for Plant Juice.

When the stomach performs It's func-

forgets that he has one, good health
physical powers and buoyant spirits
prevail. The stomach In civilized peo-
pie OF today, however. is degenerate.
1t lacks tone and strength, gradually
brought about bya sedentary existence.
Too much food and too little exercise
have forced the stomach into a half
sick condition. II becomes weak and
does not protect itself, and the bars are
down for the entrance of disease in
many forms.
Plant Juice. the new herbal stomach
remedy, Is purifying and vitalking

By the Governor:
Strong APPEAL TO
OUR PATRIOTISM
Made BY the Governor in Announcing
Two Good Roads
Days.
Governor.

In keeping with his custom, Gov
ornor Hatfield has again proclaimed
Good Roads Days throughout the
State of West Virginia. He has issued
q proclamation making July Is and
IS Good Roads Days, declaring them
holidays and requesting every able
bodied citizen to turn out and help
improve the roads. This is an ap-
peal to West Virginia patriotism; it
Is an appeal to state pride; it is an
appeal to community pride; an ap-
peal to personal pride. We feel that
the governor declaring these holidays
has directed our attention to one
of the most vital questions in the
state.
1t is certainly vital in this commu-
nifty and in this section. People of
this county should lose no time in
preparing to make these days a sue
cess. Let them be picnic days of
the community. Let the good women
prepare dinners; let the men gather
their tools, lay aside their regular
work and go forth to make these days
ones of profit and pleasure, and to
lift up their communities. Our state
is judged by the condition of is
roads. We cannot expect to build a
system of hard roads throughout the
state ON these two days, but we can
improve some of the worst parts and
do temporary work that will be OF
great advantage to the people through
out the state. !.
During the Good Roads Days of the
past much good has been done. In
one section the people made prepare
tons and constructed a bridge OF
concrete that will be lasting monu.
ment to their patriotism and a great
benefit to the entire community. 9th.
er communities can do as much if
they will just lay hand to the wheel.

ROADS BOUND TO WEAR.

No matter how much care is spent
in the selection of a suit of clothes,
or a kitchen range or anything else
used daily it is bound to wear out.
But we all know that if such things
are kept in good condition they last
longer and give more satisfaction
than when no care is given to them.
Improved roads need care for just the
same reason. If the travel tears a lit
tie hole in the surface of bituminous
road, the hole will be rapidly enlarg-
cd unless it is patched.
Sometimes this patching is put off
too long, and thus everybody using
the road calls it a failure, when the
trouble was not due to the original
road but rather to the poor house
keeping" which allowed the little tears
to so unmended too long.
There are a number of ways of do.
ing this mending, but in Maryland
State Highway Engineer Shirley has
found this to be the best: First,
sweep the hole thoroughly clean, free
from all dirt and dust; paint the cav.
ity with bituminoUs material; lamp
the stone in we'll with a tamper, then
spread bituminous material over the
stone and apply stone chips from IL
inch to ga inch in size, just bringing
The surface OF the patch up to the
same elevation as the adjoining sur
face of the road.
at has been found that quite a num-
Der of patrolmen can make these
patches without great deal of trou-
BILE and get the proper amount of oil
in so that the patch will be perma-
nent and not push about but there are
many instances where they either get
too much bituminous material in and
it pushes about and makes a hump
or do not put sufficient in, and the con-
sequence is 'raveling'
ITO aid them, therefore, in getting
just the proper amount of bituminous
material in the patch, the patrolman
should be supplied with small wire
basket holding about one-fourth of
peck of stone. This basket has han
dies, and it is only necessary for him
to dip the basket with the stone in it
in the bituminous material and then
raise it and allow it to drain
by the time he has the hole thor
oughly swept out and is ready to ap-
ply the stone, the excess bituminous
material has drained off, and it is on
~ necessary to dump the stone from
cover with stone chips"

INSPIRING SITUATION.

