NO PROCLAMAT|ONS BY

Feel That Call by President Wilson for

Is Sufficient.

of the United States. and the act of

as relief days in the United States for
Armenian and Syrian sufferers, TO be
sufficient notice to American people.
Governor Stuart will issue no similar
proclamation to Virginians.
Governor Stuart feels that Virgin
ians will respond to the call for con-
tributions to relieve the sufferings of
the Armenians and of the Syrians, who
have been sadly afflicted by reason of
the world upheaval, just as literally
after reading the plea of the President
as they would were he to issue pro-
clamation. The sympathy of the Gov
ernor is with this movement as with
all others for the relief of suffering
and for the broadening of the spirit
that prompts humanity to be humane.

ian and Syrian relief in New York,

Holders of stock in corporations

being made that as stockholders they

DR. NJ Milton Talkin's success Is
based principally upon the employ
ment of common sense methods in
his diagnosis and treatment. He never
seeks to tit symptoms to rare theo-
retical diseases His long experience
with chronic and long-standing trou-
bles has taught him the value OF
avoiding the common mistake of
searching for SOME new, high sound
ing disease to fiji symptoms, but ratne-
10 apply them where they naturally
belong.
No matter what your trouble may

treated you without relief, you owe
it to yourself and the dear ones about
you TO at least consult with this WE'LL

TO receive his best, most conscientious
attention: none so wealthy that better,
more scientific services could be had.
