Legislature.

WHEELING, w. VA, Jan. 20
Mr.. w. b. McMeohen has return
cd from Washington, d. O., whore
he attended the National Pure
Fuod Convention. Mr.. McMechen
is gratified with the Inauguration
of an effort to secure uniformity of
Legislation throughout the States
upon this very important and vital
subject, and believes thut the step
Just taken will reotifY conditions
that have long been an open and
hagrant grievance.
There were in the convention
delegates from 25 States, including
representatives from far off Alaska,
Oregon, Washington and Califor-
MIA.
The object is to have national
pure food law passed at the present
session of Congress, the same to be
adopted and made statutory in ev-
cry State of the union. There are
13 different clauses in the law COW
ering all features of the question,
one of which requires the formula
and ingredients of all proprietory
drugs and food supplies to be mark
ed upon the wrapper or vessel, and
prescribes penalties for violation.
Mr.. McMcMechen will shortly sub
nit the measure to the West Vir-
ginia Legislature and will urge it's
adoption.

Take your time in answering

do not answer at all, but in half an
hour ring up and ask who called
you, and get mad if Central has
forgotten who it was. She has
nothing else to do but remember.
Allow everybody to use your tel.

for complaint.
Bang on the transmitter with a

Whenever you see the manager tell

say that it works like charm.

Many good items of news are
lost to a newspaper every week by
the modesty of the people. Ordi-
narily a newspaper man feels a
delicacy in pushing himself into
the presence of other people to in
quire about who is and who is not
going somewhere, but he often
does it. 1t has been said that a
man who will stop a newspaper
man on the street and give him n
piece of news is the best man alive.

lakes, rivers and canals until he
reached tho Ohio. And he tells
us he has spent now three and
ono half years coming from the
mouth of the Ohio river with his
whale and it has been viewed by
thousands of people in the time.
The exhibition is highly spoken of
by newspapers and all that have
seen it, 1t was viewed while in
Gallipolis by two thousand people.
This is no stuffed whale, or made
up affair, but just as represented
fin-back whale IS feet long,
weighing rs tons when captured.

still moro interesting, as it shows
great skill.
