A BOUNDEN Duty

Parents, since the recent charges
brought against eight boys in the
town whose trial now is going on.
and the attack against the character
of the girl making the complaint,
isn't it good time now to make
survey of conditions and strengthen
any weaknesses and tighten up the
lenlencles that no more such humilia-
tons may be seen or heard of in the
town and county? Begin in the
home, and let this influence radiate.
Let good influences be STRENGTHENED
IN the schools, so that knowledge
and character building may go hand
IN hand, and that the product from
the schools will be the foundation of
better citizenship.
Officers, your task is not finished
in the home. Yours is a public duty
and it behooves each one of YOU to
see that the peace and quiet of the
communities are unmolested, even tho
some trivial law or ordinance should
be enforced to guard and. help the
young when they are out from under
the care of the parents. Neglected
home duties and neglected public
duties are the lost opportunities for a
higher civilization. Each one of us
has part in the great work of ex-
aitlng nation-our own America.
And may it not be proper at this
juneture for our officers, both state
and municipal to investigate the
rumor that certain characters are
operating between Philippi, Tygarts
Junction. Belington, Dartmoor and
other points whose enticements are
dangerous to the health and character
of the young men and boys of this
county?

A Bilious Attack

When you have bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its func-
tons. You become constipated. The
food you eat ferments in your stom-
ach instead of digesting. This in.
flames the stomach and causes nausea,
vomiting and terrible headache.
Take three of Chamberlian's Tablets.
They will tone up your liver, clean
out your stomach and you will soon
be as well as ever. They only cost
a quarter.

There is more Catarrh in this section
OF the country than all other diseases
put together, and for years it was sup
posed to be incurable. Doctors prescribed
local remedies and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Catarrh is a local disease,
greatly influenced by constitutional con-
ditions and therefore requires constitu-
tonal treatment. Halls Catarrh Medi-
cine. manufactured by F. j. Cheney &
