War Romance Pleased.

The attempt of a Boston swell" to
make hero of himself, as portrayed
by Morney Athey kept the audience in
commissions Of laughter at the New
Crystal last evening. when the Betty
Barrows players presented "A Ro-
nance of '61." While devoid of fight
ing scenes and the pomp and circum-
stance OF war, there was distinct
wartime atmosphere throughout the
play which was well staged and hand
somely costumed. Miss Barrows was
pleasingly cast, and Mr.. Kelley ce-
mented his friendship with Moscow
playgoers in his pleasing role. The
other members of the cast were quite
good.

LONDON, Aug. 30-If King George
does not die popular monarch 1t Will
not be for lack of honest effort to win
the good will OF his subjects.
Handicapped by an unkingly
physique and a personality utterly de-
void OF magnetism, his majesty fully
realizes the difficulties OF the task he
has marked out for himself. When he
ascended the throne he was received
with indifference. by some almost with
aversion. In his determination to over
come this, ii possible George has con-
yerted himself into a sort OF modern
HarOun al -Raschid.
During the 27 months of his reign
he has come into closer touch with the
British public than any Of his pre-
decessors. To some extent, at least, he
has already brought down a change of
feeling. At any rate he has convinced
the vast majority OF his subjects that
he is sincerely interested in their vel
fare.
Studies Social Conditions.
George v. ia the first British king to
undertake systematic STUDY at Ilrst
hand of the social and industrial prob
lens OF his country. OF course, kings,
queens and princes have often made
perfunctory visits to mines, work
shops schools, ETC., but George has
gone in for practical sociology.
Also he has endeavored to mingle
more intimately with his subjects at
their play. He attends race meetings
whenever he feels he really ought to.
He goes to cricket matches, football
games, polo, tennis, hockey, rowing
and swimming events. This summer
he made state visit to Henley for the
famous regatta, and he aroused genu-
inc enthusiasm among British cricket
dams by attending the all important
matches between the English, Aus
tralian and South African sevens

THE COUNTY TO Be
DEBT FREE IN 1916
However, the Taxes May Be
Raised to Build Macad-
am Roads.

Although Wayne County will be free
from debt in 1916 when the last OF the
refunding bonds are paid, the taxes
in the county in all probability will be
slightly increased as a result of the
building of the new macadam roads. At
the present time contracts for the Lib
been let and it is necessary to increase
the taxes six cents on the hundred dol
lars in order to make the improve
ments. This will effect Wayne Town
ship, the city of Richmond and Spring
Grove, it is believed. Although it is i'm
possible to estimate the total amount
of increase in taxes with the improve
ment of the National road east, the
Boston Pike and North Twelfth street,
it is very probable the tax increase
will reach twelve or fifteen cents on
the hundred dollars.
This year $25, 900 of the court house
bonds will be taken up and next year
the same amount will be paid out
which pays for all the bonds issued
for building the court house. There
was total of 1876, 900 issued to con-
struct the building. Including the year
| 1912 and each successive year until
1916 the treasurer will pay out 100000
on the refunding bonds which We're is
sued in 1898. These bonds We're issued
to get the debts of the county concen-
trated. The original issue was $4,000.
The contracts for the building of
Liberty Pike, $4,000 and Easthaven
Ave, $1S,500 were let July l. The
contract for the Spring Grove road
will be let August II. The approximate
cost still will be $31, 900

How to Keep Cool.

Don't hurry and don't worry.
Touch no alcohol. Use less tobacco
than usual Neither is wise in heat.
Don't do anything you can postpone.
The peril of the battlefield is about
Walk slowly in the sun. If you have
to work in it keep green leaves in your
hat They may save a stroke.
A woman forced to walk in the sun
is wise if she carries an umbrella or q
sunshade. Women are less liable to a
stroke and more liable to heat exhaus'
ton. The latter scares less at the
time. 1t means as much in the end.
Put off washing. ironing, baking and
every work that can be postponed
that brings heat If called to such
work, eat slowly and lightly, but Of
ten, and help perspiration by taking
much water, either hot in weak tea or
just plain, good water, not too cold.
Loosen all clothing, go to bed early
sleep in the open If you can, best OF
all on the roof. A back yard and ham
mock are better than room.
Watch all food. Touch nothing kept
long. Be vigilant over the milk chill
dren use.
And. above all things, be cheerful.

