BenZoate of Soda. All the legiti-
mate manufacturers admit this.
The housewife who puts up pre-
serves, jams, jellies. pickles and the
like amid clearly surroundings
needs no Benzoate of Soda to make
the products keep. The factory
that is insanitaTy and uses refuse
or waste and partially decayed
products must employ Benzoate Of
Soda TO cover up the evidences Of
inferiority and deceive the consum-
err into believing the products pure
and wholesome. BenZoate of Soda

always try to disguise the fact as
much as possible. But the law
compels them TO state the presence
of the drug on the label. They
may deceive the housewife as to

VIOLATES POOL LAW

Complaints have been made to May
or Randall of late that minors were
allowed not only to visit the local pool
and billiard halls, but also to play the
games. Tuesday afternoon Mayor
Randall directed Marshal Gates to
proceed to the rooms and that if he
found any such violation of the law
to make an arrest. Upon entering
the pool room of Jacob Lentz, Marshal
Gates discovered two minors and es-
cortnd Mr.. Lentz to the mayors Office
Lentz entered plea of guilty and was
fined SIS and costs, which he paid, and
was discharged. Lentz stated to the
court in extenuation that there were
a number of young fellows in town
who looked old enough to be men and
who gave him their word of honor
that they were of age. That he was
unable to determine the correctness Of
their statements in many cases. In
reply to this statement Mayor Randall
agreed to provide the two pool rooms
with the names and ages Of every
male minor in town and that after
this is done any subsequent violation
will be dealt with severely. The mayor
will also provide like list for every
tobacco dealer in town.

that only ladies of the best class are

pleasant and in every way congenial.

We are told that no good thing

work by which the Sentinel's great
tours are to be won, is agreeable
work, of the kind that gives the young
ladies valuable lessons in self-reliance
and self-confidence. Every person is
interested in the efforts of the fair
aspirants to win these trips, and the

wishes are the rule.

Death Summons
/. Emilia Swift

J. After an illness extending over a
period Of thirteen weeks, Mrs. Emilia
Swift, widow Of the late Isaac Swift,
died at the home of her brother, Geo.
M. Shaw of 524 S. Court street, on
Saturday morning at 4:30 o'clock,
aged IA years, A months and 16 days.
The deceased was born in York, and
has always been a resident of Medi-
ma county, and a larger part of the
time of the village. It was only since
her health began to fail as a result
of paralytic stroke about nine weeks
ago that she was removed to the home
Of Mr.. Shaw.
III She was one of nine children , Of
iiliar1 and Hannah Shaw who came
to America from England in the year
1882. e PA
In 1887 she was married to Isaac
Swift who died about seven years ago.
There were no children born to this
union. Er
At 18 she united with the Methodist
church and continued her membership
until death.
Besides the brother, one sister, Mrs.
Mary Harrington of Petoskey, Mich,
survives. Both were present at the
funeral, which was conducted from the
Shaw home Monday afternoon at 2

odist church officiating. Burial was

Assn.
Annual Meeting

The third annual meeting of the
Medina County Dairymen's association
was held at the court house, Saturday,
afternoon, Jan. 80, with about fifty
members present.
After the election of officers for the
ensuing year the dairymen listened to
an address by DIR. H. P. Miller, coun-
ty agricultural superintendent Of Port
age county on Cooperative Purchas-
ing" DR.. Miller told why the CO.
operative organizations in Portage
county was formed; how it was fl
nanced and managed and spoke in de-
tail of many of the advantages which
through it had accrued to. the agri-
cultural business men 5f that county.
AIT the close of Mr.. Miller's address
the matter was discussed quite freely
among the members present and a
motion was passed that if possible a
county wide organization be formed
to be known as the Medina County
Unit association, similar to those of
the Portage county organizations. The
officers of the Dairymen's association
to act as temporary officers in the
formation of the new organization.
A committee, consisting Of one man
from each township was chosen to try
and secure names of men who are in
sympathy with such move and who
are willing to become members of such
an organization. A meeting will be
held in Medina on Feb. 20 to further
complete the plans, at which every
person interested is urged to be pres
ent. Among the objects to be at
tanned will be a county agricultural
superintendent-the cooperative buy
inc of feeds and phosphates and the
finding of the best markets for Medi-
ma county farm products.
The move is big with possibilities if
the farmers of Medina county are big
enough to put it through. It's a
move in the right direction-let every
body boost.

Midwinter
Advertising

January and February are period
when the public looks through the
newspaper advertising with keen at
tention.
A great many people have formed
a regular habit Of delaying purchases
until this time of the year. They know
that most merchants will give un-
usually good bargains in midwinter,
to save carrying goods over until an
other year. A merchant that does
not get into line and tell the public
through the newspapers what he is
doing at this time of the year will find
his trade very slack. But simple
statement Of the good values that can
now be found in almost any enterpris-
ing store will be read with eager
interest. The store will find that it
is doing an excellent business even at
dull period.
Goods can't be moved unless the
public is told about them. A custom
er may go by the store every day in
the week. But if she does not know
that inside, back on those shelves is
Just the bargain that would appeal to
her the goods might just as well be in
Jericho. She goes home, picks up
the newspaper, reads about the spec
ial value offered in some store, and
on her next trip hunts out the place
that had the enterprise to seek her
patronage.
The merchant who does not adver-
tise pays high price for the money
saved. Goods grow moreunseasonable
the longer they stay in store. The
proprietor is getting no profit on them
to pay his fixed charges. Rent, in
terest, taxes, light and heat and clerk
hire expenses are running along every
day and must be paid. The only way
to pay them is to keep the goods NOV
ing.
Goods held over until another sea
son are apt to become shopworn OF
out Of style that they may have to be

and sold during the season for which
they are bought 60 at fairly good
price, and help the merchant close

Milk and Meat
Make Blood Red

Beef and butter, milk and meat
make red blood. Live stock is an
agricultural corner stone. Ohio has
less live stock on tax list than a quar-
ter century ago.
In fifteen years our population in
creased % million. Our food supply
did not increase a pound or bushel.
Red lights are ahead. AS live stock
decrease soil fertility escapes. Crop
yields per acre decline, and demand
for commercial fertilizer increases ten
fold.
y A light shines in the dark. Ohio has
an army of six thousand men grow
ing pure bred live stock. The truth
will boom Ohie. We lead the nati0lgi ii
good animals, We fail to advertise.
Put the truth in Capitol letters and
Ohio will become the Mecca and ma
tional cross roads Of those seeking
high class sires and dams.
Ohio stockmen are not welded. I'm
ion is strength.
If they would organize, cooperate,
and present a solid front, they could
levy toll and tribute on the world.
The live stock industry is standing
at the front door Of new era. Prices
will go higher.
Agricultural Colleges, Fairs and
Farmer Institutes are eliminating the
"scrub" and "plug" and creating an
imperative demand for pure bred

Let Ohioans proclaim always and
everywhere that the Buckeye State
leads the nation in good animals.

lieves that "The Truth will Boom

GETTING COLD FEET

Wadsworth citizens are not quite
so enthusiastic about having street
railway connections with the neighbor
ing town of Rittman since it voted wet
by 13 majority at the recent local op-
tion election. This will allow three
saloons in the boxboard town.
Should the new Cleveland line be
built connecting the two towns, as
apparently it will, Wadsworth will be
brought into close touch with saloons
in this quarter. That their nearness
will draw men and money to that town
cannot be doubted
The value of the line in other di-
rections, however, out-weighs this
drawback, some business men declare,
and it is not thought that the opposi-
tion on this account will be strong.
Wadsworth is at present nearly as
close to wet territory on the N. o, T.
line.
