great handicap TO Fairmont.

vided from Washington street plac.
ing the station about two blocks near
err the hotels and business section OF
the city.
While this site would afford enough
ground for passenger station 1t
would be entirely TOO small for q
freight depot and 1t would be mis-
take to undertake to enlarge 1t there,
not only for lack of room but for the
reason that it Is SO inaccessible for
teamsters.
In order that the most good may
be accomplished there must be a bet.
ter feeling exist between the B. e. o.
officials and the local people. There
must be spirit OF give and take and
a spirit Of forgiveness. Up to the
present time there has not been mucn

Fairmont to take" most any kind OF

we can see no fault with the present
attitude of the b. & o. and the only
cause for criticism Is to be found 1T
the long delay of the company in pre-.

The Romney liar who scnt out the
story last week to the effect that a
car load of flower seed had been
strewn for twenty.eight miles along
the b. & o. track causing the road bed

that a refrigerator car loaded with
eggs, butter and dressed chicken was
set on fire by hot box and the road
from Romney to Green Springs was
turned into delicatessen eating
place giving the populaee a veritable

CANCER MORE DURABLE THAN
TYPHOID FEVER.

Startling as this proposition may
appear. the observation of every well
informed physician must confirm it.
on due reflection.
Typhoid fever, like other infectious
diseases. Is never cured in the usually
accepted sense, namely, that the treat
ment applied removes the disease.
Every case runs its well understood
course. no matter what may he the
remedy or who may be the doctor.

The latter is greatly needed be.

symptoms, pathology and lethal ten.
denotes of the disease and the meas.
ures by which he may inhabit or re.
move them. in fact, the skitffut ply.
sician stands at the helm as does the
skilful pilot TO divert Just as the navi.
gator diverts the ship from the dan.
fGerous shoals. Both utilize the forces
of nature. the one trusting to the
healing power of nature. which was
first recognized by the father of med.
icine. Hippocrites. and the other
trusting TO the tides. the wind, the
steam or other propelling power. both
guiding with judgment born OF knowl.
edge the precious freight entrusted to
their care.
A typhoid fever case may recover
even without assistance. Not so with
cancer. Nature never cures or re.
moves this disease: It's course is in.
exorably fatal. Here the doctor may
step in and remove the disease alb.
Soiuteiy; there are few physicians
who have not made this observation.
why then Is typhoid fever regarded
as durable and cancer as incurable?
The answer Is simple: the human or.
ganism Is supplied with all the agen.
cies to restore itself when attacked by
the Eberth bacillus. which creates
poiSons that destroy life hut which
the organism is OF itself capable to
cope with. These agencies the phy
stefan understands. and he also knows
how to utilize them, Just as the pilot
knows how 10 utilize the tides and
the wind, The physician also knows
that the ligc term Of the bacillus is
definite and that II he can tide the
patient over this term he will recov.
or. He also sadly realizes that he can
change the course Of these processes
no more than the pilot may change
the tides or the winds. BY adapting
their courses to these existing natural
forces both are successful. Expcri.
cnce demonstrates that the earlier Tho
doctor steps in the more favorable
the issue. That the doctor cures a
case OF typhoid fever Is as hgurative
an expression as TO say the pilot takes
the ship to the dock.
Cancer. on the contrary, Is no;
amendable to any curative agencies
existing in the human body. The only
method Of removing II Is by the knife.
and the result depends entirely on
whether the removal has been accom-.

New Parcel Post Rates

Residents of this section who
patronize Uncle Sans package
service known as the parcel post,
will be interested in noting a
change of rate which goes into eff
feet on Thursday, January first.
The limit of weight Of parcels is in
creased from 20 TO so pounds, for
delivery within the first and second
zones, and from II to 20 pounds
for delivery within the third,
fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and
eighth zones. The prices for the
first pound run from six to nine
cents a pound, and from two to
eight cents for every additional
pound.
Few people know that practic-
ally every package sent by parcel
post as a Christmas present to a
friend had to be hauled by the
railroad absolutely without COM
pensation of any kind. The mails
are weighed and averaged for a
period of years. The principal
weighings took place shortly before
the parcel post law arrived, and no
arrangement has as yet been made
for compensating the railroads for
hauling the additional tonnage,
which is tremendous.

Town Without
Leading Citizens

A stranger came in the office the
other day and inquired, "Who is
your leading citizen?" "Our
what?" we replied. ''Your lead
ing citizen, the Town s bell-wether.
| inquired up at the hotel and the
gentleman there mentioned Mr.. -
Then | spoke to several business
men with the result of a different
name upon each inquiry"
We took him back in the office,
closed the door and said =
" We amt got none" "
'There is no such man here. We
wouldn't permit it. Of course if
pruned down, we should say Mr.. -
was the real 1t Of Newark, but
DON quote me, for we wouIdn t
want it known we said so-especial-
ly by the man himself. Newark
used to have leading citizens Just
the same as other country towns.
They are fine to have around but
we found they greatly retarded the
growth Of the town. Why for
years, Newark didn't grow a bit.
Some think it was the Leading Men
that did it. Any way, sort of
meeting of Public Opinion was
held, and without any particular
fuss the License for Town s Lead
ing Men were all withdrawn.
The town has been growing ever
since. In fact during the past few
years, Newark has outstripped the
State. No Leading Man hampers
the growth Of this town. 1t used
to be that newspaper man could
mt express his own opinion unless
he asked the Leading Citizen, who
usually held mortgage on his
plant and a lien on his soul. Now
the editor can say what he durn
pleases. Since the doing away with
the leading citizen, the country
publisher negOtiotes a loan instead
of Just going an debt.
Ne, we don need 'em much in
Newark and those who pose as such
to you are liable to arrest-they
have no license. If we hear of
such, we shall expose them in the
very next issue"
"Do they ever cause you any
trouble?' our friend inquired.
"Oh yes, at times, but they final.
ly come around. Our trouble just
now is the Board Of Trade. Not
meeting during the whole year
1913. Old Leading Citizens said
1t was no use. But we will get
them yet-just watch 1914 for a
Boosters Club for Newark.

that blocked it for years-but,
