RECOGNIZED POWER OF MUSIC
In All Ages the Value of Sweet Sounds
Has Been Acknowledged
by the Wise.

A leading educationalist has this to
say concerning the value of music:
Il cannot think of an ideal home
without music, for it would surely be
very incomplete without it. To me.
the beauty Of music cannot be de-
scribed in words. There seems to be
no state of mind that one can be in
In which music is not welcome. Even
In the Bible we read that David played
Ga the harp for Saul to quiet his
troubled mind. We need music every
day in our home more than any other
place, for the good of our mind and
body.
The benefits of music are also
seaching the hospitals, the homes of
the sick, and busy people after hard
days work find it refreshing to come
home and hear its soothing strains.
1--WE also enjoy music in our homes
Of learning-the schools. The school
orchestra and the songs we sing in
assembly make US feel like starting
cut on the days study in an excellent
mood"

court of Edinburg was the scene
OF very exciting trial Monday,
wherein two warrants charging
assault and battery against the

that William Baker clandestinely
stole the daughter of Mrs. Waters
, and married her in the City Of
M artinsburg, in May. Since the
marriage it is alleged Mrs,
Waters has been very hostile and
upon all occasions has manifest
ed a very bellicose disposition
towards the Bakers. Accord
'inglv her wrath grew too much
for her and she made visit to
the home OF Bob Baker father of
William Baker, and there bv
threat and charges SO enraged
Miss Lucy Baker, that she seized
Mrs, Waters by the hair and
forcibly evicted her from the
home OF Bob Baker. From Mr..
Bakers Mrs. Waters visited the
home Of Mrs. Cleda Nicholson,
(nee Baker,, where again She
was evicted after indulging in
threats and vicious epitfets
against Mrs. Nicholson. In the
process of eviction Mrs. Waters
was injured in the arm by falling
upon it.
Mrs. Waters invoked the
majesty of the law and issued
two warrants against the person
Of Lucy Baker and Cleda Nichol-
son for assault and battery. Ar
rests were made and the matter
In all its phases was aired by

VirQinia tuberculosis Association
To the Editors OF the
Shen. HERALD, Wood
nk>.t. W


Dear Sir: l trust you will
give me the opportunity of pre-
senting. through the medium of
your valuable paper, few words
relative to the work of the Vir-t
ginia Tuberculosis Association
for the past year. 1t is my be-
liet, after very careful study,
that there are many people i'll
Virginia who are unaware of the
work which our Association is
doing.
Every Christmas we come be-
fore you asking that you sup
port US by buying "Christmas
Seals" To this you have all
ways responded most admirably.
/ believe, however, that were it
generally known concerning the
great strides which have been
made in Tuberculosis work
throughout the country, and in
your own state particularly and
also the plan under which the
Virginia Association operates,
the returns from our annual sale
would more than double. The
death rate from Tuberculosis
Gall forms in the United States
has been cut so per cent in the
last eighteen years. In Virginia
during the past six years it has
been cut IS per cent. This is a
most remarkable drop, and
most encouraging one, il the
people will continue to give us
their hearty support. Last year
our association raised through
the medium of this sale approx
mately 100000. We returned
to the several counties of the
state an aggregate amount of
over $34, 100000, firmly believing
that the successful eradication of
Tuberculosis largely rests in
local hands.
For instance: Out of the sum
of $3s7.40 raised in Shenandoah
County we returned $174.33 for
local use. This latter amount
has been very wisely expended
towards partially defraying the
expenses and salary of the pub
lie health nurse.
You will therefore. see that the
buving of Christmas Seals by
the people of your county, creates
a most solemn obligation on fhe
part of this Association to serve
local needs.
We have been fearful that the
reaction of the public at large
to all charitable work, because
of the slump subsequent to the
war, might be disastrous to our
sale this year. Mr.. Editor, T
assure you that the need was
never so great. nor the future so
bright for Tuberculosis work as
it is today. If the people of
your county will earnestly sup.
port this work, we shall surely
win. If they give up now. much
that we have gained in the past
eighteen years will be lost. l
appeal to your people to support
this work as they have never
done before.
Yours very truly,
LORING L. SPEAR,
Executive Secretary.

Polite to Make Noise While EatIno

Polite to Make Noise While EATING.
When an Abyssinian and his guest
sit down to the table woman is sta
toned on each side of them, not to
dine, but to see that they get plenty
to eat. These women cut the food and
cram it into the mouths of the men
with as much speed as possible.
To show their appreciation of the
food which is set before them. the
Abyssinians must make as much
noise as possible in eating. The man
who can manage the largest bites and
make the most noise while doing so
Is held in high esteem by his fellows,
and considered quite well bred.
The women vie with one another in
trying to see who can feed the
Abyssinian men the swiftest, and ex-
press keen pleasure when their par
ticular charge makes the most noise
while eating.

