as we'll for the town itself to have them Sc
cure the nurse.
But why should that debar the city from hav
ing nurse of its own? Richmond needs five
nurses; it should, by all means, have at least
three. If the work to be done is to be done thor
oughly and not in half hearted and unscentific
manner less than three will avail. So why
can't the Domestic Science Association have its
nurse and why can't the city have its own
at the same time? There need be no clash be-
tween the two If the city were to secure one as
an all time nurse for outdoor aid and another to
give half time to that and the other half to the
school medical examiners we would still be in
adequately supplied.
Some day perhaps, when we have emerged
from the barbarism and stupidity which now
rules in city government and when the town can
free itself from the tyranny of the state, we can
have health department efficiently and ade-
quately organized to take of all phases and
lines of city health work. There will then be nc
need to cast suspicion on department, but all
can feel that the city administration is the agent
Of the public through which can all work fo1
public good.

say to you, either by letter or in our

wants to beat you whenever he can.

vance so as to give us chance to get
the goods from the factory with your
money. You may have 10 wait a few
weeks. but this is our way of doing
business. Insist on your local mer-
chant having the goods always on
hand whenever you condescend to call
on him. Then make him send it to
your home on approval, keep ii a
few days, and then return it. In most
cases it will be so badly soiled by that

Are We a Cold People?

Rev Honeywell complains that Richmond
people seem cold and are difficult to warm up to.
After having been here three or four days he
could recall only dozen Or two who had volun-
tariv approached him to make him feel welcome
to the city.
The evangelist is not alone in feeling this.
Newcomers are often heard to remark that they
have received a rather frigid reception The
town. as thew express it. seems frozen and
all their efforts cannot avail to break the ice.
A Young mechanic, who has responsible pO-
siion in local factory said in our presence that
he moved to Richmond three years ago and that
he and his wife had not yet found single friend
or neighbour land yet" he said 'in former
home were thought of as very sociable people
and had scores of associates
professional man moved into the city some
time ago and quickly sought an entrance for him.
self and family into the cty's social life He
shouldered his burdens of civic responsibility
and he has done much noble work in many public
lines, but to date neither he his family have
been able to break through the crust.
A family moved in from the country half
year ago; they are well to do, have an attractive
home, fine people and as we'll cultured as any
city dWeer, but up till now have received not a
single call from their neighbors and not one per
son from the church into which they took their
letters has paid them visit.
What is the reason for this social paralysis :?
1t is because. a Richmond lawyer explained it,
that the town is not yet out of its village stage
end that society is so mOnopozed by the "old
families that newcomers, uncOnnected with
these houses, have chance? We are loathe to
think so Richmond is too large for such boor-
ishness.
But whether not are cold people and
whether not these typical cases unfortunately
happened to strike the wrong neighbOrhOod, one
thing is certain-We are made Of that same hu-
man stuff which cOmposes mankind elsewhere
and may be agreeable, sociable and as
democratic in our lives people anywhere. Per-
haps might thaW out the community by MAX
ing use of schoo-houses as social centers
where neighbors might find out what fine folks
they all are.

The Visiting Nurse

The city's attention has been called to a
friendly controversy between the Domestic Sci
cnce Association and Professor Russell regarding
- visiting nurse. The ladies have arranged to Sc
cure and manage her efforts and support her
privately; the professor argues that it would
have been better had this work been done under
the direction of the city health department.
After viewing this question from all angles
il seems to US the two sides have no possible
cause for disagreement. For the most part it ap-
pears both are right.
The ladies right in insisting that the city
has shown no disposition to undertake the work
and is not now organized in such fashion as to
be able to handle the matter with competency
And they are to be commended for busying
themselves with such an occupation rather than
with those ieiune and trivial activities to which
womens clubs too often devote themselves. It
speaks volumes for the growing sense of social
solidarity and social obligation that the ladies
have voluntarily assumed task that will in
time come to be burden and a heavy obliga-
ton It will mean much for organized club life

THE SPICE OF LIFE

do not envy him who neer
Has borne the bruises of defeat
Whose pathways have been smooth and fair,
Whom Chance has never learned to cheat;
For he has never claimed the sweet
Reward that comes to those who dare
To be triumphant to possess
The splendid solace of success
Won after failure and despair.
do not envy lovers who
Have never found their love betrayed,
Who love but and journey through
Life by one little passion swayed
For they have never gladly laid
Aside the false love for the true,
And they have missed his splendid thrill
Who, having loved in vain, still
Forget the ache and love anew.
do not envy him whose days
Have all been peaceful days and bright
Who has not looked with envous gaze
On luckier who scorned his plight:
For he has never the right
To proudly listen to the praise
Which is reserved for those who gain
Their hOnors after bitter pain
And many storms and long delays.

