At the barracks in the Eleventh s Ward the correspondent was informed by Inspector Pierre that already 1,500 persons had been served up to noon, and he expected to serve as many in the afternoon.

The Soldiers Return (From Stars and Stripes.) There are. a great many splendid things being said and done in the States incident to the American soldier's return. And, as might be expected, a great many things equally as silly. The American soldier believes that this war has been fought for something very spiritual and yet very tangible, and that the peace to follow is to be a worthy one. He will return to face life with the same high courage with which he confronted death. He feels sure of the welcome he will find, and he hopes to slide back quietly and unostentatiously into harness and help pull the load of a bigger, better world. The programs of land reclamation and vocational training, insurance protection, and help for the maimed and blind the returning soldier looks forward as a measure of justice which he hopes will be worked out to a consummation in keeping with the new order of things. There are, however, unfortunately, a great many people in the States with lota of time and nothing to do, to whom It ought to be suggested that he does not appreciate the. charity campaign now in full swing. He does not object to his old uniform and some of its accessories, nor to the extra month's pay that is an intimate little matter etween himself and his uncle. But when he picks up the paper and reads ln, perhaps, nine out of fifteen Items some novel proposition, rather vague, but, nevertheless, entirely suggestive of the charitable Intentions of the authors, he feels very much like a man who has left home and upon returning finds some one else installed in the best chambers and the word "Welcome" on the cellar door. One state is planting trees for us, another naming "pigs for us, all the hens in another state laying eggs for us, and some one else is planning to make New York policemen out of us. Some governors are calling the politicians together "and proclaiming that something has got to be done with us, and . committees are being appointed (with salaries) to look into the matter. Some are recommending that all of us be sent back to the farm and others that we be hired by the government. What a tremendous awakening is in store for all these dear people when the soldier sets foot again upon the old sod, shakes the dust of battle from his clothes, and wades , into things with a breeze that will blow all the charity boards and governors' committees out of his way forever!

FEDERAL RAIL CONTROL WILL BE CONTINUED

Congress Failure to Appropriate Funds 'Will Not , Force Premature Return. . (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. March 7. The government today determined to retain control of the railroads, despite failure of congress to provide funds for, the railroad administration., The roads will finance themselves for the next few months through private loans on the open market or through advances by the war finance corporation. Efforts will be made to maintain operations on a normal scale and to carry on as much of the improvement program as possible, in order to avoid throwing employes out of work or otherwise disturbing industrial conditions. No attempt will be made, to solve the problem by raising rates. These assurances were given by Director General Walker G. Hines in a public statement and in an address to the conference of governors and mayors meeting here. Large Sum Is Available At the same time It developed that the war finance corporation has about $337,000,000 resources available, and much of this may go to railroads to supplement the sums they can borrow until congress meets again and has an opportunity to appropriate funds. After protracted conferences between Secretary Glass and other Officials of the treasury and war finance corporation it was stated that means probably will be developed to keep i the railroads off the money market as much as possible and minimize interference with the forthcoming victory liberty loan. - DR. HARRY WEIST TAKES OWN LIFE Dr. Harry Weist, formerly a prominent physician of Richmond, who has lived in New York for the last ten years was found dead in . the bathroom of his apartment, 32 East Sixtyfourth street New York city yester day. Death was apparently the result of a self-inflicted bullet wound in the head. The police gave suicide as the cause for the death. It is understood that Dr. Weist has been suffering from a nervous disorder for the last two years. A nurse, Miss Anna Elstro, who had been a family attendant for a number of years was the first to reach the body. Dr. Weist was the son of Dr. Jacob R. Weist, for many years one of the leading physicians of this city. The son. Harry Weist, was born and rear ed in this city.- He was a graduate of an Eastern medical college, and was later associated here with his father in practicing medicine. Upon his father's death he took over his work residing In the family home at- 118 North Eighth street. Dr. WTeist left this city about ten years ago with Daniel G. Reid, former Richmond multi-millionaire, to act as his private physician. He had not, however, been associated with Mr. Reid for about two years, but had been employed as a physician by the Pennsylvania railway and the American Exchange National bank. He is survived by his widow and two children, Miss Helen Weist and Ro'and Weist. The burial will be at Exeter, N. H. Miss Ferguson to Take Position in Goshen Miss Alberta Ferguson, who has been nurse at the Day nursery will go to Goshen, Ind., to take up wTork in that county.

Before coming to Richmond Miss Ferguson was engaged in a similar work at Winchester. No one has been secured to fill her place here. CIVIL WAR VETERAN Telle Aged People How to Get More Strength. " Here is another link in the chain of evidence to prove that our famous cod liver and iron tonic Vinol creates strength for feeble old people. Mr. Nelson H. Pease of the National Soldiers' Home, Tennessee, says: "I. am 74 years of age and was in a weak, debilitated condition, poor appetite and did not sleep well. Vinol gave me a good appetite. I sleep well, and it has built me up so I feel stronger and better in every way. I strong ly recommend Vinol for such condi tions, as I believe it prolongs life for old people."

Nysical iepailiMll : BY DR. WELLSMAN Cleaning the System of Poisons Life is not merely to live, but to live well, eat well, digest well, work well, sleep well and finally and to some people mostcssentially to look well.' What a glorious condition to attain, and yet how very easy It Is if one will only adopt the morning inside bath. Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul breath, nasty tongue, acid stomach.' can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the eludes of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the Internal poisonous stagnant matter. A glass of hot water each morning with one-half laxcarin tablet .with it, before breakfast, keeps us looking and feeling fit. Everyone, whether ailing, sick, or well, should, each morning before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water, and take one-half or one whole laxcarin with It, to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous days indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire elimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and laxcarin is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the 'sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. While enjoying your breakfast the hot water and the laxcarin is quietly extracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the Inside organs. The millions of people who are bothered with constipation billiousness, stomach trouble, rheumatism; others who have sallow skins blood disorders and stickly complexions are urged to get a box of laxcarin, which costs almost nothing, or if desired six boxes which in the majority of cases is enough for the whole treatment, Is sufficient to make anyone a pronounced crank on the subject of internal sanitation. "Laxcarin is sold by the Laxcarin Products Co., Dept. E-94, Pittsburgh, Penna. Price per box one dollar, full treatment six boxes five dollars. Will be sent post paid upon receipt of cash, money orders or stamps. Substitutes must be refused. Adv. .
