WORDS, MASTERS
OF OUR ACTIONS
Importance Of Speech Declared to be as
Great as That Of Ideas

Words are women, deeds are men,
wrote George Herbert in the early six
teen hundreds. ACTIONS speak louder
than words runs an old proyerb. De-
mocritus said, "worus are but the shad-
ows of actions" These are only half
truths, however They might just as
well be reversed. There can be no ac-
ton without a thought behind it. But
you can't voice a thought without
words. Words are the tools Of thought,
the weapons Of the intellect Word
wisdom is thoughtwisdom- Deep
thoughts require deep words. This
proves that words are the masters OF
all action-of all conduct.
The thought, through the word pre-
oedes the deed. guides it, controls It
Words are just as important as idef1s
Thought without adequate expression
is void and empty. How beautifully
the scriptures express this in Genesis:

Says Careless
Doctor Caused
Death Of Dog

Death of dog, alleged to have been
caused by carelessness in medical
treatment. is the unique ground of a
law suit filed in circuit court today by
Elmer Brumfeld against Mark A.
Stewart, veterinary of Richmond,
for $100 damages.
Rrumfield alleges that on or about
Nov. IL, 1916, he employed Stewart to
treat and cure a certain dog and that
he paid $3.50 for services.
1t is alleged that the doctor did not
use ordinary care and skill in treat
ing the dog and that in attempting
to inject to fluid into the dogs neck,
by means of hypodermic needle,
dropped the needle on the floor of
the stable wherein he was treating
the animal and picked up and used
such needle by injecting 1t into the
dogs neck without first cleansing it.
The plaintiff AYERS that by such care
lessness and unskillful treatment,
blood-poisoning was caused in the dog
from which it soon died.

One of Richmond's oldest land
marks was raZed this week.
1t was the Roberts homestead at
Thirteenth and South A streets and it
was torn down by the owner, Joseph
Seaney, to make room for new home
to be built on the corner by Jesse
Druley.
According to the best recollection of
Henry S. Roberts, son of Jonathan
Roberts, the old structure was erected
about so years ago. Then it was a
farm house.
Soon after the Civil war the Rob-
erts farm, consisting of so acres. was
sold by Jonathan Roberts for $4,000.
City homes then were built around the
homestead.
