Advice to First Ward Parents.

Editors West Virsinian:
The Board of Health and the Board
of Education believe that the only
safe course for the pupils attending
school in our ward, is for them to be
vaccinated. The physician of the
Board of Health ought TO know. If he
doesn't know who does? He is
in the hest position to know. In such
matters we must trust some officer
to decide what is best for the public
health and the health officers should
be best informed.
Several patrons refuse to have
their children vaccinated and SO the
children are losing the benefits of the
school. When they return they will
and will lose their promotion. This
is discouraging for the child and
causes him TO give up school at the
first chance of job and so Injuries
him for life.
Another thing. suppose the children
are kept out until this situation is
over and then come back. Fairmont
is now city and located mere IN the
coal region where people are constant
ly coming from all parts of the coun-
try. 1t is almost certain that this dis
ease viii be brought here again in a
short time and then several will be
exposed, and this thing will be repeat
ed.
Would it not be better for each par
ent to consult reliable physician as
to the safety of vaccination for his
children and then follow his advice?
In all the larger cities no child enters
school until he has been successfully
vaccinated. Tie principal will take
record of all who have been sue
cessfully vaccinated and they will be
relieved of future annoyance in the
matter

The Castleton Opera Company open

BALL WILL BE IN
PENSION Bull DING
HOUSE COMMITTEE YIELDS TO
SENATE AND TO PUBLIC
SENTIMENT.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Jan. r.
The inauguration ball Will be held in
the Pension building on March 4.
The deadlock between the Senate
and House as TO where the ball should
be held was broken when the House
Committee on District of Columbia,
withdrew its opposition to the use of
the Pension building. and by unan-
imous vote decided tos report to the
House resolution to adopt the Sen
ate bill granting the use of the Pen
sion building 10 the inaugural com
mittee for the inaugural ball on the.
night of March 4.
Sometimes before the holiday re-
cess the Senate passed a resolution
building for the ball. but when the
bill went to the House Speaker Can
non and the members of the District
Committee opposed its passage, and
decided that the ball should be held
either in the Library of Congress or
the Capitol buildings. The Inaugural
ton committee showed to members
of Congress that neither of these
buildings were either adapted TO or
large enough for the bali, and began
work among the members of the
House to influence the committee to
withhold their objections to the use
of the Pension building.
This work during the holidays
seems to have been most effective,
for since Congress reassembled last
Wednesday the members of the
House have shown their displeasure
at the action of the District Commit
tee IN opposing the Senate resolution,
and many of the members have been
open in their opposition to the use
OF either the Capitol or the Library
of Congress for ball purposes. One
old and influential member emphati-
cally declared that he was opposed
Ito turning the Capitol of the Uni
ted States into a dance hail." and he
would fight any resolution granting
Others spoke as earnestly against the
Library of Congress. The inaugural
ball committee during the holidays
Went TO work making the plans and
preparations for holding the ball in
the Pension building, for they saw
how the tide was turning and knew
that Speaker Cannon and the District
Committee would have to back down
from the proposition to use either
the Capitol or Library of Congress
for the ball, and now they are ready
TO complete their plans as soon as
the resolution granting the use of
the Pension building is passed.
The matter will come up in the
House on Monday next. The amend
ed resolution granting the use of the
Library or the Capitol building is on
the Speakers table, but this will be
allowed TO die there, and Representa-
| tive Morrell, who has charge OF the
resolution for the District Committee,
will move that the House concur in
the Senate resolution granting the
use of the Pension building to the in
| augural bali. This will be carried,
and the matter will be settled, and
the Capitol of the United States will
not be turned into a dance hall
