Letter to Geo. Coleman.
Welsh, La.

Dear Sir: How two men differ! N
Avery, Delhi, N Y, had two houses
painted two ways; the houses alike,
same painter, different paints. One
paint 6 gallons; the other IL.
A dealer there, who was selling the
1s-gallon paint, threw it out and put.
in the 6-gallon paint.
Do you see why? The designations
paint cost less for the job by 6 gal.
Ions of paint and 6 days labor: $40. IS
for paint and s12 to s24 for labor (ac-
cording to painters wages 81 to 81 q
day.
A dealer in paint in Malone, N Y,
was selling this 6-gsllon paint, was
offered the l2.gallon paint for 15c k IS
on the gallon, and took it! To make
that extra 15c gallon, he saddles a
loss of s22.7 u to s34.75 a job on his
customers. What If they find it out?
The people had better lookout for
that $22.75 or s34. Is. whichever it is
we don't know what painters day
wages are there.
The two paints are Devoe and anoth-
er, sold at the same price by he gall
Ion. Will you fgure.out that 12-gal-
Ion paint: what man can afford to
pay for gallon of it?
The answer is (lf you figure it right
taking wages 81 day: A man could
afford to put-on that paint if some
body pays him 12ac gallon; and,
taking wages 81 u day BIZ must get
III a gallon.
Yours truly

SHORT HEALTH TALKS.

During the next few weeks many
people in Virginia will develop ty-
phoid fever. All of these people
will have to undergo long illness
and about one in ten will die as a
result of the disease. The summer
epidemics of the disease usually be-
gin to appear about the first of Ju-
ly, showing that the germs are TAX
Ell into the system about this time.
While some cases of typhoid fe-
YER will develop in a climate like
that of Virginia. in spite of all pre-
ventive measures, yet large ma
jority of the cases can be prevent
ed by the observance of a few SIM
pie precautions. To prevent the
disease, the real causes must be
understood. In plain terms no
person can contract typhoid fever
unless he swallows in some manner
some of the excrement of person
who has or has had the disease.
This is most often done in water
or milk that has been cOntaminat-
ed with the germs from typhoid
case, but the excrement may be
carried to the food, or either direct
ly to the mouth on the feet of flies
that have fed upon it. Sometimes
the disease is contracted by eating
raw fruit or vegetable that have
been soiled with the germs, or oys-
tiers that have come from polluted
waters. Those who nurse cases of
typhoid often contract the disease
by carrying the germs into the
mouth on the fingers. which they
have failed to wash after waiting
on the patient.
The two danger points in the
country ase the we'll and the dry
closet. If these are safe-guarded
the danger is rendered much less
formidable. Information regard
ing these points is contained in the
publications of the State Health
Department at Richmond; and will
be sent free of charge to anyone
asking for them.

WILD WEST SHOW.

-the-railroad districts are in q
position to appreciate a good show,
or one with good features enough
to commend it. Managers do not
have to depend upon the small
boy for interest and enthusiasm
because those who, from time
to time, have opportunities of see
ing the enormous city aggrega-
tons, find it too long between, and
enjoy the diversion to the full.
A branch of King Brothers show,
under Capt. Tom King, struck
Highland on Monday, and, af-
ter a performance at Vanderpool,
pitched their tent on the Matheny lot
Tuesday afternoon, giving Monte
reyans two performances in the are
ma, besides some broncho buster
exhibitions on the street.
The fearless handling of, and fl
nal victory over incorrigible horse.
flesh is the chief marvel connected
with such performances and is es-
pecially interesting when they take
in hand vicious horse of local
reputation and ownership.
On Tuesday afternoon these men
voluntarily subjugated high
strung young horse owned by DR..
Fox, and one that has discouraged
the best tanners of the county.
Their manner OF saddling, mount
ing and eveIlastingly sticking Is
original, simple unsuccessful, and,
if by-stander is able to read any,
thing like fear in the features of
the buster it is fear that his
mount is going too slow and not
doing as many things as he ought
to in order to be real entertaining.
The hour or so in the ring was
enjoyable, many of the perform
ances, stunts, presentations, ETC.,
being quite clever.
We do not know how many 9TH
er points will be made in the coun-
ty, but wherever they 60 they may
look for creditable turnouts.

tOHN f. GUM DEAD.

Mr.. John E. Gum, sheriff OF Bath
county, died at his home at Warm
Springs one day last week
Mr.. Gum was a native OF High
land and resided in the county I'M
til mature manhood. His wife was
a daughter of the late George Bev-
erage, and was born near High
town. Both have many trends
and relatives now living in the
county.
Mr.. Gum was held in high es-
TEEN by his fellow-men while a cit
izen of Highland, and, during the
warm period of REIMBURSEMENT,
made a close run for the clerkship
against Capt. J. C. Matheny.
We regret that we have not the
information at hand to furnish a
more satisfactory sketch of his life.

Chile and Peru. when on Aug. 20, 1850.

boats were lowered, Captain John b.
Deblois going In one Of them. The
mates boat soon struck one OF the
"pod." but the monster instantly turn

overheard Just In time to save their
lives. A moment later the whale bit
the boat to pieces.
Captain Deblois at once pulled In,
picked up the boats crew and sni1ted
part Of them to the second mates
boat. Then both the captain and Sec
ond mate started to attack the whale,
which had been busy meantime biting
at the pieces Of the boat 1t had DE-
stroyed. In the usual course q whale
thus engaged would not have noticed

SLIGHTLY 0YERDRAWN.

The Hinton Independent-Her
SAYS, Through the kindness Of our
friend, Chris Hetzel, we are in pos
session of all the laws of West Vir-
ginia up to date. We have got
everything taxed now in this state
from the nails In our great-grand-
mothers coffin to the swaddling
clothes of the tenth generation yet
unborn. People think Of the bu-
reaucratic system of Russia. 1t is
tame compared to West Virginia
We have a commissioner of ev-
erything now from tarnation to tor
ment. And as for license, a man
must take put license TO die. He
forfeits his estate if he dies without
a license. In order to die q man
must first advertise the fact for
four weeks in two newspapers OF
opposite politics and must have a
certificate from the County Court
that he is of good moral character
and not of Incorporate habits. II
he does not, but plunges hence as
heretofore; his estate is forfeited
under the tax laws. He must also
take out q license every year to be
the father of his own children. The
license tax is $40 year on girls
and $40 on boys. Any man who
permits his children to call him
pap" without having paid the Ii
cense tax is subject to a fine OF $500
and Imprisonment for six months
and the court is denied discretion
And if you get heas on yourself
there is a hunters license to bt
paid before YOU can pick them Oft
| If you have the itch you must takt
out a scratcher's license before you
can scratch yourself. The law says
any man found either scratching
digging, rubbing or squirmlng tn
itch without a State license there
for shall forfeit $40 for the first OF
Tense and $50 for each aubseauen
offense. If you have the toothaeh
you have got to get o license u

YOU must have a license. Thes
are only few things that we hav
noticed in the acts of 1909.
