Drought about the change.
The promise Of spotless town are
still fresh in the minds of West Vir-
ginians. Perhaps Fairmont is spot
less, butt, II 80, the prevailing color
now is black instead Of white. One is
driven to that inference. at least, by
the reports on civic conditions that are
being given By the Fairmont West Vir-
ginian.
The West Virginian now seeks re-
lief from the state legislature in be-
half OF its local constituency. 1t
wants men elected to the legislature
who will be pledged to some much
needed reforms. They should be
pledged" says the West viRginian, ito
so amend the city charter TO provide
and insure that the so-called biparti-
san feature would not be a standing
Joke.
They should pledge themselves to
so amend it." continues the West Vir-
ginian, so that there will be no longer
any doubt about its meaning when
1t says that the commissioners shall
hold no other office or position that
Will conflict with their duties and
should make it an offense punishable
by fine and Imprisonment to hold
any other Office or position while re-
ceiving salary from the city.
They should pledge themselves TO
provision making It impossible for
the commissioners to either sell the
cid Fatrmont cemetery or the water
works plant,
THEY should make 1t an ,offense
punishable by fine and Imprisonment
to appoint officials against the spirit
and plain provisions of the charter
for partisan reasons when the char
ter provides that all these appoint
ments shall bo made without regard
to partisan distinction or control"
Pledges are also required for other
things to benefit the androgenous
municipality, among them election re-
forms. "A corrupt election board can
disfranchise a whole precinct" de-
clares the West Virginian, land there
is grave suspicion that such has beer
done many times in Fairmont in the
past"

Mr.. Sutherland.

It now seems highly improbable
that the Hon. Howard Sutherland. of
Elkins, will have any opposition for
the Republican nomination for con
sressman-at-large. This is as it
should be. Mr.. Sutherland, by
every rule and precedent, is entitled
to denomination, and his excellent
services as congressman give him
further claim to denomination and
reelection. West Virginia has never
had representative in Congress
more alert in his attention to the
needs Of the state, nor one that has
striven harder to accomplish things
IN the interest of his constituents
Mr.. Sutherland is peculiarly renre-
sentative of the people, and no sec
ton of the state has been too re-
mote, no individual too obscure to
receive attention at his hands-Fl-

HAVE YOU NEURASTHENIA?

Neurasthenia 10 condition of exhaus.
tion OF the nervous system. The causes
are varied. Continuous work, mental OF
physical, without propervacation periods,
without proper attention to diet and ex-
ercise, also worry over the struggles for
success, are the most common causes.
Excuses OF almost any kind may pro-
duce it. Some diseases, like the grip,
will cause neurasthena. So also will q
severe shock, intense anxiety or grief.
The symptoms are over-sensitiveness,
irrltability, disposition to worry over
triies, headache, possibly nausea.
The treatment is one OF nutrition of the
nerve cells, requiring a non alcoholic
tonic. As the nerves get their nourish-
ment from the blood the treatment must
be directed toward building up the blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills act directly on
the blood and with proper regulation OF
the diet have proved of the greatest bene-
fit in many cases of neurasthenia. A
tendency to anamia, or bloodlessness,
shown by most neurasthenic patients, is
also corrected by these tonic pills. Your
own druggist sells DR.. Williams Pink
Pills.

vous System" and "What to Eat and How
to Eat" will be sent free by the DR.. Will

THE TURN OF
THE TIDE?
r. w. Babson Looks for a
Marked Business Bet
torment
AND LOWER
MONEY RATES
Radical Legislation Will Be
Halted by the Elec-
ton

Boston, Nov 6.-Roger w. Babson has
just returned from Washington in a very
optimistic frame of mind and insists
that the tide has turned in favor of low
err money rates, more construction, bet
ter sales, and that this will soon result
in greater demand for labor. Mr.. Bah
son gives five reasons for his optimism
as follows:
~ "The administration at Washing
ton has been thoroughly frightened at
the returns from the election OF last
Tuesday. OF course they have always
realized that the presidents election last
November was due somewhat to dissen-
sions among Republicans and that Presi-
dent Wilson was not the choice of a
majority of our people. The administra-
ton has felt, however, that if it could
have put through, before the election of
last Tuesday, the various legislative
N easures which it had planned the Dem
ocrats would have received the support
of real majority of the nation. Of
course the returns fail to show any such
Endorsement, and it is believed that the
administration will take an entirely diff
ferent attitude during the next few
months. Whether the administrators
attitude has been right or wrong, up
to the presents it is believed that very
little more will be heard regarding rad
ical legislation.
~ within few days the new fed
eral reserve law will begin operations.
Few people realize what large amount
of funds this law will release. The To-
cal bank in my own little town of Wei
lesley will have 100000 more to loan
after this law goes into effect. What
ever the ultimate results of the law
may be, the immediate effects will be
to loosen money and reduce rates. This
must of necessity give an impetus to
business and especially construction and
development work, which is now at a
standstill. In personal interview
which | had with John SHELTON Williams, |
of the currency he not only |
emphasized the benefit that this new |
law would be to business men, but as
sured me that his office would do every
thing possible to help manufacturers and !
who are willing TO continue
operations and keep the water going
over the wheels, as he expressed il.
