Fairniont is fast coming to tile
front as convenient manitfactuf7
ing center The factthat the Mo
nongah Glass Company, which
now employs about 500 hands, is
charging its capacity about one
third and will soon employ nearly
1000 people, and that the Owens
Bottle Company selected this city
after trying OUT several other
places before deciding to come
here, is significant. This is a good
distributing point, fuel is low for
manufacturing purposes, therea are
enough people that employees can
be found by manufacturing con-
Germs and the city has ample
grounds for homes for those who
come here to live. 1t doesn' t take
a very far seeing person to pro
phesy what will take place in
the way of development in Fair
mont in the next few Years. and
those who are on the ground and
have a home will reap the reward
OF occupancy when the larger city
comes.

: In taking an inventory of the
.city's possibilities, many things
must be considered, The location,
natural resources in easy reach,
accessibilitF, character Of; poptlla-
ton and spirit of progress all
have an important bearing, In
all Of these things Fairanont is
particularly strong. Faii.mont is
the county seat of a large and
wealthy county The next cen
sus will show Marion county to
have in the neighborfood Of 40
900 people and the coming five
years will add from fifteen to
twenty thousand more, at a very
low estimate. The county of Mar
ion Us rich in natural resources
and Fairmont is the center for
their development. Being the
home Of the Consolidation Coal
Company, which owns in fee and
holds under lease about 100000
acres of coal lands in the Monon-
gahcla Valley and whose opera
tions are among the largest in the
State, Faifmont goes into large
markets in way that advertises
the city. Fairmont has also a
number Of. thriving independent
operators who are doing much to
help the city. New operations Of
considerable magnitude are being
developed which will mean much
more than many people now real
ize. For example, it is said that
the Jamison Coal Company will
employ not less chan ] 800 men at
their three new operations and all
their field men, surveyors, office
men, etc, will probably reach
1000, that,is including the miners,
At least 1000 of those will be new
men, and that will mean an add.
ton to thegcounty's population Of
5000 people. The -Four States
Coal Company on Teverbaugh
will have from 500 to 600 en-
ployes and there are other vast
coal areas that will be developed
before many wears.

A Trolley Center.

Few peopleias yet realize what
it means to have large interurban
ears coming into this city from
three directions, bringing people
for miles and setting them down
in front of Fairmont's stores.
These cars coming now every hour
from two directions. laden with
their cargo of visitors, and soon
they will be coming from three.
The trolley lines reach in one di-
rection % miles, in another is
miles and in another - miles, The
county superintendent of schools
says he can now reach nearly half
Of the public schools of tile county
ton the trolley lines andlthe new
line to Fairvicw will add many
more. These things all mean
much to Fairmont.

NEW YORK.-In one of the large " wholesale houses in this city there are five partners. Two of them have not spoken to each other except over the telephone for twenty years. Their private offices are not more than twenty feet apart and they see each other a score of times a cay, but they meet and pass without the slight est sign of recognition. If 1t becomes necessary in the course of business for them to communicate with each other they do so either by calling a stenographer and dictating a memo randum or else by being connected on the telephone over their private line. They never speak face to face.
 quarter of a century ago these five partners were young men with small capital. All of them had been employees of Ghe same concern, but they had their own ideas and believed in them. So they put their money to- gether and formed partnership. The new business was successful from the very start. Each man had his own particular branch to look after and

 Miss Wenzel has established her outdoor school at Washington street and Massachusetts avenue and has nearly a score of pupils. The young woman is popular with the vendors.

 Her musical instruction is similar to what the musical teachers advo- cate for the production of a good ringing head tone"

In a former article was explained
 the theory of the newly discovered
 opsonic or vaccine treatment of infec
 tious diseases, and it was shown how
 the remedy Is obtained from the pa
 tient himself. It was then stated that although in some cases stock vac cine" could be used, applicable to all cases of a certain disease, better re suits are usually obtained if the vac from the special strain of bacteria in the patients own body.
 This is especially necessary in the treatment of colds and of the tendency thereto, for it has been found that the symptoms of an acute cold or of chronic catarrh are caused by several different species of bacteria, and the vaccine good for one kind is of little or no efficacy in the others.
 The only way to find out which bac- teria are at work Is to make a culture from the patients own nasal or throat secretions, and when this is obtained it can be used as the proper vaccine.
 The usual form of pneumonia croupous or lobar pneumonia gen orally caused by a specific germ. and a stock vaccine may be used if nee essary, but it is better to use the pa tients own bacteria even Nere, for tEere are usually certain peculiarities in each case. The treatment of pneu- monia in this way is very recent, but the few cases that have been reported have been so successful as to give hope that eventually the disease will be conquered by this means.
 In regard to colds and catarrhs. the matter is not so simple. It has been found that no less than six distinct forms of bacteria may produce an acute or chronic catarrh. There is one that has a preference for the nose, an other for the back of the throat. and still another for the bronchial tubes; but no one of them has a monopoly Of any region, and sometimes a number of them are working together in the same case in perfect harmony. In the treatment of a cold. therefore, one must first ascertain what bacteria are at fault, and whether one or several kinds. Then the corresponding stock or a combination of several, is given so as to lose no time while new vaccine made from the patients own germs is being prepared
 Not only has it been found possible to cut short acute colds, and benefit or cure chronic catarrhs, but it seems probable that permanent immunity may be secured by an opscnic injec- tion, given every six months. All this Is tentative, however, and although the pethod promises much, it is still too early to speak with confidence of future results-Youth's Companion.

