NO SPECIAL CHANGE.

There has been little real change in
the condition of John Q. Burnett in the
last week, except he is probably some
weaker than week ago. On some
occasions he has had very bad nights
and has been very low, but yesterday
afternoon at last reports he was rest
ing little better and had gotten thru
Monday night some easier than the
night before. His condition is very
critical and the worst may come any
time.

amendment which would bar from OF.
flee those who are POLITICALLY dry
and personally wet"
That section of the governors mes
sage dealing with prohibition was pro-
nounced an unadorned picture OF eX-
listing conditions. As corrective
measure, the executive urged the legis-
lature to provide for an amendment
to the constitution requiring such as
pirant for any public office to swear
that he has not violated the liquor
laws and will not knowingly do so.
81 am not giving you moral lee
ture," Governor Davis told members
Of the general assembly, Il am en-
deavoring to save Virginia from an
impending degeneracy caused by hypo-
crisy and law evasion"
Simultaneous with the governors
attack Delegates Wilbur Hall, of Lou
doun, and Mayo Brown, of Lynch
burg, introduced a joint resolution
providing for an amendment to the
constitution such as recommended by
his excellency.
The section of the governors mes
sage relative to the question of prohi-
bition enforcement follows:
Whatsoever the cost we must have
the laws of the lana enforced. A
failure to do this is a surrender of
order to disorder and is productive
of chaotic conditions in the administra-
ton of law and justice. The laws
are enforced in Virginia as we'll as
they are enforced in other states, but
that is not enough. The existence of
statutes and the imposing of the
jail terms do not alone mean law en-
forcement; there must be healthy
public opinion demanding it. Men and
women are easily influenced by
Leadership" and until education de-
valnnes us fully, we are essentially
emotional, and giving to mass ac-
ton.
We are all alike affected by ex-
ample rather than by precept, especial
ly is this the case with our youth
the hope of the country. As has been
happily said by distinguished au-
thority upon prohibition law enforce
ment at the meeting of the national
law enforcement convention held at
Washington, D. c., December 6, 1921
we must legislate and prosecute, and
drastically punish, but principally we
must educate, and practice what we
preach 1t is therefore the duty OF
every citizen to aid in prohibition law
enforcement 1t should not be said
and it has been truthfully said-that
as long as 'high-brows' will furnish
it. am not giving moral lecture
| am endeavoring to save Virginia
from an impending degeneracy caused
hv hvnocricy and law evasion.

CALOMEL SALIVATES
AND LOOSENS TEETH
The Very Next Dose of This Treach-
erous Drug Nav Start Trouble

The Very Next Dose of This Treach-
erous Drug May Start Trouble
You know what calomel is. It's
mercury; quicksilver. Calomel is dan
eerous. It crashes into sour bile like
dynamite, cramping and sickening
you. Calomcl attacks the. bones and
should never be put into your system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cents
which is a harmless vegetable substi-
tute for dangerous calomel. Take a
spoonful and if it doesn't start your
liver and straighten you up better
and quicker than nasty calomel and
without making you sick, you just 60
back and get your money.
Don't take calomel! 1t makes you
sick the next day; it loses you days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straightens
You right up and YOU feel great. No
salts necessary. Give it to the children
because it is nerfect,y harmless and
can not salivate.

doing with circus in France. "Kirby's

Typographical Unit" This organiza-
ton revolutionized war map printing
on the western front and proved to be
very important factor in the opera
tions of the American Army.
In modern warfare thousands Of
maps are required of the area being
fought over, for the Artillery, for the
Engineers, for the Infantry; in fact
for all areas, and these maps must be
produced at once and in large volume.
The Americans decided to operate
mobile reproduction plants with the
Army for this work. The British
and French said it could not be done
and claimed that only stationary
plants could be used for map printing
However, at Vaux in the Chateau
Therrv Sector when the Americans
were given French map at $3.50 a. m
and at 2:30 the next morning 1900
maps in two colors were in the hands
of the fighting units.
