Food That VIII Beautifv.

1t cannot be doubted that what one
eats will make or mar the skin, says a
writer in the Ladies, Home Journal.
The famous French writer on food,
Brillat-Savarin, says rich food makes
beautiful women But this was badly
translated; he meant by it, not rich as
indicating greasy, or oily, or heavy
food, but he meant good food, that
which is properly cooked and which is
fresh The pale, pasty complexion Of
many Of our women is attributed with
out any extra thought, to too much
pastry, too many sweets, oyerdone
meats and an insufficient quantity Of
fresh vegetables. The green said in
any shape, from the long curling let
tuce leaf to the crisp little watercress,
is constant beautifer, and more than
this, regularly eaten, it quiets your
nerves and gives you a pleasant sleep.
But if you flood it with vinegar and
powder it with sugar you have simplv
made yourself a dish that will have no
effect upon you whatever, unless it
should be by the force of the vinegar
to break the enamel OF your teeth.
The right way for you to eat this
most identifying of dishes is to have
upon it a good dressing, that is, one
formed of pepper, salt, a small portion
of vinegar and large portion of sweet
olive oil; if you do not care for this
then eat your salad as did the hermits
of old, dipping a leaf in some salt and
having with it q niece of broad oDd
butter. All fresh vegetables especially
asparagus tend to improve the skin. I
do not say give up all sweets, but l do
say eat them in their proper place; that
is, after you have had your dinner and
when you will not require great guam
tity. Pastry, if eaten at all,must be
so light that it is above reproach; then
it will not have an apparent effect on
the skin, but it will tend to fatten you.

it can be shown that these mental feats
are not thought, the same process of
reasoning could show that these sounds
are not speech. If man derived his
other faculties from such an ancestry
may not his speech have been acquired
from such source? If the prototype
Of man has survived through all the
vicisSitudes of time, may not his speech
likewise have survived? If the races of
mankind are the progeny of the simian
stock, may not their languages be the
progeny of the sinian tongue?"

Every week that the dreaded scourge
of cholera is kept in the distance is
valuable time gained. It is a disease
which belongs more especially to the
hot months. Nothing but nerculean eff
forts upon the part of the health auth
critics in every part of the United
States and rigid enforcement of the law
upon all importations of every kind
from the affected districts will save the
country from the ravages of the disease
the coming year.

Every flock master should make it
his bushes to ascertain by thorough
inspection whether his lambs have
ticks or not The mere having Of them
does not always involve a disgrace,
but it is disgraceful to continue to have
them in the flock. Feeding the ewes
and lambs with sulphur freely viii
hold them very well in check, and it is
safe to do this while they are in winter
quarters and can be housed from the
rain, but it is not safe when they are
liable to get wet

NOT MOURNING.
The Death Of Jack Cooley Seems to
Have no Retarding Effect on
the Gang.

FA1RoHANcE, July 26.-Wesley
Sisler living at Haydentown, three
miles distant from this place, is a
living witness to the fact that the
mere matter of killing one of their
gang does not stop the Cooley gang
from continuing their unholy prac-
tees. Sunday they watched the
funeral of their dead comrade and a
day later they were at their lawless
work with as much vigor as though
the loss of one of their number was
but an impetus to commit more and
worse breaches of the peace. Last
evening about seven o'clock Wesley
Sisler rushed into the Central tele-
phone Office here and breathlessly
asked Mr.. Hampstead to telephone
Sheriff Mccormick to come at once
to his place as six of the Cooleys
had just been there and driven
him from home. Sisler lives
alone and has girl keeping
house for him, the same girl over
which Frank Cooley and William
Robinson fought and who was the
indirect cause ascending Dick Cooley
to the workhouse for two years.
Sister says that the men were all
heavily armed and that they drove
him from the house and then out
ragged the girl. Sisler was in great
state Of mind and feared to return
home without aid. Sheriff McCor-
mick refused to come saying that it
would be no use as the Cooleys would
be far enough away by the time he
got to Haydentown. This outbreak
is unexpected, the general impression
being that the gang would remain in
retirement for time at least.

Burglary at Opekiska.

On Sunday night July oath, the
wife of G. A. Brooks, a miner heard
footsteps in their room and aroused
her husband. He saw the form of a
man by the dim light and grappled
with him, throwing him to the floor
and breaking a chair over his head.
About that time another man made
his exit through the window and
while Mr.. B. was looking for still
another the first man escaped also.
The latter left behind him knife
which he had in his hand when he
was thrown to the floor. Mr.. Brooks
fired in the direction of the retreat
ing men but there was nothing to
show that his shot took effect The
thieves had no trouble in entering
the house as the family were sleep
ing with the windows open. They
received $3.50 in money, which will
prove quite loss to the miner and
his family. People become careless
this warm weather and by leaving
their windows and doors open give
thieves an opportunity which they
are not slow to take advantage of.

