THE RICHMOND PLANET CROWDS ATTEND NOTED PREACHER'S FUNERAL. REV. DR. Z. D. LEWIS LAID TO REST ABLE BAPTIST MINISTERS REACH THE CITY. The Rev. Dr. Johnson's Able Discourse--The End of a Remarkable Career--Buried in Evergreen Cemetery VOLUME XLIII, NO. 20 CROW REV. D ABLE BA The Rev. I Remarka The funeral of Rev. Z. D. Lewis, D. D. pastor for 37 years of the Second Baptist Church, took place from that edifice. Friday, March 19, 1926 at 1 o'clock. Funeral Director Frank Hayes transferred the remains from the residence, 202 East Leigh Street, shortly before 9 o'clock that morning, to the church, where the body was to lie in state until the time of the funeral. The space surrounding the casket was an arbor of flowers. The pulpit and chor gallery were heavily draped in black. FINE DRAPERY The casket was draped with a fern blanke, decorated with white robes and cinnations. In the centre of this magnificent display of the florals are a cross of violets. It was the gift from the auxiliaries of the church. The Deacon Board contiibuted a design of a harp, some four feet, six inches in height, while the church sent a white wreath, mounted on a pedestal of about the same height. A STEADY STREAM A steady stream of people passed quietly into the church through one door and wen, out at another. Capital City Lodge, No. 107, A. F, and A. M, furnished the guard of honor consisting of Rev. M. C, Ruffin and Rev. W. H, Spurlock. Mr. William Gregory was the usher in charge while Sexon Joseph Brown, wearing a Masonic apron was there to render service. Mr. Lewis R Booker, chairman of the usher board was also on duty. The crowd on the outside was steadily augmented. THE CHURCH OPENED. Then it became apparent that the people there had made up their minds to remain until the church opened for the funeral, in order to secure seals. The arrangement of the display by the funeral director, Frank Hayes was practically faultless, Mr. Z D. Lewis, Jr. visiting there himself to superintend this part of the arrangement. A pass master's arron rested on the case ket. The deceased was a charter member of the Masonic Lodge Clifton Alexander is Worshipful Master and George T. Washington, Secretary. MANY AUTOMOBILES Viewing the church prior to the arrival of the funeral party would have led one to think that they had already arrived and had passed into the church, for automobiles lined both sides of the streets in that vicinity while a monster crowd was on the outside. This was the passing of a noted figure in Baptist circles, the goodbye of the "sorry-person" in the religious circles in this vicinity. His army of friends came out to witness the farewell to one whom they had learned to love and respect. A STRIKING FIGURE Mrs. Gertrude Barrett Taylor was an interested observer. Miss Brown of the Sarah G. Jones Memorial Hospital with her, had the task of nursing the stricken d vine. Finally the funeral cortege came and Funeral Director Frank Hayes, with his silk hat and Prince Albert coat, made a striking figure and despite the untoward surroundings the af- fair passed off in a clock-work manner. Then came the entrance into the church. A veritable mass of ministers from all parts of the State and country marched in a body and were assigned to seated. It was impossible to list them all. There was the able Rev. C. S. Brown, President of the Lost Carey Foreign Mission Convention, the radiobtable Rev. Dr. A. A. Graham of Phoenbus, the powerful Rev. Dr W. F. Graham from Philadelphia, that, king of pupit orators, Rev Dr. Walter H. Brooks, that silver-covered preacher in Israel, Rev Dr. Charles S. Morris and his Madame from Lynchburg and President B C. Woods, of the Virginia Theological Seminary and College. THE MISSING DIVINE Rev. F. B. Mitchell was there from Philadelphia. But in all of his gering there was one missing figure and that was Rev. Dr. Evans Payne, the giant oak of the Bapist pastor of the Fourth Baptist Church, who was detained at home by illness. It would have under normal conditions fallen to his lot to deliver the funeral oration over his friend. Upon Rev W. H. Stokes, Ph. D., pastor of the Ehebezer Bapist Church tell the duty of presiding as Master of Ceremonies upon this occasion and right well did he perform the service. PRECEDED THE MOURNERS The various fraternal and secret organizations