A woman's back has many

Backache is really kidney ache.

A Prohibition Letter.

Editor Oil Review:
Dear Sir The Prohibition par
ty gave a lecture at VanCamp M.
E. church which was given by
Rev. Farmer of New Martins
vile. This question has been be-
fore the people for 200 years.
What are you going to say or do
on November whiskey or no
whiskey. Whiskey has killed more
people than any or all things COM
bined. Our towns and cities are
corrupted with it. Our elections
have become dangerous. Our
lives are not safe any more. Will
it 60 on in this manner? If you
do your duty as American people
on November 8 you will say emo
whiskey." 1t is the interest of
the American people that this
traffic be put to an end at once or
shortly. Beware of the first drink
one drink calls for another, and
soon you are a slave to it. This
whiskey will eat your stomach
out, then you are ready for your
grave. Then your credit is lost,
your name is below bringing up in
the minds of the people, so we
are never talked of after we are
dead, only "There he is in
drunkard's grave" Every year
$4,000 murders are committed
on account of strong drink. Will
this 90 on or can it 60 on? You
will have a chance to decide this
on November 8. Thousands of
wives are made homeless every
year by this poison-whiskey.
Soon the country will be all in one
saloon if some action is not made
to prevent it. Men become so ac-
custOmed to this stuff that it be-
comes a part of them; then they
must have it. Men are not the
only class Of people who drink.
This stuff is consumed by women
lust as bad as men. | think the
time is near at hand when whis-
KEY will be a thing of the past;
| hope so at least. Every year
315, 900 men 60 to a drunkard's
grave. Can this 60 on? If so,
howe How many minds has whis-
key destroyed in the past year?
Over 10000 men have BECOME
insane from the use of whiskey.
1t does not only destroy the mind
and body, but destroys the peck
etbook to some extent. 1t takes
money to buy whiskey and to get
no good from it. We are a uni
ted people under one flag, under
one government. We allow this
traffic to be carried on. 1t destroys
our young boys. 1t is shame to
a bright and prosperous State like
West Virginia. Will this 60 on?
l appeal to your honesty on this
question. Can a country like this
make any advancement with rob.
berry going on in it, How can it
succeed? Men and women are 60
ing the downward road every day
they know it. but this stuff has
got a hold and nothing can break
people from it but death. Now,
gentlemen, decide this question as
you like. Study it well and de-
eide it for your best interests on
November You can say whiskey
or no whiskey-just as you choose
when you come to the polls on
November 8. Vote the Prohibition
ticket. J. F. o.

A BIG HARVEST OF RATS.
Over 100000 of the Rodents Caught

Within Five Weeks.

over 200,0 rats-2O2, 7S2 to be precise
have been caught at the London docks
within the last five weeks. They have
fallen victims to the official rat catchers,
who visit every ship that comes into
port and do their best to rid 1t Of live
stock of the rodent variety

Why is it that collegeaboys are
invariably the worst boysIwe have to
deal with at church sociables and
affairs of that sort?" asked a promi.
nent member of certain north side
church Saturday. "For myself | can.
not understand it. Yet it is a fact.
Only last night, for instance, our
church gave little supper to the
Sunday school children. Naturally
and properly, too, there was more or
less running about and more or less
noise on the part of the youngsters.
That was all right. But no sooner
had this sort of innocent' fun started
than a crowd of State University boys
began leaping over chairs and throw
ing one another about and we had to
stop it altogether. This is but one of
several instances of this sort 1t
seems hard for many college boys to
understand that boy can be smart
and be gentleman, too. o."-Columbus

 To those who saw Busy lazy" last year the announcement of the coming of George Sidney 10 the Biou next week, cannot fail to be a pleasing one. To those who did not see him it can be given the assurance that the entertainment is a thoroughly good one. Being musical farce in it's style. it's excellence is dependent upon the individual talents of the people employed. For this year Mr. Sidney is surrounded by a company of 45 people. numbering such excellent players as Car rie Webber, Maud Campbell, Louise Mink, Madeline Broughton, Fred Wyckoff, Will liam Maussey Frank Gibbons, Thomas J. MeMahon, Charles Bo Mier, Harry Pear son. Fred Humphreys and Ed. Gilmore. besides a chorus of thirty pretty girls and well dressed young men.
 The fun in the first act takes place in a department store where pretty sales ladies and lazy Mark are the predomin- ating characters. Of course Izzy is the head of the store and as fun and music are the commodities he is offering, this act is devoted to that kind of entertain ment.

ANTARCTIC BLlZZARDS.
So Fierce That It Is Quite Useless to Contend With Them.
 Alaska Scenery.

Dr. Erich Von Drygalski, who was at the head of the recent German antarc- tic expedition. had some trying exper- ences with blizzards. "Try ever so of ten, it is quite useless to contend with them," said he. At but few meters distance nothing could be seen from the ship, so that on one occasion sailor enveloped in a snowstorm in the imme- date vicinity of the ship was lost for hours until the whole crew, dashed to- gether, went in search and fortunately found him. On a sleighing excursion which had headed I suddenly lost sight of the sleigh. although 1t was close be- hind me. When I stopped, the dogs ran up. With much toll we gained the tent, showed the sleigh in to support and steady it and then lay day and night and yet another day and night without the possibility of leaving the tent eight of us in the narrowest space for forty eight hours. Outside the storm ragged and rattled against our tent. which from within we propped up and held fast. Then 1t began slowly to burry itself in the snow and through every rift the snowy blasts made their way In and over our sleeping sacks, so that when, after long waiting, the weather grew better 1t took us hours of hard work to dig out the tent.
 Almost worse were the effects of the bzzards on the ship. Once we had to turn out to rescue the dogs, which were chained up and getting smothered in the snow. as their doeful howlings told us just in time. The gusts swept over the observat ories so that the fioes sank under the tremendous impact. Then the observatories got flooded with water, which, with the steady subsistence of the foes, penetrated from below. Nor was 1t always possible to save the instru- ments, SO sudden were the squalls. The ship itself felt the shocks and under the fearful strain constantly heaved over. In the first of those gales, before we were prepared for them, doors and win dows and all the hatches were shattered and everything inside was as if buried in huge grave. It cost us great efforts to recover ourselves and again to clear the vessel, an operation which had to be repeated again and again.
 Such storms were far from rare. With but short intervals they ragged throughout nearly the whole of May and August. In June and July 1t was a little better, though many such storms visited us in April and again in September. Even in midsummer they did not spare us and one of the fiercest burst upon us in Jan

ing audience, for both have made repu- tations in many of the principal cities of this country MT. Beresford is known as a comedian of merit, whose eccen- tricities and quaint manner of speech have given amusing surprises to all who have seen this delightful comedy. His style of humor is rich and distinctly orig inal, and the rollicking fun that he in- jects into Vincent's play is of the purest quality and leaves every one the better and healthier for having seen it.
 MT. Beresford will have an adequate company in his support, some of the best farceurs of the day being in the cast. The piece will be properly costumed and gowned and the staging will pre- sent novelties new to the votaries of the theatre.
