essary to invade. All patriotic
Americans feel that even the Demo-
cratic House of Representatives
would join in the declaration
OF war against Mexico should the
President Of the United States show
it that war was necessary. The Ex-
ponent should remember that Pres
ident Taft has shown no inclination
to use Mexican troubles for the Re-
publican party. All he has done
has been with the welfare of his
country in view without party mo-
tive.
The Exponent reasonably sug-
gests that it does not matter how
great the loss of American lives and
properties in Mexico so long as
there is a probable chance of elect
ing a Democratic President. That
certainly is poor reasoning as a
Democratic President could not re-
store the lives and he would have
but little, If any, chance to restore
the properties.

The lactic-acid bacteria thus taken
into the body will gradually replace
the putrefact!ve germs in the intes-
tines. The Tactic acid which they
secrete is fatal to old-age microbes.
The whole problem consists in
taking enough OF the lact.c-acid
into the body SO that the supply ia
the intestines will be maintained.
In certain districts of Bulgaria,
sour milk forms one Of the, prin-
cipal articles of diet, the people are
said to live to an old age not ap-
preached elsewhere,
Lacto is made OF loppered whole
or sklm-milk, with addition Of eggs
sugar, lemons. and faSorlng ma
terial. 1t contains considerably
more nutriment than sherbets and
ices, and is about equal to ice
cream in this respect. The large
amount of protein in lacto makes
up for its deficiency in fat. In one
respect it is far ahead OF ice cream,
and that is, that 1t can not be readily
adulterated with corn-starch, gum
or gelatin.

Women no snenders.


Both in New York and Mass
chusetts women teachers in the pub
lie schools are conducting a cam
paign for more pay. In the former
state the argument takes the usual
form of equal pay for equal service,
and 1t is shown that men are much
more literally compensated than
women who do the same work. Bos-
ton teachers have taken new tack.
They make the novel assertion that
women really need higher salaries
than men because it costs them
more to live. BY what process Of
calculation they arrive at their est
mate is not known, but representa-
tive Boston instructors declare that
a single woman teacher can not live
properly on less than 81 ,24O a year,
while an unmarried male teacher
can get along comfortably on only
1893. Here is difference of over
$500, surely considerable one. II
the estimate is even approximately
correct, does 1t not tend to establish
the theory OF feminine extrav.
agance? Why need spinster's
weekly expenditure exceed bache.
lor's lby IS? asks the Pittsburg Ga
zette-Times.
OF course, women's hats cost more
than mems and a greater number
are required in the course of a year.
The average man can worry along
with new straw hat every sum-
mer and new derby every fall. He
can practice the same comparative
economy in his dealings with his
tailor. There are plenty of men
who wear the same weight and color
OF clothes all the yaar round. No
woman does this. She must have
gowns and suits for all seasons. This
runs into money. Perhaps, after all,
the women teachers are not SO far
out in their contention.

BOY scouts Get Discipline.

The editors OF the Army and Navy
Journal are very much exercised
because of the determination Of the
leaders of the Boy Scouts OF America
to eliminate military terms and fea-
lures from the scout training.
Several articles have appeared in
the Journal lamenting this fact, and
their attitude may he taken as an
other proof that the founders of the
Boy Scouts of America are not aim
ing to train boys to become soldiers.
They do aime to train the boys to
become strong physically. alert men
tally and fine in character. The Boy
Scout movement gives the boys as
thorough discipline as If they had
military training.

Two Strong Points.


There are two strong points in ia
vor of the good roads movement
that ought to be carefully consid-
cred by all those who have any doubts
about it. One is that good roads
will enhance the value OF property
in the sections touched by them and
the other is that they cheaper the cost
of transportation, which means more
profits for the farmer and all others
who have to bear such an item OF
expense.
An expert from the Bureau of Good
Roads of the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural cited an IL
lustration of the first point, about
which he had personal knowledge,
at the good roads convention held
the other day in the court house. A
certain farmer by the name of Fain.
whose farm is situated on the Blunt
ville-Bristol road in Tennessee, OF
fered his farm for sale at $4,000
several years ago and could find no
one who would take it. Afterward
the road was macadamized and re-
Gently the farm was sold for $685.
900, which was an advance OF s25
an acre in the value of the farm as
the direct result of the road i'm
provement. In answer to the oh,
lection to increased taxes resulting
from the Improvement, it was
pointed out that it would have taken
Mr.. Fain just $50 years to pay out
in taxes the amount represented by
the enhanced valuation of his lands
AS to the cheapened cost of trans.
portation, it was shown by govern.
ment statistics that one horse, on
the average, has to pull 125 pounds
in order to move a ton over fairly
good dirt road, seventy-five pounds
over a gravel road, forty-fve pounds
over macadam road and only
twenty-five pounds over a brick
road. That is to say, the same
horse can pull three times as much
over macadamized road as over a
dirt road-and that means a good
dirt road, too, and not the kind that
are not properly northumberland
five times as much over brick road
On some dirt roads, in the condition
in which they are allowed to exist,
1t is impossible for a horse to draw
a ton, as many who have had the ex-
perience we'll know.
The federal government has
learned that the average cost OF
moving the crops of the United
States to market is 25 cents a ton
and statistics show that this cost is
reduced to 10 and 10 cents ton in
localities that have good roads.
With such great advantages to he
obtained from better roads, it is
difficult, indeed, to understand why
any person should oppose the move
ment.