preceded the entrance of the mourners, including the family and close personal friends. Rev. Dr. W. T. Johnson and Rev. William H. Stokes, Ph. D. preceded the honorary pall-bearers, who were Rev. L. H. Dickerson, Rev. M. H. Payne, D. D. Rev. W. H. Stephen, Rev. S. E. Funn, Rev. J. W. Dudley, Rev. S. P. Robinson, B. Th. Rev. J. J. Nickens, Rev. J. B.ass. Then came the pall-bearers from Capital City Lodge, No. 107, Rev. M C. Ruffin, Messrs. W. R. Randoph, Samuel Wise, Charles Clark, T. F. Archer and Joseph Hawkins A HUSHED SILENCE They bore that heavy metallic silver bronze casket with heavy extension bands after it left the rollers. As for Funeral Director Frank H. Hayes, he was in his proper place as a bushed silence pervaded in that mass of humanity. A delay of a few minutes brought certain prominent divines, who had become "lost in the crowd" of preachers to the rostrum and then the services proceeded. Rev. Stokes said: "We have gathered here today to pay our respects to Rev Dr. Z, D. Lewis, a man who was known "throughout the country". He then paid a beautiful tribute to his announcement finally that only resolutions from the Baptist Ministers' Conference, the Second Baptist's Church and its auxiliaries would be read. THE NAMES OF OTHERS The names of the others would be announced and also those, who had sent telegrams and letters of concoctions. Rev. Joseph Arrington announced the hymn "Nearer My God to Thee." The scriptures were read by Rev. H. R. Williams, Rev. A. W. Brown, pastor of the Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church offered a fervent prayer. Rev. A. D. Daly. (Contributed on page 14.)

His work here has been very successful and he has succeeded by his systematic endeavors in raising more money than any other pastor, who has preceded him. He has also added materially to the membership of the church. Just what steps will be taken to hold him here has not been developed. Richmond's loss will be Pittsburgh's gain.

M., to attend a meeting at Johnson Hall, leaving her husband, James Gibbs, at her home, about 10 miles from the city. When she arrived home at about 11 P. M., she found the house was in flames. Later his charred remains were found in the kitchen. The house was completely destroyed. The blaze had attained such headway and there being no water obtainable, the complete destruction of the residence followed. The heat was so intense that you could not get near to the house. He leaves four children and four brothers. Mystery surrounds the burning since there was no fire in the kitchen. The matter is being investigated. THIRD ST. A. M. E. CHURCH. After an interesting Sunday School last Sunday the subject of the "Sacrificial Complement" was powerfully treated by our pastor. We had as our honored guests at this service, Rev. D. S. Burrell, Secretary of the Y. M. C. A.; Rev. Mullins, of Chicago, and three white ministers—one being a converted Catholic and another, Mr. Ellyson, clerk of Henrico Co. Court.

EASTER MONDAY BASEBALL GAME SOCIAL-BASEBALL CLASSIC All indications point to one of the greatest holiday sporting and social events ever held in Richmond, when the famous Hampton baseball team crosses bats with the local Va. Union diamond aggregation on Hovey Field Easter Monday. When these two age-old rivals line up to compete for the cherished honors in this great annual game, an assembly of baseball stars seldom seen will be on hand. All preparations are being made so that the event will be a feature one and that the interest will be of the highest caliber for the reports coming from the teams in training indicate that they are apparently very evenly matched. Just the words Hampton and Union always indicate a close, interesting contest and the coming Easter Monday event is no exception. For the convenience of the fans, bleachers have been erected, the field has been put in ship-shape condition and the stage is all set for charming ladies and the captivating "debs and co-eds" to doll their most colorful "plumage" for the annual "Bunny" day show-off. Reports coming from outlying sections indicate that the number of visitors will be large and elaborate social affairs are being planned in connection with the game. $75,000 NEGRO COLLEGE FIRE (By Associated Press, Greensboro, N. C., March 23—Fire THE LATE REV. DR. Z. D.

