POSTAL RECEIPTS ARE
AGAIN ENCOURAGING

Postal receipts at the Richmond
postofnce for November showed Z
slight increase over the correspond
ing month Of 1915. Although last
November was record breaking
month, 1t was bettered by &247.l0
during the month just closed.
The receipts for the month just
closed were &81.620.03, while those
OF last November amounted to $751;
572.s3. Considering the fact that last
November was an especially good
month. the increase is a good one.
Customs receipts for the month of
November fell far below those OF
1915. The receipts for the month
just closed were $39.f11.7e. while
those Of the corresponding month in
1918 amounted to $10S.1l7.6s. While
the receipts were unusually small this
month. Collector Smith declared yes

CAROLINA TO DECIDE.
WITHIN SHORT WHILE
Whether Not Annual Game Will Be Played In Richmond
Or At Chapel Hill Next Season Will Be Decided
Shortly, Says Graduate Manager Woollen

Whether or not the Virginia-Carolina
football game will be staged at Broad
Street Park again next season will be
known within the next few days.
Virginia has consented to play the
game here. and It's now up to North
Carolina. When Charles T. Woollen,
graduate manager of the University of
North Carolina. left Richmond yester-
day morning he announced that he

with the athletic authorities Of the
Tarheel institution and give his decis-
ion within the next few days.

day that the decision would have to be
reached by Saturday or else he would
give some other eleven an option on

when 1t was learned by him that

the matter up with the athletic au-
thoriues he agreed to give them more
time
Owing to the strong sentiment Of
the North Carolinians living in Rich.
blond against ire proposed removal OF
the game and the action taken by the
University OF Virginia in agreeing to
again play here, there is a strong prob
ability of 1t being staged at Broad
street Park again next year. The
North Carolina Society of Richmond
Is bitterly opposed to the move and
the members have asked that 1t remain
here.
Those in touch with the situation
feel confident that the game viii re-

From Two Grand Medieines-hood,.

You know that physicians often give
two prescriptions. perhaps more, for
medicines to be taken together, or al

One reason may be that the medi-

desired results cannot be secured by
one medicine alone.
The most successful combination

in Hoods Sarsaparilla and Peptiron
Pills. The former expels impurities
from the blood, creates an appetite
and promotes digestion and natural
