THE DEADLY TABLET.

Last week two prominent men
died in this country from poison,
caused by taking the wrong
headache tablets. Somebody
m ade the fatal mistake of put
ting the wrong label on the
boxes. The drug stores shelves
are filled with all sorts and sizes
OF tablets, nearly all of which
are very much alike in appear
ance. 1t should be unnecessary
to give warning. Druggists and
nurses and everybody handling
these deadly medicines should
be absolutely certain that the
label tells the truth. The tablet
is a convenient form of medicine,
and no doubt in many cases
helps in the relief of pain, but
all the same there is danger in
their use, unless taken as pre-
scrlbed. Far too many of them
are taken, anyway, but, if they
must be used the greatest eau
ton should be exercised.

Question.

The temperance people of the
State believe that it is their
right as citizens to vote upon the
question of licensing or no
licensing the manufacture and
sale of Intoxicating liquor bev-
erages in the State of Virginia
and desire to exercise that right.
They are earnestly seeking at
the hands of the next Legis-
lature the passage of an "Ena-
bling Act" which will give the
people of the State the right to
vote on the question of licensing
or no licensing the manufacture
and sale of Intoxicating liquors
within the commonwealth of
Virginia.
In harmony with the above,
we address you this note in a
most respectful way-if you are
elected Governor of the State of
Virginia, what will be your
attitude toward the Enabling
Act"?
We shall be pleased to have
any pertinent facts as to your
record on the liquor question
which it may be your pleasure to
give to the public.
We have the honor to be, Very
sincerely yours, j. w. Hough,
President Anti-Saloon League
of Va. j. d. McAlister, Secre-
tary.

Mr.. j. w. Hough, President,
! Anti-Saloon League of Vir-
ginia, Foster Bldg, Richmond,
Va. My dear SIR

edge your letter of May 10th in

Governor of the State of Vir-
ginia, what will be your atti-
tude toward the Enabling

fundamental principle of popular
government that where the
Constitution permits it, the

known, have a right, without
executive interference, to decide
by their vote any question they
wish submitted to them.
In answer to the closing
} paragraph of your letter l will
state as 10 my record that the

THE OLD SOLDIERS AND
GETTYSBURG.

The Board of Supervisors has
given $500 to pay expenses of
INDECENT Confederate soldiers of
this county to the big celebration
at Gettysburg, July LIST.
Emphasis should be placed upon
this provision, viz: that men
who are able financially to do so
are expected to defray their
own expenses if they wish to 60.
There are a number of soldiers
on the pension list, it is said,
who are able to pay their own
way to Gettysburg, and they
should not be given money from
this public fund, but allow those
to have the benefit of it who
otherwise cannot possibly go to
the celebration. How to divide
the appreciation equitably is a
question for the authorities of
the camp to decide. Certain it
is that there are a number of
the old soldiers who will not at
tend on account of physical in
firmities. No one, not fully able
physically to endure the worry
and fatigue of the trip should |

capable of defraying his ownl
expenses should be allowed to go

st. Clair Against Wilson.

Norton, Va.-There is quite a
little stir in this section on ac-
count of the election of that
committee at Bristol last week
endorsing Peyton st. Clair for
the collectorship of the Western
District. If our informtion is
correct Mr.. st. Clair was one of
Mr.. Wilson'S strongest oppo-
nents in the Ninth District. He
voted against every proposition,
from start to finish, that favored
Wilson's nomination. At the
Norfolk convention he opposed
instructions for Wilson-at
Baltimore he voted "A times
against him. If Mr.. Wilson is
going to appoint those who
opposed him "A times, and at
every other time they had a
chance over his friends who
stood by him then Mr.. Wilson is
not made of the stuff we thought
he was.
But that is not the only reason
for opposing Mr.. st. Clair.
What has he ever accomplished
for Democratic success? Upon
the other hand it seems as if his
own county, has given a de-
creased democratic majority
every election while he was the
district chairman. Giles, the
banner county of the Ninth even
away back in the readjustment,
stormy days would come up
smiling with 500 and 600 demo
cratic majority. How is it to-
day? "Swunk", powerfully, like
the darkey's fish, and that too
in face of the fact that other
counties have been steadily
gaining.
The still greater reason why
Mr.. st. Clair should not receive
this appointment is, he doesn't
need the office. He has fine
farms and all the cattle and
other stuff that one man needs
in this life. Will the Democrats
never learn the value of using 6
little common sense and tact,
We thought we had gotten fan
away from the old Bourbon
aristocratic idea of piling every.
thing on the royalty and let the
poor man dig or continue in the
sale of root pig" =. The com
mon people will resent such ;
policy in any party in this day
Of broad, progressive principles
Personally we like Mr.. st. Clair
and he is a fine fellow if tn,
democratic majority in Giles die
fall down to some extent. If h,
needed the Office we would b,
glad to see him get it ever
though he did vote against Will
son not only 44 times, but ;
hundred and 40 and a times.

