THE VIRGINIA DEBT QUESTION

Now that the time is st hand for
the nominations of candidates for
house of delegates and the state sen.
ate 1t would be well for both Repub-
lcans and Democrats to exercise
good judgment in the selection OF
candidates, for the members Of the
next legislature will have an impor.
tant duty to perform IN connection
with the Virginia debt question. 1t
is no longer a question about pay.
ing the Virginia certificates, but
how much. The mere fact that the
"west Virginia certificates" have
jumped from SC to aoc In Wall
street is conclusive evidence that
Wall street has information that
West Virginia will have to pay.
1t has leaked out that the matter
has reach the stage in which those
holding the certificates have asked
west Virginia to agree to a compro
mise. IL those acting for West Vir.
ginia agree To a compromise the
legislature will have to ratify IL.
However the Virginia debt question
Is settled there is no one of this
generation who will be living when
the debt is paid. Therefore. IL
should not be necessary to call at.
tention TO the impo rtauce of evcry
taxpayer going to the primaries and
voting FOR men who can be trusted
and are in sympathy with the peo.
pie. This is not political qles-
ton and on this issue both Repub-
licans and Democrats can join hands
and stand shoulder to shoulder.
We hope our Republican brethren
ia Preston realize the gravity of the
situation and will interest the mselyes
enough in the coming primaries to
see that none but true and tried
men are nominated. To our Demo.
cratic brethren IN the Democratic
counties we charge them to guard
zealouSly the interest of the people
in the selection of their candidates
for The legislature. This immense
burden will fall equally upon Re
publican and Democrat. There is
no room for us to quarrel on this
subject. All we can do Is to sym.
pathlze and cohdole with one
another. Some one is responsible
for the mudde into which the Vir-
ginia debt has gotten us.

How. to Make Teeth eIister.

To make the teeth glisten. besides
making them white, brush them every
morning with warm water, a fairly
stif brush and a good dentifrice, says
the Cleveland Leader. A good dentI-
frice Is an absolute necessity to keep
the teeth pure. After they have been
thoroughly cleaned go over them with
a solution OF water and peroxide. and
the teeth will gllsten beautifully un-
less they are In an unhealthy condi-
tion. Cleanliness cannot be accomplish
ed with an old water soaked tooth
brush nor one which is used constant
ly. Have two brushes, and when one
has been used for a couple OF days
wash It In carbolic water and lay Il In
the air and sun for two days. Car
bolic water Is made by putting two
drops Of carbolic acid I'm a pint OF boil
Ing water. When the brush becomes
discolored on the back throw Il away.
lf your teeth are close together use
dental floss. In the East Indies, where
fine teeth are the rule, the charcoal OF
the betel nut is used as n tooth powder.
IL is smooth and alkalescent.
