Have Betrayed ProgfeSSiyes

We think it now plain to all in
telligent Progressives that they
were betrayed during the last
campaign by Hatfield and others
who pretended to be progress
ives. They are now in favor of
amalgamation. Knowing that
the progressives cannot be used
longer to promote their selfish
schemes they are very much in
favor of the get together policy.
we desire to warn the Progress
ives OF the State against these
men. The Republican stand-pat
leaders and the pretended Pro-
gressives who say they believe
in amalgamation, are as ready to
Detray you as ever. They have
betrayed you in the past and will
do so again if the opportunity is
given to them. Do not allow
them to betray you with kiss.
They tell us to come back and
help them correct the evils in
the Republican party by remain
ing with it and reforming it; that
is to say come back, stand by
and look on while the people who
debased and corrupted the party
reform it. Yes, let the people
who have never kept a promise;
who have ignored on violated
every party pledge; who have
progressed like the craw fish. re-
form the old hulk. Fellow Pro-
gressives, get on the firing line.
Do not listen to those who have
deceived and .wronged you. Do
your duty and there will be no
standpatism after the next cleo
ton. Point Pleasant Register.

Wonder in Surgery

Some wonderful things are
done in surgery, almost past be-
lief. Ross Allen got his nose and
lips torn off in saw mill. He
went to Baltimore and a section
of flesh made to the form of his
lower lip was cut out on his fore
arm and graf ing juncture with
the lip base. The arm was bound
around the head until the graft
ing was complete. This took
two weeks, when the lip section
vas cut from the arm and the lip
shaped. The same was done
with the upper lip. Now they
are building Allen up a nose.

George Westinghouse Dead

New York, March, II. Geo
Westinghouse, a foremost figure
In the world of engineering anC
inventor of the air brake thai
bears his name, died late tod !,
at his residence in this city.
Heart disease manifested itselr
about 10 months ago and the e d
came few hours after it became
publicly known that Mr.. We I.
inghouse was seriously i'll. He
was in his 68lh year. Funeral
services will take place at the
Filth Avenue Presbyterian
church on Saturday and the bur
ial will be in Woodlawn cemete-
ry.
Westinghouse became an in
ventor at the age of Is, when he
produced a rotary engine. Four
years later he constructed a de-
vice for replacing derailed steam
cars. Then when 81 years old
he sought the financial lacking
OF the late Commodore Corneliu
Vanderbilt for his now famou-
airbrake, perfected after three
years of labor.
DO you mean to tel me YOU
can stop railway train by
wind?' demanded the Commo-
dore.
We'll yes, inasmuch as air is
wind. l suppose you are right, "
spoke the youth.
L have no time to waste on
fools" said the commodore, thus
abruptly terminating the inter
view.
Westinghouse sought and
found capital elsewhere, manu-
featured his invention and made
high speed possible on railroads.
revolutionizing traffic systems
and inaugurating a notable era
of railway development.
Mr.. Westinghouse did not con-
fine his genius to railroading.
For half a century he continued
to make other contributions to
electrical as we'll as as engiteer-
ing advancement. His inven-
;ions and improvements had to
do with railway signaling; the
development of the alternating
current: system for electric light
ing and power, devices for safety
and for economically convey ing
natural gas over long distances
and using it for indus rial and
domestic fuel; air springs for
motor vehicles OF all kinds, and a
geared turbine system for the
propulsion OF ships, developed in
collaboration with the late Admi-
raj George w. Melville. u. S. N.
and John H. MacAlpine.
George Westinghouse was born
in the village of Central Bridge,
near Schenectady, N. Y, Oct. 6,
1916. and as a lad a.tenced the
pubic school in Schenectady.
He entered Union College but
left in 1863 to join the 18th u. S.
cavalry and served in the Civil
War. His love for engineering
led to his transfer to the navy
and before being in service a
year he was attached to the Po-
tomac flotilla acting as third as
sistant engineer.
In August, 1867, he married
Marguerite Erskine Walker, who
survive him together with their
one child, George, Jr.. who lives
near Lenox, Mass. The son mar

