Bright Outlook For Spring
Business.

That Richmond merchants are get
ting ready to break all past records with
spring business is evident from the fact
that there has never been brought to this
city more elaborate stocks of goods for
the seasons trade than are now on dis
play in the various storerooms. Every
article to be desired can be found here,
each firm having the very latest styles
and fashions in their particular lines, so
there is absolutely no need for anyone to
go to other cities to satisfy the most ex-
acting tastes. Not only viii you find
the best of everything the arket af
fords in Richmond, but you will discov-
er on comparison that prices here for
the same goods are much lower than in
other cities. Take the advice of the
Climax and and leave your mouey at
home; trade with home merchants and
thereby assist in the upbuilding OF your
home town.

been subjected to the bleaching process.
That in dough made from bleached flour
the gluten never attained the toughness
found in dough from unbleached and
properly aged flour, and that this tough
ness was valuable property in the max
ing of bread. In other words, that as an
ultimate result of the mixing of the flour
with nitrogen peroxide gas the bread
making quality had been injuriously
affected. We are not concerned
with the opposing testimony. 1t was
for the jury to determine the fact and
the court did not err in refusing TO per-
emptorily instruct for the claimant so
far as the claim of adulteration was
based on the first subdivision before
quoted"
Because OF snch reason, the Federal
and State departments will find sufficient
law to require bleached flour to be so Ia
beled, and will undoubtedly issue such
a regulation at an early date. During
the laws delay" pending decision
by the Supreme Court, the bleaching
has gone on, except in in few states
like North Daknota and Kentucky, and
with no means by which consumers can
exercise their preference between the
bleached and the unbleached product.
Let the plain label tell the facts. Plain
labelling will give pure flour an opportu-
nifty to compete in the market that will
greatly handicap those who continue TO
bleach. Already one of the largest mills
of the country is advertising that its

going TO be preferred by consumers, and

Concerning the exhilarating joys of

reserving their forces in this direction
for further appeal to the public; for
Billy had settled that each week and
every month the installment of his ad-
vertisement should be as freshly written
as the periodical in which it appeared.

explained, sheepishly.
The date approached when Billy's

he decided that he must consult with
some one before the copy was sent in, so
he said to David:

I'll take the auto and run out to the

Odd Contrast. In Climate.

New York is usually thought of as
being directly west from London. It
is. however. despite its far more rigor-
GUS climate. 900 miles nearer the equa-
tor than is the British capital. The
bleak coast Of Labrador is directly
west Of London. The same line passes
the southern part Of Hudson bay and
Lake Winnipeg. On the other side Of
the continent 1t touches the southern
extremity of Alaska and continues
through the center of the isthmus Of
Kamchatka and Siberia and Russia to
Homburg.
Another illustration Of the unexpect.
ed in contrasts is found in a compari-
son Of st. Johns. Newfoundland, with
Paris. Paris has a winter Of compare
tive mildness. while st. Johns is q re-
gion Of bitter cold and fogs. with drift
ing icebergs along its coast. Yet st.
Johns is 100 miles nearer the equator.

WATER IN COAL MINES.
Pumping Il Out Costs q Big Pile Of
Money Every Year.


1t costs quite bit Of money to pump
1,OOO.O0OOOO tons Of water out Of the
anthracite mines of Pennsylvania every
year. but it must be done or there
could be no mines. In times past, col
lieries were abandoned because Of in
ability to cope with the water flowing
into them. but more and more pumps.
some of them costing $4,000 and $4O.-
600 each. have been installed. and the
enormous amount of work they do is
all that enables the operators to keep
open the mines.
The calculation as to the amount Of
water handled in this way is simple.
The output of the mines is little less
than 100000 tons year. The av-
erage amount Of water pumped is about
fifteen tons for every ton of coal pro-
duced. The cost Of this is one of the
most important elements in the in
creased cost Of mining As the richer
and more accessible veins have been
exhausted. shafts have been sunk
deeper and the volume Of water to be
pumped has increased rapidly.
The pipes. of which there are thou
sands of miles in the mines. wear out
quickly because the sulphur in the
mine water eats into the iron like an
acid. This destructive quality prohib-
its the use of the water in the boilers
that generate steam at the collieries,
and the result is that. when there Is a
drought. the companies often are oblig-
ed to haul water to the mines in tank
cars from many miles away.-New
York Post.
