Listen to how the new law works
in Virginia's sister state, West Vir-
ginia,-
On the testimony of a resident of
the city of Wheeling located in a
county that gave a majority of 1000
votes against prohibition) the follow
ing is quoted:
"The old cry of the vets that bust
ness would cease has been proven un-
true, as all of their alleged arguments
are proven untrue, if an attempt is
made to investigate them. The vets
raised the cry that the law would
make hundreds of buildings empty,
and that they would not be taken by
other businesses. Before the saloons
had closed the most desirable locations
were taken. Some now hold groceries,
some shoe stores, some confectioneries
some packing houses, and every build
ing that is at all in a desirable loca-
ton is taken by some legitimate bust
ness.
Moreover, big improvements have
been made. The German bank, the
National bank of West Virginia, and
the Quarter Savings bank, have &C.
quired some of the property and are
making extensive improvements. Or
the site of one saloon sky-scraper is
being erected. Another has been turn.
ed into a meat packing house.

West Virginia caused by the coal trou.

Are they feverish, restless,
nervous, irritable, dizzy or con-
stipated? Do they continually
pick their nose or grind their
teeth? Have they cramping
pains, irregular and ravenous
appetite? These are all signs
of worms. Worms not only
cause your child suffering, but
stunt it's mind and growth. Give
"Kickapoo Worm Killar" at
once. It kills and removes the
worms, improves your child's
appetite, regulates stomach, liv-

disappear and your child is made
happy and healthy, as nature in

of an American Citizen. The coffin vas
draped with the Stars and Stripes and the

body was honored with services at West

in the history of England that the tomb
OF ~Engfand's Kings and Queens was
opened to a private citizen of n foreign
country A fleet from the United States

to the American shores. Such was the
last homecoming of the man who, at the
age Of eleven years, was forced to mako
his own living.

became a partner in a general mercantile
concern, and by careful saving and hard
work he wa subsequently able to start q

American money abroad.
His faculty for overcoming obstacles
was remarkable, and his determined eff

He was one of Americas noblest BUSH

was: ID unto others as you would have
