SAFETY GATES HERE

Castings and long needle-like fin
gers have been dumped by West Jer-
sey Railroad crews on the right oi
way north OF Main Street. The ap-
pliances are to be placed into position
on each side Of the tracks at the Main
Street crossing, and they have not
arrived one minute too soon.
The fingers are called gates by rail-
road officials only. Noone else would
ever think Of calling the articles By
this accommodating name. Gate has
several synonyms, one Of them is "a
barrier" but 1t Is presumed railroad
officials use the word for their CROSS
ing fingers because they clearly relate
to another synony III, beginning"
The shape Of crossing gate opens
the way for a look at the gates OF
glory.

GRADE GIVEN OFFICIALS

A request was received by Mayor
North last Saturday from the West
Jersey officials the grade and lines
OF Franklin Avenue at the point of
the proposed crossing over the COM
pany's tracks. Accordingly, on Mon
day Borough Engineer Clark gave
the matter his prompt attention, at
the Mayors request. 1t is the ex-
pressed intention Of the railroad COM
pany to install the crossing at the
earliest time possible.
Those who are In favor of carrying
through the projected Shore Boule-
ward now have food for their agi-
tatiou; heretofore the uncertainty
about the form OF crossing at this
point has proven to be a hindrance
to even entertaining ambitious ideas.
but now that relief is In sight the
Boulevard supporters are sitting up

What Is Causing the Increase OF Ca

In spite of the best efforts of medical
men, catarrhal troubles are increasing
not only in Shepherdstown, but all
over the country.
Catarrh is germ disease, and to
cure it germ lite in the breathing orr
gans should be destroyed, and to do
this no other treatment has such posi-
tive and beneficial action as Hyomei.
When the mucous membrane is irri'
tated and raw and the tissues weak
ened, there is an ideal lodging place
for catarrhal germs. Breathe Hyomei
and see how quickly it soothes the
membranes, vitallzes the tissues and
destroys all the disease germs, render.

There is no dangerous stomach drug
9ing when Hyomei is used no tablets
or liquid mixtures destroying diges-
ton.
Breathed through the neat pocket
inhaler that comes with every Hyomel
outfit, the healing balsams penetrate to
the most remote air cells Of the throat,
nose and lungs, destroying the catarrh'
al germs so that quick recovery fol-

Gently heard many expressions favor
able to Mr.. Wetzel. and some of the
most prominent men in the State are

political opponents concede that ne
would make an unusually strong can
didate.
As a member of the Legislature for
several terms and as leader of the
Democratic minority in that body
Mr.. Weizel has made record that
commends itself strongly to all the
people. He has been loyal to his
party without sacrificing his fairness
or his independence of thought and
action, and it is this very fairness and
broadness of view that has gained for
him the respect and confidence OF the
thoughtful men of the State.
His political probity, his high per.

fairness make him an ideal candidate,
an it is fitting that the honor shOuld'
come to the county of Jefferson, the
political stronghold of the Democracy
