Best Made.
"In my opinion Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy Is the best made for
colds" says Mrs. Cora Walker OF Por
terville, Calf. There is no doubt
about its being the best. No other
cure will cure a cold SO quickly. No
other is so sure a preventive Of pneu
monia. No other is so pleasant and
safe to take. These Ire good reasons
why it should be preferred to any 9th
er. The fact is that few people are
satisfied with any other after having
once used this remedy. For sale by

seems from this distance that such a
good Republican paper as the West

other convincing argument to US in
this respect is that the alleged news

so much is expected to and does play
into Democratic hands.

SCHOOL BOOK BOARDS.

A very sensible protest has started
among the newspapers of this state
against the present. law providing
for book boards. Every county has
one and every board may select a
different set Of text books, until
there is no uniformity, whatever.
1t does seem that the law providing
for uniform examinations all over
the state furnishes the suggestion
that there be uniformity OF text
books. 1t matters not what county =
teacher takes the examination III he
must submit to the same eXaminu-
ton Others do mother counties, and
the text books are designed to be
taught by the teachers. II their
examination be uniform, why
should not the fundamental part of
their work-thc teaching Of the text
book-also be uniform? On this
question the NIorgantown Chronicle
makes the following pertinent re-
marks, and every educator and pat
ron Of schools should approve them
"The school boards in fifty-fvc
counties of West Virginia, are now
at work adopting books. The boards
will finish their work within two or
three months. Let it be hoped that
they will put conscience into the
business and give the people as
square a deal as possible; for no mat
ter what these boards do, the people
are in for a very shabby deal. 1t is
1.-THE fault of the law which foistcd
Ssuch system on the state, and the
fault, also. to aconsiderable degree,
Of the last legislature, because it had
the power to repeal the law, and did
/; pot do it.
IA more iniquitorls law was never
enacted in this state. The idea OF
shaving ffty-hvc kinds of books used
| in the schools Of one state is ridicu-
'lous and almost criminal. The books
adopted have been usually good
1.-THE fault does not lie in the kind OF
hooks. but in the varieties. Where
the common sense of such plan is
found, is hard to tell.
sThe books used in the public
schools of West Virginia should be
uniform, for schools of the same
grade. Different opinions may ex'
ist as to the manner of adopting
but one thing is certain, there shoulc
Ibe but one system of books, and one
board should select them, and afte1
once adopted, they should remain
in use several years. A change i
necessary occasionally in order to Sc
cure the benefits of new discoverie
land methods; but there is no neet
of fifty-fve changes every four years
with as many extras as the agents o
the publishing companies can brin'
about"

The value professionally and in bust

LOYALTY TO UNIVERSITY.

The Wheeling Register is to be
congratulated for coming to the aid
of the West Virginia University so
strongly, and every newspaper in
the state with education at heart
should endorse the sentiment. The
Register has very aptly put it, and
it gives the Telegram pleasure to re-
produce the editorial with its heart
lest approval:
S'The dispatch from Morgantown
in Sundays Register stating that
ever 1000 students have been regis
tered at the University during the
school year. the largest number in
the history of the institution, will
be pleasing news to all friends of
the leading school of the state. Here
tofore state pride has not been con-
spicuous in a mad rush to patronize
the state school upon which SO much
wealth, time and labor have been ex-
pended. This is not only regretable
but to our diseredit. The Uniyer-
sity is deserving of far greater pat
ronage than it has ever received.
sWhy so many West Virginians
send their children out of the state
to be educated when equal, OF even
better facilities are offered within
her borders is past finding out. The
time was. perhaps, when the Uniyer-
sitY''curriculem, and the standard of
teachers were not up to the require
Haents of parents. But that condi-
ton if it ever existed, is thing of
the past. The student who gradu-
ates OF Morgantown is as well equip
ped for his work in life as the grad
yates of most of the colleges through
out tho country. No doubt there
arc a few special lines in which stu
dents may find higher standard Of
instruction such as may be found at
Yale or Harvard, but the graduate
of the West Virginia University, can
if he desires further knowledge in
some special course, attend such a !,
school later. But for most practical
purposes he will find the education
at the home institution sufficient.
sThere are other potent reasons to
Nest Vjrginians in favor of Nor
gantown. such as low cost of tuition
the moderate expenses attached t
living, the health giving climate ant
what is highly important the excel
Gent moral atmosphere of the place
These are all valuable essentials t.
most parents and students in thu
university course. Again the con
yenience and the minimum expense
of going to and returning home anc
being near relatives in cases Of
emergency are desirable factors.
1.But in our Judgment what i
more important than all else. an'
which so many. seem to overlook un
til too late is the great advantage t
the student, of personal contact ant
acquaintance with the coming in
f1uential citizenry Of the state. L

The work of saving the millinery

UNKNOWN FACTS CONCERNING
EMBOSSED POSTAGE.
Familiar Stamped Envelope the Prod
uct Of the Skill Of One Man,
Henry Mitchell.

Everybody is familiar with the
stamped envelope of the United
States postal department. and every
body most who has used the mails at
all has used such stamped envelopes,
but without any thought perhaps as
to where and how and by whom made,
For 40 years Mr.. Henry Mitchell
has been engraving the plates from
which these stamps are made. When
the United States government wishes
to issue a new set of stamped envel-
opes 1t comes indirectly to Henry
Mitchell of the Studio building on Ire
mont street, Boston. This happens
usually when the pcstmaster-general,
fresh in his office, desires to commem-
crate his term with fresh stamp is
sue. The procedure is brief. The
design is selected, sent to the United
States Stamped Envelope company of
Hartford, and thence to Mr. Mitchell.
The selection of Mr.. Mitchell as the
official engraver of the dies for the
stamped envelopes is an old story to
him now. His service began in 1865.
That is long record in an era of
spirited competition for government
contracts, but the art of intaglio en-
craving is very scantily disseminated.
The output of expert craftsmen in
this kind of work is so rare that If
Mr.. Mitchell were to decline to exc
cute the next design of the embossed
stamp the United States Envelope
company would be put to great exer-
ton to find a competent successor to
him
o.! the wall in the workshop of this
expert craftsman in the Studio
building on fremont street, there is a
large frame containing perhaps 2S or
80 examples of embossed stamps.
They represent, of course, only part
of the issues of the past 3s years, but
in showing the changes of three dec,
AIDES they help nightly to impress
the layman with the longevity of their
makers service
The art of making these dies prop
erly, with Mr.. Mitchell, depends on
making the matrix properly The
matrix is born of small steel block
topped by disk about half-inch
thick. All the engraving is done on
this upper, structure, and it is done
downward. Here enters the difficuity
of the task; the greatest difficulty of
engraving is to cut downward, that Is,
to make an intaglio instead of re-
lief.
When the matrix, or. as Mr.. Mitch
