ALTHOUGH the leaders OF the military
party in Germany have by deception and
the exercise OF the iron hand kept the
people OF that unhappy country in almost
complete subsection, so that few have
dared to express an independent thought
or an objection 10 any action OF the ruling
power, there is evidence that this con-
dition is changing. There is mighty
unrest in Germany. The armies OF the
Kaiser are gaining no victories in any
part Of the battlefields. and the pinch OF
hunger and general deprivation is press
ing more and more severely upon the
people. The efforts TO make a separate
peace with Russia has utterly failed, and
the vast armies OF that country are once
more battling against the Germans in the
East. The United States will from now
on exert pressure in many diTections-by
sending troops TO the battle line, by with
holding supplies that have found their
way 10 Germany in great quantities, by
fighting effectively againstt the submarines
on which Germany depends so much.
and by cooperating with the Allies in
maay effective ways. All these things
are having their effect, for the depressing
influences cannot be kept from the Ger
man people.
1t IS impossible for G.rmlny to win,
NJ matter how long she may be able to
defer defeat, and her people are undoubt-
edly beginning 10 realize this truth.

Due to Nervousness, Mrs. King Had
Almost Lost Her Eyesight.

People who are nervous, run down
and suffering from the various troubles
arising from conditions OF the system

1906 Fourth Avenue. Huntington, W. Va,
saws 2bout her condition and subsequent
recovery.

| could not rest at night, the slightest
noise driving me almost frantic, and | was
about to lose my eyesight. ! went TO
well-kuown eye specialist and he inform
ed me that the condition OF my eyes was
due TO intense nervousness. After having
read many statements OF others here being
benefited by the new medicine, lanlac,
and at last become convinced It was
worthy trial, and now really feel that
there is hardly enough ! can say in praise
OF this new medicine. Since taking Ian

fine and have an excellent appetite, and,
what is more important. can see great
deal better than before. For all OF this
am more than thankful and can say that
il is wonderful medicine" Signed:

ITEMS OF INTEREST.

The county court OF Berkeley county
has about decided to build bridge across
the Opeouon creek at Lights ford, four
miles from the mouth OF the creek.
Governor Cornwell has appointed DIR.
E. B. Stephenson, of Kanawha county,
TO be member OF the Board of Control,
10 succeed Arlington Bliss McCrum, OF
Kinewood. The board is now composed
of two Democrats and one Republican.
The Democrats are DR.. M. Williamson
and DIR. Stephenson. and the Republican
member is Hon. James S. Lakiu, OF Terra
Alta. Preston county.
Nine boys, ranging from II TO IA years
of age, are now being employed on the
Charles Town section OF the b. q y.
Railroad. Section Foreman Williams had
instructions from the company several
DAYS ago 10 employ them. The boys are
pulling weeds and opening drains along
The track, using light pick and shovel
for the latter work. Henry Smallwood IS
the officer in command OF the squad
Advocate.
There are still too many schools IN
West Virginia, according to L. J. liant
fan. supervisor of rural schools. Inc
State is getting good roads now IN many
counties, he declared, and these should
be accompanied by consultations with
transportation OF pupils wherever other
conditions make it possible. There are
a great many places" Mr.. Hanifan said,
"where two or more schools may De
combined into a graded school or from
two TO four rooms within walking dis
lance OF all the homes. In other places
school may be closed, the children going
10 nearby schools, making IT unnecessary
TO build a new school-house.
Announcement was made in Charleston
OF the personnel of the federal boards OF
appeal in the two federal districts OF West
Virginia. The boards will hear all ap-
peaIs from local CONSUMPTION boards-if
a man is drafted and is not satisfied, he
will have the right 10 appeal to this board
for exemption. The boards follow :

Justices OF the peace do not have The
right to suspend the execution OF judg-
ment in criminal case and have been so
advised by Tax Commissioner Walter S.
Hallanan, who issued general letter to
Justice in Cabell county. A number OF
the justices have been suspending SEN
fences in cases where violations OF the
prohibition law were concerned. A re-
cent case called to the attention OF Com
missioner Hallanan occurred in Cabell
county, where the defendant was con-
victed OF violating section 81 OF the pro-
hibition law, limiting the quantity OF IL
quor carried into the State by one person
TO one quart month. The justice i'm
posed fine of 500 and sentenced the
offender 10 60 days in Jail, but suspended
the execution of the judgment during the
good behavior OF the defendant

Endorsed At Home.
Such Proof As This Should Convince
Any Shepherdstown Citizen.

