| ers fathoms the deepest depths ol
legal learning and has won fol
himself the distinction ofbeing one
of the great constitutional lawyers
In Ohio. l know two other young
) lawyers who have pretty good suc-
cess but modesty forbids me to
name either of them. Among the
doctors, Campbell, Pullen and
Smith are noted as surgeons and
Dollison, Wright, Mansfield and
Blosser us physicians while Dr.

quiet evening zephyr can prescribe
for you or amputate n finger and
make the change therefor before
you are actually aware of his pres.

once whether you are afflicted with
strabismus and if so he exact cure
for 1t. He knows more about the
human eye than l ever dreamed

Newspaper men, we have them
too and good ones. When we read

and so fittingly qualified for their
positions that no words of mine
can do them justice. The churches
Of FIR. Powers, and Reverends Ru-
disill, Spoehr, Winters, Wright and
Moore are always crowded to over
flowing, and If you want to hear
