"a Way To Cut Your Meat Bill In
Half"

Government experts have figured that
il the present increase in meats continue,
we shall be paying 81 pound for beef
steak.
Already the increase in cost OF meats
has reached point where il is real
problem for the average housewife TO
provide her table with this one article
every normal eater must have.
II naturally follows. therefore, it we
find a way to cut this bill in half without
skimping your table or giving those who
sill there anything but the most palataole
and nourishing meats, we have done
something toward solving the high cost OF
living.
In a remarkable article, occupying a
full page in the Sunday North American
of November 10, Mrs. Anna b. Scott, the
famous cooking expert, will demonstrate
and show how this saving can be effected.
We regard this as one OF the most valu-
able contributions made against the high
cost OF living. Every one is interested IN
this, and every one will want to secure a
copy OF next Sundays North American.
The one sure way to prevent disappoint-
ment is TO either leave your order with
your news agent in advance. or oeiier
still, drop a postal to the Circulation
Department OF The North American, re-
questing The North American to be served
10 YOU regularly.

New Bridge at the Junction.

The new bridge OF the Norfolk & West
ern Railway over the tracks OF the B. &
o. Railroad at Shenandoah Junction was
safely put in place last week. The old
bridge was moved away and the new put
n position without stopping single
train on either road, the final work re-
curing only a few hours. The new
bridge was first erected on temporary
supports. Then another set OF supports
was prepared for the old bridge, which
was edged over upon them, leaving the
permanent foundations ready for the new
structure. This was quickly gotten in
place without accident or delay. The
new bridge is three feet higher than the
old, leaving ample space underneath for
the passage of B. & o. cars and trainmen
who may be on top Of them. A number
of B. & 0. men have been killed by be-
ing knocked from cars by the under part
OF the bridge, and there is general relief
that the death trap has been abolished.
The difference in the height OF the bridge
necessitated change in the grade OF the
N. & w. track, and it had TO be raised
for about quarter OF mile on either
side. The new bridge has iron projections
on one side which are to be utilized, il is
said, as supports for a platform which
will be necessary when that ng-deferred
new union passenger station shall have
been erected at that point.

In The jefferson Circuit Court.

The case of Grover Young, indicted for
the murder of Bush Washington, colored,
occupied three days in the Circuit Court
at Charles Town last week, and attracted
much interest on the part OF the people.
The testimony OF the young men who
were in the house when the tragedy oc-
CURED was to the effect that they were
all drunk together. and Young and the
colored man got into fight; that they
heard knock at the door, and Wash
ington, fearing that the police were after
them, ran upstairs and jumped from a
window to the pavement beneath, break
ing his neck. Mrs. Rodrick, who lived
near by and who heard the racket, testi-
fled that she had seen Washington jump
from the window, and that he was alive
when he made his exit. AT the conclu-
sion OF the testimony, counsel for the de-
tense asked that the court order verdict
OF acquittal on the ground that the evil
dence was not sufficient TO convict. The
jury was sent out while the question was
argued by the attorneys, and when it re-
turned to the court room Judge Woods
directed that verdict OF not guilty be
rendered. This was done and Young
wa, discharged from custody. Forrest
w. Brown was counsel for Young, while
the State was represented by Prosecuting
Attorney Geo. D. Moore and Chas. n.
Campbell. Later, by order OF the court,
Ned Athey, who had been indicted for
completely in the same affair, was dis
charged from custody.
The jury gave a verdict for S275 in
favor of Thomas H. Jones against the
B. & o. Railroad Company, for damages
sustained by the plaintiff in having a
horse killed and buggy damaged by a
train at Harper's Ferry on August Is,
1912. The verdict was rendered subject
to demurrer 10 the evidence.

County Court Proceedings.