H., Oakland, Calif; Eugene, Chicago; Harry and Frank, Charlesm W. Va. PRICE. FIVE CENTS DR. Z. D. LEWIS, POLLIE FRANCES DIES IN ELECTRIC CHAIR Pollie Frances, a well-known character in the underworld, was electrocuted at the Virginia Penitentiary, Friday, March 9th, 1926, for the killing of Detective Sergeant Louis Bertucci, August 9, 1925. He had previously wounded a colored woman, named Ruth Glenn, at 1006 Bacon street and a hurry call had sent to the Second Police Station. Detective Louis Bertucci was one of the officers who responded. Frances is alleged to have approached the officer as he sat in his car and asked him if he wanted him. Two Shots Followed Then two shots followed almost instantly. The ball entered the officer's head causing instant death, while the officer's bullet penetrated Frances' body, passing through the liver. For weeks it was 'thought that Frances would die, but he finally recovered and was sentenced to death. His attorneys were unable to secure for him a writ of error. Joseph Fountain, colored, was the principal witness against him. He expressed the opinion that Frances fired first, but this was practically impossible for the reason that the officer's wound was instantly fatal and he did not permit his antagonist to get the drop on him. After Discovered Evidence It was stated that another witness was ready to testify that Frances did not fire the shot that killed Bertuciel. Frances died protesting his innocence. The body was turned over to Funeral Director Frank Hayes Friday morning and carried to his undertaking rooms, where, after it had been prepared for burial, it was inspected by the public until the time of the funeral at 2 o'clock, Sunday, March 21st. It took place at the Mt. Hermann Baptist Church, corner of Catherine and Gilmer streets. --- Mrs. Pattie Kenney, of Washington, D.

WON'T TOM BE SURPRISED WHEN HE SEES THE BULL PUP UNCLE JERRY GAVE ME! --- The PURDYS by Paul Robinson PUBLISHERS AUTOCASTER SERVICE REG. U.S. P.M.L. OFFICE THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND' VIRGINIA WOULD you be happy if you had half a million dollars? Think what such a fortune would mean. Travel, books, automobiles, servants, hunting and fishing, golf, radios, several homes, aacht or two—almost anything and everything you needed to make life comfortable. But would you be happy? Carl Larsen has a half million dollars—and he isn't happy! He feels that his life is pointless. The many things he thought he would do when he got his fortune, he doesn't want to do now. Started on $10 The alarm clock, which he thought he would throw out of the window, still jars him out of bed at five o'clock in the morning. Carl Larsen landed in New York in the winter of 1869. He had $10 in his pocket—and that went to pay tailroad fare for his first job—building some stairs up state. He went west. He worked several years as a carpenter. When they reduced his pay from $4 to $3 a day he quit and opened a restaurant in San Francisco, Café, with $500 he had saved. He worked six hours eightteen hours a day, had trouble with his aunt, and close up with her. He started again, with borrowed money. He built his own chairs and tables and counters. PEN POINTERS Once it was clothes that made the man, now it's the car. "Dead men tell no tales," so widows marry again. Don't jump at conclusions you're liable to land in trouble. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience. Some men love work—others do, too, when those who love it are doing it. He made big money. His restaurant became famous. Because he couldn't get fresh eggs, he bought a ranch and raised chickens. He bought real estate. He became wealthy Carl Larsen was 35 years old when he opened his restaurant. Today Larsen, now 82 years old, stands behind the same counter "I'm losing money every day," he says. "This street, once so busy, is --- RUN TOM! RUN! HELP-CALL I'M OFF-OUCH! --- --- A.

And then, somewhat bitterly: "Anyway, why should I quit? What difference does it make if I die with $500,000 or with $50,000?

SATURDAY.....MARCH 27, 1926 Read the Planet and pay for it and be happy. You cannot do right and wrong at one and the same time. It must be the one or the other. You may not believe it, but God rules in the affairs of men and wrong-doing and crime brings its own punishment with an unerring certainty. Dodging responsibilities and shirking duties is a bad handicap in this life and will ultimately trip you. Most people are "crazy" to get married and then they are "wild" to get a divorce after they are married. It is a case of "marry in haste and repent at leisure." Be satisfied with your condition or appear to be satisfied with it and you will note an improvement in that same condition. The talk about going to Africa is subsiding. The reason is that most of the people over there, who are civilized seem desirous of coming over here. The failure to admit Germany into the League of Nations, sometimes called the "League of Damnations," will have a most damaging effect in this country and is proving to be one of the embarrassing situations to those staunch advocates of the international organization. The Shenandoah Park proposition merits the support of every citizen of Virginia and the colored people should interest