The Irregular Heart

rev physical ills are more alarm
ing AZ first than an intermittent heart
AS general rule the person whose
'e"'t Is irregular is more frightened
than hurt" Most people with irres-
u'ar hearts live to a good old age or
At least do not die of heart disease.
The irregularities of heartbeat NAV
&c irregularities either in RHYTHM or in
force The irregularities in force are
IN many cases the more dangerous.
what is called the alternating pulse
IS of that character, A fairly strong
0eat alternating with weak or al
most imperceptible beat. The alter
mating pulse occurs usually only in
cases of serious disease and points
10 loss of power, or degeneration of
the heart muscle, A very rapid pulse
caused by emotion or violent muscu-
lar effort is perfectly normal and slows
down gradually when the exciting
cause has passed. More serious is
the rapid pulse that occurs in attacks
without any apparent cause and that
then subsidies spontaneously.
Persons sometimes have an habitual-
ly rapid pulse-from ninety 10 a hun
dred beats or more a minute-from the
middle of the day on TO bedtime and
after. In many cases too much smok-
ing is the cause. An occasional in
termittence in the heartbeat occurring
at irregular intervals is not uncom-
mon, but although it usually is of no
serious import il causes much mental
distress. Often il is merely the re-
suit of some digestive disturbance and
can usually be relieved temporarily by
dose of castor oil. A person whose
heart is intermittent should always
consult physician, for there is a
form called "heart block" that is sig
niticant of real heart trouble.
Auricular fertilization is an alarming
condition in which the smaller cham
bers of the heart are twitching and
Jerking without any ef!ectual contrac-
tons; the twitchings are irregular and
are very rapid, two or three hundred
times a minute. Auricular hutter is
similar, though the contractions, which
are exceedingly rapid, are more regu-
lar. In children and in some adults
the pulse is more rapid during the
drawing Of the breath and less rapid
with expiration. The condition has no
dangerous significance.

ambulatcr TO and fro in front of his
house. He looked hot, but cOntented
"My DEAR" came a voice from an
upper window of the house.
"Now let me alone" he called back
"We're all right"
An hour later the same voice, IT
earnest, pleading tones:

"Well, what do you want?" he re-
sponded Anything wrong in the

"No, dear; but you have been

N. & w. is Most Prosperous.

The Norfolk and Western Railroad
is expected to show close to 1877 pei
cent on Sl25, 900 common stock this
year, compared with IL per cent on
S12l ,522,1OO common stock last year
If heavy expenditures had not been
necessitated by the shipments strike
to restore motive power and other
equipment and an extensive program
Of track work, net results for 1922
would have run into decidedly larger
figures.
The increase of S4,l22,9 900 in COM
mon stock this year is due to CONVEX
sions of bonds in stock. The full BEN
eft of this reduction in interest or
funded debt will not be reflected in
income until next year.
Norfolk & Western has realized a
large volume of traffic as the result OF
the unusual market for Pocahontas and
other Southern district coal since last
February. The ability of the mines to
keep operating during the miners
strike has made possible the good earn
ings Of the stock, and, consequently,
the expenditures resulting from the
shopmen's strike are not a serious
matter.

Ciendenning was cut and bruised, but
not seriously injured.

mas resigned as assistant 10 the At
torney-General of the United States.
HE gives up his duties in Washing
Ton to return 10 ClarkSburg and take

tates of his father and brother. The

and Mr.. Gof will give his time to
looking after the large property in
terests of the COTS in this State.
A large bank barn On the Jackson
farm owned by John = FiShpaw, near
stones Chapel, in c. -'le county, was
destroyed by fire Z started in A
threshne machine ing operated in
the building last T day. The con-
tents were lost with ;''e barn, including
40 to so tons of hay, 300 bushels Of
barley, 600 bushels of wheat, harness
and farm implements of various kinds.
A silo filled with ensilage was also
destroyed. The loss IS estimated n
$4,000. Mr.. fishpaW as right badly
burned while trying to save some of
his live stock.
Pleading guilty to a charge of big
amy, Richard Mahoney, of Freeport,
Ohio, was sentenced in the Circuit
Court at Martinsburg last Thursday to
a year in the State Penitentiary. All
three OF the defendants wives were
IN court, but his plea obvated the
taking of their testimony. The first
one was from Ohio, since divorced
and remarked. The second was Miss
Mary HouSer, of Martinsburg, but her
marriage was automatically annulled,
1t was said, because when he married
her he had not secured his divorce
from his first wife. The third wife
was Miss Evelyn Kessner, Of Frost
burg, Md, the status of whose mar
riage has not been determined. The
latter stayed with Mahoney in the
courtroom, had chat with him after
he had been sentenced and went with
him to Jail, where they parted.
The quarries of the Standard Lime
and Stone Company at Kearneysville
have closed down for the winter Work
men occupying the company's houses
have been notified that house rent
must be paid il they mean to remain
where they are. Mules, carts and
other equipment used there have been
moved to the company's other quar-
ries at Millville and Martinsburg
Operations at Kearneysville have been
greatly curtailed since the railroad
strike started in July. Even since the
strike was declared off officials have
encountered much difficulty in getting
cars for hauling stone, only enough
being allowed since the roads have
been employed hauling coal to keep
the quarrymen busy two or three days
in a week. The company's manager
announces that sufficient number of
men will be retained at the quarries
this winter to keep the water pumped
out of them.

