FOOD FACTS.
What an M. D. Learned.

A prominent physician down in
Georgia went through food expert
ence which he makes public:
cit was my own experience that first
led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food !;
and l also know from having prescriD-
ed it to convalescents and other weak
patients that this food is wonderful
reb Iilder and restorer of nerve and
brain tissue, as well as muscle. 1t
improves the digestion and patients
gain, just as | did in strength and
weight, very rapidly.
Il was in such a low state that l
had to give up my work entirely and
go to the mountains. but two months
there did not improve me; in fact |
was not quite as well as when l left
home. My food did not sustain me
and it became plain that l must
change.
Il began to use Grape-Nuts and N
two weeks could walk mile, and in
five weeks returned to my home and
pl actice, taking up hard work again.
Since that time | have. felt as well ard
strong as ever did in my life.
AS a physician who seeks to help
all sufferers l consider it duty to
make these facts public
Trial 10 days on GrapeNuts when
the regular food does not seem to sus-
tain the body will work wonders.

FOR WIRELESS
COVER COAST


WASHINGTON. Feb. 9.-Secret
wireless stations In charge of alleged
confidential agents of foreign govern
ments principally German and British
dot the coasts Of the United States
and are used for the communication
of cipher messages of unneutral char
acter, according to information in the
hands of the navy and commerce de-
partment Despite the fact that these
departments have clear knowledge of
the wireless station they are SO short
of agents and money that they are
unable to put them out Of commission.
This situation is the chief contributing
cause for the new move ON the part
of the navy department to place all
radio stations in the country under
government control.
Officials here today pointed to the
case of the British Liner Appam as
illustrative of the existence of these
secret receiving stations. About noon
the day before the Appam reached
Hampton Roads an insistent rumor
reached New York that an information
al event Of momentus import was i'm
pending. The next morning the Ap-
pam appeared. Officials asserted that
news of her approach was conveyed
to the secret wireless station and
leaked out. Other similar incidents in
addition to more details are known to
the navy and commerce department
officials.

WASHINGTON, Feb. with rhe
settlement of the Lusitania dispute
with Germany assured, the administra-
tion today was prepared to bring to
a head many questions in which Great
Britain and her allies are deeply in
terested. They include: @
4 further and sharper protest
against the Illegal interference with
American mails.
A demand that the allies live up to
their original assurance that they
would not place cotton on the contra
band list
A demand that the allies keep their
promises to permit American import
ers to bring to the United States goods
now in Holland warehouses of Austri-
an and German origin, valued at $780,
100000.
A demand that Great Britain accept
the views of this government regard
ing the right of Americans to trade
with neutral countries without being
subjected to the annoyances which
now interfere with the importers of
the United States.
II Is understood that all of the data
for these demands will be prepared
by Secretary of State Lansing, but
that only one or two will go forward
until after the return to Colonel E. M.

The state utilities commission act,
passed in 1913, contains no provision
which would require this city to sub.
nit the purchase question to the vot-
ers at an election"
'The 1905 act, and it's 1915 amend
ment, even if both have not been in
validated by the public commission
law, have no bearing on the local sit
uation. This amended law of 1905
pertains solely, as the law clearly sets
forth, only to cities who are entering
upon the policy of constructing mu-
nicipal utility plant. This law pro-
vides for an election.
"Is Richmond, in purchasing the L.,
H. and P. electric plant, entering
upon a policy of municipal owner
ship? l have been laboring under the
impression that the city embarked
upon the policy of municipal owner
ship over fifteen years ago,
'If the attorney for one of the local
banks has ruled that the city has no
legal right to borrow money to pur-
chase the private electric plant l can
only say that his ruling is in line with
his consistent policy of attempting to
thwart every enterprise this admins
tration has attempted.
"If one cent of taxes was involved
in the proposed transaction l would
favor referring the question to the
people at an election. But this is not
the case Earnings of the municipal
plant and money borrowed on that
plants credit are alone involved in
the proposed deal, and the project is
for the sole purpose of reducing cleo
trio rates in Richmond and to reduce
our city rate of taxation

MUSICAL PROGRAM
OF UNUSUAL Merit
PLEASES RICHMOND

BY far the most interesting musical
event of its kind given in this city for
some time was the harp and song re-
cital at the Gennett theatre last even
ing, when Miss Laura CASTOR Of the
Earlham college musical department,
presented Miss Mildred Dilling, harp
list. and Miss Valerie DeuScber, vocal
list. The theatre was almost filled and
the patroness list included the names
of society as well as musical folk of
the city.
Miss Dilling has charming person
ality and knows how to play the harp.
Since her last appearance in this city
sh has made marked Improvement.
Miss Dilling has a deep insight into
her numbers which included Ara
besque," by Debussy. and "Patrouille,' y
by Hasselmans. AS an accompanist
she is also good and is conspicuous
for her technical reliability and strict
" musical quality.
Hiss Deuschers numbers were a
rare treat and in each set in which
she appeared she wore the costume
of the Irish, English and the old
French Vatican gown. Her old
English melodies, including THE Lass
With the Delicate Air. THE Dumb
Wife Cured" Believe Me If All
Those Endearing Young Charms and
20, No. John" were really exception
ally good.
The vocalist has sweet clear voice
and is able to reach high notes with
out the least difficulty Many of her
selections last evening were light and
gay but she sang several which show
ed that her lower notes are full and
rich and that she can do heavier work.