themselves in aiding in the promotion of it. You cannot bring prosperity to this section without benefiting all classes, both white and colored. The Fundamentalists do not seem to be losing any ground in the contest with the Modernists. As for the evolutionists, they are closely related to the atheists. There should be no surprise as the Holy Bible tells of these things. The bill segregating the races at Hampton Institute became a law without the signature of Governor Harry Flood Byrd. There was never any valid excuse for this measure and and was a plain case of spite-work on the part of a fe wwhite people at Newport News, Va. Just why these same white people should want to force themselves in a Negro school and then dictate to the officials in charge of the same is as bad a case of boorishness and ill manners as has ever been witnessed in this Commonwealth. It can do no good and it may do much harm. The only proper way to meet the situation is to do as some of these white folks are doing and that is to deny white folks admission to their auditoriums. Then there can be no danger of being hauled into court for violating the law or of being charged with making an effort to nullify it. Colored folks do not attend the meetings held in the auditorium of the University of Virginia or meetings held in any other institution. Let us have peace. DO YOU KNOW HIM? Major R. B. Jordan, Chief of Police, has received an enquiry concerning an unidentified colored man murdered in Newark, N. J., March 14, 1926. He has been identified as "Jimmie" alias "Richmond." He had previously been arrasted there upon two occasions in 1924, at which time he stated his age as 52 years and that he was married. He was originally from this city. Prior to his death, he was in the company of G. W. Brown, colored, who worked with him at the Armour Fertilizing Company at Carteret, N. J. Brown is described as being 40 years of age, five feet, nine inches tall and weighing 180 pounds, dark skin, slightly bow-legged, very large teeth, two of which are missing in the lower jaw in the front and who is known as "Top" and "Glim". It is probable that Brown also hailed from Richmond. Any information concerning this party should be communicated to Chies of Police R. B. Jordan, Richmond, Va. or to Chief of Police W. T. Long, Newark, N. J. CROWDS ATTEND THE (pastor of the Fifth Baptist Church announced hymn. 630, "Then We'll Gather Home.") To the hired attorney, James T. Carter fell the task of reading the titles of the resolutions. He had arranged the large number of communications in a way to hasten the reading. He stated that Church Clerk W. S. Banks would read the resolutions from the Church, the Deacon Board and the Auxiliaries of the Second Baptist Church. It soon developed that Brother Banks had the greater task for the steady stream of resolutions from the large number of auxiliaries of the Church consumed so much time that Clerk Banks sensed the situation and informed the Master of Ceremonies that as the people were getting tired he would read only the titles. THE DEACON BOARD This met with ready approval from all quarters. Necessarily the resolutions from the Deacon Board attracted most attention. They were lengthy and the following extract from the same may prove to be of interest: "On July 4, 1918, on a very hot day at Woodland Cemetery, while delivering one of the greatest creations of his life, at the tomb of the sainted John Jasper, he was stricken. His Life was in the balance for a time. For several years, he was unable to preach at all, but he stood out that the Lord promised him sha he should preach again and hat he believed it. MADE GOOD HIS PROMISE "The Lord made good His promise and in time, he did preach. At his own request he was finally relieved of the assistant pastor, which the Church had given him. During all the years of his ministry, the Church never tired of looking after him. A few ministers, white or colored, anywhere in the country have been looked after more so than he in his sickness as well as in prosperity. He has never been his former self since his affliction in 1918. As the years have come and gone, its strength had very naturally waned, his memory was impaired, his gait unsteady. FAILING HEALTH "There were other evidences of his failing health. These things were noticed by the Church. The Deacon Board with the greatest consolation for him and the Church took him into counsel with a view of helping him in any way he desired. He gladly welcomed the offer and mildly rebuked the deacons for not having made the offer before. We shall at this point draw the veil on all that has been said and done except to console ourselves with the confidence as imposed in us by the vote of the Church and also by the pastor himself, for in our last church meeting, he said that he had no cause to complain of the deacons, that they created him all right and that they had been very patient with him." Signed, E. F Johnson, chair man, W. S. Banks, clerk. CLERK BANKS BEGINS Olerk Banks announced that he would proceed with the rites. They were: Deaconess Board of the Second Baptist's Church, Mrs. Rosa, E. Watson, presiden, Emma Booker Jones, vice-president, Emeline Johnson secretary, Second Baptist; Church Sunday School; Dr. M.

