gurating this method in order that
physicians and others who volunteer

WEED LlGHTENS BURDEN
OF TROOPS AT FRONT
sour Boys in France Tobacco FUND.-
Is Working Toward Civ
ing Cheer.

During the Spanish American War
there was n movement TO have tobacco
issued to the men OF the army and
navy as part of their rations. Peter
Johnston Otey, n Virginian and the
father Of Mrs. John NJ. Miller, Of this
city with his characteristic witty and
droll eloquence. urged this measure in
the House Of Representatives. He
begged OF the government not to for
get the men on the sanguinary fields
OF Cuba and it is just such a plea as
this that the men OF the army and
navy arc themselves making to-day
through our Boys in Franco Tobacco
Fund" People are needing this call
in meritorious manner and furnishing
the men with this much-needed stimu-
liant.
In speaking of the ration OF tobacco,
Mr. Otey said:
"I1e will recall that ration of to-
bacco. as 1t plucked from his mind
rooted sorrow RACED out the written
troubles of his brain, and, as a sweet
oblivious antidote. cleansed his bosom
of the perilous stuff which weighed
upon his heart"
So it is to-day that "Our Boys in
France Tobacco Fund" is striving to
tighten the heavy burden which rests
upon the hearts and minds of the men
in Europe. and II is for this that more
and more contributions must come in
daily to keep up the good work and
supply this great need OF the fighter

Hunting season in Virginia opens on
Thursday of this week. Activity
among local Nimrods has manifested

Whether or not tho high prices OF

who go forth this year remains to be
seen. 1t is not anticipated, however,
that this will prevent lovers Of the

this reason, any outlay for ammunition
