COMMONWEALTH ATT RNEY,
HOBSoN TELLS HOW TO M
PROVE PIKE.

commemorative Attorney Haskins
Hobson. OF Chesterfield County. is
very strong in his expressions con-
corning the causes OF tho poor con-
dftion OF the Richmond and Peters
burg Turnpike.
According to Mr.. Hobson, there
will be no change In the condition of
the road until Richmond and Peters
burg dig into their pockets and bring
forth sufficient funds for the improve
mont OF the road adjacent 10 the two
cities named
Then" said MIR. Hobson yesterday.
the supervisors OF Chesterfield
County will willingly contribute to-
ward the Improvement of the high
way. But as tho people OF Rich
mond and Petersburg receive vast
benefits from the road. and Chester
field very little We can see no reason
for investing large sums in placing
the roadway In good shape"
Mr. Hobson said tina. 81 Richmon q
miles of the road ont from Rich
mond, and Petersburg would improve
five miles out from that city. tho
supervisors OF Chesterfield would i'm
prove the road betYeen those points
The Commonwealth Attorney said
that the main cause Of the bad con-
ditton of the road is the heavy track
hauling from the warehouses OF South
Richmond. He declares they dig
deep ruts in the road, and that no
effort Is made to remedy that condi-
ton.
This matter may be brought to the
attention OF City Council NJ an carry

Saturday-Russia chronicles the
repulse of the Germans on the right
bank of the Dniester in the vicinity
of Zurawna and also at several other
points in this region, and asserts

Teutons were successful in their at
tacks on the Russians south of the
Dniester and along the Pruth.
While the Italians are claiming the
capture of Ploken, Strategic point
on the Austro-I Italian frontier, the
Austrians assert that Italian attacks
on all their fronts have been re-
pulsed.
The Serbians are reported to have
captured FL Basson and Tirana in

Bilious Attacks.

When you have bilious attack your
liver fails to perform its functions. You
become constipated. The food you eat
ferments in your stomach instead OF
digesting. This inflames the stomach
and causes nausea, vomiting and ter
rible headache. Take Chamberlain 3
Tablets. They will tone up your liver,
clean out your stomach and you will
soon be as well as ever. They only cost
a quarter. Obtainable everywhere.

Ebert Hubbard, the we'll known
writer and lecturer of New York, was
one of the passengers enroute to
Europe, who went down with the
Lusitania. When the Titanic went
down, Hubbard gave this tribute TO
the memory of the vic inns: GAS
your souls play hide and seek with
the sirens and dance with the naiads,
you have lost interest in us. But
our hearts are with you still. You
showed us how death and danger
put all on a parity. The women in
the steerage we're your sisters-the
men your brothers; and on the tab
lets of love and memory we have
'graved your names. Happily the
world has passed forever from the
time when it fees sorrow for the
dead. The dead are at rest, their
work is ended, they have drunk of
the waters of the Lethe, and these
are rocked in the cradle of the deep.
We kiss our hands to them and cry
Hail and farewell-until we meet
again. "