Society, Elizabeth A. Faulcon president, J. Victor a Bowies, secretary, Ladies Auxiliary of the Ushers' Board, Fannie James, president, Gladys I. Hill, secretary, Board of Trustees, Edward, Stewart, chairman W. G. Carr'er, secretary, Then came resolutions from the minis'ers who had gone out from the Second Bapits' Church, Rev. J. J. Nickens, secretary. By this time, an hour had been consumed. Quietly Waiting Then came the resolutions from the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Richmond and vicinity with Rev. W. L. Ransome, D. D., pastor of the First Baptist Church, South Richmond, reading them. In the midst of this delay Rev. W. T. Johnson, who had been chosen by the unanimous consent of the family sat undisturbed and undismayed. The ticking of the minutes away by the clock had no visible effect upon him. He had his forty-minute funeral oration to deliver and, upon being presented by Rev. W. H. Stokes quietly arose and proceeded to his task just as though the funeral cortege had just entered the church. The Outstanding Figure He said that he refretted that the one outstanding figure in the ministry, owing to illness, was unable to be present. He referred to Rev. Evans Payne, D. D., pastor of the Fourth Baptist Church. There was a bond of friendship between Rev. Dr. Payne and the deceased. The duty of delivering the funeral discourse fell to him by the united request of the family. He would confine his remarks to a few written statements. The text was Deuteronomy 34:5; "So Moses. THE RICHMOND PLANET. RIJHMOND' VIRGINIA BANK OF NEW YORK MECHANICS OFFICE BUILDING OFFICES Single or in Suites For Rent. Reasonable Prices. the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord." Compared With Moses He discussed Moses as the sleeping saint and the leading of a disobedient peopel. He told of Moses smiting the rock with the admonition, "Drink, ye rebels." He spoke of his going upon the mountain of conflict, his pulling against opposition and his carrying out the injunction to see to it that the law was executed. It is impossible to picture the effect of this remarkable discourse. It was a masterly efforts skilfully handled. No canoeist more skilfully handled a boat and guided it through the rocks of a treacherous mountain stream with more skill and dexterity, avoiding the rocks and the whirl-pools than did this able Baptist divine in dealing with a subject where stirring events which recently took place in this celebrated edifice and which resulted finally in "Peace, like a river." Won Approval At its conclusion, he had won practically the admiration and approval of that vast concourse of people, who thronged the auditorium of the Second Baptist Church. Then came the aftermath. Master of Ceremonies William H. Stokes, announced that short addresses, not exceeding five minutes would then be made. He would not interrupt any of the speakers, who exceeded the limit, he would stand when the limit expired. He kept his word, too. He was no respecter of persons, either as to sex, age, prominence or condition. When the time was out, he stood up and no speaker had the temerity to continue speaking when this impressive divine arose and looked at him. The List of Speakers The list comprised Rev. J. E. Fountain, Rev. George E. Read, D. D. President W. J. Clark, Rev. D. J. Fletcher, Rev. H. R. Williams, Mrs. M. R. Johnson, Rev. J. H. Randolph, Washington, D. C., Rev. E. C. Smith, Master of Ceremonies, and the people were evidently tired at this point, so one verse of Hymn 625 was sung, "I Would Not Live Alway." Rev. Walter H. Brooks, D. D., former pastor Second Baptist Church; Rev. W. F. Graham, D. D., Philadelphia; Rev. W. B. Warco, J. B. Lawrence, Love and Charity; Dr. J. C. Bryant, New York, St. Luke Order; President R. C. Woods, Lynchburg. Rev. Charles S. Morris, D. D. Lynchburg; Rev. I. H. Hines, Rev. H. R. Williams, President General Association. Then followed a list of telegrams and condolences, which were announced by Attorney James T. Carter, all of which he had not finished compiling. One was from Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, who was reported to be recuperating at Hot Springs, Ark., and who was not then in a condition to make the long trip after being under treatment. Routing of Procession Funeral Director Frank H. Hayes took charge. As the procession left the church, over across the street Photographer Dickerson had his camera in position to "snap" the scene. The interment was in Evergreen Cemetery and the floral blanket was intered with the remains. The Traffic Department routed the remains up Second Street, down Cary Street to avoid congestion of traffic. As a result, many persons, who had expected to see the funeral procession to pass were disappointed. Thus ended the career of one of the most picturesque, able, forceful characters, the Baptist denomination has ever produced. --- MT. OLIVET BAPTIST CHURCH, (25th and 5 Streets) Rev, J.

Here is the method: You simply take one teaspoonful and hold it in your throat for 15 or 20 seconds before swallowing it. It has a double action. It not only soothes and heals irritation, but also removes the phlegm and congestion which are the 'real cause' of the coughing. As a result even the worst coughers can get rid of it. Dr. King's New Discovery is for coughs, chest colds, bronchitis, spasmic croup, etc. Fine for children, too—no harmful drugs. Very economical, as the dose is only one teaspoonful. At all good drugseers. Ask for DR.KING'S NEW DISCOVERY FOR COUGHS —The Capital Photograph will be distributed to any licensed merchant throughout the State, at wholesale price.

