Perhaps no class of persons are
more interested in the progress and
success of the new railroad enter
prise than the boys and girls OF
Highland parentage and birth who
are scattered throughout the coun-
try, at school and in business. In
every letter received by parents, or
coming direct to the Recorder,
anxious inquiry is made as to the
latest news, the outlook etc.
This is very natural, and not at
all surprising. Isolation is a barrier
much more calling to young life
than to those who have become &C.
customed to the attendant incon-
veniences and hardships. High
land young people realize, more
than any other class, the need OF
modern means of egrass and in
gress. Many of them are in posi-
tions where comparisons are readily
made and conclusions forced up
on them. Some have left the
old home reluctantly and impatient
ly await the great change, and the
chances which it may offord. Thu n
they may come, and, perchance,
stay, or may come and 60 at will.
Home and loved will be brought
close to the absent, and all may
fall in line with Goth century pro-
gress and privileges. Clear the
track.

HOOK WORM CAMPAIGN

Richmond, Va. Oct. 29.-The
announcement today by John D.
Rockefeller that he had given ST.
600 100000 to a national campaign
against hookworm disease was wei
come news to the State Depart
ment of Health. The Department,
which has been earring on an in
vestigation of hookworm during
the last twelve months, has declar-
ed it's purpose to cooperate with
the experts sent out by the Rock
Teller organization. Every effort
will be made to stamp out the dis
ease from the State.
Health officials today state that
while hookworm has not done the
damage in Virginia that it has in
ficted in other States, it has never
theless been considered q menace
to the State. The work done by
the Health Department during past
summer demonstrated the fact that
hookworm disease is prevalent in
Virginia. Mere than 200 cases
were unearthed by experts of the
health department in a small area,
and other districts were under sus-
picion.
In announcing cooperation with
Mr.. Rockfeller's board, the Health
Commissioner today made the fol-
lowing statement: "Mr. Rockefel-
ler's gift will mean much to Vlr-
ginia in a few years, we confidently
hope to see this disease eradicated.
Our hookworm Bulletin, published
in September of this year, and the
supplementary report, published IN
October, have put the facts before
the people. # they will act upon
these suggestions, they can aid in
the work undertaken in their be-
half by Mr.. Roclfeller's bounty"

A Prompt Replv.

A temperance lecturer was describ-
ing to his audience how his life had
been Influenced by total abstinence.
"You know" he said, that | am now
head Of my business. Four years ago
there were two men In our office who
held positions above mine. One was
dismissed through drunkenness. the
other was led into crime and is now in
prison, and all through that evil drink,
the invention Of the wicked! Now,
what l ask is" he cried, what has
raised me to my present high posi-.
ton"
Drink was the unexpected reply
he received from member of his au-
dience.

Perversity.

Zone popularity Of melancholia,"
said specialist, lis that the victim OF
1t actually enjoys the dependency and
often doesn't want to be cured. once
told a young woman who had this dis.
ease that she must be careful OF her
digestion and eat nothing fried. After
that she tried to eat only fried food.
Not only did she insist on having her
potatoes and meat fried, but didn't
want to eat bread unless 1t had been
fried in a lot of grease."-New York

The Broom at the Masthead.

There still exists very old custom
among seamen of displaying a broom
at the masthead of ships intended tc
be sold to indicate that they are to be
swept away" The custom original
ed with the famous Dutch admiral
Tromp, who when he appeared Off the
English coast hoisted broom to show
his intention of sweeping the Eng
lish feet from the sea. The Eng
lish admiral. replying to this imper-
tinent signal, Immediately hoisted a
horsewhip to the masthead OF his
ship to show the arrogant Dutchman
that he meant to give him drubbing.
For this reason a pennant Is oftentimes
dubbed 1.-THE horsewhip" by seafaring
men. Sea lore. Of course. Is full OF
symbolism, and the broom Is only one
Of many signs used that have q meta
phorical meaning.-London Globe.

When you have a cold the first
thing to do is have the bowles
move. Do not take anything that
may constipate and most old
fashioned cough cures do consti-
pate. Try Kennedy's Laxative
Cough Syrup. 1t drives the cold
from the system by a free yet gen.
tie action of the bowels; it stops
the cough, it is pleasant to take.
Children like it. Sold by X. H.

LOCAL CONDITIONS AS
THEY SEEM TODAY

1t will be two weeks tomorrow
since the saloons were closed, and
the sale of liquor was abolished in
Staunton. 1t is a bit previous to
form conclusions as to results-rad-
ical changes invariably tend to Gre
ate radical conditions = but there
are few observations attendant
upon the doing away with the open
sale of liquor, that while premature
perhaps, are interesting neverthe-
less.
Since the morning after October
21,-the morning after the closing
no drunk" has been arraigned
in the Police Court. This is not
meant to imply that drunkenness
has become extinct in Staunton,
but rather that visible drunkenness
has quite visibly decreased. Visits
to the railroad stations about train
time, or a round of inspection of
the downtown district after night
fall will confirm this assertion.
Without taking the time to exam
inc the records, it is ventured that
heretofore, an average of from ten
to fifteen "drunks" appeared be-
fore the police magistrate every
week. So much for this phase of
the question.
Whiskey is already coming in
from other towns--most of it from
Harrisonburg. 1t is said that the
first day after the town became dry
a package was received from there.
Since, there has been but one, or
possibly two days when wet goods
were not received here in different
quantities. The largest shipment
came on last Saturday, and COM
prised a considerable amount of
drinkables.
AS to the effects on business, it
would be hard to say. The very
conservative head of a Main street
firm one of Staunton's largest es-
adjustments, claims that his bust
ness is off 20 per cent. But others
are more optimistic, and claim just
the reverse.
The extra rush in town through
out the last week before the twen-
tieth was taken by many as sign
that slump would necessarily fol-
low.
That the restaurants, pool rooms
and other businesses which are
largely dependent upon night trade
have suffered is a fact, but the gen.
eral opinion of men who ought to
know is that conditions are healthy,
and that business will soon assume
normal proportions .-Staunton Dis
