Food Best Medicine

Many of the most familiar
fruits and vegetables have dis
tinct medical values. The prop
er attention to the things we eat,
then, will make them serve both
the purposes of food and medi-
cine, and will enable us to save
some of the money spent on rem
edies and doctor bills. The fol-
lowing are some articles of diet
which are known to have medi-
cinal qualities:
Apples, carrots and Brazil
nuts are excellent for sufferers
from constipation.
Asparagus stimulates the kid
neys.
Bananas are beneficial to suf-
ferers from chest complaints.
Beets are fattening and good
for people who want to put on
flesh. So are potatoes.
Celery and onions are nerve
tonics.
Cranberries are astringent and
correct the liver when it is suf-
fering from inaction caused by
overeating.
Dates are nourishing and also
prevent constipation.
Grape juice is a laxative, but
the skin and seeds are likely to
cause constipation.
Honey is a good substitute for
cod liver oil.
Lemon juice is excellent as a
gargle for sore throat.
Lettuce has a soothing effect
on the nerves and is excellent
for sufferers from insomnia.
Onions are conductive to sleep.
They quiet the nerves and are
good for colds.
Parsnips, like sarsaparilla, are
good for the blood and to tone
up the system.
Tomatoes are good for a tor
pid liver, but they should be
avoided by equity people.
Water cress is an excellent
blood purifier.

WHAT is HE WORTHY

Too often when citizen OF the COM
munity dies we ask the question, What
was he worth?" meaning thereby how
many dollars had he accumulated and
how many acres OF land did he have
title to. At the best this is n shod-
dy and untrue standard for measuring
the value of mans life, for In the
best sense what he IL and has been
worth Is not expressed in terms OF his
land and bank account, but In the serv-
ice he has rendered his community in
real manhood, character and unselfish
service and contribution for its better
ment and toward making life In It
more sweet and wholesome. There are
scores Of men who today are scratch
Ing In feverish haste by day and burn
ing lights by night to secure their
"wad" when the truth Is that n dol
ldr or land title will be the last thing
In the world they will care to look
at or that will serve to cheer them In
their dying hours. We hear q great
deal these days about waste and con-
servation. In no realm is there need
for a more enlightened policy than In
o conservation OF human energy and
happiness by directing the endeavors
Of men toward things that last and
are really worth while.

WEALTH In CATTLE.

Vegetable and fruit raising has con-
tributed to the wealth of the farmers
OF the isle OF Jersey but 1t is the steady
income from the sale of the cattle,
which have made the island famous,
which is chiefly responsible for the
wealth Of the inhabitants. Gentleness
is the chief point which is observed In
the raising of the Jersey calf In its ma
tive home. After two or three weeks
the calf gets nothing but skimmilk or
skilligalee. The heifer is battered and
fed by hand and becomes very docile.
The cows are in pasture from May I'M
til October, but during the remaining
months Of the year are comfortably
housed. The cows are MIXED by the
women folk, and the greater part OF
the milk is used in the manufacture OF
butter, which finds ready sale at
fancy price. Few cows are kept on
the island that do not average pound
Of butter per day during the year

Bull MOOSerS Hold Meeting

Wheeling, Aug, 10. The Bull
Moosers of the First congress
sional district, at a conference
Saturday morning held in the
criminal court room, decided to
put a separate ticket in the field
when it comes time to name a
successor to John w. Davis.
The session was rather lively,
and quite a wrangle resulted
over the determination of one
faction to adopt a platform at
the convention, and of another
faction that no such declaration
should be made until the con-
gressional convention was held.
S. G. Smith, of this city, and
Attorney Nutter, of Marion coun-
ty, led in the verbal fight, which
reached a climax when Mr..
Smith disarmed Mr.. Nutter of a
draft of the proposed resolutions
which Mr.. Smith declared were
his. After a conference of a
subcommittee it was determined
to leave the drafting of the plat
form to the convention, which it
was decided should be held at
Moundsville at the earliest pos
sible date, to be designated by
the chairman of the COMPRESSION
al committee. and an effort made
to get the Bull Moose candidate
in the field before either the Re-
publicans or Democrats could
act.

