1T certainly seems as if the people Of
Washington county should have enough
OF the liquor business by this time.
Tragedy after tragedy in that county the
past year or two have caused death and
disaster, and the unchecked evils OF the
saloons are responsible for untold
wretchedness and trouble. Last Sunday
man was arrested in Hagerstown for
mistreating his family, and at the trial on
Monday his distracted wife testified that
although he earned three dollars a day,
he only gave her seven dollars a week
with which to maintain the family
mother and seven children. The bal
ance OF the money went TO the liquor
saloons.
Why will respectable men vote to sup
port an institution so evil and business
so dirty?

1.-THE Ohio Farmer" very influential
agricultural journal published in Ohio, and
having a wide circulation among the
farmers in West Virginia, recently advised
il readers in this State to support John
B. Finley, of Wood county, for the i'm
portant office OF Commissioner OF Agri-
culture, saying that in the real interest of
agriculture in this State he ought to be
supported regardless OF party. Coming
from the independent source it does, it
is high compliment 10 the Democratic
nominee.
We especially endorse Mr.. Finley for
the office TO which he aspires. He is a
wise and able man, of much public ex-
perience, and we believe that he would
make this department of our State gov
eminent one OF the very best in this
country.

BOILED down and condensed, about
tie only issue that can be honestly raised
by Mr.. Hughes and his partisans is that
they want The offices-that they are on
the outside and they want to get inside.
If there were any weakness or crooked
ness in the present administration this
might be laudable endeavor, but there
is none. Dignity and ability and freedom
from scandal or corruption or question
able practices has distinguished President
Wilson's administration from the very
beginning, and it is just as clean and
worthy now as any government can be.
How unwise and dangerous it would be
10 change the present tried and success
ful leadership for an experimentation
foolish to change the, administration
simply because the reactionaries and
standpatters OF the Republican party
want the offices and control OF the gov
eminent for their own personal adj
vantage.
Let well enough alone.

Is It Your Kidneys?
Don't Mistake the Cause OF Your
Troubles. A Shepherdstown Citi-
zen Gives Valuable Hint.

Many people never suspect their kid

aching back they think that it is only a
muscular weakness; when urinary trouble
sets in they think it will soon correct it.
self. And so it is with all the other
symptoms of kidney disorders. That IS
where danger often lies. You should
realize that these troubles often lead to
dropsy or Brights disease. An effective
remedy for weak or diseased kidneys is
Doan's Kidney Pills. Read the expert
ence OF a resident OF ShepherdStown who
has tested Doan's.
M. L. Hickey, Princess ST., Shepherds
town, says: "My kidneys and bladder
caused me great deal Of trouble. The
kidney secretions contained sediment and
were irregular in passage. also had
severe pains across my back and when

Kidney Pills were highly recommended
TO me. used them and they gave me
relief. Since came here ! have taken
Doan's Kidney Pills several times and the
results have been satisfactory"

ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's
Pills-the same that Mr.. Hickey had.

Rheumatism After
His Days Outing
Hunting Trip On a Wet Day
Brings Painful Results.

Once upon a time Charles Mullen
of Philadelphia, went cunning. 1t
was a dismal rainy day, and long
exposure to cold and wet brought on
severe attack of rheumatism. He
was confined to his home.
A friend recommended Sloan's
Liniment. citing his own case as
evidence of its effectiveness. Mul-
len bought a bottle and applied it to
his aching limbs. Soon Improvement
was noticed and he was able to re-
turn to business.
Mr.. Mullen writes: "Since that ex-
perience | have never been without
Sloan's Liniment in the medicine
chest" You will find it soothes
bruises, sprains, toothache and re-
lieves lame back, neuralgia, in fact
all external pains. At all druggists,

SAGE TEA DANDY
To DARKEN HAIR
It's Grandmother's Recipe to Bring
Color and Lustre
to Hair.

You can turn gray, faded hair
beautifully dark and lustrous almost
over night of you'll get a 5O-cent
bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" at any drug store. Mil
lions of bottles of this old, famous
Sage Tea Recipe are sold annually,
says a well-known druggist here, be-
cause it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that no one can tell it
has been applied.
Those whose hair is turning gray,
becoming faded, dry. scraggly and
thin have a surprise awaiting them,
because after one or two applications
the gray hair vanishes and your locks
become luxuriantly dark and beauti-
ful-all dandruff goes, scalp itching
and falling hair stops
This is the age of youth. Gray
haired, unattractive folks aren't want
ed around, so get busy with Wyeth's
Sage and sulphur tonight and you'll
be delighted with your dark, hand
some hair and your youthful appear
ance within few days.

Parents Largely to Blame.

A normal child provides his own
amusements unless he is spoiled by In.
dulgence. Many are the complaints
that children-modern children-are
hard to please, that more and more
are they coming to depend upon an
expenditure OF money. When children
repudiate the fascinating paper dolls
provided by the newspapers, dolls and
wardrobes that were not known in our
days, something is wrong with them.
When they want no gifts but wrist
watches and toys run by electricity
they are to be pitied for they have
reached the verge Of boredom. Where
does the blame lie?

In many counties general or spec

whereby the studen's may pursue
their studies at home. They VIII be
able to obtain the course Of instruc-
tion from the school teachers Of their
respective districts, reporting by ap-
pointment as often as necessary for
such further help As may be needed.
Where no funds are available, it
is suggested that ;he work he taken
up by volunteer teachers and con-
tinued until such time as dpn"orria-
tions may be made for the mainten-
ance of the rural night schools. 1t
is reasonable to assume that a prac-
tical demonstration of the advantages
of instruction for the foreign-born in
the more sparsely .settled country
districts will cause the state and
local authorities to provide funds for
their future operation.
Citizenship classes maintained for
adult foreigners in the public night
schools are of vital importance To-
cally and nationally. Patriotic con
sderaton demand that men and wom-
EN- of foreign birth, who have de-
cided to make this country their
country, should be helped, through
education, to understand the princi-
pies of American Government and
encouraged to install American Gus
toms and ideals in their home life.

PUBLIC NIGHT
SCHO0LSFOR
NEW CITIZENS
A GREAT EDUCATIONAL CAM
PAIGN is TO BE EXTENDED
TO ALL OF THE RURAL CON-
MUNITlES.

Washington, Nov. -1.-lt is the
purpose of the Bureau of Naturaliza-
tion of the U. S. Department of La
Dor to extend the privilege of attend
ance upon the public night schools
of the country to every candidate for
citizenship wherever ne may make
his home. Heretofore, this work,
nationwide and important as it is,
has been restricted to urban centers.
II is now proposed, in cooperation
with the public school authorities, to
carry this great educational cam
paign into the rural communities.
With this end in view, the Bureau
of Naturalization is suggesting to
every county superintendent OF
schools throughout the United States
the advisability of opening the doors
of the country school houses at night
for alien instruction and stands
ready to support the movement in
every way possible in its application

HIS LAST CASE

A lawyer who for many years had
shocked a large number of his
friends by his rather liberal views
on religion recently died.
A friend of the deceased, who cut
short trip to hurry back to town
for the purpose of attending the last
rites of his colleague, entered the
late lawyers home some minutes
after the beginning of the service.
What part of the service is this?''
he inquired in whisper of another
legal friend standing in the crowded
hallway.
"i'ye just come myself" said the
other, but believe they have open
ed for the defense. "-Everybod s
