1T will also be noticed under the
new rules governing the service of the
two plants that they do not guaran-
tee their readiness to serve, but re-
quire business concerns to pay for
such protection" Mr. Reid continued
IF we are to pay for readiness to
serve protection we should be guar
anted against inefficient management
Of the plants, poor equipment and
other things"
The minimum charge of S. where
double throw switches for lighting cur
rent are used, and the minimum
charge of rs cents per horse power
per month for power current are the
features of the new schedules which
have occasicned the most protest.
The assertion is made that these
rates are so excessive that large
number of concerns will find it too
costly to maintain connections with
both plants for protective purposes;
that only those few concerns which
use so much current each month as to
not be effected by the minimum
charges for lighting and power will
be Indifferent to those features of the
new schedules.

rector as we'll as musician of abil-
lty The orchestra will be assisted by
Mr.. Thomas. a baritone singer of New
York, and Miss Carolyn Hutton, a
young violinist OF this city. 1t is
hoped the Coliseum will be filled on
this occasion, as the cause is q worthy
one, and the concert will no doubt be
well worth the price of admission.
For several years the orchestra has
been rehearsing about once a week,
and the members have given their
time and work in order to make the
organization what it is today. 1t is
probably the best organization of its
kind in this part of the country. Not
long ago a very complimentary article
concerning the Richmond organization
appeared in neat publication written
by several Lafayette musicians.
Mrs Charles Igelman. vocal and Miss
Mildred Schalk, instrumental, will have
charge of the Music Study club pro-
gram when the meeting will be held

do You Take This Woman to be
Your Lawful Wife," to be sung by
Harold Myers. This number will be a
special feature of part one of the pro-
gram. The other songs will be equally
attractive Howard Messick. who will

quite a little ability along this line
of work, and has appeared to good
advantage in several amateur perform

LANSING ASKS DATE|
High School Orchestra Invit-
ed to Michigan.

That the Richmond high school Or
chestra is gaining fame as one of the
foremost musical organizations in this
country is evidenced by the fact that
it mas been asked to hold concert
at Lansing. Mich, if the proper ar
rangements can be completed.
The organization, under the direc-
ton of Director Sloane, has made
rapid strides in gaining a national
reputation. At the meeting of the In
diana Teachers association at Indian
apolis last week, the Richmond orches-
ira was the hit of the meeting. 1t was
the opinion of everyone that heard
the musicians that Prof. Sloane's pro-
teges are the best trained of any
similar body in the state.

NOSTRILS AND HEAD STUFFY
FROM COLD OR CATARRH?

balm dissolves by the heat of the nos
trils: penetrates and heals the in
famed, swollen membrane which lines
the nose, head and throat; clears the
air passages; stops nasty discharges
and a feeling of cleansing, soothing
relief comes Immediately.
Don't lay awake tonight struggling
for breath, with head stuffed; nostrils
closed, hawking and blowing. Catarrh
or a cold. with its running nose, foul
mucous dropping into the throat, and
raw dryness is distressing but truly
needless.
Put your faith-just once-in "Ely's

tarrh will surely disappear.

Miss SuPaH'S
Hair Secret

The Celebrated Stage Beauty's Re
mar!<abIe Method of Forcing Hair to
Grow Luxuriantly, and how 70 He-
move Backheads in a Few Minutes,
as Recommended by Valeska 'Suratt
in the Boston American.
Every woman should know that Il
is now Just as easy to have glorious
hair as it is not to have it. Yet thous-
ands are daily wasting their time and
money using the various 'anciently
modern formulas sold today in pre-
pared form for the treatment of hair.
Just for once now, use something diff
ferent, and see the result in just
short time. You will hardly believe
your own eyes. This hair treatment
nOurishes and stimulates the hair
cells. makes hair grow profusely, and
absolutely stops hair from falling out.
To half a pint of alcohol add half a
pint of water Tor else you may use a
full pint of bay rum if you wish) and
to this add one ounce of beta-Quinol,
which will cost no more than fifty
cents at the drug store. This makes
quantity of fragrant, oil-less, clearly
hair grower that would otherwise cost
you many dollars if bought already
prepared. Besides, it has no equal in
results"
For biackheads. Miss Suratt says:
Most women try to squeeze them out,
and after a time the complexion IS ru-
ined by a SCATTERING of red spots
where the squeezing out was done.
Sprinkle some neroXin on hot, wet
sponge and rub it over the blackheads,
and you will marvel how quickly the
blackheads will vanish-in few min
utes The neroXin will cost no more
than fifty cents at the drug store, and
is certainly worth it."
