SIoan's Liniment Eases Pain.

SlOan's Liniment Eases Pain.
Sloan's Liniment is first
thought of mothers for bumps,
bruises and sprains that are con-
stantly happening to children.
1t quickly penetrates and soothes
without rubbing. Cleaner and
more effective than mussy plas-
tiers or ointments. For rheu-
matte aches, neuralgia pain and
that grippy soreness after
colds, Sloan's Liniment gives
prompt relief. Have a bottle
handy for bruises, strains,
sprains and all external pain.
For the thousands whose work
calls them outdoors, the pains
and aches following exposure
are relieved by Sloan's Lini-

The True Millennium.

The true millennium, when 1t comes,
will not be one great big, all embrac-
ing millennium, but a whole lot Of lit
tie millenniums. Anything else would
be Just an imitation millennium. The
eason for this is easily made clear.
A millennium, If 1t means anything
worthy Of its melllhuous name, is a
certain blissful state of affairs spread
ing over the surface of the earth where
everybody, having exactly what he
wants, is perfectly satisfied. But we
quickly discover as we so about talk
ing to the reformers and the ldeallsts
and the society leaders and the bridge
experts and the politicians that nc
two Of them want the same thing
that unless each one Of them gets just
the right kind of millennium, he will
be mad and won't play. Therefore, II
is obvious that the same millennium
even If It were a bangup good one
would not do for all of them.-Judge

FOOD PRODUCTS MAY BE
CONDUCIVE TO DISEASES
Nutrition Taken From Wheat
and Other Grains by Milling
Cooking Responsible Too.

BY DIR. M. Z. RaVenel
The appearance of such dis
eases as pellagra and beri-beri
in the United States has led to
a number of valuable studies and
discoveries in regard to the
foods we eat. There are in many
certain substances which,
although comparatively small in
quantity, are essential to our
well being, and some of these
new diseases have apparently
arisen partly on account of
changes in our practices in the
preparation of food stuffs.
The old so-called water
ground" corn and wheat gave
nutritious products which could
be used for long periods of time
without damage. The newer
processes which give the ex-
tremely white and well bolted
flours take out certain sub
stances which are essential to
nutrition. These substances in
intact grain are located in the
outer layers and probably also
in the germ.
The so-called roller process
eliminates to a great extent the
bran and germ.
It has been shown that birds
fed on an exclusive diet of these
highly milled products will die
within a month or two, whereas
they will survive in perfect
health for an indefinite time on
a diet of wheat, corn, whole
wheat flour, or the so-called
water ground corn meal. The
highly milled products produce
a disease very similar to beri.
beri. The same is true of rice.
The polishing of rice deprives il
of a very essential ingredient
. and Injuries its nutritive value.
Housewives found that these
highly milled products wher
mixed with salt and water die
not give a bread as light as tn
, old-fashioned meal. They be

SUFFRAGE WOMEN
WORKING FOR love
cunning Great State Cam
paign With More Faith
Than Funds.

The whole history Of the equal
suffrage movement is a story OF devo.
ton and Of sacrifice. From its
earliest inception those who have I'D.
Sanced the cause have spent their
time, many Of them their lives, and
AL Of them Of their slender finances.
They hase always been hampered in
dpnncas. Theirs is usually the unre.
t1unezative labor, SO that their abil.
ity$ TO finance statewide campaigns
he1 been limited.
Not the least Interesting chapter
In the history will be that devoted
10 the West Virginia campaign OF
1915. Though hampered by lack Of
Funds the state organization, with
headquarters at Morgantown, is ac-
complishing wonders. The West Wiz.
ginia Suffrage Association is compos.
ed entirely Of volunteers. The state
oficers are giving every moment OF
their waking hours to the campaign
for the pending amendment. Many Of
them are working from s o'clock In
the morning till midnight with no
thought Of compensation. Not n Of
them is receiving a penny OF salary.
Not one Of them wants a cent. Their
hearts are in the work and they will
labor thus till the Ides OF November.
But this Is q practical age. It
takes money to u campaigns, even
when the managers are volunteers.
Rent, expenses of speakers and Of
public meetings. printers bills, trans.
portation and postage expenses &C.
Scumulate with rapidly and certainty.
The associations campaign fund 10
always pitiably small. Sometimes It
approaches the vanishing point. AL.
ways it is made up of the contribu.
Nons Of the women and their friends.
The success OF the amendment de-
bends upon the work Of the next two
months.
It is time the men of West Virginia
came to the rescue.
West Virginia men who have had ex.
perience in the old parties know what
II costs to maintain an organization
IN IS counties. They know what It
3nosts to maintain headquarters and
eSspeakers' bureau. They know what
p newspaper spreading Of propaganda
costs. Whether they are for or
agatnst the amendment they know
that It is the fair thing that the WON.
Lep's side shall be heard and settled
iat the polls on the showing made by
these women. Women cannot make
their side known without adequate
funds. Tho fair.minded men OF West
Virginia. those who admire a game
hight, those with sporting blood in
their veins, must see that the treas.
lury of the state organization is not
allowed to languish.
