The Charming Woman

is not necessarily one of perfect
form and features. Many a plain
woman who could never serve as
an artists model, possesses those
rare qualities that all the world
admires; neatness, clear eyes,
clean smooth skin and that
sprightliness of step and action
that accompany good health. A
physically weak woman is never
attractive, not even to herself.
Electric Bitters restore weak
women, give strong nerves,

CREENVILLE, OHIO, THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1907

in probing individual railroad
wrecks. The object is to ascer-
tain whether the block signal
system, which is theoretically
perfect, is practically protec-
ton to passengers, and whether
it's administration by the rail
roads has become so lax as to
make it a positive source of dan
ger. The railroad men, both of
ficials and minor employees, have
been so we'll trained in the art of
forgetting things that it is hard
to get any definite information
out of them even on the witness
stand. The investigation of the
Commission has so far dragged
excessively, but a statement has
already been issued to Congress
saying that automatic mechan-
ical devices for the protection of
railway traffic have been devel-
oped to a point where it seems
to the Commission they are we'll
worth government investigation,
with a view to forcing their a.
doption on the railroads. 1t is,
therefore, very likely that when
the present investigation is fin
ished the Commission will rec
ommend, and Congress will a.
dopt, some law forcing the adop-
tion of an efficient block signal
system, possibly the double block,
together with certain mechan-
ical safety appliances and will
make their use obligatory upon
the railroads on the same basis
that automatic couplings and
similar safety devices are now
demanded in the construction of
railway cars.
Orders have been issued by the
Secretary of the Interior to all
the land agents of the United
States calling attention to the
decisions which have been rem
dered in the cases of illegal~fen-
cling of grazing lands by the i'm
mense cattle interests of the west.
Hundreds of thousands Of acres
have been illegally fenced, keep
ing the smaller cattle men from
the use of range and it is now
ordered that the land agents
shall see to the removal of these
fences and if they are not re-
moved by the people who have
put them up, that they shall be
torn down and destroyed.

Sunday Visiting.
BY LEO.

uSIlSOIlle 6NllJ dllu dl CApCllol'S =
one, too. A country woman was
in our house lately, who told us
that they are much afflicted in
this way; that on the preceding
Sunday sixteen persons visited
their house, staying for dinner.
Since the advent of the trolley
the evil has grown so as to be a
real burden. People living in
towns and villages can now go to
the farm house without hiring a
horse and buggy and infict them
selves on country families. They
go to the farm house because, as
they think, the farmers have
plenty to eat, for which they pay
no ready cash, the food being
raised on the farm. And thus
the housewife is taxed to pre-
pare food for her visitors. Even
if the food did cost nothing(which
is not true) the labor in prepar-
ing it is burdensome. The far
mer's wife has to work hard on
every week day, and is entitled
to her Sunday rest. This she is
cheated of by the thoughtless
Sunday visitors-a real cruelty.
Home keepers in the cities are
not so afflicted. The town peo-
pie at times make Sunday after
noon calls, but they seldom take
their families to dine on Sunday
with a neighbor. 1t is different
in the country. People there go
to eat, and to eat plenteously,
and oftentimes to stay for two
square meals. We call this an
evil, an expensive and burden
some evil.
What is the remedy? There
are two effectual remedies. First,
do not go visiting on Sunday your
self. If you go not yourself on
that day other people will quit
coming to you. We lived on the
farm, short distance from Green
vile for several years, but had
no Sunday company, because it
was well known that we never
visited on Sunday. This one SIM
pie remedy will prove effective
in most neighborhoods.
Secondly, go to some place of
public worship every Sunday. If
it be we'll known that the farm
Ter, his wife and children go to
Shurch on Sunday, it will keep
Ahe Sunday visitors away from
That home on the Lords day. A
lady friend of ours adopted this
remedy and was relieved at once.
1T will do it every time.
! Country people within a rea-
sonable distance Of a church
should be more regular in attend
~ance. 1t will not only relieve
them of Sunday visitors but give
them something to think about.
Church service on Sunday, if it
be of the right sort, will prove
Of great benefit to life. The
songs, Scripture readings, the
prayers, the sermon will stimu-
late thinking, and linger in the
mind during the week days when
engaged in the everyday work.
Farmers are real losers by not
going to church on Sunday. They
may think that stylish city chur-
(ches' would hardly welcome till
ers of the soil. 1t is a mistake.
There is not a church in Green
vile that would not heartily well
come the country folk. There is
plenty of room for them in all
our city churches, and people and
preachers would be glad to see
the country folks flocking in.
Never mind the city style in
dressing. Average country folks

Cattle In Quarantine.

Charles P.

The inspector followed up the movements of the in fected drove that he held at Green For est in quarantine some weeks ago and found that every brute that came in contact with those cattle, or was even in close distance of them had become diseased with ticks. MT Fry is of the opinion that the trouble can all be stamped out in Carroll county within a month or so, if due diligence is em- ployed on the part of the people whose cattle are or may become infected with ticks.
