war, and was confined to bed much
OF the time by rheumatism.

Cupid Uses a Ladder in Bedford

Last Saturday night Mr.. Porter
Arnold, with the assistance of a
couple of gentlemen friends. went
to the home of Mr.. Wesley Cheek,
near Body Camp and stole his daugh-

window. They drove Immediately
to Bedford City where they took
the o'clock a. M. train for Bristol.
All arrangements had been cleverly
planned before hand. They carried
a ladder with which was wrapped
with sacks, left the carriage some
distance away and walked down to
the house without shoes. Miss
Cheek had the floor covered with
quilts and the dogs fastened up In
the kitchen. The boys fired a gun
when near to warn her to be ready
and not a sound was made except
the dropping of her suit case, which,
however, did not wake anyone.

Man, the lord of creation, amuses
himself pretty much all the time
poking fun at the clothes women

attire and the willingness of women
to martyr themselves in slavish
obedience to the DEGREES of tyran

fumes over the bills. Suppose we
consider for a moment the case OF
man himself. In temperatures OF
55 to 100 degrees he does not dare
to leave off his coat. He wears
stiffly starched collars and cuffs to
to soil on his desk.
In his office he may shuck his
coat, provided there are no ladies
present or probable, but when he
energies from the sphere OF the
electric fan and HES him to the
scorching sunlight he has to put it
on. If he does not he is looked up
on askance and considered rather
TOO free and easy. If he enters a

Creamery a Profitable Business

Messrs. R. H. Peck and +. W.
Crush of the lions Hill neighbor-
hood, are liberal patrons of the Fin
castle Creamery. For cream, etc,
from seventeen cows during the
~ onth of May, 1911, they received
Sl33. SO. There are included in the
above amount $S7. so received for
seventeen calves, sold during the
milking period, and the value of
LISA gallons of skinned milk at
three cents a gallon-s3. so
The cost Of feeding the seventeen
COWS in May was $23 SOL, 800
pounds of Union G rain Feed" at
$1.75 per hundred. Mr.. Peck be-
lieves the Union Grain Feed is bet
ter and cheaper for COWS than en-
silage.
Two of these cows were fresh in
November, 1910; two in December,
1910; three in January, 1911; three
in February. 1911; four in March,
1911, and three in April, 1911.
Messrs. Peck and Crush find dali
rying a very profitable business,
and in view OF the above statement
and the experience of other patrons
of our creamery, it seems strange
that many more of our farmers do
not engage in this paying business.

the members OF the United States
Senate for calling them gentlemen
in a speech on the Canadian rec
iprocity bill. The apology provoked
laughter from the usually staid and

Now gentlemen" he began and
then he stammered, Il apologize to
you Senators for calling you gentle
men, but am more schooled in the
ways of the the other House than of

Senator Gallinger and the De mocrat-

v. M. |. RANKS HIGH
AS MILITARY SCHOOL
Designated by u. S. Government as
One of Ten

Uncle Sam, after unwinding sew
eral spools of red tape, has placed
his stamp Of approval on the Virgin
ia Military Institute, designating it
as one OF the ten educational instit-
utiOns in the United States which
lead all other schools in preparing
the youth of the nation for defense
OF the in time of war.
Announcement to this effect was
made few days ago at the office of
Adjutant General W. w. Sale in
Richmond following the receipt of a
communication from Major General
Leonard Wood. chief OF staff, United
States Army.
A board of United States army
fcers was appointed by the War De-
partment for the purpose of making
an annual inspection of the military
departments of educational institu-
tions to which officers OF the regular
army are detailed as professors of
military science and tactics.
Members of the board visited all
schools at which officers of the reg
ular army are instructors, and after
making a careful inspection desig-
mated ten schools as leading all
others in the application and prof.
cheney of students in military train
ing and knowledge.
As these ten school are arranged
alphabetically it is impossible to
learn which is foremost, but it is
believed the Virginia Military In
stitute ranks at or near the top,
despite the fact that the alphabetic
arrangement places the institute at
the bottom of the list
The ten schools honored are as
follows: Agricultural and Mechan-
ical College OF Texas, College Stat
ion. Texas; Culver Military Acad-
envy, Culver, Ind. Maryland Agri-
cultural College, College Park, Md. !;

