Governor cornwers Proclamation.

In accordance with long established
custom. the President OF the United
States has issued his proclamation setting
apart Thursday, Novsnber 10Th. 1917,
as day OF Thanksgiving 10 Almighty God
for His many blessings TO US as nation.
In pursuance with the custom il deyolyeS
upon me TO proclaim that day as public
holiday in the Stale of West Virginia aud
to call it TO the attention Of the people.
While il is true we lind ourselves onthe
threshold OF world war. war in which
a score OF nations are involved, in which
millions OF soldiers have already gwen up
their lives, millions more have suffered
wounds and disease. and as result OF
which untold millions OF -combatants
have died or suffered privations, hard
ships and horrors unspeakable, vet the
blessings which our country and It's peo-
pie have received and enjoyed are so
manifold and our sacrifices have been so
insignificant thus far that our gratitude
should oe great indeed In this hour OF
national peril, ol individual and national
anxiety, il is extremely fitting that our
people should meet in their respective
places OF worship on that day and publicly
give thanks with humble and eonlrte
hearts for all ihq blessings that have been
vouchsaied to them throughout the years
oil our national existence. and for the
spirit oi patriotism and unity with which
the great majority of the people oi our
State have been moved. And that we
may likewise seek divine guidance in the
perilous paths We shall be compelled 10
tread in the future, as well as strength
ening OF a spirit OF service TO our country,
oar soldier defenders and our iellowmen,
whoever and wherever they may be, and
that we may be prepared 10 make any
and every sacrifice guarantee the world
against a repetition OF such horrors as II is
now Witnessing.
Wherefore, |. John J. CouweIl. Gov
enor OF the State oi West Virginia. do
designate Thursday, the 10Th day OF No
vember, 1917, as a day OF Thanksgiving
and prayer, and proclaim II public holi-
day in The State OF West Virginia.
In witness whereof have hereunio SET
my hand and caused the Great Seal otthe
State TO be affixed. Done al the capitol,
in the city OF Charleston, this The S,h Gay
OF November, in The year OF our Lord one
thousand nine hundred and seventeen,
and in the fifty. fourth year OF The State.

How To Have Good Teeth.

If parents desire their children 10 nave
sound and strong teeth, they must begin
n take precautions long before il IS time
for any teeth to appear. Babies, like the
rest OF us, can only build up their bodies
from such material as is given them. II
a baby's jood is deficient in quantity or
quality, that deficiency will cause detects
in teeth and hair ard nils, as well as
lack OF bodily yigof.
The breast-ied baby has by lar the
hest chance Of having the right sort OF

oood teeth. The disease known as
ricketts, is a form OF uialnuln,ion that in

homes. and the presence Of rickeLs some
times first maniiests itself by delay in the
sppearance Of the teeth. II, therefore, a
child that otherwise seems 10 be fairly

the usual age, he should be taken TO a
physician, for probably he IS not getting
