DIET OF THE TEETOTALER
He Tells What He Ate and Drank
During Day of Golf and
Business.

81 was just recalling what I had
taken in the way of refreshment to.
day. said a teetotaller to his wife
when he came home to dinner on one
of the hottest days, and it makes me
astonished that there are not more
cases of upset stomachs.
You know I got up early and went
up to play golf. Well, for breakfast
l had lamb chop, cereal, coffee,
toast and couple of bananas.
After I'd played the six hill holes
l had a drink of ice water, and after
playing the fifteenth hole we repaired
to the shanty of the fiagman on the
railroad and had one of his lemona-
des, which he makes for the thirsty
golfers and through which trade he
probably makes more than his wages
amount to-
After we'd finished l had a dish of
ice cream and two large glasses of
excellent milk. Then l took a show
er bath, dressed and went down town,
tarrying for pineapple ice cream
soda and glass of ice water.
For lunch at my usual downtown
restaurant | took a lettuce and toma-
to sandwich, iced tea, good sized
section of watermelon and a piece
of cocoanut pie. About fifteen minu-
ties after four o'clock l took an egg
chocolate at soda fountain.
And here l am, ready for dinner,
and not aware of any i'll effects from
the variety of foods and drinks I've
taken"

FRIDAY. OCTOBER 40. 1911.
SHENANDOAH POLITICS,

While our neighboring county,
Rockingham, has been passing
through a very hot campaign, in
which the newspapers have taken
an active part, Shenandoah has
been moving in the even tenor of
her way. We have number OF
candidates, some of whom have
been very very active in inter-
viewing the citizens and solicit
ing votes.
The men who have been nomi-
mated, or are candidates for the
various offices, are good men and
the old county will be safe, it
matters not who will be elected.
One feature is very noticeable.
A large number will vote for men
regardless of party lines. The
voters are to considerable
extent independent and as a re-
suit there will be many mixed
tickets. In other words, in
county election, they will vote
for men, instead of voting for
their respective parties. The
affairs of a county are in happy
shape, when voters, regardless OF
party utilization, will select the
best men.
There may be some difference
of opinion as to who are the best
men, but we can trust the decl-
sion of this question to the ma
jority of the voters.
The campaign has been remark
ably free from personal abuse.
We have not heard a candidate
personally abused by his opponent
A man that seeks to be elected
by villifying his opponent is like
~ to be defeated. Our people
do not like to vote for men of
that kind. Let us have the best
officers we can get and the Old
County will continue to prosper.

Pit Brow Lassies.

How difficult 1t is to make laws to
suit everybody is illustrated again in
the tale which comes from England
about the lassies of Lancashire. The
poor slaves! They spend their young
lives pushing heavy coal tubs to the
pit brows of the mines. No decent
civilization would permit it's women to
be SO injured! So the philanthropists
argued, and straightway a bill was
passed forbidding the employment OF
women at the pit brows. But were
the beneficiaries grateful? Not at all

benevolent Parliamentary intervention
in their behalf.

Shifting Ministers.

One of Wesley's reasons for shifting
his preachers every three years was
avowedly that they might be able to
preach the same sermon over again to
different congregations. He knew by
experience the difficulty of sermon
making. After few weeks, he said,
a preacher cannot find matter for
preaching every morning and evening,
nor will the-people come to hear him,
whereas if he never stays more than
a Fortnight in one place he will find
plenty of matter, and the people will
hear him gladly. I know that were
to preach one whole year in one place
| should preach both myself and my
congregation to sleep.

The Harrisonburg Daily Times
(Republican) in its issue of the
10th inst, says the salary of the
Treasurer of Rockingham county,
is Nine Thousand Dollars per
year; just double the salary of
the Governor of the State. The
taxable values of Shenandoah
county are more than one-half as
much as in Rockingham county,
therefore, it is tair to assume that
the salary of the Treasurer of
Shenandoah county is at least
S5000.00 per year. Five Thous-
and Dollars multiplied by eight
makes $40, 100000 that Mr.. Hut
cheson will have received when
his eight years term of service
will expire January LIST, 1912. It
therefore appears Mr.. Hutchinson
has been receiving each year he
has been Treasurer, more salary
than the Governor of the State.
The Governor can only serve one
term, and Mr.. Hutchinson has al
ready had two terms, and is now

third term. And Furthermore it
is pointed out that Mr.. Hutche-
son in addition to the Treasurer
ship, is also President of The
Farmers Bank, Edinburg, Va.
President of the Builders Supply

of large FIGURING Mill, Column

holder in The Valley Realty
Company. And yet Mr.. Hutche-
son is now going oyer the county
pleading the baby act" beg
ging the voters to give him
third term, because he has had
sickness in his family, and needs

showing can any one believe that
the shadow of the Aims House
is lowering over Mr.. Hutchinson
