1t Will be seen that IN ten cases re-
ductions have been made, while IN five
there have been increases. 1t will al
90 be observed that if every pupil in
the State were to buy every year one
each Of ali the books furnished by the
American Book Company. that con-
Germ would lose but Is cents per pupil,
or but about $4,000. But no pupil
will buy all the books each year, nor
will he buy more than one-fourth Of
them at most, and the average life Of
school books is about three years.
Hence the American Book Company,
instead Of losing million dollars a
year, as Mr.. Morris claims, Will actual
" lose less than three thousand year.
But let us see if the people gain
even this paltry sum. The freight
and retailers commission is cut down
to y per cent and Is paid out Of the
building fund Of each district. This
heavy reduction will render it unprof-
liable for retailers to handle school
books except in very large quantities
in popular districts ouch as Wheeling
and such popular districts are usual
ly Independent school districts, and
hence not affected by the school book
bill. So it is highly probable that
the school children in the majority Of
the public school districts will 90
without school books unless supplied
by some makesbift.
Another false claim made for the bill
is that it provides for the free exchange
Of old books for new. Such, it will be
seen, is not at all the case, since in
most CAGES only comparatively small
reduction is made in the price Of the
new books where an old one is offered
in exchange.
The new measure instead Of being
relief to the parents of the school chill
dren will add much to their burdens
in the general change Of books, besides
creating new ones to be saddled onto
the general taxpayer Wheeling Reg

AS a Matter of Fact,

Lightning Hot Drops is certainly a
grand thing to have in the house. 1t
IS pleasant remedy to use, and is
wonderfully effective in all the minor
Ills of man and beast. 1t is always
ready for external and internal use,
and when sweetened the littlefolks
like it. And it affords such a quick
and complete release from lthe pain
and misery Of woundsaRd acute dis
orders and all sorts of aches and pains
that after we have once got acquainted
with its work we buy it again and
again.
There is nothing lust like it, or
'just as good, made. Lightning Hot
Drops stands alone and unapproach-
able as an internal remedy and pain
destroyer. So don't be coaxed into
buying something else when you have
asked for Lightning Hot Drops, you'll
regret it if you do. The SOC. size holds
p times as much as 25c. size, and
both sizes are worth great deal more
than the price asked.
Lightning Hot Drops cures La
Grippe and breaks up bad cold.
Mr.. Ira E. Brown, of Enon, KY,
writes: Last February my father
was kicked in the temple by mule,
and we all thought him dead sent for
a doctor, and when he arrived l was
applying Lightning Hot Drops to my
fathers wounded temple and head.
The doctor, after an examination,
said he could do nothing for my father,
but advised us to continue bathing
him freely with Lightning Hot Drops.
We did so; my father soon regained
his senses, and is now entirely well.
We only applied three 25-cent bottles.
1 consider Lightning Hot Drops a
most powerful and efficient prepare
ton.

A careful examination Of the meas

fact that the trainers Of the bill, who
claim TO have done 90 much toward
chespening the school books, have, on
the contrary, made an exceedingly
bad bargain, not only for the parents
Of the school children, but for all the
taxpayers

THE Journal is tremendously wrong.
The N. G. w. did not get into difficulty
on account Of cheap rates. There were
two reasons why it was swamped The
first was because its managers neglect
ed and ruined local trade in futile eff
forts to build up a through business
which it was not able to create or
maintain. The second was that its
freight and passenger rates were SO
high that it drove away business abso-
lutely. The B. g. o. and the N. & w.
both traversed the Shenandoah Valley.
The first sold tickets at 2 cents mile,
the other at q cents. Freight rates
were in proportion. Can any sensible
person fail to see which road would
make the most money?