location of the bridge. This, they an
nounce, will be threshed out at the
meeting Saturday.
The next step in the preliminary
plans, after the site is decided upon
will be to determine when the bridge
should be built. Because of the insist
ent demand on the part of the resi-
dents of the South side and the resi-
dents across the river, the commits
sioners will undoubtedly decide to
build it in 1916. The tentative plan OF
the commissioners includes this but
action will not be taken definitely
until after Saturday.
Call County Council.
Finally, the commissioners will call
meeting Of the county council to
make appropriation for the prelimi.
nary work, putting them on record
as favoring the construction of the
bridge.
South Siders are jubilant over the
action taken by the county officials
during the past week and say that
they will adhere strictly to the prom
Use made at the meeting last week at
which time they agreed to keep
hands off" while the commissioners
decided upon the location. Although
many different opinions have been
expressed on the advisability OF locat-
ing the bridge at the various sites
proposed, there seems to be little dis
position on the part of either the
members of the 8. S. "A. or the S.
W. l. A. to block the decision of the
commissioners for either one of the
proposed sites.

have represented to Judkins that if he
opposes Oliver P. Lafuze of Union
county, for the nomination as joint
representative. he will have violated
an ancient precedent, which provides
that the two counties shall alternate
in the nomination of candidates for
this office. Judkins has been inform
ed that it is now Union county's turn
to select a candidate.
Judkins has retorted that until this
year Wayne and Union have been
jointly represented in the legislature
by a senator, not a representative, and
that, consequently, he is violating no
precedent.
It is understood that Union county
Republicans are preparing to demand
that the Wayne county Republican or

Lafuze candidacy in the event Judkins
persists in his refusal to withdraw his
candidacy.

Lee Nichols, about so years old, is
held by the police on complaints that
he has been leading astray young
girls. Nichols, with wife residing in
Centerville, has been living in an
apartment on Main street, between
Fourth and Fifth.
A number of girls were questioned
yesterday afternoon and today regard
ing the charges. Chief Goodwin says
the stories they told are shocking.
LAS the result of my Investigations,
it is apparent that the man has been
maintaining a harem in true Turkish
fashion, Chief Goodwin said. "The
girls are all between sixteen and
twenty years. We discovered that at
one time no less than five girls were
living with Nichols"
Young Girls Come.
One of the girls summoned before
Chief Goodwin today did not seem to
be more than fifteen years old An
other girl was sent to the Home for
the Friendless after she had given her
testimony.
One of Nichols attorneys said his
client had no improper relations with
the girls He said many had no homes
and that Nichols took friendly in
terest in them and provided them with
shelter ITO some of these girls
Nichols has been better friend than
their parents" this attorney stated.
Chief Goodwin said if it were pos
sible to do SO, charge would be
preferred against Nichols which would
mean a penitentiary sentence, if con-
viction is secured.
Offers Employment.
1t is charged that one of Nichols
favorite methods of enticing girl to
his room was to offer her employment
as his housekeeper.
1--WE have been told" the chief
added, that after Nichols had Sc
duced a girl, obtained as a housekeep-
er, he would ask her to invite several
of her most attractive friends to the
rooms So far we have not discover
ed an instance where the man paid
these girls. Some girls said that
Nichols would notify them that if
they were dissatisfied to stay without
compensation, they could get out and
find other places.
Gives Them Liquor.
"Girls also have declared that after
being induced to visit Nichols rooms.
he would get them intoxicated"
Chief Goodwin added that probably
an arrest would be made of middle
aged woman, who was found at the
Nichols apartment a few night ago,
when two police officers called. The
police want to find out if this woman
has been acting as procuress for
Nichols.
When police officers visited Nichols
harem they warned him, Chief
Goodwin says, that he must stop hav-i
ing young girls visit his rooms. The.
following day Nichols and an attor-
ney called at police headquarters and
demonstrated against the action of
the two officers.

postpone making definite plans for the
remodeling of the Garfield school un-
til recommendation are made as the
result of the survey. By eliminating
the freshman class from the high
school it is thought that the present
building will be large enough to ac-
commodate the introduction of addi-
tional vocation courses to be deter
mined as a result of the survey.
Dr. Leonard explained that the va
rious phases of the survey work will
be taken up separately and that there
is no excuse for some factions in the
city being in rush about demanding
a voice in the survey. He said that as
the different divisions of work are ta-
ken up, as have been outlined, the To-
cal advisory committee will be ap-
pointed. The membership of these
committees will include representa-
tives from the trades unions, the en-
ployers and employees and other citi-
zens interested in the particular line
taken up. These committees will be
organized in due time, he said
Survey is Divided.
The survey has been divided into
two main lines of work. First the
school phase of the work, with an in
tensive study into school conditions
with suggested remedies; second, a
study into the phases of profitable en-
ployment in the city, the study to be
used in determining what courses
should be introduced. Dr. Leonard ex-
planned further that the school phase
of the question would be taken up
first othat the school board may
be able to go ahead with preliminary
plans for the Garfield school improve
ments.
Four experts will have charge of the
work in the city, which will take from
three to five months to complete.
Prof F. d. Fleming, who is now in
Cleveland, will arrive within few
days to assist in the work. He was
formerly connected with the United
States Census bureau. Another expert
Will be appointed to the local field
within short time. The study of the
schools proper will require proba bly, a
month and half. DR.. Leonard said.
Headquarters have been opened in
the Commercial club rooms, the prin-
cipal office being the room east of
the auditorium on the second floor of
the Masonic temple. A stenographer
has been employed.
