board of health have returned from
Columbus, where they attended the
sessions of the state board of health.
The attendance at the meeting was
not as large as it should have been,
but the meeting was q strong one
and the topics and discussions were
well carried out At the final session
lengthy discussions on the subject of
tuberculosis in the Schools were
entered into by many prominent ply
sicians of the state.
Some time was devoted to a meet
ing of the Society for the Prevention
of tuberculosis This society was
organized several years ago, but as
it tried to exist independently as a
state body, it was short lived. At the
meeting reorganization was effect

THE BEST FAMILY NEWSPAPER.

An Ideal newspaper for the Ameri-
can home must be habitually clean
and high-minded, it must offer some
thing of interest TO every member of
the family, and it must present daily
the news of the whole world in au-
thentic and readable form. A large
contract, you will say. Well, the
newspaper that comes nearest to fill
ing it in the west is The Chicago Rec
ord-Herald. Its moral tone is always
high, its news service is unsurpassed,
and probably no other paper In the
United States has SO brilliant an ar
ray of special features suited to the
tastes and needs of every member of
the family. 1ft
Business and professional men have
long regarded The Record-Herald as
the best paper for their own reading
because of its unequaled faculty for
getting all the news of the world and
putting it into the briefest possible
form for the busy man. They also es-
TEEN it for the reliability of its fnan-
cial, agricultural and market reports.
Young men perhaps find its greatest
attraction in the excellent sporting
department, which fills fou' entire
pages on Sunday and a page or more
on other days. Wives and mothers
emphatically prefer The Reeord-H Her
aid ON account of its well-conducted
feminine departments-its daily re-
cipes and menus, it's daily fashion
news and hints for home dressmak-
ing, Nine. Qui Wives pungent and
sensible beauty talks, Marion Har-
lands famous page and the rest of
the good things that make up the
handsome Woman's section In the
Sunday paper. Children enjoy the
Little Memo and other Comic section
pictures, with tbs bright stories for
boys and girls every Sunday. And
all the family together can enjoy the
interesting travels mud special arti-
cles OF William e. Curtis, Mr.. Kiser's
humor and verse, the seriel stories
and many similar features outside the
news columns.
The Chicago Record Herald has
every right TO call itself the best all
around family newSpaDOr In the west.

the shaft. Two workmen were in the
mine. He rushed into the shaft and
found the men pinned under fallen
timbers. While he was prying at the
timbers to release the injured men a
heavy log fell, crushing his skull.
Residents of Salineville petitioned
the Carnegie commission for recog-
milton for SINNERS act The medal
and the pension of $40 month grant
ed to the family was the result.
Since the death of her husband,
Mrs. Skinner has been forced to sup
port herself and children nv Whateyer
work she could find to do. She has
taken in washings, worked in families
and in the evenings has made fancy
work which she sold for small sums
to the townspeople. 7ots

Why We Are Stronger.

The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers of health and strength;
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles of the men stand out like
cords.
AS mater of fact we have ath-
letes and strong men-men fed on
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Scotch Oats-that would win
in any contest with the old Roman or
Greek champions
It's matter of food. The finest food
for making strength of bone, muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker
Scotch Oats is the best because it is
pure, no husks or stems or black
specks. Farmers wives are finding
that by feeding the farm hands plenti-
fully on Quaker Scotch Oats they get
the best results in work and economy.
If you live in hot climate buy Quaker
Scotch Oats in Theoretically sealed
tins. 1t keeps sweet and fresh.
