A VALUABLE SUGGESTION.
Important To Everyone.

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to a re-
markable degree and do tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisonS
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. Evil
dence of kidney trouble, such as lame
back, annoying bladder troubles, smart
ing or burning, brick dust 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.. Klmer's Swamp-R Root.
You may receive sample bottle OF
Swamp Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., 'Binghamton, n. y,
and enclose ten cents also mention the

Prohibition Law To Be Enforced.

c. F. Rathbone, OF the State Tax COM
missioner's office, gave out the following
interview at Clarksburg. in regard TO the
enforcement Of the prohibition law:
1T seems TO be the opinion" he said.
''that through strict enforcement OF the
prohibition law lies the only means OF
starting a reaetionary wave OF sentiment
through Which the amendment might be
repealed. Acting on this assumption, !
understand that several OF the biggest
brewers IN the State will contribute to
fund intended to assist in the strictest en-
forcement OF the law.
"However, do not think outside help
will be needed. Even should the county
authorities fail TO maintain the provisions
OF the measures as they are written. the
StaiesTax Commissioner will see TO II
that relentless war is waged on any at
tempt at Illicit traffic. Commissioner
Blue is very pronounced In his views on
what methods must be adopted, a stand
that is coincided in by every man In the
department. Furthermore, we have the
most stringent law OF this kind ever
passed. Therefore, il is safe to say that
prohibition will prohibit in West Virginia
as II never has anywhere else"
''fiow about the possibilities oi a con-
test on the consiitutionality oithe amend
ment," he was asked.
"There will be none," was his reply.
"All this talk OF carrying the fight 10 the
Supreme Court is Chimney talk The
only ground II could be based on would
be that under the constitution an amend
ment could not be postponed In taking
effect, but must 90 into force Immediately
upon its adoption. That, however. would
not effect the amendment. The only de-
cision the Supreme Court could return,
and on this we are advised by some OF
the greatest lawyers In the State, Is that
the liquor business has been ilourishing
illegally ever since The amendment was
adopted, but in no wise would the future
effect OF the measure be detracted from.
II would be just as much law then as Il
was when adopted"

Potomac River Plans Rejected.

Lieut-Col. VIM. c. Langfitt, of the
Engineer Corps OF the Army, sent a no.
tification to the effect that the report on
preliminary examination of the Potomac
river, with view to making il navigable
from Washington to Cumberland, has
been completed and is unfavorable to the
project. This survey was authorized by
the River and Harbors Act of Congress,
passed on July Is, 1912. II called for a
survey OF the Potomac river, from Wash
ington to Cumberland, with view to
making it navigable by locks or other
wise. Communities all the way from
Washington TO Cumberland were inter-
ested in this project and four States were
awaiting the report, having interested
themselves through their members OF
Congress.
The reasons given by Colonel Langfitt
for the unfavorabe report on the project
are comprised by him in the notice he
sent out in a ingle sentence:
"That the very large cost OF any suit
able improvement and of its after opera
ton and maintenance are not justified at
the present time by any resulting benefits
to commerce"
An appeal may be taken to the Board
of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors, a
permanent body sitting in Washington.
to which the unfavorable report in the
upper Potomac river project has now
been referred.

Protecting Wild Plants.

The fact that several species OF British
plants, including some ofparicular beauty
and renown, are in danger Of extinction
owing 10 ruthless gathering on the part
of the public in general and nurserymen
in particular, has recently formed the
subject of many communications TO the
British scientific journals and newspapers.
and was actively discussed al the last
meeting OF the British Association. OPP
inion seems TO be divided as TO whether
or not the appropriate remedy is to be
sought in state protection. Although
many wild birds and other members OF
the animal kingdom are now commonly
protected by law in civilized countries,
there are few precedents tor the state
protection Of wild plants lone OF the few
being the case Of the climbing fern in the
United States). The education Of public
on This subject and other protective meas
ures have been undertaken by commit
tee OF the Selborne Society. One pro-
posed remedy IS the establishment OF
plant and fern sanctuaries, or at least
gardens set aside in different localities
where very rare British species might be
carefully preserved and perpetuated.

Shephedaown Jefferson County, November Z 1913

went to Leyden band Of Puritans, who
had left England to seek more congenial
spot. In that city they lived for num-
Der of years, sharing the hospitality of
the Dutch and joining with them in their
feasts and holiday customs. Many a
time did they eat hodge-podge on Octo-
Der Sd, and so learned the significance of
true thanksgiving.
When at last, in 1920, they left the
kindly city and sailed for their destination
in the New World, they doubtless took
with them the memory of Leyden's
Thanksgiving. In the succeeding years
they found that they had their own causes
for thanktulness, and in celebrating this
New World festival, they deemed il ex-
pedient to substitute roast turkey and
pumpkin pie in place Of the historic
hodge podge of Leyden.

Where true thankfulness is there can
be no selfishness. For the honestly
thankful man must be filled with sense
of his own unworthiness TO enjoy the
good things that come to him. Humility
must mark his attitude toward his own
blessings. The next step is TO share
them as far as this may be done with
others less fortunate though quite as
worthy as himself.
