left for the East last night and will

The outbreak in the morning sheet,
over its headlines, signed by c. F..
Cherrington. was intended by that
gentleman to give the lie to The Sem
tinefs report of that meeting. It
was an nnderhand. false and un-
called-for statement.
The morning paper did not have
the decency or manhood about it to
give. in it's account OF the meeting
on Saturday morning, what was real
ly done by the board of directors on
Friday night concerning the charter
matter. Every statement made by
The Daily Sentinel in it's account of
that meeting was true. There was
not the least exaggeration. The min
utes of the meeting Will prove the
of The Sentinels state
ments. Every member OF the board
who was present that night. except
Mr.. Cherrington, for whose statement
we cannot vouch, will testify that
The Sentineis account of the action
taken at that meeting was true.
There is good reason to believe
that Charles II. Cherrington instruct
ed Secretary Mahoney in giving a re-
port Of the meeting to the morning
paper TO see that the charter con-
vention matter was put in in a mild
form. So mildly did the sheet give
The daily sentinel., 1909-03-01

an account of that action that it
gave no account at all, but wilfully
misstated the facts in the case
G. Il. CherringtOn, himself. at that
meeting. made a statement to the ef-
feet that he thought that the Cham
ber of Commerce had gone far enough
in the matter and had no right to
tell the people how to vote. Yet this
gentleman, very cute at the game of
double-crossing, attempts to make the
people believe that the Chamber of
Commerce is still pushing the fight
in the interest of the charter.
The Sentinel is not in the habit of
making false statements concerning
meetings or any other events trans
piring in the city, and the efforts
of c. r. Cherrington TO lead people
to think to the contrary will not go
unchallenged.
1t is easy for Mr. Cherrington to
attempt to carry water on both shoul-
ders. II is an old game of his. A
good many people know of his action
concerning Mr.. Aupperle's resigna-
tion some months ago as secretary OF

An example of unreasoning laws on
this subject as absurd as the unrea-

A friend of mine was in the midst
when her daughter was taken i'll with
German measles
Practically all the furniture had gone
to the new house when the mother
made the discovery that she could not
hire a carriage to take the sick girl
across Neither town would allow her
to hire a carriage within it's limits in
which to take the girl, although she
would have gladly paid for the fumiga-
ton, and yet neither town had an am
bulance in which she could be taken.
My friend was finally reduced to
staying with the girl in single room,
, with piano. bed and an oil stove for
furniture, until she was well enough to
walk across.
The best way to avoid disease is to
keep in good condition, take ordinary
precautions and think as little about it

The best way to catch a disease is
to fear it extravagantly.'
The public excitement on the germ

of the devil and his raid on the human
race.
Il am coming with a pestilence and
kill 10000 men," he said.

Many women find that soap irritates
the skin. In such case try using al
mond meal instead of SOAP
Battle the face with warm water,
moisten the hands, take up little

Almond meal is very cleansing, but,
being slightly oily, it does not dry up
the skin.

another thing to get wet and sit IN

likely indeed to occur in consequence.
Going to and from school in bad
