HURT COASTING,
WOOSTER HILL
Bob Of Academia Party Is
Hurled Into Bank
NO INJURY SERIOUS
Party or Young People Have Most
Narrow Eseape-Two Legs And
One Arm sprained
Az Result

Numerous were the injuries of the
members OF the party who met with
an accident Monday afternoon be-
tween and 5 o'clock while coasting
on the long steep hill on the Wooster
pavement to Academia. When the
sled neared the bottom Of the hill,
Robert Kruft, who was guiding it,
lost control and sent the bob" and
the members of the party crashing
into bank of frozen earth at the
side of the road. Several very pain
full injuries were sustained by men,
bers Of the party.
The party had been coasting the
greater part of the afternoon and
Kruft had proved to be the one to
guide the large, unruly sled down the
steep hill. He had shown his ability
for holding the sled I'm the road BIZ
bringing his passengers down the
grade in safety until the time of the
accident in which all had a miracu-
lous escape from more severe injur-
les than were sustained
The last time, it seemed to by
ISLANDERS that more speed was gather
ed by the great sled as it swept down
the hill. Almost at the bottom of
the hill, the sled started to skid from
one side to the other Then, with the
sound of the cracking of ice and the
screams of the occupants of the sled,
the party crashed with great force in
to the hard. frozen bank at the side
of the road, near the car-track.
Those watching the young people
enjoy their sport, rushed to the foot
of the steep grade, expecting the
worst. Kruit, who was guiding, had
sustained numerous injuries and lac
erations about the head and his
clothes were badly torn. The ply
sicians who attended the injured
people stated that they could not de-
termine whether or not the bone
above Kruft's eye had been fractured,
but it seemed to be.
The sled righted, Miss Mildred
Corder was found to have sustained
a severe sprain of the left ankle. Miss
Corder was taken to the grocery of
V. II. Cook where medical attention
was rendered her by the attending
physicians. 1t was stated that her
recovery will be a long and tedious
process.
The others who sustained severe in.
juries were Miss Pearl Cook, who re.
ceived a badly sprained and bruised
right arm, and Robert Beagle, who
sustained a sprained left leg and a
great many painful bruises of that
member.
All members OF the party were
| hurt slightly, cuts and bruises being
the extent of the injuries sustained.
Those in the party were all young
people of Academia. They were the
| following: Robert Kruft, Mildred
Corder, Robert Beagle. Lillian Hal.

Boner Banbridge, Pearl Cook and Mr..
Gregg.

When You Have a Cold

1t is when you have a severe cold
that you appreciate the good quail
ties of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Mrs. Frank Crocker, Pana. Illinois,
writes: "Our five-year-old son Paul
caught severe cold last winter that
settled on his lungs and he had ter
rible coughing spells. We were
greatly worried about him as the
medicine we gave him did not help
him in the least. A neighbor spoke
so highly Of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy that got a bottle Of it. The
first dose benefited him so much that
l continued giving it to him until he
was cured"

About Constipation

Certain articles of diet tend to
check movements of the bowels. The
most common of these are cheese,
tea and botfed milk. On the other
hand raw fruits. especially apples
and bananas, also graham bread and
whole wheat bread promote a move
ment OF the bowels, When the bow
els are badly constipated, however,
the sure way is to take one or two of

COAL |
Famine Faced By City OF
Newark

Newark today faced a coal famine
that threatened serious consequences
unless relief is had very quickly or
the weather moderates appreciably,
says the Newark Advocate.
One prominent dealer said that at
noon he doubted seriously if there
we're 80 tons of lump coal in the en-
tire city, and it practically was i'm
possible to buy any at retail.
The dealers have coal on the road
but it seems impossible for the rail-
road companies to get it into New
ark
The natural gas supply also was
very low, but the weather prediction
Ia for warmer weather tonight and
tomorrow SO that relief is hoped for.
