POISON FACTORY
Urges Everyone to Drink Glass Of Hot
Water Before Breakfast.

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind certain amount of incombus-
tible material in the form of ashes, so
the food and drink taken day after day
leaves in the alimentary canal a Ger.
tain amount of indigestibIe material,
which if not completely eliminated
from the system each day, becomes
food for the millions of bacteria which
infest the bowels. From this mass of
leftover waste, toxins and ptomaine-
like poisons are formed and sucked in
to the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink glass of real hot wa
ter with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash out of the thir
emulation of poisons and toxins and
to keep the entire alimentary canal
clean, pure and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick head
ache, colds, billiousness, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have sour, gassy stomach af-
ter meals, are urged to get a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate from the
drug store. and begin practicing inter.
nal sanitation. This will cost very lit
tie, but is sufficient to make anyone
an enthusiast on the subject.
Remember inside bathing is more
important than outside bathing, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb i'm
purities into the blood, causing poor
health, while the bowel pores do. Just
as soap and hot water cleanses, sweet.
ems and freshens the skin, so hot wa.
ter and limestone phosphate act on the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels

SCHOOL TEACHER
Anaemic, Rundown, Nervous-HoW
She Recovered.

There are so many cases like this
right here in Richmond that we are
publishing this interesting letter with
the hope that some of our customers
will try Vinol and get the same happy
result that Miss BaeZ did.
Key West, Fla.-"l am a teacher and
became anaemic, nervous, rundown,
no energy or desire to do anything, /
could not sleep and had that languid,
nervous feeling that made me bur.
den to myself. had taken various ton
les without benefit / heard of Vinol
and tried it. Soon / had gaod appe.
tite, could sleep all night and it built
me up SO | have the am mbition to do
any kind of work" Mary L. Baez, Key
West, Fla.
The reason Vinol was so successful
in this case is because it is a consti-
tutional remedy that goes to the seat
of trouble. The peptonate of iron con-
tanned in Vinol enriches and revital-
lies tn eblood, while the strengthen
ing, tissue-building properties of the
extractives of Gods livers and beef
peptone aid in building up the tired
overworked, rundown system. Clem

TWO RECRUITS GAINED

With two new recruits, one Saturday
and another this morning. making four
for April, the Richmond state became
one Of the best in the state. Charles
A. Weir and Chester A. Jack were the
joiners They come from the rulal
districts near here.
This increase in enlistments is prob
ably due to the extensive advertising
campaign that is being conducted by
Recruiting Sergeant Bond. He has
sent personal letters to every young
man in the district and has placed dis
play matter in many of the towns.

FRENCH TAKING HOLD AGAIN IN
 ALSACE TOWNS
Reconquered Territory Is Abandoning German Ian
 guage for Other.

| With the French Army in Alsace, Dec. 2S.-French has replaced Alsa- tian dialect and German as the lan- guage in that portion of Alsace re- stored to France as the result of French military successes. So soon as the blue-clad soldiers occupied the villages and towns, German signs were torn down from the fronts of the store and replaced by French. Fingerposts along the roads were alt cred and directions at grade cross ings over the railroad tracks were
 changed. Restaurdant bills of fare were written in French instead of German The titles of public offices were painted over and new designa- tions put in their place. Prices also were transformed into francs and centimes from marks and pfennigs.
 Most of the municipal officials un- der German rule were of Prussian or igin and fled with the German troops. The other male nhabitants-most of them very old or very young, as all those of military age had been either taken into the German army or had fled to F'rance-had never had ex- perience of local government and were incapable of undertaking the 'tpublic utilities or caring for the health or sanitary condition of the people, It was found necessary to appoint French administrators and these were chosen from among off cers who had been wounded in the war or who had fallen sick during the campaign. In one locality a military A-aauor was nominated He was 2

BERLIN DEFENDS OBSTRUCTION OF
 NORWEGIAN SHIP
Sinking of Delto With Americans in Crew, Legi-

Berlin, Dec. 2S-The reply of the German government to another of the American inquiries in regard to the steamships sunk by submarines in this instance relating to the de- struction of the Norwegian steamship Delto, with Americans in the crew, declares that the steamship was chartered for transport purposes to belligerent government and hence it's destruction was legitimate.
 This reply which has been deliver ed to the American embassy, says that so far as was possible the safety of the crew was provided for. The men were given half an hour ln which to enter the boats. The weather was clear and the distance to the shore was not excessive.

captain who had lost his right arm in battle. For two years he has car ried out the functions of his off1ce and so successfully that the citizens governed by him declare they have never been more wisely ruled.
 One of the first tasks undertaken was to set again in motion the edu- cational system which had been inter- rupted by the Fhostilities Classes were formed for the children of both sexes and these were placed in the charge of sisters of a religious order which devotes itself to education. There was some difficulty at first ow- ing to the pupils knowing no other language than their local dialect They showed such zeal, however, in acquiring French, that within a Iew weeks the teachers were able to carry on the lessons. When Prince Arthur of Connaught recently visited the classes he was amazed at the change brought about in so short a time.
 French officials and the people of Alsace themselves ascribe the readi- ness of the Alsatians to adopt French ideas and education to the fact that they have in part realized their dream of being rejoined to France. At any rate. it is patent fact that, all though they are still within sound of the German guns. everybody in the reconquered territory at present speaks French. The children at their games on the streets use nothing put French expressions. Workmen and workwomen going to and from the factories and while engaged there rarely-and then only in the case of elderly people who cannot change their lifelong habits-utter a word in anything except French. In the cafes and hotels and in the stores French is everywhere used, while in the churches the sermons are now preached in, Frnnch

Ex-Alderman Griffin
 Dies of Pneumonia

The community will be shocked as
 it learns today of the sad and unex- pected departure of ex-Alderman John M. Griffin to that bourne from whence no traveller returns. MT. Griffin passed away peacefully at his home 602 Grand street, early this morning, surrounded by the many members of his family who were sud- denly called to the bedside as pneu- moniaL from which he was thought to be recovering, took a turn for the worse.
 Born in Fairfield about 40 years ago, MT. Griffin received his educa- tion in the public schools of that town and in Bridgeport. He learned the carpentry trade as a young man and his work was always considered f by him as an art rather than a com mercial enterprise. It is because of this personal touch to all he under took that his name with that of Edwin c. Wheeler, with whom he has been associated under the firm name of Wheeler & Griffin, on Fairview ave- nue. stands bright among the house builders of this city.
 He lived always by the Golden Rule.
 
 with fellow men and accepting the loss of trivial financial matters rather than press to the utmost claims that were legally and morally his. His acquaintance in Bridgeport was broadcast and the esteem in which he was held resulted in his being elected to the common council from the Sixth district for several years. He was always prominent in
 labor matters and was for merly a delegate to. the Central Labor Union. from the Carpenters & Joiners
 of. America. In fraterna1 circles he will
 be mourned deeply by Court Marina, F. of A., of which he was a charter member.
 Surviving him are a widow at the home. 682 Grand street, a father Pat rick Griffin; five sisters, Mrs. Maurice Kiely, Miss Mary Griffin of New York, Louise of New York, Jennie, Lillian and Mrs. Thomas Graham of Bridge port One brother, Joseph, lives in Fairfield

Germany Embarrassed
 By Wilson's Message
 Says London Journal

London, Dec. 28-The Manchester Guardian, taking the point of view that Germany has rejected the pro- poAals smade in the American note, says that President Wilson's sugges- tion, instead of being 'the outcome of a dark German scheme, is so em- barrassing Germany that it is ,evaded altogether in the reply, which recurs instead to the proposal Germany her. self had made, which the allies al- ready had rejected.
