an apology for being alive. No explanations

of grandeur, an unparalleled
display of nature's sublime handiwork.

Must Work 36 Hours a Week
or be Liable to Sentence
on Roads.
(By Associated Press)
CHARLESTON, W. Va., June 19?
Beginning today all mayors, justices
of the peace and other peace officers
ot West Virginia will assume the additional
dutv of enforcing the act of!
the recent extraordinary section of!
the Legislature making provision for
the prevention of "Idleness and Vagrancy
During the War."
Advance copies of the law were sent
to all such officers by direction of the
governor several days ago and they
were directed to see that It is strictly
enforced. The idle and vagrant in the
state must get to work and earn at
least what it takes to feed and clothe
them. They will no longer be permitted
to let their wives or other female
relatives support them.
By the act it ig declared to "be the
duty of every able-bodied male resident
of the state, between the ages of
sixteen and sixty years, to habitually
and regularly engage in some lawful,
useful and recognized business, profession,
occupation or employment,
whereby he may produce or earn sufficient
to support himself and those
who legally depend on him."
It also 1b provided that from today
and thenceforward "until six months
after the termination of the present
war between the United States and
the German Imperial government, any
able bodied male resident of the state!
between the ages of sixteen and sixty
except bona-fide students during the
school term, who shall fall or refuse
to regularly and steadily engage for
at least 36 hours per week" shall be
held to be a vagrant within the meaning
and effect of the act and be guilty
pf a misdemeanor.
Upon conviction for the offense the
law provides that the offender shall be
fined not more than $100 for each ofi
fense >and as a part of such sentence
and punishment, such offender shall
be ordered by the trial court to worki
not exceeding sixty days on the public
roads or streets or upon some other j
public work being done by the county
or municipality in which he Is con-!
victed.
One half of the fair value of such
labor so performed shall be paid toward
the support of any persons legally
dependent upon him, if he has such
dependents.

Fat.
"I admit that it is much of an effort
to keep your spirit from growing fat
as to keep your body from growing
fat," says Margaret Deland In the
Woman's Home Companion. "It
means making sacrifices; you will give
up potatoes to keep your body light;
you will have to give up faultfinding
and gossip to keep your heart light, j
But the effort pnys!"
Hang the Expense!
As George folded the fair young
creature to his heart a ami, cmi'mug
sound smote his ear. "Ah! It's gooflby
to those cigars in my vest pocket,"
he said grimly; "but hang the expense
at a moment like this."
