Saved Daughters Life
Cured Husbands Cough
Roney Point Lady Says Hypo-Cod l.
Wonderful. Husband had Cough
81 Years.
DAUGHTER so WEAK AND DELI
CATE, NEAR DEATHS DOOR.

"Hypo-Cod practically saved my
daughter-in-law's life, and cured my
husband of a chronic cough he had for
81 years, and why shouldn't | endorse
it ?" enthusiastically exclaimed Mrs. H.
Bankerd, Roney's Point, w. Va.
"My daughter-in-l law had become so
weak and rundown regardless of all
that the doctors could do that she was
merely bundle of skin and bones, and
so weak and delicate we did not believe
she could live. But the day she started
taking Hypo-Cod, you could almost see
her strength and weight coming back,
and before she stopped taking it she had
taken on 30 pounds, or more, and looked
so rosy and nice, it was wonderfully
HUSBAND HELPED ALSO
"My. husband suffered from severe
cold and CHRONIC cough that had
bothered him for close to 27 years, and
his blood had become so bad he had a
breaking out on his body, and had be-
come so rundown and weak he had TO
quit work, but though it seems utterly
impossible and hard to believe, it only
took one bottle of Hypo-Cod to put him
back on his feet, give him new
strength, and he started back TO work.
He feels so much improved in every
way, and has been so completely cured
of that chronic cough that simply can
not praise Hypo-Cod enough, and now
have been taking it myself as a tonic,
and even in my own case can notice
the quick result" declared Mrs. Bank
erd
Coughs and colds Of long standing,
and even the symptoms of tuberculosis,
seem to disappear as if by magic.
Cigarette smokers say il cures their
cough. Thousands praise it as a tonic.
Sold BY good druggists everywhere.

Judge Bennett For Colonel Watson.

Fairmont, July 22-Hon. Louis Ben
nett, of Weston, who has been i'll in
Atlantic City, is considerably improved
in health according TO advice received
here today.
Arising from a sick bed, he has sent
a message to Colonel c. w. Watson. ex-
pressing confidence in the Fairmont
mans success at the August primaries
and in the November election, closing
with a declaration thoroughly charac-
teriStlc of the veteran Lewis county
Democrat:
81 am for Colonel Watson and expect
to give to his candidacy every ounce OF
individual and political influence | may
possess"
Judge Bennett was the party candi-
date for Governor in 1908 and has nu-
merous friends and admirers in every
section of the State.

FROM a purely partisan standpoint,
we do not see how Democrats who de-
sire the success of their party at the
polls next November can hope to &C
complish anything by the nomination
of Mr.. Chiffon for the Senate. If we
are to Judge the future by the past, he
hasn't much chance of being elected
In 1916, having served for six years IN
the Senate, the nomination was tender
ed him without party opposition. But
even under these conditions he was a
drag on the ticket instead OF a help.
John ]. Cornwell, the Democratic can
didate for Governor on the same ticker,
was elected by a plurality OF aoout
5000. President Wilson broke pretty
nearly even, actually securing one
electoral vote. Running on the same
ticket. Senator Chiffon was defeated by
Mr.. Sutherland, the Republican candi-
date, by nearly 5000 votes-and no one
pretends that Senator Sutherland mad
any especial popularity over other Re
publcans.
IfMr. Chiffon, helped by the personal
popularity of Mr.. Cornwell and bolster
ed by the prestige Of President Wilson,
fell so far short in 1916, how in the
world can he expect TO pull through
this year, when these influences will
not be present to add strength to the
ticket?
West Virginia is too close a State
politically TO try any doubtful expert
ment. Ii has been shown that Senator
Chiffon, under the most favorable con-
dtions, is weaker than his party, and
we do not see how he could hope to
win next November, even if he should
be nominated in August. On the other
hand, there is no doubt that Colonel
Watson will be able to secure powerful
support that will not be available for
Mr.. Chiffon. AT the head of the party
ticket. We are firmly convinced that he
will be a winner in the November
election. We have hopes, too, that he
will be able to pull through with him a
Democratic majority in the Legislature
"a happy consummation that would
enable us to undo some of the political
rascality of Governor Hatfield'S ad-
miniStration.

THE past week has brought good
news from the great war now raging In
Europe. The fierce drive that had been
started by the Germans the first OF the
week was definitely stopped by the Al
lies by Thursday, and then General
Foch, in command of the Allied armies,
struck a sudden and terrific blow at the
Huns. They were driven back across
the Marine river with fearful slaughter,
and are still being pushed by the Amer
leans and French and English. Besides
the vast number of Germans who were
killed or wounded, our armies have TAX
en- fully $4,000 prisoners, besides cap
turing 400 guns and other war mater
ialS. One section of the German army
is in a pocket between scissors and
Rheims, and it will have to retreat or be
cut TO pieces. After five or six days OF
heavy disaster, the Huns have brought
up their reserves and are fighting des-
perately to avert loss of ground, but
still they are being pressed hard and the
battle is going against them.
The American soldiers have given a
glorious account Of themselves. They
have been in the thick of the fighting
and have quit themselves like men.
They have fought with such valor and
resourcefulness that they have put a
wholesome fear into the Germans, and
the Huns are becoming deathly afraid
of the Americans they were taught to
despise Regiment after regiment of
American soldiers have distinguished
themselves by their courage, and they
are putting new life and spirit into the
French and English and Italians.

ONE of the apparently strong points
that Mr.. Chiffon insists upon in his
canvass for the nomination for the
United States Senate is unlimited devo-
ton to President Wilson. We may say
for Mr.. Chiffon that he gave the Presi-
dent his support in all matters of leg
isiation that came before the Senate
while he was in that body, and would
no doubt do the same in the future.
But II we are to refer to past events, it
must be remembered that in the Balti-
more convention Mr.. Chiffon held out
against the nomination of Mr.. Wilson
to the bitter end, and opposed him with
every resource that he could command.
We have not forgotten that although
West Virginia really favored Mr.. Wilson
for the presidency, and chose some Will
son men as delegates to the Baltimore
convention, the politicians then in the
saddle in this State, chief among them
being Mr.. Chiffon, absolutely stiHed all
Their activities and put hook in their
nose when they would have voted for
I'm. If in his heart Mr.. Chiffon is
rically devoted to President Wilson and
MS administration, the conversion is
one OF the most remarkable since the
ume OF Saul Of Tarsus.

THE War Department is preparing a
bill TO be submitted to Congress in Sep
TENDER which will provide for an army
Of 100000 men. Although its pro-
visions are not definitely known, it is
likely that the draft age will be extend
cd 10 40 or As years and reduced TO take
in young men Of 10 or 20 years, and
there may be also a material reclassi-
fcation. The administration means to
place in Europe an army great enough
TO win the war-and we must back it
UP in this endeavor.
UNDER authority vested in him by
Congress, President Wilson on Tuesday
issued a proclamation announcing that
the telegraph and telephone lines of
the United States will be taken over by
