Don't Worry Work

band would almost prefer a gadabout wife to one who worries him to death with her household cares.
 Don't allow yourself to become nervous and upset over your household affairs. Nothing disastrous will occur even If you don't get all the work fin ished that you expected to do. It is best for every woman to have some in terests outside of the home. best not only for herself and her own mentality, but also for her family and for her home. She does her work all the more thoroughly for having forgotten it en- tirely for an hour or two.
 You will find how much more smooth ly things will go, housewives, if you learn to take them much more lightly Go out to club or to the library or a picture show for an hour or two in the afternoon and be sure to forget your house for that period; then your inter- est will be kept alive and you will get your tasks finished twice as easily.

Utilize Your Old Furniture

WHERE arc only a few houses which
 I nave not some old fashioned pieces of furniture tucked away in the garrct Many O. these are useless to the own CT and if sold to a dealer would bring little money It is, therefore. quite the besr thing to utilize the old wood in making some odd pieces of furniture.
 A crib recently seen was saved from the attic and converted into cozy corner by the woman to whom 1t had become endeared by associations. It yas one of the old fashioned kind which looked as if it had been made from spools. and one side of 1t was hinged on. It had long been enameled white, but to mako it look less like a crib it was painted with thin coat of forest green enamel. through which the white showed.
 The hinged side was then removed and firmly fastened to the back, mak- ing that the height of the ends and in the shape of settee. The legs were sawed off to make it convenient dis tance from the floor to use as seat. A hair mattress was made into O box cushion to fit the seat, and this was covered with green burlap. The cush- ion was tackled in squares with green floss, the ends tied tightly before cut ting.
 A thick pad was also made for the side and ends of the crib and just long enough to upholster neatly. This was also covered with green burIap. tackled firmly almost to the top rail. 1t was then finished with upholsterer's braid put on with gilt headed tacks.
 1as& ,1~r, &n xaF he burlap was put around the bottom of the crib in the same manner, and this, too was finished with a braid. When this cozy seat was set in a niche by the chimney and piled high with color ed cushions no one would have even dreamed of it's humble origin.
 Another woman who had handsome old cherry dining room table had it converted into chest. She then carv- ed the panels with design of ferns, palms and holly berries. 1t was fin- ished with a coat of oil and brass trimmings.
 Old walnut dining table tops have been used for wainscoting in dining room fireplace corner. A settee up- holstered in plush, when replaced by carved panels of walnut, was very ef- fective. The middle panel had the own CTS initials in old English lettering cut within circle in the center. The set tee was then upholstered in leather.
 Some of the most attractive Gothic screens seen are made of black walnut table tops. They are finished with an oil painted canvas in each panel. Floral designs are carved on the wood.

SOME NOT VACCINATED

Much interest centered around the
reopening Of the public schools Mon
day morning after being closed for
nearly three weeks on account of the
smallpox scare, because of the report
that several pupils would attempt to
return who had not been vaccinated,
as required by a mandate from the
school board
Out of 783 pupils, between Is and
20, or approximately 2 or 21a per
cent. appeared at school without GER

pills were promptly sent home. We

ing to it. They hold, and it would
seem rightly so, that it would be un-
just to those who have had their chill
dren vaccinated at expense and incon-
venience, to permit few to evade the
law.
So far as we are able to learn the
school authorities took no snap judg-
ment in this matter and that the order
for wholesale vaccination of the pu-
pills was not decided upon until the
question had been Investigated widely
and that course appeared to be the
only wise and safe one, based also, as
above stated, upon good legal adivce

No Money For
Main Market Road

The county commissioners received
a tentative proposition from State
Highway Commissioner Marker the
past week concerning the cooperation
with the state in making expenditures
for the construction, improvement,
maintenance and repair of inter-coun-
ty highways and main market roads.
Along with the proposition was a re-
cent opinion of the Attorney General,
of which the following is copy:
"The legislature of 1918 passed
what was known as the Hite- Hudson
half mill levy bill. In brief, it pro-
vided for a levy Of one-half mill on
all the taxable property Of the state,
rs per cent. less the amount for op-
Grating expenses of the department,
to be used for the construction, inn
provement, maintenance and repair
of the inter-county highways and 25
per cent to be used for the construct
ion, improvements, maintenance and
repair of main market roads. (Bear
in mind that main market road is
also an inter-county highway and can
be improved as sdch.)
The first money derived from the
levy bill was that which was collected
by the taxes Of December, 1918, and
became available by the appropriation
act passed April 2S, 1918. The sec
ond half Of the annual levy was col
lected in June, 1914, and became avail
able soon after for placing under con-
tract"
Commissioner Marker then writes.
"The act provided that the state
highway commissioner, with the ap-
prOval Of the governor, could improve
any main market road and pay the en-
tire cost Of same out Of the main mar
ket funds. There was such demand
for these funds that counties contrib
uted as much as $3.50 to 81 of state
funds to have their improvements
The Medina sentinel. [volume] (Medina, Ohio) 1888-1961, 1915-02-26

made at once rather than wait indef-
nitely. The 100000 approximately,
OF main market money was made to
represent more than twice the amount
of contract work.
"The special session of the legisla-
ture, held in 1914, reduced the levy
from 5 tenths to 8 tenths of a mill;
this in turn reduced the main market
money from over 100000 to less than
100000. In the meantime the senti-
ment for road improvement has in
creased and the desire for main mark
ct money has also increased.
From the present indication it will
be impossible to grant all of each re-
quest and we have found it necessary
to devise some plan by which these
funds can be equitably proportioned.
"In order that we may arrive at a
fair distribution in as short time as
possible it will be necessary for you
to indicate on the accompanying blank
your desires in this matter. We will
not consider your acceptance of
proposition as binding on your part
but merely your intent or desire in
the matter.
"Please to have your answers filed
with this department by March 1,
1915"
At their meeting Monday the COM
missioners decided to a k $4,000
from the state to be expended on
main market road No. 10, which runs
from Cleveland to Cincinnati through
Medina county. Against this amount
asked from the state the commission
ers agree to put up no money for the
reason that they have none to put up
for that purpose. However, Secre-
tary Zimmerman of the commission
er's Office, was requested to write the
state highway commissioner to as
certain If possible how long It will be
before the commission will be able to
submit estimates Of the cost Of re-
building the Harrisville and York
roads. For this purpose the state
will supply $4,000 and the county will
put up a like amount.

CAR JUMPS TRACK

The electric package due here from
Cleveland at 1890, jumped the track
last Friday in front of the residence
of Frank Smith on North Court
street and ran up into the yard be-
fore it could be stopped. The wheels
cut the sidewalk like cheese. The
track at the point where the car left
it was being repaired and there was
a strip Of several feet with but little
support. AS the car came bounding
along the track dropped sufficiently
to derail the car. Traffic was de-
layed but little, as cars from both di-
rections were able to keep, pretty
close to their regular schedules by
running to the wrecked car and trans
ferring their passengers.
1t is no uncommon thing for cars
on the Southwestern to become derail-
