HOW TO BEAT OLD MIC.
(Health Talks, From the Times
Dispatch.)

Scientific physicians all agree that
tobacco used by minors, that is to say
boys under twenty-five, causes d
measurable reduction of mental and
physical efficiency. Every practicing
doctor knows that tobacco is cause
of hardening of the arteries. Good
authorities believe that it favors lip,
tongue and throat cancer. And the
man on the street is we'll aware that
it produces "heart burn" stomach
trouble, disturbed heart function and
catarrhal conditions of the throat
Some of the most distressing causes
of angina pectoris (heart pang) are
unquestionably caused by tobacco and
relieved only when tobacco is give
en- up. Tobacco amblyopia Gloss Of

l personally believe that tobacco
when used by boys under 25 leads to
moral weakness. Therefore, as a doc
tor, believe it should be made very
serious crime for boy under TWEEN
ty-five years of age, to have tobacco
in his possession. l am speaking, if

may be well to repeat here the meas

1. Adopt diet without meat, fish
or eggs for period of not less than
three weeks. (This includes meat
soups). Meat extractives, being stim-
ulating, whet the craving for tobacco
2. Eat apples or other whole fresh
fruits three times day. Fruit acids
diminish the craving.
3. Keep some good candy on hand
and eat some when the desire for to-
bacco becomesi nsistent. Sugar is
an Immediately available source OF
energy, and an antidote to alcohol
and tobacco appetite.

DIRECTOR MACHEN CONFIDENT
OF u. S. WINNING THE WAR.

Richmond, Va, July 18.-"Yes, we
will win this war for civilization. The
seas no longer limit our duties, nor
define our rights We have Joined the
free peoples of the worlds to win
further freedom and to protect it; to
give the death blow to the last rem
nant of military despotism that has
already drenched the world with blood
and tears, filled the seas with the
corpses of innocent women and little
ch!ldren-a despotism whose record
Is black with perfidy and crimson
with murder millions of times multi
pied. Having saved civilization from
the terror of this menace, America
will not only bear the proud title of
the land of the free and the home of
the brave, but also a name that will
be nobler still, of the land that gave
freedom to the homes of brave people
in all dominions beneath the shining
pathway of the sun"
The above paragraph concludes a
stirring arraignment of Germany and
German methods prepared by Lewis
II. Machen, director of the Legisla-
tive Reference and chairman of the
Speakers Bureau of the Virginia
Council of Defense.
1T may be asked" says Mr.. Ma
chen, why the German government
was anxious for conquest of France.
The answer is that the rising tide
OF social democracy in Germany, in
spite of the utmost efforts of the
emperor and his associates, gave the
warning that unless the minds of the
nation were quickly diverted there
was danger of modification, if not
displacement, of the monarchy. A
mrief and brilliant military campaign
would have strengthened the govern
ment in the eyes of the German PEG
pie who would glory in the added
prestige of the German army.
Moreover, the addition Of French
provinces. bringing the German en-
Pire to the English channel, would
have afforded base of operations.
(Which would not have beffien long
Postponed) against England, of whom
distrust and hatred have been for
years shrewdly inculcated into the
German mind.
Even religion was used to foster
this militaristic spirit. The teacn-
ings of Christ and His apostles re-
garding peace and justice were rep
dated. The Emperor continually
claimed that he himself was the chos
en- instrument of Providence to bring
the world under subsection to Ger.
many. The German philosophers
were either atheists who constructed
a cruel and relentless fate, driving
the nations without mercy by militar-
ism and greed or they were blasphe-
mers and erected monstrous god
worse than a demon, who was the
junior partner of the Kaiser in the
bloody enterprise of. crushing all peo-
pies who came btween that royal lu-
matte and the night mare of blood and
death, which he fancied was dream

