In order to gratify a lifelong cherished
ambition of his fond mother to
see him inaugurated governor of the .
'; state. Governor-elect John J. Corn-;
well has arranged for special railroad
service to bring bis aged mother
to Charleston to witness the lnaugu- >
ral ceremonies on March 5, when he |

Virginia. The mother thus honored,;
Bays the Charleston Leader, which
tells the story, is Mrs. Mary E. Cornwell,
who is living in Komney at the!
advanced age of 84 and too feeble to
come to the capital by ordinary traveling
accommodations. So the governor-1
elect has contracted with the railroad
companies whose lines are UBcd ojt
route to provide a special coach for
her use so that she may make the trip
with the least possible discomfort, i
She will conie on the Sunday before i
' inauguration day and upon her arrival i

An increase in the contract price of
coal is under consideration by the oper-!
ators of the Pocahontas field, accord
ing to information in mining circles i
at Bluefleld. The increase of from
$1.75 to $2 a ton, it Is stated, will go
into effect April 1 when the present
contracts expire. The increase will
not affect the market price of bitumi-j
inous coal, It is said, but will advance 1
only the contract price of $1.25 a ton
on run-of:mine coal at the operations.
Since last October, there has been no
fixed market price, each operator get-;
ting what he could for his product
V which has ranged from $4 to $6 at the

With the view of influencing prospective
builders Into using brick instead
of wood, the Ohio and West Vir-1
ginla Conference of Bricklayers" Un- |
ions has been formed with headquarters
at Wheeling, and is carrying on a
campaign for tho construction of more
brick buildings. In a statement setting
forth "the advantages of brick,"
the conference points out that Insurance
rates are lower on brick build
mgs, it costs less to bent them and
they last longer.

ddltlon to the avowed purpose of harsslng
England by threatened starva-;
Ion, the announcement of the German
ubmarine warfare without warning '
nd to the knife, has two far more,
mmedlate and practical objects.
The first purpose of this sensational1
hange of policy on the part of Ger-|
aany is to divert the thoughts and im- \
ginations of the German people from;
heir own hunger pangs to rejoicing
ver the anticipated plight of the BritJh.
For the past three months evidence >
f the severe straits of the German j
aod supply and the consequent unrest1
i me civn population nave Deen acumulating
at a rapid rate.
Food riots have been reported in all
arts ot Germany and Austrla-Hungay,
instead of denying their occurrence
a had been the former policy, Food-;
lontroller Batockl has merely insisted ;
hat they were of little consequence'
nd less menacing than reported.
Confirmation of the existence of a'
tate of unrest over the food shortage
nd the alleged Inequality ot dlstrlution
was contained In the appeal ot
on Hindenberg for more food for his
tunltlon workers, whose efficiency,
e asserted, was being rapidly impaird
because the farmers were holding
ack food.
To add fuel to the dames of unrest
ame Batockl's admission during the'
ast week that Individual allotments'
f food would havo to be still further j
ecreased and that the German people
lust prepare to endure even greater
ardships than they have already sutured.
Since then reports ot food rioi j
ave Increased. ;
The only way to meet this situation

Germany la running the military situation
in Rumania. Germany is very
fur away. Her authorities have known
for weeks that there was little to expect
from Rumania, and have tried
to breuk the evil news gently. First
camo the announcement that the sLe
of the supplies captured was unknown,
then the word that what evu might
be found would not be used but kept
as a reserve.
It is, of course, the big German cities
that are suffering, and that arc going
to suffer increasingly as the war
continues. Lack of transportation
facilities is an increasingly imporuiu.
factor.
Germany, which before the war bad
somewhat more th.n ample freight
cars for its owu needs, now has to
make the same number of cars, approximately,
do for all of the German'
empire, nearly all of Belgian, Northern
France, all Poland, and a big piece |
of Russia, in addition to Serbia. Mon-1
tenegro and the biggest half of Ru-1
mania, unly a relatively small number
of cars captured in Belgium have |
uccu ttuueu LU uciaiuu luuu ifc,
stock.
As the war has gone on the condi-'
tion of this l olling stock has deteri- j
orated steadily, and scarcely any of it |
has been replaced. A shortage of oils j
has not allowed the proper care of ,
what cars there are; hot boxes on j
both passenger anil freight cars are ;
everyday occurrences. The engine.,
have now to draw such heavy loads,
that they aro going to pieces fastci
than they used to.
Feed and fodder conditions for Ger-!
man livestock improved some wh<u [
through last year's hurvests, but out>
some what. The cattle are still thin.
and scragglj. The milch cattle gives
less than ever and there is little mil,, j
that can be spared for cheese. The cat
tie, when slaughtered, give less meat
than they used to. and so horse meat
has had to be resorted to in a degtce
that 1b unprecedented.
The available supply of swine has
never recovered from the original Ger
man mistake of 1914 and 1919, when
millions of pigs were slaughtered to
save the food that they devoured, only j
thereby reducing the supply of lnt'
to a dangerous point. The Germans'
have never forgiven themselves fori
that short-sightedness.
The same in a measure holds true |
of sugar. There had been an oversupply
In 1914, and solemn warning.,

