The Story of Our States MACS VIRGINIA AS TBI biim Im plies. West Virginia was originally a portion of Virginia, tbs Old Dominion Colony. its history Is nat urally op with that of tha Mother there are many points In the two sections of Virginia divergent and It was for this reason that West Virginia finally became a sepa rate state. The first white man who prob ably penetrated tbe wilderness of this Western region was John Laderer, a German surgeon, who went on a tonr of exploration in 1669. In the same year, La Salle sailed up tbe Ohio and landed at several points In the present state. There was little coloniza tion until 1732, when Scotch and Irish adventurers began to fill Western Virginia. They were encouraged but little, and, In fact, tbe King in 1788 declared that this part of the colony was Indian country and could not rightfully be settled. Colonisa tion continued, however, and bit ter warfare was waged against the Indians and the French who had come down from the North. In 1774 the battle of Pt. Pleasant was fought, which was one of the bloodiest of Indian conflicts. The backwoodsmen who set tled in the Western part of Vir ginia were entirely different types of men from the wealthy slave owners along the coast. Jealousies between the two sec tions arose and the Western countries felt great dissatisfac tion at the way Virginia was governing them. The most marked point of disagreement was over the slavery question, and It was because of this that, when Virginia seceded from tbe Union In 1861, West Virginia took matters In Its own hands. Delegates met at Wheeling, drew up a separate constitution, and declared their Independence. Their application for admission Into the Union was accepted by Lincoln, and In 1868 West Vir ginia became the thirty-fifth state. It Is often called the “Pan handle State” on account of Its shape. Its area Is 24,170 square miles, and It has eight presiden tial electors. (© by HcClur* Newspaper Syndicate.) .. u DO IT NOW. It is very encouraging to think that ; is never too late to mend,’’ but when mding is postponed too long there is much damage done that there is nothing left but the repair. The best way, to avoid damage is to take care in the first place. If a child i staught to take care of his baby teeth from infancy, those teeth will do their work and give comfort, health and beauty. The teeth, the gums, the tongue and the cheeks of every child, should be brushed thoroughly twice each day. Every child should have its own brush and a can of good tooth powder or a tube of tooth paste. The brush must be kept very clean. When the teeth are to be washed, the brush should be wet in running water and the paste or powder placed on the brush. Then the chewing surface of the teth should be thoroughly brushed, booth above and below. Wet the brush again and brush thor oughly *the lingual or tongue side of the teeth | First, scrub them well with a circu lar movement, then place the brush at the gum margin on each tooth in turn and brush straight to the chewing sur face. paying partieuln r attention to cleansing the spaces between the teeth. Repeat this on the labiel, or outside, surface of the teeth, using plenty of water an dentifrice. After these movements have been completed, brush the inside of the cheeks and lips, then the gums and finally the tongue. Rtsce the mouth with clean water or a mild mouthwash, then wash the tooth brush and hang it up to dry until it is time for the next “Tooth Bath.” Don’t put two or more tooth brushes in one container. Hang up evrey brush by itself so that it will not be touched by any other. Little Rook. April 11.—The wisdom of the fraternal beneficiary organiza tions which have adopted the adequate level rate system is being demonstrated whenever a change is made necessary n the system being used by any society. The Arkansas Grand Lodge of the A. O. IT. W. adopted the adequate rate ten years ago and has long since passed through the troublous time that must always follow any increase in rates. When it was understood by all mem bra that to insure stability, it is neces scary that adequate rates be paid by the insured, the opposition has disap peared. There are jurisdictions, how ever. which have maintained al lthese years the old classified system and hav thereby greatly incresaed the mom l>ership. It has been demonstrated, however, that as the- membership grows older, the mortuary rate Increased and the assessment of fifty cents to one dollar and fifty cents per htousand is wholely inadequate to meet the requirements. This is the experience through which the Kansas Grand Lodge of the A. O. II. W. has been passing. At a recent meeting of the Grand Lodge, the classi fied plan was abandoned and the ade | PRICKLY ASH BITTERS Recommended for such disorders in the Liv er, Stomach and Bowels as Biliousness, Con stipation, Heartburn and for certain irregu larities of the Kidneys and Urinary organs.

This is necessarily causing a great reduction in the 40,000 member ship which has been the boast of the Kansas jurisdiction. Fraternalists pre dict that Kansas will probably lose more than half of its membership be fore the readjusted rates are accepted by the membership as a whole. There ar now unaffiliated with the Supreme Lodge the jurisdictions of Kansas, Missouri, Minnesota, Oklahoma Massachusetts and Washington, which have adopted the adequate rate system for all new business. Overturse are being made by most of these grand lodges for affiliation with the Supreme Lodge, which will meet In Des Moines, Iowa next October. The experience of all the jurisdic tions and fraternities has been that adequate rates are the only means whereby a fraternal benefit society, which is only a life insurance organi zation with fraternal features added, can be made a permanent and stable. The Grand Lodge of Arkansas, A. O. U. W. has paved the way for many other organizations, all of which are adopting the plan which has proven so successful in this state, whereby the membership has ben quadrupled in a few years. -o Subscribe for the Daily Picayune.
