They Can Afford II.

Henry Ford, before retiring from the
presidency Of the company, set mini
mum wage Of Sc a day for employees
of the plant, which insures contented
air around the shops and causes even
the Office boy to whistle cheerily at his
work.
A tin Lizze turned out under such
suspicious conditions ought to do her
work cheerfully and well. Even the
tires can be filled with the contented
air and still have enough left for or
binary breathing purposes, and an ex-
haqst installed by a $6-a-day workman
is bound to have, a cheerful sound.
Even Ford engine starts with a
laugh tho. sometimes the bystanders

What You Pay.

Here are a few plain, though none
the less startling, facts which should
be carefully studied by every employer
of labor who wishes TO improve effici-
ency, reduce production costs and put
his plant on basis where il will pay
dividends on the investment.
The data is furnished by corpora
ton that among its other activities built
a city in a wilderness for the housing
of thousands Of men and women en-
ployes, and when efficiency dropped
below what might be expected, sent ex-
perts to conduct survey and find the
cause. 1t developed:
That one employe in every ten had
a venereal disease.
That 6S per cent of the noneffective
were on the non-effective list because
OF venereal diseases.
That every person who had a ven
ereal disease lost three times as many
hours from work as the person not af-
fected.
That it costs every person so af-
hicted SIS per year for treatment; a
total $4,000 for treatment with loss
of time greatly exceeding this amount.
1t was reasonably established that
conditions in the plant surveyed were
typical of conditions in other plants.
1t served the purpose of convincing
the officials that it would be well worth
the cost to remedy the situation. The
United States Public Health Service
was appealed to and co-operated in
establishing free clinics where the en-
ployes could be treated. Ii took only
a comparatively short while TO write
off the cost Of operating the clinics
by increasing production. Remarkable
progress has been reported in suppress
sion, reduction Of new causes, making
the affected noninfectous, and in cures.
Can any big or little business, in
which conditions are very likely TO be
similar to the above, afford to continue
to sustain this annual loss; loss that
could easily be saved and put the plant
on a basis OF profitable production and
paying dividends on the investment?
Tho Federal Government through
our State Board Of Health at Charles
ton, is establishing clinics for the free
treatment of venereal diseases in most
OF the cities OF West Virginia for those
who cannot afford treatment otherwise

Three Notch Roads.

In Missouri and other Central States,
SAYS the New York Sun, there are roads
that are called three notch roads. They
are public highways, as distinguished
from the roads that lead to sawmill,
a school-house or an isolated farm
house. A three notch road goes
somewhere" Proceeding along such
a road the traveller is bound in time to
reach a town.
There is a story behind the title. Un.
der King George III it became the Gus
tom to mark all English public roads
as kings highways-with his name.
In the Colonies it was often impossible
TO mark the roads with the care and
thoroughness obtaining IN England,
and in the wilderness it was enough TO
cut three notches on the largest trees
along the roads.
After the Revolution the name OF
King George was omitted, but the three
notches proved useful as means Of
marking public roads. Virginia colon
lists carried the practice into Tennes-
see, Kentucky apd Indiana, and their
children in turn carried it into Mis-
souri,.
Originally Missouri had no counties.
Later when they were formed the State
decided that if the task were left TO
the counties there would be little road
building. Accordingly the State con-
structed the roads and marked them
with three notches. Later when the
counties undertook to build roads they
were designated in the timber country
by two notches.
Prior to and during the civil war the
distinction was preserved and three
notch roads were always through roads
that led from one town to another.
Two notch roads were less important
highways, and roads not notched at all
were either rail roads or plank roads.
A rail road was a road leading to a
camp where men split rails and plank
road led TO a sawmill.

BEFORE OR AFTER
INFLUENZA
By DR.. NJ. Cook

The cool fighter always wins and so
there is no need to become panic
stricken. Avoid fear and crowds. Ex-
ercise in the fresh air and practise the
three Cs: Clean Mouth, Clean Skin
and Clean Bowels. To carry off the
poisonS that accumulate within the body
and to ward off an attack of the infu-
enza bacillus, take good liver regulator
to move the bowels, such as Castor Oil
or pill made up of May-apple, leaves
of aloe and root of jalap, to be had at
any drug store, and called DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets.
The system should be built up by the
use of good iron tonic, such as "1ron-
tic" tablets, to be obtained at some drug
stores, or that we'll known blood-maker
and herbal tonic made from roots and
barks of forest trees-sold everywhere
as DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery.
For tonic that will freshen up the
blood, clean the digestive tract and put
new force and vim into you, know of
nothing better than DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery-and it contains no
alcohol or narcotic so is perfectly safe
to take.

Was Not Content With welded Life.

One of the most unusual and re-
markable documents ever admitted TO
record in the local courts is an agree
ment made between bride and groom,
and which has just been recorded IN
the corporation court of Winchester,
Va, wherein the bride asserts that after
three months of married life she is not
contented to live longer as her hus-
bands wife, and that is the sole reason
for separation which is mutually
agreed upon by the parties. The
principals to this agreement are
Charles II. Rinker and his wife, Addie
Rinker, of Harrison county, w. Va
The agreement was recorded there first
and then sent to Winchester for re-
cordaton.
1t rectes, in part, that it is the
brides intention to leave her husband
forever and 10 no longer live with him
as his wife, "the sole and only reason
therefor" the wife declares in the doc
ument, "being that ! am not contented
to live with him." and then she abSolyes
him from any charge of misconduct or
unkind treatment, as follows: "But
not by reason Of any misconduct or
mistreatment of me-" The agreement
then releases the husband from any
present or future claim on his property,
any claim to her inchoate dover rights,
or any claim to alimony. She is like
wise released by her husband from
any claim he may have by courtesy, or
otherwise, to any property she may
have or acquire in future.
The document was executed four
years ago, on March 80, 1915, but has
| lust been recorded.

