Harper's Ferry Tag Day.

Saturday. June 10th, has been appointed
Red Cross Tag Day for Harper'S Ferry.
Bolivar and vicinity. The proceeds from
the sale of tags will be used for the ben
eft of the Red Cross. We hope every
citizen in this locality will manifest his
interest in the widespread and humane
activities OF the Red Cross, and his per-
sonal interest in Our boys and men at the
front, by being liberal purchaser of these
tags, that as large sum as possible may
be raised for this imperative and patriotic
need.
II is also requested that every woman
who can be spared from her home and
all the school children will be present at
the High School Saturday morning, June
10th, to march in procession through our
two towns, wearing, when possible, white
with the Red Cross insignia on the arm.
AS many as have automobiles and car
riages that can be of service for this occa-
sion we hope will have them suitably
draped and decorated in red and white
and be in line with the procession.
We ask that there be profusion OF the
national colors, flags and appropriate
banners to make the procession a heart
appeal TO the patriotism OF our people.

Statements That May Be Investigated
Testimony of ShepherdstOwn
Citizens.

bors of his experience, you can rely on his

statement Of Shepherdstown resident.
No stronger proof Of merit can be had.
L. c. Little. retired merchant, German

troubled quite bit with weak and lame
back. The kidney secretions were too
frequent in passage, also. II only took
a few boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills,
which got at Hills Pharmacy. to cure
me of the attack. Since then whenever
have had a return of these symptoms
have used Doan's Kidneys Pills and have
received the same good results"

ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's
Kidney Pills-the same that Mr.. Little
had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props, Buff

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the seat Of the disease.
Catanh is a local disease, greatly in
fluenced by constitutional conditions, and
in order to cure il you must take an
internal remedy. Halls Catanh Medi-
cine is taken internally and acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn. Halls Catarrh Medicine was pre-
scribed by one of the best physicians in
this country for years. II is composed OF
some of the best tonics known, combined
with some of the best blood purifiers. The
perfect combination of the ingredients in
Halls Catarrh Medicine is what produces
such wonderful results in catarrhal con-
ditions. Send for testimonials, free.

Letter: From a Soldier Boy.

| VIM. D. Hines, formerly from Shep-
herdstown, has written us a letter from
Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana, where
he is now in training for military service,
and we believe that il will be interesting
10 our readers. II is in part as follows:
Perhaps some of your readers have
visited Fort Myer, near Washington. and
know just about how these camps are
administered. This is larger one than
that. since we have two camps consol-
idated. States represented here are In
diana, Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia.
We have between six and seven thousand
candidates for commissions and in addi-
tion about 5000 regulars. We are for
tunate in being quartered in board bar
racks, hastily put up. but nevertheless
much better than tents. Over 3,OOO car
penters have been and still are busy put
ting I'D these barracks as fast as possible.
Reports are that about IS 900 conscriptS
are TO be sent here. The barracks are
about lbs by 25, one story. and consists
of one long room, and two small ones for
officers. Each barrack is supposed to
accommodate IS men, but we are crowded
in about IS thick. Each company occu-
pies two barracks. This u. S. Military
Reservation is said 10 contain 6, 900 acres,
so although buildings are going up fast
everywhere, yet we have plenty of drill
ing space left.
| was surprised to find no one here
from Shepherdstown. What's the matter
with the boys over there? We have men
from Martinsburg, Charles Town, Har-
per's Ferry and other places. West Viz
ginia has two companies, the 7th and the
10th, both in the 9Th division. There are
also few West Virginians in the 18th
and 18th Companies and in the engineers.
My company, the 10th, numbers l6S men,
and, believe me, when you step out in
front to command you think you have
regiment.
Life here is hard, steady grind. This
is full man sized job, and no pink-tea
affair. Some few who came for fun de-
veloped chronic sickness and were soon
discharged from the service. We rise at
SIS, exercise till $50, breakfast at 6,
clean up quarters, fall in for hike at 7, hit
the road for four or five miles till about
S.15, then drill, close order, signals,
skirmish, ETC., till l1.30; dinner at II;
drill from lis till 4.45; on parade days,
parade from to 6, otherwise retreat at
30, supper at 6, lecture 7 to 7.30, study
land mean study, too from 7.3O to $50,
taps at 10. If these aren't full days |
never heard of one. We hardly have time
to win1 our watches. The slogan of the
officers seems 10 be: "Go hard and fast
and make the men dog-tired-maximum
work-minimum play" Don't mistake
that for fault fnding-you don't hear that
anywhere. The men are serious and
work hard, realizing that three months is
a very short time 10 make officers.
The West Virginia companies are doing
fine; Is per cent of them are men who
have had former military experience, and
that, OF course, helps. Furthermore, as
the poet would say, to look over our ros-
tiers is to see listed large majority "ot
the flower of the manhood OF the State"
am proud to be IN such fine bunch.