operation. We are in full sympathy
with any bill, or measure that will
prohibit the manufacture and sale of
the stuff, not only for the period of
the war but for all time to come. To
prohibit only during the war and
then turn the demon loose would be
to inaugurate another war in time
of peace, more destructive than the
one now raging. Nevertheless, along
with thousands of wiser men we be-
lieve putting the prohibition rider on
top of the food bill was Il mistake. 1t
had nothing to do per sc with the
food bill, and has delayed legisla-
ton sorely needed. A "rider," as such
bills as are not likely to pass upon
their own merits are called, are near
ly always weak in some particular re-
spect and must ride in on the back
of some other bill of more merit, up
on which the rider must depend for
passage. In other days, when farm
crs built rail fences, they "stakcd and
ridcrcd." A heavy rail was put on
top to hold the fence against winds,
etc. And this prohibition rider has
served as weight upon the Shout
ders of the food bill. The prohibi-
ton bill is important, of course, but
should come up squarely and fairly
upon its merits after the passage of
food legislation. We believe most
heartily in "bone-dry," national pro-
hibition, but there is n time for all
things, and this is the time to strike
solar plcXus blows at the big enc
my across the seas. Let putting OBJ
stacles in the way of the passage of
the bill be stopped.

WHY SHOUL WE WORRY?

Oh, why should we worry
When things go wrong,
And the way seems so rough
AS we journey along;
When life's burden is heavy
And luck's on the reverse.
Just remember, old chap,
That it might have been worse.
When you're out with the boys,
And get home late at night,
And your head the next morning
Is not feeling right;
If your wife's in the country,
You've cause to rejoice,
For if she was home,
Why it might have been worse.
When you come home sometime
With 4 pure case of blues,
And the doctor awaits you
To break the good news.
If he says, "It's a boy!"
Don't cry out, Good night, nurse!
Just remember, old top,
That it might have been worse.
So be cheerful and happy,
Make life sweet song;
Be the chap with smile
AS you hustle along;
You weren't placed here
Through your own will or choice.
So just bear it and grin,
For it might have been worse.

THEIR MEASURE TAKEN.

The Anti-Saloon League of Vir-
ginia has addressed set of questions
to the candidates who will be before
the August primary, asking how they
stand and how they will vote on future
prohibition legislation which may come
before the Legislature of the State
during their terms of office.
Mr. Ellyson, Mr.. Pollard and Mr.
Davis, candidates for Governor. Mr..
Saunders and Mr.. White for attorney
general, Mr.. Buchanan, for Licuten-
ant Governor, Mr.. James and Mr..
Brown for Secretary of the Common
wealth, all were asked the following
questions:
First. Any statement you may wish
to make rs 10 your votes on former
prohibition legislation.
Second. Do you favor the main
provisions of the Mapp law?
Third If elected to the Office to
which you aspire will you support
the enforcement of the Mapp law,
and cooperate with the majority to
strengthen and perfect the same?
Fourth. Do you favor the adop-
tion of Il prohibition constitutional
amendment for the State of Virginia
Answers to all the questions were
received promptly, and published in
the Virginian and otherwise circu-
lated throughout the State.
The ant-saloon leagues conclus-
ions summed up briefly, are as fol-
lows:
The records of Messrs. Ellyson and
Pollard, candidates for Governor; B.
f. Buchanan for Lieutenant Govern
or, good and answers to questions
entirely satisfactory. Also the rec
ords and answers of Mr.. Saunders,
for Attorney General and Mr.. Brown
for Secretary, entirely satisfactory.
The records and answers of sever
al of the candidates are put down as
entirely unsatisfactory, and their
election advised against: Hon. West
moreland Davis for Governor; Hon
Hugh A. White for Attorney General
Hon. B. 0. James, for Secretary OF
the Commonwealth.
The League protests against elect.
ing the men TO public office whose
records and votes heretofore on tho
question of statewide prohibi,iG,
places them clearly on the side of tn,
"wets," and the enemies of sobret,
and good order in the State. Mr.
James and Mr.. White both have
cloudy regulations on the prohibi.
ton question. Mr. White voted anG
worked with all his might against the
enabling act and was counted on the
side of the vets by the liquor mer
who fought the question all the way
through, and he also did his best
finally to have the time of closing
of saloons from November. 1916 to
November, 1917 Mr.. james, candi.
date for Secretary of State, is shown
to have allowed his office records tc
be used by the liquor men of the
State, and made himself thereby an
Objectionable candidate to the anti.
saloon people of the State.
