WE AsToNIsH THE WORLD.

In spite of their tremendous annual
bill for fiery liquor the American
people are VIGOROUSLY race of
water drinkers. The fact has always
been commented upon with amaze
ment by foreigners, and especially
the American habit of taking the
water iced. 1t has also been mention
ed win scientific pain by many of
our own medical expers, who have
tried to impress US with the dangers
OF the habit. A friend is reminded by
the impending menace to send us this
clipping of AN ancient and familiar
quatrian:
Many mortal, young and old
las gone to his sarcophagus
Through pouring water, lev
cold adown his warm esophapus.
The author of that bit of scientific
morality is not known. Our friend
says he clipped it from the Chicago
Tribune some years ago, and poss-
IDLY it is to be credited to Eugene
Field. Anyway, it sounds sometime
like him. But we are not sure that il
is scientifically correct. There are
many who still persist. in spite of the
warnings, in the theory that he
drinking of ice water, under reason
able conditions, is in no way harm

HAS SEVERAL MEANINGS

The word "rinktum" has been used
by contributors to this column-con-
triDutors from several New England
states. They used it to denote a low
Gus party, blowout" One that de-
scribed a certain fish as a "rinktum"

Now, in our little village, in the
western part of this Commonwealth,
the word was current in the sixties,
but with another meaning. A father
would say to his son. "What rinktum
nave you been up to now?" implying
that the boy had been Cutting up,"

The strike has been declared off.
and the men have gone back to work.
Within few days conditions will be
normal again.
Just what the fuss was about has
not been clearly stated, so far as
seen. OF course, little if anything
was gained and much confusion
trouble and loss. entailed all around.
How to prevent strizes is prob
lem. To raise the mems wages doesn't
seem to do much good towards sat
lsfying the men long at time. One
demand is followed close on the heels
of another.
Here Is suggestion: The next
time II STRIFE is called, unless for n
real grievance of oppression, let the
merchants and all shopkecpers strike
too. Close up everything, and see how
it works.

MAKE THE HABIT PERMANENT.

They tell us that habit once
formed becomes fixed for all time
unless an effort is made to break it
or change it, This is certainly true
of bad habits formed, but not so much
so with habits of the other kind, as
we all know. Good habits will not
only be lost by neglect but will be
necessarily replaced by bad one.
BY which it is meant to ask: "Shall
the good habits of economy, indus
try and thrift formed during the war
become permanent Shall the people
continue in the good work and ways.
or drift back into the old pre- war
habits of lazinc5s and extravaganza
and careless living? We made great
crops, great gardens, saved and
bought bonds and stamps, and en-
joycd it all living simpler and more
hcalthful lives. The women lind
men as well, gave their time and
money unselfishly, impartially to the
various war industries, and grew
larger in mind and heart thereby.
VIII we all drift back into the old
ruts? There are indications that we
are already drifting In one notable
respect is the sale of thrift and war
savings stamps. The postmaster here
says he Is paying out instead of TAX
ing III money for stamps. People are
cashing their bonds instead of buy

HIGHEST MEDAL IS WON Ry
VIRGINIA.

Eary Gregory, of Chase City, who
Is just back from the fighting in
France, is the only soldier in the
state of Virginia to get acongressi-
onal medal of honor" said Berkeley
H. Adams, the new member of the
state corporation commission "Tb;s
young. man is just twenty wears old
now. He is about the most unassum-
ing person you would find in a davis
travel. According to what | have
learned about this soldier. he was
with trench mortar battery and
was sending shell over ut short
range. The name of the battle I have
forgotten. At any rate there was n
nest OF machine guns directly ahead,
hidden by rock ledge, and it was
impossible to dislodge them. They
were giving trouble.
When attention was called to this
Gregory said he would put an end to
them. He filled his haversack with
grenades and took Il brace of good
army pistols. He wormed his wav
across the fields and surprised one
gang. He put all three of tie Ger
mans out Of business with the pis-
tolls. He crawlci fifty feet further
and sent three other Germans to keen
company with the first three. He
next encountered Il sentinel, who was
guarding gang Of eighteen who
were asleep or resting. lie shot the
sentinel and marched over to the
drgout, where the sleerers were con-
fined. He kicked open the door and
oiterei hands up.
In the dugout was e captain in
charge of the gunnors. He marched
out, and when he saw what this
American hoy had done he attacked
Gregory---rather he started to attack
Gregory, Gregory placed three bull
lets in row in his head and lifted
the top off. The eighteen others
formed in line n; his command and
he marched them back to his COM
pany and turned them over to the
captain.
when he reached Camp Lee the
honor that was voted him was ready
The officers sent for the members Of
his family, asking them to appear a
certain day. The soldier had not said
a word to them. They did not know
what was up. They reached camp
and the ceremonies began. the SOL
der was ordered to step to the front
and the badge was pinned on him.
"Gregory's father is the station
agent at Chase City, and the mother
is in charge of little hotel there and
is well known. 1t takes . good deal
of hard work to make this boy tell
of what he did. but the facts have
been made public at his home. One
other congressional medal was order
ed to be sent to the family of Vir-
gilman soldier, but the poor fellow
died from wounds. SO this Mecklen-
burg boy is the sole soldier living in
Virginia to get that honor"