Response Of the public in America
particularly in this section, to the
Presidents call for soldiers is an in
spring situation. Some of this readi-
ness to help may be traced to love
of adventure and novelty of exper-
fence, but only comparatively small
part of it. The desire for service is
based on individual conception Of du,
ty, which is the bulwark of American
liberties after all
All over the land, no less than in
This vicinity, term of service for
many Officers and men means a sacri
fee. 1t may not be measured since
the period of duty is not limited nor
the exact character of service defin-
ed. Even then the loss of time from
peaceful pursuits is considerable
1t is to the great credit of municipal
and other state governments that so
many of them have decided to give en-
listed employees time off with pay 1t
is even more creditable that private
employers should do likewise. By such
acts not only those who go but those
who stay are rendering service to the
nation,
The quick response throughout the
country of medical and nursing pro
fessions is alike fiattering Announce
ment of preparedness committees. not
ably the women's committees, is graf
flying to genuine patriots. The situa
ton will give the preparedness move
ment an opportunity to justify itself
Not long ago the newspapers were
full of tales of preparedness commit
tees and movements. The present DC
casion gives them a splendid open
ing.
All considered, the spirit OF the PEG
pie is admirable though not at all sur
prising to persons who really know
Americans and the American deyo
ton to America.

STATUS OF PROGRESSIVE.

while the Progressive party has not
been respited until its national com
mittee meets, June 20, there seems lit
tie doubt that on that day they will
receive the refusal of Colonel Roose-
veis to become their candidate. What
they will do in consequence. nominate
a new leader or dissolve their ranks

Should the party cease activities.
1t will be a heactthrus, flr those, hon

ha proved 1t is admitted by no less
prominent Progressive than Balm
bridge Colby. Others have been no
less frank in their assertions.
His action, however MS friends may
justify it. will not stifle the genuine
progressive spirit. T. will continue to
fiame under vital American questions
whether it bears 3 party label or not.
For the present it cannot turn toward
Republicanism which not only spurned
its creed but fioIt9d and snubbed its
leader. Its only medium in this cam.
pagni is the party which Woodrow
Wilson has led 10 sueh splendid tri-
unphs of achievement and statesman
ship,
Mr. Colby speaks accurately when
he says of the Progressives:
Among other things they desire to
do justice to President who has
been called upon to grapple with prob
lens almost beyond human faculty,
and who has endured with unfinch-
ing steadiness a volume of criticism
which has no parallel in our history
since Lincolns time.
We recall the answer of Lincoln
to the cry in 1864 that his admins
tration was merely stumbling along
1t may be true said Lincoln,
but, please Cod, / think we are Stun
bling along in the right direction.
1t is an association with the Demo-
Gratis, the Wilson Progressives. that
the Bull Moose following alone can
find the expression of their party prin-
ciples. Already there has been enact
ed at Washington virtually all the vi
tai planks in the Progressive platform
of four years ago. Progressive Demo
Gratis and the National Progressives
lock at national problems much the
same way and working together as
they many times can continue this
nation free from plutocracy, Wall
street, special privileges and the in
visible government.
A party man who is such Simply
because of the personality Of leader
ship has little of which to be proud.
1T is creed and performance that gives
life to party and it is these which the
Progressiyes will find as the back
bone of Democracy.

Mayor Letter Made Appointment at
Last Nights Executive Session

During the executive session Of the
city council last night Mayor Letter
appointed Miss Minnie Taylor police
matron. The appointment does not
carry with it any salary and means
there will be no extra cost imposed
upon taxpayers. Miss Taylor will
qualify this evening and will have an
office in police headquarters, where
she may be found in case her services
are required.
For some months Miss Taylor has
been the Social Service Union work

to that organization.

A PATRIOTIC DUTY.

The movement spontaneously
sweeping over the country to provide
full or partial wages for the enlisted
men is admirable in purpose, though
disputed in method. First and fore
most provision for the dependents Of
such soldiers must not be considered
charity Thus to Judge it is both an
error of concept and an unwarranted
reflection on the benefciaries. Such
persons will receive aid not as a, mat
ter of charity, but as due owed them
by their country.
The fact of the matter is that if
ala to dependent families is needed,
the rendering of it is a public duty,
an obligation that rests on each and
all individuals exactly as does the
maintenance Of a police force or a
state constabulary on the nation it.
self. The men who go forward, go in
the interest of those who stay at home.
The responsibility is general not spec
iiic.
How rapidly human sympathy pro
crosses may be seen in the prevalence
OF the movement to safeguard the de
pendents OF the soldiers. This is a
new note ia warfare In the old days
as recent as 1898, this practice in Its
present dimensions was unknown
Not all the countries Of the European
belngerents are doing it now and th'
hoys Of 61<65 did not reap their pen
sions until long after their arms hat

many persons suspect, how far will
subscription lists go?
Let the splendid cooperative spirit
prevail. If emergency arises, do not
