all labor laws and that a black list was maintained by them and such congressman as worked for la bor were defeated if money could do it.
 Hostile conSrtSSmen were rarely re-alecteu as the assOcia- ton was aIl-powerful and spent money like water to defeat the men WhN were agitating or fav- bring labor legislation.
 The revelations of Mulhall, however, deal only with con- gressmen now dead or defeated and all members of the present Congress are tagged by him as Sinon-pure.

Washington, D.

 The democrats immediately tabled the motion and it will re- main in cold storage for years and probably never be heard of again.

STRANGE CLAIMS IN COURT
Law Suits Of Peculiar Origin That
Have Been Placed on the Rec
onos BY Lawyers.

The recent claim for damages
brought against a great London (Eng-
land shop BY q consumptiye clerk.
OF the ground that the insanitary state
os he e2ee had brought On his dis
ease, drew from the judge the remark
that this was the first case OF the
sort that had ever come before the
courts.
Cases even more remarkable keep
cropping up at intervals, though. for
tunately, they are seldom Of SO grave
nature.
Some ten years ago. fer instance, a
Birmingham commercial traveller sued
chemist for compensation for the
damages done by special hair dye
which the chemist, its inventor, had
guaranteed would turn his customers
hair an enduring brown.
What it really did was TO turn his
hair a curious blush tinge. with
patches OF gray. The chemist had Of
fered to compromise by supplying his
indignant customer with any recog-
nized make OF dye he wished for the
rest OF his life. But an action fol-
lowed, and the piebald traveller Sc
cured damages.
One OF the funniest cases ever
brought into court OF law was surely
that which uckled all Australia toward
the end OF the last century. A young
| Sydney business woman had mixed a
secret drink cure with her brothers
breakfast coffee.
The brother found the effect ex-
tremely unwelcome, and when he real
lied who was responsible for his fad
ing interest in strong drink, he was
ungrateful enough to sue his sister for
$4,000 damages for consequent loss
Of thirst" But an unsympathetic jury
took the sisters side.
A case that reused great interest in
medical circles, as well as a good deal
OF amusement, was an action brought
a good many years ago by a surgeon
at a London hospital against a col
league for the loss OF an ear.
A diseased ear was to be amputat
ed. The patient, struggling under
chloroform, was being held down. JUS
then the lights went out. The patien
fell off the edge of the table in hii
struggles and the junior surgeon lean
over after him. The operator felt al
ear In his hand, and thinking he nigh
not get another opportunity, the pa
tient being so abnormally restless
made one swift, neat slash, The oper
alton was successful, but the ear wa
the wrong mans.