The Board of Regents set apart
the room under the commencement
hall for a gymnasium and the execu-
tive committee at a recent meeting
authorized DR.. Hartigan to equip
the room with the necessary appar
atus; he was at the same time ap-
pointed director of the gymnasium.

nearly all the gymnasiums in the

Hartigan's request and took the
measurements of the room, positions

meanwhile the floor is being laid in
the room and everything will be fin
ished by the last of August ready
for the enthusiastic gymnast to exc
cute his wonderful feats before an

A dental office has generally been
regarded as q place OF torture only to
be visited after days of suffering
from an offending tooth but a New
DOMINION representative found man
in DR.. Hawthorne's Office Monday
morning as happy as man could
well be under any circumstances.
The gentleman was Mr.. G. NJ. Al
bright, prominent merchant Of
Kingwood.
"Why do you seem so happy
where others are won't to be sad,"
the scribe asked. "Have you found
that you need not have your tooth
extractedY'
"My dear sir, no l have just had
seven teeth taken out with no more
pain than have frequently suffered
when being shaved. / tell you DIR.
Hawthorne has gotten hold Of one
of the greatest discoveries of the age.
By using it the tooth is extracted
without any pain at all and there are
no bad after effects. j shall bring
my wife in to have some teeth cx-
tracted the first opportunity, and, l
tell you sir, if he would come to
Kingwood he could just get all the
work he could do"
The new preparation which DIR.
Hawthorne uses and which caused
Mr.. Albright to go into such ecstacies
is local application for the gums
called Odontunder, which enables
the teeth to be extracted absolutely
without pain and without any un
pleasant effects afterward.

STOLEA FLOCK OF SHEEP.
He first Got Away with the Fleeces and
Then Concluded to take the Flock.

Tuesday morning Dawson Ebbert
was busy hunting an officer in I'm
iontown to arrest Edward Rankin
of Wharton for stealing a flock OF
sheep in which Mr.. Gilbert had an
interest Officers were scarce but
Mr.. Gilbert finally succeeded after a
lively chase in securing Rankin.
The information was made by Ran
kin's father, David Rankin, and
charges young Rankin with stealing
a flock of from 20 to 30 sheep which
were worth from $3.50 to SO per
head. The sheep were owned by
the elder Rankin and Messrs. Eb-
bert and Johns and were taken from
the farm of Rankin last Saturday
and sold by the thief to Noble Nc
Cormick the butcher. 1t is charged
also that young Rankin stole the
wool from this flock some time ago
and sold it to dealer George Roth of
Uniontown.
1t is said that young Rankin has
been an associate of the Cooleys and
but recently he was in Jail for forging
a note for $72 on Enos West of the
mountain. This note he sold to an
other party for $50. His father
made this and some other losses good
and says that he can do no more to
keep his hayward son out of trouble
He will let the law take it's course
and the young man for his many
crimes, apparently has long siege
of Imprisonment before him.

MISS MAGGIE DOLLIvER'S
Eyesight Restored After Ten Weeks Of
Treatment In Hospital.

The following dispatch from New
York will be read with interest by
many people here as the Dolliver
family were formerly residents of
Morgantown.
New YORK, July 2S.-Miss Dolli-
yer, sister of Congressman Dolliver,
of Iowa, was discharged from the
New York Ophthalmic Hospital at
Twentv-third street andThird avenue
few days ago, having experienced
a somewhat remarkable restoration
to sight after total blindness which
had affected one OF her eyes for near
ly year. 1t is said that only one
similar instance is recorded in med
ical annals and that it was the case
of Governor Lucius Robinson of this
State, who was affected the same way
and was successfully treated in the
same institution.
Miss Deliver about year ago was
opening bottle of ginger ale, the
cork from which flew out and struck
her in the eye, inflicting an apparent
ly slight injury, but considerable
pain. She was treated by local ocu-
lists and it was supposed she had en-
tirely recovered. Some time after
ward she found that her left eye was
wholly bereft of sight. Miss Dolliver
was kept in recumbent position in
a dark room for ten weeks and final
ly the retina flowed back and once
more attached itself to the choroid
