Judging from the peculiar sud-
denness with which the Exponent
has started a movement to improve
the outlying suburbs to the detri-
ment of Clarksburg. the suspicion
arises that some members OF the
Democratic gung have purchased va
cant lots in those suburbs.

Political Gossip from Washfneto

AuALbC4A uuasAR AIuHl washing tuns
Congressman Albert Johnson, of the
Third Washington district, has issued
statementlto the voters of his dis
trtct, which rings with patriotism. He
says: "The United States needs now
and will continue to need a tariff wall.
an immigration wall. and a defense
wall. We want neither a commercial
Invasion, an immigrant invasion, nor
territorial invasion. With prompt
action now, we need never have any
one of these. In my opinion, the Re-
publican party is more likely to fur
nish all three of these necessary pro-
tections, than is any other party. With
the enactment and continuance Of laws
against these three dangers, we may
feel that the United States will be as
secure fifty or one hundred years from
now, as on the fourth day OF March
next, when we shall have lnaugurated
Republican president"

HEALTH HINTS
HOOD AND NUTRITION.

The sedentary worker does not need
as much food as the hard working la
borer.
But in addition to the quantity Of his
food the sedentary worker should also
give attention to the eating Of foods
that will not choke and clog the organs
which help to eliminate waste mater,
ial and poisons. Owing to the little
exercise which the abdominal muscles
of the average office man get he is
particularly liable to break down In
health because OF improper elimina,
ton OF waste food products.
Meat once day is sufficient. The
midday meal should be light but whole
some. Fruit. vegetables, salads, whole
wheat, graham or bran bread SHOULD
constitute an important part OF the
diet.
Two habits should be formed: First,
the habit OF drinking plenty Of water
between meals. Second: The habit
of eating regular amount at regular
times.
The midday rest and lunch period
OF the sedentary worker should also
include sound form OF exercise in the
open. This does not mean gymnastics
or other form OF strenuous physical
exertion, but sufficient bodily move.
ment TO improve the circulation. cause
deeper breathing, and assist oxidation
generally.
"Bracers" are harmful. This ap.
plies 70 the excessive use OF tea and
coffee as well as alcoholic beverages.
While for short time any one OF
these helps to overcome the feeling OF
fatigue experience has shown that the
frequent use of stimulants of any kind
to overcome fatigue very quickly
works serious injury to the body.

SNOWPLOWS READY
Everything Being Prepared for VIM

Snowplows are being overhauled
and prepared for active service, in
the shops of the Santa Fe, at Topeka.
Several are being repaired in the water
service department.
One new and unique model that has
been stored here during the summer,
has been hauled out ready for service.
It is built by a Chicago company and
was purchased last year by the Santa
Fe. 1t has attracted much attention
from the shopmen.
The plow looks like a box car with
front porch set at a rakish angle.
Much of the construction is woodwork,
and there are two small cabins from
which the crew may oversee the work
of the machine. Running along the
side of the car there are metal wings
which throw the snow clear of the
track The plow itself, and the entire
front of the car on which it is
mounted, is made of steel.
Other smaller models may be
mounted on flat cars. Several of these
are in the shops ready for winter