Letter from Rev. W. II. Beal

Below is appended letter
from Rev. w. H. Beal, former
Methodist minister at this place.
Rev. Beal writes to the Metho-
DIST Laymen's Herald from his
new circuit at Leivasy in the
southeastern part of Nicholas
county.
Dear Herald: Permit me to
say that we are now comfortably
housed in the new parsonage at
Leivasy, and to say that it is a
good one is hardly doing justice
to the faithful committee and
the good people who have made
1t possible. In fact it is a splen-
aid build and undoubtedly above
the average, especially of coun-
Try parsonages. 1t is a two sto-
ry house with four good rooms
IN main building and also kitchen
and dining-room. But | am a.
traid to tell you all l know about
IiT, for | suspect half of the
preachers in the Western Vir-
GINA conference will want to be
assignee to Leivasy circuit next
year. However it is a beauty
and If the boys will be good some
OF them NAV have the pleasure
OF living in It about four years.
And, yes, l was about to forget
to say that we had hardly got in
to the new house until a band Of
good people came and gave us a
good pounding. l did think they
might have waited until we got
things fixed up a little, but the
huge pile of coffee, sugar and
other things, was in keeping
with the general appearance of
things, and so we stood it the
best we could. And what do
you think of this, Mr.. Editor?
There was with that bunch of
folks one Martin S. O'Dell who
carried right into the dining
room and turned loose a real live
hog, about a sixty FOUNDER at
that, and with that hog squeal.
ing for liberty, the children cry
ing with fright, and that molly
crowd laughing and all talking
at once. you can imagine how
this pre- acher looked.
Well we finally caught the hog
and put it in the pen, (and by
the way it pays to build a hog
pen whether you have a hog or
not); SO when the children got
over their scare, we had some of
the finest singing / ever heard.
Then the mob dispersed, but the
pounding continued. as a few
days later three Of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. w, Journall's girls (and that's
all the girls they have) came
wagging a good sized washing
tub, packed full and running
over with the choicest of grocer
les and other merchandise fresh
from their general store. Well,
we certainly do appreciate these
kindly considerations and if such
is to be taken as an indication
of love and appreciation on the
part Of the people, then / must
concede that the Leivasy folks
must think good deal of Mrs.
Beal and the children.
We closed a splendid meeting
at Salem a short time ago; in fact
it was one Of the best meetings
in some respects that have ever
conducted. About twelve con.
versions only, but a general a.
wakening and a revival that |
feel sure will have permanent re-
suits.
We are getting along all right,
| think, and with the best of
neighbors and plenty of good
friends we ought to be happy
and contented.
And now, dear readers, as |
expect to write the Herald an
other letter about hog killing
time, will conclude with best
wishes for all

How You May Throw
 Away Your Glasses

The statement is made that thou. sands wear eyeglasses who do not need them. If you are one of these unfortunates. then these glasses may be running your eyes instead of help. ing them. Thousands who wear
 windows" may prove for themselves that they can dispense with glasses if they will get the following pre-. |scription filled at once: Go 10 any active drug store and get bottle of Optona; fill a two-ounce bottle with warm water and drop in one Optona tablet. With this harmless liquid solution bathe the eyes two or four times daily and you are likely to be astonished at tine results right from the start. Many who have been told that they have astiRmatism, eye. strain, cataract. sore eyelids, weak eyes. conjunctivitis and other eye dis !orders. report wonderful benefits from the use of this free prescription Get this prescription filled and use it: you may so strengthen your eyes that glasses will not be necessary. Thousands who are blind or nearly so, or who wear glasses, would never have required them if they had cared
 for their eyes in time. Save your eyes before lt is too latel Do not be- come one of these victims of neg.
 lect. Eyeglasses are only like crutches. and every few years they

What IS Wonan,s
 Beauty but Health
And the Basis of Her Health and Nigor Lies in the Careful
 Regulation of the Bowels.

If woman's beauty depended upon cosmetics, every woman would be picture of loveliness But beauty lies deeper than that. 1t lies in health. In the majority of cases the basis of health. and the cause of sickness, can be traced to the action of the bowels.
 The headaches, the lassitude. the sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are usually due to constipation. So many things that women do habitual. ly conduce to this trouble They do not eat carefully, they eat indigestible foods because the foods are served daintily and they do not exercise enough. But whatever the particular cause may be it is important that the condition should be corrected.
 An ideal remedy for women. and one especially suited to their delicate requirements, Is pr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. which thousands of women endorse highly. among them Mrs. q s. Vance, of 511 & Ray St. New Castle. Pa. At times she had spells of indigestion so severe that she thought she would. die. Syrup Pepsin regulated her stomach and bowels, and she attributes her excellent health today to this remedy.
 All the family can use Dr. Cald' wells Syrup Pepsin. for thousands of mothers give it to babies and chil' dren. It is also admirably suited to the requirements of elderly people, in fact to all who by reason of age or inhrmity cannot stand harsh salts,
