Nssionsl Guard Of West yirsfnia.
The annual encamnment Of the
West Virginia National Guard will be
held this year by regiments. The First
Regiment will camp ri Morgantswn,
July 20 to 81 and the Second Regiment
viii camp at parkerspurg for the same
period.
The enthusiasm AMONG the mem
bers Of Company @Fs il Mt the top Of
the notch. The boys are drilling hard
to get into shape for their annual out
ing. The new bus dress uniforms
have arrived and being issued. II IL
the finest uniform the Guard has ever
been equipped WITH, and the boys Will
present fine appearance when they
turn cut in them which will doubtless
be done some time in the near future
before they go to camp.
The State and National Govern
ments have been doing more for their
citizen soldiery within the past few
years than ever before until now each
company in tile Guard Is armed and
equipped the equal ~ any company ~
the regular army. The National Gov
eminent has been especially liberal IN
appropristing funds for the ammunit-
len to be used at target practice. West
Virginia will shoot over $4,000 worth
this year.
AS this company will be unable to
| finish the targets ia time for rifle prae-
lice. Company sF" will be sent to the
fine rife range at CaddeIi, w. Va,
near Kingwood. Tits camp will be
designated Scamp Dawson This Is
one sf the finest ranges in the country
and was recently purchased BY the
State and is the same one the team
from this company shot over last year.
The iron targets for the home range
have arrived bat Will not be Installed
until later Ia the summer.
Our local company will goto rifle
practice and camp with The maximum
sumber allowed by law and will no
doubt cover themselves with glory
and mud, too, If the weather Is to be
like II Is at presently
Although but one year old, this COM
pasy has won for itself an enyiabIe
reputation. II is composed Of the best
young men Of this city and vicinity
whose genilemanly behavior and SOL
dierly bearing have won for them a
good reputation not only in their
home city but throughout the little
Mountain State. ii il an organization
tina. one n ay well be proud Of being a
| member and one Ia which Greater
Aartinsburg should feel jlstifiablc
pride. Doubtless Ia the late summer
OF early fall another con pany must be
IA ustered into service here.
A great deal Of attention has been
given lately to extended order drills at
which blank cartridges are used, thus
giving 1t the sound aud appearance OF
the real thing.
Next year the West Virginia Ma.
tlonal Guards will again go out with
the regulars 10 the National Maneuver
camp which viii likely beiheld either
at Pine Plains, N. X, indianapolis,
Ind, Or some ether army post.

SURE REMEDY FOR HlccoUeHs.
Science at Last Has Devised Cure for
Troublesome CO mpaint.

Did you ever take nine swallows Of
water to cure the hiccoughs? Do you
remember the time some one scared
the hiccoughs away by telling you OF a
whipping due for some meanness?
Well, science has been studying hic-
coughs and caught the 'hiccoughs by
the "nape Of the neck" The nine
swallows OF water had little science
In 1t, and so did the scare cure. The
scientific hiccough cure consists In
pressing down to numbness the nerve
that connects the stomach, heart, lungs
and brain, the pneumogastric nerve,
The pressure partially and locally
paralyzes this nerve and of necessity
the hiccougbing must cease.
Have the hiccoughing patient sit
down and be at ease, with the muscles
of the neck relaxed as much as pos
sible. Grasp both sides of the neck
somewhat toward the back part and
press down steadily and as hard as the
subject may permit for about one min
ute, having the patient work the head
from ST, to side Within about one
minute the nerve will be numbed and
rested and the spasmodic motion will
cease. 1t may require longer pressure
is some cases, but the result is sure
II patience is maintained.

COULD INTRODUCE THEM ALL
one Guest, at Least, at Dinner Party
Who Knew the Host.

In a volume lately published in Lon
don, "Piccadilly to Pail Mall" there is
this queer anecdote of the vagaries of
social life in the capital Some years
ago an eminent parsonage accepted,
or suggested, dinner with a certain
millionaire, at that time compara-
lively unknown. The first guest TO ar
rive, having explained to the butler
that being unacquainted with his host
he would wait till some one else came
who could introduce him, fingered in
the hall. The second was in the same
predicament, as were the third.

Mental Suggestion for Health.

Suggestible as is the conscious mind,
the subconscious is still more so.
Now We know that at least twice a
day we all have brief periods during
which the subconscious is in evidence
and during which therefore, we are
especially suggestible. These two pc
RODS are those Immediately preceding
and Immediately succeeding sleep.
We are then in a half-waking and half
sleeping condition, and any suggestion
offered to the mind in that state is in
some inexplicable way, taken up by
the brain mechanism and realized.
Let the worrier, then, use well these
few minutes at night and in the morn
ing. by saturating his brain with sug-
gestions that make against worry and
that make for peace, poise and nerv-
Gus balance.-Rev s. S. McComb, In
HarDer's Bazaar.

Will Increase "No" Vote.

When Representative Leary of Bur
lington asked the house of representa-
tives If it was not a piece of injustice
to hold up twenty-siX towns to save
Vermont from a state tax, he put a
poser that ought to make the serious
hinder men at Montpelier stop and
think The proposition to take all the
local liquor license fees from the IL
cense towns and turn them into the
state treasury amounts to imposing a
state tax on a community for voting
yes" And no amount of sophistry
can argue around that stubborn fact
That is another blow at local option
that the platform promised to pre-
serve. Here is the option: Vote
mo-, and the law is enforced in your
town for nothing; vote yes" and the
state will insist upon a hand-out of a
few thousand dollars for guaranteeing
the privilege.-St. Adams Messenger.

The writer at one time had an inti-
mate association with an individual
more or less in the public eye in Yer
mont who insisted that all kinds OF
advertising were good. He frequently
said that he didn't care what the
newspapers said about him, provided
they only said something During
the past few weeks the impression
made at the time by this somewhat
unusual theory has been recalled by
the frequent appearance, in the editor
ial columns of the state press, of the
name of Clarence ]. Ferguson of Bur
lington and we have been wondering
whether or not the anti-saloon league
lobbyist takes the same view of news

IS 10 AN UNLUcKY NUMeER2
The Time-worn Hoodoo Knocked Out
by Magical Combination of Letters

Who says 10 is an unlucky number?
mo ]" says Uneeda Biscuit, for hay
emit l thirteen letters in my name,
and haven't been the greatest food
success in the world? Well, guess
SOL"
Whether or not the genius who
coined that famous name, "Uneeda
Biscuit" stopped to count how many
letters 1t contained, history sayeth
not. II he had, it is probable that in
stead of being the greatest hit OF the
age it would have died unknown, and
the soda cracker which the name
made famous, or the soda cracker
which made the name famous, as you
choose. would have gone forth with
more prosaic title. to appease the ap-
petites of the multitude.
Now, after ten years, another gen
ius comes forward with the discovery
that Uneeda Biscuit contains thirteen
letters, and to make his discovery
more startling, he announced it on
the 18th day of the month.
But it's too late the oldtime hoo
doc has been broken, and now one
can safely sit at the table with the
fatal thirteen. sleep calmly in room
thirteen, or be married on the thir-
teenth Of the month.
Uneeda Biscuit has been the great

The skYIark,s SONG.

The skylark of England does not
sing in winter, but in the early days
of spring the great fiocks of these
birds break up. and they go in pairs
TO hunt for places to build their nests
and rear their young II is then that
the song OF the bird is heard in all
It's sweetness While the mother-bird
is sitting ON her nest, her mate often
rises in the air, and with quivering
wing mounts straight upwards so far
that he looks like mere speck in
the sky. And all the time lac pours
forth his rich and beautiful solg, ceas-
ing only as he descends again to the
nest.
