Shape by rheumatism.
MIRACULOUS CURE
After One Treatment BY Or.
larkins This Lady Walk
ed From Her Sick
Cha m Der.

A case that has caused wide spread
interest in DR.. e. F. Larlkins's new
system of cure, Neuropathy, is that of
Mrs. James Moore, of East Liverpool
This lady had been helpless cripple
from rheumatism for one year. Her
suffering was intense and her crippled
ped up at the table. Her body was
drawn and twisted out of all natural
position, and she mad long since given
up all hopes of being cured.
Finally DR.. Larldns located in the
city where Mrs. Moore lived, just as
he is now located in Canton; and in
short time, people all over the city
were talking of the cures that were
being performed daily by the new sys-
TEN. She sent for DR.. Larkins as She
could not be taken to the Office. He
gave her treatment lasting few min
utes, and to the surprise of herself and
others Immediately after treatment she
arose and walked all over the room.
The lady states that she was afraid
to go bed for fear that she would
awake in the morning and find her
cure all a dream; but not so. She
arose the next morning and went out
on the streets and told everybody she
met of what had been done for her.
she soon dispensed with those employ
ed to do her work and did her own
work for several months, until she be-
came afflicted with appendicitis, which
formed an abscess in the abdominal
cavity. DR.. Larkins was again employ
ed and this time he performed a sur
gical operation and removed several
pints of pus. The lady again made
rapid recovery, and now after four
years is still sending patients to Dr.
Larkins.
1t will be only short time until
large number of people in Stark
county will have been cured by DR..
Larlzins of nearly all kinds Of the most
difficult diseases, for there is no guess
work about this method of curing III
sease. OF course there are some cases
that cannot be cured by this or any
other treatment, but nearly every di-
sease treated by this method yields
quickly and permanently, and DR.. Lar
kins is free to state what cases he eau
not cure. His Office rooms are 20 and
ri City National Bank building, Can
ton.

porter, Mr.. Walton confirmed the re-
port of his resignation, which takes
effect Immediately. In reply to the
query as to what he intended to do he
stated he had nothing to give the pub
lie at this time.
Mr., Walton began his experience in
the telephone business some three
years ago, when he was elected secre
tary of the Colnmbiana County Tele-
phone company. After the completion
OF that plant he was assistant counsel
for the Federal Telephone company.
When the Stark County Telephone COM
pany was organized he was placed in
charge of its affairs.
Mr.. Walton has proved himself a
man of extraordinary ability. Canton
it is well known, has been the best en-
trenched Bell territory in Ohio. The
obstacles In Mr.. Walton's way were out
of the ordinary and the progress the
new company has made in this county
has been greatly due to his careful

In Darkness,

Akron, o., Nov. 26.-The village Of
Doylestown is having trouble Of It's
own. Several months ago the people
voted to issue bonds to build an cleo
trio light plant. Then there was an
Ell, ttric line on paper that would reach
Barberton, and through there give ac-
cess to Akron. The $4,000 authorized
would furnish a plant large enough to
supply power to the electric line.
The line went the way of most Of it1
kind and nothing has been done about
an electric plant. The people want
street cars and are willing to do most
anything to get them. They nave sub
mitted propositions to the. Northern
Ohio Traction company several times
but nothing has come of them.
The light plant has been held UT
awaiting q chance for a street cal
line. 1t 10 hoped to use 1t as an in,
ducement. -.
The village was lighted by gasoline
lights, but the other night some mis-
cresnts destroyed all of these. Nov

after the fashion Of their grandfathers
There is not the smallest artificial ligh,

Immediately.

campaign in the interest of the com
pany he represented. Putting a new
company on It's feet in a new locality
where another company Is firmly en-
trenched is no pleasant undertaking
and one that Is beset with all kinds of
difficulties. Obstacles never antici-
pated are encountered and 1t requires
ability of the highest order to bring
success out of chaos. Mr.. Walton has
performed wonders In Stark county.
He has placed his company so that
when 1t starts actively at work serving
subscribers 1t will commence upon al.
most an equal footing with its compet-
itor.
The strain has been telling upon Mr..
Walton and few months ago he mar
rowly escaped an attack of fever as
the result of his arduOus work. In
spite of the character of the work that
he was compelled to assume, however,
he proved himself at all times a thor
ough gentleman and both friends and
foes of the new telephone company
have the best of feeling for him.
Through all the difficulties and trials
incident upon the introduction of a
rival system he has never lost his head
nor his temper.
Mr.. Walton has performed wonders
by his work in Canton and there is but
little doubt but that his ability will be
substantially recognized.

MANY CAR LOADS
OF Brick Arc Shipped Daily
from Ca nton to Akron to Sup
ply Increased Dem and.

Canton brickmakers are doing a
good business in Akron, where the local
factories have been unable to supply
the demand. The Democrat of that
city says:
Such large orders have been placed
with Akron manufacturers of brick,
for material to be used in the con-
struction of the new Webster, Camp
& Lane factory, in South Akron, that
the local manufacturers are unable
to fill the orders and attend to others,
that were filed with them prior to the
time they received the Webster Or
ders.
To such an extent has this condition
grown, that Akron brickmakers are
even glad to see the shipments of
Canton brick, that arrive here daily
to be used ON the new shop. Many
car loads are taken to that place each
day over the Erie, and are used to sup
plement the supply furnished by the
Akron brick yards.
The inability of the Webster CON-
pany to secure structural iron, with
which to begin the frame OF the new
factory, is not important at the pres
ont time, for the walls may be finished
before the structural iron is necessary
