Alcohol a. a Cleanser.

When you go to the washstand and
carefully wash your hands with gen.
erous application of soap and hard
brush do not think for an instant that
your hands are clean. The tenacious
microbe refuses to be disturbed and
clings to the flesh throughout the
whole operation, says the Lancet.
There are some chemical compounds
which will dislodge the busy bacilli to
a certain extent, but not entirely.
According to the investigation Of q
medical authority of the Prussian ar.
my the best results In the direction
OF giving the hands Il sanitary cleaning
are accomplished by the use of alcohol
A bath OF pure alcohol will remove
about 90 per cent OF the germs. Where
1t is desired to clean the hands hygi
enically 1t is recommended that the
hands be not first washed with water,
for this will so adulterate the alcohol
that 1t can not accomplish its work as
effectively as otherwise.

WHERE DOGS ARE BARRED

Score one for the Richmond hotel
keepers. They have rule to the ef-
feet that dogs are dogs, that no matter
how aristocratic they may be, or how
long their pedigrees, they may not be
housed in the rooms reserved for
guests.
Miss Olga Nethersole has found this
out. After travelling all over the
country, and having her dog enter
tanned with her at the SWEETEST OF hos
telries she landed in Richmond Sum
day night to be confronted with the
mo dog" edict. She was very indig-
nant. She went first to the Jefferson.
The management was very sorry, bu
Miss Nethersole could not be accom-
modated if she insisted on having her
dog in her rooms She tried elsewhere
the Richmond, Murphy's, the Guer-
rant, the Lexington, and an apart
ment house or SO. Same result-no
dogs in rooms reserved for guests.
Then she capitulated, returned to the
Jefferson and getting the promise that
her pet should be well cared for, went
to her apartments while the dog went
to the trash room in care of bell boy.
II is said this is the first time the
dog test has ever been put up to all the
hotels, and it is gratifying that they
all stood together. Miss Nethersole's
dog may be very nice dog as dogs go,
may be cleanly and free from fieas,
but the next person to occupy the
apartments might have very serious
objections to taking room that had
been used as kennel. The rule en-
forced in Richmond in this case is one
that is general throughout the country.
II it should be enforced it would soon
break up the habit that many women
have, that of toting dogs aroun with
them wherever they 60.

OUR TRAVELLING PRESIDENT

For fat man, President Taft surely
does like to keep on the move. He
has already spent more time travelling
about the country than any President
we have ever had and now he is plan
ming new trips for the spring. These,
according to reports from Washington.
will begin early in February, will take
him thousands of miles away from
Washington, and keep him away from
the Capital many days at time. Bis
first trip this spring will begin in the
FIRST week in February when he will
20 to Springfield, ILL.,, to attend the
Lincoln memorial celebration. He
will stop over at Columbus for awhile
to see how things have been going in
his home state since he was last there,
and he is expected also to spend q
couple of days taking trolley rides over
some of the lines in Central Illinois,
owned by Representative William B.
Mckinley. He hopes to get back to
the White House by February ID. He
will devote couple of weeks to bust
ness aud in packing up his grips SO as
to be ready to start out on March for
Atlanta, Ga, where he will speak be-
fore the Southern Commercial Con-
gress. Thence he will run up home
to Cincinnati, not Washington, where
he will spend several days, and then
run over to Cleveland to see what is
going on there. He will return to
Washington again for awhile, but it
not thought he will remain very long
for he is expected to make few trips
to the North and East. He is said to
have made no plans for long trips in
April OF May, but in June he will
move to Beverly, and from there, he is
expected to make trips to the East and
Middle West. Then he is going out to
Kansas in September.
Mr.. Taft believes it il good thing
for President to get out among the
people, and to let the people see what
real live President looks like, partic-
ularly one who hopes to be renominat-
ed; and he lives up to this belief. Also
he believes that when Congress makes
an appropriation for q Presidents
travelling expenses, that appropriation
should be used. Certainly he will
cave very little of his to be turned
back into the treasury.
He has not decided that he ought to
take another trip down to Panama to
see how Goethals is getting along with
the digging of the canal, or to select
the sites for those Notifications he is
so anxious to have there-that is he
has not decided that he ought to go
anyways soon, but it's dollars to
doughnuts that he will 60 down there
again before his term expires.

SHOCK WAS TOO MUCH
Mrs. John Rutherford Died Very
Suddenly Yesterday Morning


Nervous shock, the result of the
excitement she suffered on Tuesday
when her home was destroyed by fire,
early yesterday morning caused the
death of Mrs. Lottie Rutherford. wife
of John Rutherford, of near Staun-
ton. Mrs. Rutherford died at the
Kings Daughters Hospital, where she
had been brought the afternoon of
the fire.
While Mrs. Rutherford had beer
in declining health for some time,
having been confined to her bed for
weeks, there is little question that
the excitement Of Tuesday afternoon
was more directly responsible for her
death. Sire was the first pers on to
discover the fire and the shock which
this brought. together with thu ex-
ertion of walking to q neighbour
house, some little distance away, and
the trip to the hospital was too much
for her to stand.
Mrs. Rutherford before marriage
was Miss Lottle Schaeffer, and a
sister of the late Julius Scnaefsr,
who fer many years conducted tine
Virginia Hotel, which he had In
herited from his father. The family
came originally from the Winchester
section. She leaves her husband, and
one daughter, Miss Lottie Rutherford,
and one son John A. Rutherford.
The remains were taken to the manse OF
the First Presbyterian church and
the funeral will take place from there
this afternoon at O'Clock.
