RICHMOND PEOPLE
ATTEND MEETINGS
Local Men and Women are Sur
prised at Results Received
Lately.

The specialists who have charge Of tho
introduction in Richmond Of the remark
able new tonic, called fiona Vita" had
busy day yesterday a steady stream
OF callers visited the Polk Miller Drug
Company 10 witness the 'ivc-minutc
demonstration and secure trial Of the
preparation.
This is only the beginning, said one
OF the specialists. During the next two
weeks we expect to meet many people
at this store, as many more are coming
every day During the res, of this week
we will continue to let callers have a free
trial Of the tonic, but this will not be
necessary after this week.
Any man or woman in Richmond who
is victim Of nervous debility is making
a grave mistake il they do not try this
tonic. In the first place, If it docs not
restore them to health it costs nothing.
and it is certainly worth the trouble 10
come and get the tonic when il means
constant poor health if they don't. The
symptoms OF nervous debility arc often
mistaken Tor something else stomach
trouble. as rulc-but there is no mis-
taking debility 70. anything else BY those
who understand it. The following arc
charactcrtistic OF this trouble: L-assitudc,
timldity, depression Of spirits, little vi
tality,' cold feet, headaches, stomach and
Dowci trouble, weak back, with dull pains
at the base OF the spine These are all
unmistakable symptoms Of nervous de-.
bility, and there are thousands Of people,
especially in the larger cities, who are af,
flicted.
" iona Vita will act in such cases like
a true SPECIFIC: From the first moment
the tonic is taken Improvement is rapid.
a dozen people who started taking the
tonic last week told US today that thew
are like different individuals. Ono wo i.
man told me she had not had a happv
moment for four years until the last few
days. She stated that she used to sing.
but had been SO depressed in spirits that
she had not done SO for several years.
She told me she had been singing while
attending her household duties during the
last lew days, as she had not done since
she was girl"
a trial is all that is necessary. 70 prove
to an individual suffering from nervous
debility that this woman had good cause
Tor singing Eliminating debility from
the system is like lifting weight from
the heart and cloud from the brain.
The specialists will meet all callers
daily at the Polk Miller Drug Company,
s3i East Main Street, between the hours
OF a. NJ. and p. NJ. and explain to
them the nature OF their preparation.
The manager OF the store saws: 1--WE
did not know much about this tonic a
lew weeks ago except that reliable people
were putting it out and that leading drug
gists in the United States were getting
the agency for it. The preparation has
opened our eyes since the specialists ar
rived 10 introduce il. We have never seen
such a tremendous demand for any tonic
before, and the results we get from pur
chascrs are very ilattering.

SUPT. EGGLES1ON
IN VITES PROBE
Says Department of Education
Is Ready for In
Vestigation.

SO far as an investigation of the
Department of Education is concerned"
said j. u. Eggleston, Superintendent OF
Public Instruction, yesterday, I've in
vlte that at any time. The methods
OF this office are open to probe ana
question whenever the General As
scmbly sees 1T. What we do object
TO Is any hit at the integrity and good
Intentions OF the men in the depart
ment."
Both Mr.. Eggleston and Secretary r.
{. Stearnes seemed In the best humor.
and entirely undisturbed by the threats
of certain Chesterfield citizens to "cx-
pose the Department of Education. Mr..
Eggleston only took UP one or two OF
the charges brought in the petition
for Investigation.
There is not the shadow of a nos
sibility that the first charge-that we
have allowed our books to be altered
by county superintendents after they
are In our office-can be substantiated
The only thing to Ice found there
is pretty mares nest The old
complaint that our reports are not
In on htime is in q measure just, but
the blame is not TO be put against
this department, but against the GEN
cral Assembly. We have repeatedly
asked the Assembly for legislation that
will enable the department to make the
county superintendent send us their
reports on time. We have such n bill
pending in the Assembly at this time.
"As for tho Investigation into the
school affairs of Chesterfield county,
asked In the petition, that is beyond
the power of the Assembly. The AS
sembly can investigate the State De-
partment. but the Investigation of
county affairs is In our hands we are
ready Mt any tipe to turn the search
light on the school affairs Of Chester
field, il there is ground for complaint"

BEGINNING THE
BIG SERIAL

THERE is hardly hint OF THE LOST
WORLD in the opening instalment OF
the greatest novel Of adventure that has been
written in years. which begins in this number
Of our SUNDAY MAGAZINE. Il starts quietly
as most big things do start; but you feel the
import Of thrilling events to come.
In this beginning the author Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle. manifcsts his great literary
skill. He carries YOU along with a sense OF
reality. Chiefly you become thoroughly ac-
quainted with Malone, the newspaper re-
porter, who tells the story and is a very inn
portant actor in it. 1t is a wonderfully cf-
fective background that the novelist gives
There is action enough in the second in
stalment, which appears next week. Then
comes the formal introduction TO Professor
Challenger. As a matter Of fact, it isn't
formal at all: it is too extraordinary and cx-
citing even to suggest formality. You know,
perhaps, that the illustration on the cover Of
this number is a portrait Of the great scientist
who is the chief character Of the tale. He is
even more remarkable than he looks. Never
was a hero presented in such amazing fashion
as is this man There is a fight between him
and Malone-a physical fight. mind you-
that is about as exciting as anything YOU ever
read. II you are familiar with Rodney
Stone" which Conan Doyle wrote several
years ago. you know he is an authority on
physical combat.
Sherlock Holmes is no more distinctive, no
more individual, no more fascinating, than
Professor Challenger. And the great de-
tcctivc doesn't begin TO be 50 human as the
great scientist Certainly the former never
had such thrilling adventures.
But you will have to wait until next week
really to know Challenger and a little later
before the other members of the expedition
appear upon the scene. And, no matter how
much you expect of them, you will not be dis
appointed. That's the kind of men they are.
And you will have about all the excitement
you can stand before you are through with
the tale.
OF course the great adventure serial will
dominate our next number; but you will find
in it other things you will be glad to read
Altogether, it is pretty fine.

started in musical comedy, where she made
a real hit because of her cleverness her dainty

article is notable because of the ideas in 1t, and
the understanding. 1t is very different from