of state taxes approved by Pierce of So, ,5e4 0Ss,
or so Fer cent of the total 1884, There is no
telling how much of the remainder he might
have approved If he had had chance, and it
may be significant that the state taxes have
decreased over II per cent since Mr.. Pierce was
retired from the State Senafe
Mr.. Pierce has always been consistent tax
booster. He voted against only three per cent
of all the appropriations of the 1918 session of
the Legislature and voted for all the appropria-
tions of the 1920 special session.
IR1s17 Mr.. Pierce introduced bill to exempt
money, notes mortgages and accounts from
taxation. Yet he poses as being anxious to
take the burden off real estatel

GOVERNOR oLcoTTS RECORD
The above are but few of the extravagances
OF Pierce. Mr.. Olcott, on the other hand, has
conducted the business of the state in an eco
nonlical sane and business-lke manner. He
has saved the state thousands of dollars because
OF his level-headedness and his intimate knowl-
edge OF state affairs He built new Bows
Industrial School Building by diversion of
millage fund, and therefore, without single
cent additional tax. He has insisted upon devel-
opment OF the various state farms connected
with the state institutions until the present year
shows the unprecedented income from this
source of $49l,511. He is no talker, no politi-
clan, no idle promiser and is not seeking re-elec-
ton under false pretenses nor catering to prcju-
dice, but is going to the people on his own
splendid record, confident that if he can but get
that record and Mr.. Pierces record before the
voters of Oregon that he will be vindcated on
election day, Tuesday, Nov. 7th

In TINS campaign, waiter f1erce mas gone
about the country melo-draniatlcally tearing tax
bills in two by way of illustrating what he will
do to taxes if elected.
The voter, then, should analyze the tax mat
ter to the extent of becoming informed as to
just what part the governor plays in imposing
or reducing taxes.
In the first place, the voter should know that
the total levy in Oregon for 1922 is $40,473,s0e.
This is reduction of over ST 500 900 from
last year, so that it will be seen the high cost of
government following the war is already reced-
ing.
OF this 1922 levy of 40 million over 81 mil
lion was for county, city and school district
purposes, over which the governor could have
no possible control whatever.
Of the remaining million for state purposes,
only 3l million are taxes over which the legis-
lature has any discretion, and of this amount,
only 21l million are for the actual expenses of
state government and might, therefore, in even
the rer1otest degree, be charged to the methods
employed by the governor in administering the
states affairs.
In passing, it should be noted that this state
levy is an increase of Al per cent, since 1916,
and not several hundred per cent, as stated on
various occasions by the democratic candidate.
1t should also be noted that less than half of
this Al per cent occurred during Mr. Olcotts
administration This ability to keep down the
cost OF the state government to SO small an
increase, when living expenses in the ordinary
home in the same period increased over 100 per
cent, is most creditable showing.
MR. PIERCE'S TAX RECORD
1t is proper at this point to examine Mr..
Pierce's own record on taxes and see if past
actions as legislator square with his words
OF the Ss,S7s,2ss of state taxes for 1922.
which include the millage taxes, MR. PIERCE
SPECIFICALLY HAS APPROVED OF
So 564 O39, or 80 per cent. He had no chance
at most of the other per cent.
OF the 1922 state taxes, Pierce introduced
bills accounting for $1,42s,l2e, or is per cent
In addition to this, he voted for tax bills
introduced by others to the amount of SIS, LA