WHY MEATS ARE HIGH.

While the high cost of living is
doubtless due to several influences.
there is little question that the high
price of meats is most important fac
tor. In way of accounting for the adj
vance In price Of meats one only needs
to consider the figures for meat pro-
duction during the past ten years. In
1902 there were 44,72S0O0 head of cat
tie In the United States, and In 1912
there were but 37,26O,0O0 head, which
Is a falling of of 746S,000. In the
case Of sheep there were in 1902 g.
100000, while last year there were but
o2,362,000 a decrease Of o,677,OO0.
Swine have increased from ~, COS, OOO
In 1902 to 65,410000 in 1912, but this
does not Offset the decrease in produc-,
ton In both cattle and sheep, which Isl
due In great measure to the breaking
up OF the great ranges in the western
mountain states

Turns Turtle into TygartS River

Fairmont, w. Va, August Is.
An automobile containing five
persons, one a babe, backed over
a twenty-five foot embarkment
into the Valley river near King
mont Sunday. The occupants of
the car were seriously injured,
but it is believed all will recover.
They are:
P. d. Calvin, of Pine Grove,
Wetzel county; Mrs. 2. D. Gal
vim and infant son; Mrs. F. F.
Morgan, mother of Mr., Calvin;
Donley F. Morgan, brother of
Mrs. Calvin.
The party was on its way from
Pine Grove to Fairmont. where
they expected to pass the day
with relatives. They lost their
way and made a wrong turn,
which was leading them away
from the city.
Discovering their mistake they
attempted TO turn the car on the
narrow road, when the machine
went over the bank into the
water and turned over.
Mrs. Calvin held to her babe
and both fell under the car.
Another machine passing at
the time took the party aboard
and brought them to this city,
where they received medical at
tention.

State to Return Firearms

Charleston. w. Va, Aug, 18.
If the adjutant generals office
respects the opinion of attorney
general A. A. Lilly, all the high
power firearms, confscated by
the state military when it invad-
ed Paint and Cabin creek dis
tricts and confscated firearms,
whiskey, beer and other things,
must be returned to the owners.
Il seriously doubt whether
confscation would be justified"
says the attorney general in clos
ing his opinion, in which he
cites but one authority, and that
is held to be against his conten-
ton by every lawyer and mill
tary man who has been read his
opinion. THE fact that peace
has been restored, that calm and
quiet prevails, and that the
great dissideration at this time
is a kindly feeling on behalf of
toward the law and the officers
thereof, and that the legal right
to confseate the arms in question
IS very doubtful if is thought and
believed that the proper DISPOSE
ton of firearms now sequested is
to return the same to those from
whom they were taken"
The opinion was the result of a
request from Captain G. w.
Woods, acting adjutant general,
for an opinion on whether the
state could confscate the high
power firearms by destroying
them, and not be liable to the
owners Of the weapons.

Sherbrooke, Quebec, Aug. 49,.
Harry K. Thaw's spectacular
fight from Matteawan ended to-
day with his arrest at Coaticook.
After his first excitement
Thaw has been quiet as an oys-
ter. This has been due almost
wholly to his counsel, w. l..
Shurtlef, hurriedly retained af-
ter Thaw had been arrested by
the village constable. Before
Shurtlef was retained, however,
Thaw see-sawed with declara-
tons that he was Thaw and that
he wasn't Thaw.
He frankly admitted his iden-
tity when first detected, yet off
cred to bet the constable $40 that
he wasn't Thaw. He told the
deputy sheriff who caused his ar

