1t Keeps You Well

Your liver acts as a watchdog and helps to keep
your system free from posons and from the diseases
due to selfpoisoning
Your health may depend upon keeping your
liver active.
A purifying medicine is frequently needed, to
stir up your liver into the proper activity induce the
bowels to act freely and purge the system from del
etsrious matter.
Thedford's Black-Draught has been doing this
successfully for many years. and is today one Of the
favorite liver medicines in the South, where liver
medicines are so much used
Prepared from purely vegetable ingredients,
BlackDraught has none Of the bad effects so often
observed from the use of Calomel or other mineral
drugs

The letters had been placed in the

turned them over to Mrs. Conway.
They were addressed to Nell Wright

Mrs. Conway denies that she has

upon a postal inspector if these ex-

COUNCIL PUTS
VETO ON MORE
WAGE INCREASES

Council put its foot down on in
creases in salaries for city employees
at its session last night and the an.
nual salary ordinance, put through
under suspension of rules. provides the
same salaries for 1917 as were paid
last year, with one exception.
Mayor Robbins made an effort to
convince the councilmen of the adyis-
ability of increasing the salary Of the
superintendent Of the municipal elec.
trio plant, Clarence kleinknecht, from
$500 to s2,4O a year but council
could not be budged.
Only One Raise Granted.
The only increase in salary author
lied under the 1917 salary ordinance
advances the pay of the chief engineer
of the municipal plant. Howard Gluys.
from $1,62O a year to S1,S00. the same
salary received by his superior Super.
irtendent kleinknecht.
Every member of the fire depart
ment, with the exception of Chief
Miller but including Assistant Chief
Carter, had petitioned for a salary in
crease of IS per month, but this
petition was ignored.
Council passed motion made by
Councilman White that an investfga.
ton be conducted to ascertain what
salary the plant superintendent was
entitled to, but the fact remains that
it will now be impossible to increase
any salary until next year
Robbins States Opinion.
Mayor Robbins frankly told council
that he believed the manager of half
million dollar enterprise, such as the
municipal plant, was entitled to more
compensation than s1,S00 year, point
ing out that privately operated plants
paid their managers much larger sal
aries.
Councils principal opposition to a
salary advance for Kleinknecht was
based on the fact that council had
been given no opportunity to inquire
into the merits of the case.
Mayor Robbins informed council last
night of the re-appointment Of William
Ey ersman as a member of the board of
police commissioners.

ILiFF ELECTED
CITY CHAIRMAN
BY THE C. 0. P.

After stating that he was not can.
didate for Republican city chairman
and really did not want to continue in
that office but would accept ii in the
event he was reelected, Edgar uifs
was promptly re-appointed to the
position at the organization meeting
OF the Republican city precinct COM
mitteemen at the city hall this after
noon.
In accepting the re-appointment
Chairman Tiff answered the criticism
that because he was supporter OF
DR.. w. w Zimmerman he might be
preiudiced against other mayoralty
candidates.
Il want it to be known that every
candidate for the Republican mayor
atty nomination will get absolutely i'm
partial treatment at my hands" Tiff
said. "When Dr. Zimmerman was
nominated for mayor by the Republic
ans three years ago fought for him
as hard as | could, but in this coming
primary campaign | will show him no
favors that | would not extend to any
other candidate for the nomination.
This has got to be an open, square
fight"
Succeeds Denver Harlan.
W. Howard Brooks was elected city
secretary to succeed Denver Harlan
and Charles Potter. was elected vice
chairman Walter Johnson, who has
been city treasurer. was nominated to
succeed himself but withdrew when
Charles Woodhurst was nominated for
the same office "I'll be glad to turn
the deficit over to another" Johnson
remarked with laugh
Dr. Zimmerman attended the meet
ing and made brief speech. There
was considerable talk indulged in by
the committeeman as to possible can
didates against DR.. Zimmerman for
the mayoralty nomination and the
party workers appeared to take it for
granted that DR.. S. G. Smelser, city
health officer, would enter the con-
test within the next few days.
Committeeman reported several
candidates for nomination
as city clerk, including Hal Robbins,
Clark Thomas, Watson, P. O'Neai.

George Matthews

SOUTH SlOERS
HOPE TO HELP
CITY EXPAND

Construction of boulevard to con-
meet the Main and South G street
bridges was advocated as a worthy
cause for the 'south side Germans
to take up by Mayor Will Robbins at
the South Side Improvement assoc
iation bridge party yesterday after
noon.
Other speakers of the afternoon took
up the idea and advocated that after
the completion of the bridges a beau
tiful drive be constructed through the
river valley extending for distance
Of two miles or more. Landscape art.
lists have said that this could be made
one of the most beautiful drives in the
United States for very little cost.
Doddridae Receives Gift.
About three hundred men attended
the affair which was given as cele-
bration over granting of appropria
tions for the Main and South G street
bridges. Mordecai Doddridge, retir-
ing president of the board of county
commissioners, was presented with a
gold headed umbrella by the associa-
tion. Mr.. Doddridge was unable to
attend because of sickness in his fam
lily. The other commissioners and
members of the county council were
called upon for speeches.
By the Mayor, retiring Prosecutor
Keller, and incoming Prosecutor Stray
er the Germans" of the South Side
were complimented as being Rich
mond's most valuable asset. All three
officials agreed that these boosting
citizens never break the laws of the
state, nation or city.
Cooperation of all citizens for the
upbuilding of the city of Richmond
was urged and a. slogan, 100000 popu-
lation by 1880" was presented for ap-
proval by Gus kennepohl.
Will Keller, who acted as master of
ceremonies, made the point that al
though the South Side improvement
association worked ardently for the
improvement Of the south side its &C
tivities have wider purpose-the up.

