NO VACANCIES.

The West yirginian most heartily
endorses the following very sensible
remarks by the Morgantown Post
Chronicle
This IS the stage in the political
anne where the fool friend of each
aspiring statesman Is likely almost
any time of day to nominate him
for congress- Such a proceeding
an the more foolish when the
nomination is made in a district al
ready as ably represented in the
lower house at washington as are
die First and Second West Virginia
districts. Mr.. Hubbard and Mr.. stur.
giss are recognized as among the
strongest and ablest representatives
this stats.hasleyer sent to Washing
ton. In spitesof the fact that they
have Just fairly begun their legisla,
tNe service the work OF both of
them has already attracted atten-
ton. II would be a stupid piece of
political folly to displace either of
them, even II we could be absolutely
aufe Of hnding man equally well
lifted forthe work.
ii would require at least two
terms Of service in the house for any
man 10 achieve a position Of average
usefplnessto his constituents. With
ehch Succeeding reelection his op-
port,inides to serve his district, his
State andfhis country are enlarged.
The men Who do things in the way
Of constructive Legislation are those
Who have achieved positions of
leadership by reason Of long service.
Tile two West yirgintans who are
Just beginning their second terms
have demonstrated their eminent fit
ness iorathestask they have in hand.
They should be left undlsturbed as
long as they are content to serve
their party and the people of their
districts as rspresentatiycs in con-
gfess The suggestion of the names
Of prominent citizens here and there
as their successors is i'll timed. In
nine cases out of ten it is probably
the resnltof some petty personal
crouch On the part of the suggestor.
There are no vacancies to be filled
in the congressional delegation of
West Virginia so far as the First
and Second districts are concerned.

FORGETTING ART OF WALKING
Invaluable Therapeutic Effects of Pc.
destrian Exercise a Discovery
of Recent Hygiene.

Misunderstanding is going out of
fashion; If something is not done it
will soon become a lost exercise" de-
clared a physician who, supporting
the Lancet's contention. afirms that
the ill effects arising from a lack of
healthful eXercise-due to laZiness and
to the motor ear, tube, and other con
v%eniences Of travel nowaday-form
one of the greatest problems of the
moment as regards public health.
Young men are forgetting how to
walk" he added. yet walking is un-
doubtedly the exercise for city men.
However busy they are they can find
the short time daily which is the only
demand this exercise makes. Its very
simplicity makes some people dis
count 1t and turn to elaborate eXer
cises. Yet it is natures exercise.
Zone of the most striking discover
les of quite recent physiology is con-
nected with the therapeutic effect of
walking. The action of walking-not
to use too technical terms-pumps
energy through the frame as Ices no
other means known to science. The
walkers are the health winners, and
It may be said that walking has a
moral effect not less destinct than it's
physical effect.
"A great employer of labor has said
that all his foremen over a long sue
cessiOn of years were country-bred
men, and he attributed their success
solely to the fact that they walked to
their work, with the result that they
arrived beyond comparison more fit
and vigorous. not to add more punctu.
ally, than the TRAINERS

for exercise-Swedish exercises, Jap.
anses exercises. American exercises

their part. But they are rarely regu
larly practiced, largely because they
are dull. and at the best they are no
proper substitute for the natural, and,
1t is now discovered. the irreplacab!e
exercise of walking"

STOP BURYING ALIVE

Gloucester smallpox epidemic of 1896
a child believed to be dead of con

pital to the mortuary. Next day a
gardener passing by the window of
the mortuary heard the cries of the
child. The little one was carried back
to the ward and recovered.
In another case DR.. Hadwen had
been attending a child of three suffer

exhaustion. There seemed no hope of
recovery, and he left the little patient
