B. so. no BUILD
WATER SYSTEM
And Maintain Here, With
Water Piped From Above
Browns Creek.

Too much time wasted and too
much expense now thinks the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad Company rela-
tive to the question Of getting a
proper water supply from the City OF
Clarksburg, and there is something
doing. It is not known definitely
what that something is, but semi
official statement is to the effect that
the company purposes in the very
near future to, establish and main
tain its own water supply here. 1t
has plenty of ground for tanks and
among the plans under consideration
Is that OF running a line along the
West Virginia & Pittsburg division up
to point beyond the mouth of
Browns creek, which empttes into
the West Fork river. There would
be no expenditure for right-of-way
as the pipe line could be run along
the railroad track; and the water
supply would be beyond the coal
mines. from. which sulphur water
comes, and, 1T is urged that the
splendid duality of water thus pro.
cured as well as a constant supply
would save the company heavy out
lay as heretofore caused by sulphur
water, which eats and trusts the lin.
ings oG'the boilers of the engines. !
During the recent water famine
here the company had to run water
trains from other points which it
found to be quite expensive. and the
latter would be overcome by the pro-
posed water system of its own.
( The company also reasons IT ont.
it is said. that it is forced for Its own
protection to take such a step as 1t
has never been able to make terms
with the city and is more or less
handicapped in the supply 1t does get.

Good Cough Medicine for cbil,rc,

oUN cough MEDICINE Tor Children
The season for coughs and colds is
now at hand and too much care can
not be used to protect the children.
A child Is much more likely to con-
tract diphtheria or scarlet fever when
he has q cold. The quicker you cure
his cold the less the risk. Chamber
iain's Cough Remedy is the sole re-
lance of many moshers. and few
OF those who have tried 1t. are will
ing to use to use any other. Mrs: +.
T. Starcher. of Ripley. w. Va. says,
Il have never used anything other
than chamberlain's Cough, Remedy
for my children, and 1t has always
given good satisfaction" This remedy
contains no opium or other narcotic
and may be given as confidently to a
child as to an adult. For sale by all
dealers. "A 4

THE PRICE OF PEACE,

Anent the approaching session of the
peace congress in Chicago. some inter
esting figures have been compiled
These figures show that the dove of
peace is the most expensive bird IN
the world, its cost being placed at a
hundred billion dollars, which is the
total annual expense Of maintaining
the armies and navios of the world
This expense has been increasing at an
astonishing rate in recent years and
the purpose of the peace congress is
to stop this drain upon the resources
of the nations of earth. Senator car
ter recently stated clearly the case of
the peace advocates in the course of
one of his arguments for postal say
ings banks and kindred measures for
thrift as against extravagant expen-
ditures for armament.
"A sound business relation" he said
can never be maintained with a
reckless or improvident people. He
who spends all and saves nothing be-
trays himself and those dependent
upon MIN, and in the end he will cheat
somebody and blame everybody. The
combined powers of the world wou,d
perish IN an attempt to conquer the
American people and hold possession
or this country Our power to resist
outside pressure is invincibIe But
VINO can forecast the issue OF the
event should a troublesome percent
age or the governed require an in
crease of our standing army to the
relative proportion of the average En-
ropean war establishment? You gem
uemen of affairs are deeply con-
cerned in having prudent rather than
reckless people to deal with. The
government Is interested in nurturing
the devotion and interest of the peo- I
pie In its well-being, and the masses {
are profoundly concerned In the c
growth OF prudence, thrift and pa Nv
-riotlsm.' Mr.. Carter said it was i'm t
possible for existing banking facilities LIZ
o reach the more remote sections of t
ne country. On the other hand. the p
ederal government could accomn,ish s.
MS end through its forty thousand t.
postofflces, with greatI
enefit to the nation
