GREAT BRTralN's NOTE.
,r,;,ed States ofasials Gratised
Over Endorsement OF Wilson.

There probably will be no separate
reply to Great Britain's supplement
tai note to President Wilson regard
ing peace, delivered to the State
Department Wednesday. Officials OF
the administration frankly are graft
fed ever the tone Of the communi
cation. and construe it as an indorse-
ment of the Presidents suggestion OF
a world league for peace, but no Tor
NAL statement on the subject is con-
sidered necessary at this time, and
it has not been decided what shall
he the next move on the part OF the
United States.
The reference in the British note
to the necessity for some form OF IN
terIational sanction behind treaty
> preements and international law
drew from German sources in Wash
ington yesterday an authoritative
statement that Germany under no
consideration would enter a league
to preserve peace if she should
emerge from the war much more
greatly damaged than her enemies.
The central powers were repre-
scented as believing that the prope-
sal to establish such league at the
end of this war cannot be realized II
the ultimate result of the conflict
lis such as to permit completely Vie:
torious set of belligerents ito impose
its :own terms upon the vanauished.
Germany, it is said, in making II
clear that she stood ready TO enter
into league, presupposed tiiht the
present val. would result in peace
which all parties concerned; would
consider sjust and fair, -wirien -would
not be the case if the entente ever
should be in position to impose as
terms the objects stated il. It's note

ECHO OF HALF CENTURY AGO

H = Z J. = 81. -
\ Richmond contemporary almost
daily reprints extracts from its files
Of fifty. years ago. Among its clip
pings yesterday was the following
"The Rev.yJ. W. Hunnicutt and
John Minor Bolts are in Alexandria
at. the residence of Lewis Mckenzie,
where several conferences have been
held with other men of their kind:
Just what devilnient is now up it
remains to be SEEN"
The devilment suggested was the
perfection of plans to- hold con-
vention in Alexandria. 1t was to be

rcnegades, OF natives of Virginia
who had consorted with union people
during the four years war.
The convention was held in, the
, upper story of the postoffice build
ing. but it was suggestive Of the tail
ors Of Tooley street. John Minor
Bolts. who had been a member of
Congress and who adhered to the
union cause during the prevalence
of hostiiities, was the moving spirit
Of the assemblage. The proceedings
amounted to nothing, as might have
been expected, most people being
tired of war and tired of the issues
which brought it on. The convention
had no effect whatever on prevailing
conditions. Alexandria, like other
Virginia cities. had been, governed
by people not the choice of the ana
tives while the city was under mill
tary government and in. 1866, when
the first city elections. after the close

That is what they all say regard
ing Pablo, the new non-aicoholc
beverage we are now offering to the
trade.
Pablo is an unfermented beverage
does not contain malt and is abso-
lutely non-alcoholic. 1t is not a
ncar-beer and should not he
confused with the many so-calied
temperance drinks now being marx
eted that are really nothing more
than fcrnented malt beverages, with
a percentage Of the alcohol extract
ed. the sale of which is liable to be
accompanied by risk Of prosecution.
Wherever Pablo has been intro

to be a. good rfpeater. AS compared
with other soft drinks, Pablo is in
class by itsclf--a drink with char
actcr and snap to it. 1t is of 4

pleasing hop tang that is Il never

+ The eggs usually are turned for
the first time at the end of the
second day and twice daily thru
the eighte enth or nineteenth day.
The eggs are cooled outside the
Matching chamber once daily after
the seventh ard up to the nine
teenth day. Moisture should be
furnished in artificial incubation
in the South, in high attitudes,
and when the incubator room is
dry. This may be done by sprink-
ling the eggs with warm water or
by placing a wet sponge or pan of
water under the egg tray.
During the Matching period care
fully fill the lamp and trim the
wick each day. 1t is best to trim
the wick by scraping off the
burnt portion rather than by cut
ting the wick. The lamp should
not be filled entirely. After the
lamp is filled it should be closely
observed for a time to make sure
that the flame does not get too
high.

RAILROAD CONGESTION

A worth while suggestion is made
by the Wheeling Register in the fol-
lowing, a suggestion that has been
carried into effect with marked bene-
fit by many of the nations Of Europe:
While the railroads are searching
for methods by which to relieve the
car shortage and get shipments for
fuel and foodstuffs east, why does
not congress ascertain how the rail-
roads became SO congested.
If such action is taken it will be
found that the congestion has result
ed because the railroads accepted any
and all quantities of shipments in
order to keep abreast of competition
and shippers insisted that railroads
take the same in order to beat their
competition to various points of de-
livery.
Yet in the face of this railtoad
congestion, which is playing havoc
with the nations business and help
ing food prices remain as high as
they are or advance still higher, the
nations great chain of waterways

the millions the government has

HEALTH HINTS

Food we put into our bodies three
times a day serves much the same
function as the coal shoveled into an
engine.
1t furnishes the energy for all OF
the movements of the body and its
parts. and it furnishes the heat to
keep the body warm. In winter when
great deal more heat must be form
ed, sufficient diet is especially i'm
portant.
People would not feel so run down
in the spring if they had cultivated
proper food habits during the cold
months.
Here are a number of meal-time
maxims that will help keep one we'll:
Come to meals with clean
hands. 2-Eat your meals with good
cheer. Worry and grief retard the
digestive processes,
3-Avoid extremes of temperature
in eating. Do not take food and
drink too cold or too hot. Ice water
if drunk at all, should be drunk be-
fore the meal
Eat bread and raw vegetables
at the beginning of the meal-these
stimulate the flow of gastric juices.
5-Chew your food thoroughly
your stomach has no teeth. Do not
wash down unchewed food with tea,
coffee or other drinks.
6-Do not eat to excess. Normal
ly, your APPETITE should be an index
to your wants.
APPETITE and relish are import
ant factors in promoting the flow Of
gastric juice so food should be pre-
pared and served in an apetizing
manner.
8-Do not eat meat, eggs or other
protein foods in excess.
9-Ifyou have feeling of distress
or fullness after a meal your diet OF
manner of eating needs regulation
10-Do not engage in excessive
physical or mental exertion immedi-
ately before full meal.
