RUPTURE SHIELD
EXPERT HERE

E. j. Meinhardi, the well known
Expert from Chicago, will personally
be at the Waldo Hotel, Clarksburg,
West Va, on Friday only, Feb. 18th.
from 900 A. NJ. to 500 P. M.
Mr.. Meinhardi says "The Vacuum
Rupture Shield" will not only hold
the Rupture perfectly, but will con-
tract the opening in thirty days on
the average usually giving in
staneous relief withstanding all strain
regardless of the size and location of
the Rupture.
WARNING: Do not expose your
self to the danger of wearing old
style trusses with understands. These
trusses usually place the pad on the
lump and not on the rupture opening.
This often causes strangulation
which usually ncessitates an immed-
late surgical operation or results in
sudden death. "The Vacuum Rup-
ture Shield" has no understraps, no
straps around the body or legs. 1t is
also perfectly sanitary and practi-
cally indestructible, and should be
worn while bathing. Only gentlemen
are invited to call at this time as a
special visit will be made here later
for women and children.
Notice: '9The Vacuum Rupture
Shield" can not be fitted by mail.
Every case must be seen personally
Please note the above dates and
hours carefully. Strictly no charge
for demonstration. Address all cor
respondence to E. ]. Meinhardi Co.,

Night Coughing
Quickly Stopped
New Way Simple Buf
Very Efgecsiv

Night coughing, with its distressing
loss of sleep ard dangerous sappine
of strength and vitality, can now be
almost instantly checked through
simple but wonderfully effective treat
ment that is economical, too.
This treatment is based on the ia
nous prescription known as DR.. Kings
New Discovery for Coughs. For aston
ishing relief make this test tonight
before retiring: Simply take one tea
spoonful and hold it in the throat for
is or 20 seconds before swallowing it.
The prescription has a double action.
1t not only soothes and heals soreness
and irritation, but it quickly loosens
and removes the phlegm and conges
ton which are the real cause of night
coughing. So with the cause removed,
coughing stops quickly and you sleep
the whole night through.
The DR.. Kings New Discovery pre-
scription is for coughs, chest colds,
sore throat, hoarseness, bronchitis,
spasmcdic Group, etc. Fine for children
as well as grown-ups - no harmful
drugs. AT all good druggists. Ask for

A FEW FACTS ABOUT THE
DOG LAW"
By w. A. Street

This is known as House Bill No.
1879. The title is "For the Protection
of sheep" 1t was introduced in the
House of Delegates on January p
by Mr.. King of Nicholas County. 1t
passed the House on April the 18th.
Was sent to the Senate, where the
House Bill was substituted by the
Senate Bill but the Title and No.
was retained. The Senate substitute
was passed by the Senate April the
22nd by 25, for the Bill and against
The House Bill passed the House by
81, for and IL against. | was and
am still opposed to the license fea-
ture of the Bill, but there were three
features that approved of: LIST ] am
opposed to aliens owning dogs; End
i am in favor of making dogs per-
sonal property; Bird l am in favor of
every one taking care of their dogs.
You are required to keep your dog
under your control You may hunt
with him at any time, night or day
but YOU must be with him. | am
SIRE that no one would want his
dog to go chasing foxes or any other
animals unless he was with him.
As to the House Bill, that had 40
majority before / voted so it did not
make any difference how | voted, the
Bill would pass, but the law we now
have | did not vote on it at all.
The object of this law is to get
the worthless stray dogs that are
running over the country and net
the dog that you take care of.
Let me say right here that no one
will go to the legislature and get all
that he wants. Experience counts
for a great deal in legislation It
viii take any one at least one term
to get a start. / am sure that |