New Medicine
Coming Here.
Preparation Causing Comment IN
Larger Cities of State to De
Here.

Taulac. the new medicine causing so
much favorable comment in all sections
of the State, since its introduction IN the
larger cities, is now TO be introduced mere
through Owens & Miller, and II mighl
be said that where Tanlac enters sickness
and disease leave, and though this is not
literally true, yet the thousands OF teSti-
monials from people all over West VIZ
GINA prove the new medicine IS factor
in the gradual reduction noticeable IN the
health reports OF cities and towns where
Tanlac has already been introduced.
People who have suffered Tor years
with stomach, kidney and liver troubles
have acclaimed Tanlac great remedy.
People who really did not know what
aiIen them and suffered from indigestion,
dragging pains in the body, stomach,
side and back, catarrhal affections, loss OF
sleep and appetite, dull, throbblng head
aches and the kindred ills that go along
with such troubles have taken bottle or
more of Tanlac and then gladly and CRATE
fully Joined the thousands who came De-
fore them and also praise 1t.
Tanlac will be introducedin Shepherds
town exclusively through Owens q NIL
Ter, the well-knowu druggists in the Reg-
lister building.

Siaunton hotel, had the booze in charge
and both were arrested.
John Hayes, a Western Maryland fire
man, OF Iiagerstown, was found dead in
the pit Sunday at the round house IN
that city. The pit has about ten feet OF
water in it, and il is supposed that Hayes
fell in and was drowned while on his

time when rescued.
John ]. Darg, special agent for the
Bureau OF Statistics. United States De-
partment of Agriculture, was in Washing
ton county the first of the week inves-
tigating the damage done by the big hail
storm last Wednesday. He found that
the path of the storm was irregular, and
that 800 acres of wheat alone were
ruined. Many farmers will pillow up their
devastated wheat fields and plant sweet
corn, for which canneries will pay SIS a
ton.
The Adamantine Clay Products Com
pany's property, located at North Noun
tain, Berkeley county, was sold at public
auction in Martinsburg to Thomas Nc
Kown, subject to the approval OF Referee
in Bankruptcy w. H. Thomas. While
there is no definite knowledge. it is under
stood that the company will be re-estab-
lished. tits reported that the reorganiza-
ton committee is composed Of stock
holders of the company. The price paid
was $4,000.
AT Gettysburg last Friday a heroic
statue of General Robert E. Lee was un-
yelled in the presence OF thousand Viz
ginians and many other visitors. The
memorial, which was erected at cost
OF $4,000, stands on Seminary Ridge,
and represents General Lee on his famous
horse, "Traveler"-a splendid bronze
monument on a pedestal OF granite. A
granddaughter OF General Lee pulled the
cords which unveiled the memorial.
Governor Stuart, of Virginia, and Gov
ernor Brumbaugh, OF Pennsylvania, took
part in the ceremonies.
Two women who belonged to camp
OF Gypsies were arrested in Hagerstown
a few days ago and taken before Justice
Bitner on the charge offraud. The women
had been selling lace from house to house,
representing it as real Irish lace and
worth great deal more than they asked
for il. The stuff was common, ordinary
lace, worth about one-fourth the price
they asked for it.Up)1 returning to
their victims the money out OF which they
had cheated them, the women were re-
leased. And so they will 90 TO some
other community and swindle the gullible
ones

Registration Notice.

June s, 1917.
To Sheriffs and Mayors:
The Summarization reports which have
been received at this office would indi-
cate that in many counties considerable
discrepancy exists between the number
OF men who registered on the 9th OF June
and the number which the population Of
the county would show actually eligible
for registration.
In order 10 insure complete registra-
ton as rapidly as possible, the govern
ment is disposed to show the utmost
leniency to all men who have not regis
tered, through ignorance or for any other
valid reason, and such men who present
themselves before your board at once for
registration will not be prosecuted.
Those men who attempt 10 evade the
law or absolutely refuse to register should
be registered by you and then arrested.
You are directed to employ every pos
sible means to insure 100 per cent reg
istration in the area under your jurisdic-
ton. A great deal can be accomplished
by giving this ruling wide publicity. and
a comparison OF your registration cards
with the registration books OF the last
general election will prove OF material as
siStance in this connection.
Very respectfully,
GEORGE S. WALLACE,
Major Judge Advocate General o. K. c.
U. S. Army, Chief of Department.
The Jefferson County Board of Con-
scription will sit at the Court House at
Charles Town, w. Va, on Friday, June
IS, 1917, from 10 a. m, to p. m. to give
an opportunity tor those to register on
June 5, 1917.

Sheriff OF Jefferson County.

