The Natural Law at Ritou.

II You were deeply in love with q
young girl who had. through the i'm
pulse OF youth and THE Natural
Law been guilty OF violation OF
the social law If you were a physician
and this girl came TO you begging your
help; II you knew that failure on
your part to accord her this help
would mean misery and disgrace; II
YOU knew that the secret would al
ways remain hidden; If you felt that
by coming to this girls rescue you
would win her undying love and de-
votton-if all these facts were clearly
before you would you violate the
tenets Of your profession?
This is the mighty problem faced by
Dr. Ralph Webster In Charles sum-
ner's absorbing drama. The Natural
Law"
The question which becomes upper
most in the mind of DR.. Webster Is
whether the famous Hippocratic oath
is binding on all physicians under
every conceivable condition. or is the
doctor, who stands in the lish. of a
confidant and friend as we'll
as guardian OF health, justified In ex-
ercising some latitude In individual
cases? !.
The solution at which DR.. Webster
arrives is one which. as presented by
the playwright, will appeal to all
thoughtful and conscientious play
geers whether professional men or
laymen. At the Bijou Theater next
week

RICHMOND ONE DAY IS
SHY OFFICIAL HEAD
Alderman Powers Declines to Act
Without Notice From Office
of City Clerk

Acting Mayor Powers did not ap-
pear in the Office of the Mayor yes
terday to act in accordance with the
provisions of the law. because. as he
explained last night. he had not been
officially notified that both the Mayor
and the president of the Board of
Aldermen were out of the city.
Under the law such notice should
have been given the Acting Mayor by
the city clerk But the facts re-
manned that the Mayor and the presi-
dent of the Board of Aldermen were
out OF the city And everyone in the
city knew its
Therefore, had anything happened
which occasioned the attention of the
Mayor yesterday, there would have
been no Mayor nor Acting Mayor to
have transacted the business
1t Is likely that the official notice
to Mr.. Powers will be forwarded to
him today. Otherwise the city will
be without head, as 1t was yester-
day.

oug methods of drinking from bub- bliEg fountains that make the new coutriYance a greater menace to healtr than the common drinking cup. An inspector of the United States Public Health service recent Iy watched to see how people used a bubbling fountain in a railway station. Forty-seyen different per sons, cf whom eleven were men, tweuty-two were women, and four teen were children, used the foun- tain. In almost every case they placed their lips almost completely round the metal ball from which the water spwted, Of the forty seven people, three looked as if they might have tuberculosis, and three had eruptions upon their faces Every person who uses a bubbling drinking fountain should bear in mind that the object of this sani- tary instrument is to prevent un- wholesome secretions from pass Ing from mouth to mouth. When mucus or other matter becomes at tacucd tc metal, it can often be removed only by the exercise of considerable force-a force that sIow-moving current of water does not possess. In drinking from bubbliug fountain, you should "bite the bubble" Your lips should never touch any part of the foun- tain.