Expected Twin Babies But He Found

 The police sergeant hesitated at the threshold-then doffed his helmet and entered. He sought first the physi. clans, two of them, who talked dfsin. terestedly with some of the children. One of them said:
 Sergeant, this case is one most un- usual. It should be brought to the attention of dairymen throughout the country. A full-sized male and fe. male. Mother and offspring doing nicely. You might drop a word to the farm journals.'
 Then a veterinary surgeon ap- peared and joined in the congratula, tions.

Practical Queries That Puzzled Dad

has. He counts them so he will know when he has half of them. This half he puts into a pasture. Then he counts out a third and puts 1t in an- other pen. Next he counts what's left and finds he has 32. After little figuring he finds how many in the whole flock. Very practical. I guess dad didn't study that book"
 The next book he examined was Mines Inductive Arithmetic" edi- ton of 1879. In miscellaneous exam pies he found the following:
 Two ladders will together just reach the top of a building seventy five feet high. If the shorter ladder Is two-thirds the length of the other, what Is the length of each?
 Why didn't he measure each lad der separately?" John asked himself That problem is not practical. I guess dad is older than I thought. I want an older book"
 The text book written in 1868 was handed to him. The book was evi- dently influenced by the Civil war, for it was filled with problems dealing with battering down Notifications and the sustenance of soldiers. One problem was:
 If twelve pieces of cannon, eighteen pounders, can batter down fortress in three hours, how long will it take for nineteen twenty-four pounders to batter down the same fortress?"
 That's fine for a general" John re- hected, but dad says that am going to be a captain of industry"
 Another arithmetic of the same date had the famous fish problem, with which Johns teacher had troubled him for six weeks before he himself finally explained it to the class. The fish problem Is.
 "The head of a fish is ten inches long. Its tail is as long as Its head and one-half the body. The body is as long as the head and tail both. How long is the fish?'
 Very handy problem for a butcher.

Partners for Years But Never Speak

each was specialist who did his part to perfection. Their separate inter- ests fn the firm so interlocked and they worked together so harmonious ly that within five years they were on the high road to fortune It was just at this time that these two partners fell out It arose from a trifiing diff ference their wives had. Naturally each partner, through loyalty to his spouse, took her side, and the quarrel grew so bitter that 1t eliminated in blows being exchanged. Then they vowed they never would speak to each other again. The other three partners saw that if this course were pursued 1t would spell ruin After a lengthy conference, in which the two dis putants were called in separately, the proposition was put to them that they should agree to remain with the firm, of which they were essentially im- portant parts, and should hold com munication with each other only on business matters and then either in writing or by telephone.
 This Is the plan that has been fol. lowed to this day and is likely to be pursued to the end. When these two enemies talk over the telephone they converse with all the polite amiability of old business associates; they dis cuss prices, business propositions and the various problems with which they are mutually concerned.

The child movement is probably due more to society's enlarged and improved idea of the value of the child than to a waning interest in the child in the home. Society formerly took chill dren as they were developed by time into men and women. It accepted them as they came to it, of age. To day society looks back a stretch of years at the child who has not come out, and wonders whether there is not something it can do to bring him out stronger and better. It has learned through the patient investigations of few that a number of things which 1t supposed he was getting were not his. It las stepped iH 10 give him those things, sometimes directly, more often by stimulating parents to get them for him.

An Honest Giver.

When Mrs. Rawson and her cousin, Miss Leland, went down to the city to spend a few days, it was agreed that Miss Leland should carry the pocket books in her bag, which was firmly attached to her belt by a strap, while Mrs. Rawson was liable to be left anywhere"
 As they were together all the time, the arrangement worked to a charm in shops and cars and restaurants. It never occurred to either of them when they stood modestly waiting at the back of a crowded church on Sun day morning that they would be ush- cred to seats which were not side by side
 They were not disturbed, however. until the offertory anthem had begun, and Miss Leland saw the fne-looking man with the plate slowly but surely making his way down the aisle. For tunately her seat was at the end.

France, like Germany, Great Brit ain, Belgium and Denmark, has adopt ed an old-age pension system. Great Britain and Denmark have the non- contributory system-that is, the ben eficiaEies pay nothing to the insurance fund, but the government does it all. This is condemned by its critics as e system of mere largess which is fraught with evils and dangers. Its cost in Great Britain is from $4O,0OO,- 900 to 45,000,000 a year. France has adopted the contributory system, much after the German plan. Belgium has both systems. Sffering a much larger pension to tho contributing classes The contributory system, which not only removes the fear of a destitute old age, but also encourages thrift, is in effect a form of compulsory insur- ance for the millions engaged in all kinds of gainful occupations, although for some classes, notably tho farming class, it is optional rather than con- pulsory. Employers and workmeE con- tribute equally in Germany and France, and the government adds third share to the total fund. In most cases the qualifying age is 70, except in Denmark, where 1t is 60.
