HealtK Department Says it
1 is Doing its Best for
Your Benefit
CONSTRUCTIVE WORK!
Advises Persons to See a Physician \
Before They Are Really HI?Takes i
Slap at Patent Medicine.
I often wonder, after reading: one j
of our big daily newspapers or ma-1
gazines, why any people get sick, and j
why any of us remain sick if we fool- j
ishly get that way. Why be sick when j
you can get any absolutely sure cure j
for any old thing that ails you? If j
you don't believe this, just open your
daily paper and the first thin^ you
will see is a big advertisement smtinir
. that "Dr. Dupes Delerious Dope-" wall |
positively cure any disease you may
be afflicted with. And this statement I
will no doubt be backed up by a sworn t
testimonial from one Ezra J. Dsjpbcld.j
of Dubbs-Corners, Mich., to th? effect ;
that after suffering 14 years with the)
Pip, -plumbago, toothache and in grmv- j
ing toe nails, he was cured after tak- i
ing only seven bottles of that heaven j
bestowed remedy, "Dr. Dupes Helen-1
ous Dope."
Then you glance at another p:ige of i
your paper and a glaring ad te!!> you j
that suffering humanity continues to j
suffer solely on account of a lack of |
iron in the blood. It says: "What, you j
need is more iron in your blood. I ake j
just one box of our Beifusticate;! Iron.)
and you will be able to walk 2<> mile-1
a day without fatigue!" And it too j
will be backed by a sworn affidavit j
from J. Jim Jams, of Squesdunk j
Centre, Conn., statin** that?Tor 10
years I Suffered from a weak min i,
. and I was so thin I could not cast a
shadow. My blood was thin and watery
and would not run through by veins, i
unless I kept in constant motion. The j
doctors said I had no iron, tin ur ziyo. j
in my blood. 1 suffered constantly!
from mumps, falling hair and iras or. i
my.stomach and had to carry bricks in J.
my pockets on windy days. A friend i
advised me to take 'Befusticated 11 on* |
ahc] after using only four boxes, I i
gained over 200--pounds in j
and am now,so full of Iron. I don't)
dare to take a bath for fear cf get- j
ting rusty. 1 am so confounded well T:
am actually ashamed to go out on the
street."
Then in your search for news., yon
turn over another page and there in |
big black letters you see?"Take Kids j
Kidney Cure for all Kidney Ilis." And i
then you are asked these questions?
"Do you have pain in your feet, head-j
ache, colffcin the head, tired feelinjr;
do you dislike to work; do you ^et hun
gry; do you sleep; do*you net th:rst\ ,
nave you'-corns; did you ever have
mumps; are you blind; does your
heart beat; are you sick; do you fevl j
full; after eating, if you have these j
symptoms, you have kidney disease oi j
something, and . 'Kids Kidney Cure is j
all you need to put you on your feet, j
Then just to prove how good this j
great remedy really is, read the
ter from Mrs. Mary G. Squash, Si-j
wash." Wis., who says?"h or ten long j
years I suffered from many and va-j
rious diseases. I had seven or eleven
doctors, but they did me no go,>d. 1
had water on the brain and seemed to j
be filled with water. In fact I was!
wa'ter-logged. I could not walk on ac
count of getting sea-sick. 1 called in
two. or three doctors, but they said
they could do nothing for me and ad
vised me to consult a plumber. At
last a good friend told me about
"Kids Kidney Cure' and after tak
ing only 28 bottler, 1 f.r.1 now able
to eat four meals a day. and I never
get seasick any more."
"So as 1 have already observed, why
be sick when all of these simple cure
are right at your hand for only $1.00
a bottle or 50 cents a box?
However, some of us have a natu
ral dislike to doping ourselves with
sure cures, hence we call in a physi
cian when we get sick. And there
the trouble. We never go to a doc
tor until we are actually sick, then
expect him to make us over as "eo.i
as new. But it is very often too late
for him to do us any real good. He
can't put in a new heart, lungs, stom
ach, liver or kidney like you would a
new part in a machine. When you
think yourself well, you may have
some organic trouble just starting,
which if treated promptly would save
?you much - suffering as well ac ex
pense. ,
Why not so to your doctor once or
twice a year and have him give you
a careful examination? The Health
Department has an up-to-dare labora
tory with a trained expert in charge.
We are at all times ready to ?"
your doctor help you. We promptly
make examination? of the blood,
sputum, urine or other specimens sent
in by the doctor, free of charge. This
is a part of our public health work. It
makes your doctor that much more ef
ficient bv removing the element of
uncertainty. For instance, suppose he
has a case of suspected diphtheiia. No
expert in the world can say it is oi
l's not by simply looking at the throat.
Your doctor takes a little cotton swab
on the end of a probe and wipes it j
over the inflamed part of the throat j
and then sends it to our laboratoi\. j
We take blood serum and make a cul- j
ture from the swab. This is incubat-,
cd for a few hours and the germs grow j
ing on it. 3re placed on a glass slide,,
stained to make them visible and then:
put under the high power, compound j
microscope. If they are diphthei.a
jrerms we inform the doctor at or.ce
over the telephone, and he then has
the exact knowledge that will enable
him to use his medical skill and give
such treatment as may be indicated.
Much of the work of a modern
health department is unseen and un
known except to the few who come in
to contact with it. hence it gets little
or no credit for its many daily activi
ties which are of the utmost value to
the community.
While there is much work to be
done, yet our official reports?pub
lished monthly in this paper sir.ee our
organization on July 1st last will
show that we have accomplished
many things that mark a disiinrt si.'p
forward in the general fight against
disease and unsanitary conditions. Not
a single case of smallpox ha** beei. i
reported in thi s city during the past)
four months. The typhoid fever rate
has been reduced over 75 per cent
over last year and only seven very
mrld cases of influenza have turned
up during the two months jus* past.
Taken in all. there is very little sick
ness in our city at the present time.
By the construction of new sewers
we will soon be able to eliminate
many unsanitary conditions. Our sur
vey has brought to light many housi-s
that are not yet connected with <e--vers
in front of such properties for many
y?ars past.* Notices are now being
served upon .the owners, giving them
a certain number of days to start
work, otherwise prompt action will be
taken. ;
Your department of health is doing
constructive work for the public good
and* we ask the .full co-operation of all
good citizens to that end.
If you have any suggestions or com
plaints to make call and lay them be
fore us, but don't stand off and throw
stones, for we arc only human and are
trying to do our best for your benefit.

