SAVING THE PENNIES

HE crowds that thronsed the new city market
4 house were mute testimony 10 the fact that
Fairmont people are seeking to buy their food as
cheaply as they may. This fact is not only shown
by crowds but is to be observed in every
food shop in the city which is running special
q isia long time since local people have given
tue slightest evidence of thriftlness, and while
everyone deplores an economic condition that
causes sunemplo and suffering, yet from one
standpoint there is no doubt but that it is
tremendously good thing that people have been
checked In useless expenditure and at last are
compelled to become alive to the necessity Of
gettIng dollars worth for a dollar.
one Of the greatest factors in running up prices
and in keeping them up was the asinine indiffer-
ence public that purchased all kinds OF articles
with ABSOLUTE ignoring of tho cost When prices

disease to the county health officer they are
doing q distinct wrong to the community and any
citizen aware Of such delinquency should lodge a
prompt complaint. II there are only three con-

believe that this could be true but 1t Is hardly
possible that in the whole of the county there could
be only three cases Of contagious disease
Any doctor who fails to take the time to report
to the county health officer his contagious cases
may be exposing an entire neighborhood to- grave
danger. Doctors are very busy at present; their
faces have tired, haggard expression speaking Of
the strain under which they are working both day
and night in caring for the hundreds OF cases OF
illness designated as nu, but surely eyen in the
rush under which they are working they should

There are diphtheria and scarlet fever both, in

terror to the hearts of the mothers OF families II
the physicians have the real good of the public at
heart they will make out their reports and get
them in to DR.. Yost without delay. The develop

physician in an unenyabie position, as the public
would have'eyery reason to hold them delinquent
