ical Society, w. Va: MI
Dear Doctor:
There has been introduced at this
session of the legislature, ~ bill
to abolish Miners Hospital No. 9, 10.
Gated at Fairmont, w. Va, and in its
place establish a State Hospital for
INDECENT Crippled and Deformed Chill.
dren; t2) County Aid Bill, to permi.
the county courts to expend county
funds In payment for hospital services
rendered to the poor in the counties
throughout. the state.
The introduction OF these bills
marks a step in the right direction.
The first bill will change the Miners
Hospital at Fairmont, VIVA, into an
institution which Is actually necessary
to the state. The second bill will pro.
cure county aid for our general hos.
pitfalls in the counties throughout the
state, and in itself is one OF. the most
important bills ever introduced before
any legislative body, and deserves tn.
utmost Consideration and support.
| am enclosing herewith copies OF
Questions and Answers concerning
Miners Hospitals, bill relative to
proposed change and copy OF reso.
luton already adopted by some of our
county societies., covering both bills.
Z hope you will realize the necessity
OF immediate action of your society by
adopting a resolution similar to the
one enclosed, and sending a copy with.
out delay to each of your respective
members Of the legislature and also
the governor of the state, Hon. III, d.
Hatfield.
Very truly yours,

nitely whether the Progressive party
will be recognized In the organization
OF. tho new house. 1t has been pretty
generally understood that the Bull

seven, will have no Official standing
as party after the close ofthe pres

One OF the purposes for which the
caucus was called Is torfl!l vacancies
on the Democratic side in the ways
and means committed.
Six Democratic Places.
There are; six Of these places to be
filed. The eingie Republican vacancy,
caused by the death Of Serene E.
Payne, OF New York, will be filled on
Recommendation by. Representative
Mann, the Republican leader. There
is also q Progressive vacancy, result
ing from the fact that Victor Murdock
will not be a member of the next
house. q 1890 u ~,
It is probable that the Democrats
will leave the Progressive place open.
with a view to turning 1t over 10 the
Republicans. Should Mr.. Mann want
to recommend Progressive for thu
place, he may do SO; but he probably
will be given to understand that 1t is
matter that rests entirely with his
own judgment. - s.s;Ss-

OF the six Democratic vacancies,

OF Maine. WIS. Hammond, of Mime
sofa, also has retired, and Guy, 7. Hell
vering, OF Kansas, wants that place
and will probably get:it
Casey to Succeed Palmer.
The place on the committee made
vacant by the retirement of Represen
tative Palmer will be filled by Repre-

BRACELETS FOR WRISTS ANKLES, TOOLS

With bands on her ankles and,
bands on her wrists the summer girl
has added a classic touch to her sum-
mertime fnery and now when she
dances o'nights she wears bracelets
on her ankles and wrists.
ct was from the Roman gladiators
l used to draw in art school that 1
borrowed this idea of the ankle and
wrist bracelets" says Miss Virginia
Rape, with whom the quaint idea of
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-06-11

the ankle and wristband originated.
''The gladiators wore bracelets of
gold to. give strength, no doubt, to
their wrists and ankles, but l didn't
see why I couldn't appropriate them
and add to the GRACEFULNESS of
my wrists and ankles that's
just what did. 1 used cloth of gold
instead of gold, however, for my
bracelets, though cloth of silver
would be equally good"

But" 1 hear some young girl say,
who is about to marry, "this teaching
girls from the cradle to be successful
wives is a plendid idea and 1 shall
begin with my daughters just as soon
as possible-if / have any; but my
mother did not teach me to keep
house and take care Of children. 1
have been taught that when a man is
looking for a wife he is not looking
for a children's nurse nor a house
keeper, nor even a healthy woman to
breed his children.
81 love the man am going to mar
ny devotedly and know he loves me
we are unhappy out of each others
sight. Surely there is no possibility
that we who love each other so I'M
utterable viii not be happy when we
are made one in reality as we are
now in mind and heart"
My dear girl, you have started from
the wrong premises. It is a human
impossibility for two people to be
zone in mind and heart" To be so
they must have the same tastes, the
same desires, the same ambitions,
the same hopes, the same pride, the
same prejudice and exactly the same
viewpoint and standpoint in life.
They must have been born with the
same temperament, bred in the same
environment and educated along the
same lines.

NINE. SCHUMANN-HEINKS ADVICE TO JUNE
BRIDES"PLAY THE GAME FAIR

You can see that all this is an i'm
possibility. But each couple that
marries must adjust these differences
in fundamentals and right here is a
good place for me to say that sue
cessful marriage is like a successful
political sinecure- series of COM
promises. "
We can gain some things by giving
up others and the firsI thing a sue
cessfuI wife should learn is that the
little things don't count much.
Whether you go to musical COM
edy or grand opera is not worth fight
ing about because most of you can
go to the musical comedy with your
husband at night, if that is the one
he prefers, and to grand opera mat
inee in the afternoon by yourself.
But whether your children shall be
given the proper education or allowed
to leave school too soon is thing 20
fight about, provided your husband
is not on the side of the education.
You see my point. Use tact, be
just, play fair, but stick to your prin-
ciples, for without doing all these you
may love your husband devotedly and
still be an unsuccessful wife.