We note the following items of bus
mess transacted by the Jefferson County
Court at its sessions last week
A petition signed by @. M. Hough, DR..
J. J. Pittman, S. q. Johnson, DR.. J. M.
Miller and others, asking that The court
establish free ferry at Mannings Ferry,
was presented 10 the court, but action on
it was deferred. A recent act of the
Legislature gives county courts the power
to establish free ferries wherever and
whenever in its discretion one seems 10
be needed, and the petitioners rely on
the power granted by this act in asking
for one at Manning's.
Monday, November 10, was agreed
upon as the date for considering errors
in the assessment OF property in the
county, il having been shown that NUM-
erous errors had been made in the as
sessment returns.
The committee appointed TO ascertain
the cost to the county OF the smallpox
epidemic OF last year reported that the
sum of 81, 293 So had been paid in con-
nection Herewith; that there were &c
cases in all, making the cost OF each
$25.4S. 1t was incidentally stated by
member OF the court that each case oil
smallpox in Berkeley county last year
had cost that county SIS.
The resignation OF James K. Hendricks
as county surveyor was submitted, but
no action was taken on it. the subject
being deferred TO later day.

A VALUABLE SUGGESTION.
Important To Everyone.

It is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs TO a re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount OF work in removing the poiSonS
and waste matter from the system by
tiltering the blood.
During the winter months especially,
when we live an indoor life, the kidneys
should receive some assistance when
needed, as we take less exercise, drink
less water and often eat more rich heavy
food, thereby forcing the kidneys to do
more work than Nature intended. Evil
dence of kidney trouble, such as lame
back, annoying bladder troubles, smart
ing or burning, brick dust or sediment,
sallow complexion, rheumatism, may be
weak or irregular heart action, warns you
that your kidneys require help immediate
ly to avoid more serious trouble.
Many physicians claim that an herbal
medicine containing no minerals or OPT
ateS has the most healing influence. An
ideal herbal compound that has had most
remarkable success as kidney and blad-
der remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root.
You may receive sample bottle oil
wamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention the

Eggs Sky High.

The hens of this neighborhood have
almost entirely stopped laying, and for
several days the past week there wasn't
an egg on sale in town. The hens have
not exactly been on strike, but they
were Just taking good rest after the
moulting season. Eggs were up to 50
cents dozen here, but at this price there
were not many buyers. In New YORK
strictly fresh eggs were IS cents dozen,
and other grades in proportion. In most
OF the cities prices have been unusually
high. There is no reason for this, except
that dealers are trying TO keep up prices
to an exorbitant figure. In New YORK
CITY alone there are over l,OOO,OOO, dozen
eggs on storage, and in Chicago there are
3 600 900 dozen. This shows that there
IS no real scarcity. The dealers are try
ing to force prices to 60 cents all around
in the cities by Christmas.

Great Storm in West Virginia.

Great Storm in West Virginia.
One OF the worst storms OF recent years
prevailed in West Virginia, Ohio and
western Pennsylvania the past week.
The people Of the valley section and the
eastern part OF the State were fortunate
enough 10 escape the trouble. Last Sat-
urday afternoon about 3 o'clock rain be-
gan to fall in Shepherdstown, and from
that time until noon on Sunday there was
little cessation. What was rain here
was snow in other sections OF the State,
and it kept up until Monday evening.
Wheeling, Fairmont, ClarkSburg and all
the mountainous sections were over
whelmed, heavy, clinging, wet snow
covering the ground TO a depth OF from
fifteen to twenty inches. Railroads were
blockaded by great drifts that TILED the
cuts, thousands Of telephone and tele-
graph wires were broken down, trolley
lines were closed and roads made i'm
passabe. Freight traffic on the B & o..
and other railroads in this State was al
most entirely stopped, and passenger
trains were run only with the greatest
difficulty, few OF them being on schedule
time. The aggregate losses will run
into vast sums.
The storm was terribly severe in the
city of Cleveland, Ohio, where the gale
and the snow paralyzed business for
several days. The great lakes fet the
full severity of the storm, also. Many
vessels were wrecked and scores Of lives
were lost. The unusual weather con-
ditions prevailed also in Southwestern
Virginia and Tennessee, where such a
snow so early in the season was never
known before.

TangIe With the Taxes.


A good deal ofaunoyance IS being caus-
ed by the discovery that all ofthe tax bills
in Jefferson county have been made out
enormously. The State levy is 6 cents
on the 500, but ia the tax bills it is put
at ) cents. and consequently there is an
error in every bill. Sheriff Gardner and
his deputies have already collected
considerable amount of taxes, and they
will have to make a second call upon
these taxpayers TO collect the difference
due The State. The County Court has
been busy this week correcting the
numerous errors in the books OF the
county assessors. and the sheriff has
additional trouble in Strengthening out
this tangle.