said, was inspired from motives of
love, and the message TO be impart-
ed was Jesus Christ as the savior OF
man.
The Rev. L. E. Peters discussed
the subject, The Necessity and the
Promise of Redemption" He showed
that redemption was necessary from
the fact that man was lost. Man, he
stated, had lost his original like
ness to God, his harmony with God
his fellow man, ana himself, and his
original righteousness, and become
depraved, condemned, lost and help
less. He lost hope and was thus
eternally lost. Then came the prom
Use of redemption, being first prom
ised to Adam and the entire race
then to the seed of Abraham, to the
tribe of Judah, to the family OF
David, and finally the place Of the
redeemer's birth was foretold, his
mother chosen and the day Of his
birth announced. The promise was
also given by type and symbol, being
found in the offerings OF Abel and
Noah and in the Paschal Lamb.
Dr. H. 7. Musselman followed his
talk Of the morning by pointing out
the training which the modern Sum
day school teacher needs to carry on
the work of religious education.
This was followed by general dis
cussion.

Party and Patriotism.

Bordering on the verge OF treason,
the Clarksburg Exponent places the
Democratic party above American
patriotism. 1t is astounding that its
partisanship should lead it to make
utterances that smack so loudly OF
the reasonable thought behind
them, and yet the Telegram is in
lined to look lightly upon such
declarations for the reason that the
Exponent's zeal for party position
and power unwittingly led 1t into III
advised and very untimely as
sertions in connection with AmerI-
can invasion OF Mexico.
There seems but little probability
of such invasion but the future can
not be fortold in that respect and
the Exponent's advice that IF you
are good Democrat and wish to see
Democratic policies triumph, don't
do anything to stir up an invasion
of Mexico" is certainly out of place
and, if followed in the event in
vaslon became imperative would
certainly place the Democratic party
in a very bad light.
1t intimates that invasion would
mean the reelection of President
Taft and it gives that as one of its
chief reasons for the advice proffered.
1t is to be inferred that the Demo-
cratic party should disregard the
protection of American lives and
properties in Mexico in order to
have a chance to elect a President
of the United States. Happily the
Democratic party through some Of
its leaders is more loyal to the ma
ton than the Exponent, if the pub
lie is to judge the latter by what It
says. Several Democratic leaders
are standing firmly by the Presi-
dent in his Mexican policy and Sena-
tor Stone at least has urged imme-
diate invasion on a small scale.
1t would be reasonable for the
party to stand aloor from
in Mexican invasion II
the government should deem it nee

Governors and Mayors Invited.

The governors of all the states
and mayors of the principal cities Of
the country have been invited to
send representatives to the meeting
OF the National Conference of Char
tiles and Correction in Boston, June
7-14, for the purpose OF discussing
standards of administration in pub
lie, charitable and correctional inst.-
buttons and the scientific treatment
of the wards of the states and cities.
These discussions in the National
Conference during the last thirty
eight years have resulted in placing
American charitable and penal insti-
tut!ons ahead OF almost any others
in the world, according to the state
ment of the Rev. Francis Gavisk,, D.
D., of Indianapolis, the chairman o.
the section of the Conference on
State Supervision and Adm!nistra-
ton.

The Good Roads Movement,

After hearing few arguments in
favor, OF better country roads, one
Is quite inclined to say that the
question Is settled on Its face and
requires no debate. There is, in
deed, SO much truth and merit in
the agitation for them, which is
! rapidly spreading all over the coun-
try, that any positive opposition to
them should occasion surprise.
But, positive opposition to good
roads is not the chief hindrance, as
was pointed out forcefully in the
convention held yesterday in the
court house under the asuspice OF
the American Association for High
way Improvement. Practically every
body wants good roads. Narrow
and selfish, indeed, is the stingy soul
who cares nought for them and for
tunate!y his ilk are few and far be-
tween. The great obstacle is that
of passive ind ference on the part
of the average citizen-the business
man as well as the farmer.
What positive opposition there is
to good roads rests upon the belief
that they will make the taxes
'burdensome. Yet, this ought not
to be allowed to kill the movement,
and doubtless viii not when it is
shown that better roads are verltable
money makers and that they will
pay for themselves by enhancing
the value Of land and cheapening
the cost of farming and of other en-
terprises requiring road transporta-
ton. What boots it which way the
profits are counted so long as they
are forthcoming?
Another obstacle has been a d.
vergence of opinion as to the means
OF obtaining better roads and lack
of united effort and of active inter-
est in the subject. A serious blow
was dealt to the movement by the
last leg Stature when it abolished
the state highway department and
practically destroyed an excellent
system OF state aid, which was be-
ginning to prove of great benefit
throughout West Virginia.
The question for the immediate
present, however, devolves upon the
individual counties and the citizens
thereof. 1t is a splendid thing for
them to get together and devise
ways and means for better roads
Even if the present systems pro,
vided by law are not the best
they can be made much more ef.
fective by active cooperation and
greater interest; and the more prac.
teal information and experience
gained in the efforts will he of val
liable aid in framing new measures
for the future.