Sion than l did at the last one. But

but as | stated, no one can get all

the Dog Law but supported the
House Bill, for reasons stated above.
Sheep are the most profitable in

can engage in, but this does not say
that the owner of the dog should be
imposed on. Let our policy be,
Live and let live. | do not look
on people who want to own dogs, as
criminals or outlaws" l am sure
that the dog owner does not wish
his dog to destroy his neighbors
sheep or any other property.
Let every one take hand in the
game and rid the country of stray,
worthless dogs and keep his own dog
under his conrtol and there will be
no destruction of any property by,
dogs, at least. have heard many
sheep owners, says, 81 have no OBJ
lection to any man owning dogs, if

ed to having the sheriff go out and

too costly. l am convinced, that if

license feature, it could be reduced

10000 gallons Of gasoline. l,5O0
bushels Of wheat and an empty flat

The total damage is estimated at
$500.
Another car of wheat which did not
leave the track and two box cars and
passenger coach on the rear end
of the train were undamaged. 1t is
thought that spark from the brakes
caused the tanker to burst into
flames.
Fire from the burning gasoline was
swept up by a strong wind and spread
to nearby fields. threatening the. town

path but it was headed off before any
great damage had been done.
The remaining cars ahead of the

ADOPTION OF
2-CENT TAX
is SOLUTION
Highway Body Now Unable Ia
Meet Demands Made on
II For Road Work IS

Requests for improvement Of the
state highway system already on file
and approved by the state highway
commission are SO numerous that
nearly all the commissions 1927 in
come is encumbered or allotted, says
department announcement.
+The only relief in. sight that will
enable the highway body to keep
pace with the demands made on it is
through the approval of the 2-cent
gas tax measure at the June primar-
, ies," the announcement states. This
will afford additional revenue which
the highway commission can apply
to the requested projects by its usual
contribution Of 25 per cent Of their
cost.
Speed Limit Reached
"On the other hand, if the measure
fails of approval by the voters the
state roads cannot be improved ut
a greater rate Of speed than al pres
ent, and many of the improvements
requested and now in the hands of
the commission will have to wait un-
til 1927, or even later. Or, the coun.
ties desiring these improvements will
have to stand so per cent Of their
cost instead of the usual 25 per cent. >
The announcement points out thai
owing to the lack of funds this veal
i n miles Of road could not be gravel.
ed and 4O2 miles Of earth grading
could not be done, though this work
was requested last year. Since Jan
uary 1, the commission has received
additional requests for 1866 miles o.
earth grading and 256 miles of grave
surfacing.
Adoption Of the 2-cent tax mea
sure" says the announcement, "wll
provide about $5OO,OOO additional
revenue and enable the commission
to increase the size Of its construc
ton program about 20 per cent, OF
| sufficient to keep pace with the de
nands for improvements"

DEVINE WILL
REPLY TO MAN
FROM OREGON
Will Inform "Fly.by-Night
Critic" Of North Da.
kOta's Importance

An Orcgonian who recently
toured" North Dakota on a west
bound passenger train and then saw
fit to express an unfavorablc opinion
of the state. thereby started some
thing which is expected to enlarge
somewhat on his crampcd knowledge
of the great Flickcrtail state.
J. VI. Devine, veteran commissioner
of immigration, is going to see that
this far-western critic gets proper
perspective of what North Dakota is
doing for the country. And it will
not be the first time that the aggres-
sive commissioner has taken the
pains to enlightcn "fly-by-nigh'
critics." as he terms them.
The fact is, Mr.. Devinc welcomes
every such opportunity. for he usually
goes right back at the publication
giving space to the original criticism
with a statement Of facts and. he
says, he invariably is allowed many
times more space and better position
than the critics themselves receive.

passed through the state on April
was so disturbed because he saw no.

natives were unhappy. His impres

to much anyway.
Before long he will have before hin
a well-written. dignified and complete
statement Of facts showing tina
North Dakota is an important state
because among other things:
It leads all other states in whca
production.
In 1925 it led in winter rye. flal
and barley production.
100000 acres were sOwn to crop
in 1925.

One-third Of the country's flax ant