Why Druggists Recommend
 Swamp-Root,

For many years druggists have watched with much interest the re- markable record maintained by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder medicine.
 It is a physicians prescription.
 Swamp-Root is strengthening medicine. It helps the kidneys, liver and bladder do the work nature in- tended they should do.
 Swamp-Root has stood the test of years. It is sold by all druggists on it's merit and it should help you. No other kidney medicine has so many friends.
 Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start treatment at once.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Bing- hamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper. (advertisement.)

NEW YORK, Nov 14-Plannins the weeks supply for the average family is considerable of a task, as many good housewife will testify. Planning the food supply for the pas sengers and crew of an ocean liner for the period of month is a prob lem of headachy nature.
 The big United States liners sailing out of New York for European ports must be provisioned for round trip as far as imperishable foodstuffs are concerned One of the hardest work ed men in the steamship business is A. (. Hardy, Commissary Superin- tendent of the United States Lines, who finds his daily task the obtain ing and putting aboard the vessels of the big American fleet, sufficient provisions to supply them for round trip to Europe. The housewife who figures in pounds and days and wor- ries over her task would do we'll to give thought to the problem of think ing in tons and weeks.
 In provisioning a vessel for a trip from the port of New York, the United States Lines endeavors to supply both an infinite variety and a sufficient amount of food for a trip to Europe and return The amount of supplies placed on board of any of the liners are enough to stagger the imagination of any householder. The thirty different kinds of fresh and smoked meats, including seven whole cattle, have a total weight of 37,000 pounds.
 Fresh poultry and game are next on the list with total of 6,500 pounds, divided as follows: HOO pounds of broilers, 500 pounds of duck 425 pounds of capons, $500 , pounds of chicken, 250 pounds of goslings, 500 pounds of squab 1,400 pounds of turkey, and no pairs of grouse, cartridges and quail.
 So that there will be plenty of mashed, boiled, fried and other kinds of potatoes for everyone, the ships are usually supplied with 30,O0O pounds. It is calculated that the average American eats between a pound and pound and a half of potatoes per day Then comes a va riety of forty different kinds of fresh vegetables having combined weight of l0,500 pounds.
 Fresh fruit to the number of 29o crates, and 400 quarts of fresh ber- rIes are needed to supply the pas sengers for one trip across.
 The amount of fresh milk cons sumed on one vessel of the United
The Alaska daily empire., 1922-11-14

, States Lines during trip to Europa would be equal to the weeks output of large dairy farm in the Urited States. In provisioning the vessels of the fleet, the Commissary Super intendent calculates, on 25,000 quarts of fresh milk, and 500 quarts of rich cream. for the trip to Europe. For the return trip, fresh supplies must be taken on board at the European ports of call.
 /! The lovers of fish have an endless variety to select from. In the pro- ] visioning Of each of the vessels. abou: l thirty kinds oi fish, having a tctal weight of 6000 pounds are placed on board. Besides the fish, from eight to ten barrels of live crabs and Holsters are taken into the commissary quar- ters. Recently, the United States Lines attempted an experiment which has proved very successful, in the matter of carrying five fish in tanks. 1 This has made decided hit with the passengers, and it is likely that the | service will be continued.
 Cheese. which the average house wife gives but little thought to, is considerable of an item in the sup plies for an ocean liner, and each of the vessels of the United States Lines fleet are supplied with fourteen varie- ties ot cheese, having total weight ot 900 pounds. Among the other nec- essary items could be. included tea and coffee, to the amount of 5000 pounds cereals and caored foods ,to the amount of 2,500 pounds, and ice cream to the amount of 1000 bricks. As an idea of the necessity for the big list of oommissary supplies used cn an ocean liner, a sample of din- ner menu to be had on any of the vessels operating under the United States Lines might be offered as fol- lowsi Little neck clans witt, cock tail sauce, pearl onions, pickled wal nuts, sweet pickles. green olives, Vir- ginia ham, Bismarck herring; green turtle soup a rAnglaise, consomme with egg dumplngs; broiled salmon sauce bercy, creamed turbotin aux huitres tlourens; calves feet a la diable, epigram of veal Nicoise. brais- Cd rack of lamb Piemontaise. rissoto .Ienoise, prime ribs of beef all jus, larded cocque de Bruyere Cambridge orange salad, peas and carrots, fried egg plant heare, potatoes boiled, Del momco, baked apricots, cherries let tucee.
