OBITUARY

John William Shomo was born Nov.
l, 1852 at Luray, Va, and while still
a babe in his mothers arms was NOV
ed by his parents to farm near the
Talbot Church, and near his old
home he passed to the Great Beyond
Nov. 9th, 1926, age "a years, s days.
He was married to Sarah Ellen
Williams Feb. 25th, 1879, who de-
parted this life Jan. both, 1892.
He later married Sarah Alice
Thornhill, who, with four sons and
two daughters, all by his first mar
rage, survive. The children are:
Delbert of Charleston, Willie of Be-
lington, Lloyd and Blackburn OF
Gassaway, Mrs. Rosa Thorn Of Be

dread disease, cancer, for number
Of years and treatment by radium and

BARBOUR COUNTY HEALTH
ASSOCIATION

The following article was copied
from the November Hygiea and pre-
sents interesting facts relative to the
number of deaths from tuberculosis:
"In 1925, less than two-thirds as
many people died of tuberculosis in
the United States as persisted from
this cause in 1900, Notwithstanding
the fact that the population was al
most twice as large. Estimating on
the basis of registration area alone
the decrease was more than two
thirds in population more than
twice as large
CDR. Allen X. Krause points out
that the death rate is SO per 100000
as contrasted with the rate Of 202
per 100000 in 1900. If the rate of
that period has persisted, the accum
lated mortality would have been al
most five millions of people. The
number of lives saved from tuber-
culosis since 1900 is almost 100000.
A careful investigation of the rates
year by year shows a greatly de-
crease prevalence Of the disease. A
sharply declining curve indicates
some factor which accelerated the
steady progress toward what might
perhops be called the point Of
minimum reduction"
"Since the great influenza epide-
mic Of 1918, however, there has been
this sharp break in the mortality
curve, which has been explained ac-
cording to various beliefs. 1t was
suggested for instance that the cpl
demic carried away thousands Of per-
sons with tuberculosis at on stike and
thereby depleted the population that
might have died in the years follow
ing from this cause. DR.. Krause is
opposed to this view, and presents
figures to explain the reasons for
his observation Nevertheless, since
1918 there have died from T .B. a
bout $4,000 fewer persons thar
would have died if the rate Of 1915
had continued"
DR.. Krause believes that this di-
minishing incidence of the disease
marks the elimination of numerous
activities begun shortly after 1900
and reached their stride in 1919. He
believes the sale of more than $1,000
900 worth of stamps, and indeed as
many as $5,GO0,0O0 worth as Christ
mas, has materially contributed tc
the growth of these institution, and

WHY BROADDUS DID NOT
FINISH HER SCHEDULE

AT meeting OF the BrOaduuS ALh-
letic Board several months ago it
was UNANIMOUSLY voted to adhere to
the policy favored by the 1925-26
athletic board in regard to a foot
ball contest with Davis and Etkins
College.
Last Spring the board discussed
the feasibility of entering into new
contract with D. & E. since the two
year contract had expired. Although
no vote was taken at that time, the
expressed sentiment of the members
favored a temporary discontinuence
Of athletic relations. This decision
was not prompted by any Interior
animosity toward the institution.
Since 1919, and possibly ever be-
fore, the usual annual football games
have been played under written con
tracts. IN 1919 the game was play
ed in Philippi, and before this time
all games were played in Elkins. In
1920 two games were played, the
first at Elkins and the second at
Phihppi The 1921 game was played
at Elkins the 1929 game at Philippi

more games, The first as Eiklns, ard
the second at Phtiippi, nut 4 ccntlaci