Do not make the error Of regarding
grip as an exaggerated cold. There
is a big difference between the two.
Grip is an epidemic disease that poi
sons the vital organs. When a per-
son has grip, the air passages are
alive with millions of bacill poison
ing the blood. The infected person
feels tired and exhausted.
1t requires q good tonic laxative to
keep the body of the patient as strong
as possible to counteract the effect of
the poisOns created by the grip bacil-
lus. An expectorant tonic with some
laxative qualities is the safest rem
edy. Such is Peruna. Beware es-
pecially of coal tar powders or tablets
because they lessen the vitality OF the
patient.
There is no specific for the grip.
Peruna has been used with good
success in former grip epidemics. In
dications point to the return Of grip
this winter.

Viacha, the route turns eastward to
ward the CordiIlera. the line climbing
slowly in wide sweeps over the dusty
and shrubless plateau on whose thin
grass sheep are browsing. There is
not house visible. and the smooth
slope seems to RUIZ right up against
the mountain wall beyond. Where can
La Paz be? asks the traveller.
Presently. however. he perceives
strings of llamas and donkeys and
wayfarers on foot moving along the
slope toward point where they all
suddenly vanish and are no more seen.
Then a spot is reached where the rail-
way itself seems to end between a few
sheds. He gets out and walks a few
yards to the east and then suddenly
pulls up, with a start, on the edge of a
yawning abyss.

the friend.

as running survey nowadays with

how much light you have and how

NATURAL ELECTRICITY.
Tapping the Air For u Problem
That Battles Science,


In answering the question. "Is tn,
prophecy that went the rounds about
twenty years ago that some way OF
tapping nature and thus securing un
limited supplies Of electricity from all
or from space coming true" Edgar
Lucien Larkin In the New York Ameri
can says:
The nearest approach TO the great
work of tapping natures unlimited
store OF electricity is the act allowing
irrigating streams from high noun
tains to turn turbine generators over
and over again In different power
plants along down the sides of the
mountains and then after securing all
mechanical work Of gravitation secure
growing work in the growth of food
plants. This is the height ut present
of human skill in the work of tapping
nature"
Windmils turning armatures is an
other way of tapping. And the cap
ture of water in tides, using the force
of outflow. is still another. We still
have the dynamos with us. We must
turn armatures with their polar fields
of magnetic lines.
We must use running water or flow.
ing winds to tap nature or burn carbon
under boilers. which is too expensive
and prosaic to be called the high art of
tapping. as one would turn faucet.
l suppose my correspondent means
just tapping free supply. This auspi-
cious event has not arrived unless
using solar engines is tapping. Heat
reflected by mirrors directly from the
MONDAY sun upon boilers has been
made to generate steam and turn ar
natures.
Another way of tapping is to allow
the sun to shine ON thermo electric
piles. unions of ends of bars of unlike
metals.
What my friend evidently wants is
electricity as cheap as air, water and
sunlight. This really is the dream Of
electricians. Since nothing exists but
electrons, and these are electricity. it
does seem that we ought to get all we
want for nothing by merely taking or
tapping the supply. But Edison.
Thomson. Rutherford and Tesla and
Steinmetz have not blazed the way
into this unknown problem Of the
ages.
have no doubt that man will make
this conquest. for the mind phasing in
man is illimitable.

AREA OF THE LUNGS.
Nature Has Given Us a Very Liberal
Margin of Safety.


Psychologists have long observed
that many Of the organs necessary to
life have much larger capacity, than is
really necessary. 1t is generally agreed.
for instance, that under ordinary con-
diti0ns one kidney would serve every
purpose. although we are supplied with
two. As the same is true of other
glands. the conclusion is irresistible
that nature, in providing for the vari.
Gus functions upon which our exist
epce depends, has left a very liberal
margin Of safety. This is especially
true Of the lungs.
In cases of pneumonia the functions
Of one lung have been entirely sus.
pended for q time. but life has per-
sisted. as 1t has in those instances
where tuberculosis has very materially
esetailed breathing capacity. Such
cnses have led to experiments In arti.
1c1aily lessening lung areas for time
- order to discover. II possible. what
~ margin Of safety really is.
By Introducing inert nitrogen gas
into the chest of the subject an artifl.
ctsl pneumothorax is formed which
nay be varied at will. causing CORE
spending variations in lung capacity.
b this means Courmont finds that
pefyons who submit themselves to his
Investigations get along very we'll with
> quarter Of the usual lung capacity.
Similar experiments in a Paris hos
p1tal show that patients deprived Of
6vesixths Of their breathing capacity
su4er very little Inconvenience and ex-
hibit no symptoms Of the lack Of q
proper amount of oxygen
The conclusion is that If one can live
with one-sixth Of his lung power he
ought to do very well indeed with a
single lung.-BOston Herald.
