CREEDS.

By Ivy Green
Greed seems today to be at sea,
And frail must be the boat,
When all aboard must be on deck
To keep the craft ahoat,
And souls are starving all around
Because they dare not eat;
Why seek to feed, on bones and husks
Instead of gospel meat?
The trouble is these human creeds,
Have little saving grace;
An ancient structure built by men,
To take the gospels place.
That gospel plan seems plain enough
That he who runs may read;
So why this obtruse labyrinth
Of some deceiving creed?
Love is the precious diadem,
The crowning gem of all,
1t shone supreme through all the
earth
Till lost by Adams fall.
Restored again by power divine,
Reclaimed from Eden's bowers,
To bless mankind with hope and faith
And save this, world of ours. 4
Is there not found within the book,
A universal creed? IL
Is not that good old golden rule
About the one we need?
On such creed the world could stand
"Our Father" say, and then
Unite to make humanity
One brotherhood of men,.
Instead of creeds that dwarf and blind
The gospel would be free,
Broad as Gods universal love,
That gives us liberty
With more good will and less of hate
With more of noble deeds,
The book of Life our guide and chart
What need have we for creeds?

ExPt why MEN ~
ARE GROWING BALD

Thousands of man are growing bald
every day and don't know the reason
why. Many of them never expect to
save even what hair is left. w
Thisis indeeda pity, says special
ist because badness usually comes
from carelessness and anyone who
gives the scalp a little attention
should always have an abundance of
good healthy hair. Dust and dirt help
to cause badness by clogging the
pores in the scalp and giving the
dandruff germs fertile ground for
breeding. ~
The treatment is very simple:
Shampoo at least once in ten days and
destroy the dandruff germs by ap-
plying frequently Partisan Sage, a
delightfully."- efficient preparation
that Read & Wager is now. recon-
mending as the surest treatment to
/ stop falling hair, to remove dandruff
and to refresh and invigorate the hair
roots.
The cost of generous bottle of
Partisan Sage is very little and drug
gists everywhere have been author
lied to offer it with guarantee of
perfect satisfaction or money return

THE STATE CIVIL SERVICE
IssI Il COMMISSION OF OHIO

Inspectors and superintendent are
wanted for the State Highway De-
.partinent. The State Civil Service
Commission has called examinations
of candidates for these two positions
to be held on February "a and %. The
pay of superintendent is from $500
to- $500 a day while that of inspec-
tors from $500 to $500 day. Hun
dreds Of miles Of highway will be re-
paired during the coming year, and
many Inspectors will be needed. The
Civil Service Commission is, there
fore, calling the examinations for as
early date as possible, so that the
eligible list will be ready as soon as
weather will permit work to begin. In
order to save the, candidates expense
in reaching the point of examination,
the Commission will conduct the same
in various cities of the state.
Full particulars regarding the
qualification, places of examination,
and application blanks will be sent to
all who request the same of the State
Civil Service Commission, Columbus.
All candidates must have their ap-
plication filed with the Commission
at least three days before the date
of examination. The February bulle-
tin of the State Civil Service Com
mission, Columbus, has just been is
sued and will be sent to any person
interested. Inspectors for the state
highway department., messengers,
janitors, farm superintendents and a
superintendent of schools at the peni-
tentiary are wanted by the state. The
bulletin. which gives full details re-
garding all these examinations, will
be mailed on request to all who re-
quest the same.
It is expected that several hundred
inspectors for the state highway de-
partment will be appointed during
the next two months, and the State
Civil Service Commission is not able
to certify names enough for the
positions. In order to get good men
for this work, the commission has
called two examinations to be held
within the next few weeks for both
inspectors and superintendents for
the highway department. Farm su-
perintendents and messengers and
janitors are also wanted by state de-
partments. The February bulletin OF
the State Civil Service Commission
gives full details of the examin-
[ation called for the month. It is
free for the asking.

OBITUARY.

Mary Elizabeth, daughter of John
and susanna Markley, was born JAN
uary 17th, 1868 in Fulton county
where she also lived during her
whole lifetime. She always enjoyed
good health until last summer when
she began Ito fail. Realizing the
seriousness of her illness, bright's
disease, she not only consulted
physicians but also sent for Rev. P.
Kleupfel for spiritual advice in or
der to be prepared for every even
tua'itv.. She received holy baptism
and thus became a child of God and
ar, heir of eternal life. It was Gods
will that she should not again re-
gain her health. She departed this
life last Thursday, February 10, 1916
at, the age of ffty-three years and
twenty-three days. She leaves to
mourn their loss four brothers and
three sisters and many other rela-
tives and friends. Funeral services
were held last Saturday, February
12th. at the home of Jacob Markley,
where Miss Markley died, and at
Trinity Lutheran church, Wauseon,
Ohio. Rev. P. Kuepfel officiating.
Interment took place in the Wau-
seon cemetery

NAvY'S LATEST SUBMARINE
PUT THROUGH TRIALS

I.
Tests which apparently proved very
satisfactory were recently made in
Cape Cod Bay, off Provincetown,
Mass, with the emil" the latest larg-
est ocean going submarine so far COM
pleted for the United States Navy.
The boat has guaranteed cruising
radius of $500 miles and is said to
be capable of covering 5,0004mile
course without stopping to replenish
either its fuel or supply stores. After
one of its trials, during which it
spent four hours in a choppy sea, it
was declared by its commander to be
the best submersible flying the Amer
lean flag. helk ~
The "M-l" represents the first of
a new type of craft. It has an over
all length Of 1876 it., is capable Of
maintaining surface speed ofsslight-
ly more than 18, miles an hour, is de-
signed to dive 150 #. with safety, and
can remain submerged for a period
of 72 hours. It is armed with four
torpedo tubes and deck gunaiN' 8
The engines are of the Diesel type,
but have been developed in this coun-
try and modified in an attempt to
overcome the faults found in those of
similar design used in the European
navies. The two engines together de-
velope approximately 900 horsepower,
the craft when it is submerged give
about 700 horsepower. The arrange
ment of the boat differs somewhat
from the "Holland" boats and en-
bodies new form Of hull construc-
ton. s8ss
The cruising radius and high surface
speed of the "M-l" will enable it to
be used more effectively than former
models. In this connection the recent
tests were watched with particular
interest, because the emil" closely re-
sembles the feet submarine ssSchley'
which is now under construction. The
latter craft is of a still more formid-
able pattern, for when completed il
will have length Of about 265 feet
displacement of approximately l.
600 tons, and will represent an ex-
penditure Of nearly $1,350,00D. It
will have a surface speed Of about %
miles an hour, which will enable it to
operate in conjunction; with a feet and
possibly even take the place of q tor
pedoboat destroyer. IL From the Po-
Ipular Mechanics Magazine for Feb.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi-
tute for calome1-are mild but sure laxa-
tive. and their effect on the liver is almost
instantaneous. They are the result of DIR.
Edwards determination not to treat liver
and bowel complaints with calomel. His
efforts to Danish it brought out these little
olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does but have no bad after ef-
fects. They don't injure the teeth like strong
liquids or calome1 They take hold of the
trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure
the liver at the expense of the teeth1 Cal
omel sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids.
It is best not to take caloinel, but to let
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches. 'dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards Olive
Tablets when you feel"loggy" "and"heavy..
Note how they ''clear" clouded brain and
how they ''perk up" the spirits. At l0c and
lSc per box. All druggists.