POISONING ONES SELF.

Early in the morning one day this
summer l walked from my home down
town. 1t is two miles.
Most of the people in the hundreds
of houses along the street were asleep.
and l noted particularly how few of
the windows We're wide open. How
many did 1 count. do you suppose?
Just fourteen!
To be sure, l was not able to see
all the windows of the sleeping apart
ments, and a comparatively few of the
houses had sleeping porches.
Many of these sleepers We're poison
ing themselves in their own poison.
How Is that?
Why, you know, of course, the body
creates poisons and that these poisons
are carried by the blood to the lungs,
whence they are expelled in the air
that is breathed out In order to do
their benefcent work the lungs must
inhale pure air.
When the air is breathed out by the
lungs it is loaded with impurities
with poison. If the lungs are not sup
piled with pure air they breathe over
again the poisoned air. and thus the
body is filled with poison.
You arise in the morning and your
face is swollen. You have been told
that 1t is because you have slept too
long, which is not true. Your face is

You have been brea thing impure air.
Literally you have been poisoned by
your own poison-the poison manufac-
tured in your body.
OF course when you get out into the
fresh air you gradually rid yourself of
the poison. But think of the danger
you run! What diseases may get a
foothold in your system. locating in
some weak spot?
And yet there are thousands of per-

If possible, sleep out of doors.

Three Mystic Words.

A young woman Of Indianapolis,

attention. and one of her admirers
from another city was a liberal donor
of flowers and sweets, and when pos.
sible he came TO town to visit her.
One day he sent her 4 FIVE pound box
of candy, a dozen American Beauty
roses and a telegram announcing that
he would be in the city the next Sun
day 10 spend the day with her. In
addition TO this he sent the following
message: international code-Isle OF

She had no idea what the three
mystic words might signify, and she
got out all the code books she could
find and finally went TO the telegraph
office to see if that department had
the combination OF words and the
meaning. The telegraph company
could give her no assistance. She
thought the words over and over
again and began to say them aloud.

Heart toHeart
Talks.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
TO A YOUNG GIRL.

My dear girl:
Do you realize how easily you may
make a cardinal mistake in your ac-
ceptance of future husband?
l am led to saying this because of
my recent witness Of the treatment of
a young friend Of mine by coterie Of
girls.
The young man is from the country.
His features are somewhat homely,
but he has very strong face. 1t
shows the stamp of character. Natur-
ally he is somewhat self conscious and
a little awkward because he is unused
to city ways.
Nevertheless
The boy is as clean as a hounds
tooth. He has moral fiber He IS clean
hearted. And although he may appear
somewhat at a disadvantage by the
side of certain youths who are glib of
speech and sure Of their department.
he is really worth a dozen Of them.
It made my blood boil to note the
treatment of this fine young fellow by
the girls who not only discarded him,
but secretly made fun Of him.
They know not what they do.
They do not realize the stuff of which
this young fellow is made. They do
not realize his worth and cannot see
that in the long run he is likely to far
outshine the easy hammered youth who
by contrast seem to be his superiors
Look you, grille.
That's the mistake many a girl has
made who judges by outside appear
ances and because Of her limited
knowledge Of human nature. 1t is the
mistake made by the girl who picks
The youth of snowy manners. over
looking the qualities that endure.
My young friend is not of the daz-
cling sort who shines socially, but Is of
the kind that will come out in the
wash endure the wear and tear of
daily life.
If such young fellow comes counting
you be careful how you turn him down
Look for moral fiber.
That is the main constituent in the
makeup of real man. Easy manners
and apparent refinement may cover UP
a multitude of weaknesses. while your
poor and awkward boy may be a dia-
mond in the rough.
What you want in a husband is q
man.
Do not judge by exteriors.
Look for worth.
