SEALER KELLY'S HELPFUL HINTS
 TO HOUSEWIVES
Becomes Real Author And Gives Inside
 Information
Says When the Butcher Trims the Meat, He May Be
 Trimming Customer

Sealer of Weights and Measures Dennis Kelly has become a. real au- thor, and from the pages of his book comes the announcement of some of the most radical changes from accept ed customs which have confronted the public in some years.
 The long complaining housewife will undoubtedly rejoice when she reads many of the newly ordered changes in the sale Of household commodities. For be it known that she is instruct ed no longer to permit the butcher to trim from the meat she has bought, the bone and fat, under penalty of prosecution for selling short weight She may, and is advised to, demand every particle of the meat as weighed and charged for, or to report the in- cident to the seaier that he may pro- ceed against the proprietor. The cus- tomer is also instructed what disposi- ton can be made of the waste, such as being rendered into lard, soap, etc.
 And the accommodating sealer is somewhat of a humorist in the han ding of his pamphlet entitled "A Few Facts About Weights and Measures or What Every Housekeeper Should Know He relates how many butch CTS are very Accommodating in sell ing meat at 2S cents Der pound and ''trinming' both meat and customer by cutting off large quantities of bone and fat which he afterwards sells at ''6, and cents per pound.''
 Among other hints are to keep the eye constantly on the scale of the merchant, not permitting him to touch 1t with his hand, and calling particu- lar attention to the methods of un- scrupulous merchants in using that slight slight of hand scale l1noVyIsszae'- .-7or1s- pufing.''
 Warning is sounded against the sending of orders by telephone which according to the sealer allows the greatest opportunity to defraud- Rec contradictions are given as to the measuring of coal bins and the com putting of amounts put in at each time by the local dealer whose frauds are exposed.
 Hundreds of methods of defrauding are shown up, which are not only of to the housewife but to the merchants and those in almost any walk Of life. Many handy tables are also incorporated.
 A chapter is devoted to the enforced sale Of coal by weight, elsewhere men toned in these columns.

RICHMOND MAN
AMONG THE SAVED
Austin Focht, of Richmond, Says He
Was Saved From a Life of Mis-
cry by United Doctors.
OTHERS HAD FAILED.
All Callers Before Sunday, May IS,
to Prove Their Claims.

In order to convince any person who
is sick, that the newer and more sci
entific methods used by the United
Doctors will cure when ordinary doc
tors have failed, these great medical
experts have agreed to treat free of
charge any person who calls at their
institute on the second floor of the
Hittle Block, Main and Ninth streets,
before May 25th. No charge will be
made for examinations, consultation
or treatment, but each person will be
required to pay for only the medicine
actually used. Many Richmond people
have been cured by these specialists,
and they are sending their friends to
the institute. Mr.. Austin Focht, of
this city, tells what they did for him
In the following letter:

One Real War Scare

There is one war scare now abroad in the
land which is founded on something more SUBJ
stantial than the fevered imaginations of a few
yellow journalists.
This war scare was launched with the intro
duction of the Wilson, Underwood tariff bill in
the senate and is now progressing at such rate
that it will soon be past the "scare" age and
will be real, dyed-in-the-wool war. And by the
way wool plays prominent part in the impend-
ing conflict
Reports from Washington nave it that ma
jority of western Democratic senator's have
jumped the reservation and have raised the war
cry give us duty on wool or blood"
A small but vociferous senatorial delegation
from Dixie chants at the same time, death be-
fore free sugar. and the disturbed Princeton
professor in the white house is daily becoming
more impressed with the truth of General Sher-
mans classic remark.
If a certain distinguished professor of law at
Yale, who recently moved out of the white house
at Washington is indugng in few smiles, who
can blame him?
The tariff rocks ahead of the good ship
Democracy are as numerous and dangerous as
the ones on which the Republican ship of state
was wrecked, and such rocks will always be
menace to political navigation until they have
been removed by tariff commission such as ad-
vocated by the Progressive party.
President Wilson has a mans size job ahead
of him this summer for the fate of his party is
at stake.

A Deserved Rebuke

The sensational section of the American
press received a deserved rebuke from Secretary
of the Navy Daniels Saturday when he denounced
an attempt now being made to start scare
over the Japanese situation.
Every incident that can be possibly twisted
into a military move in preparation for
a Japanese campaign has been eagerly seized
upon by the yellows, which announce in
screaming headlines over each distorted report
that there now appears to be no doubt that hos
tilities can be expected in the near future.
few days ago the submarine flotilla sta
toned at Newport, r. l., suddenly ordered
to sea for maneuvers. The yeows promptly an
nounced this to be mysterious move on the
part of the navy department and predicted it
was directed against Japan. No consideration
was given to the fact that it would probably take
a year for these little vessels to cruise to the
California coast.
This distortion of news regarding naval move
nents has now become so embarrassing to the
navy department that it has been necessary for
the department to issue orders that all vessels in
the Pacific ocean hold their present anchorage
until negotiations over the California anti-alien
land law have progressed farther.
Mr.. Daniels might have pointed out that the
majority of the newspapers which have been try
ing to manufacture war scare have consistently
refused to lend their support to the patriotic
movement for the improvement of our national
defenses.
Today there is popular sentiment in favor
of strong navy, but the yellows have had no
part in creating such sentiment. They have
been too busy with scandals and war scares to
pay any attention to such vitality important
policy.

Remedies for Floods

The United States weather bureau has now
completed its work of collecting data the caus-
es of the recent Ohio floods. The bureau found
that in the northwestern part of the state there
was rainfall of six inches from March % to %.
In the central part of the state there was a rain
fall of ten inches while in broad belt extending
across the southern section of the state there
was precipitation of eight inches.
This large volume of water established new
high water marks for every river in Ohio and
precipitated the disastrous floods.
R.V. r. Reynolds of the United States forest
service in discussing the question of whether
such floods be prevented, suggests the fol-
lowing remedies:
First, the deepening and Strengthening of riv-
er channels to carry off the peak of the floods.
Second, the construction of storage reser-
voirs.
Third, the reforesting of areas not suitable
for agriculture purposes.
The suggestions offered by Mr.. Reynolds ap-
pear to be practical. The great trouble is that
the government will continue its Anticipated, i'm
practical policy of river improvements in the alb
sence of popular pressure to bring about nee
essary reforms.

THE DREAMER.
BY Theodosia Garrison.

The gipses passed her little gate
She stopt her wheel to see
A brown-faced pair who walked the road,
Free as the wind is free;
And suddenly her tidy room
a prison seemed to be.
Her shining plates against the walls,
Her sunlit, sanded floor,
The brass-bound wedding-chest that held
Her linens snowy store,
The very wheel whose humming died
Seemed only chains she bore.
She watched the foot-free gpsies pass;
She never know or guessed
The wistful dream that drew them close
The longing in each breast
To some day know a home like hers,
Wherein their hearts might rest.
