Good Evening
By ROY x. Moulton

From Philadelphia comes the report
Of several cases Of sleeping sickness,
but in Philadelphia, is it an epidemic
or a habit?
Out in our neighborhood the other
evening the tenants had a meeting.
Notices were sent out to all and sun
dry to be on hand because important
matters were to be discussed, and
there was a considerable amount Of
excitement in the neighborhood. Peo-
pie looked forward to the meeting with
interest and the tenants of three or
four houses planned to attend, which
they did. The meeting, which was
called to protest against the recent
raises in rents and other difficulties
of present cliff-dwelling, was held in
a restaurant in the neighborhood, and
very good restaurant, too. There
were so many people on hand that the
restaurant couldn't care for all, and

Today S Talk
MANY LIVES
BY George Matthew Adams

WAN GlVGS
So few of US are able to live even
one life. While there are those who
live a dozen lives all in one!
Each day adds to the greatness of
such lives as that lived by Roosevelt,
Wendell Phillips, Gladstone, Beecher,
Cecil Rhodes and Frances Willard.
To have done with but one life
would have been to kill off such heroic
figures before youth itself had fairly
begun.
Take the single example Of Roose-
velt-writer, naturalist, discoverer,
statesman, reformer, scholar, editor
he was ten men all in one, living a
score OF lives over the course Of one!
And all the time human and gentle.
with all the elements SO mixed that
the whole world might stand up as
one witness to say that he truly was
a man.
1t is unfortunate that we have but
one life-in space-to live. But in
this space we may crowd the activity
OF many lives-and splendidly acquit
ourselves in long and happy service.
Each of us may live many lives!
And there may be no limit to the
number. But it is highly important
that each life we live have back of it
at least one big purpose.
Let us not be petty at all. Let us
carry around with us a goodly supply
of the faith that conquers-and the
love that knows no extinction of time
or space.
Let US, however. resolve to live but
one life at time.

Irish Tourist Business
Affected by Revolutions

DUBLIN, Nov. 1.-THE tourist bust.
ness in Ireland has been injuriously
affected by the revolutionary disor-
ders. Tourist agents and hotel keep
ers are in despair. North Wales and
the Isle Of Man have captured the
visitors who used to come to Killarney
and Glengariff. There has been a
notable absence Of the usual influx of
Americans.
Dublin has suffered less proportion
ately than other places, but Dublin's
visitors did not take the risk of leav-
ing it for the provinces. There was no
danger to life or limb, but the disloca-
ton of the railway service caused by
the refusal of the railway men to car
ry soldiers, police or munitions made
the train service so uncertain that no.
body could count safely on reaching
or returning from any given destina.
ton within the limits Of a holiday.

some had to wait The poor tenants,
most of them who had not doHar in
the world sat down at the tables and
ordered what they could afford. The
restaurant proprietor put on lot of
extra walters and an extra chef and
the orders for lobster and chicken and
prime roast ribs and filet mignon
swamped them. When the grand feed
was about half over, an orchestra,
concealed behind bank of palms, be-
gan the seductive strains of a popular
fox trot. The poor tenants began dane
ing and they danced and ate and ate
and danced until 2 o'clock in the
morning. The chairman who was to
preside at the meeting, forgot all about
it, and no one reminded him, and at
2 o'clock, of course, it was too late
The limousines of the tenants began
arriving at 2 o'clock and they all went
home, pronouncing it the most sue
cessful tenants meeting they had ever
attended. The rents remain the same

course, but it doesn't cost a cent to

This Actually Removes
Superfluous Hair Roots
ENTIRELY New and Quick Method)

By the introduction in this country
of what is known as the "phelactine
process, any woman can now rid her
self completely of annoying super
fluous hair or fuzz. The process is
entirely new, different from all others,
and far better-because it actually re-
moves the roots, as we'll as the sur
face hair! 1t Is almost instantaneous,
perfectly harmless, odorless and non
irritating.
Just get a stick Of phelactine from
your druggist, follow the simple direc-
tions-and see the hair roots come
out, with your own eyes! No depila-
tory or electrical treatment can pro-
duce this result. The skin is left
soft, smooth and hairless as child's
Phelactine can be used with absolute
safety-one could even eat it with
impunity .-Advertisement.

