BROAD WAY FROM DIS
PENSARY TO CEMETERY
And Many There Be to Travel from
One to the Other

Broad is the way that leads from
a Virginia dispensary to a Virginia
cemetery, and many there be that
go in thereat.
Recently the editor took aSunday
afternoon stroll through an old Vir-
ginia town. 1t was a town of fine
homes with broad lawns shaded by
ancient oaks. Around like guard
Ian sentinels, stand the lofty peaks
OF the Blue Ridge.
Fine modern sidewalks. lead out
in every direction through the
town. One especially attracted
our attention. 1t was broad,
smooth, long. 1t led from the
heart of the town near the door or
the city liquor dispensary to the
gate OF the cemetery. 1t was paid
for, we were informed, by the rev.
enues from the publicly owned and
publicly administered liquor estab-
liShment.
That it should begin at the dispen-
sary and end at the cemetery. is
quite appropriate. 1t is not only
fitting but typical. The cemetery
at the other end of the walk. is not
only the graveyard Of buried bodies,
slain by the dispensary, but the
graveyard of buried hopes and
buried happiness and buried char
acter, all slaughtered at the dispen-
sary, maintained for public revenue.
BY all means let there be broad
smooth pathway from the dispen-
sary to the cemetery-it will be
needed and much Travelled. The
Virginia Issue.

Cats a Menace to Health

Scientists now declare that cats
are among the worst harborers of
germs, hence q menace to health,
and that they should be shaved, or
il not enough value to warrant that
trouble, then killed.
The State Board of Health OF Kan
sas has taken up the crusade against
the cat Felines carry many more
germs than dogs. Cats do not battle
as dogs do. Cats have an aversion
for water. Their thick Iur forms a
safe breeding place for microbes,
some of which are not found in the
hair OF dog or of any cleaner animal.
So the order runs to the Kansans:
Shave your cat as you woul d
your horse or your dog; if that be
too much trouble, kill him."

Mount Carmel, Augusta county:

time. t has had only three pastors
Mr. Payne, Mr.. Peterkin and the
present pastor, Rev. A. H. Hamil-
ton. Mr.. Hamilton has been serv-
ing the church for thirty-fve con-
secutive years. When he took the
charge, there were only 172 men,
bers. Now the membership is more
than 45O. During his pastorate OF
thirty-fve years, Mr.. Hamilton has
received into the church more than
seven hundred persons. There are
only between thirty and forty per-
sons now living. who were men,
bers of the church at the beginning
OF his work. He is still doing the
full PASTORS work and is much be-
loved by the whole commu nifty"

Standard Size of Apple Barrel

The international League OF Com =
mission Merchants, the Boston Pro-
duce x Fruit Exchange, the Inter
national Shippers Association and
others, are preparing data looking
to a Federal standard apple and
vegetable barrel and the matter
will be presented to Congress next
December. This standard will be
the 2st inch barrel, and it is obvious,
~ to the interest of all packers and
shippers of apples and vegetables to
get in line as soon as possible.
While the use of the 2e4 inch bar
rel is not compulsory. the fact that
a very large percent of our apples
are shipped out ofthe State makes il
advisable to use the package which
is standard in foreign markets.
Mr.. Clarence W. MOOmaw. of the
Virginia Fruit Growers, incorpor-
ated, strongly advocates the use If
the New York standard barrel bv
Virginia packers. giving as his rea.
son that this is the barrel which has
been established by custom to be-
the national standard.
The barrel very commonly used
measures 273 inches. The differ
ence in capacity betw cen that BAL
rel and the barrel 2SE inches high
is $500 quarts. The former is
regared as a short" barrel and an
such is prohibited sale in New York.

EDITOR OF BALTIMORE

DR.. c. D. Harris Writes of Visit to

The following editorial corre-
spondence appeared in last weeks
issue of the Baltimore Southern
Methodist from the pen Of its editor,
DR.. Carlton D. Harris, on his recent
visit to Lexington during the meet
ing OF the Roanoke District Confer
ence:
I'VE are especially indebted to
Rev. NJ. d. Mitchell, a former edi-
tor, and the host of the conference,
at whose hospitable parsonage we
received many cOurtesies. He is
interested in building a representa-
tive church at this Virginia Athens,
where thousand students every
year come from all over the country
t. be educated, that Methodism may
do it's part in making q permanent
impression on student life. On &C
count Of the far-reaching effect OF
such q church, with the best modern
equipment. few more profitable in
vestments could be made by our
denomination at large.
Mr.. w. II. Aghor and Mr.. w. R.
Kennedy, editor of the Lexington
Gazette, have placed us under OBJ
legations to them for kind and
thou1htful acts. The latter gave
us .uch historical data concerning
this famous valley town insepara-

To Write a New Arithmetic

Unless the whole science of math-
ematics is to be overthrow, the
merchants of Stanton who are ex.
pecting that man will be able to
spend his money for liquor and still
have it TO buy groceries, shoes and
Dry goods, will be disappoint-
ed. When q man takes a dollar out
of his pile and buys liquor with it, he
connot use that dollar to purchase
anything else with.
But we are assured that more peo.
pie will come to Staunton TO spend
this dollar but for liquor. who will
also spend several dollars for other
things that would have been bought
else where but the fact that the
liquor drew him hither. Possibly.
but bow about the Staunton man
who was already spending his
money here. and the MANY county
men who we're doing tho same
thing. but who will now draw out
the dollar, possibly the many dol
lars with which to buy liquor? Will
the loss from these be more than
made up from the new trade?
Wait, gentlemen. and count your
dollars and see. Staunton Leader.
