The Booze Question.

The people OF Fairnlont spoke In no
uncertain voice on the liquor question
ut the late city election and 1t would
seem that the council was composed of
gentlemen of the right mettle to see
that the will Of the people Is carried
out. Nevertheless there are few
thoughts along this line that are worth
considering. First. 1t Is to be Hoped
the county court will heed the many
petitions and not grant any licenses In
this county. Any one with half an
eye can see that II licenses are to be
granted at all they should be allowed
only In towns with m efficient police
force. II We had saloons In small I'M
protected places the very worst ele-
ment would come ont from the towns,
fill up and then with no restraint turn
+. THEMSELVES loose. so to speak. and be.
come a dangerous menace to the com.
munity.
Another thing to be noticed Is the
drug stores. This point was called at
tention to lately by the editor. We
have heard some respectable citizens
!. declare that they had known whisiey
+, to be sold at every drug store in Fair
mont entirely without the formality
of n prescription. 1t is claimed thai
while some Of the drug stores are
worse than others, yet not one is limo
cent. and we have heard it stated by
people who claim to have been eye
witnesses OF what they describe tln'
they have seen persons buy whiske,
in certain drug stores by the slnss
just like n saloon. We hope SINGER ell
that public opinion will be strong
enough to put stop to such practices

MEDICINES DERIDED IN THE
TREATMENT OF ASTHMA AND
TUBERCULOSIS
In the Worldwide Movement Against
Consumption Prompt Action 90
is Advocated.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-In the treatment
of consumption neither the physician nor
the layman seems to recognize the early
signs. The fault lies in the prevalent lazy
habit of treating symptoms only and fall
ing to make a diagnosis.
The consumptive suffers from malaise;
he is given quinine. He suffers from pro-
tracted cold. with cough; he is given syraps
or a syrup mixture or c~reosote or cod
liver oil connections. He suffers with
asthma; he is given a favorite digestive
mixture. No diagnosis is made. The lungs
have not been suspected.
To prevent the spread of consumption
and to offer an opportunity of a cure to
those afflicted, the American Bureau at
Third avenue and Tenth street, New York,
will send free to all who write for 1t a
treatise on consumption and asthma. giving
DR.. Hoffs method Of treatment and i'm
portant knowledge that will prove ad-
vantageous to the patient and the doctor.
CONSUMPTION is not inherited, and there
fore the doctrine OF hope must be preached
to those afflicted.

NATIONAL CITY BANK MOVES
Seventy Millions In Cash and Five
Millions i'm Securities
Carried Across Street.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Bmployes of the
National City bank this afternoon trans
ferred &c ,00o,0 1000 in currency and nearly
500, 00O.0 900 worth OF securities from the
banks temporary quarters across Wall
street to the new bank building formerly
the old customs house.
There had been no indication that the
transfer of this immense aount Of cash and
securities would be attempted at this time.
On the contrary the bank had let 1t be
understood that while the employees would
shift their quarters today the contents of
the vaults would not be disturbed until
Sunday. Thus it was that Wall street was
k by surprise when, not long after
banking hours were over, a squad of police
men formed a double line across the street
and between two ines OF blue coats, a
procession of the banks employees began
to march to the building, carrying small
safes, chests, boxes and bags. in which the
wealth of the a n had been placed for
the transferring process.
Two employees were detailed to carry
each package. One of these pairs carried
several millions Of dollars in $40 notes.
Close behind each couple walked a plain
,lothes man and 1t was remarked that each
detective carried his right hand in his oveS-
coat pocket.
The money and securities as fast as car
ried across were slipped into places al
ready prepared. All was quiet and or
derby.
The National City bank will open its
new building, completed in equipped form,
for business Monday morning.
The Dime Savings bank in Brooklyn also
changed quarters. In automobiles $50, O00. 900
In cash n securities was moved.
