For the Swimmer.

These suggestions may be Of benefit
TO swimmers who have trouble with
water getting in the ears or wetting
the hair.
Saturate a bit of lambs wool with
either vaseline or olive oil for the ear.
Water never penetrates the oiled wool.
Take piece of chamois eight inches
square, fold in half. sew tape on ends
of each folded half. Place chamois at
nape of neck and tie firmly around
head before putting bathing cap on.
This prevents water from reaching
hair, as it will not soak through
chamOis.

Are Found In The Body, OF
A Woman

YOUNGSTOWN, o., July 27-Surgeons
who operated on Mrs. Lavina Dunn at
hospital here found a pair of sur
geon's scissors in the woman's abb
domen, which were five and one-half
inches in length.
Two operations performed by diff
ferent surgeons had been undergone
by Mrs. Dunn and she had carried the
scissors for either two or five years.
Mrs. Dunn will recover, surgeons
say.
Several days ago Mrs. Dunn was
stricken ill and several physicians
were called in, but were unable to
diagnose her ailment. Finally an
operation was decided upon. The
pair of scissors, found near the cae-
cum, caused her illness.

According To The Report OF
Mt. Vernon People
Who Pay A Visit To The
Delaware Institution
A Writ OF Habeas Corpus In
The MetCalf Case

Probate Judge Berry, Judge Frank
o. Levering, Juvenile Officer Patrick
Purcell and Mrs. Fred Wolfe and Mrs.
L. s. Kinnaird, members Of the Knox
county BOARD Of visitors, went to Della
ware Wednesday, taking with them
Stella Sells who was placed in the
Girls Industrial school,
The party made the trip partially
for the purpose of inspecting the in
stitution and were glad to find that
conditions were greatly changed over
a few months ago.
The present superintendent is Mr..
John McNamare, who has been in
charge of the home for three months
When the present superintendent as
sumed control he found 900 girls in
the home. One of the first things
he did was to summon all girls before
him who had been in the institution
over Que year and he was surprised
to learn that there were girls who
for the past six years had been alb
solutely forgotten. During that time
they had never been permitted to
speak to the superintendent and had
been forgotten by their friends and
relatives. The superintendent at
once directed the probation officers
in the various counties of the state to
provide homes for all girls who had
been In the institution over year
and as result there are only 300
girls in the school, whereas three
months ago there were over 600 hun
dred.
The new superintendent has pro-
vided a separate room and a separate
bed for each girl. Heretofore in some
instances three girls were compelled
to sleep in one bed.
On .he first of August, new super
intendent, a woman, assumes charge
of the home, but it is the desire OF
the Mt. Vernon people who visited
the home on Thursday, that Mr.. Nc
Namara be retained in some capacity
at the school as he appears to be just
the person suited for the supervision
and control of the inmates.

In referring to Manilla's institutions
and individuals this paper has always
been guided by the spirit Of conserv-

no town in this section offers more
prolific theme than Manila for de-
gree of prosperity and for the build,
ling up here of thriving industries.
Manila is coming to the front in an
| industrial and commercial way and
the unequalled wealth of the country
surrounding and with the assured rail
road improvements here, gives her a
basis for permanency not surpassed
by any of her sister cities and towns
In short Manila is now an attractive
place for the progressive and wide
awake manufacturer. 1t rests with ouI
business men and citizens to be up and
doing now that an era of industrial
progress and expansion of our city is
at our door-Manilla Times.

TELEGRAPH WIRE TOO.
For Benefit Of Pioneer Telephone
Company Patrons,

Every subscriber to the Pioneer
Telephone company's system has a
telegraph station in his home or of.
flee, according to the arrangement
that went into effect Friday by which
kilograms, night letters, or cable
grams may be telephoned to the
Western Union office, the charge for
which will be rendered in the month
ly telephone account.
This innovation in the transmission
of messages, resulting from the con
tractural relations existing between
the Bell Telephone system and the
Western Union Telegraph company,
is at present in vogue in this state,
only in Oklahoma City.
This system will be introduced
in every part of the state as rapidly
as arrangements can be made" said
f. f. Westelvelt, general commercial
superintendent of the Pioneer com
pany. This marks the beginning of a
movement on the part of the Bell
Telephone system to enable every
telephone subscriber to be I'm immed-
late touch with all other parts OF the
country, no matter where he may be
located. Take, for instance, the farm
er in the distant parts of the state,
who, with a telephone might have
occasion to telegraph to New York,
or to Chicago; under our arrange
ment all he has to do is to take down
his receiver and send his message TO
the nearest telegraph station. CON-
slider the time and trouble such an
arrangement will save him ~ soon as
We get it spread throughout the state.
And also, with his telephone STATEN,
will be on the receiving cad Of tele
graph line, for in turn the telegraph
company can telephone a message to
him at any hour of the day or night.
1T requires no explanation OF con-
dtions to point out the happy results
that will be enjoyed by all telephone
subscribers in the cities"
in addition to making this arrange
ment for the benefit of subscribers,
the telephone company has created
telegraph station in its public pay
station at the Pioneer building. Here
kilograms and cablegrams will be re-
ceived and transmitted with dispatch.
