While razing an old house built
more than hundred years ago at
Morgantown workmen found an old
flask forty-five years old containing
dark brown liquid. Upon investl-
CATION the liquid was found to be
nothing more and nothing less than
the old fashioned bed bug cure. For
tunate it is indeed for Morgantown
that the flask did not contain the
more popularity known brand of bug
Juice for there might have been a
serious riot as consequence.

Why should Thaw be acquitted?
Certainly, not on the ground that
White was libertine. unless 1t is
established that he made advances
to Mrs. Thaw after her marriage.
What happened before the marriage
ought to have no bearing on the
case. and from the standpoint OF
justice can not have unless 1t is used
as having been a factor OF what
caused Thaw's alleged temporary
insanity.

A tuberculosis Hospital.

Not many worthier things could
be done for the sake of humanity In
this State than the establishment of
State hospital for the investigation
and treatment of that great white
plague. consumption. Senator Hicks
of Putnam county, has introduced q
resolution in the upper chamber of
the legislature having for its pur-
pose the investigation of tubercu-
losis hospitals of other states and
the establishment OF like institu-
ton by the State Of West Virginia
and the same has been referred to
the committee on medicine and sani-
tation.
This terrible disease is one OF the
curses of mankind and the most
exhaustive scientific researches have
as yet failed to find positive cure
for 1t. The progress of scientific
medical research and experiment In
the last several decades has brought
to the knowledge of investigators
many beneficial methods OF proven
tion and treatment OF some OF the
most virulent and malignant dis
eases. The discovery of the fact
that the stegomia fasciata is the
principal cause OF the spread OF yell
low fever has enabled physicians
!, and scientists to cope with that
dreaded disease so that many thou
sands OF human lives have been saw
ed. The discovery of the small pox
vaccine and its administration as a
preventative of that terrible plague
has been great boon to humanity.
Hydrophobia has been brought un-
der control. Numerous other death
dealing maladies do not battle the
skill of the physician now as they
did formerly Consumption will
finally be conquered. The sooner it
is the better 1t will be for mankind.
Any movement therefore which
has for its object the furtherance of
scientific research into the causes
and treatment OF tuberculosis. or
consumption. is help toward the
quicker discovery of cure. or
methods of prevention. Even
though this great desideratum be
not attained for years, there is like
lihood of the discovery of new
means of treatment that may prove
wonderfully beneficial.
The State can well afford to spend
some money for this cause. Well
may 1t eXpend dollars TO save hui
man lives. If only one tiny bene-
fetal thing may be discovered TO
help those unfortunate men. women
and children who are stricken down
In the bloom OF their growth and

suffer days. weeks. months and
years slow. lingering. torturing,
emanciating affiiction. the money
Will be we'll spent though It takes
thousands. Ii is not necessary for
the State to plunge into the enter
prise with big jump. erect costly
hospital building and appropriate
hundreds of thousands OF dollars for
the movement. But the State can
afford to establish such an institu-
ton and the sooner the better.
Senator Hicks resolution, or
measure similar to it, should be
passed without dissension by both
houses of the legislature.

If the Highways Were Good Are Held
Back and Go Into the Hands Of the
SpeeuIator.
In many respects there is a certain
amount of crudeness in the different
phases Of our physical condition. This
is more apparent in our country roads
than almost any other, says the Motor
News. The system Of road building
has been faulty as well as costly.
Much expense has been put upon the
common roads year after year. and
still there are seasons when most roads
are in an unfit condition for general
purposes This Is not the fault Of pur-
pose. but Of mode Of treatment Much
of course is due to the newness Of the
country and the constant demand for
labor and cost in making farms, build
ing bridges and otherwise attending to
what may properly be regarded or
prime importance. As the country ad-
yances in other respects the necessity
for good roads becomes more insistent
A few thoughts upon this subject
from a prominent citizen of Michigan
may. not be amiss: IF the common
roads OF the country were brought TO
a condition that would enable farmers
to market their products at all seasons
of the year. the cost of living in town
and city would be greatly lessened,
and discomfort among laboring people
and the operatives Of industrial con
Germs would largely decrease If ii did
not entirely disappear. Why and how
are the two questions which must he
answered
Present road conditions compel
farmers to rush their products to mar
ket as soon as harvested and when
roads are at their best, since by walt
Ing convenient time they may moi
get there at all because of bad roads
This naturally congests the market
forcing low prices, to the great detri
ment Of the producer and without np
preclable benefit to the consumer, be
