To Preserve the Hair.

| Avoid tight-fitting hat aud collars,
also close fitting caps, unless these be Of
some porous material. The two former
prevent due supply of blood TO the
parts, hence the hair papillae are put,
a. it were, on short commons all the
time the hats and collars are worn.
The caps engender calOric, which sets
up irritation, and ultimately that most
stubborn form of dandruff, namely,
pitytiasis !. e., 4 brauny powder
Note that ali headgear which i not
porous should be ventilated al top and
sides to allow "A free current of air.
>. Never sit OF stand, with the top Of
the head near gas light or lamp light.
The heat thrown out is apt to paralyze
the scalp tissues and dries UP the hair
itself
5. Don't wash the head oftener than
once fortnight, when first rub in the
yolk of an egg, and thoroughly rinse
out with warm water, into which has
been thrown a pinch OF borax- Dry
carefully and apply little pure olive
oil.
/. Beware Of the common practice of
dipping the comb in water when ar
ranging the hair. Ii promotes decom-
position ani rancidity ofthe natural oil
and - leads to ''TOtting.'
''If the hair he naturally dry, apply
little olive oil occasionally. If nat
uralIy oily occasionally wash away the
excess OF sebaceOus secretion by means
Of 4 lather or tepid water and soap barH
tquitlaya saponarial.
Is. Salt water i most injurious 70 the
hair, for which reason when sea bath
ing wear an oil cap.
:. Always treat the scalp as if YOU
loved it, Take to heart DIR. Godfrey's
dictum that Every touch affecting
81 delicate n texture as the scalp should
be soft and soothing every application
bland and mild" Don't Use stiff
bristled or wire brushes, and in all cases
brush gently. Also, always brush out
the hair before attempting 10 comb il,
and Use tine comb as little as possible.
S. Have the ends Of the hair clipped
once a month, if only 10 prevent them
from splitting. But don't clOse-erop.

How to keep potatoes and prevent
them from sprJuting i an important
matter, a. it will largely influence the

acid in Il galloIs of water, then dries
them. Another method i 20 du-; each
layer of potatoes with lime when they
are put in the bin. The cheapest and
best method is to expose the potatoes to
the fumes Of burning sulphur in close
chamber or box, for half an hour. such
potatoes are not suitable for seed, how
ever.

Holiness History School Re-
port,

10 the Elt9r Of the Herald.
The article and comment upon it il
the last issue OF the Herald, advoca
ting the elimination of Holmes his
tory from our public schools, meets
my hearty concurrence. The history
is too sectional in its makeup for this
day and generation, and it is true what
the Herald says, it is too English. II
is a dry and dull history to read.
There is nothing to appreciate; it gives
no inspiration to the reader. tits by
no means the equal of the spicy read
ing the scholars find in Barnes his
tory; this history creates an enthusi-
asm in the reader. 1t is superior to
Holiness in every particular. Elimi-
nate it.
Our school is very small, but its
goodness is equal to its smallness
Oar building fine. You can see beau
ty, health, and longevity in the face
OF every scholar, but it could not be
otherwise. The waters here are good
for the healing of the people, and the
air is SO free and pure. These scholars

The sENAToRsnIp.

Two weeks ago the Herald publish
ed the fact, obtained from personal
interview with Judge Golf himself,
that che is not now, has not been, and
will not be a candidate for the position
of United States Senator at the coming
session of the Legislature.
On Thursday of this week the
Wheeling Intelligencer has the same
information from party who saw the
Judge at his home in Clarksburg.
The Herald is proud of the fact that
it was the first newspaper to publish
an authoritative statement from Judge
Goff that he would not aid the enemy
in their scheme to disrupt the Repub-
lican party and change the glorious
victory achieved in November into a
most disgraceful defeat, and that, too,
two weeks in advance of any other
paper.
No other act of his life, which has
been file with glorious achievements.
will do so much to intensity the love
and admiration of Republicans for the
gallant leader of other years as his
manly conduct on this occasion.
The duty of every Republican mem
Der of the Legislature is perfectly
plain. Mr.. Elkins is the choice of
nine-tenths of the party for Senator
and any opposition would be looked
upon as an effort to gain notoriety at
the expense of party lealty or to give
aid and comfort to a disorganized and
defeated foe.
The canker of faction must not be
allowed a place in the ranks of the
party. Broadminded craftsmanship
must rule the hour at Charleston
The people look to their representa-
tives to supplement the noble work
done at the recent election and will
hold each and all to strict accounta-
bility. One of the first things de-
manded is the election of Stephen B.
Elkins to represent them in the Sen
ate Of the United States.

