TRIANGULAR CONTEST o.
YOUNG MEMS CHRISTIAN
ASSOCIATION COMES
TO CLOSE.
WHEELING WINS TROPHY, WITH
PARKERSBURG SECOND AND
FATRM0NT THIRD.

The Dig triangular membership
contest which has been waged for
the past seven days by the Young
Mems Christian association Of
Wheeling, ParIsersburg and Fair
mont was brought to a very success
full close last evening at $3.50
O'Clock. The complete returns show
cd that Wheeling had been success
full in winning out after a desperate
days work, thereby gaining posses
sion of the handsome silver cup
which was the campaign trophy.
Parkersburg finished second and
Fafrmont third. Wheeling scoreu
1925 points yesterday, more than
they scored during the proceeding
six days Of the campaign. Parkcrs-
burg scored 1899, while Fairmont
hing up 1904. AT the beginning of
the day Parkersburg was in the
lead, holding an advantage of l.?
points over the local organization,
which stoody second. All three asSO-
Citations put in a hard days work,
but the finish OF Wheeling was in
regular whirlwind fashion.
The campaign locally, was great
success. Even though the local Or
ganizatlon did finish last, the show
ing which it made in the campaign
was remarkable and indeed crafty
ing to all. At the beginning of the
campaign the memberships Of the TO-
cal organization and of Wheeling
were about the Same, while ParkerS-
burg's membership was somewhat
smaller. Wheeling has a population
Of about $4,000 and Parkersbur''
has a population Of about $4,000. 1t
will thus be seen. that the local US
ISOLATION was at a disadvantage, nav
ing only about 10000 people to draw
upon. Considering this condition
those in charge of the local cam
paign feel that the showing made by
the Fairmont organization was very
creditablp and indeed one Of which
We, as Fairmontcrs, need not be
ashamed.

Eradicating TYPHOID Fever

The value of the new antityphoid
vaccine is preventing typhoid fever
has been clearly shown in actual
practise on large scale. The vac.
cine has been given to thousands oil
men in the United States army and
navy, and in the French army, as well
as to many physicians and nurses
whose duties bring them into contact
with typhoid fever patients in large
hospitals The records show that in
oculation gives any one immunity
from the disease, even when con-
stantly exposed to it. Although the
exact length of the period of immuni-
ty is not known, it is at least year
Typhoid germs cannot live long in
water or in soil, and they cannot
survive for more than few months
when exposed to the elements during
warm weather. Since persons rend.
cred immune cannot contract the
disease for a year or more, it fol
lows that by carrying out systematic
immunization during the winter
months there would be so few ty
phoid cases the following summer
that the disease would be virtually
eradicated. Many believe that the
terrible scourge of typhoid fever IL
this country could be annihilated Il
for few years the health boards il
every state were authorized to ad
minister antltyphoid vaccine to every

ION of buttermilk, three pounds or
Portland cement, and sufficient of the
desired coloring matter to produce
the right shade.
The mixture should be stirred
thoroughly, and should be used im-
mediately, continuing the stirring at
frequent intervals, as the cement has
a tendency to settle to the bottom of
the bucket At the end of six hours,
when the paint is dry on the build
ing, it will shed water very effec-
lively.
The paint does not produce an ex-
tremely glossy surface, and on this
account is not adapted to use where
very fine finish is desired, but for
ordinary farm purposes 1t is excel
lent, as it preserves and improves
the looks OF the sheds, barns and
fences which Outlines are neglected
around the farmstead because OF the
rather high cost of paint.
Practically any coloring matter
may be used, although Venetian red
seems to be preferred in the majority
of cases. Buttermilk paint is also
of value in covering the injuries of
trees which have been excessively or
carelessly trimmed However, where
it is used in this way, the amount of
cement should be increased, so as TO
materially thicken the paint.--Mis-
souri, and Kansas Farmer.

they let the girl learn how to spend
on her husbands earnings, which is
pretty hard on Friend Husband.
1t isn't the girls fault that she
doesn't know how to spend her hus-
bands money wisely. It's the fault OF
her parents who have not taught her
one of the most important lessons in
life. That this Is true is abundantly
proven by the fact that women who
have earned their own living before
they were married, and who have thus
learned how to handle money, are al
most invariably economical and thrifty
managers and helps to their husbands.
There is no greater injustice in the
world than the way women are treated
about money. A woman without money
is the most forlorn and piteous crea-
ture on earth. She is in a thousand
times worse plight, and more danger
than man is under similar circum-
stances, yet fathers do not concern
themselves to try to protect their
daughters against such fate.
Boys are given money of their own
when they are little fellows in order
luAt tney IudS lSdTu 10 uduulS IT. UuL
the little girl is left to find out this
important piece of knowledge the best
way she can. A boy is fitted for some
occupation whereby he may support
himself in comfort A girls living is
left to chance. She isn't taught any
way by which she can keep herself out
of the poorhouse if she doesn't marry,
or ii her husband should die and leave
her penniless.
A rich man leaves his daughter a
fortune, but he has not taught her one
thing about how to take care of it, and
she is left to the mercy of executors
and lawyers, and she doesn't even
know enough to keep herself from be-
ing swindled.
Perhaps some day men will realize
that the only way to protect them
selves is to teach women how to han
die money by giving them a definite
sum for their own, instead of making
them do the mendicant act for every
cent they get. Then we shall hear less
about extravagant wives. It's ignor-
ance, not viciousness, that makes wom-
en- waste money.
