SALEM, Ore, Jan. 15.-The peculiar
shape of West WOODBURY., Marion
county, Ore, has got the town into

suit has been started by the district
attorney, at the instance of Governor

sists that the appearance of the town
on the map, which he likened to a
comet with tail, is caused by de-
sire to have liquors sold within its
borders, and that is the sole purpose
of the incorporation. 1t is so set
forth in the suit. Miss Fern Hobbs.

an investigation, reported that in

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES.
They Are Closely Observing Public
Health Conditions.

An examining physician for one OF the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the
astonishing statement that one reason
why so many applicants for insurance
are rejected is because kidney trouble is
so common to the American people, and
the large majority OF those whose appli-
cations are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
According TO this il would seem that
medicine for the kidneys, possessing real
healing and curative properties, would
be blessing TO thousands.
DIR. Kilmer & Co., Blnghamton, N. y
who prepare DR.. Kilmer'S Swamp-Root,
the well known kidney, liver and olad-
der remedy, claim that judging from evil
dence received from druggists every
where, who are constantly in touch with
their customers, and also indiSputab!e
proof in the form OF grateful testimonial
letters from thousands OF reliable citizens,
this preparation is remarkably successful
in sickness caused by kidney and olad-
der troubles. Every interesting state
ment they receive regarding Swamp
Root is investigated and no testimonial
is published unless the party who sends
il is reported of good character. They
have on file many sworn statements OF
recoveries in the most distressing cases.
They state that DR.. kllmer's Swamp
Root is mild and gentle in its action and
its healing influence is soon noticed in
most cases.
Swamp-Root is purely an herbal COM
mound and DIR. Kilmer & Co. advise all
readers who feel in need OF such REM.

To The Farmers of West Virginia.

On account of the war waging in Europe,
the Department OF Agriculture would ad-
wise farmers OF West Virginia to SOW a
good area of wheat this coming season.
No matter what the result OF the war will
be or OF how long duration, it has already
created market for wheat which will be
far beyond any demand we have had in
recent years.
Ii seems to us that il will be impossible
under the circumstances not to have a
good market for all the wheat that can
be produced in the United States next
year, and that the price will not be ma
ierlally effected. American farmers must
feed the world while Europe is fighting,
and we must keep up Our home supply
as we'll, which will also be drawn on ex-
tenSiyely by The warning countries.
Special attention should be given TO the
preparation OF the seed bed, and where
commercial fertilizers are used a grade
should be purchased that is adaptable TO
the soil. In our judgment the farmers OF
West Virginia will make no mistake in
giving particular attention TO this subject
this fall.
H. E. WILLIAMS,
Commissioner of Agriculture.

In Hagerstown the other day Justice
Douo severely condemned the saloon
keepers who are causing such wretched-
ness and who are responsible tor so much
evil in that city. He had before him in
the police court poor fellow who was
trembling in every limb and on the verge
OF collapse from the effects OF drink-a
man saidxo be good fellow but about
ruined by the saloons. Justice Douo
counted from the record the long list OF
those arrested for drunkenness, and he
declared that it was his opinion that the
liquor dealers OF Hagerstown were not
observing the law-thaf they were selling
to habitual drunkards, minors and others
in the prohibitive class. He said: "The
number Of criminal cases has increased
and is increasing and il is attributable, in
large measure, TO the illegal sale OF
liquor to the people who are in the pro-
hibitive class"
Hagerstown is getting the reputation Of
being one OF the worst towns in the East
one OF the most wide-open-and it is
the saloons that are responsible for such
notoriety. 1t is singular that the people
will allow the city to be dominated by
these constituencies saloon-keepers, who
are running so many men, women and

Shepherdstown Citizens Will Do Well

Many fatal cases of kidney disease have

THE great war in Europe is being
fought with increasing ferocity this week,
and il is believed that no less than $780,
600 men are now engaged in the fearful
struggle being waged against Germany
by the French, English. Russians and
Belgians. The armies OF Germany have
pressed on toward Paris, and are now
within sixty miles OF that city ne
French and English forces have Iought
the Germans with the courage OF despair,
but have not been able to stem the re-
sistless forward movement OF The kaiserS
terrible troops. The strict censorship OF
the governments OF Europe. and the iact
that no correspondents are allowed at
the front, prevents the war news from
being made public in detail. but 1t IS
known that the situation is very grave
for France. II seems certain that the
German armies will soon be at the gates
of Paris, and the people OF that city are
stricken. German airShipS have
already been flying over Paris and drop
ping bombs into the city.
The Russians have been invading Ger
many on the east in overwhelming NUM-
bers, and il is said that they have gained
a number OF victories over the German
and Austrian forces. One dispatch this
week says that the Russians inflicted a
terrible defeat on the Austrian army IN
Galicia, causing a loss of 20, 900 men. On
the other hand, the Germ1ns claim TO
have captured 10000 Russians and all
their artillery in a battle at Gilgenburg.
Russia continues to mobilize her armies,
and il is said can place 5000, 600 soldiers
in The field.
There seems to be no indication OF a
settlement of the war except by the
sword. 1t is fight to the death, espe-
cially so far as France and Germany are
concerned, and there will be no peace
until humiliation OF one side or the other
comes. The Germans and French have
called out the final reserves, which in
cludes the youths OF these countries and
all others who can bear arms, who must
take the places of the thousands who are
being killed or wounded or captured IN
the dreadful battles fought each day
There have been no decisive naval en-
gagements, although the English have
sunk several German cruisers that they
intercepted in the North Sea. The Ger
man war fleet is bottled up in harborS,
with the British vessels eagerly awaiting
a chance 10 get at them.
