that coffee is now supplied almost ex-

from Java and the sugar beet countries
of Europe, is now chiefly supplied by
Cuba, the Philippines and the domes-

constantly diminishing importations as

EueENIcs AND MARRIAGE

There seem to be no particular rea-
sons why the opinions of DR.. Evange-
line w. Young, Of Boston, should be
telegraphed all over the country mere
ly because she is teaching eugenics
and implores young people not to fall
in love at first sight. Falling in love
at first sight, like measles or glanders
or lying, is one of the things that we
cannot help. AS they say on the bills
of lading 1t is an act of God. Falling in
love at first sight and dying are the
two superhuman events of our life, and
because they are superhuman they
are beyond our control.
Now we don't want to be hard on
Evangeline. She means well, al
though how she can lecture on eugen-
les without blushing it is hard to say.
1t must be the climate. And with such
name, too. But when she says that
matrimonial disillusionment always
follows love at first sight she is talk
ing the pure, unadulterated rubbish.
Disillusionment always follows matri-
mony, Evangeline, no matter whether
love was at first sight or at twentieth.
Every oen knows that, although our
courage in saying so is exceptional.
line, is often caused by some trifle OF
dress or manner. Right you are. New
er was profounder truth stated in sim
pier language. Boston scores once
more through her gifted and eugenic
daughter. And gold mines are usually
| discovered through some trifie Of sur
| face formation. All great events
| wars, revolutions, matrimony and all
| other crimes, disasters and catclysms
| originate from trifiing causes. Ma
| ture always begins with something
very small when she is planning some-
thing very great, and Eyangeline would
hardly believe how tiny we ourselves
were at birth. There is nothing on
earth of such colossal size as a trifie,
, nothing so full Of profound purport as
J an insignificance. The man who al
lows himself to be attracted by some
trifie of dress or manner" has more in
tuitive science in his little finger than
all the eugenics put together have in
their whole Cosmos.
Into the lecturers recommendation
of marriage for money and social po-
sition we need not enter. We might
have expected it. Maybe we are too
old and fossilized to keep abreast of
the gay and giddy celebration which
calls itself modern thought, but we
were, and are. under the impression
that the man or woman who marries
for anything but love is guilty of SEX

TRI(l
OF Thieves Travel In Auto In
Morrow Co.
Beat StOrekGeperS And Make
A Get Away
(Mt. Gilead Register)

With the boldness of experienced
highway men, three strangers travel
ed over the eastern part of Morrow
county last Thursday and seemed to
have done a most profitable business
by robbing merchants of cold cash with
such cleverness that they were able to
make a getaway while the victims
stood breathless in amazement as they
saw the sheckles from their money
drawers pocketed and carried off.
From the Clay Snyder store at Will
Transport 500 were taken and from the
store of Shipley & Maxwell, at Johns
vile a similar amount vanished. The
thefts were committed without any
gun play or by following the customs
of desperadoes. Three strange men
driving a Ford automobile would run
the machine up to the store and stop
it, but let the engine continue to oper-
ate. One member of the party, man
who was unusually well developed
physically and who to all appearances
was able to fight if necessary, would
leave the car and enter the store os-
tensibly to make in legitimate way
purchase. He asked for a handker-
! chief, ten cent one. With many
! apologies, after making a selection, he
claimed he had no small change and
| handed to the merchant twenty dol

| When the $3.50 in change was handed
to the customer he would, with pre-
tended astonishment, chance to find a
quarter in one of his pockets. With
more apologies, this time at having al
ready caused the dealer so much trou-
BILE in making change, he volunteered
to take back the twenty dollar bill, re-
fund the $3.50 change, and pay for the
handkerchief with the quarter. This
was agreeable to the merchant. AS
the stranger reached into his pocket as
if to draw the $780, which he had al
ready safely deposited there, the deal.

carry out the bargain. But the Gus

door taking with him his very own

automobile and the trio went whiskins

Report Of Visiting Nurse
MadeTO Associated Charities
Another Society To Employ
The Nurse In Future

A meeting of the Associated Cnarl-
ties was held Wednesday evening at |
the Gay street M. e. church to hear |
the final report of the visiting nurse,
Miss Bowling.
The Associated Charities has de-
cided to dispense with the services of
Miss Bowling, but she has been en-
ployed for another month by certain
Mt. Vernon people, on account of the
excellent work which she has done
in the past. It is understood that a
new society is to be organized in Mt.
Vernon very soon and that Miss Dowl-
ing may be employed for an indefinite
period.
The following is the final report Of
Miss Bowling presented to the AS
sociated Charities Wednesday eve
ming:
To the Nursing Committee:
The report for the month of June
is as follows: Number of patients on
the books June 1st, Is, new patients,
IA. Total 32. There were 6 dis
charged, death, 1 sent to sanatorium
and 4 discharged well, leaving on the
books June 80, 26 patients. Number
OF visits paid during the month 233.
Two of the patients this month were

complsh as much work during the
past month as | hoped, but owing to
the fact that the committee were so
long in deciding whether they would
continue the work and then as they
decided against continuing it, / felt
there was no use in commencing work
could not finish.
| may mention here that during the
past three months there has been very
little interest shown in the work L
have been trying to do. When / say
that | mean no one ever offered to
come and see just what | was doing,
and that is the only way any one can
see or understand what is being done.
| feel sure that if they had done so
they would have understood that such
work is only in its infancy, and that
it has to be done gradually l am
very sorry they have decided on clos
| ing the work. for there is large field
here and in South Vernon and Fair
view.
| During this last month | have spent
| good deal of time in trying to place
six months old baby, as the doctor
did not consider the mother in a con
dition to care for it, 1t was eventually
placed by the Juvenile court. Then q
patient placed in the sanatorium was

Serum cuts Down Morality.

In Paris from 1880 to 1898, before
the discovery of the anti-diphtheria
serum, diphtheria killed an average
of 1.721 persons a year, 2,244 deaths
In 1882 and 1895 in 1890 being the
maximum. After Roux discovered
his serum. the average of deaths
dropped to S4S. with a maximum of
1855 In 1901 and a minimum of 174
in 1906, Thus, thanks to serotherapy.
there is now only one death instead Of
five, and in some years one instead Of
seven, or mortality Of six per 1907
900 Inhabitants.
In 1895, soon after the serum came
into use in Paris, the mortality fell
to 9.7 per 100000, while in London 1t
was 55.6; in Berlin, COL, and in St
Petersburg, 500.

"rhe Devil to Paw

in other words filling the seams with
hot pitch, which was done with a
long-handled mop made especially for
that use. If sudden shower should
come up and wet the oakum before the
seam was "payed" or filed with pitch,
the fresh water would rot the oakum
and there would be "the devil to pay"
