Owing to an order from the War Dc,

clear, it was first thought that men

had been published. could not yolun-
teer in any but n company In Federal

the belief on the part of military men
that they can still choose the branch
of service appealing to them.
Richmond has been called upon to
furnish n company OF volunteer coast
artillery. 1t is believed that young
men included in the draft-can still
volunteer in this attractive arm of tho
service. The lists are also open to men
of military age not In the draft.

NEW SYSTEM OF CHECKS

ACcOuntHs
Ono of the latest new things ia an
advance in the form Of bank checks,
and there has been little Improvement
in them since they were first intro
duced in the year 1881. The business
man OF to-day enjoys the distinction
of using the same form Of check that
was used by the Father OF his
Country"
The new form Is called the budget
cheque. with the spelling which as
sociates 1t at once with bank. The
budget cheque is described rs u great
convenience and an economy to tho
householder and to the business firm.
1t does away with the routine of draw
ing large number of checks and Of
signing ones name over and over.
With one budget cheQue one may pay
all of the monthly bills through the
bank and the returned chcquc is a
collective receipt. One chcque, one
stub. one balance to carry forward
one signature. pays all the bills and
gives Il condensed record of expendit-
ures. Twelve returned budget cheques
contain tho record of Il years dis
burscments. In fact. one simply bud
gets his bills and signs what Is in
reality an order on the bank to pay
them. The bank acts as financial Sec
rotary.
The merchant. instead of receiving
n miscellaneous collection of checks
throughout the month. receives
draft from the bank at regular pc-
RODS, with list of patrons and the
amount paid by each. He has no re-
ceipts to stamp, sign and mail. When
the budget cheQue system is once es-
tablished. it will be an advantage to

ten or thirty checks to handle for

With the outbreak OF twelve cases
OF infantle paralysis III the country
districts OF East Rockingham, State
health officers laid hurried plans yes
terday for an Immediate investigation
and for such action as Will prevent
spread OF the dread disease. While
six deaths have occurred in the county.
prompt action by local health authori-
ties has prevented further spread
and the situation, according 10 reports
reaching Richmond last night, is APP
parently well in hand.

Board of Health. VIII leave that city
this morning for Elkton 10 direct the
campaign against the disease. He will
be met in Elkton by n representative
of the United states Public Health
Service. who will assist Dr.. Brumfield
in taking the necessary preventive
measures. 1t WAS generally believed
last night that the health, authorities
had control of the situation. and that
there would be no further cases. since
none had been reported for several
days.
GENERAL WARNING IS
SOUNDED by HEALTH OFFICERS
With the discovery of the first sew
eral cases. and as soon AS the disease
was diagnosed, immediate action was
taken by health authorities. They
sounded general warning. and
throughout the infected area the
churches, sunday schools, moving pic
ture theaters and public gatherings in
the county and in Harrisonburg were
Temporarily closed. This action, to-
gether' with a close guard that was
thrown around the homcs-in which the
disease was prevalent, IS believed TO
have prevented any greater spread OF
the paralysis.
The guard Is being kept on the In
fected homes throughout. the country,
ae well as upon those in which there
are several cases Of sickness, but
which physicians have been unable
positively to identify as infantilc pa
Talysis. No child under sixteen years
OF age is allowed to appear on the
streets. or to leave home. y number
of Valley towns are enforcing partial
quarantine, and every possible effort is
being made to cope with the situation.
One suspected case. which is said
to be OF mild nature is being close
ly guarded in Harrisonburg. From
what could be learned last night all
cases in Rockingham are OF the epi-
demic type, while two sporadic cases
have developed near Luray No other
reports had been received by the State
authorities. DIR. Ennion c. Williams.

publicity is turned upon all
eating places which do not OBJ
serve the Hoover rules on meat
less Tuesdays and wheatless
Wednesdays.
There is no longer any eX-
cuse for not observing the
simple requirement of the Uni
ted States Food Administr-
tion," said Mr.. Newell. "The
public is now familiar with the
Hoover rules and its purpose,
and is giving its hearty support
to the eating places observing
the wheatless and meatless
days. It.is even becoming cri-
teal and resentful of places
which do not do so. We have
received numerous complaints
from different parts of the state
in regard to restaurants and
hotels not making any attempt
to observe the wheatless and
meatless days. We are now
making a list of these unpatri-
otic places, with a view to pub
fishing their names in their own
communities. The patriotic
spirit of the public can be de-
pended upon to do the rest. b"
Mr.. Newell suggests that in
those localities which are dist
ant from the fish market, pOul-
try and cheese dishes be used
as a substitute for meat on
meatless days. Vegetable
luncheons, for which several
kinds of vegetables attractive
ly arranged, are served on one
plate, and which are now be-
coming so popular in the first
class hotels and clubs of Port
land, are also satisfactory
meat substitutes.
