TnE SECRET OF SUCCESS.
Genuine Merit Required TO Win the
Peoples Confidence.

Have you ever stopped TO reason why
il is tnal so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all al once drop Out
oi sight and are soon forgotten 2 The
reason is plain-ihe article did not iulsiI
the promises OF The manufacturer. This
applies more particularly 10 a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy Is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, 10 those who are In need oil II.
A prominent druggist says Take Tor
example Dr. Kilmef's Swamp Root, a
preparation have sold for many years
and never hesitate 10 recommend. Tor In
almost every case II shows excellent re-
suits, as many OF my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that J know oi
has so large sale"
According 10 sworn statements and
verified testimony OF thousands who have
used The preparation, the success Of Df.

The Care of the Hair.

There are two things that the hair must
have in order 10 preserve its health and
beauty: perfect cleanliness and a good
circulation Of blood in the scalp. Bad
ly treated or neglected hair is not beauti-
ful; il grows dry, and dull, and brittle,
and il the bad treatment continues il may
gradually disappear entirely.
Most persons do not begin 10 tremble
for their hair soon enough. They wait
until good deal Of il has fallen out, and
then they think TO set matters right by a
few appointments at the halrdreSser's
and bottle of tonic. But nothing de-
mands and responds TO good treatment
more than the hair. II is hard TO say just
how often you ought 10 have shampoo,
but be sure it is done often enough TO
keep both hair and scalp in condition OF
absolute cleanliness.
II washing seems 10 make the hair too
dry, use few drops Of some bland oil al
ter the shampoo. Do not put the oil di-
rectly on the hair, where il cannot posi-
bly, do any good, but massage II thorough
ly into the scalp with the tips OF The lin
gers. That needs TO be done only aitera
shampoo, in order 10 restore the natural
oil that the washing has removed, but il
is a good plan TO massage the scalp with
the tips of the fingers every day, doth
night and morning. That is perhaps the
most important single rule for those who
would possess fine hair. The massage
should be vigorous, but not rough, for
the purpose is TO bring blood to the sur
face OF the skin and to keep the scalp
freely movable on the surface OF the
skull so that the blood can circulate very
freely. The free circulation OF the blood
is the whole secre; OF the strength, the
gloss and the beauty Of the human hair.
Careful brushing with scrupulously
clean brush is also helpful, for il tends
TO remove dust, to make the hair more
glossy, and to make il amenable TO its
owners will.

How They Carried West Virginia.

The committee appointed by the last
Legislature Of West Virginia 10 investi-
gate charges OF bribery against five OF Its
members, who have since been convicted.
last week filed its report in The House
and Senate at Charleston.
The report strongly condemns the "ex-
travagant use OF money" in the late Uni
ted States senatorial contest, indicating
that Davis Elkins and his associates spent
$40 600; Isaac T. Mann and his associ-
ates more than $4,000, and Col. William
Seymour Edwards and his associates
more than $4,000. Judge Nathan Gptt
was chosen Senator.
The report further recommends that the
Kanawha county grand jury investigate
the evidence OF witnesses who appeared
before the committee and prosecute such
OF them as, in the opinion OF the grand
jury, were guilty OF perjury.
That $4,000 was contributed by him
alone to elect the Republican ticket in
1912. and that large sum was contributed
to save Governor Hatfield and others
from defeat, and that Governor Hatfield.
then a candidate, told him that he aud
the rest OF the ticket were lost unless
some such monumental sum was contrib
uted, is Colonel Edwards contribution
to the political history Of the State. Ed
wards admitted that he made the eonlri-
button TO prevent the State from going
Democratic, in the testimony he gave be-
fore the legislative committee.
Mr.. Edwards said Hatfield came 10 him
on October 30, 1913, and pleaded with
him as the 'lone helper and savior OF the
party" 10 contribute a sum sufficient TO
change the result which seemed imminent.
81 contributed the $4,000 In cash.

money Tor Hatfield II might have been
better. Maybe you wouldn't have been
here and maybe some others wouldn't
have been here"
MI. Edwards admitted that II was pos
sible that his contributions TO the cam
paign, both before and after the election,
might have amounted 10 more than $780,

lets OF former days.

lets OF former days.
The bullets used in our Civil War were
nearly twice the diameter OF those now
in use; their penetrating power was much
less than that of the modern bullets, but
they tore big, ugly holes.
The bullet in use to-day, although only
three -tenths OF an inch in diameter, has
great penetrating power. Ii leaves the
muzzIe of the rifle at a speed OF nearly
half mile second, and easily passes
through the thickeSt part OF a man. 1t
does very little tearing, and so makes a
wound with clean edges, which is much
less likely TO catch and hold germs.
In the present conflict, a vast amount
OF suffering for the wounded is prevented
by the use of anaeStheticS, especially
where operations have TO be performed.
1t is likely that the French and Germans
in their field and base hospitals are using,
when amputations have TO be made, such
special pain deadenerS as "novocaine"
and "Scopolamine," which are injected
into the spinal canal. They have the ad-
vantage that they do not leave a man
helpless for many hours after the opera
tion. They are utilized, however, only
in cases where operative treatment is
applied 10 parts OF the body below the
chest.
We may take il fer granted that the best
OF what is known in modern surgery is
being used in the treatment ofthe wound
ed in this war. For example, the great
est living surgeon OF the day, Alexis Car
rel, is now in charge of one OF the French
division hospitals. His skill is such that
he can take a nearly severed limb, join
the bones, sew the muscles together,
unite the cut arteries, and connect nerve
end with nerve end, and so make the in
jured arm or leg as good and useful as
ever. Under war conditions, however,
he can hardly have time TO do much Of
this panstaking work.
The prevention OF what are known as
"camp diseases, (which formerly wrought
such havoc in armies will save multi
tude OF lives during the present war.
Vaccination against typhoid will accom-
plish much; but even better as preven-
tive OF this malady is the practice OF boil
ing The soldiers drinking water. The
army doctors will see to that. AT the
same time, it is obvious that thirsty men
on the march will not refrain on occa-
sionS from drinking water wherever they
happen to findit-hence the value OF vac
cinaton.
Boiled drinking water is likewise a sat-
isfactory preventive OF cholera-although
when an epidemic OF that disease has
once fairly started, raw fruit and raw veg
etableS must be avoided.
TyphuS, which used 10 be called camp
fever" one OF the great destroyerS OF
armies in former days, is spread, as was
recently discovered, by the body lous e
Hence the way TO avoid the disease in
camp is simply to see that the soldiers
keep clean.

How A Snake Travels.

A snake moves along the ground by
contracting the ribs on one side OF his
body, and separating those on the other
side. This forms one curve. Another
contraction takes place at the end OF the
expanded side, and bends the body in the
opposite direction. Thus, there is a Sc
ries of alternate constructions and spread
ings of the numerous ribs throughout
the length OF the reptile as it lies on the
ground.
When the snake is in motion, some
parts of the body must secure itself against
a rough or projecting surface, from which
the forward part can be impelled. Then
the forward part takes hold and the him
der length is dragged to new position.
The row OF shields along the snakes
belly is very quick in seizing upon the
slightest projection, so that any rough
surface affords good track.
In climbing tree, the snake uses the
same process. 1t must find points OF
vantage Tor its curves. ltcannol possibly
wind itself spirally round tree.
