The Post quotes approvingly the

Unless this is done, he predicts, the war
will be followed by the greatest boom

LONDON, October 1.-THE levying of
still heavier duties on imports from the
United States and other foreign coun-
tries is urged by the Post financial edi-

sary in order to restrict further the
use of luxuries and enforce economy
upon the common people.
"On the assumption that the war will
last for long period and that our
power over foreign exchange may tend
to weaken rather than to become
stronger" the Post says. "our whole
policy should be in the direction of mo-

The stretch of North sea coast, from
Ostend to French Dunkirk, is dotted
thick with summer resorts, which have
enjoyed wide interna tional popular
ity. Along the electric railway from

The broad field of hill-high sand
dunes begins just below Westende and
sweeps down the coast far behind the
lines of the allies. These Belgian
sand piles have become known every
where for the frightful carnage which
has taken place among them. In this
same field of dunes. which extends
southwest to the French frontier, was
fought, in 1000, the Battle Of the Dunes

Washington, Aug. 12.-"Bite the
bubble is the latest health hint"
from the United State Public Health
and Marine Hospital service. The ex-
pert for the marine hospital service
says:
If improperly constructed or I'm
properly used, the bubbling drinking
fountain may be a greater menace to
health than the common drinking cup.
The other day an inspector of the
u. s. Public Health service took a seat
beside bubbiing drinking fountain in
a railway station and watched the way
in which 1t was used. Forty-seven
different persons. eleven men. twenty
two women and fourteen children,
used the bubbling fountain. In al
most every case the lips were placed
almost completely around the metal
ball from which the water spurted.
and one small boy seemed as IL he
were trying to swallow it. Several
of the men obviously were chewing
tobacco.
I'm using the bubbling fountain the
rule should be, bite the bubble The
lips should not touch any part of the
fountain"

BULGARIA, AGAIN.

Shortly after Itaiy's intervention in
the war on the side OF the Allies, 1t
was announced that there would soon
be more allies. same to be drawn from
the Balkan States, particularly Bull
garia, Greece and Rumania. Some
hitch occurred in the schedule. how
ever. and Bulgaria, Rumania and
Greece remained on the fence. AL,
efforts to dislodge them have proven
unavailing.
The real lesson to be drawn from
the situation is that no false peace
should be made at the end of the
present war. A false peace concluded
the first Balkan war, and seconO
war resulted among the alias OF the
first. Then it seems that the second
peace was a false one, and but for
the unprecedented conflict which
overshadowed all else, it is probable
that the smouldering Balkans would
a third time have burst into flame
and battle-smoke. Now before start
ing into war as an ally of the Allies.
Bulgaria demands that she shall be
guaranteed as her reward a portion
of Servia which she claims should
have been hers by rights at the end of
the last war, but which the interven-
ton and meddling of England anc
other European powers in the peace
proposals which concluded the war.
prevented her from acquiring. This
territory is said to include a million
Buigarians in its borders. Before Great
Britain can get the benefit OF another
ally, for the present war she mus:
undo the evil that resulted from an
other which was badly ended
In the present war. when peace fin
ally does come. the neutral world is
far more concerned that the peace
shall be lasting than that one side
or the other secures the most advan-
tage from 1t. A lasting peace will be
the just peace.

RELIGIOUS HERALD
ON PRIMARY RESULT

The Democratic primaries held on
Tuesday. august 3, showed beyond
| question that the interest or our peo-
pie in Statewide prohibition is per-
manent and growthful. II anybody
supposed that the majority given on
the 22nd of September, 1914, in IA
vor of this policy was due to the ex-
element OF a great campaign, and
that when the exciting period had
passed and the people settled down
again to their ordinary courses of life,
they would become Indifferent to it,
he may proceed at once to correct
his error in the light of the recent
elections. Certainly these were as
quiet and unexciting as anybody could
wish. Yet, of the men who resisted
the will of the people in House and
Senate, ono after another has fallen
by the wayside. Even where they
were manifestiy honest and sincere
in their declaration of adhesion to
the policy adopted in September. they
had hard time with the voters. Our
Virginia people are a conservative
folk. making UP their minds quietly
and sometimes slowly, but usually
with degree of permanence in their
decisions that is not found among
more volatile people. They are set
on the removal of this evil. The cleo
ton on the 22nd of September. fol-
lowed by the results of the primaries
on August 3, will convince everybody
who is open at all to conviction that
our task now is to begin seriously
and as intelligently as we may to
make our legislative program. A Diff
ficult task indeed this is, but we re-
joice in the opportunity to take 1t up.
and we pray for the divine wisdom
that II may be discharged with pru-
dence and courage and that this old
Commonwealth may show to all her
sister States an example OF law OBJ
servance on the part OF her citizens
and law enforcement on the part OF
her officials that shall be worthy OF
her past history and her present great
ness.--Religious Herald