rest that he wasn't Thaw yet
told when placed under arrest
that he was Thaw and after
wards sent dispatches which
proved his Identification.
These kilograms were sent to
his mother, Roger O'Mara and
others who have played a lead
ing role in attempt to secure his
release.
Thaw faces deportation on the
ground that he is an undesirable
alien and extradition on a war
rant charging him with bribery.
The warrant already issued in
New York state for his arrest on
a charge of conspiracy will not
be suffice to extradite him in the
opinion of local authorities.
These authorities received word
tonight that the district attorney
of Duchess county, in which Mat
teswan is located on the way
here prepared to swear to a war
rant charging him, Thaw, with
bribery, an eXtraditable offense,
if necessary.
In his own defense Thaw
claims that he was merely pass
ing through Canada on his way
to DeEoit when his passage was
interrupted with arrest.

ParkerSburg Aviator Falls 200
Feet into Lake

Parkersburg, Aug. 20. After
rising for about 200 feet, his
Wright passenger-carrying aero
plane at the City park, shortly
after 3 o'clock yesterday even
ing suddenly dashed to the
ground and precipitated Aviator
Morris P. Priest, of Dayton,
Ohio, of the j. S. Berger COM
pany into the upper lake at the
City Park. Mr.. Priest was pain
fully injured, his nose being bad
ly cut by a wire on the machine
and his face being cut slightly in
other places. The machine is a
total wreck. The fact that the
machine landed in the lake was
no doubt responsible for the avi-
alor escaping with his life.
Aviator Priest remained in the
machine until it struck in the
water. 1t turned turtle just be-
fore it struck but he held to his
seat and just as the machine
struck he was thrown from the
seat amid the wreck of the ma
chine.
He was placed in an automo-
bile and FASTENED to the office of
DR.. Wade CASTOR where the in
Juries was dressed and as soon
as he had recovered from the
shock he returned to the park to
assist in tearing away the wreck
ed parts of the machine.
AS soon as he returned to the
wreck he began lamenting the
loss of the machine. What do
you care for that" said another
aviator. You are still alive. !"
Mr.. Berger has wired for another
machine.
If he gets another machine |
hope he will give me trial. :"
This was the only remark the
aviator made. He was not at all
excited over the experience of a
few minutes before. Shortly af-
terward he was telling of the
flight. He said that he did his
best to right the machine but
that in spite Of all he could do it
swerved to the ~, of the
course he was inten g8g to follow
and dashed to the ground. AT
ter he has attained an altitude
of between 100 and 200 feet he
undertook to circle the field so
that he could reach a good alti-
tude before he started away on
the flight.

Good Roads

we, Iue people OIL CalnOun
county, are a progressive peo-
pie. There is an evolution, or
changing of conditions, going on
all the time. There was a time,
perhaps, when but few people
lived in this county, that roads
were not needed. At that time
path or trail was sufficient.
AS the population increased
roads became a necessity. The
time is now at hand when good
roads are a necessity. Our pro-
gress relative to good roads is
not keeping pace with our pro-
gress in other affairs.
Much was said in the last
campaign about progressiveness.
The people now haye progress
i've ideas inculcated into their
minds. 1t is gratifying to know
that antiquated ideas have be-
come a thing of the past.
Perhaps some complaint has
been made about our present
county officials, and road super
visors. If, prior to the last gen
eral election, We, the voters of
Calhoun county, had good honest
upright American citizens, with
big red corpuscles in their veins,
to select from, for our county Of
fees, and we did not select them,
we are to blame. If we have no
such men we are to be pitied.
have no time to acquaint my
self with existing conditions. l
am not in a position to say
whether our county officials are
doing us justice or not. Howev-
er l can say that they were elect
by a majority of the voters of
the county and if the voters
made mistake they should not
waste much time knocking"
but should do some work on the
county roads.
| would suggest that every
man and young man appoint
himself a committee of one TO
see that we have better roads.
Fill a mudhole with gravel, open
a water ditch, remove some
loose stone, or remove by blast
ing, a solid stone that has al
ways been an eye sore to travel
ers.
Macadamize a rod of road. Do
something.
If each farmer of the county
cannot make the road good where
it passes through his farm, he
can at least make some improve
ment. 1t will increase the val
ue of his farm. If neighbor
Jones" is too busy to do any
work on the roads ! would sug-
gest that he hire a man a few
days. Get the good roads fe-
ver." Get the good roads habit.
The time is coming when Cal
houn will have good roods. Are
we going to build them or are
we going to leave that work for
our posterity? l am optomistic
enough to believe that in the
course of a year or two we will
have better and wider roads
on better grades. Loose
rocks will not be so abundant.
There will not be so many ex-
posed solid rocks. We will have
many more bridges and culverts.
We can then speak of our roads
with pride, and drive over them
with satisfaction and admiration,
Let US all join in the good roads
movement and not neglect it I'M
Ill many of us shall have passed
to the great beyond from whence
no traveller ever returns.