The public endorsement oil local Gill;
zen is the best proof that can be pro-
duced. None better, none stronger can
be had. When a man comes forward
and testifies TO his fellow citizen, ad-
dresses his friends and neighbors, you
NAV be sure he is thoroughly convipced
or he would not do so. Telling ones ex.
perience when it is for the public good
IS an act of kindness that should be dp-
preciated. The following statement gwen
by resident OF Shepherdstown adds one
more TO the many cases Of Home In,
dorsement which are being published
about Doan's Kidney Pills. Read It:
Fonrose Shipley, PROP, Rumsey Hotel,
Shepherdstown, says: "On different oc-
casions have found If necessary 10 use
Doan's Kidney Pills. My kidneys have
become weak and the kidney secretions
have passed too freely. My back has
ached also. A box or so OF Dosn's Kid
ney Pills, which have bought at Hllls
Pharmacy has always proven SUFFICIENT
to cure the attack, at these times"
Price SOC, at all dealers. Don't simply
ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's Kid
ney Pills-the same that Mr.. Shipley had.

THE realization that our country is at
war has been brought stiller closer by the
RESIDENTS proclamation, issued on Mon
day, drafting the National Guards OF the
various States into the federal service.
The date named for changing these men
from the status OF national giardsmen to
soldiers of the regular army is August
9th, and the sixteen tactical divisions into
which the forces will be organized for
war purposes will be mobilized,at once,
preparatory 10 sending them TO France.
The men who will be drafted under the
selective draft law will take the places OF
the national guardmen sent abroad, and
as soon as possible will be assembled in
the various camps.

The music OF the celebration was beau
tifu and effective. II was under the d.
rection OF Prof. w. R. Schmidt, Of
Staunton, Va, who trained the choir OF
about hundred voices and directed the
choruses and other musical selections.
This choir was most excellent and sang
the anthems and led the chorus singing
with fine spirit. Among the soloists were
two talented young ladies', sisters, from
Gormania, w. Va, Miss Bertha Dillgard,
contralto, and Miss Dorothy Dillgard,
soprano, who charmed the audience
whenever they sang. Their solos were
delightful and the duets they rendered
were sweet and effective. Other soloists
were Mr.. S. B. LapsleY, OF Staunton, MI.
Fred d. Smith, of Strasburg, and Miss
Katie Leftwich. There were several violin
solos and an orchestra assisted in the
choruses. An impressive part OF the SER
vices was the rendering by the choir and
the great congregations of the grand old
hymns, "a Mighty Fortress is Our God"
"Now Thank We All Our God" and
other great songs OF the Church. The
music was really fine, and Rev. A. ID.
r. Hancher, OF Staunton, chairman OF the
music committee, must be congratulated
on the success OF his work.

a meeting in New York last week be-

DURING the past week the government
seems to have come to a realization of
The fact that German spies and informers
have been working boldly and effectively
right In Washington as well as through
out the country generally, and number
of important arrests have been made.
The secret service has had the cart before
the horse for long time, and these ar
rests have been made only after long and
exhaustive investigations. What should
have been done was to anestthe suspects
irst and then investigate. This would
have saved deal OF trouble.

The State School Board Commission is
in session in Charleston this week, hav-
ing been called upon by the Board OF
Public Works 10 reconsider its action OF
few weeks ago, when il decided to
change about so per cent OF the books now
in use. Whether the commission was
justified in making the change or not,
it ought now reconsider its action for the
very good reason that the people are Bit
terly opposed TO any such burden as the
proposed changes would so unnecessarily
impose upon them.

The July crop report of the government
is tremendously encouraging, in that it
forecasts billion bushels increase of food
crops in the United States over last years
production. Wheat. corn, oats, barley,
rye, potatoes and rice loot up total OF
6,093, 0O0, 900 bushels-enough TO feed us
all at home and provide great additional
supply for our friends abroad.

