THE NEXT GOVERNOR OF THE
STATE

The next Governor of Virginia to
succeed Hon. Henry C. Stuart, the
best Governor all around the state
has ever had, will be, unless all signs
fail, Lieutenant Governor, J. Taylor
Ellyson, who is one of the best known
Democrats in the state, us well Us
Il widely known Christian gentleman,
prominent in the Councils and a lea
der in the Baptist denomination of
the state. Mr.. Ellyson has strong
opposition of kind, in Hon. John
Garland Pollard, and Hon. Westmore-
land Davis. We say opposition "of
kind" advisedly.
There is no real issue of vital mo-
mcnt in the state. That Mr.. Ellyson
is machine Democrat" "(whatever
that may mcan) seems to be his only
offending, and the only point of
attack. The anti-machine men, rs
they choose to style themselves, have
more than once sought to create ga
rucas," for one cause or another, and
have just as often gone down in de-
feat before the loyal Democratic
hosts of the state. If the cry of "ma-
chine" is the only plea, it is "good
night" right now. Few people will
pay any attention to that old chest
nut and campaign joke this year.
This is no time to think of and to try
to stir up, strife in the state. The
good Democrats of the state will
follow and promote the man who has
led the party to victory through all
these years, to a position Of greater
honor and usefulness.

HOME HEALTH CLUB

GOATS MILK-Befere the war pc
gan and when the subject of food
conservation was laughed at I wrote
several articles on the subject of
goats milk and the many advantages
of using it for human food. The ar
ticles created but little interest. One
young woman that was suffering with
tuberculosis became interested and
went to one of the southwestern
states where she took up a. large tract
of land under the homestead act and
got some milk goats which she cared
for herself and thereby not only re-
gained her health but made a nice
little homemade fortune at the same
time.
There is good money not only in
goats milk as a food product but in
raising goats for food. The meat is
usually sold as mutton. In connec-
ton with the subject Of goats milk T
take pleasure in quoting Mr.. Fred
Lounsberry who in turn quotes COM
munication from DR.. Louis G. Knox
of Danbury, Conn.

Goats milk needs but a trial I

Goats milk needs but a trial to
demonstrate its wonderful efficiency
as a health builder. Testimonials in
support of this statement from scien-
tific men, physicians and laymen in,
all parts of the world could be fur
nished without limit. The case is put
so concisely by DR.. Knox of Danbury,
Conn, that I take pleasure in quot
ing the following from a letter writ
ten by him in 1913.
: I have practiced medicine for over
40 years as a general practitioner and
consultant. During that time I have
had hundreds Of babies and children
brought to my office in all stages of
malnutrition. Most of them had been
treated by skillful- physicians with all
the generally approved foods and
medication ip vogue without benefit,
and death seemed inevitable in many
of the cases. DR.. Knox was the last
resort of many anxious parents. All
these little sufferers were put upon
goats milk, whenever it could be OBJ
tanned, as soon as possible and to
their great benefit. The milk was
sucked from a bottle, warm, and d.
rect from the goat, not drank but
sucked to insure more perfect diges-
ton. Drugs were cast aside and in
their place hygienic. surroundings,
sunlight, air, bathinf, etc, was the
only treatment. I wish to state that
in every case improvement and good
health followed
! The milk of the goat is nearly iden-
teal in its composition to human milk
and makes the most perfect food for
all invalids and children, particularly
those having weak digestion or those
recovering from disease. To get the
full benefit from milk, it must be
sucked through a nipple for children,
a glass tube or straw for adults. as
the saliva is its most active and prin-
cipal solvent previous to Its digestion
and assimilation BY drinking it we
are deprived Of the salivaupon which
success greatly depends can give

Coal is in great demand all through

best endeavors of the Fuel Admins

hind the requirements. The situation
is serious.
At the present time New England
is several million tons of soft c.al
short of its needs, anad while the hard
coal supply was reasonably satisfac-
tory two r1$pntffs aS6 there wasila fall
inaroff during September and Octo-

coming forward to meet the increas-
ed uses.
Every effort has been and is be-
ing made by the Fuel Administra-
tor to facilitate shipments and to Sc
cure the economical utilization of the
coal received, Many relatively unne-
cessary forms of use have been cur
tailed or even eliminated.
The fact remains that the outlook
for any Improvement in future deliv-
cries for New England, is unfavorable,
ana it has Become the duty of the
Administrator to advise the public OF
these facts. and to urge that personal

patriotism require that New England

Dancers Dramatic Arrest


AS she entered first-class compart-
ment a detective questioned her, and
made polite request that she should
remain behind for further inquiries to
be undertaken regarding her identity.
The beautiful dancer betrayed no agf7
,tation or surprise at this move onsthe
part of the police. and accordingly
accompanied the detective to the pas
senger examination office. Here she
was again Intercepted with the re-
suit that the port authorities informed
her that it was impossible for her to
proceed to London in view of certain
knowledge which had come into their
possession. :.
During her detention Marguerite
Zel1e behaved with delightful indff-
ference, all the time assuring the .po-
lice that a great mistake had been
made, and that doubtless the French
Intelligence Department would be
able to. put matters right. ~
Her surmise was incorrect as de-
velopments proved. That evening an
escort arrived from France, and Mar
guerite Zelle was taken into custody.
She was staggered when told of the
real reason for her detention, and con-
tinued to make the most profuse ex-
plantations as to her position.
The following morning the dancer
was conveyed to France and handed
over to the military authorities. No
secret was now made of the charge on
which Marguerite Zelle was a pris-
oner of war.
Conveying French Secrets to Germans
Fretfully she pleaded1for pity and
assured the military that she was en-
tirely innocent of any attempt to COM
municate information to the Germans.
