WARNING TO PROSPECTIVE
STOCK BUYERS.
The Governors Office, Richmond,
Va, December Ia, 1917.
70 the People of Virginia:


70 the People of Virginia:
In view of the active and aggress-
i've campaign now being conducted in
Virginia by irresponsible agents for
the sale of worthless or questionable
stock in various companies, deem it
my official duty to sound a note of
warning and to call attention to the
fact that Virginia is the victim of
such agents largely because she is one
OF the few States that has not so far
passed n law for the punishment of
the class of offenders mentioned, and
specific protection of investors against
such INSCRIPTIONS undertakings. With
good financial returns from the years
business, it is not surprising that
many citizens are being urged by
oily tOngued and highly trained sales
mn to invest in every conceivable
scheme that can be devised to scpa-
rate the people from their hard earn
ings.
Heavy drafts have already been
made, not only upon accumulated
surplus but in many cases on antici-
pated earnings.
In addition to considerations of
prudence, would suggest that while
legitimate enterprises or industries,
especially such as lend themselves to
preparedness for war should be duly
encouraged, it is none the less true
that immediate and future needs of
our country are and will be such as
to absorb on safe and reasonably
profitable terms the great bulk of the
organized surplus capital in our midst.
Conservation should not be confined
to food and fuel, but should be ex-
tended to all our resources, including
money.
HENRY C: STUART,
Governor.

He finally got the permit, but a

Cass arrived. She came to camp from
Baltimore to surprise him.
1t was ten o'clock Thanksgiving
night before private Cass returned to

VIEWPOINT OF pIsTILLER.

Since the introduction Of anti-whis
ky legislative measures the love of the
distiller for his brother, the brewer,
has grown cold. The following is
sample Of what the whisky men are
saying:
Until recent years. at least. 1t was
the custom Of Milwaukee parents to
take their children into the various Beer
gardens Of the Cream City and fill
their little stomachs with 'suds.' The
high degree Of intelligence portrayed
in these beer faces would not have
brought forth envy on the part of Plato
or Homer. We recall the time when
the employees Of one of the large MIL
waukee breweries threatened to strike
because their daily allowance Of beer
was to be cut from four gallons to two
gallons. 1t would thus be seen that
there must be something. about beer
that perpetuates the thirst. But. at
the same time, It is admitted by the
brewers that beer is genuine tenn
perance' drink"

and poker were still unknown. But
one day Nolan had his revenge. This
time Burr came down the river, not as
an attorney seeking a place for his
Office, but as disguised conqueror.
He had defeated know not how many
district attorneys; he had dined at ]
know not how many public dinners he
had been heralded In l know not how
many Weekly Arguses; and it was ru-
mored that he had an army behind him
and an empire before him. 1t was q
great day-his arrival-to poor Nolan.
Burr had not been at the fort an hour
before he sent for him. That evening
he asked Nolan to take him out in his
skiff, to show him a cane-brake or a
cottonwood tree, as he said, really to
seduce him; and by the time the sail
was over, Nolan was enlisted body and
soul. From that time, though he did
not yet know 1t, he lived as "A Man
without a Country"
What Burr meant to do know no
more than you, dear reader. 1t is none
of our business just now. Only, when
the grand catastrophe came, and JEFF
ferson and the House of Virginia of
that day undertook to break on the
wheel all the possible Clarences Of the
then House Of York, by the great
treason trial at Richmond. some of the
lesser fry in that distant Mississippi
valley, which was farther from us than
Puget Sound is today, introduced the
like novelty on their provincial stage,
and, to while away the monotony Of
the summer at Fort Adams, got up, for
spectacles, string of court-martials
ON the officers there. One and anoth-
er of the colonies and majors were
tried, and, to I'LL out the list, little No
Ian, against whom, heaven knows,
there was evidence enough, that he
was sick of the service, had been will
ing to be false to 1t, and would have
obeyed any order to march anywhither
with anyone who would follow him,
had the order only been signed, "By
command of His Exc. A. Burr" The
courts dragged on. The big flies es-
capped, rightly for all know. Nolan
was proved guilty enough, as say !;
yet you and would never have heard
of him, reader, but that, when the
president Of the court asked him at the

thing to show that he had always been
faithful to the United States, he cried
out, In fit of frenzy
Oh the United States I wish
1 may never hear Of the United States

1 suppose he did not know how the
who was holding the court. Half the
officers who sat in 1t had served
through the Revolution, and their
lives, not to say their necks. had been
risked for the very idea which he so
cavalierly cursed in his madness. He,
on his part. had grown up in the West
of those days, In the midst Of Spanish
plot" "Orleans plot" and all the rest.
His education, such as 1t was, had
been perfected in commercial expedi-
lions to Vera Cruz. and think he told
me his father once hired an English
man to be private tutor for winter
on the plantation. He had spent half
his youth with an older brother, hunt
ing horses In Texas: and, in word, to
him "United States" was scarcely a
reality. Yet he had been fed by unit
ed States" for all the years since he
had been in the army. He had sworn
ION his faith as a Christian to be true to
UNITED States" It was "United
States" which gave him the uniform he
wore, and the sword by his side. Nay,

Whales.

Whales are able to attain such an
enormous size because their bodies are
supported by the water in which they
live. A bird is limited to the weight
which its wings can bear up In the air.

DOCTORS AGAINST ALCOHOL.

II shall not soon forget the shock
experienced when a physician of high
standing in Michigan confessed to me
that time and time again he had killed
patients by the use Of acohol while
still under the old delusion that aico-
hol was a stimulant," says Mr.. Henry
Stauffer, superintendent Of the Fox
River Valley Efficiency league. "The
common sense of mankind rightly con-
dones the practice Of this man be-
cause he did the best he and the pro-
fession knew ut the time; but the
time of ignorance on this subject is
past"
Mr.. Stauffer sent an open letter to
the physicians In his state, asking this
question: knowing what you must
know of the tragedy of alcohol, how
can you for single day lend the In
fiuence of your example to it's use as
beverage In your community. AS a
result, Ill doctors willingly signed
for publication the following state
ment which is being circulated:
''We positively condemn the use of
oil alcoholic liquors, including beer
and wine, because, by their effect on
the germ plasm they curse the unborn
child; because even their moderate
use has been proven to reduce the eff
cheney Of the user; and, because In
multitudes Of cases, the continued use
of alcohol in moderation proves to be
impossible. The moderate drinker Is
social menace"

delivers more searching appeal