Leadership of Senator Martin and
Representative Clark

\ recent press dispatch from
Washington City, says:
To Senator Thomas Staples Mar
tin, of Virginia, minority leader of
the upper house of Congress,
belongs in large measure much of
the present unity among the Dem
ocrats OF that body, and, CONVEX
sely, much CT the disorganization
and lack of harmony that prevails
among the Republicans.
When, a short time ago, the Dem
ocrats, just slightly in the minority
in the Senate, met in conclave to
select lea der-one who could make
them more a factor in the Senate
deliberations than had been the case
before--they set about to find man
who could, in modern day parlance.
deliver the goods" They selected
as stated. Thomas S. Martin for that
important duty, and whether or OF
his leadership is proving a success
is shown better by the utter rout
which prevails among the Repub-
licans and the division which con-
fronts them on every side, than in
any other way. The Democrats, on
the other hand, are more in line and
in harmony concerning the meas
ures that are now pending before
that body than they have been in
years. This may be due to the
Martin leadership or it may not
but the fact is true, and there must
be after all, some real raeson for it..

Among the newest strange gifts
Mrs. Taft has received are several
sacred tea plants from the garden
of the Buddhist priests in Ceylon.
The plants were sent to the secre-
tary of agriculture, who will have
them cared for in the tea farms of
the Carolinas, which are under the
supervision of the department.
Mrs. Taft is fond of delicate tea and
her chef always is kept supplied
through the courtesy of diplomats
in Washington with brands which
never are put on the market. 1t is
predicted the Ceylon plants will
thrive in the moist air of the South

How to Keep Cool

A cotemporary makes the follow
ing observations concerning the dis
comforts of the torrid season:
Light clothing and light eating and
drinking are imperative. Don't
think about the heat. Keep busy
as usual. Persons who are occupied
and give their attention to their
work will find they won't notice the
heat. The idle, the unoccupied and
the cranks are the ones that suffer
most.

THE TYPHOID FEVER
IN RURAL DISTRICTS
More Easily Controlled Than In
Towns or Cities
SPRING OR WELL IMPORTANT
Flies Should Be Kept From Every
Kind of Food

Kind OF Food
Since the cause of it's spread can
much more easily be discovered,
aud since it's various elements can
be more easily controlled, typhoid
fever is more readily preventable
in our rural districts than in our
cities, The fact that typoid fever
spreads so extensively in rural
districts is due to the fact that the
people are for the most part ignor-
ant of the true cause of the spread
of the disease, and to the fact that
the individual must do the greater
part of the work for himself. No
health officer can attend to the
water supply or refuse disposal of
the individual farm. Every uan
living on farm must do these things
for himself
The spread of typhoid fever in
rural districts depends on the same
factors as in towns and cities, the
principal difference being the extent
to which thes various factors oper-
ate. In the country it is seldom
that more than one family uses
water from the same source. Con-
sequently, water borne epidemics
of any great extent are rare.
In the country, however, the people
do not always understand the nee
essity for cleanliness and disinfec-
ton about the sick-room and con
sequently many cases of typhoid
spread from this source. Similarly,
the open privy is much more COM
mon in the country than in the city
or town, and hence the disease
spreads more Frequently from this
cause. FINALLY, milk and products
made frou- it-such as ice cream,
butter and the like-often get in
fected when produced on a farm
where there is a case of typhoid
fever and cause the disease to
spread among those who use the
food or milk.
The prevention of typhoid fever
in rural districts, therefore, de-
ponds on the effort of the individ-
ual owner of the farm. First and
fore most he should see that his
we'll or spring is as safe as it can
possibly be made. He should next
see that the privy is sanitary. The
use of the contents OF the privy for
fertilizing in the garden should be
prohibited.
The farmer should likewise take
care that the milk vessels are care
fully scalded before using and that
those who work in the milk and
butter wash their hands just before
milking or handling milk or milk
products or vessels. Moreover,
every effort should be made to keep
flies from the dining room. kitchen
and dairy. FINALLY, each member
of the family should carefully wash
the hands just before eating, anC
should not eat or drink anything
away from home when they can
prevent it, All should be warned
against eating or drinking at place:
where there is typhoid fever.-Vir