able to clothe great and small it is be-
cause they want to go in rags andtat-
tiers, which he will not allow if called
upon.
They do say that II. T. Cushwa &
Bro. have the largest stock of hard
ware, paints, oils. glass. betting, and
sporting goods in the city. While we
profess TO know some things We shall
not attempt to decide that point.
1t was no trouble, however,to arrive
at the conclusion that Burdette's is
the place the girls most admire. Go
there when you will and they 0he
girls) are there and they always spend
nearly all their money ere they leave.
The Wilens, John and Will, are not
SO very old but their house dates back
to lS45. That was before they were
born, hut their father used to supply
house furnishings to the newly mar
ried and then when collins were need
ed he always had one that was per-
feet fit. Living or dead, there's the
place all can be suited.
c. H. Wolfes is hustler and
mere Whit of the snow burdened air"
fills his mind with visions of steam
and hot water heaters. which are a
match for the insinuating wiles of Jack
Frost.
c. P. Herring is too we'll known to
Herald readers by reason fthe fact that
theyfrequentlyhear from him to require
any special notice except that he al
ways keeps great variety Of bargains
in stock which can be had for the ask
ing.
P. E. Deatrick & Co. have a repu-
tation of which they are proud and no
wonder as their shoes are good wear
ers, very stylish, and are sold at reas-
enable prices.
L. I. Sprinkle was then in his glory,
but is now in the Market House 1t
was force-put with him. Fire put
him out but could not repress him. He
must and will sell groceries and buy
produce
Up near the c. V. Depot S. S. Eel
ker has grocery store which is con-
tinually thronged with customers.
Moral.-He advertises in the Herald.
The above are among the very best
houses in the city and with the four
hanks offer an array of solid business
capacity of which any town might
well be proud. But they are not all
by any means. Some of these days
we shall call attention to another fifty
of the live men and firms of our thriv-
ing city.
The business cards of these men and
firms, together with that of Constable
WIN. Hollis, the noted collector, made
it possible for the Herald to present
each of its readers with a beautiful
calendar which is not only unique but
exceedingly valuable, just the thing
everybody needs and telling where
anybody and everybody may have his
wants supplied.
Wishing all happy and prosperous
year, the Herald thanks all good
friends for the very loyal support re-
ceived in the past and hopes to merit
the same in the future.

1t is to be hoped that certain Demo
Gratis have at last learned they cannot
use Judge Golf to accomplish that
which they most desire-the disrup-
ton of the Republican party in this
State. And those few Republicans
who like to be heard for their much
speaking, would it not be well for
them to notice whence they are drift
ing. The people of this State have de-
creed that Hon. Stephen B. Elkins
shall represent them in the Senate and
ere long the eyes of the blind will be
opened to the fact that higher honors
await Judge Golf.

Another revolution of the earth in
its orbit has been accomplished and
we are now fairly launched upon the
last half of the last decade OF the CEN
fury. 1t was Inoinentous year.
Much history has been made. The
briefest possible epitome of the great
events of recent date would occupy
more space than is at our disposal
Readers of the Herald are intelligent
folk and do not care for rehash of
that with which all are most familiar
All look to the future. Ifthat is bright
with promise, nothing more is desired
They do not trust it. Having learned
by experience that nothing is more
tickle, everyone is up and doing. If
all do whatsoever their hands find to
do, with all their might, they will do
we'll.
Allow us to assure our friends that
the Herald never had SO promising a
future. Past efforts have been crown
ed with success beyond our highest
anticipations. Much hard. laborious
work has been done. Midnight oil
has been used lavishly. Nothing that
we could do has been too good to be-
stow upon our patrons. The einolu-
ments have not been great scarcely
sufficient to keep body and soul to-
gether-but that is past and as we
now know each other better, that, too,
will be remedied Local correspond
ents have been very faithful. They
have done good work and we earnest
ly hope to have all continue. Two or
three have deserted us but others have
filled their places Arrangements are
being completed which will give us
the best corps of correspondents pos
sessed by any paper in the State.
Every portion of the two counties of
Berkeley and Jefferson, in which TIE
Herald circulates so largely, will soon
be represented.
Entering upon the work of the year
with confidence and strong desire to
be useful to the community, we extend
to all hearty greeting and trust we
may be able to hold our down-stree
neighbors in check and keep them in
reasonable bounds. 1t is a most diff
cult task as they sometimes become
obstreperous, but ordinarily they are
pretty good fellows, five are at times
compelled to give them spanking, it
is for their good and may effect re-
formation, which is consummation
devoutly to be wished.

Prof. Morse, who is also author of a

manufactured by the Pe-ru-na Drug
Manufacturing Company, of Column

medical men and theiA patients as a
specific for la grippe and its sequels.
1t fully proves itself for this purpose,
and is remedial for all bronchial
troubles. Its action is both local and

less. The distinction accorded to it
belongs to no other remedy of which

No matter at what part of the mu-
cous MEMBRANE the irritation of acute
catarrh is located, Pe-ru-na is the only
remedy that will, under all circum-
stances, effect cure. In acute catarrh
the dose of Pe-ru-na is teaspoonful
every two hours during the day, which
will invariably effect cure in from
seven to ten days. In chronic catarrh
Perru-na should be taken, teaspoon
ful before each meal and at bedtime.
This dose should be gradually increas-
ed to two teaspoonfuls at each dose. If
not cured by end of one month write