FI N A L SETTLEMENT
l.'Deht Con mission Members Seek to
| Have Master Commissioner Prepare
j Accounts for Proper Distribution.
Request by the Virginia Debt Com
mission, of which Judge William F.
Rhea is chapman, for a decree of ref
erence lo a master commissioner to
take and state necessary accounts for
the distribution of more than $14,000,
000 in cash and securities will be- made
today in ihe Circuit Court of the city
of Richmond, when the case institut
ed by the commission through Attor-,
ney-General John R. Saunders comes!
up before Judge K. Car-lev Scott for aj
hearing.
This amount represent? the princi
pal and interest of the debt which
West Virginia ? owed Virginia, final
settlement of which was made yester
day. The commission now has in hand
in the vaults of the First National
Bank of Richmond $1,000,000 in cash
and the remainder in West Virginia
bonds. *5
This means that after move* than
half a century of controversy. West I
Virginia has finally paid in T.: 11 her
share of the debt incurred by Virginia
in the period between 1821 and 1801,
when West Virginia was still i part
if Virginia.
Thv debt was originally for rail
roads. canals and turnpikes an ! other
internal improvements by which that
part of Virginia which afterward i.e
?ame a separate State benefited as
much sis Virginia proper.
The amount of the debt at tint time
was about MO,000,000. Wvst, VrgHi.i-1
was admitted to the Union in on j
rendition that she assume a j;:?t and j
equitable portion of this debt. Vir-j
(jrjnja assumed two-thirds of ih.> debt j
in 1871.
Unable to bring about a settle- i
menr. with West Virginia, suit was j
brought by the commission in the Su- j
prim." Court in 1000. <n the nrrne ofi
Virginia, and judgment obtained i
ag::iri-t West Virginia.

j Doubt Expressed That Such
Organizations Are
Exempt
STRIKES ARE ILLEGAL
Criminal Offense, it is Alleged, for
Laboring .Men (o Engage in Walkout
?Issue Must he Decided.
Officials and members ef Congress
did not agree with the statement of
the Federation's executive commit
tee that it was the intention of Con
gress in enacting thfood control law
io exempt labor unions from its pro
visions. At the Department of Jus
tice it was pointed out that an amend
ment to the act under which unions
would have been exempted specifically
was rejected.
It. was pointed out that House pro
visions of the bill were amended in
the Senate on motion of former Sen
ator Mollis. Democrat, New Hamp
shire, 'but that when the measure
went to conference the House mun
agers held out for the original House
provisions and the Senate conferees
finally receded.
When the conference report readied
the Senate, Senator Ho'llis said his
amendments had been deliberately
stricken from the bill in order to
make strikes illegal.
''The bill we are passim; today," he
said, "is a bill that makes it a crim
inal offense for laboring men to en
gag;1 in the usual peaceful method of
a strike."
"Is it the opinion of the Senator,"
asked Senator Shepnard. Democrat.
Texas, "that the conferees thought
the language to which he is directing
his remarks had that eft^i?"
"Yes." Senator Hollis "The
reason given me was that th:? c-n
ferecs Ik lieve that peaceful strikes
should be prohibited during the w-ir.
That is ail the satisfaction f g)t"
Senator Chamberlain. Democrat.
Oregon, and later former Senator
Lewis, Democrat. Illinois, expressed
considerable doubt as to the correct
ness of Senator Hollis* conclusion, but'
when the Senate voted finally ?.n
Au?ust X, I PIT. Stnuator Hollis,
?ti!l heldinir to :>is expressed vkw
th:? t strikes ?hould not be put unr! >r
legislative iian, voted aauinst the
entire act.
Senator .Myers, Democrat, Moniam,
declared the government should not
compromise with the strike leaders.
"Nothing in Mr. Gompers' state
ment,'" said Senator Myers, '?justi
fies any class of citizens in violat
ing the law. I think the time h- s
come when we must decide whether
the government is sup.'eme or a cer
tain class of citizens. I am in favor
of having thai issue decided now.
without anv recession or compro
mise. I am in hearty accord with
the action of the government i:i
handling the coal strike. I'd rath
er freeze to death than see the gov
ernment recede." ^

