Many People Invite
Appendicitis Attack

Appendicitis is often due to infec-
ton from old, retained waste matter.
Even though bowels move daily. pois-
ons may accumulate in the system
for months. The intestinal antisep-
tic. Adler-i-ka, acts on BOTH upper
and lower bowel. removing ALL foul
decaying matter which might start
infection. EXCELLENT for gas on
the stomach or chronic constipation.
Adler-i-ka removes matter which you
never thought was in your system.
ONE single dose will surprise you.

THE BENEFITS OF A MODERN
Y. NJ. c. A TO ALEXANDRIA

There are many benefits for Alex
andria to be obtained from modern
Y VI C. A. For many reasons 1t IS
hoped that it will not be long before
one is opened here.
The "Y" could serve the boys and
the girls of the town in many ways.
They could 90 to the "Y" at night
and read the latest current news,
and books by the great authors, or
they could look up reference concern
ing their school work; for there
would be a quiet. attractive reading
room with bright lights and comfort
able chairs. There would be indoor
sports for the boys and girls, such
as swimming, physical culture, and
wrestling and boxing for the boys.
A "Y" also serves the various
purposes of the working girl. Many
a tired girl could find happy hour
or so at night in the girls club rooms,
or take up different courses through
the night classes. To the working
man, it also serves a fine purpose,
for he may go there at night and
study different subjects that he is not
able to take up during the day. Thus
he is able to prepare himself for pro-
motion in business

THE BENEFITS or A MODERN y
VI. { A. TO ALENANDRIA

If Alexandria would be a great
city ike some of the other cities in
Virginia, it would have a modern
Y. NJ. c. A. Building. Bv having
"Y" il could more than likely stop
young men and boys from hanging
on street corners and in pool rooms.
Alexandria wants $4,000 to build
a good Y NJ. c. A. Nearly half OF
this amount has been raised and dur
ing this week we are going to have a
campaign which will probably raise
what is wanted and more.
The modern "Y. NJ. c A" has a
gymnasium, pool rooms, swimming
pools and some ''Y's" have large
rooms for women to hold meetings of
their several clubs and different cir
cles. Some have rooms for people to
so to night school. where they learn
useful and ENJOYABLE subjects Read
ing rooms are free. When men are
finished work and dinned, and then
have no place 10 90, they NAV come
to this reading room and find the
best books. magazines, and papers.
The "Y" would be a community
center and would break up the cliaues
and groups N the different sections

THE BENEFITS OF A MODERN Y
NJ. c. A.

The trouble with the people OF
almost all communities is that they
are usually divided into various
"sets" or "cliqueS When this
happens rivalry exists between them.
If Alexandria had q modern !; NJ.
C.. A. a community center would be
installed where everybody IN the
community would go and discuss the
topics Of the day, therefore these
"cliuues" could never happen.
As most of our men are usually
tired and dirty after a days work,
they could 90 to the "Y' and ENJOY
n good swim. Men and boys would
have a separate dav and time to
swim and likewise, the women and
children could enjoy the pool This
would be a great benefit physically,
therefore to the men, and get a
shower bath and cot cheaper than
they could find elsewhere in the city;
This would be especially beneficial
TO visiting teams of school boys who
come to play against A. H. )
Cooking and sewing classes would
be held in the Y NJ. c. A. and
stoves and sewing machines would
be installed in SEPARATE rooms.
Organizations that have to hold
their meetings and suppers in places
where rather high price has to he
paid. for the use of a building could
hold them in the Y NJ. c. A. free
Of charge
Probably later on, cafeteria
would be installed where meals pre-
pared by scientific experts, could be
brought at the cheapest prices.
Some Y. NJ. C AS have night
schools, where men and women who
have to work in the day may take
special courses in bookkeeping, &C
counting literary and vocational
courses that make for better business
of the community as well as promo
ton of the individuals welfare.
A modern Y NJ. c. A. would there
fore have q splendid effect and be Of
a great benefit 70 the people of Alex
andria, physically. and morally.

The traveller who does not wish to
stay at a hotel or rooming house at
night, may find solid comfort for a
low mice at the "Y." He may eat
his breakfast and be on his way early
in the morning. Then also a poor
fellow who has not the price OIL no.
tel bed may stay here. This building
should be furnished with shower
baths and various other things:
Nearly all towns the SIZE OF Alex
ondria have q "Y" building. Many
visitors are surprised when they find
we have none here. A modern "Y''
would add more business for the mer-

of the city. These widely elashing
clioues are nothing but hindrance
to the progress of the city, If, for
instance, one party was fighting for
better streets, the other crowd might
go against them because maybe, that
crowd lived in a better part OF the
city. By constant difference OF
opinion all the time the city never
can progress.
On Sunday the "Y" is a good place
to go if you have nothing to do be-
tween church hours.
In many ways besides this, the ."
NJ. c. A. will be a benefit to Alex
andria.
Besides being historical, let Alex
andria be modern in having Y. NJ
c. A that may reflect the great
spirit Of Washington and Lee.

By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO January 5.-John Sof-
fel, president Of the Haywood State
Bank, was shot and killed, and Louis
S. Sweeney, chief of police of the
suburb and Arthur Benson. a bank
messenger, were wounded today when
FIVE bandits robbed them of a $4,000
pay roll for the haywood plant of
the American Can Company.
The bandits did not give the banker
and his two guards a chance to
hold up their hands. They ordered
the pay roll car to stop, and as it
came to a halt opened fire, killing
Soffel almost instantly.
Chief Sweeney was shot under the
right arm and Benson in the side.
the latter's injuries are serious. The
entire robbery occupied less than
three minutes. The robbers drove
ward Chicago. The scene of the
hold-up was only two blocks from the
bank.
Chief Sweeney said he was shot as
the bank messenger guided the auto
mobile to stop, and that Benson was
the second to fall. Mr.. Soffel stood
up and attempted to draw his revolver,
when he was shot dead.
Sweeney. despite his wound, ran to
the bank, two blocks away, and turned
in the alarm. Chicago police dis
patched three rifle squads and placed
guards on all roads from Haywood.
The suburb is eleven miles west of the
loop.
Witnesses of the hold-up obtained
the license humber of the bandits au-
tomobile, but police say the tag was
issued to the owner of a different make
of car who lives near Rutland, Ill.