Proposes Salary Increase.
Adolph Blickwedel proposed that q
concentrated effort be made to get
the salary for members of the county
council increased. Each member re.

be done through state legislation.

MACKENSoN
HAMMERS AT
EAST FRONT
WITH v|G0R
Only on Roumanian Theatre
Are Armies Active, While
Other Forces Everywhere
Remain Inert.
RUSS FACE DEFEATS

In none Of the important fighting
fronts except the Roumanian are there
more than prefunctory activities by
any OF the belligerents. In the Rou-
manian war theatre, however. the cur
rent reports indicate that some OF the
heaviest blows Of the war are being
struck by Field Marshal Won Macken-
sens army.
The Teutonic attack Is being press.
ed In strong force all along the curv-
Ing front from northern Moldavla to
the Danube. At the latter point the
bridge head protecting Braila on both
sides Of the river are being assaulted
and at last count the Russo-Rouman-
Ian position at Matchin on the Dob.
rudja shore was in process OF being
pressed slightly under the hammer1ng
OF the Bulgarians, Turks and Germans.
New Threat 10 Presented.
What seems to be the more serious
threat to the Russian front, however,
is developing to the northeast where
both the Petrograd and Berlin state
ments show Teutonic progress at var
ious points notably in the direction OF
Fokshani. north of Rinnik-Sarat. near
the southern Moldavian border,
Danger of the western Moldavian
line being rolled up and a retreat
forced is being pointed opt as a result
Of the continuing thrusts at the Russo
Roumania front as 1t curves southeast
ward from the Moldavian mountains
and continues toward the Danube.
The Russian resistance is evidently a
determined one, however, and the
fighting ground has no. yet touched
the line of the Sereth, which has been
picked as the probable position to be
taken up by the Russians for the pro
lection of their southern front ed of
their Bessarabian territory.
On the Tranco-Belgian front, todays
Paris statements mention only skir-
mishes near the Lorraine border,

OPERATION OF CLUBS
IS LAW VIOLATION
SAYS WILL Keller

When William ". Keller relinquish-
ed the office of prosecuting attorney
to Frank T. Strayer yesterday, he
spoke frankly to four wet" clubs and
lodges of the city, where drinks are
served.
You are operating in violation Of
the law" he said. 'You are continuing
custom at the sufferance of the offic-
ials in office and l hope you will not
make it hard for them by taking un-
due advantage of the privilege. | am
leaving office, but presume there
Will be no change. ! have looked upon
clubs as your down town homes. as
long as we have wet city"
He said treating should be stopped
ard every effort should be made to
prevent drunkenness among club mem
bers. Dr. W. w. Zimmerman reiter.
ated the statements of the former
prosecutor and said it is the wives of
club members who must be consider
ed if the clubs desire to continue keep.
ing liquor and beer.
Frank T. Strayer, the new prose-
cutor, said he will take Mr.. Reller's
viewpoint and regard clubs as the
down town homes of members as long
rs they do not indulge excessively.
But / will prosecute to the limit
if have to-" he said. -.

M'KINLEY APPEALS
FOR MORE SUPPORT
FROM MERCHANTS

In his report for the past year,
George Mckinley. weights and meas
ures inspector, food inspector and
Inarketmaster, asks for more cooper
alton on the part of the merchants in
his efforts for strict enforcement OF
the laws pertaining to the handling
Of foodstuffs and the weights and
measures law.
Mckinley states in his report that
more commodities were sold by weight
in Richmond last year than ever be-
fore but he complains that he had in
sufficient support from the merchants
in the performance of his duties.
Housewives Lend Support
The housewives of the city rallied
to Mckinley's support last year in a
most satisfactory manner and Nc
Kinley states that the help he receiv-
ed from this source was invaluable.
A number Of foodstuff dealers in
this city are now selling their com
modities almost exclusively by weight
the report states.
During 1916 there were seven pro-
secutions for violations of the weights
and measures law and eight prosecu-
tions for violations of the food laws
and in each case conviction being
obtained, fines totaling $500 being
paid.
Mckinley inspected 3,S46 weights
and measures last year and made
1,14o food inspections. The receipts
for his otfice totaled s765.25. His
report was one CT the most satisfac-
tory and comprehensive of its kind
ever submitted. - gs--~se-= -,s-