Indianapolis, Nov .11.?Officials
of the United Mine Workers of
America, in conference here, de
cided early today to accede to .tin
Go Vermont's mandate for withdraw
al of the strike order.
"Wo will comply with the man
date of the court.-" We dq this un
der protest. We arjj Americans.
We cannot fight our Government."
This was the statement issued by
Acting President John I;. Lewis at!
1:15 a. m. today, following an IS
hour confercnce with other union
leaders at the Lincoln Hotel here.
The order withdrawing the strike
call will be presented to Judge A.
F. Anderson, in Federal Court, be
tVre n^on today.
In a voice shaken with emotion,
Lewis pronounced the words that
officially will end th:- strike of 400,
000 coal miners, started on Novem
ber 1.
Lewis plainly showed the strain
under which he has been laboring
for the past ten days. His face was
lined an dtircd. hi;: voice husky, and !
his hair disheveled.
Vv'hes the members of the execu- i
live ecuncii. the scale committee.'
and the distrct prrsirlents of the
United Mine w rkers of America
emerged from the meeting room
they showd the effects of a hard
fight.
They were sullen and tired. They
went to their rooms immediately,
and all refused to add to Lewis'
statement.
The utmost secrecy was main
tained by the conferees during the ?
day and night. The doors' leading
to the conference room were care
fully guarded. Th,i decision to rail
off the strike was not reached 'in
lil after strenuous opposition had
been made by a group of miner?
vho w:s!?"d to defy the court order.
Through thi' closed doors of the
'meeting hall c^uld be ho'ird the
sound of ??ented debate. At times
?the voiccs were loud and angry.
However, the sentiment of Ameri
canism prevailed.
Attorneys for the union were cal
i< d into the conference room seve
ral times during the 18-hour de
bate. They advised compliance with
the judge's ruling, it is known, and
this advice had a strong influence
on the final decision.
Soft coal miners to date have lost
$20,000,000 in wages and fines due
to the strike which began Novem
ber 1.

structed by the judges appointing1
them to make their assessments at j
fair market value, instead o: on a !
minimum appraisement, :f the vr-j
ijuesst made by the Virginia State ! ixi
Board is carried out. In a letter
siged by Gov. Davis, Chairman of
the Board, and addressed to each of
the judges of the State who have
authority of appointing land assssssrs
the State Tax Board points oat that
Ae Commonwealth's shortage !
revenue, which has required special!
taxation to provide for road b-jil;!::igj
and other purposes, is attributed to
under valuation of real estate by ::~
sessors.
Experts who have been studying the
assessment question are of the opinion |
that assessment of land at a fair mar-j
kit value throughout ;he State nf Vir-j
ji'inia will add hundreds of thousand? J
of dollars to the Commonwealth's an-1
nun! revenue and do much to prohi >:t,
special taxation and other method j
which have been resorted to ;;i orcer j
to carry out 'cecesjvmy development i
programs.
The letter sent to the judges of t hi i
Stat - by the Tax Board is as f j
The General Assembly of Vinrim
wis forced at the regular session c' j

the public school system. 1 lit e
mauds are increasing so rapidly 1 h1'
it new appears inevitable that th I
-occirl levies will have to be sunn'--!
mer.tel at the regular session in 10'?
The discussions and proceed-"/- ? ??' j
the Genera! Assembly during *h? j
cent extra session bore stron : e"i
denc-' cf a growing sentiment, tl* it
these special taxes were neceysiti-.td
to som,. extent because of the und.*r
valuation of real estate adopted t
making assessments throughout the j
State, and that in view of this under j
valuation real estate is not bvar.ngj
its proportionate share of the burden j
of taxation is compared with other,
property and that uniformity and j
equality in taxation is beinsr tV Tci v i
destroyed. This sentiment is founded j
on what appears to be a generally re-J
coittt!zed fact that the consti^utiO'.i
provision requiring that all assess
ment!" of real estate shall !>e at th-- r J
fair market value is nor enforcvd :r.
any part of the State.
In view of the fact that the time j
is almost at hand for thejippoininuni j
