Meaning Of the Election.

Clarksburg has prosepered under
it's city government. 1t is growing
greater and better all the time. 1t is
buster than ever before.
A city's government always has very
much to do with its, progress ana no
one denies that the city has enjoyed
and is enjoying a great growth along
all legitimate lines. This certainly
establishes the character of its gov
eminent.
Decisive was the vindication Tues
day at the polls of the kind of govern
ment Clarksburg has had and now
has. There can be no mistake about
it The people are in no humor for
radical change, especially experiment
tal government.
The election results also stamped
disapprovaf on unholy alliances in
politics and doubtless have taught
lesson not soon to be forgotten.
The election means that Clarksburg
will go right along in the even tenor
Of its way and keep on growing great
err.

Health in Country schools.

That eighty per cent Of the chill
dren in country schools drink tea
and coffee; that forty per cent of
them suffer from almost constant
toothache and that nineteen to
twenty-6hree per cent have frequent
headache; these are some of the
surprising facts brought out by Dr..
Ernest 3. 5Hoag. q Minnesota, in y

Hoag, nearly all the children arise.
When i ask how many have a tooth
brush, nearly all say they have, but

ailments were perfectly natural

strain.
From twelve to fourteen per cent
of the country school children suf-
fer from earache, and four per cent
have discharging ears. "Adenoids,
earache, discharging ears, deafness:
that's the order we find over and

Read the Labels.

In the April Woman's Home Com
panlon John. Phillips street, pure
food commissioner of Connecticut,
writes avery interesting message,
an extract from which follows:
There seems to be general thl-
preston that the pure food law pre-
vents the manufacture and sale Of
impure food. This. unfortunately
is not so. The law simply makes It
possible for us to tell the pure food
from the impure.
The manufacturers obey the law,
but some of them obey only the lesz
ter OF the law.
Your part is to make the law USE
full, to protect your stomach and your
pocketbooks by reading the labels
which the pure food law compels the
manufacturers to paste on their
products.
This is not so simple as 1t sounds
Manufacturers often try to befog the
consumer by using complicated las
bells filled with long scientific terms,
or by employing tricks of punctua-
ton and printing. The housewife
who can see through these tricks and
correctly interpret these labels viii
always receive the worth of her
money. /.
!. Adulterated food is not necessari-
by injurious to the health. but it is 10
the family purse. Any adulterated
food product, properly labeled, may
be placed on the market, provided
that the adulterant employed is not
delecterious. pure food needs no la
bel. An impure food often needs
much explanatory data to make lis
sale legal. The more explanation
a label carries the more watchful
and wary the housewife should be il.
examining it.
1t is the province of each house
wife to decide whether she wishes
such authorizations served ON her ia
bic as matter of economy. But ii
is ridiculous for her to pay for such
adulterated food as much, 'oy almost
as much, as she would pay for pure
and wholesome article.
