WHEN YOUR LAID UP

2. There are a lot Of people in this
town who cannot afford to be sick.
Perhaps none of you feel that you
can, but certainly some of you can't,
for as soon as you are sick, your
wages stop and worry and debts be-
gin to pile up. . The sensible thing for
you to do, as soon as you feel run
down and worn out, no matter what
the cause, is to take something just
as quick as you can to build up
strength and health. Make yourself
more comfortable and provide against
serious sickness.
- We don't believe there, is any other
medicine made that will do as much
towards saving your health and thus
helping you save your money as Rex
all Olive Oil Emulsion. It is medi-
cine that gets right at the trouble
and relieves it by toning the nerves,
ef1riching the blood, and giving new
strength and health to the whole body.
It doesn't do this by means of alco-
tol or habit-forming drugs, because it
contains none. Its strength and health
giving power is due to pure Olive Oil
and the .Hypophosphites long en-
dorsed by successful physicians, the
one for it's food value, the other for
it's tonic value. Here, for the first
time, they are combined, and the re-
suit is real nerve, blood and body
building medicine real strength
ener that we are proud to tell you
about. You don't need to hesitate in
using it, because if it doesn't do al

JAMES STRETSBERRY

From the Wood County Herald OF
Weston we copy the following con-
cerning the decease of James Strets-
berry, the father of our fellow towns
man, John Stretsberry:
"Mr. Stretsberry, Sr., who was at
the time of his death a prominent
agriculturist and fruit grower in
Wood county, was born in Guernsey
county, March 18th, 1880, and died
February 18th, 1914, aged 83 years
and II months. He enlisted in the
Union army at the outbreak of the
Civil war and served until 1868 when
he was severely wounded and was
discharged from the hospital. He
was engaged in early life in manu-
featuring and contract work but in
1879 purchased the home in Wood
county where he resided till the time
of his death. t7
"Four sons and one daughter with
the wife and mother survive him. The
funeral services were held from the
Methodist church at Weston. of which
Mr.. Stretsberry was member, We'd
nesday, February 18th, conducted by
his former pastor, Rev. w. N. Shank
of Toledo, Ohio"

GAINED BY HIS FRIENDS.

Last Sunday Allen Shade cele-
brated his seventy-third birthday an
niversary and some of his comrades
of Losure Post discovered that fact.
They Immediately put their heads to-
gether and decided that the event
should not be passed over without
some demonstration on their part.
Mr.. Shade had often assisted in help
ing to celebrate the birthdays of 9TH
er comrades and he has let no op-
portunity pass to show his good will
and perform acts of. comradeship; so
the plan was laid to storm and take
his home on Monday evening and ad-
minister the Gaming that was deemed
appropriate in his case. But there
were others to be reckoned with; the
ladies' of the W. R. C. discovered the
conspiracy and insisted that the ex-
pedition should have a we'll stocked
commissary department which with
due regard to Mrs. Shade they would
supply The ladies fulfilled their part
of the program to perfection. Mr.. and
Mrs. Shade surrendered to superior
forces and twenty-eight comrades
with fourteen members Of the w. R.
c. took possession of the home. A
bountiful supper was served by the
ladies after which F. E. Kenyon, who
had been mustered in for this special
service, in behalf of the comrades of
Mr.. Shade, presented him. with a
beautifully engraved gold headed
rosewood cane.
Mr.. Shade responded in words that
expressed his sincere appreciation and
thanks. Everybody who was present
enjoyed the occasion and the old
"Boys in Blue" were happy over the
complete success of their expedition
and thankful to the Relief Corps for
the splendid commissary furnished.

JULIA C. ALDRICH.
PRINCESS THEATRE

For beauty, charm and refinement
of idea it would be nard to surpass
George Kleine's photo drama produc
ton of the "Last' Days of Pompeii"
adapted from Lord Bulwer Lytton's
famous novel. Produced in Italy,
these pictures bear the mastery ar
tistic stamp that characterizes the
foreign productions and are revela-
tions in Photographic beauty and skill.
Mr.. Kleine has practically avoided the
sensationally melodramatic note and
has emphasized the idyllyic qualities.
The pathetic and hopeless love story
of the blind flower girl Nydia, is new
ertheless related with the utmost fidel-
ity and holds the rapt attention of
the spectator from beginning to end.
Mr.. Kleine has established a national
reputation with his wonderful photo
drama productions of "Quo Vadis"
and "The Last Days of Pompeii"
though of slightly les magnitude, will
add largely to his reputation as the
foremost photo drama. producer of
this contineit @The Last Days of
Pompeii'' will be the attraction at the
Princess Theatre. Wednesday, March

At the regular council meeting last

had caused the sidewalks of about 80
different properties to be cleaned;
the charge made was 25c for each
walk; the council authorized, the clerk
to certify the amounts charged
against property for this purpose to
the county officials to be charged
against the property on the tax dup
licate.l The council further decided
that property owners who desire to

fore the certifcation to the county
officials is made. The following ap-
pointments were made and confirmed:
Deputy Marshals, Cy Overmyer, Chas.
Bruning, and George Geer; Police
Judge, L. H. Deyo. The marshal was
instructed to notify all rool rooms to
observe strictly the closing ordinance,
which provides for the closing of pool

The fact that there is less dyspep-
