Another trip nearly or quite as fine
is one over the Mexican railroad from
Mexico City towards Vera Cruz. passing
through every climate from that of the
colder temperate zone to the heat and

to longevity. A British doctor also says
that the British habit of .tubbing'' Is
not good for the general health. Both.
doctors were speaking in sincerity and
there were no evident symptoms of in
sanity noticeable by their hearers.
The Apostle St. Pail said that cleanli-
ness was next to godIiness and that has
been taught to the young from the era
die to maturity for hundreds of centu-
ries. DIR. Robertson tries to make ~ be-
lieve that those who have learned medi-
cal science are wrong. that modern and
ssncicist doctors were wrong. that the
whole world was wrong. Cleanliness Is
the first requisite Of a gentleman. TN

crmei. medical science TEACHES that in
dirt and filth disease germs Iurk. The
high rate OF mortality in the tenement

Robertson's statement.

TINE NOW TO TELL SANTA

Only few days remain before Santa
CLAUS will be here in all his glory. 1t
is time that the shoppers should get busy
if they expect to cooperate with him.
They should first thoroughly inform
themselves by consulting the advertising
columns of the Daily Telegram, which
are quite extensive Us usual at this sea-
son of the year and then buy from the
many enterprising merchants who ap-
preciate good advertising medium and
place their advertisements, where they
will be read by all the citizens of Oarks-
burg and Harrison county IN general.
Clarksburg merchants have been more
than usually enterprising this year and
there is yet good stock to select from.
Go before the choice goods have been sold
and Santa viii leave his best and rich
est treasures at your heart,istone this

The sforgantown Post intinntcs that
Nlonongalia county may have number
of candidates for the state senatorial
nomination in that district and that pa
per ruther encourages contest of that
kind. 1t appears to the Telegram that it
would be far better for that county to
have but one candidate for that nomi-
nation, utherwis home Republicans
might be so divided that either Marion
or Taylor would conclude to walk Off
with the plum. There WINS lesson in our
old third or fourth reader about the nut

It Is sad commentary on the spirit
of sport in West Virginia, when it be-
comes necessary to chronicle the fact
that the manager of the leading foot
bail team in the state is compelled to
decline the position for lack of financial
support and for the reason that he has
to contribute so largely of his private
funds to keep the thsng going. II looks
like the enthusiasts OF that, brunch of
sport are loaded down with a. penury