COUNTY GETS
FULL SHARE
of Available Funds for State Aid
and Work Will Begin at Once
On Roads Designated.

Hon. II. C. Terrill, Commissioner
of Public Roads has apportioned the
funds available for state-aid to
roads and Montgomery county gets
the full amount asked, 100000
One half of this sum will be spent
in constructing a gravel road from
Jeffersonville to the Menefee coun-
ty line and the other half to re-
construct with macadam the Owings-
vile turnpike road from the Bath
county line to Ewington. This in
formation was obtained by us by
telephone from Commissioner Ter
rill and work will be begun within a
very short time in order that same
might be completed by fall. The
sum allotted to Montgomery county
is about $4,000 more than over pro-
portionate part of this tax.

REDUCTION MADE 7
In SALARIES
City Council Makes Many Changes
In Salaries of Which the. Pub
lie Approves.

We have heard a great many
people compliment the City Council
upon the step they made last Tues
day night to curtail the expenses Of
the city and the reduction in sal
aries Of the officials seems to meet
the general approval of the taxpay-
ers.
The Office of City Tax Collector
WIS abolished and combined with
the Office of City Treasurer, whose
salary was fixed at $4,000, in ad-
dition to per cent. for collecting
taxes up to $4,000 and 2 per cent
in excess of $4,000. The abolition
of this Office will save the taxpayers
several hundred dollars. The
changes in the salaries of the May
or and Police Judge cannot, under
the law, take effect until the terms
of Office of the present incumbents
have expired as they are elective
Offices and their salaries cannot
be changed during Office. The
salary Of the City Attorney reduced
from 5000 to $500; City Clerk from
$500 to 5000; City Physician from
$500 to $50; Police Judge from
5000 to $500; Mayor from 5000 to
$500; City Assessor from $3.50 to
$3.50. The changes will amount to
a reduction in the city's salary roll
Of about $1,000 per year until jan
uary, 1918, when the further re-
auctions will be effective and bring
ing the total reduction per year up
TO around $4,000.
We understand that other changes
are contemplated that VIII result in
a further saving TO the city. The
present Council is making every eff
fort to reduce the running expenses
of the city.

mcCHEsNEY SCORES
LIQUOR INTERESTS

Hon. Harry ". McChesney, for
merly Secretary of State Of Ken
lucky, now candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Cover
nor on Statewide prohibition
platform, opened his campaign at
Louisa Monday in the presence Of a
crowd that filed the Lawrence coun-
ty courthouse and several hundred
persons we're turned away, not be-
ing able to find even standing room.
Mr.. McChesney excoriated the IL
quor interests of Kentucky and
made a decided hit with his audience
when he declared that it was la
bility and not an asset from the
standpoint of returns to the State.
He declared himself in favor of
abolishing the liquor traffic in Ken
lucky and n favor of submitting
the question to the people.
Next in point of interest to his
remarks on the liquor question Mr.,
McChesney aroused almost as much
applause by his denunciation of the
lobby at Frankfort and its interfer-
ence in legislation. He also empha-
sized the Importance of good roads
and good schools to the welfare of
the State.

Editors Advocate,
City.
"Dear sirs:

'Dear sirs:
"Your article in this weeks issue
with reference to oiling and water
ing streets is a most timely one. 1t
is to our discredit as city that
this has never been done. As you
stated, we are indeed probably the
largest town in the State having
neither a water-cart or oiled streets.
You are also correct in two other
statements you make, namely: first,
that only small villages can afford
to depend upon each property hold
or to sprinkle in front of his own
place, and second, that the fact that
some are unwilling to pay for oil
ing or sprinkling carts. ought not
to discourage a city from going
ahead and having it done anyway.
You can read in your exchanges ev-
cry day of towns no larger than Mt.
Sterling in which the City Council
has ordered the streets to be oiled.
1t has long ago been proven not to
be an expense beyond the reach of
any town. The brick streets should
be gone over with q water cart
twice every morning and twice every
afternoon. The macadam streets
oiled at this time Of the year and
possibly again in August. In this
way there would be no dust to dis
figure the merchants goods, and
none to harrass the pedestrian or
of vehicles. Last, but
not least, it is strange that any
town big or little, through indiffer-
ence,l risk the disease laden dust of
the streets. We can meet the diff
Guilty just as scores of other towns
in the State have met it. Let every
citizen be given an opportunity, as
you say; to pay his mite toward oil
ing and watering not the town in
spots, but everywhere. Enough
would be raised to accomplish the
result, or if not quite enough sure
ly the Council could and would
supplement it. What has become of

Dear Mr.. Editor:

"Right you are on the question Of
oiling and watering streets. AS ]
sat in my place Of business and
read the Advocate today l also
breathed in a few bucketsfull of
dust and then looked around on the
dust covered articles about me. ]
went out and got few cupfulls of
fine dust down my collar. In the

slips and checks on the writing desk
and transacted my business. Dust
everywhere while other towns have
their streets oiled and sprinkled
Wednesdays and thursdays. Dust
ought to have been enough to con-
vert the most obstinate to oil and
sprinkling. To talk Of depending on
the flushing Of few blocks occa-
sionally by the city authorities is
childs' play.
Let property owners subscribe for
a water cart for bnck streets and
let the Council order the oiling as
they order the putting down of
pavements. That is how other
towns get it. Let's have it by May
