A TABLE DELIcAcY.
olive oil Is One of the Most Pleasant
tothe Epicure.

Do you realize how delightful olive
oil is to eat? Undoubtedly you do
as an ingredient Of a salad dressing.
But did you ever try it by itself? Did
you ever drink it2 Those who have
konw how pleasant is a glass with
meals. Begin with a wine glass full
at first.
Many who do not fully realize how
pleasant to the taste the oil Of the
olive is may charge their lack Of ap-
probation to the fact that they proba-
bly, never tasted good olive oil. Much
Of the ordinary oil on the market is
adulterated or made from inferior or
spoiled olives. If they will get Beri
Olive OIL whichis guaranteed not only
absolutely pure, but Of the highest
quality they will experience new

THE LINE SINCE BOOZE

EAST LIVERPOOL, Ohio, Aug. 20.
Five weeks experience in a "dry''
town has succeeded in bringing out
the good points of a question that has
been much debated in this section dur
ing the past three months. Bank cash
iers announce that worklngmen are
opening new accounts, depositing any
where from $40 to $3.50 as the first de.
post. Many mothers and wives are
feeling happier because they are al.
ways in possession of a little cash, an
experience that is quite new to many.
The fact that the township trustees
are having but few requests for aid
shows that the poorer classes instead
of spending their money in saloons are
giving their earnings to their family.
There is a noticeable falling off in the
travel to Toronto and steubenville
from this city and Wellsyllle on the
Cleveland and Pittsburg railroads

"Streetwalkers" infest the resi-

right In the midst of respectable
homes.
BY the recent regulations they
have not been driven out of the

Another crusade by the police and
they may be driven farther out and

they now exist In the down town
districts. are considerably improved
over what they were before Rem
Rice was made chief of police. Yet
there Is room for more improve

That more restrictions must be
placed upon the class Of people who
have been driven next door to the
homes Is general admitted by those
who are aware of conditions. OF

FINISH GREAT CANAL

The exact figures for July are
1,126,74S. Officials Of the admin
istration feel well satisfied with the
progress made. Notwithstanding the
fact that during the three years
Uncle Sam has had charge of the
work only So per cent of the total
required excavation has been done.
At the time the lock canal pro.
ject was adopted the total excava.
ton necessary was estimated at
111,2S0,000 cubic yards. The
amount excavated up to Aug. / of
this year was 9.3S0,000. This leaves
more than 100,000,000 cubic yards
yet to be removed. At the same
rate this would mean that it will
take until 1919 to complete the
canal.
This delay Is not anticipated.
