A GLASS OF BEER.

The Spirit if jefferson has always
stood for the 'betterment of the NOR
al, intellectual and sanitary condi-
tions of the individual, and commun-
ity. You believe that salvation
should come to the individual, the
community and political parties, and
you particularly believe that the Re-
publican party and more especially
our able member of Congress needs
a little bit of salvation, and glass
of small beer, and do you trust they
will get both.
Let it be remembered that your
name is the Spirit of Jefferson and
living in that knowledge should you
not take off your hat to Woodrow
ilson, for taking the ban off light
wines and small beer, as you always
remove your hat in the hallowed pres
ence of his rulings. You think he is
the one great man who can handle
great things-a leader, not only of
the Democratic party but of the
world, in thought and action.
Surely, in his efforts to build up
constructive democracy reign
of law based on the consent of the
governed" he should hear other vol
ces crying in the wilderness than
those of our extreme prohibitionists.
This arrangement, we understand,
is only temporary but suppose it
should be otherwise. Suppose light
wines and small beers should be per-
mitted to be made under chemical
analysis and sold under government
regulations, might it not be inducive
to individual and public health?

DELIGHTFUL BANQUET LAST
NIGHT.

A delightful banquet was given in
the spacious dining orom of the JEFF
ferson Hotel last night by Mr.. E. B.
Reed, Local Director of the Centen-
airy Drive to the committee that so
assisted him in putting Charles Town
over the top so handsomely in the
drive just closed. The guests assem-
bled in the reception room of the
hotel, and were invited to the dining
room, where a bountiful repast was
served, which for style, service and
abundance, reflected much credit up
on the hotel management. After all
present had done full justice to the
good things placed before them, Mr..
Reed in an appropriate manner
stated why the guests were assembled
at that time, and called on several of
those present for short talks. Among
those who responded were Rev. j. L.
Blakemore, Presiding Elder of Win
chester District, j. R. Polling, of Mar
tlnsburg, Centenary Director for
Winchester District; Rev w. H. Best,
Sunday School Superintendent for
the Baltimore Conference; Rev. t. M.
Swami, and Messrs. B. H. Riddleber-
ger, Watson, c. L. Haines and J. ,,
w. irwin. A very pleasing feature
of the occasion was the presentation |
with appropriate remarks by Rev. w. |
H. Best, Rev. T. NJ Swami and Mr..
j. w. Irwin on behalf of the commit |
tee of handsome chain and P. o. S.
of A. Emblem to Mr.. Reed, to which |
he feelingly replied.

SOLDIERS ATTENTION.

Of the 900 men from the county
who were in the service of their coun-
try in the World War, less than one
hundred have supplied the clerk WIN
a complete record of their service,
Miss Myrtle Barr, in the office OF the
Jefferson County Telephone Company
is compiling these records for preser-
walton in the vault connected WIN inc
County Clerks Office.
The erroneous impression mas pre-
vailed that only the records OF the
men who went overseas are Wahteu.
The fact is that the record OF every
soldier who enlisted from this county
is wanted whether he went overseas
or remained in this country. 10 maxi
these records complete MISS OAR
should be given the name, serial num-
Der, address, date of birth, date Oh
entering the service, the company ana
branch of service of every soldier' 70
gether with date and cause OF ms ans
charge, the length of time overseas
and if an officer, also his rank at eiie
time he left the army.
Don't think this is an unmportane
matter. Within the next ten years
you will regret that you did not gIve
the information wanted. Your sefv-
ice whether it was valuable or not y
part of the country's history, anu
you should be glad to give the iiiioi
nation above indicated.

she wished to do any shopping. Do
you wish to return to grandmother
times or take an elevated car!
This comparison is brought before
you for the simple purpose of Illus
trating why people of today that
are up-to-date use MINTOL in
preference to using mustard plas-
ters and smelly mustard creams.
For colds in the head, catarrh, grip,
bronchitis or pneumonia simply apply
hot. wet towel to the throat and
lungs for five minutes then apply
MINTOL rubbing thoroughly in for
five minutes and cover the parts with
a hot. dry flannel, so arranged as to
allow the vapors arising from the
MINTOL to be inhaled. This treat
ment will be found as much an I'M
over the old-fashioned
musterd bIisters and creams as the
elevated is over walking.
NOTICE:-MLNTOL is the latest
scientific discovery for the treatment
of all congested conditions such as
occur in Spanish Influenza, Grip,
Pneumonia, and Bronchial affections.
It kills the Influenza and Grip germ
and acts as an antiseptic in healing
infiamed threats and nostrils. For
hoarseness, little of the MINTOL
applied to the back of the tongue will
give instant relief. 35c., 6Oc. and

MISSIONARY MEETINGS AT THE
BAPTIST CHURCH.

'sionary conference was enjoyed by a

Thursday. The session started at
1890 with devotional exercises con-

MAY PARTY.

Bring flowers from the hillside,
Pale lilacs from the stream,
Write robed in fragrant blossoms
Pure as a maidens dream.
Bring gentle little daisies,
All spangled DER the green,
Well weave them all together
To crown our May Day Queen.
The chilrden of Miss Nellie Camp
BELLS school celebraed their May Day
festival on Friday, May 23rd. Ow-
ing to the bad weather they were
obliged to have it indoors, which took
away somewhat from the beauty of
the scene, but not of the children,
who were charming in their simple
dainty dresses and suits of white.
The girls wore wreathes of flowers
and the boys each had button bo-
ouet. The Queen, little Catherine
Tod Beltzhoover, was escorted to her
throne by arch bearers, George linn
and Ned Phillips, and by her attend
ants-Sarah Crane, who crowned
her and Sarah Brown, who presented
the sceptor. Each of her subjects,
twenty-five in all, presented her with
a flower, reciting an appropriate
verse. Afterwards it was a beau
tiful sight to see the little hostesses
and their guests seated at the table
where they partook of refreshments
prepared by parents, teacher and
kind friends. The little faces BEAM
ed and it ought to be the JOY and
Measure and duty of every grown up
to see that the little ones enjoy their
birth right of happiness.
