THE hearing in the Virginia-WeSt Viz

because one of the counsel for Virginia,
or, rather, the New York syndicate that is

OF crookedness in a case in New York
with which he was connected. This IN

in this steal-the most gigantic Swindle

Sunbeam Hall for Women" as the la
dies have named the rest house that they
have established on Main street, Sgrow-
ing in usefulness and popularity. Every
day tired people from the country or from
other towns enjoy its comforts or find a
safe and pleasant place for their children,
and it will be more and more appreciated
as the people come to know it better. So
far as we know, Shepherdstown is the
only place in the State that has such an
establishment, and visitors from other
sections wonder at the thoughtfulneSS and
good feeling that has inspired the people
to provide this convenience. Those in
charge of Sunbeam Hall have still further
plans for the public benefit.

Observer hopes that everybody in the
community will assist Mrs. Phillips in
her most laudable efforts to write the
geneaogy OF ShepherdStown families.
Too much of our town history has been
forgotten long, long ago, while several OF
the families that once had an influential
and honorable part in our town life are
now without a single descendant here.
Mrs. Phillips work is timely, and her
proposed publication cannot but be OF the
greatest interest. She has gotten already
many valuable facts together, and with
the new material that she has in prospect
and the help that will be given her by
our people, she will be able to save
many Shepherdstown families from being
forgotten. The church records OF the
long ago are valuable sources OF informa-
ton, and run away back into the
eighteenth century What wonderfully
interesting facts about old Mecklenburg
and Shepherdstown could now be
obtained if Our forefatherS had been bet
ter recorders and historians!

AnrmI.ss Coffee Wanted.

A number OF cX. eriments have been
carried out with the object of prepar-
ing a caffein free product from the
coffee seeds. \ satisfactory result
was obtained by certain methods
which aim at suhiecting the entire
raw seeds to a procedure by means
of which the caffein salts are decom-
posed and the seeds are rendered
amenable to subsequent extraction
with a volatile solvent of caffein. This
procedure Is at present employed in
Bremen and In Mannheim, Germany.
Nature has produced a plant free
from caffein, native of Madagascar
and Reunion, but unfit for use on ac-
count of it's bitter principle. Graft

a woman owed 1t to herself to make
the most of her looks. According to
some people, advised every woman
to lay on powder and paint with a

such advice, of course. Such advice,
coming from the pulpit, would have
a strange sound-as strange sound
as the talk of the minister's parrot.
"a certain minister called on an old
lady, and found a new parrot in her
parlor. This parrot kept saying every
little while:
"T wish the old girl would diet
"The minister turned his head to
conceal smile.
"'But l think l can set this mat
ter right for you, dear madam he
said. I, too, have a parrot, as you
know. 1t is very honest bird. Its
talk is very edifying. I'll send it hero
and 1t will soon guide your own parrot

ing. The grateful old lady put the
birds side by side. Then with pleas
ed smile she prepared to listen to

THE ARTERIES.
They Are Liable to Become Harden.
ed in Old Age


"a man is as old as his arteries" ,"
was said some time ago by French
physician, and the saying, like so
many others of the phrase loving
French, has a good deal of truth in
it and little error.
There is many a man, old in years
but young in spirit, whose arteries
are like pipestems. So brittle do
they seem, indeed, that the physi-
clan hardly dares feel the pulse lest
he crush the friable artery under
his finger, yet these, old people are
active in mind and body and seem
often much younger than men of
but two-thirds their years.
Again, one meets old and feeble
folk, whose lives seem to flicker
dangerously, like a candle flame in
draft, whose arteries are as soft
and comprr sri0,e as those of a
child.
In genera however, the saying
is true, and specially in premature
old age it will usually be found that
the arteries are hard, with fibrous
thickening, if not already more or
less calcified. Hardening of the
blood vessels -arteriosclerosis is
the accepted medical term-consists
in flbrous overgrowth of the walls
of the arteries, usually following
more or less degeneration of the
normal tissues of the vessels. AS
to just how this comes about physi-
clans are not entirely agreed. 1t is
probable that the change occurs
first in the very minute vessels, those
that run through the walls of the
larger vessels supplying them with
blood for their nourishment. When
these are hardened by the deposit
OF tibrous tissue they carry less
blood and carry it more slowly,
and so the nutrition of the walls
of the larger vessels is reduced.
This leads to softening, and then
nature tries to repair the uamage
| by the only new tissue at her hand
namely, fibrous tissue.
Later these fibrous and thicken-
ed walls of the larger arteries may
be hardened still more by a deposit
of lime salts from the blood
The arteriosclerosis so common
in old age is the result of "weaI
and tear" An tube dilated by
hydraulic pressure and then con.
tracing 10000 times a day will
have done much work by the enc
of seventy years. In younger life
arteriosclerosis is most commonly
caused by intemperance-not II
drinking only, but In eating, espe
cially meat eating, without enough
exercise to consume the excess o.
nutrient material. Overwork
worry, and chronic poisoning, suci
as lead poisoning, are also factors.
The best thing for arteriosclerosi
is not to get it, and the best wa,
not to get 1t is to be moderate il
everything. People growing ole
should be examined medically ever,
six months, and then incipient ar
teriosclerosis may be detected anC
perhaps arrested by proper diet
drugs and regimen.-Youth's Com
panion.