Milady Will Wear Them on Easter I 81X This Week By Arthur Brisbane ONLY WORK COUNTS. IT ALL COMES BACK. CONSPICUOUS GOOD NEWS. EAT SOUP. MINERAL SALTS. Bishop Manning, head of the Protestant Episcopal Church in New York, denouncing divorce in high society, says it means "practical polygamy." In one year there were only 57 divorces in Canada, against 112,036 in the United States. Some questions: How does the Bishop expect high society to amuse itself if it can't get an occasional divorce. Would the average of high moral morality be any better if men and women, disliking each other, were compelled to remain married? Is not man naturally a polygamous animal, reverting to polygamy when economic pressure is removed, as in high society? Reuben Hoffman, aged twenty-eight, shot himself to death, leaving word that he chose to die because he was a failure. He mentioned also the fact that he had "never worked much, for fear of making a slave of himself." If he had been a little more of a slave, he might have been less of a failure. Men need to realize that work is the only thing worth while. Richard Padgett, scientist, shows an instrument that talks. It says "Hello, London, are you there?" and "Lila, I love you." Science lets us talk across the continent or, lying in bed, hear the President making his speech in Washington. Now appears a machine that may save us the trouble of talking. Man's greatest work is done by pushing a button, which button Milady Wil A hat like this, a dress like this, a suit like this and a coat like this—and lo, Milady is all ready for the zephyr of ye springtide! The hat, says Dame Fashion, must be trig and trim as a sea captain's fr castle, built to weather any gale, snug-fitting to the pate, tilted over one eye, part straw, part felt or fabric. This hat is of fine black straw with black satin and gay-colored buckle. The suit, trimly tallened as a man's, is of hairline stripe blue awl. Sally Milgrim, designer, uses the hip darts to make it --- starts the steam shovel or steamship. Zangwil wrote long ago, "The Napoleon of the future will be an epileptic chess player, carrier about the field of battle on an air cushion." Let's hope that will never come, but inventors are doing what they can to bring it about. One Hundred Thousand New York building trades workers will get what they ask, $1 to $2 a day increase. This will add $75,000,000 a year to the $525,000,000 already paid those wage-carriers. Conservative capital will weer for a little while, saying "The nation is going to the dogs." Later, conservative capital will find all the money coming back to its coffers. Masons, plasterers, bricklayers, carpenters, spend what they get. Some day big men will learn that all the money they can ever get, is money spent by little men. Bad news is conspicuous, good news not. For instance, the navy perfects a torch used under water, despite the intense pressure of great depths. It's an interesting torch, with three sheaves meeting at a point. From the three sheaves acetylene gas, hydrogen gas and compressed air burst forth. An air bubble protects the fire under pressure, and the torch, developing under water a temperature of 5,000 degrees, will burn holes in the steel sides of sunken submarines and other ships, making it possible to pump in air and raise them to the surface. Lady Fisher, having lived on fruit juice and vegetable extracts for forty-two days, breaks her "fast" and takes milk. The diet, is not a fast, has done her good, improving her complexion, preserving her strength. From vegetables boiled to a liquid, she got the mineral salts absolutely essential to health. Give one rat nothing but water, give another rat water and unlimited quantities of food from which all mineral salts have been extracted; the rat eating food will die before the rat taking only water. Food without mineral salts as food without nourishment. That is why good soup that includes boiled vegetables is so important. The best part of vegetables is boiled out in many households and thrown away. In soup it is preserved. ill Wear Them even more snugly mannish. With the suit Milady doesn't actually need the equally trim --- THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page by John Joseph Gaines, M. D. The fumes of the lighted cigarette carry their entire influence to the user in response to suction, and are distributed by inhalation. All people who smoke, inhale. Some deny this, but they are mistaken. The smoke enters the mouth and attacks the sensitive nerves of the oral cavity instantly. The first effect is stimulation, longer and more frequent indulgence weakens—overpowers. Exhaustion takes place, due to overstimulation. The taste of the addict becomes less acute as time goes on, until he cannot appreciate the flavors of his food. Nothing tastes so good to him as the fumes of this burlesque of the tobaccoist. It is safe to say that the chewer of "the weed" suffers less damage than the absorber of the volatile chemical within the cigarette! The chewer escapes much of tobacco poisoning by his copious expectoration—but cigarette fumes absorb and stay until their entire effect is bestowed upon the victim. Cigarette-smoking is distinctly a follow-up