AS TO THE FOOD INSPECTOR.

A few days ago The Intelligencer
called attention TO the peculiar situa-
ton created by the division among
members OF Council as to whether
the new food inspector should be
appointed by the Board OF Control
or by the City Health Department
The Intelligencer has good authority
for the statement that the City
Health Officer himself has not sought
10 have the appointment of the food
Inspector placed in his hands. He
believes a food Inspector should be
appointed. He believes that this
work naturally belongs 10 his de-
partment. but he has taken no part
in the controversy which sprang up
rather Unexpectedly in Council. It
is TO be regretted that a controversy
OF this kind has arisen.
short time ago there was CON
siderable public discussion over the
re-appointment OF the present Health
Officer. His efficiency and many

nized. but the existence of friction
between himself and members OF the
Board Of Control was evident. II is
unwise and probably unjust both TO
the Health Officer and to the Board
Of Control for members OF Council
TO engage in a controversy that is
sure 10 increase this friction. The
members OF the Board OF Control
have been chosen by the people Of
Wheeling for the general supervision
OF the city government. The City
Heath officer is their subordinate.
Councilmen will do an injustice 10
the Health Ohicer II they make tho
selection OF the pure food inspector
an occasion for accentuating the dif.
ferences Of opinion between the head
OF the Health Department and his
superiors in authority.
Hadn't Council better leave this
matter alone and let the Board Of
Control and the Health Officer settle
the question themselves?

USE FOR RETIRED ARMY MEN
Members of Service Are Instructed in
All Kinds of Professionalism
Given Preference.

What to do with men who have re.
tired after their term Of enlistment
from the army and navy is a question
that the British government IS trying
to answer. For this purpose men in
the Royal Marine Artillery and the
Royal Marine Light Infantry have
lately been given exceptional opportu-
mites Of becoming skilled wOrkmen in
any trade, and it is quite safe to say
that no man who has made use of the
facilities offered need leave the ser
vice to swell the ranks Of the unem-
plOyed. Painting, carpeU'cring, brick
laying and practically the whole Of
the clothing of the regiment, and boot
making. are done in the barracks.
Other men get instruction as BARRIERS,
butchers, walters, and these men are
sure of getting a position in their par
ticular trade on retirement Would
be employers give preference to re-.
tired service men. The officers take
the keenest interest in the classes,

ten his inferno" with the shadow
of perditiOn IN his brow. We may
gravely question when it was that the
cross began to darken our Lords
pathway; there is no hint OF such
a fOrebOding until we reach the mid
die Of his ministry. From that on
there are occasional tOkenS that he
saw Calvary ahead Of him, and was
at times pressed down with a dread
full sense of the inevitable agony
which awaited him at the end. But
all this is very far from a~ffording any
reasonable ground for the conclusion
that he smiled sometimes, but never
laughed.
If God did not intend us to laugh,
on occasion why did he endow us
with the capacity to laugh, with a
sense of the humorous, with the fac
ulty to see and enjoy wit, fun and
the absurd side of life; and, further
more. why did he produce so many

RegimentaI Paper Was a Prolific

Lyman Bridges. While the Nineteenth
Illinois was stationed at Elizabeth
town, Ky, the paper was published for
several months in the office of the
Democrat of that place, then out OF
business on account of the advent OF
the federal troops.
Another paper had the sounding
title Of the War Eagie AMI Camp JVuI-
nal of the Army of the West. 1t con
tanned the touching little poem, "The

One of the makeshifts during the
