MEDINA GIRL WINS
lst Prize FOR ESSAY

A remarkable essay for one of SO
tender years, but which brought a
first prize to the writer in a statewide
contest conducted by the Ohio Bank
ers association, was written by a
Medina lass, Miss Helen G. Eberle, ID
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Chas. Eberle of Branch Road, and a
member of the eighth grade Of the vii
lage schools. The prize is a large
and beautiful copy ofthe painting,
" Hope" BY Sir Edward Burne Jones,
and is On exhibition in the front win
dow of N. O. Fuller's store.
1t was several months ago that the
Ohio Bankers association offered
prizes for essays on the subject, Elbow
to earn and save money, specifying
that ailEcontsstants AUST bg from
either the seventh or eighth grades Of
the public schools the offer being
The Medina sentinel. [volume] (Medina, Ohio) 1888-1961, 1917-06-22

brought to the attention of the pupils
through the superintendents and
teachers. .t
Entering the contest seems to have
been but a whim with Miss Eberle;
as she says she never had an expecta-
tion of winning a prize, and in fact
did not take pains to fully understand
the conditions under which the prizes
were offered, nor the date of decision.
The first inkling she had Of her sue
cess, was when she received a letter
from the association asking why she
was not present at the Columbus
meeting to read her essay, which it, t,ap-
pears, was one Of the conditions.
Superintendent w. S. Edmund took
the matter in hand and paid a visit
to the officers Of the association, ex-
planning why Miss Eberle was not
present to read her essay. The fact
that her essay was prize winner, and
the explanation made by Supt.
Edmund, induced the association ia
award Miss Eberle the beautiful first
prize.
NOT only is MISS EDerle 10 pc hearCl
ly congratulated upon her success and
her thoughtful and well-written work,
but her ability speaks well for the
Medina schools, where sheis being edu-
Gated. The Sentinel takes pleasure in
reproducing the essay written by Miss
Eberle:
How to Earn and Save Money
The most important thing in life is
learning how to earn narid save money
We can never earn money IL we do
not get out and work for IL. W

the Benedictine ranks on Saturday,
June g. -at Lisbon, o., when united in
marriage to Mrs. Margaret Forbes Of
that city, who is stenographer for the
same company which also controls in

main in Lisbon for couple of weeks,
when she will join Mr.. England here
and they will begin housekeeping.

RAILROAD DETECTIVE
SUSPECTED OF THEFT

If local authorities and B. & o.
officials can locate E. C. Brokaw, late
railroad detective at Lodi, they will
lose no time in prosecuting him for a
theft which it is alleged he endeavored
to foist upon an innocent man, and
for which the latter suffered imprison-
ment in the county jail for two or
three weeks, until given an oppor-
tunity Of proving his innocence, which
he did.
VIM. Tobin was the victim and was
arrested in Elyria May rs, by Brokaw,
who charged him with having stolen a
revolver from the Wells-Fargo Ex-
press Co.'s Office at Lodi, and later
having sold the weapon to him,

proud of her partin subscribing to the
recent Liberty Bond issue. She was,
asked to sell $5O0,000 worth of bonds,
and fell short by only few thousands
of dollars. The time allotted by the
government was brief, which makes
Medina's generous response all the

VETERINARIANS IN DEMAND
IN UNITED STATES ARMY

Many calls for veterinarians to To-
cate in practice are coming to the agri-
cultural college, from county agents,
commercial clubs, etc. At the same
time there is a call for two Thousand
veterinarians for the army. There
seems to be choice of about five
places for every graduate veterinarian,
with the increased value of livestock,
federal meat inspection, animal disease
investigation, food inspection, teaching
and other lines of activity. The future
of the veterinary profession certainly
is propitious. The veterinarian is con-
servator of the livestock industry and
a sense of patriotism, aside from-self
ish motives will no doubt be the final
are ument IN many instances that will
influence young men to enter college
for course in veterinary medicine