H. Jefferson County, West Virginia, Thursday May Is, 1919
A. Health Resort.

One of the most interesting and elo-
quent old-time pleaders at the Mis-
souri, bar, says Case and Comment, was
Henry Clay Dean, the picturesque law
yer of Rebel Cove, Putnam County.
The most striking evidence OF his
persuasive powers was not given be-
fore the jury in court room, however,
but in the gloomy corridors of the old
Jail at Kirksville.
Another veteran Of the profession,
Judge A. D. Risdon, tells the story. 1t
was a matter Of pride with Col. Dean,
he says, that in nine cases out OF ten
he could get defendant of in jury
trial. But once he was called upon
to defend a couple OF young fellows
for breaking into a railway car, and
the evidence was so strong that even
Col. Dean saw no way out except to
plead guilty and let the boys take the
lowest sentence. Having reached this
conclusion, Col. Dean was admitted to
the Jail for a talk with his young
clients. 1t happened that there were
in the same prison two other men who
had made arrangements with me TO
represent them, and, as there was great
doubt as to their guilt, had mapped
out a defense that was about as certain
as anything human could be to result
in an acquittal by the jury.
All four men were in the same cor
ridor, and of course my men could hear
what Col. Dean was saying to his
clients.
He took seat between the two boys,
laid a friendly hand on their shoulders,
and began in that smooth, pleasant
way OF his to tell them what life in the
penitentiary was. He said he had been
down there and looked all through the
building and saw how it was conduct
ed: that the yards, rooms-he never
called them cells-and corridors were
kept clean and we'll ventilated; that the
men got there good meals day with
pie and cake on Sunday; that there
were concerts by the band at frequent
intervals; that each man was given
nice new suit of clothes and had his
hair trimmed in a fashionable style.
Of course there was, he admitted, a
little work to do, but only enough for
healthful exercise. Young men went
down there pale and cadaverous, with
blowholes in their lungs, and came
back strong, plump, clear-eyed and
active, the masters of a trade, with
money in their pockets!
The next morning, when court as
sembled, the four men were arraigned.
Deans young clients eagerly pleaded
guilty, and mine followed suit before !
knew what they were about Sur
prised and indignant, | hurried over to
them.
'What do you fellows mean = de-
nanded. "You don't want to 60 to the
penitentiary, do you?"
They looked at each other for mo-
ment and then one Of them replied:
cts this way, Judge: neither me nor
Bill has ever been down there, and we
thought we'd like to take little trip
for our health"

County Agent.
Bill, the Smuggler From Mexico.
By Vim. Wade Waddy, Ir.

DS W lll w oNS " AMY, -
In the mountains of Mexico dwelled
a fierce outlaw, Bill, the Smuggler.
Now, for some number of years the de-
tectives of that State chased him, but
all in vain. Bill had about fifty men
every bit as fierce as himself. They
rode fast black horses over the noun
tains. They were chased for over a
month. At last they found that only
heavy expenses and a big loss Of lives
could catch him. Bill took his men in
a cave after they filled it with cartrid-
ges. 1t was not long until large band
of detectives, numbering about one
hundred and fifty, appeared. Bill said
to his men, "Wait until they come in and
then make it hot for 'em." The de-
tectives decided to wait until night
to attack, but Bill knew that that was
what they were going to do, as they did
not attack before. He had his men
equipped with flashlights and an auto
matte at each side. He appointed three
men to guard the mouth of the cave.
About midnight the men were a.
wakened by the guard and light was
flashed at the mouth Of the cave. A
half dozen detectives were laying on
their side slowly crawling nearer the
men. Bang! Bang! Bang! Three de-
tectives fell. Others pushed toward
the hole, but as fast as they came in
they were shot by the constant shower
of lead. The detectives decided to wait
until they came out, so they could kill
them. Soon they ran out of food, and
so had to come out. They came out
and were captured. Bill became a de-
tective and his men too. They did not
allow outlaws in the State.

The Ruling Passion.

A wealthy merchant of England, the
late Mr.. Asher Wertheimer, says the
Argonaut, used TO tell with great gusto
a story Of his father, Samson Wer-
theimer, who laid the foundation OF the
family fortune. The elder Wertheimer
never spent money unnecessarily. In
the coldest weather he would stand for
hours outside his shop, without great
coat. So his two sons, Asher and
Charles, presented him with a sable
coat, for which they paid three hundred
pounds. Knowing their fathers hatred
Of extravaganza, they told him it had
cost only one hundred pounds. For
three Or four days the old man wore
the coat, and then one morning he ap-
peared without il.
"How much did you give for that
coat ?" he asked his sons.
"A hundred pounds" was the re-
ply.
"Then you got it dirt cheap" retort-
ed the father. 81 sold it for one hun
dred and fifty pounds"

What's In a Name?

No man is so we'll known as he thinks

famed tenor, whose philosophical re-
hection is quoted in the Brooklyn Citi-
zen. To illustrate his point he tells
the following incident:
While motoring in New York STATE
my automobile broke down, and
sought refuge in a farmhouse while
the car was being repaired. ! be-
came friendly with the farmer, who
asked me my name, and ! told him il
was Caruso. The farmer feaped to his
feet and seized me by the hand.
Little did think should see a H.ln
like you in this here humble k.:chen
