.BONAR LAW is rendered
PLACE BY KING GEORGE

London, Dec. 5.-Premier As
quith has resigned. Official an
nouncement to this effect came
late this evening from the Off
cial press bureau. The news
created the greatest political
sensation in England since the
outbreak of the war. To the
majority of well qualified OBJ
servers it is taken to mean that
Lloyd George has emerged vic
torious from the bitter contest
with the present regime which
eliminated in the present crisis.
1t is expected that Asquith in
announcing his own resignation
in the house of commons to-
morrow morning will alsotender
those of the other ministers.
Lloyd George is expected to be-
come premier.
The Asquith ministery has
collapsed. The prime ministry
has been offered to A. Bonar
Law. All England awaits his
decision tonight. For David
Lloyd George is ready and eag-
err to heed summons for the
King.
Il Mr.. Asquith relinquished his
host when even the English
press conceded that he had tri-
umphed once again in the role
of peacemaker. The pressure
became too great. The task
seemed hopeless. Mr.. Asquith
went to King George and asked
to be relieved. He returned and
placed the prime minister's
commission in the hands of Bon
ar Law.
Then the summons came from
the King and Bonar Law was
formally rendered the oppor-
tunity to form the new minis
try.
When Mr.. Law left the pres
ence of the King he would make
no announcement of his plan.
Tonight there are grave doubts
as to his acceptance. If he were
to decline England, even as she
was forced to turn to Kitchener
at the outbreak of the war,
would be compelled to turn to
Lloyd George.
England tonight is fully awake
to the fact that her whole attl-
tude towards the great war is
in the balance. 1t stands on the
decision of Bonar Law. 1t a
new coalition ministry can be
formed. Bonar Law will do it.
ssThus he will redeem the promise
III the Premier Asquith made in
<commons yesterday, that the
war policy would not be altered.
the construction of the Hudson
Bay Railway will be curtailed.

HIGH COST OF LIVING In
PRODUCED in THE HOUSE

Washington, Dec. 4.-Congress
re-convened today for three
months session with calendar
overcrowded with general legis-
lation facing railroad reforms
and the high cost of living as
new issues and confronted with
unprecedented estimates aggre-
eating $1,654,819,654 to meet
expenditures of the government
for the fiscal year 1918.
Both houses adjourned early
as a mark of respect to the late
Senator Clarke, of Arkansas
and resident Commission Rivers
Of Porto Rico, both of whom
died since the September adj
journment.
Washington, Dec. 4.-The
high cost of living and what
steps the federal government
can take to control it, assumed
PiOpOl OlOlio do q ItlJlOIltt QuGS-
ton with the converting of con-
gress today, and overshadowed
all other issues in the first days
proceedings.
The possibility that Presi-
dent Wilson will deal with the
subject in a special address
grew stronger although it was
thought probable that the Pres
ident would select a separate oc-
casion for it, rather than to add
it as supplement to his gener-
al address tomorrow.
Eleven bills and resolutions,
seeking to check the soaring
prices of food by stopping ship
ments to Europe, reducing par
eel post rates on foodstuffs or
controlling cold storage, were
today introduced in the house.

Plea tor Better Sunday.schools.

To the Sunday-schools in Williams
burg County
| appeal to YOU to awake from
your lethargy, and let's now bestir
ourselves and let's bring every Sun
day-school up to the banner stand
ard. | was at the Interdenominational
Sunday-school convention held in
Charleston and do think it was just
the grandest thing that | have ever
witnessed. Just think, over 100
delegates assembled in convention
to discuss the merits of the Sunday
school work. How / do wish that
every Sunday-school worker in Will
liamshnrg county could have been
there and seen, heard. and felt what
! saw, heard and felt. 1t was the
most soul inspiring occasion it has
ever been my privilege to enjoy.
Notwithstanding all the pleasure
that was afforded me, there was
something that | saw, or didn't see,
that made me feel sad. 1t was not
what | saw that caused this sadness.
| saw the names of fifteen counties
that had reached the standard of
banner counties. Williamsburg was
not in that list. Why? This is the
question want the Sunday-schools
of Williamsburg county to answer.
Is it because those fifteen counties
which have reached this standard
have better Sunday-school material
than Williamsburg? | answer, no!
| venture the assertion that VILLAINS
burg has as good material as any
other county in the State. Williams
burg county must be banner coun-
ty before the year 1916 closes.
Clarendon county which joins Will
liamsburg has passed the standard
set for banner county. and with
Hampton county, has reached the
standard of the Golden Star counties.
Now, why can't Williamsburg do
what Clarendon and Hampton have
done? Simply because we have not
been up and doing. | repeat, let's
awake and get to work. Let's do
things. Old Williamsburg must
come to the front. l want every
member of the Sunday-schooi in
Williamsburg county to ask himself
or herself this question: If every
member of our Sunday-school was

school would our Sunday-school be-"
Now, let's take this for our motto
for 1916: Il arm only one. but | am
one. | cannot 10 everything. but
| can do something; and what | can
do, by the grace of God will do.
Then, when the convention meets II

among the banner couHties. Will
we be satisfied with this? No, let's
not be satisfied til she has reached

SAYS HOT WATER
WASHES POiSONS
FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water
with phosphate in it,
before breakfast.

To feel as fine as the proverbial fid-
die, we must keep the liver washed
clean, almost every morning, to pre-
vent its sponge-hke pores from clog
ging with indigestible material. sour
bile and poisonous toxins, says noted
physician
If you get headaches, it s your liver.
IT You catch cold easily, it IS your liver.
If You wake up with bad taste, fur
red tongue, nasty breath or stom-
ach becomes rancid, it s your liver.
Sailow skin, muddy complexion, watery
eyes, all denote liver uncleanliness.
Your liver is the most important, also
the most abused and neglected organ
of the body. Few know its function or
how to release the dammed-up BODY
waste, bile and toxins. Most folks re-
sort to violent calomel, which is a
dangerous, sahvating chemical which
can only be used occasionally because
1t accumulates in the tissues, also at
taeks the bones.
Every man and woman, sick or
well, should drink each morning before
breakfast, a glass of hot water with a
teaspoonful Of limestone phosphate in
it, to wash from the liver and bowels
the previous days indigestible materi-
al, the pOisons, sour bile and toxins;
thus cleansing, sweetening and freshen-
ing the entire alimentarv canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
Limestone phosphate does not re-
strict the diet like calomel, because ii
can not salivate, for it is harmless and
you can eat anything afterwards. 1t
is inexpensive and almost tastelass, and
any pharmacist will sell YOU q
quarter pound, which is sufficient for a
demonstration Of how hot water and
limestone phosphate cleans, stimulates
and freshens the liver, keeping you
feeling fit day in and day out

GIRLS DO YOU KNOW
Why YOUR HAIR
is UGLY?

Many women 40 not realize the ne
oessity of keeping the hair and scalp
absolutely clean in order to look their
best. And yet with only a few min
utes of tonic massage, the hair may be
brought to a beautiful, thick, lustrous
luXuriance, and that at very little
cost.
just try these few simple directions
today: Into the palm of the hand
pour a little Partisan Sage, a rigidly
guaranteed, Inexpensive and most
beneficial preparation to be had at
any drug store; thoroughly wet the
hair near the scalp with it and then
rub vigorously until a soft tingling
sensation comes stealing over the
head. Do this regularly for a few
days and YOU will surely be surprised
and delighted with the results.
The genuine Partisan Sage is obtain
able from Wilfred T. Root. who al
ways sells it with an absolute guar
antee of perfect satisfaction to the
user or the money paid will be return