DEAD BODY OF MINER FOUND
CLINGING TO A LADDER

Telluride, Aug. 21.-Clinging to the
ladder within 10 feet of the top of a
manway in a winze below the Ophir
tunnel level of the Tomboy PROPERTY,
the dead body of Frank Koivu was
found late last Wednesday evening by
rescue crew. Both arms were locked
around the uprights of the ladder as if
the man had been forced to stop climb
ing from exhaustion. He had climbed
300 feet from the bottom of the winze
to escape flood of water rushing from
the tunnel level, where an old shaft of
the Sidney workings had been tapped.
One of Kiovu s arms, in going arouad
the ladder upright, also encircled two
electric light wires. Although consid-
cradle water was running down the
Wine and Koivu and two companions
had climbed through shower of water
all the way out, an examination proved
that death was not caused by drowning
nor by electrocution

A BIT OF ADVICE
First-Don't Delay. secondEDon't
Experiment

If you suffer from backache; head
aches or dizzy spells; if you rest poorly
and are languid in the morning; do not
delay. In such cases the kidneys often
need help.
Doan' S Kidney Pills are especially
prepared for kidney trouble. They are
recommended by thousands. Can Glen
wood Springs residents desire more
convincing proof of their effectiveness
than the statement of this Glenwood
Springs woman who has used them and
willingly testifies to their worth?
Mrs. J. M. Paine, S15 Blake avenue,
says: '"I know that Doan's Kidney
Pills are all they are represented to be.
for they have helped both another of
our family and myself. I have been
troubled with backache and other kid

DON'T LEAVE IT TO MOTHER

Food. waste in the United States
must be stopped if the world is not to
60 hungry this winter, but it is unfair
to direct all our preaching of economy
to mother. Father and the children
should do their share also. A woman
may know very well that cheaper cut
of beef for boiling contains as much
nourishment as porterhouse, but if her
husband growls whenever he sees any
meat but beefsteak on the table, her
bill at the butchers stands little show
of reduction. Many women find it diff
ficult not to waste left over meat be-
cause their families turn up their noses
at hash. Often housewife finds it
necessary to serve two or three kinds
of meat, cereals or desserts at one meal
because various members of the family
refuse to eat the same things
More food, as rule, is wasted at
the table because someone helps himself
to larger portion than his appetite
justifies than is wasted in the cooking.
Children are especially bad in this re-
spect. They should be trained to take
only as much as they are sure they will
eat and to learn to eat any sort of food
that is wholesome. 1t is unpatriotic to
be notional or finical in ones eating
now. Let's be economical, by all
means, but don't put all the burden of
saving on mother.

PRESERVATION OF SWEET CIDER

OF the various methods used to pre-.
serve sweet cider, perhaps the best,
from a dietetic standpoint, is that of
pasteurizing. This is accomplished by
pouring fresh cider into sterilized glass
or stone receptacles, stoppering these
with sterilized corks, then placing them
in boilers or large kettles and sur
rounding them with cold water-enougll
water beng used to cover cider com,
pletely. If breakage is to be avoided,
raise cider containers off the bottom { f
the boilers or kettles by placing under
them wooden rack, wire netting, or
inverted pie tins in which few holes
have been punched.
When everything is in readiness heat
water until it 'boils, then remove vessel
from the range, or place it on the back
part, cover with heavy cloth, and
leave for from one-half to one hour,
depending on the size of the cider con.
tainers. At the end of that time, cool
quickly, under running water if possi-
BILE, and then set away in the coolest
place available.
Cider SO treated was kept in the
storeroom Of the home economics de-
partment at the State Agricultural col
lege from October l to June l, and at
the end of that period had not ferment-
ed, and was almost perfectly clear, due
to the sediments Of the organic ila-
purities originally present in suspep,

is a great shortage of fodder and be.
cause of the small chance of getting a
supply from America it has been de-

These facts alone should suffice to
impress the most pessimistic that, when

SCISSOR of them will be fortunate indeed
If this is not sufficient evidence, cas-
ual thought is all that is necessary to
convince one that France and Holland

other warning nations, excepting Eng

has already been slaughtered in Amer

in this country to resolve now to head
his herd with a good sire and raise to

none too great to fill the demand when
it presents itself, as it surely will.
