ANTAGONIST.

How often we find the spirit OF antag-
onism taking possession of man, aud
leading him to stage of unreasonable
ness
some people can't take part in con-
versation unless they take the opposite
view-sometimes unconseiously-and
generally from habit rather than from
heredity. These people are always un-
comfortable both to themselves and 9TH
ers, and less sought for on general infor-
nation.
Some people antagonize just for argu
ment sake, not thinking that sometime
this simple disposition will grow like the
acorn, and be handicap in future years.
Antagonizers become knockers in times
of encouragement and disappointment.
This article has no bearing on right
against wrong, but too often some of us
bubble over non-essentials and lose sight
of the more important matters, so this
little precaution should be a gentle re-
minder to young and old. We are never
too young to grow, or too old to learn.

WHY SO MUCH MEAT?

Is it really necessary to eat so much
meat is question which has been more
than ever forced to the front OF late by
the steadily rising price of meat and the
general advance in the cost of living. As
descendants OF generations of meat-eaters
most of US retain to some extent the crav-
ings and inclinations of our ancestors for
this form OF diet. But we are not nee
essarily the inforced heirs of the appe-
titles Of our forefathers; we do not have to
maintain their habits, much as we are
still under bondage to them. All that we
need to consider is, first, whether we are
right in clInging to the inherited belief
that meat is requisite for the attainment
of physical and mental vigor, and Sec
ond, whether the economic side of meat
eating is not worthy of consideration,
quite apart from that of health.
OF course a belief held for numherless
generations does not die easily. But our
belief that we require meat constantly in
order to keep up our strength OF body
and mind is fallacy and should be dis.
carded; the fact is meat-eating is tallacy
and should be discarded; the fact is meat
eating is habit which may be either
much modified or completely abandoned
to advantage To be sure, we need. the
proteids which in our forefathers' time
they obtained from the meat they con-
sumed; but we know. from the advance
in the knowledge of the facts of Nature,
that we may obtain these proteids from
simpler and less wasteful foods, some veg
etable and others of animal production.
More than this, by the modification or
abandonment of our customary daily
meat diet the cost of living in many cases
may be reduced from one-quarter to one
half Of what it now is. From both points
OF view, therefore. it is evident that this
is good time for us to curtaii our meat
consumption, aud thereby not only save
money, but also prove to ourselves that
the amount OF meat we have heretofore
eaten has been wholly unnecessary.

THE NEW ROAD.

Surveyors are now at work on the new
proposed county road from BelingtoE to
Junior. They report good logical right
of-way, but the only obstruction is that
some land owners want too much for the
right-of-way. 1t was thought at first
that the right-of-way would be given free,
but this unexpected obstruction has
doomed up and may cause delay.
A good road is needed either in new

road leading up by the Brick Plant and

[sy A. 3. wIthers.l

There seems to be q universal i'm
preston that other conditions being the
same, the wet state or town has adj
vantage over the dry one in the mat
ter of increase In population. This is
one of the favorite receptions which
liquor advocates practice In pulling
the wool over the eyes of the citizens
Of states and cities where their bust

surprising truth, as the following
figures viii show, not only in the case
of cities but of states as well. In
preparing the following exhibits, we
have tried to be scrupulously fair. We
have IN every case compared states
and cities situated in the same section
of the country where the industrial
conditions are the same In every
case, without exception, the advantage
is vastly with the dry section. The
cases are SO multiplied that the con-

''It is my opinion that if the Prohibit
ton Amendment is ratified, it will not
prevent any one making cider or wine
for home use any more than the present
law which never has done so. The pur-
pose OF the Amendment is to prevent

facture of cider or wine by one for his

THE SALOON BAR.

A bar to heaven, a door to hell,
Whoever named it named it well.
A bar to manliness and wealth,
A door to want and broken health,
A bar to honor, pride and fame,
A door to darkness and to shame,
A bar that shuts from useful life,
A door to brawlihg, senseless strife,
A bar to all that's true and brave,
A door to every druukard's grave,
A bar to Joy that home imparts,
4 door TO tears and broken hearts,
A bar to heaven and door to hell,
Whoever named it, named it well.

PROTECTS TAX PAYERS
DRY COUNTIES MUST HELP PAY
FOR CRIME CAUSED BY IL
cENsED CITIES.
Brewers, Press Bureau Operating IN
der Name Of Taxpayers Protective
Assn. Trying to Mislead Voters.

The press bureau of the United
States Brewers Association, operating
from Wheeling under the name West
Virginia Taxpayers Protective Asso-
citation" Is sending out literature to
show that the taxpayers will be COM
PEELED to pay an addition of $3.50 on
every ten thousand dollars of property
that he owns If prohibitions goes into
effect.
The fact is that anybody who is for
tunate enough to have ten thousand
dollars worth of property would be
glad to pay six dollars and fifty cents
for the privilege of having protection
for his children and community from
the ravages Of the licensed liquor traf-
fic. The great majority Of people pay
taxes on thousand dollars or less OF
property and the additional cost, ac-
cording to the computations of the
brewers, would be not more than sixty
five cents.
Occasionally there is man SO low
as to figure out whether he can afford
to have his wire live virtuous life.
The brewers figure it out that the peo-
pie Of West Virginia cannot afford to
tuous life because 1t will cost the tax
payers sixty five cents each to have it
that way
But 3 matter of fact, it is not like
ly thst there VIII be any material
change ii the state tax rate ON account
Of the ratification Of the amendment.
The action OF North Carolina and
other states in adopting state wide
prohibition did not compel the people
to raise their state tax rates. Some
state revenues from the licensing OF
liquor will be cut off but many ex-
penses of taking care of the product
Of the licensed saloon will also be cut
off and the saving Will likely take care
of the loss of revenue.
In some OF the cities, there will have
to be mere radical readjustment
But even in such cases, If the matter
is intelligently handled, there need be
no more than small temporary raise
in the tax rate II any. A large part Of
the cost of the police and criminal
expenses are en- account of the sa-
loon and this heavy expenditure will
be cut off.
At the matter stands. the rural dis
tricts, especially the dry districts. car
ry the big end of the stick They get
no local saloon revenue but are COM
PEELED to tax themselves in order to
meet their portion Of the expenses of
state institutions caused by the sa-
Ion In the licensed cities.
Statewide prohibition will relieve
the rural districts and villages of this
burden.

1t may sound absurd, but the
true reason Why so many people

that purgative drugs are so easy

often the person who prescribes
a purgative for himself instead
of lessening his tendency to con-

sluggishness. The intestine Is

Mrs. Roscoe Murray was the vic
tim of very painful and serious
accident at her home on Lock Ave-
nue., this city on Monday morning
last. She had started from her bed
room on the second floor to go to
the kitchen to prepare breakfast,
when at the head Of the stairway
she missed her footing and fell
headlong to the bottom. Her head
struck the Dashboard, cutting a long
deep cash in her forehead which re-
quired several stitches to close.
Mrs. Murray was otherwise bruised
and shocked by her dangerous tum-
BILE and it will be several days be-
fore she will be able to be out. DR..
Bromley rendered the proper aid.
Mr.. Murray was preparing to fill
IAN engagement at the Inez Baptist
Association but the accident to his
wife will prevent his attendance.
