A VALUABLE SUGGESTION.
Important To Everyone.

II is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do tremendous
amount OF work in removing the poiSolS
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. Eyi-
dence of kidney trouble, such as lame
back, annoying bladder troubles, smart
ing or burning, brick-du 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 OF
Swamp Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bingtlamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention the

Progress on the extensive improve
ment work which the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad has under way between Orleans
Road and Little Cacapon, w. Va, is in
dicated by contract which has just been
placed with the American Bridge Com
pany, of New York, for $500 tons Of
structural steel to be used IN the two
bridges on the new line. The bridges
are at Magnolia and Kessler's Curve.
The Magnolia improvement, as the work
is known, involves the construction OF a
double track stretch Of eleven miles which
will provide four tracks over consider
able portion of the division east of Cum
berland. The plan eventually is TO have
four track stretch between Cumberland
and Martinsburg. Work on the Magno-
liza improvement was begun last spring,
and the rapiditY with which it is being
pushed is attracting widespread interest
Of engineers and others concerned in con-
struction matters. The work, it is esti-
mated, will cost 100000, and is part
of the vast program of betterment which
President Willard inaugurated soon after
he came to the railroad.

A Loon Migration.

The opportunity to see an immense ar
my OF looms marshal itself for the north
ward migration to the nesting grounds is
not often granted to human observers.
Last year flight started from San Diego
harbor. For weeks the looms collected
in tile harbor. They came from all di-
rections, until the water was fairly COW
cred with them. BY the middle of March
il was clear that the birds were preparing
for some great event. They had hitherto
been silent; now they became vocifer-
Gus, and their weird, demoniac laughter
was heard day and night.
About nine O'Clock one morning they
began TO collect into companies, each un-
der a leader, who SWAN about and in
spected his ranks with critical eye,
chased strdgglers into line, changed for
nations, and issued shrill orders with the
air OF a field captain. One old patriarch
seemed to be general in chief. He
swan sedately about from group to
group, consulted with subordinates, and
seemed TO point out faults in the forma-
tion, which the leaders hastened TO cor
rect.
There were great changing OF places in
the ranks; sometimes entire companies
would unite TO form battalion, and these
battalions join into regiments. 1t was
interesting to see that when several COM
panies had united, most of the leaders
Joined the ranks, and left single bird in
command.
About noon the ranks were all formed,
and the birds extended across the harbor
in long black line facing north. The
general, with his staff about him, swan
few PAGES in advance. When all was
ready, he gave loud call, and sprang in
to the air, followed by the entire army.
In two minutes not loon was left in
San Diego harbor.

NEW VOL. 48-No. 46.
Fighting tuberculosis.

Nearly one hundred cities and villages
in West Virginia have already begun
plans for the sale OF Red Cross Christmas
seals during the month of December, ac-
cording to a statement issued by the
Anti tuberculosis League OF West Viz
ginia, which is conducting the State sale.
This favorable showing so early in the
season indicates that the sale this year
will far exceed that Of 1912, when over
four hundred and fifty-seven thousand
seals were sold. Last year over forty
millions OF these little messengers ofgood
health were sold in the United States, re-
alizing about S40O, 900 for the campaign
against "mankind's greatest enemy"
These little Christmas stickers are sold
for one cent each and the proceeds do
mated to the work OF stamping out tuber-
culosis in West Virginia. They are used
on the back of letters and packages. on
statements, menus and any place where
they will stick.
The State League is planning to have
the seals sold in every city. village and
hamlet in the State and is carrying on an
energetic campaign from headquarters in
Charleston to accomplish this purpose.
tuberculosis leagues, women's clubs,
educators, postmaters, bankers and 9TH
er prominent persons are being called up
on to assist in stamping out tuberculosis
by selling Red Cross seals.
That tuberculosis, "a preventable disease,
should be the cause OF one-tenth OF all
the deaths in the country each year is one
OF the severest indictments Of our mod
ern civilization. and il is to combat this
White Plague that the State league is
working 10 raise money.

The u. s. Court Of Appeals in Rich
mond, Va, decided on Tuesday the case
of Amelia Davis. trustee in bankruptcy
OF the Charles Town Light and Power
Company, bankrupt, and others, appel
lants vs., Hanover Savings Fund Society,
the Peoples Bank OF Hanover, and John
R. Bittinger, appellees, affirming the
opinion Of Judge Dayton and Referee
James d. Butt. II will be recalled that
the Charles Town Light and Power Com
pany executed deed OF trust dated No
vember IS, 1904, to secure bond issue
for $4,000. The deed Of trust was with
held from the records in this county,
where the companY's property was loca
ted, for four years or until November 6,
1909. Meanwhile Charles Z. Ehrehah,
the principal stockholder OF the Light
and Power Company deposited the bonds,
or $4,000 worth Of them. with two banks
in his home town OF Hanover, Pa, as
collateral 10 secure personal notes he had
given them. Also the Charles Town
Light and Power Company, on the faith
OF the record showing no deed Of
trust against it, was enabled TO contract
debts TO the amount Of $4,000 or $4,000
meanwhile. The effect OF the affirmation
of Judge Dayton's decision by the Court
OF Appeals is TO deprive the unsecured
creditors of any redress whatever, and TO
give The Hanover banks all the proceeds
Of the sale of the bankrupt light and power
company's propeny.-AdVocdfe.

Swarmfng With Insects.

Insect pests are plague on the bound
ary of bolivar and Brazil. "ln the forests
and on the smaller rivers" writes COM
mander Herbert A. Edwards. R. n. r.,
in the Geographical Journal, "life is
made almost unbearable. Ants are met
with everywhere they swarm over ones
person in hundreds, and most OF them
bite most savagely. There is one kind OF
red ant, which lives in trees followed
out by themselves, whose bite is like
touch with red hot iron. II person
inadvertently touches or leans up against
one OF these trees the ants swarm out
upon him instantly, and his life for hours
afterward is long drawn out misery.
Then there are the huge ants, called
tucanderas, one and half inches in
length they live in the forks OF trees.
Their bite is particularly painful, and
causes the part affected TO swell up as il
poisoned. One of Our soldiers was
incapacitated for several days by a bite
of a tucandera. Red ants; black ants
which make broad, straight roads OF their
own and move about in battalions gray
ish white ants, living in red colored
mounds, six feet high yellow ants-each
and every one has its own particular
way of making unwelcome the intruder
into its habitat.
Butterflies during bright sunshine
settled on the surveyors and the instru-
ments they were using in such numbers
that survey work became an impossibility.
Nor is this all. Wasps of many colors,
but always with sting; hornets, which
gave no mercy to man or beast; bees of
all sizes, some OF which swarm in ones
shirt, eyes, hair, ears, mouth and nostrils
seeking moisture. Every blade of grass
has tick OF some sort, waiting oppor-
tunity 10 bury itself in some ones flesh.
"Spiders, horrid hairy creatures, with
bodies six~inches long, are sometimes
met. One of our men was stung or Bit
ten by one OF these when out shooting
his foot where he was bitten became very
inflamed and broke out into raw patches.
He had to be left behind, as we were on
the march. and when we sent for him
three weeks later he was still limping."
