Good For Shepherd CoIIegeI

There was an exciting session at Shep-
herd College yesterday morning, the
splendid result OF which was the raising
OF $3.50 by faculty and students for the
Y. M. c. A. war work. Last week Prin-
cipal Thos. c. Miller, Mr.. Reed Butts, OF
the Y. M. c. A., and Miss Bessie John
son, of the Y. w. c. A., attended con-
ference in Charleston, where representa-
tlves OF various State institutions and or
CARNATIONS discussed the matter OF rails
ing our share OF the $35, OOO, 900 Y. M. {.
A. fund for the soldiers IN camp and on
the field OF battle. They came back filled
with enthusiasm, and Yesterday the whole
school caught the spirit and made good
the pledges of their representatives.
Prot. Miller asked that $500 be raised and
led off with subscription OF 500. 9th
er members of the faculty gave SIS sub
scriptions, the several classes and school
organizations contributed literally. and
the students individually made real Sacrl-
fees for the worthy cause. The Senior
Class declared that il would not buy class
rings as usual, but would give the money
TO the fund and boys and girls responded
nobly to an appeal for noble object un-
i'll the whole amount was subscribed. AS
the enthusiasm and excitement grew the
whole school was thrilled-Some Of those
most deeply interested wept and some
laughed for very ioy-and everybody was
genuinely happy over the splendid result.
We should all be exceedingly proud OF
the unSeliish spirit and sacrifice and lib
eraity exhibited in Shepherd College
yesterday.
The enthusiasm, we learn, is still
maintained and this morning the $3.50
mark has almost been reached.

Helping Mr.. Hoover.

Our community appears to look for
ward to the Food Conservation week,
which begins on October 2Sth,. with
mingled feelings. There are many shades
OF opinion about it. AT one extreme IS
the earnest lady who is so CONSCIENTIOUS
and so anxious to do her bit that her
family begin to wish that they were
Belgians. AT the other is the person
who is stoutly opposed to putting him
self out at all, or giving up so much as a
single biscuit who growls that iii the
government doesn't call halt on all
these troublesome "Weeks" OF different
kinds-Red Cross Week, Liberty Loan
Week, Food Week, and so ONT Will
either have 10 insert into the calendar a
few extra weeks in which peaceable
citizen can 90 down the street for his
mail without being stopped ON every
street corner TO sign subscription isl
or pledge card, or else it will have 10
consent to his speedy naturalization as
citizen OF the Fiji Islands. But between
these two extremes we haVe-fortunatelY
-the great mass OF our public-Sprlted
citizens, who realize that we don't help
Uncle Sam or ANYBODY else by starving
our own households, but who also
realize that il the coming year, instead
OF iiity-two weeks. had one hundred and
fifty-two, we should still not have enough
time to get the whole nation organized 10
that state OF all-round efficiency which
will carry us gloriously through the ire
mendous days before us. We must buy
a Liberty bond, and make our money
efficient; we must support the Red Cross,
and make its forces OF mercy efficient; we
must help Mr.. Hoover. and make our food
supply efficient.
The men OF Shepherdstown have shown
us that we have not many dodgers"
among us. They have not lodged the
draft, or the loan subscriptions, or the
many other calls that have stopped them
on the street corners. And if the collect
or for the Red Cross or the county can
ming work didn't find them quickly
enough, they have set out 10 find the COL
lector, TO ask reproachfully, "Did you for
get about me? What's the matter with my
money?" The men OF ShepherdStoWn
are standing behind Uncle Sam. The
coming week is the opportunity OF the
women TO 60 on record; 10 pledge them
selves-not TO starve their families, moi 10
hoard their supplies-but ITO eat plenty,
wisely, without waste" these are the
words OF the Food Administration, TO
feed their families well, and to use as
largely as possible those ioodStuffS that
do not 60 abroad. Every time we bake
dodgers instead OF biscuits we score
one for our boys over the seas, for Starv-
ing Belgium and our heroic ally, France;
every time we eat maple syrup or honey
or molasses or our own good jam instead
OF making a dessert with sugar, we
slacken the demand for sugar at home,
and set free little bit TO 90 10 the front,
The women can't help in the trenches
themselves, but If they send the flour and
the sugar there, Our overseas army Will
feel that the women of America are
certainly represented

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured


by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way TO cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by a constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition Of the mucous
lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumhling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it
is entirely closed Deafness is the result.
Unless the Inflammation can be reduced
and this tube restored 10 It's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever.
Many cases OF deafness are caused by
ca,drh, which is an infIamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh
Medicine acts thru the blood on the mu-
cous surfaces of The system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case OF Catarrhal Deafness that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine.
