MANY Republicans in West Virginia
seem to think that Judge Nathan Golf is
a good genie who is to be invoked when
ever the party is in trouble. Once more
they are kotowing before him as the
Moses TO lead them out of the desert in
which they find themselves, and the good
judge is doubtless willing to do so. But
there are unbelievers in the party who
have no reverence for him, especially
when it comes to carrying him the fat
office OF Senator on platter, and adora-
tion for him is not at all unanimous. The
victors are after the spoils, and they have
no idea of permitting the judge TO pull
out the first and best plum.

HagerStown, Md, May p, 1912.
Mr.. EdiIor-Can take up a little OF
the valuable space in your paper for a
few words to my comrades OF the Henry
Kyd Douglas Camp, Sons OF Confederate
Veterans? And If my remarks meet
with your approval, will you not kindly
use some space in your paper from time
TO time to arouse some interest in the
matter
Comrades of the Henry Kyd Douglas
Camp, what has become OF all the inter
est which was shown in the camp when
same was started some years ago, and
can we not get together and stir up this
same interest again
Are there not lot OF men, not only
who are now or have been members OF
the camp, but who are eligible but who
never Joined, who can and will get to-
gether and put new life into things?
If our commander will call meeting
any evening and let me know ! will be
only too glad to come over and help in
any way can for the good OF the cause.
really think every one OF us men ought
TO be ashamed that we can not keep our
organization as alive and in as good shape
as the Daughters OF the Confederacy do
theirs. What is wrong? Are we less
patriotic than they or are we more selfish
and will not take the time from our own
pleasures or business TO give few hours
month to help along the organization ?
Had our fathers had no more patriotism
than we show, where would the grand
Confederate army have come from? DO
we not owe il to the old veterans who
are so rapidly passing away to show them
that we are made OF the same stuff that
they were and that as long as we or our
own children live the deeds of our fathers
will never die or their graves be forgot
ten?
am willing to turn over a new leaf
and help all can. How many others
are with me?
Yours for live, vigorous, going and
growing camp.

For Women Who Care

Ofcourse you use an antiseptic in your
family and in the care of your own per-
son, and you want the best.
Instead of what you have been using
such as liquid or tablet antiseptics or
peroxide, won't you please try Paxtine,
a concentrated antiseptic powder to be
dissolved in water as needed.
Paxtine is more economical, more
cleansing, more germicidal and more
healing than anything you ever used.

number of years ago the famous

first found tho germ of diphtheria,
exhibited to his pupils largo plates

chemical stain was then applied to
the glass, which colored only the
diphthcria germs, and tho latter
were seen to be scattered profusely
over the surface.
The germs of infsntile paralysis
have recently been proved TO grow
pleutifully in the nasal secretions
of persons suffering from that dis
ease and there is excellent reason
for supposing that it may be, and
often is, communicated by sneez-
ing.
It has been demonstrated (aeaIn
on the authority of Or. Rucker)
that the frightful mslady called
cerebral.Spinal meningitis is dis
tributed by chronic carriers =
that is to say, by healthy persons
who, without being at all aware Of