Ihaw Escapes from Mattewan
Captured in Canada

The limousine had been left be-
hind. At the speed at which the
black car travelled through
Stormville, they would have been
out of the state in half an hour.
Barnum's breathless declara-
ton at the asylum brought DIR.
Kieb to his feet like pistol shot.
Within a moment he was stand
at the telephone and as Barnum
told the story he repeated it to
the police. &E
Matteawan became the center
of ripple of telephone and tele-
graph alarm. "He might as
well have tried to chase a IL
pound shell. The high speed of
the car the nearness of the state
line and the inferior speed of the
pursuing cars made the case
helpless, said DR.. Kieb.
DR.. Kieb started in pursuit in
the prison automobile. Five
minutes away he met livery
man named Flanagan.
I saw him." Flanagan said.
He was near Steephill and 60
ing 60 miles an hour. 1 saw him
coming and just had time to
crowd my horses to the road.
Just let him keep on and he'll
break his neck. Flanagan rec
ognized Thaw on the rear seat.
The limousine was trailing the
car.
According to the account given
by DR.. Kieb when Barnum open
ed the gate to let the milkman
enter he let it remain open and
so far as DR.. Kieb could judge
he stood by and let the prisoner
walk out.
After rigid investigation, DR..
Kieb said tonight that Thaw
planned flight on Long Island.
This investigation also disclosed
the fact DR.. Kieb added that
four of the men who aided Thaw
came to Matteawan Friday.
They registered at a hotel as,
Rogers Thompson, Richards
Beetle, Michael O'Keefe and Eu-
gene Duffy, all of New York.
The fifth man aidingin Thaw' 8
escape came to Matteawan Sat
urday. He joined the group at
the Holland hotel, where he reg
istered as Thomas Flood, of New
York.
The four men, who arrived
Friday were described as rather
sporty individuals" according
to the proprietor of the hotel.
They spent most of their time in
the bar room. At Gas this morn
ing they paid their bills. There
was a considerable wait before
the cars were ready. then they
drove away leisurely.
Two Of the men got into the
back seat Of one automobile.
The other two in the small car.
The two autos proceeded along
Main street in the direction of
the asylum.
The asylum housed Thaw not
as a murderer but an insane per-
son. The jury that sent him
here acquitted him of the muir
der of Stamford White on the
same ground that he was sent to
the hospital that he was insane.
Hence he could not be brought
back to New York on murder
charge. He could not be arrest
ed in any other state as he is
charged with no crime.

EXTENDING THE CORN egLr.

L. 8. Thorpe of Trail county, N. d.,

winner In a five acre corn growing
contest which was open to all farm

cultivated twice with a single horse
culdvator, dragged once with a tooth
harrow and hand hoed once. Early I'm
July the field was hit with two hail
storms, which made further cultivs-
ton impossible. With such a Weld so
FAR north the area of the corn belt has
surely been stretched.