peasantry followed the advice too literally,
and Germany awoke to lin.i I
that she had hardly more than enough !
snugar for purposes jithcr than fooc.
So the big cities are in part livin
on saccharine now, and there isn .
enough of that.
The coffee "stretching" process began
last spring, and has continued so
diligently that real coffee is an almost
unattainable rarity, and the average
"coffee" that Is available Is so pool
as to be undrinkabic for the person
used to reaf coffee. Substitutes such
as chicory, herbs, mixtures of all kinds
have taken coffee's place.
The most period organization and
system in the world nns stepped in
and so regulated food affairs that ev- /
ery adult In the empire is pretty well
assured of half a pound of meat a week
But nearly every ounce of that half
pound is lean meat. The fat rarely
reached the purchaser, for It Is jealously
hoarded by the government.
System llkewiso has piovi ed that
rix Foreign
Victorious in
wee tor the German government to!
launch some move so sensational and
aggressive that tho thoughts of tho
German people would be transferred,
from themselves to thought^ of vic-|
Wl/ UilU 1 cvougo.
The second great reason for thtsi
dramatic change of policy is the press-1
ing need of Germany for a new loan.
It Is a matter of record that Ger-I
many hasNnever attempted to launch
a war loan except upon the carefully
prepared basis of a great military sen- j
satlon.
The drive through Belgium launched
the first loan the great drive
against Russia wag the basis for the
second.
Whatever may have been the purpose
of an attack on Verdun, its only
effective result was to arouse the German
people to a pitch of high enthusiasm
for the greatest loan of all.
Germany has increased taxation relatively
little, and relying as she does
on the success of a series of enormoUB
loans, it is imperative that they'
shall bo put out only when there is
assurance of success.
The failure of a single loan would
be a more serious calamity than the
wiping out of an entire division of
the German army. It would weaken
the imperial prestige and hamper ev-,
ery move of the military authorities.
Only two moves of sufficient im-i
ponauce 10 arouse tne people to real j
enthusiasm were possible at this time!
?the ousting of the allies from Salon-1
ikl and the launching of a ruthless
submarine warfare.
For the purposes In mind the submarines
wero Infinitely to bo preferred.
We may therefore expect to see a
new German loan announced as soon
as von Bethmann-Hollwog has assured
the country that the now regime
will bring England to the point of

OVER 600,000 PEOPLE ARE NOW '
DOING SO.
For many years physicians have
agreed that the vast majority of human
ills were caused by accumulated
waste in the Lower Intestine; that in
our present way of living Nature could
not lemuvo all this waste without assistance,
no matter how regular ws
might be; and that the poison from
this waste circulated through the
biood pulled us away down below par
and was responsible lor many diseases
of a serious nature.
During the time tlie "J. B. L. Cascade"
for Internal Bathing has, because
of their recommeuuation and
those of Its users, been steadily growing
in favor.
Recently, however, the startling
news which has been covering this
country that great surgeons and specialists
have been operating on the
Lower Intestine for the most chronic
and serious diseases has caused Americans
to become thoroughly awake to
the importance of keeping this Lower
Intestine free from all nounnmn wnoio
matter, and over 500,000 are now using
Internal Baths.
It you try the "J. B. L. Cascade" you
will tind yourself always bright, confident
and capable ? the poisonous
waste i takes us biliouB, blue, dull and
