NfNPEctAL TO TttE IELHGNhA4k
c1HARLEsTONs May 31:-The adj

issued General Orders No. 10, proyid-
ing for the holding of the State Rifle
competition at Camp Dawson. Caddell.

which time the West Virginia rife

international matches at Camp Perry,

ginia team this year will be much
stronger than it was last year, accord
ing to Adiutant General G. D. Elliott
and other officers who have Witnessed
some of the practice shoots now being
held at Camp Kanawha. The shoot
ing of the West Virginia team at Camp

ton of the national matches, although
several of the good shots We're taken zen

department is as follows: ii

Recent fatalities resulting from.
the taking OF bichloride OF mercury

more care In the handling of house
hold medicines Tt would be q
good idea forsthe householder to

a less accessible place. There would
be less danger then of mistaking
poisons for similar looking drugs
and liquids or poisons in containers
similar to other less harmful
household medicines.
Another fault that often causes a
person to mistake medicines lies in
the labels placed upon bottles by
druggists. Both poison and name
labels are frequently stuck on with
an inferior quality or an Inadequate
quantity OF ml1cilage. Medicine cab
inets are usually stationed in bath
rooms, bath rooms are quite often
heated to a high temperature and
this high temperature will cause the
labels TO fall OF the glass bottles.
Successive shfftings of bottles and
boxes will thus misplace and trans
pose bottles of poisons and of other
medicines in similar Containers or OF
like colors.
1t would not be a bad idea for
architects to specify separate com
partments under separate covers in

and dozens of others were the ques-
tions hurled at the instructors at a
farmers institute recently held at
Cameron, Marshall county.
In answer. to the first question.
the instructor secured a young
chick which was suffering from an
extreme case of the gapes and with
a twisted horsehair sat down in front
of the audience and extracted mot
simply one, but three iY-shaped
worms from the chicks wtndpipe. No
one would have taken the chick Jas a

momentarily expected to die. This
simple treatment, however. speedily
produced noticeable results and ten
minutes thereafter the chick was
pert and sauey.

The red color showed the need Of

out so the farmers could make a
similar test upon their on farms.
This, of course, brought UP the dis
cussion of the different kinds of

being made TO send a man from the
