THEIR DUTY TO THE HOME
MERCHANTS.

Two years ago a man looked at
watches in a jewelers. store, got prices,
and then said: 81 can get the same
movement, in a 2O-years case, at the
catalogue house of -, Chicago, for
less than you ssk."
The man bought the catalogue house
watch, brought it to the jswsler to have
regulated, and several times during the
first year brought the watch to the
same ieweler to have little things done,
all of which be had to pay for.
4 few days ago the watch was at the
jewelers. for repairs. We have seen
some pretty tough looking watch cases,
but this one guaranteed for 20 years
knocked them all out. In two years
about all the gold on it had worn OF.
We have made the owner an offer In
order to get it and have photographed
and show our readers how well catalogue
house watch cases wear.
A man buys q watch from the home
ieHeler and for one year that jeweler is
bound to keep it in repair; but II has
been bought at catalogue house thou
sand miles away, the owner can't get
to that catalogue house in q minute, as ne
can to the jewelers..
II seems incredible to US that men OF
even ordinary intelligence can be so
hoodwinked and deceived as to belle G
for a second that a gold filed watch
with about seventy cents of gold de-
posted upon it, can be guaranteed to
wear for ones natural life time. If
such is the case, then a solid gold case
can be guaranteed to wear several gen.
eralions.
Such a guarantee Is not only pre-
posteIous bat absurd. Yet a Chicago
catalogue house puts into certain size
gold filled watch case guarantee, part
of which reads: "And is guaranteed for
the term of your natural life time"
Who was the author Of "a sucker is
born every minute?'
We frankly believe the man who
deals exclusively with the merchants Of
his own place, not only gets better
goods, but feels thousands times more
content than the one who does not; at
any rate he feel he is doing his duty
to merchants who are paying for things
that be and his family not only enjoy,
but ere benefited BY The Goldsmith
and Silversmth.

HEALTH IN HOT WEATHER.

HEALTH IN HOT WEATHER.
Most people in the towns and cities OF
Virginia view the arrival Of the hot sum-
mer months with dread and spprehen-
sion. Hot streets, hot days, oppressive
nights, headaches, stomach complaints,
lassitude aud ennui are pictured in the
mind as the usual concomitsnts OF the
summer months In this climate.
As matter OF fact, there Is no reason
why anyone in the cities aud towns
should fear the summer. To be sure, If
all rules OF health are disregsrded, and
if 8 person tries to live Ia the Summer
as he would in winter, there Is grave
danger of sickness and physical discom-
fort. But, on the other baod, few COM
mon sense principles, vigorously follow
cd. will insure the city man comfort
able and healthy summer, no matter how
hot the weather may be.
The first essential for good health in
summer is precautions against over
exerlion. No mau should walk during
the hot hours of 3 summers day any
more than is necessary. He should not
indulge in strenuous sports or games
when the sun Is hot, and his should avoid
The sun as much as possible. Walking in
the brOiing sun without ones hat is as
dangerous as it is senseless and useless.
Careful diet is also very necessary for sum-
mer comfort. ' egeiables and fruits are healthy
and nourshing, if taken in moderation, but
meats should not be esten in large quantities.
The prudent man will avoid oyereating in
the summer and will take care to prevent
diarrhea. while keeping his bowels open. Cool
ing. non-alcOhOlic drinks are sometimes help
full, but they should always be used most
moderately.
Next in importance comes the question OF
rfst. While the climate Of Virginia Is not so
torrid as TO demand the complete suspension
OF all work during the midday hours, it is so
warm that none should attempt the hardest
work of the day during that time. The best
plan is to regulate your work so that routine
matters, involving little physical exeruou,
sh uld be performed in,the middle Of the day,
leaving important and eXeriing business to
the morning and late afternoon hours,
Watch changes in the weather and change
your clothing accordingly. If a cool spell
comes on, PIT On more clothes; If an unusual
ly warm spell occurs, reduce unnecessary
clothing to miniIm.
Never forget that good health is good COM
mon sense consistently practiced.

The contemplated visit OF State
Highway Commissioner Charles p.

OF comforting with the county cour,

with interest. Last week Commits.
Toner Light visited Doddridge coun-
ty and much interest was aroused in
the question of better public high
ways There Is a demand in this
county for better roads. Residents
Of the county generally deplore the
fact that the roads are not kept in
better condition and there is worry
almost all the year over the ques-
tion. At times the people get very
impatient hut hope has not diedithat
there will be better roads in the ear

the circumstances that the people
are eagerly waiting to see what the
new road law will bring about and
all are hopeful that 1t may prove ad.

Reports indicate that in most Of
the counties visited the good roads

instances the residents look upon

Non.Partisan Event.

The semr-centennial celebration OF
West Virginia suggested by the
Wetzel Republican. is an idea that is
leaping by jumps and bounds. The
Republican had its last issue full of
heartiest endorsements OF the plaa
and some excellent features Of what
1t should be in character are
brought out, one of the best by
State Senator McIntire, who SAYS 1t
should be non-partisan. Reviewing
the progress of the agitation and
commenting on the suggestion made
by Senator McIntire, the Republican
contains the following editorial:
The suggestion of the Republican
that there should he a state wide
celebration of the semi-centennial of
West Virginia in 1913, has been re.
ceised with liveliest approval. From
every section OF the state come fiat.
tering endorsements of the scheme.

Governor Glasscock is in thorough
sympathy with the movement. and
will soon make some definite state.
ment with regard to state action in
the matter, and expressions OF men
prominent In state affairs. appearing
on another page of this issue, show
that the sentiment In favor of the
celebration Is rapidly gathering in
force.
The suggestion of Senator Mctn.
tire that the affair should be fire.,
from political bias and partisan con
nection is both timely and pertinent
and bears its own. comment. Til,
fifty years of progress made by tn
state is the glory of all West Virgin
ians irrespective of political afilia
ton or partisan sympathy. and to b
carried to a successful eulminatio,
the proposed exposition must be par
ticipated in by all alike, with an in
spiration absorbed solely from stat
pride and loyal devotion to the su
preme destiny of this richly endov
ed commonwealth.
