MILK-A CHEAP FOOD
Exhibition and Denomination, Old
 Tucker Store, Aug to 10

Milk is a cheap food. and in any household where there are children it is almost necessity. The proof that milk Is a cheap food is not in the price paid for the quart Even 1t i 5 or 20 cents a quart it is a chear source of certain nutritive substance. always needed by the body and partic ularly needed during the growth peri od
 People are in the habit of regard ing food as something you have to chew" and therefore milk Is looked upon only as a beverage They for get that in every quart of mill there is available one-half cup of solid food material of just the composition need ed for growth and energy
 To save money by reducing the consumption of food which has sud denly increased in price through vari- ous causes. by the purchase of anoth- CT that may be cheaper in cost but more expensive as a source of nour- ishment is an error that every house keeper ought to avoid Milk. like oth- CT foods, must be put on the witness stand to testify as to it's character as an important food.
 Let us consider it's value in regard to building bone and teeth When the milk supply is cut down in the young child's diet his normal growth will be checked The bony framework of his body needs lime to build t up, and milk is the richest of all common foods in available lime and it's reduc- tion in the diet when considered from lime content is an expensive as well as an unsafe procedure In lime val ue, one quart of milk is equal to 30 pounds of meat, 60 pounds of bacon, 100 pounds of honey Child growth depends upon bone growth. bone growth depends upon supply of lime. Milk is the cheapest source of lime.
 Lime means bone growth, and bone growth means child growth.

PUTNAM'S LAST QUOTA ASSIGN
 ED TO COMPANIES
Anxiously Awaiting Examination

A line from Private Archibald Mac donald, who acted as captain of Put nam districts quota, which left for Camp Devens last week Thursday, states that the boys arrived safely and are in excellent spirits.
 The quota has been assigned to quarters in adjoining barracks and g are in the 31st company, the rest be- ing assigned to the 82nd. They find the life strenuous one, and it keeps them on the jump from start to finish, most of them having battled in the kitchen for 12 hours at a stretch.
 The boys are anxiously waiting ex- animation and in all probability some will be rejected when called upon to meet the strict army requirements.

WANT TO KEEP WELL?

(E E. Meredith Press Bureau.)
Buy more milk and less meat and
the family will be better fed. A quart
of milk day for every child, if pos
sible, pint without fail, is the rec
ommendation of the United States
Department of Agriculture. Plenty
of milk will give the children, both
big and little, the chance for health
that they ought to have. Milk helps
the children grow. In addition to be-
ing a well-known food substitute, milk
have something special in it which
the children do not get enough Of in
other foods. Sick children are more
common in cities and countries where
milk is scarce. When milk prices go
up, the mothers begin to economic
and more children become i'll. Milk
gives the children lime and other salts
which they need. Lime is needed for
their food, their bones and teeth, for
their blood and other parts Of their
bodies. Milk is the chief food for
lime and the cheapest food for lime.

The second attempt to settle in
what is now known as West Virginia
was made by a party of Dunkards
who built cabins on Cheat river, near
Morgantown They first encamped
at the mouth of Dunkard creek,
which event gave the stream its name
later moving TO Dunkard's bottom on
Cheat. Although there were many
Indian wars from that time until 1860
the settlement remained unmolested
Dr. Thomas Eckerly, head of the
party, went to trading post on the
Shenandoah after supplies, and when
ne returned he found the settlement
in ashes and the mutilated bodies of
two of his brothers. In the mean
time, Thomas Decker and other
settlers located on the Monongahelia
at the mouth of creek which has
been given his name, but Indians
drove them out shortly after.
The Ohio Company was organized
in 1749 and it obtained a grant of 500,
900 acres of land between the Monon-
gahela and. Kanawha rivers. The
French and Indian war broke out in
1855, and this delayed the plans which
had been made to get settlers into the
region. By this time there were
little settlements all along the Poto-
mac river, in what is now Jefferson,
Berkeley, Hampshire, Hardy. Grant
and Pendleton counties, but all that
was known of the territory towards
the Ohio river had been brought back
by daring explorers who had not con-
sidered settlement at that time.
Christopher Gist, an adventurer,
made trip through the region given
the Ohio Company in the year of 1851
passing up the Kanawha and New
rivers and climbing up to Hawks
Nest, and took look at the rich
country which was to yield up its
wealth century and quarter later.

A careful inspection Of the election
returns of recent years-both primary
and general elections-will reveal the
fact that never in the history of the
Republican party of West Virginia did
a candidate for office of any nature
make the splendid showing that was
made by Davis Elkins in the primary
election of 1916, when his name was
placed on the ticket as candidate for
delegate-at-large to the National Re-
publican Convention held in Chicago.
Mr.. Elkins was one of six leading Re-
publicans of the state whose names
were placed on the ticket by a conven-
ton of Republicans, held in conjunc-
ton with a meeting of the State Re-
publican Committee in Wheeling in
April of 1916. Senator Eikins did not
ask that his name go on that ticket;
nor did he make the slightest effort
with voters in the primary election
held in June following. So far as the
records go to show, he did not, by
voice or pen or printers ink, ask sup
support The result, however, was a
little short of astonishing, for when

FACING THE FACTS

Inefect, the Government says to
you that today no mans time or
money is his own.
The submarine danger is not over.
False ideas of security have been
spread. Ships are being sunk faster
than they are being replaced.
The necessity for food administra-
ton might have arisen whether or
not we entered the war. 1t is essen
tial that our Nation should realize the
permanency of our food problem.
Peace will mean that to the de-
mands of those now our enemies.
So our diminished stores will be still
more rapidly depleted.
The worlds cry is one of utter dis
tress. Every man, woman and child
should become partner in the great
est humanitarian organization of all
time-The Red Cross.
Never before has a nation built up
organizations with such astounding
rapidity as the United States since
war was declarer.
The Army trained more than 81 900
officers in the first officers camp; has
built sixteen wonderful National
Army Cantonment and an equal
number of National Guard Camps,
/ cities of about 10000 men each.
The Navy now completely manned
is guarding our entire coast. On
April, 6, 1917, there were in the
United States Navy 64,68o enlisted
men. The Marine Corps numbers
over 30,000-more than double.
There are now LA shipyards in the
country, seventy-four of which are
virtually new. One thousand four
hundred and thirty-seven ships have
been started, with over 100000 ton
mage clapacity. Hulls are being com
pleted in sixty-four days on the
Pacific coast.
! Initiative isn't intuition or second
sight It's perpetua | trying-ever-
lasting vigilance-unceasing work.

Senator Elkins' majority over Mr..
Dawson was 1890; over Mr. Mann,
16,007; over Governor Hatfield, 1888;
over Mr.. Ogden 27,766; over Rev. Glib
bons, 27,945. Senator Elkins had a
majority in forty-eight of the fifty-five
counties Of the state, losing Logan
county to Governor Hatfield by Sc
votes, Mercer to Mr. Mann by 8S votes,
Mineral to Mr. Dawson by votes,
Mingo to Governor Hatfield by
181 votes, Putnam to Mr., Dawson by
81 votes, Raleigh to Mr.. Dawson by Ill
votes, and Wyoming to Mr.. Dawson by
&c votes. In other words, out of the
total vote cast in that election Senator
Elkins lost less than five hundred
.votes-488, to be exact-and in the
home counties Of the several candi-
dates he either won or lost by small
margins, except in Ohio county, where
he received LIPS more votes than did
Mr.. Ogden
By consulting the tabulated returns
appended it will be readily seen that
Senator Elkins' popularity is confined
to no particular section Of the state.
