DR.. Isaac Pierce, chairman of the

that the resolution be published:
I'm view of the fact that farmers

are bending utmost efforts to respond
to the appeal of the Government to
increase the supply of food for the

NATIONAL PROHIBITION.

100000 leaves of bread IL day, to be
made into liquors that in no way can
he considered food product or ne
cessity. On the other hand the alec
hol into liquors is much needed in the
manufacture of smokclcss powder
the only kind used in warfare.
1t takes Il barrel OF alcohol TO make
enough powder to fire one big cannon
shot. In war we can do without iiq-
uors but we can't do without powder
We need not close the distillcrlcs, IN
fact these should be largely increas-
ed and the denaturcd alcohol should
make ii possible to easily utilize the
waste farm products in the manufac-
ture Of alcohol. Alcohol is necessity
IN mechanics, arts and sciences, and
should be available for running autos
and gas engines, so there need be no
closing OF distilleries but IT,; use as a
drink should be prohibited
If we get prohibition as IL war
measure we are again compensated
for the cost Of war

Gods promises are true and stead

first chapter that if We are obcdicut

is fun of similar warnings.
For fifty years our people have en-

many other modern inventions that
first made their appearance in TaHc-
well; and yet consider the telephone,
wireless tclegraphy, electric lights,

THIS WAR.

This war has appeared To us all
along as catastrophe three thousand
miles away-something we had little
or nothing to do with. The newspa-
per stories and accounts of what was
taking place in Europe, seemed hazy
and afar off-too far away to ever
affect us in this quiet, rural county.
When the call came for the mobili-
cation of United States troops and
the registration of all men available
for service, we still had an idea that
some how OF i'll some way, it would all
blow over and we would not be called
upon to take an active part.
But, the turn of the wheel has
brought, and is bringing still. the
realities of the situation home to us.
Our boys are actually already in the
service. To give our money is an
easy thing to do, and requires little
or no sacrifice
To give our boys is quite another
proposition and emphasizes the I'M
pleasant fact that this great war is
actually upon us, and a personal mat
ter.
Better that one man should die
than that a whole nation should per-
ish." These boys who are going to
the front by the thousands are offering
themselves in vicarious sacrifice for
the good Of on-coming generations
dying that others may live, and their
blood will be Il badge of everlasting
and immortal honor upon the lintcs
of the door posts of the homes from
which they go.
The boys are going willingly. They
are not slackcrs, lodging in the bush
es, or hiding behind manufactured or
imaginary subterfuges, bringing dis
grace thereby upon themselves and
the mother who bore them. and the
country which has nourishcd them.
Good luck to these Virginia and
American boys! We believe they will
all come back after the victory is
won. So we all hope and pray!

DAVIS DON'T FAVOR NATIONAL
PROHIBITION.
(Times Distpatch.)

Westmorcland Davis, candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Gov
crnor i'm the August primary, yester-
day refused to pledge himself to the
support of prohibition amendment
to the Constitution, sayin, in reply
TO an inquiry from the headquarters
committee of the Anti saloon League
of Virginia, that, as much as he de-
sires election as Governor of Virginia
h. is unwilling to seek it at the price
of plcdging himself in advance upon
50 grave q question, upon which ex-
ecutivc conclusion should be had on
~ after conference, mature dclibcr-
alton and public discussion.
Mr.. Davis's attitude toward this
question is directly contrary to that
of both John Garland Pollard and J.
Taylor Ellyson. who. in their plat
form addresses, declared unequivo-
cally for constitutional prohibition.
The platform on which Mr.. Pollard
is running was made public before
the Anti-Saloon League propounded
the question. Mr.. Ellyson made
known his attitude only few DAYS
ago, in an address at Boydton, Meek
lenburg county.
Replying generally to the qustions
of the league, Mr.. Davis quotes Il let
tor written by him several weeks ago
to c. ID. Quisenbcrrv. president of the

ty.

RALLY TO THE RED CROSS.

AT this writing we do not know
what Tazewell has done in this Red
Cross campaign. That the county
will do its part is confidently belicv-
ed. Consecrated and intelligent wom-
en- are busy organizing the forces of
the county in every community and
are meeting with hearty encourage
ment. The Red Cross has been term
ed, "The Second Army. The Army Be
hind the Lines" The work the or
ganization is doing is absolutely ne
cessary if the war is to be won. Hun
dreds of thousands of lives are saved
through hospital and on the field by
these unselfish workers. Our own
home boys will need the skilfull and
gentle care Of the Red Cross on the
battlefelds of France and perhaps ON
our own soil We provide, irrespcc-
tive of cost the best nurses to sup
plement the work of the best physic-
ians, when there is serious illness in
our homes. 1t would be criminal not
to do so. Should not we wish and de-
termine, rs far as we are able, to do
the same for our boys who will bleed
on battlefields or anguish in hospt-
ais far from home? Money alone
can supply the needs. Good wishes
patriotic speeches, etc, are all good
but not sufficient. Rally to the sup
port of the Red Cross, for the sake
OF your own or some other Virginia
boys.

This is mild form of Indigestion.
1t is usually brought on by eating too
rapidly or too much, or food not suit
ed to your digestive organs. If you
eat solwly, masticate your food thor

at all for supper, you will more than
likely avoid the sour stomach without