Dinner Stories

At school examination the exam
liner asked one child:
What are the products of the India
empire?"
The unhappy infant began nervously
OF reel off the list she had got by
heart:
please sir, India produces curries
and pepper and rice and citron and
chills and chutney and, and-and-
and
Yes, yes" said the examiner, i'm
patiently. What comes after all
that"
Another infants hand was raised
"Well, you tell her what comes after
that?"
please, sir, India-gestation."
The ardent enthusiast had inveigled
his Philistine friend to the recital by
an eminent pianist.
The program was severely classical
and of lavish length. During >-pause

Rippling Rhymes
BY WALT MASON
THE DRIVE IDEA.

All our lives will be more sunny,
and We'll chirp a gladder song, when
they quit the drives" for money,
which have bothered us too long. All
such schemes were gladly pardoned
when the kaiser danced his jig. and
the heart was cold and hardened that
neglected to up-dig. l am always
prompt and willing to help out a
worthy cause, but l will not place a
shilling in the drivesmith's eager paws.
For I'm sick of people telling what I
ought to give and where, tired of al
ways digging. Smelling, for some
scheme that makes me swear. I will
give to help the living and I'll give to
plant the dead, but I won't be bossed
in giving, and l won't be chased or
led. In the war time drives were
splendid. and they helped to can our
foes, but he war is done and ended, and
the people need repose. Do not bother
friends or neighbors with requests for
honest dimes; leave them to their
quiet labors. as we did in olden times
Do not think up worthy causes that
require financial aid. for we've all
been Santa Clauses till our nerves are
tired and frayed.

Boosting Armistice Day

The tour of Wayne county by the Young
Mems Business club on Nov. 9, only two days be-
fore the Armistice day celebration affords a
splendid opportunity for an effective boosting of
the day.
Virtually the greater part of the county will
be covered by the club members. Banners an
nouncing the Armistice day celebration and other
forms of publicity could be used with telling eff
feet The committee on arrangements for the
tour, cooperating with the Armistice day COM
nlttee should be able to devise method where
by the trip would advertise Armistice day.
The whole county is taking interest in the
celebration, which unquestonably will be one of
the most pretentious witnessed here in many
years. Decision of persons residing outside of
Richmond to see the parade may be clinched by
little missionary work done by the Young
Mems Business club

sumption after 4 p. m and domestic users are
urged to conserve lights.
Continuous power and light depends upon the
other units, which will be worked to capacity,
until the repairs are made. Should they fail, in
dustries will be closed and the city will be with
out lights.
Not only this menace must be considered
now While the large unit is idle, and power and
domestic consumers are curtailing their use, the
revenue which the plant derives from normal
consumption is cut down. which will be reflected
in the net earnings Of the plant. In this instance
the loss in revenue may not be large; but if the
plant is closed for week or longer, the idleness
ty of the utility.
If there are any doubling Thomases in Rich
mond today, they ought to be convinced now that
additional equipment speedily installed, IS OF
paramount Importance to the welfar OF all OF us.
A wornout pump caused serious inconvenience
few days ago. The largest unit of the plant is
idle now What next? How many pieces OF
equipment in the 100000 utility, owned by the
taxpayers of the city, may not be on the verge of
going to pieces?
The municipal light plant is a valuable invest
l,1ent belonging to the city of Richmond. City
officials who have been guilty of dilatory tactics
to prevent the purchase of new equipment, In
tended primarily to prevent interruption OF serv-
ice, ought to see the full measure of their folly
by this time.
The citizens see it. They have warned
against the danger for months. Not only are
thew cognizant of the danger, but also weary OF
the schoolboy antics of those who are permitting
the plant to go to pieces.
