The cases of John Nelson and James La
Fontaine charged with conducting busi-
ness at Jackson City In violation OF the
gambling laws Of the state OF Virginia
were continued this morning in the circuit
court for Alexandria county on Fort Myer
Heights until the February term. The con-
tinuance was ordered by Judge Nicol after
1t had been agreed to by Commonwealth
Attorney Crandal Mackey on the strength
of assurances by counsel for the defendants
that the pool rooms alleged to be con-
Quoted by the defendants would not be re-
opened in the interval.
When the cases were called the COM
monwealth attorney was ready to pro-
seed with the trial. but Attorney Walter l.
Oliver Of counsel for the defendants asked
to have the hearing deferred, on the
ground that he was Ill. and also because
his associate counsel, Attorney X ID.
Brumback, was unable to be present. After
the agreement had been reached, as stated,
the order for the continuance was en-
tered
The cases came up on an appeal from
the decision Of Magistrates Supplee and
Hagan, the maximum sentence allowed
under the law having been imposed.
William Bright. charged with breaking
and entering a railroad car and stealing
therefrom was sentenced this afternoon by
Judge Nicol to serve six years In the penn
Tertiary. On a plea of guilty the court
seemed disposed to be lenient and sentenced
the prisoner to serve one year, but 1t was
later discovered that under the law SEN
tence Of six years was necessary by reason
of the fact that Bright had before been
convicted of felony. He was represented by
Attorneys Machen and Moncure.

Are Diseases Increasing.
From the Practitioner

There can be no question that the preya-
lence of certain diseases has increased dur
ing the last half century. Conspicuous
among these are diabetes and insomnia,
both OF which are largely due to the mental
stress OF a. harder struggle for existence.
The increased consumption of alcohol and
the free use Of narcotics are also response
BILE for many morbid conditions unknown to
our harder forbears. But, In comparing
the present prevalence of diseases with that
OF the past, there are several factors for
which due allowance IL often not made.
One OF these IL that our forefathers died. as
a rule, at considerably younger age than
their descendants: II they did not perish by
the sword they were moved down from
time to time by the plague and other deyas-
tating epidemics. In this way they escaped
many OF the diseases not only of old age.
but OF advanced middle life. Again. II must
not be forgotten that each generation rep
resented to a much larger extent than y
now the case the survival OF the fittest-
Most of the weaklings died In childhood
The trfumphs of modern hygiene is that
II has preserved large proportion Of these
lives.
