BIG BLAZE AT R0SSLYN
Plant of the Gas Company al that
Place Believed to be Doomed to
Total Destruction.

Word was received in this city
shortly after noon today stating that
a great confagration was raging at
Rosslyn. at the south end of the
Auucduct Bridge in Alexandria
county.
lit was later learned that
it WAS the plant of the
Rosslyn Gas Company, and
that the fire had ragged an hour and
half 1t was still beyond control
1T half-past one o'clock.
The local apparatus could d"
out little against such fire, and as
soon as possible several steam en-
rines from Washington reached the
scene.
Fortunately only mild breezcs
prevailed. and the fire apparatus
will. it is thought, confne the fire to
the structure in which it originated.
The plant, however, it is feared will
be entirely destroyed
Some Alexandria tircmcH wn2n

mustered out it did rot resume its

order of the governor it was, along
with the othei' two regiments, re-
quired to take a number consecutive

ganizations since the foundation OF

nation of the 72nd. The First became
the list, and the Fourth the 14th. In
1908, however. Governor Swanson or

numbers, whereby the Second came

TROUBLES
Diseases, Other Than
Consumption, Will Slay 1850 in
Next Three Months. it is Claimed.

| Richmond. Va, Jan. 4. (SpeciaD.
During the next three months. ac-
cording to the State Board OF Health,
respiratory diseases other than con-
sumption will cause approximately IS
deaths daily in Virginia and the
white plague" will BE- responsible
for Approximately 1000 more. And
al of these, declares the board, are
prevcntablc through simple precau-
tions.
Basing its figures on the mortality
for 1914, and 1915. the board esti-
mates as probable a total Of about
1000 deaths during January, Feb
ruary. and March. from whooping-
cough, influenza. bronchitis, pncu-
monia tuberculosis OF the lungs, es-
timated on the same basis, will prob
ably claim two-thirds as many vic
tims as the other respiratory diseases
combined.
For every hour the clock strikes
the hour between now and April ~
says today's bulletin of the State
Board Of Health "one person vii! die
of one or another of these diseases
and every sixth hour. two persons
will die"
Some of these fatal ailments have
already been contracted and are now
past cure, but most Of them will bc
contracted or can ne prevented during
The coming weeks. Almost without
exception. the respiratory diseases
which are more fatal during these
three months than 1t any other time
of the year. are the result Of care
lesSness and neglect. Most of them
Mill be directly traceable to contact
With sonic person suffering from one
or another o. these diseases or to con
tact with something soiled by a per
son who has q respilatorT disease.
'.Just as the worst diseases OF Tie
summer are carried by filth. so the
most serious diseases of winter are
carried by spit and spray from the
nouth OF those who cough, sneezc or
spit carc!cssIy. This is the reason
health officers are laying so much en-
pkasis OF covering The mouth and
nose with handkerchief (or bown@
the head when one is forced to
snccZc.
Much of the exposure that leads
10 colds. influenza. bronchitis and
pneumonia is attributable TO impr0p-
er clothing" Most people keep so hot
indoors that thcir bodies are chilled
when they 90 out of doors The safe
rule i: not 10 stay in ovcrheatcd
rooms. but 10 sleep with the windows
open and to put on extra clothing
when going cut in the cold. An over
coat is AN enemy Of disease.
The germs Of these diseases can
only enter The body through the
mouth and nosc--that is the import
ant rule to remember in dealing
with them. TO keep away from per-
sons who spread the germs of these
ills is a very important step in pre-
vcrtion."

HAVE DARK HAIR
and LOOK YOUNG
Don't Stay Gray! Nobody Can Tell
When You Darken Gray, Faded
Hair with Sage Tea
and Sulphur.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with brew of Sage Tea and Sdl-
phur. Whenever her hair took on
that dull, faded or streAked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. By asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" you will get
a large bottle of this oid-time recipe,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, all ready to use, for about
50 cents. This simple mixture can
be depended dpon to restore natural
color and beauty to the lair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens SO naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied
it's so easy to use, too. You simply
dampen a comb or soft brush and
draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at time. By morning the
gray hair disappears; after another
application or two, IL is restored to
its natural color and looks glossy, soft,
and beautiful. This preparation is a
delightful toilet requisite. 1t is not
intended for the cure, mitigation or
prevention of disease.-Adv.

BRAzILIANS TACKLE
HIGH Living COST
Measure to Prohibit Cereal Exports
Meets Strong Opposition.

Brazil, beset in common with other
countries by the high cost of living.
is considering many measures TO bet
ter conditions.
Strong opposition has developed to
the proposed restriction or prohibit
ton of cereal exports introduced in
the chamber Of deputies by DR.. Bar
bosa Lima, secretary of the finance
committee OF the chamber.
DR.. Vieira Souto, a noted economist
and a deputy, strongly opposed the
measure before the National Cereals
Conference, recently at Corytiba, ac-
cording to advices received here.
Those who seek such action do
not reflect that it were a deed OF
selfishness." DR.. Souto said. They
do not reflect that such a procedure
would compel us to turn a deaf ear
to the appeal of the North American
Union for our cooperation in the re-
lief work which il is performing,
also with immense sacrifice, for the
most Of living in that country is now
extremely high-higher even than
among US.
They do not reflect that such an
act Of egotism would deal a death
blow to, and provoke the indigna-
ton Of our farmers"
DR.. Souto advocated strong laws
for the punishment of profiteers and
the establishment OF municipal mar
kets. competing with private concerns.
to lower the cost Of the necessaries.
