Ceredo Woman'S Club.

A very interesting session of the
Ceredo Woman's club was held at
the pleasant home of Mrs. John
McRae Werth last Thursday even
ing. Several guests were present
including Mrs. 5. &. Lott of Kenova,
Mrs. @. A. Wright of Williamson,
Mrs. o. f. Bush and Mrs. 5. j.
Werth.
Miss Blanche Bush, chairman of
the art department, had charge of
program, which was the first one of
the Spanish school of Pamburg and
was of special interest from the
fact that it was the first paper by
the president, Mrs. @. o. Grady,
whose theme "Velasquez" was gwen
a most thorough and compre hensive
treatment. Before taking up the
subject of "Velasquez" she gave a
short history of the Spanish school,
showing the influence of the differ
rent countries.
tIn the seventeenth century the
school of Spanish Art was Sbso-
lutely dependent upon Italian art of
the same period, so much so that it
is difficult to conceive of "Velas-
ques" as we know him. Although
the art of the two countries has
always been nearly allied since time
immemorial the fact remains that
the greatest Spanish artists of
the 18th century, Velasques and
Murlllo-are more nearly related TO
the Dutch than to the Italian paint
ers. They were so great that they
can only be compared with the
greatest masters Of the century, and
these chanced to be the Dutch.
"No contemporary at tist displayed
such wonderful power OF variety IS
'Velssquez He attempted every
branch of painting and succeeded
IN all. In landscape "a field scarce
ly touched by Spanish artists, he
was equally great. His pictures are
remarkable for brilliant execution,
mastery handling, historic truth OF
figures, and above all for bis mar.
velous gift of colors.
"Ford says, il is impossible to es.

the whole world. His portraits

Charge O'Shaughnessy, who it
was feared had been assassin ated
in Mexico City, has turned up

been cut and Secretary of State
Bryan was unable to con- municate
with him for several hours, which
led to the belief that he had met
with foul play.
Up to this time there has been
no formal declaration of war de-
clared against Mexico by the
United States.

Parents are to blame for this con-
dltion. They do not think and leave
matches lying about In open boxes
and within reach of children. Remem-
Der this, and see that matchs are in

Mr.. Baldwin says that parents are
also to blame for fires due to defec-

out all fiues. He gives the advice
that common salt will put out a fire in

Thousand Made Homeless
by Four Tenement Fires
BY Associated Press

New York. Jan. 14.-Four fires in
rapid succession in widely separated
parts of the city caused intense suf-
fering to nearly thousand tenants
this morning while the temperature
hovered around zero. The first blaze,
in a Bowery lodging house. drove 100
shivering derelicts from that struc-
ture. 400 from a lodging house ad-
joining and 2S families from tene-
ments near by.
Half an hour later $50 men, women
and children were forced into the icy
streets from the Clendenning, an
apartment hotel in Harlem. Before
this blaze was extinguished is fami-
lies were routed from a burning five
story apartment house at Sixty first
street and Columbia avenue. While
the blaze was in progress fire attacked
q lower East Side tenement, driving
800 to the streets. In none of the
fires was anyone seriously injured.
Firemen suffered keenly from the cold.

make the body an easy prey for more
dangerous diseases. Ask those who
have had the grip regarding the pres
ent condition of their health and most
of them will answers "Since I had
the grip l have never been WELL" They
still have. profuse perspiration, the
persistent weakness of the limbs, the
disordered digestion, shortness of
breath and palpitation of the heart
caused by the thin -blooded condition
in which the grip almost always leaves
it's victim after the fever and influenza
have subsidized. They are furthermore,
at the mercy of relapses and of COM
plications, often very serious. In an

the blood is built up again is COM
plete health restored.