WHERE STUART STANDS

Mr.. Stuart declares that he
will approve 1.-The Enabling
Act" if passed by the legislature,
should he be elected Governor of
the State.
Of course, the people should
be allowed opportunity to eX-
press their wishes and declare
their wants. One of 1.-THE
crimes" of the last General
Assembly was the refusal to
pass 1.-The Enabling Act".
Whether prohibition is right or
wrong, wise or unwise, is not
the question at all. The passage
of the enabling Act would only
have given the people of the
State the right to express them
selves on the question of state
wide prohibition.
AS we recall now, Mr.. Hart,
who is candidate for an impor-
tant job in the Western District
of Virginia, while Senator from
the Roanoke District, voted and
worked against this bill when il
came up in the Senate. Many
people in the State have this

lie office since he stood so firmly
against what he must have
known was the almost unanimous
wish of his constituents. Mr..
Harris action may have nothing
whatever to do with his appoint
ment to the office which he
seeks, and he may have had
good reason therefor, but all the
same the anti-saloon people and
others not affiliated herewith,
have this against him, and are
using it where it is supposed
to do the most good" If the
representatives of the people do
not represent, what are they
there for? The Enabling Act"
was righteous bill, as we see
1T, and every representative who
worked and voted against it is
spotted" and will be remem-
bered, Mr.. Hart, of Roanoke,
amongst them.

The work of man in dealing with

IN THE INTEREST OF BOYS

West Virginias dras tic
cigarette law, went into effect
on May 22nd. A few years ago
a law was enacted in that state
regulating the carrying of fire.
arms, which was considered
ultra in it's provisions. Later a
sweeping statewide prohibition
law was passed which will go
into effect in the near future.
And now, the cigarette law, as
drastic and sweeping as either
of he others, is in effect. Can
these laws, all of them righteous
in our judgment, be enforced?
1t remains to be demonstrated.
Among some of the provisions
of the cigarette law are the
following: No person, under
twenty-one years of age can
lawfully smoke a cigarette, or
have cigarette papers in their
possession. No cigarettes or
papers can be sold or given to
minors, no tobacco in any form
can be furnished to a child under
16 years of age. No smoking
can be done in any school build
ing, or any building used for
school purposes, or on any lands
or grounds used for school pur-
poses. Any smoker, violating
these provisions, or any mer-
chant selling or giving tobacco
in any form, or a pipe to minors,
is liable to a heavy fine, in de-
fault of which he shall be put to
work on county roads. Is such a
law sensible or justifiable? Ger
tain it is, that the cigarette
habit is growing, and in many
ways detrimental, particularly
to boys and young men. The
habit once formed is almost as
ineradicable and resistless as
the drug or liquor habit. A
cigarette fend to all intents
and purposes, is a dope fend.
Morphine, cocaine or liquor does
its work quicker but no less
surely. The cigarette fiend is
utterly incipacitated for certain
vocations. Not only the mind
but the nerves are effected, and
before middle life is reached the
man is old-prematurely, and
at discount on the market.
There may be some sort of ex-
cuse for an old man to use some
stimulant, especially if he has
been a tobacco user all his life,
but no such excuse can be offer
ed in the case of q young man
or boy. West Virignias action is
in the interest of the men and
women of the future, and should
have the moral support of every
citizen, particularly of fathers
and mothers. Rid West Virginia
of liquor and cigarettes, and the
boys and girls will have "a bet
ter chance.

the amount OF postage to be affixed to a
parcel post package is found in the fol-
lowing rules which apply from the town
in which the package is mailed:
To send package 30 miles, multiply
pounds by , and add 2, which equals the
amount Of postage
TO send a package 80 to 80 miles.
multiply pounds by I and add ,. which
equals the amount Of postage.
To send a package 80 to 300 miles.
multiply pounds by and add ,. which
equals the amount OF postage.
To send package 300 TO 900 miles,
multiply pounds by 8 and add ,. which
equals the amount OF postage.
To send a package 900 to 1900 miles,
multiply pounds by and add ,, which
equals the amout OF postage.
Local rate-Add to the number Of
pounds, which equals the amount of pos
tage. This rate applies to parcels to be
delivered from the post Office where they
are mailed.

AN EXPERIENCE TO PROFIT BY
Feeding on Wet Lawn Grass
and Glover.

1t is not generally known that the
overfeeding Of young chickens on
lawn grass and especially that vari-
ETY. which il well mixed with clover
when wet or frosted, will result in
killing them.
Nick Wolter, residing in the north
end Of this city who has raised some
fine chickens, had an experience
the past few days which resulted in
the loss Of 20 fine young fryer-.
The birds were Matched early and
had become Of marketable size
when they died.
Mr.. Wolter moved a lawn and
took the moved grass to his place
and dumped a quantity Of it in the
chicken enclosure. The birds ate
large quantities Of the green feed
and shortly after began to die. 1t
was learned upon investigation that
the crop, or craw Of the chickens,
became filled with the grass which
lay in the crop until it soured and
formed a gas, resulting in the death
Of the birds.
The mixed lawn grass and clover
appeared to act upon them just a-
alfalfa does when it is frosted or
covered with dew or rain, upon
stock.
From the experience Of Mr.. .Woltel
it would be wise for chicken raiser.
not to feed too much lawn grass
at time to their chickens, and e..
pecially when it is wet or frosted
