Stark County DemOCrat-Under the
head of County Commissioners meet
and allow bills in your valuable pager
of May u, | find the allowance for
compensation of Infrmary Directors
for the month of April as follows: T.
J. Miller, $1O74O; C. E. Jarvis. $3.50;
w. X. EIlet, $69.70. I am informed
that legally each director is entitled
to $3.50 per day for all time devoted
to their duties as Infirmary Director.
Allowing that T. j. Miller was occu-
pied during every week day in the
month of April his salary would
amount to $65.0O, leaving $42.4O for
something else, c. E. Jarvis, who
likes the job of Infrmary Director so
well that he is running for his third
term has drawn pay for every week
day also, and in addition $14S0 for
something else.
w K Ellet has also drawn pay
every day in the month of April and
$4.7O over.
Can you not secure an itemized aC-
count of these three bills and publish
the same? The public should know
what their servants do.

which had been assessed for his al.
legged discourtesy toward the court
was yesterday ordered released by
Judge Harter after arguments had
been heard in a habeas corpus pro.
ceeding The writ was asked for by
Attorney William Quinn, representing
Bry, and issued on the grounds that
the court had no legal right to assess
a fine greater than 500 and that Bry
was not within the jurisdiction of the
court at the time that the alleged con,
empt was committed. Judge Harter
scored Bry for his manner toward the
justice but under the statute ordered
him released from custody.

A KIND HUSBAND.
Should He Never, Ladies', Oppose the
Wishes of His wifef i.

0hOul0 he Never LADIES, oppose the
Wishes of His Wifef
Is the kind husband failure?
That depends. A husband can scarce
~ show his wife too much kindness.
But sometimes real kindness may be
shown In opposing her wishes. If the
husband has any mind of his own he
must use it. He need not be mean in
his opposition nor arrogant nor tyran-
meal. He should be reasonable at all
times and disposed to highly regard
the expressed wishes Of his wife even
though these wishes may seem to him
to be whimsical or capricious. But
Kindness does not require subservi-
ency or entire and instant surrender
Of opinion. Indeed, it is easy to see
how such surrender might lead wife
to despise her husband. He who fetches
and carries like poodle is likely to be
considered poodle.
Women admire strength in a man.
This strength need not necessarily
be physical. though that is desirable.
Women love strength of character in a
man. And
Is 1t not so, ladies7 When woman
coaxes a strong man to her point of
view by strenuous endeavor, does she
not regard it as merit to have influ-
enced this big, strong being? If she
gains her own way at once and at all
times she has achieved nothing, and
there is no rejoicing in her heart.

LOGICAL ECZEMA CURE
ENDORSED BY PHYSICIANS

After treating eczema for years as
q practically incurable blood disease,
the medical world is greatly interested
In the discovery that it is not a blood
disease at all, but 1t due to parasite
In the skin itself. This parasite is
easily destroyed by the external ap-
pication of compound of oil of win
tergreen, thymol. glycerine, etc. which
will quickly kill all eczema germs,
while soothing and refreshing the
skin.
r. A. Folkerts, of Duluth, Mimi,
tells of the success with d. D. D. Pre-
scription in treating patients:
There was a man here suffering
from Eczema for the last fourteen
years, and applied the d. d. D. treat
ment. l also applied it to a man of
West Duluth, Mimi, who has been
suffering with Rheumatism for four
teen years, and Eczema in his feet,
and the second treatment in both
cases cleared the skin almost abso-
lutely. / hope that everyone in the
world will be able to learn of your
grand remedy. The first application
Is only balm, and its soothing effect
II beyond expression. ] shall never
be without it, and shall use it among
my patients altogether"
No matter how terribly you suffer
from eczema, salt rheum, ringworm,
etc. you will feel instantly soother
and the itch allayed at once when a
few drops of this oil of wintergreen
compound is applied. The cures all
seem to be permanent.

The surroundings of the White House
were as incomplete as the mansion.

through the elderbushes of a morass.

made of stone chips left from building

that most citizens preferred the mud

Mrs. Washington's successor was, by
her own words, "a mortal enemy to
anything but a cheerful countenance
and a merry heart This was not
the easy creed of an untested DISPOSE
ton, for Abigail Adams, the first mis-
tress of the White House, had been
through the stern training Of poverty
and responsibility, pestilence and war
fare. and had proved herself firmly
patriotic and self reliant. as well as
unfailingly cheerful. If she had been
less tied down, both by circumstances
and by the tradition of a woman's linn
itation, she might have left remark
able record, for in her letters there
shows an intellectual vigor that found
no other outlet. AS it Is, she stands
dimly outlined as heroic figure. with
spirit ever equal to the occasion"
The seat Of government was moved
to Washington in June, 1900. and the
president took possession Of the White
House, which had been built at an ex-
pense of 100000. What life in this
new mansion involved is best told in
one of Mrs. Adams letters to her
daughter:
THE house is upon a grand and ST.
perb scale, requiring about 80 servants
to attend and keep the apartments in
proper order, and perform the ordinary
business of the house and stables; an
establishment very well proportioned
to the presidents salary. The light
ing of the apartments, from the kitchen
to parlors and chambers, is a tax in
deed, and the fires we are obliged to
keep to secure us from daily agues is
another very cheering comfort. To as
sist us in this great castle and render
less attendance necessary, bells are
wholly wanting. not one single one be-
ing hung through the whole house, and
