A Tribute to the Unafraid.

! cannot help but love the way
In which the gallant Germans pay
The price in blood.
From cup which takes such stress to fill.
The nations hearts-blood they do spill!
In splendid flood
They heed no cost in death or pain
If by their valor they may gain
A foot of ground
Each soldier sets his steady face.
And dies content if but his place
In front be found.
With all my heart / hope defeat
May trip at last their charging feet.
May break their blade
And vet | drink a silent toast
To that onrushing, mighty host

French airmen have attacked Ger

TUESDAY,.

Private dispatches from Berlin say
Germany will renew to the United
States her pledges that non-resisting
passenger vessels will not be sunk by
submarines without warning, unless
the ships are armed.
German troops have captured
French trenches on a S7O-yard front
east of Souchez. Paris says the Ger.
man attack was made by 1000 men
and was accompanied by heavy los :.
Artillery activity is reported from Yer
dun and the Champagne region.
The Zeppelin LIT was brought to
earth by the French, 125 miles north
east of Paris while on its way to at
tack the French capital, and thirty
men aboard it were killed in the fall.
Russian troops are advancing on a
2O0-mile front in the Caucasus regi n

why % Anuric" Is am
IN S u r A N G e
Against Sudden Death.

Before an Insurance Company will
take risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and report
whether you are a good risk. When
your kidneys get sluggish and clog,
you suffer from backache, sick-head-
ache, dizzy spells, or the twinges and
pains of lumbago, rheumatism and
govt. The urine is often cloudy, full
of sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times a night. This is the time you
should consult some physician of wide
experience--such as DR.. Pierce of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y. Send him 10 cents for
sample package of his new discovery,
uAnuric." Write him your symptoms
and send sample of urine for test.
Experience has taught DR.. Pierce that
wAnuric" is the most powerful agent
in dissolving uric acid, as hot water
meits sugar; besides being absolutely
harmless it is endowed with other
properties, for it preserves the kidneys
IN a healthy condition by thoroughly
cleansing them. Being 30 many times
more active than lithia, it clears the
heart valves of any sandy substances
which may clog them and checks the
degeneration of the blood vessels, as
well as regulating blood pressure:
vAnuricn is a regular insurance and
life-sayer for all bigmeat eaters and those
who deposit Gme-salts in their joints.

JUST BEFORE THE PLUNGE
Frank Confession Of One Regarded
as About to Be Made Happy
for Life.

Following Is an extract from
bridegroom's frank confession:
Here I was on the verge Of real
izing the thing that had wanted most
for over a year; and suddenly I found,
to my utter amazement, that / didn't
want it.
Il was disguised with myself, l be.
rated myself roundly for a cad and a
coward, but I could not change the
feeling. With the drowning mans piano.
ramic eye l saw all the choicest mo-
ments of my bachelor days. I remem.
bered the gay, irresponsible times that
my best man and I had had together.
That was pretty good life, after all,
that we had led. Our old bachelor
apartment was a good old place, I
thought to myself
And I was leaving it! had always
heard that folks with curly hair were
tickle, and had dismissed the saying as
idle, superstitious chatter. Now it
flashed upon me that my hair is cur
ly; l knew in terrible instant that
the saying was true. My hair was
curly! I was tickle; here was the
first evidence Of it. l was on the edge
of my marriage, and I didn't want to
marry.
Suppose the cursed weakness, my
fickleness, were to follow me through
life. Suppose were to find that my
love was not strong enough. l was
twenty-five; we would probably be
married 40 years! Forty years-the
thought staggered me.
People had said that they never
knew man who priced his independ-
ence more than I. It came over mo
now Of a sudden than in IL hours
would no longer have any independ-
ence. Tomorrow morning and tomor-
row and tomorrow, for 40 years,
would have to make every deci-
sion not on the basis Of what I wanted
to do do, but Of what we wanted to do.
"ITor 40 years, would never be able
to go anywhere, do anything, meet
anybody without girl on my arm.
The sweetest, loveliest girl in the
world, to be sure-but still girl. To-
morrow / would be married, and the
day after tomorrow, and the world
without end-"-Woman's Home Com
panion.

Merchants License Tax

The recommendation of Cover
nor Stuart IS to merchants license
tex, contained in a message deliv-
cred in person before the General
Assembly on February Is, seems to
have been widely misunderstood.
In this message Governor Stuart
recommended IA uniform rate of
twenty cents on the hundred dol
lars applicable to all purchases
above two thousand dollars with
out regard to amount.
If this suggestion is adopted, the
rate on all merchants whose pur-
chases are more than two thousand
dollars and less than one hundred
thousand dollars, will remain at
twenty cents on the hundred dol
lars,~ exactly as it is now. Mer-
chants whose purchases are more
than one hundred thousand dollars
will be raised from the present
favored rate of ten cents on the
hundred dollars to twenty cents,
so that the big merchant will be
taxed for the first time at the same
rate AS small merchants. In this
message Governor Stuart used the
following language Il here repeat
the opinion, which I urged when
the merchants license tax was fix
ed in the segregation lazy, that
there is no good rea on why pur-
chases in large amounts should en-
jov lowered license tax"
The Governor also recommended
that the local tax on all merchants
capital be reduced to a rate not
exceeding ninety-6ve cents on the
hundred dollars of such capital
which would give great relief to
merchants who are now taxed on
the face value of their capital at
the full amount of the State and
local rate applicable to other prop
erty, much of which is under as
sessed.

Wireless Possibilities.

With the advent of wireless tele-
phony it seems not improbable that in
the near future we will all be carry
ing about our persons small pocket
apparatus with which we can step in
to any quiet corner, call up central
and ask to be connected with any de-
sired point. This seems to be the next
logical step, considering the fact that
wireless talk has been held with
Hawaii and Paris. What a cinch it
will be for the married man who has
fallen in with a congenial bunch. He
can take out his instrument. call up
WHEY and tell her that polished story
about being detained at the Office or
kept downtown by an out-of-town GUS
toner. Fine business. But If WHEY
is wise she will not ring off on the
attuned circuit. BY keeping her ear
to the receiver she can hear all that
is said, and in the morning, when hub
by feels his worst, tell him what has
been on her mind all night. And if an
affinity happens to be with him-well,
there will be more work for the d.
vorce courts.

MONTEREY, Va, MARCH 3. 1916

The authoritative statement
that Bath county has determined
to place convict force on the
road between Warn Springs and
the Highland line and make it q
modern highway, changing much
of the location, ETC., is of big in
terest to this county. Whether il
be the prime motive or not, the
construction of a good road up the
Jackson's river valley will be a
strong bid for tourist travel and .
boost for the famous Bath county
resorts. 1t is we'll known that,
even with present road condition.,
many northern people take the
South Branch valley and Jackson 9
river route to the Hot land the elm
ination of Rocky Ridge and other
bugaboos would add greatly to the
popularity of the route.
From the Bath line northward it
would require but few changes in
location and a limited amount OF
work to bring the road into favor,
at least as for as Monterey, because
that section is regarded as one of
the best summer driveways in the
county, several miles of it being
graveled. AS to the sand beds,
hills and short kinks north Of town,
they are a reflection on the county
any how, and if we would do just
what local needs and demands re-
quire, we would incidentally be CO.
operating with our neighbor coun-
ty in making the Cumberianc~

route a popular and inviting one