process, each one reaching farther along the nerve-fibres toward the brain than its predecessor advanced. Exhaled through the nostrils, the harm done is quadrupled; with wide nostrils, even this is intensified, until the sensitive mucous membranes become dry, the sense of smell diminished or lost, the breath fetid and unholy, the face expressionless, the hearing and eyesight less acute, and the poise of the brain disturbed until the fingers tremble under the slightest excitement. That this condition lessens courage and executive ability, is beyond question. Is the game worth the cost? Next Week:— INVISIBLE POISON on Easter street coat, although she would enjoy it with her summer dresses. If a coat doesn't have a cape attached this spring, it must have the swaggerish cape effect as does this one from Anna Staber. Plaids, mixtures, checks, fashion the year's coats. As for the dress, it's print, and enough's said. Print leads all other fabrics this year. It's prints for morning, afternoon and night. This one is of black with biege and citron pattern. The One who Forgot BY RUBY M. AYRES 01925 KFA. SERVICES THE MOVIE The above photograph shows Jacob Nesbitt, who confessed to Troy (O.) police that he killed his wife, Frances, during a "red rage" which followed a quarrel he had had with her. She was an Ohio State University graduate. He confessed after having helped the police search for the slayer for three weeks. Sheriff Spillman is shown on the left and Detective Joseph Wilcox, right, leading Nesbitt to jail after the confession. BEGIN HERE TODAY PETER, LYSTER has lost his smoke from the fire in Western Front. Upon return to Boston from France he fails to recognize NAN MARRABY, the girl to whom he became engaged before leaving for Nan has returned to her home, but he is in touch with her friend NANCY DICOTT, whose husband is spending a few days in London on leave. Nan meets JOHN ARNOTT, a fellow officer with Peter, who informs her that he is leading a few days at the home of his sister and that Peter is with him. Nan is jealous of Arnott's sister and annoyed by the attentions of HARLEY SEFTON, a money lender been visiting her father. Sefton has known Nan. He tells her that although he and Pats are great friends, Peter failed to help her when they met on the road nearby from his advances until he becomes and indicates that her father is his friend. Peter also owes him a great sum of money. "It's a lie, a lie". NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY SEFTON laughed sneeringly. "You're a plucky champion," he said. "The more so as the man you are defending is nothing to you." He watched her closely as he spoke, and it gave him a sort of satisfaction to see the color die from her face, to see the proud poise of her head falter. "There are some people whom one defends instinctively from such a man as you," she retorted. "I wonder you are not ashamed to stand there and tell such abominable lies. Mr. Lyster is nothing to me any more, but—" Sefton laughed. "Or is it that you are nothing to him?" he asked insolently. Nan's eyes blazed. "Oh, if I were a man I'd thrash you within an inch of your life;" she said passionately. "To dare to come here and offer me your friendship and then insult me like this." She walked past him to the door. Sefton watched her. "What are you going to do?" he asked. "I am going to fetch my father and ask him to turn you out of the house," she answered. Sefton laughed. "Do, by all means; but I'm afraid he won't oblige you." There was a note of certainty in his voice that arrested Nan's attention. She looked back at him. Sefton was leaning over a chain back, tapping the heel of his boot with a riding-crop he carried. "You will find your father would infinitely prefey that I remain," he said coolly. Nan's blue eyes searched his face she caught her breath. "I suppose you will be telling me next that my father owes you money as well?" she said scornfully. "It would be no more than the truth," he answered. He raised himself suddenly from his stooping position, and crossing the room to where she stood, stretched a hand above her head and shut the door. "Look here, Miss Marraby," he told more gently. "I'm not out to quarrel with you—I admire you more than any woman I've met in all my life, and—" "Thank you," said Nan furiously. "Your admiration is an honor which I can do without." He smiled. "Very well, let it go at that. You don't like me for some reason, but I assure you that I can be a very good friend to you and—your family, if you will allow me. My business, I suppose, you despise—most women, I believe—but I'm what you can't call an unfortunate necessity, if your father was not borrowing money from me he would be borrowing it from somebody else, and I daresay I am treating him better than a good many people might in the same circumstances. With regard to Lyster—" "don't wish to listen to you—I believe you're lying—I don't believe my father ever borrowed a penny from you in his life, or from anybody else—" She faced him proudly, but her heart was beating with unformed fear. Sefton shrugged his shoulders. "Very well—go and ask him—I will come with you, if you like." He opened it, and looked at her. "Well! Shall we