CERTAIN coal operators and coal cor

The vicious liquor interests are still
obStructing the passage of the food bill in
Congress. though the Senate has decided
10 begin voting on the measure on July
Dist. The people OF this country want
the rotting OF all food stuffs into alcohol
stopped, but the whiskey and beer manu-
facturers prefer drunkenness to bread.
This is the golden opportunity 10 make
this country dry, as it should be. The
political party that sunenders TO the
booze influences will be beaten at the
next election, sure as fate.

WATCH your step when you undertake
TO carry liquor into this State, for it is
now an offense against the federal law as
we'll as violation OF West Virginia

a drop is now permitted by Uncle Sam
10 be shipped or carried into dry State.

The celebration was in every reSpecta
splendid success, and the great Lutheran
Church was honored by it. We have
never known any religious festival in this
part of the country that approached il in
interest and importance and in harmonious
spirit and good results. II drew Luth-
Grams from the whole length and breadth
OF the great Valley of Virginia-from the
Potomac TO the James-and there was a
unity and spirit of good fellowship that
was pleasant individually and socially.
Above all, however, this splendid cele-
bration could not but bring TO the people
fuller realization and greater appreciation
OF the religious, civil and personal bless
ings and benefits from the Reformation.
And the spirit OF the whole affair was not
only an incentive TO better living and an
inspiration to higher ideals-it could not
but be source of pride to the great body
OF Lutherans TO whose attention was
brought so forcefully and eloquently the
noble history OF their church and its
founder.

For long, long time the writer has
looked forward TO drive through the
length OF the Shenandoah Valley. Before
the automobile was thought OF we had
planned the trip by carriage, though it
was never carried into effect. When the
automobile came, the determination grew,
until finally the long hoped for dream be-
came reality. With Jack at the wheel
OF the trusty Oldsmobile we started early
Tuesday morning, and after ten miles OF
familiar road between Shepherdstown and
Martinsburg, we began the second lap
the p miles OF excellent, level macadam-
lied road stretching from Martinsburg TO
Winchester. Though the road is good,
it must be admitted that the toll is excess
sive-there are three toll-gates in the p
miles and one OF them charges Is cents
This casts gloom over the landscape.
We would that we might lnger in de-
lightful, historic old Winchester, but the
famous Valley turnpike stretches out 6S
miles ahead OF us TO our stopping place,
and so We pass on. This turnpike is a
splendid boulevard, smooth and dustess,
with safeguards at dangerous places and
permanent concrete or iron bridges
There are toll-gates every five miles, at
fifteen cents each, but no one should be-
grudge the money paid for toll, for the
perfect roads are worth it--and there's no
charge at all for the lovely landscape.
How beautiful the Valley is Some OF
the luscious wheat fields were waving in
the summer breeze, while others were
standing in stately shocks where the
reapers had finished with the harvest.
Young forests of growing corn sprang
from the fertile fields, alternating with
carpets of living green woven in grass
and alfalfa and crimson rugs OF clover,
while prosperous orchards stretched over
the hills in fruitful promise. How fair
and fertile this great Valley is-what
God-favored garden spot, sheltered be-
tween the mountains on the east and
west, where every prospect pleases and
where there is every elementfor the hap
piness and prosperity and proper living
of mankind
Although there are still scars from the
fierce fighting OF the Civil War OF more
than half century ago, when for four
years contending armies marched and
countermarched and lett destruction in
their wake from one end of the Valley TO
the other, most of the wounds have been
healed, and nature and man have united
in obliterating all traces OF the conflict
and have brought beauty and peace and
all good things from the evil OF those
bitter days. AS we passed through
Kernstown we thought of the peppery
fight there in 1862, when Jackson attacked
Shields, and when the Shepherdstown
Company B. of the Second Virginia Regi-
ment, had one OF the very hottest days in
all its lively experiences. II was at
Kernstown that Harris Towner was NOR
tally wounded and where John Fayman
was killed as he and several others were

The committee which so successfully
managed this splendid affair had for its
chairman Rev. ]. A. Huffard, OF Luray /;
Rev. John w. Link, Of Strasourg, was its
interchangeable secretary and among its

teous to the visitors and considerate OF
