Any substance that viii not dissolve
in water has an odor. IL IS the actual
substance itself, floating In particles
in the air, as In the case Of light and
sound. The damper q thing Is tho
more powerful the odor II gives on. A
pleasant proof Of the fact can be had
By walking In a garden after rain. II

Valentine Theatre.

Manager Moore of the Valentine
theatre, Toledo, Ohio, is preparing for
one of the biggest weeks in the history
of that house when the New York
Winter Garden musical Extravaganza,
Robinson Crusoe, Jr.," with Al Jolson,
the original Metropolitan cast and the
far famed beauty chorus, enters upon
IN engagement of one week, beginning
Sunday evening, March %, with the
usual matinees on Wednesday and Sat
uday.
The big show, coming direct from
Broadway with comparatively few
tops en- route, will arrive Sunday on
he Winter Garden Special of 15 cars
\ personnel Of 200 is carried and the
,pectacular side of the offering is mas
5iye. The extravaganza, which is in
.wC big acts and fourteen tremendous
scenes, follows the familiar story Of
Robinson Crusoe only insofar as it
lepicts the dream of q world-worn
New York millionaire who, tiring of
.he complexities Of Manhattan life,
yearns for the simplicity Robinson
Crusoe scomed, according to story
book and poem. Reading the latter,
after heavy Indulgence in a rarebit,
sleep instantly transports him to the
solitude Of Crusoe's Isle. William
Kinley, as leading man, and Alexan-
Ira Dagmar as the star feature of his
Shameless Players Film Company"
furnish twenty minutes of fast and
furious fun that will delight "movie"
fans. Then there are Bowers. Crocker
and Walters Of vaudeville fame, pro-
yiding fun in the guise of "rube" con-
stables, Mile. Isabel Rodriguez con-
tributing her original Spanish dance,
and host of other widely known en-
tertainers.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.

We have for distribution the
new telephone directory. AS the
book contains the entire list of the
Toledo, Holland, Maumee, Perrys-
burg and Whitehouse exchanges, it
is inconvenient to distribute to the
Rural subscribers, so when in Per-
rysburg call at the Telephone Office
and get yours. There has been
some delay in the issue, therefore
there are several changes, but it
would improve your service if you
call by number as much as possible.

No doubt Greek officers, who are
very badly paid as compared with our
own standard, console themselves with
the knowledge that they are probably
as well off in the army as they would
be in any other profession. For sal
aries in Greece are all ridiculously low
as gauged by our own. The highest
judges, for example, do not get much
more than $1,000 year, while many of
their less exalted brothers have to
make about half that sum-with the
prospect of full pension after 80
years service.

Zeal Education.

Education, if 1t be worth the name,
Is practical. Many a college graduate
starving to death, because he had not
early learned the force of this truth.
On the other hand, many whose ad-
vantages in life were apparently the
most meager have steadily climbed up
ward, and ultimately reached the goal
of their desires, by the means of the
useful, comnon-sense knowledge cir
cumstances had enabled him to obtain.

Don't quarrel. There is no good in
it. 1t Is impossible to extract truth
from it. Its philosophy reflects hos
tility to truth, because it is always one
sided and therefore an effort to make
your side appear the better, which is
itself false attitude, says Ohio State
Journal. 1t is quite difficult to get at
the truth even in serene and phil
osophical discussion, simply because
the truth is inaccessible to argument.
There is the Congressional Record, for
instance. Read its dreary pages, both
sides, and then orient yourself and say
where you are at" In deeper doubt
than before. Where Is the road to
truth? 1t is the road called Kindness.
One will never reach truth by any 9TH
er route. We have seen men get very
mad at each other in argument, who
finally eXtricated themselves from
their mad spell, spoke gently, shook
hands and saw the truth. Try it and
see.

THE PEOPLES HOME
JOURNAL" FOR April

For everyone loves a lover and
there are many types Of lover III
the journal s April stories and SER
ials. Owen Oliver knows how to
combine romance and suspense in
his always entertaining fiction.
"The Rescue" by this well-known
author, introduces a revolution in
a country far from the civilization
we are familiar with-the impris-
onment Of the hero, and rescue,
planned by another lover of the
hsroine-a lover who has been re-
jected but who, forgetting his own
disappointment, is rewarded with
romance Of his own. So this
story has really two plots, or plot
within plot.
There is a "Green Meadow"
story for the children, told by
Thornton w. Burgess, and the
usual departments for the home
with a delightful Wit and Humor
page. Stories and departments
combine to make the April Journal
a capital investment. (Fifty Cents

THE RUBBER HOSE
1t is the Most Dangerous Ap-
pliance Used in Homes.

Bert Buckley, the State Fire
Marshal, says:
The most dangerous appliance in
common use in homes is the rubber
hose connections for gas lights and
heaters. 1t slght to be forbidden
by law, and it is, and by ordinance,
too, but the law is not enforced.
Why? Because its enforcement
would require a multitude of in
spectors at public expense and it
would make thousands of enemies
for officials who think highly of
votes.
The rubber tube ASA transmitter
of gas in houses has slain it's thou
sands, among the twelve millions
now using natural gas-murdered
them silently by suffocation or
noisily by explosion.
Children at ages in which curl,
osity exceeds intelligence pull
them off and are found asphyxi,
ated by the vapor, or are incin-
Grated by an explosion which
wrecks the house.
The material used for the thin,
bic at either end deteriorates with
age. The thimble next the stove
is liable to crack and drop off.
Rubber tubes are prone to leak
most of them do, but usually the
amount Of gas emitted is not large
enough to make, with the sur
rounding air, an explosive mix
ture; ii only makes the air poison
Gus.
There can be had now, for half
dollar, flexible gas tubes of metal
which are more durable and less
dangerous than the rubber ones,
and would be safe if they were
attached by metal ends. The most
dangerous of rubber tubes are
those cut to length in the stores
in which they are sold, because the
ends are attached badly.
Any one can well afford to have
all his gas stoves attached by metal
piping. 1t is less painful to con-
tribute to the wealth of the plumb
er than the undertaken.

Gas keys should not be fixed in

turned open by brooms and dish
rags and trailing skirts and by
children playing or experimenting.

Imports Greater Then Ever.

It is mistake TO suppose that our

trary IS true. We are buying more of
the products of the outside world than
we ever bought before. In the eleven
months ending November, 1916, the
total imports reached the sum OF ST.
1s6, 81, 702, and increase of $3.50, O57, 513

crease Of 1851, 233, a3 over the imports
fer the year ending November, 1915
