MARMAToN TOWNSHIP.

Mr.. EDIToR:-
Notwithstanding the inclemency OF
the weather, the New Years supper at
the Norton school house was we'll at
tended and was a decided success. By
seven o'clock the house was filled with
the people of the neighborhood.
The house was called to order by Mr..
McGlashen, and Mr.. Norton was unan-
imously elected chairman for the even.
ing. The exercises were music by the
choir, Mr.. McGlashen leader and violin
list, Miss Lily Wisner, organist, assisted
by Mr.. Clothier. Mr.. Normington, Mr..
W. Gorrell, Mrs. McGlashen, Miss Belle
Gorrell and Miss Normington, as sing
ers; a short address by the chairman,
which was interesting and to the point !;
music by the choir; reading by Miss
Gorrell, entitled "My New Year" which
was very appropriate for the occasion a
duet by Mr.. McGlashen and Miss Wis
ner, violin and organ ; reading by Miss
Wisner, "Whistling in Heaven; music
by the choir, followed by defamation,
"Curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight" by
Miss Alice Newly violin sola, by Mr..
McGlashen, which was simply grand;
speech by Thomas Guillim that was
good music by the choir; short but
comprehensive address by DR.. Strong;
then came the best of all-supper.
We are proud to say that it was as
good a supper as ever was spread in Allen
county. Some of the ladies had met
during the afternoon and had arranged
the house and spread the table. Every
one brought we'll filled basket which |
was received by appointed walters who
arranged their contents upon the table
that extended the entire length of the
room. There was a great variety Of
rich and elegant cakes, and from the way
in which they disappeared one would
think they were well appreciated, besides
every other kind of eatables that could
be thought of by experienced house
wives.
About the best thing for the little
folks was large waiter twice-full Of
tempting pop corn balls, donated by
Miss Gorrell. Among the other luxuries
ANDY was found which the children
seized but upon trying to eat
hem discovered that they were only
ticks of wood covered with icing. The
upper was universally enjoyed, espec.
ally the coffee, as some of the young
gentlemen were known to drink from
our to five cups which reflected great
:redit upon Mrs. Fehleison, she having
made it.
After about an hours intermissiou the
louse was called to order and the closing
'iece, "Shall We Meet Beyond the
siver," was sung by the choir, after
which the people went home, well- !

\ CURE FOR DEUNErNNE-S.-A Won

liquor He was led TO regard iutcmpcr-
ancc as q disease by careful studies in
connection with the matter. in the pur,u-
ancc of which he found that while 1t takes
four hours for ordinary food TO be digcsted
and passed 10 the nerve cells from which
the brain is fed, alcohol goes straight To
the nerve cells IN three minutes. This
shows that alcohol Is not diScstcd and Is

which. going to the outside of the nerve
cells. stimulates them unnaurally. Once
stimulated thus the nerve cells call for
larger and larger doses, and 50 the dis
ease grows. DR.. D Unger, remedy Is
CmcioDq rajfo, or red Peruvian bark.
There are eighty yarietie, OF Pc
ruvian bark. the kind the doctor uses be-
ing what druggists call the quill bark
1t comes from the small limbs Of the
red variety. He takes a posnd of this,
powders it and soaks /; in pint Of
diluted alcohol. Then It Is strained and
cyaporatcd down 20 half pint. The
dose is a teaspoonful every three hours.
The tongue of the patient is occasionally
moistcncd between the doses the first and
second DAYS. The medicine acts ike
quininc. and the patient can tell by a
headache if he is getting too much. On
the third day the dose Is reduced to "a
half spoonful, then TO a quarter. and by
degrees down to a few drops. \ cure Is
effected in from five to thirty days. the
average time being seven days The
philosophy of the cure is that the Peruvian
bark stimulates and builds up the nerve
cells until they begin to receive nutrition
in the natural way DR.. DUngcr made
his discovery in Maryland twelve years
ago. He had It patient who was down
with intermittent fever. The man was
drunkard, and the case was such a severe
one that the doctor tried red Peruvian
bark instead of quininc. which is The yell
low bark. TO his surprise the man was
not only cured of his fcyer, but lost all
his appetite for alcoholic stimulant.
