The history of jersey cloth could
not be written in one chapter. Its in
PRODUCTION was not taken seriously, but
its persistence has caused it to be re-
garded with Importance.
1t is quite useless to attempt to de-
scribe the spring fashions without
starting from jersey, Incorporating it
in the middle and ending up with it.
1t has ceased to be novelty. 1t has
become a standard fabric. 1t is so
strongly, and disagreeably, like GER
tain well-advertised brands of Ameri-
can wooden for mems underwear, that
one feels partially undressed when
wearing it. Its slender surface,
which tantalized the economical wOm-
en- and was the delight of the extrava-
CANT woman, appears to have been
relegated to the limbo of things that
were.
The weave that does not indicate
by its appearance that it was ever in

There is French quality that cannot
be duplicated in this country, the
dressmakers say, and the woman who
orders a suit or frock of it pays a
good fat price for it, with the salts.

BOSCKEES GERMAN
SYRUP
A Valued Household Remedy for
Over Half a Century.

In our climate, with it's sudden
changes of temperature rain, wind and
sunshine often intermingled in a single
day, it is no wonder that our children,
friends and relatives are so frequently
taken from us by neglected colds, many
deaths resulting from this cause. A
bottle of BOschee's German Syrup kept
in the house, and a few doses taken in
time, will possibly prevent severe ILL.,
ness, a doctors bill, and perhaps death.
For fifty years this has been very
successful remedy for coughs, colds,
throat or lung troubles. 1t induces a
good nights sleep with easy expec-
toration in the morning. For sale by

Amazing Success Of Jersey Cloth.
At the moment, it looks as though
the manufacturers have thought bet
ter than the public. Jersey not only
rivals serge in the spring clothes, but
runs ahead of it. Even the importers
in this country were surprised when
the packers opened the enormous
boxes which came over on the French
steamers from Bordeaux and lifted
gown after gown, suit after suit and
coat after coat of jersey. There was
no silk jersey there; all the apparel
was made of this new and prevailing
weave which has an unfinished, inele-
CANT appearance.
One has feeling that the exigen-
cies of war have made women get
hold of all the mems undershirts they
could find, dip them in the dye pot, put
belt around them and use them with
a plated skirt.
The one feeling of encouragement
that the American importers have had
about the abundance of jersey cloth

CANNOT BRING LIQUOR
All Doubt as to "Bone-Dry' Law
Set at Rest By Ruling of the De-
partment of Justice.

Striking death blow to the liquor
traffic by making it virtually impos-
sible to transport liquor into dry
territory under any conditions, the
United States Department OF JUS
tice. in an opinion upon the provls-
ions of the "bone-dry" rider to the
postoffice appropriation bill prohlbl-
ting the shipment of liquor into a
"dry". State. held yesterday that an
individual cannot transport liquor
into such commonwealth. either in
his personal baggage or on his per-
son, for any purpose.
All doubt as to what construction
would be placed by Federal authori-
ties upon this question, since it was
the only one in which there was any
cloud as to the object Of the law, was
set at rest with the departments rul-
ing. Prohibition supporters last
night believed that this decision was
one of the. most important steps
taken in prohibition matters in
months.
This ruling, notification of which
was received IN Richmond late yes
terday afternoon by Rev. J. Sidney
Peters, Commissioner of Prohibition.
affects not only Virginia, but also
twenty-five other States of the coun-
try which became "drier" on July l,
under the terms of the "bone-dry"
rider. These States prior to that
time had been listed in the prohibi-
tion column, but in many instances
their laws were lenient to a more or
less degree, and only became "dry"
in a true sense with the operation
of the Federal act.
Liquor can now be transported
from a nonprohibition State into
Virginia, or any of the. other twenty
two States affected, only by common
carriers, and then only in limited
quantity. The Federal measure pro-
vides that liquor, Wine or other intox-
icants can only be shipped into
"dry" State for medicinal, mechani-
cal, sacramentel or scientific pur-
poses.

One of the probation officers OF

UNIVERSITY WILL. OPEN.
The War. VIII Not Change Program
for Next Fall.

University, Va, July 1.-THE
question uppermost in tie mind cf
every college man is will there
be any University next year, and
if so, shall ] attend?"
That there will he n University

cfs every man to continue his circa
tion in so far as he is able is poiH
ed out by the Deans Of the various
departments. at the University cf
Virginia.
Dr.. J. NJ. Page, Dean of the Col
lege, reports that the prospects fOr
a good attendance for next session,
Judging by the number Of certificates
of PREF ara!Icn being received in
his Office, are very bright. Pe
says:
"The number of certificates re-
ccivcd to date is considerably III
excess of the number receiTel ~
tho same Ia.e last session. Of
course. this c9rcerns new students
only. 1t is certain that there XII
be a falling off n the attendance Of
old students, particularly in The
Law school. However, if the present
indications prove trustworthy, the
attendance in new students next
session will go very far towards
making up for the anticipated loss
in old students.
military training for all stu
dents in the University is proving
to be Il very attractive feature:
quite a number of letters have
been received in the administrative
offices approving of the Univerzity's
having installed military tr2inng,
so that the young men in attendance
may prepare themselves to enter The
government service as officers if
they are called upon after they have
reached military age. There is no
question about the fact that tho best
way for a young man. under r7ilt-
tary age. to prepare himself to
serve his country, is to continue his
education IN some standard institu-
ton Of learning. which also provides
military training, as does the Uni
vcrsitv of Virginia"
