This is Worth SAVING

The following simple home made
mixture is said to relieve any form OF
rheumatism or backache, also cleanse
and strengthen the Kidneys and Blad-
der, overcoming all urinary disorders,
If taken before the stage OF Bright's
disease: Fluid Extract Dandelion. one
half ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking
well in a bottle and take in teaspoon
full doses after meals and at bedtime
A Well-known authority states that
these ingredients are mainly Of vege-
table extraction, and harmless to use,
and can be obtained at small cost
from any gond prescription pharmacy.
Those who think they have kidney
trouble or suffer with lame back or
weak bladder or rheumatism, should
give this prescription a trial, as no
harm can possibly follow its use and ii
is said to do wonders for some people.

Spread of Prohibition.

Prohibition that prohibits must be
confined TO localities where the senti-
ment is strongly in favor Of prohibi-
ton. State laws that forbid the sale of
Intoxicating liquors are dead letters in
those corners of the state where they
are not upheld by public opinion. A
periodical devoted TO the anti-saloon
interest has figured that through Ioca1
prohibition some 3O,OOO,OOO people, or
more than one-third the population of
the nation, are living without the legal
sale of intOxicants.
In Ohio there are 1900 "dry" town.
ships. In Georgia 1913 out Of 1877 coun-
ties of the State have prohibition
eleven-twelfths OF Arkansas is under
prohibition laws. Indiana has 649
townships and 40 cities where the sale
of liquor is illegal. In Vermont only
"a towns out OF 40 have saloons
Tennessee shows that 1885 out o,
1,S4S towns have shut out saloons un.
der the local option law, and that over
half the inhabitants OF the State live
under prohibition.
In each OF these States prohibition
is considered effective because it is
strongly supported by the sentiment
of the community. In no instance has
a drastic State law brought satisfac-
tory results. 1t is an interesting illus
tration of the effectiveness of home
rule in matters wqich affect restricted
localities.-CleveIand Plain Dealer.

HE SHOULD RESIGN

Librarian Kennedy, after his ex-
posure by the investigating committee
on the management Of the Office of
Librarian, should resign, and if he
fails to do this the Library board
should meet at once and remove him.
and il he board fails to do this. then
the Governor should remove them if
he has the power to do so. This man
Kennedy should not be allowed 10 re
main in Office, as he has proven him
self unworthy. When he is gotten rid
OF the Board should select some Viz
ginian to succeed him, as it should have
done at first. While they are mt it, it
would be good idea to clean out the
entire augean stable and start with a
new broom. 1t would not be a bad
idea to have board that will give
some attention TO the duties REQUIRED
of them, as they go along.

AS EVERY BODY EXPECTED

The West Virginia Legislature has
"set down" fiat and hard on the "Jim
Crow" car bill, recently introduced No
one expected the bill to pass. The
negroes hold the balance of power in
West Virginia, and the politicians are
AFRAID OF them. And yet, the strong
probability is that the negroes as well
as the white people, would approve a
separate car law in West Virginia tbe
same as they do in Virginia
after 1t was put in operation But the
pie counter brigade is afraid to risk a
trial. And so, travellers on railroad
trains through that state must "orin
and bear it, until new era. ushered

The resources and achievements of

Mr.. ROCKEFELLER'S SPLEEN
DID GIFT?

The muniicent gift Of $50. 100000
recently made by Mr.. Rockefeller to
the cause OF education is the largest
ever made by any one individual to a
single object. The income from this
gift alone is greater than that now re-
ceived by all the colleges in ten West
ern states and territories, from all
sources, public and private, and more
than that received by all the colleges
in II Southern Central and Atlantic
States.
Mr.. Rockefeller may have made his
money by dubious means and ways.
but certainly no one can object to the
manner in which he is spending it. If
properly and prudcntly discussed by
the trustees it will be Of lasting good
through all time.

HERE 1T IS AGAIN

The Wall Street Journal and other
New York papers say that there is a
great stringency in the money market,
and this, too, Notwithstanding the fact.
that there was large increase in the
per capita circulation of money last
year. There is still not enough money
To meet increased demands and the
growing volume of business.
In 1896 the howl was sent up that
we have money in abundance, and
what we need is quality, not quantity ,

fifteen years ahead of his time" In
1896. 1t has been about ten years. and

Wealth Without Brains a
Calamity.
Communicated

When you are yearning for wealth,
did you ever stop to wonder if you
could stand il?
Poverty has wrecked the minds of
many. Sudden af1luence has had the
same result.
1t takes a level head TO withstand
the shock of sudden prosperity. Wal
lace Coy, always wanted money. He
tried n lot of ventures that didn't paw.
and finally went into a land specula-
ton; he took in $4,000 in two weeks
and went stork gobbering crazy.
$4,000 isn't much, J. p. Morgan could
put twice that amount in his inside
pocket and forget it.
But riches are comparative. A dol
lar is fortune to a begger, and 25c
looks like great wealth TO the average
boy. Wallace Coy's money seemed
like unlimited wealth. He gave diamond
rings to friends, went to Bluefield and
gave gold watches to hack drivers,
then he was sent to an insane asylum.
The possession of wealth is lauda-
able. Coy's case simply shows that
money without brains to care for it
without mental balance to make good
use of it, is calamity instead of a bles-
sing. W.PP

The Limit of Life.

The most eminent medical scientists

the general accepted Elimination of

termines its duration, seems to be be-

BOSS SLEMP.
> IN ADVANCE

Congressman Slemp has more "pic
eaters" and "pie-hunters' on his hands
than he Fan dispose OF. The dispatches
from Washington say that he is trying
to unload Lucian Gleaves on the peo-
pie OF Norfolk, 10y having him appoint
ed Collector Of the port there. This is
hard on the few Republicans OF Nor
folk that this interlopcr has to be
transferred out Of his bailiwick and
thrust on an unwilling public, simply
to satisfy the Boss" This same tao
ties was adopted by him last year
when he thrust "Bobbie" Blair on the
Richmond Republicans TO make room
for some other here. Such tactics
would put Boss Agnew to shame. yet
Slemp succeeded in having him re-
moved FOR being too much of a boss.
We often wonder If President Roose-
Welt is aware OF this bartering of
Federal offices and gives it his sane
ton, and hopes in this manner To build
up popular Republican party in
the state?

Ambition and ability make for sue

If the digestion is poor, the nerves
unsteady, the blood thin, the weight

Superintendent Eggleston showed him

mittee that the single list was far
superior TO the multiple list for the

adoption after much delay. The other
members who advocate the multiple

one day, at the height of the tourist season,
an American traveller. He carried two suit
cases, which were obviously heavy, and was
plainly weary.

the traveller ignoring him, walked straight
toward the office. There the clerk was taking
his afternoon tea with the air of gloom which
is characteristic of these English function
aries When he saw the American. however,
his face frightened. He put down his cup, and
took the pen from behind his ear. The pro-
fessional smile dawned upon his features; but
it faded, as the American, dropping his bags
upon the floor, said YEARLY:

Suddenly he recalled the words and manner
of the Baron Won Kerber. They came to
him with the vividness of new impression.
He felt for the card in his pocket Baron

This struck Royson as distinctly amusing.