go and ask him?" "No," said Nan. Her courage seemed to have des R. J. SCOTT "Am I to let him go? It rests with you." serted her, though she did not show it, she was afraid of this man; it seemed to her that there was some underlying motive in all he was sayin' he was just leading up to a point which had been forming in his mind ever since their meeting in the train. Soften shut the door again and walked over to the fireplace. "Will you listen to me for a moment?" he said, presently. He did not wait for her to speak, he went on: "Many a man gets into difficulties through no fault of his own. There is no disgrace in getting into difficulties, as you would know, if you had seen the ruin brought about by this accursed war, as I have. Your father has been—unfortunate! I am telling you no more than the truth. Miss Marrabry, when, I say that I have saved him from absolute ruin. He is a weak man—but I suppose you know that. I advanced him money which would tide him over a temporary embarrassment—that is all." Nan looked up then—her eyes were fierce, "What a hundred per cent?" she asked cuttingly. "That is beside the point," he answered. "One ans to pay for assistance nowadays . . . But with regard to Lyster . . ." She sprang to her feet. "I refuse to discuss him with you—I refuse to allow his name to be mentioned. You pretended to be a friend of his—" He raised his brows. "If Lyster has played the game he must have told you what I was," he said. "Lyster is a very average man, though I don't expect I can convince you that he is. Before you him he went the pace very much, but he didn't tie to steady him does go the pace. I'm not quarrelling with him for that 宗 —but he owes me money—more money than he can repay at present, anyway. And the question is—am I to ask him for it—or not?" Nan did not understand what he meant. Soon went on: "Lyster is suffering from loss' of memory—so he says." "He is. How dare you suggest anything else?" "Very well, then, he is. With the other case, of which I told you, in my mind I am naturally rather suspicious. I met Lyster yesterday down the road, and he did not know me." He shrugged his shoulders. "Well—he owes me money . . . if he has lost his memory, he has probably forgotten that he owes me money. This is what I wished to ask your advice about—am I to let him go? It rests with you." He had moved closer to her again now; his head was craned forward in a peculiarly eager fashion. Nan fell back from him. "I don't know what you mean," she said ceaselessly. He laughed pleasantly. "I think you do. However, perhaps it is rather early days yet for me to explain, seeing that this is only the third time we have met." He took up his hat and the riding-whip from the table. "I wish you good-day," he said. The gate creaked protestingly as he shut it, and then all was silence. Nan stood where he had left her, her hands grasping the chair-back. She felt as if the afternoon had been a bad dream. No wonder the boys had not liked Sefton; no wonder her own instinct had warned her against him. And her father and Peter both owed him money! "I don't believe it!" she said aloud. "A man like that would say anything. I don't believe it!" She began mechanically to clear away the tear things. She carried them out to the maid, who was straining her eyes by the twilight to read a novelle; then she opened the side door and went out into the garden. It was not dark yet. A breath of cool air stirred the trees and fanned Nan's hot face. The words Sefton had spoken to her burned her heart. No man had ever dared speak so to her before. "And I've never been afraid of anyone in all my life." she told her trembling, "What has happened to me?" She had even been afraid to go to her father and tell him what had occurred; why was this? Deep down in her heart she knew; knew that though she had called Sefton a lar and refused to believe what he had said, something had told her that he had spoken the truth. Nan had never been on affectionate touch with her father. She knew he no matter how deeply involved he might be, he would never make a confidante of her. And now the menacing figure of Harley Sefton had stepped in. What had he meant when he said that it rested with her whether or no he asked Peter to repay the money he had borrowed? Nan had not the faintest idea—she walked up and down in the dusky garden racking her brains for a solution. What had he meant by hinting that Peter was shamming?—she remembered her own doubts, and fear stabbed her heart. She reached the gate, and for a moment leaned over it, looking down the road to the village beyond, where a few lights twinkled faintly through the darkness. Peter! What was he doing now? Jealousy of Arnott's sister rose again in her mind; Arnott had said that she was one of the best—supposing Peter was one of like her, and then to love her. Unconsciously Nan fingered the ring which she wore at her neck; she had always felt that she got courage from touching it, but tonight it left her cold. "You've got no pluck, my girl" she told herself fiercely. She clutched her hands on the cold iron spikes at the top of—the gate till they hurt her soft flesh. "Nan—Nan . . ." One of the boys called from the house behind her.