THE fortunes OF war seem to be going
against Germany slowly but steadily, and
though the changes in the battle line are
Slight, considering the enormous energy
expended and the cost in flesh and blood,
they are almost without exception in favor
OF the Allies. The British and French
forces are continually striking at the Ger
mans and pressure against the enemy is
never relaxed, with the result that the
Teutonic forces have no rest, day or
night, and doubt and Encouragement are
becoming important factors in the war.
Still, it's long way to Berlin.

Notes of the Churches.

Charles Town was selected as the place
for holding the next annual meeting OF
the Episcopal Church Council OF the Di-
Geese OF West Virginia at the sessions OF
the Council in Clarksburg recently. A
special meeting OF the Council will be
called by Bishop Gravatt for the purpose
OF electlng Bishop coadiutor. Exam
ination OF the church finances showed
that such step was possible with GER
tain provisions. The salary OF the Bishop
was fixed at 81 900 annually, with resi-
dence furnished in addition, and the salary
OF the coadiutor was set at S., 900 annual
ly, with residence furnished in addition /;
and the committee on finance was re-
queSted to incorporate in its report pro-
vision for the payment of such salaries.
The standing committee OF council was
appointed as follows: Rev. ]. S. Alfriend,
Charles Town; Rev. ]. w. Ware. Shep-
herdstown Rev. w. H. Myers, Keyser;
c. A. Miller, Martinsburg, and James
Grantham, Keaneysville Rev. DR.. r. D..
Roller, OF Charleston. who had been sec
rotary OF the Council for thirty years, re-
signed his office stating that his health
was such that he could no longer perform
the duties satisfactorily.
The open air services, which have here
tofore proved so popular in Shepherds
town, are to be resumed, the first one
being held Sunday evening, July LIST. The
services will be held on the college campus
in front OF the old college building, as
usual. The first service will be of pa
triotic character, and short patriotic ad-
dresses not to exceed five minutes will be
made by the local ministers. II is TO be
hoped that these services will prove as
popular as in former years, and every
one is urged to cooperate and 10 help
make them success.
Rev. Landon X. Mason has resigned as
rector OF Grace Episcopal Church in
Richmond, Va, after service OF about
thirty years. He gives as his reason his
advancing years and his belief that a
younger man should take up the work.
He will probably be made rector emeri-
tuS OF the church. Mr.. Mason was FORM
erly the beloved pastor of Trinity Church,

THERE'S an element in Congress that
seems TO have it in for the newspapers
as indicated by the propositions TO in
crease the postage on these periodicals
and place a tax on their receipts from
advertising We know this: The country
newspapers are carrying right now as
heavy burden as they can bear, and il
il is increased many one will have TO
give up the struggle.
The newspapers are doing a great
service for tie government and for the
many worthy enterprises that need and
are getting full publicity, ard they should
receive recognition and commentator
instead of being handicapped with unfair
and inequitable burdens.

The registration of men for army ser
vice throughout the United States last
week resulted in the listing OF slightly
fewer men than had been anticipated. but
nearly l0,0OO,0 900 were enrolled. From
this vast number may be selected an army
as large as our government requires, and
still there will be many left over for
second army il il shall be required. The
enrolment of these men brings the fact
that we are really at war one step nearer
10 personal realization Of the sefiSu;ness
OF the situation.

EVERY bushel OF grain rotted into al
coholc liquors in these days OF stress and
distress is reproach to our government.
Why not be brave enough 10 stop this
particular crime?
Shepherdstown register. [volume] (Shepherdstown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1849-1955, 1917-06-14

The proposition OF the Senate finance
committee to put an almost prohibitive
tax on grain used in the manufacture OF
alcoholic liquors is good thing But il
is by no means the best that could be
done. The one sensible and effective
method OF preventing this criminal waste
OF food is to absolutely prohibit the use
OF grain in the manufacture OF whiskey.
The government expresses its intention
OF using every resource and every ounce
oil efficiency in the war against Germany.
We would have more faith in this declara-
lion if Congress would by statute curtail
the activities OF the manufacturers and
dispensers OF liquors. We regard the
saloon-keepers and distllers and brew
ers as worse enemies TO our people and
TO our soldiers than any military or moral
forces that Germany can possibly bring
against US.

The new schedule OF the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad cuts out the stops at Shen-
andoah Junction OF trains No. and No.
Z, which afforded the best facilities for
travel for the people Of Jefferson county
and for the numerous passengers making
connections 10 or from points on the Nor
folk & Western Railway. There is a
good deal OF indignation that the COM
pany should deprive the people of these
privileges, but whether or not the pro-
tests will amount TO anything is problem
atical. The stupidity OF officials who
order such changes is so great that it is
cot likely they will pay much attention
TO protests-unless there be some higher
authority that can be induced to see the
light.
Where could be found any sane man in
a calling other than the railroad traffic
who would deliberately afiront his patrons
by taking from them the opp ortunity to
90 business with him ?
