FORMER RESIDENT DIES

Miss Belle Bolts received q tele-
gram last Wednesday morning an
nouncing the death Of her brother,
Mr.. George W. Bolts, which occurred
at his home at Columbia, Mo-, after
long illness following a stroke of
paralysis. No arrangements for
the funeral and burial we're given in
the message but it is thought the
body will be inferred at Columbia.
Mr.. Bolts was eighty-nine years of
age and was born and raised in Mt.
Sterling, where he lived until 1869
when he removed to Missouri. He
never returned to Kentucky even for
visit, but kept in close touch with
friends and relatives at his old
home, and his death is learned here
with much regret. Mr.. Bolts was
son Of Thomas Bolts, one Of the
early pioneers Of this county, who
settled here over hundred years
ago, and was born in the historic
old Bolts home that stood until
recently on tn hill overlooking
West Main street. His death leaves
Miss Belle Bolts the sole survivor
of family of eleven children,
whose lives have been closely link
ed with events in Montgomery
county for a century. Mr.. Bolts
was a man of great inventive gen.
ius and made his talent the basis
for a livelihood. Many of our older
citizens recall him as man who
was true as steel and possessed of
rugged honesty that earned him
universal respect. Mr.. Bolts mar
ried Miss Julia Palmer, of this city,
who died about ten years ago. Two
sons, John NJ. Bolts and William
C. Bolts, and one daughter, Miss
Minnie Bolts, ali of Columbia, sur
vive, together with one grandchild,
Mrs. Clay Brown, of Columbia.
Local friends are rendering deep
sympathy to the venerable Miss
Belle in her grief.

BOOT ACCEPTS RUSSIAN POST

Elihu Root, former Secretary Of
State, after conferences with Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Lansing,
formally accepted the Craftsmanship
Of the American Commission to
Russia. Mr.. Root spent an hour
with the President at the White
House discussing the Russian sit
uation. The President outlined
fully what he desired to accomplish.
The commission will be composed
of three or four principal members
and staff of secretaries and as
sistants. 1t is expected to leave
for Russia within a few days. The
needs of Russia as outlined to
President Wilson are for political,
financial, transportation and COM
mercial advice and assistance.

FRANCE WANTS AMERICA
TO SEND ARMY ARMY TIC FRONT

Conferences between members of
the French war mission and Ameri-
can government officials for ex-
change of views regarding the con-
duct of the war against Germany,
began in Washington last Thursday
after the leading commissioners
had paid official calls on President
Wilson, Vice President Marshall
and Secretaries Lansing, Baker and
Daniels.
OF foremost Importance was the
long talk between Marshall, Joffre
and members Of his staff and Sec
rotary Baker, General Scott, chief
of staff, and several other American
Navy officers.
France is known to desire the
sending of an American expedition
airy force to cooperate with her
armies, and Marshal Joffre came to
the United States prepared to give
reasons for the opinion Of French
military experts that the sending Of
such a force is advisable.

polls. The former had an average at
tendance last year of 1860 and the
latter 1859. The penitentiary at Co.
lumbus had an average attendance of
1884, and the Mansfield Reformatory
1899, the Boys Industrial School at
Lancaster 1856 and the Girls Indus
trial School at Delaware 469. The re-
formatory for women, near Marys-
vile, is new and had 68 inmates.
These Is Ohio asylums, prisons and
reformatories had an average popu-
lation last year of more than 10000.
Think of the wrecked homes, ruined
lives, misery and utter helplessness
represented by these institutions, and
then remember that large per cent
of these unfortunates owe their con-
dition to drink. Furthermore, do not
forget that the people of Ohio are in
partnership with the traffic which is
causing all this misery and expense.
Also keep in mind the jails, police
stations, poor houses, and charitable
institutions, aside from these already
mentioned, which are built and main
tained largely for the care of the sa-
loon product.
Why not remove the cause rather
than provide for the effect?

Importance of Salads
In Dietetic Value

Salad has an important place in the
diet, says Miss Helen Green, instructor
in domestic science in the Kansas State
Agricultural college.
While salad Is not as substantial a
dish as some included in the daily
menu, there are other things to be con-
sidered. Salad set in nest of lettuce
leaves is appetizing. The dietetic value
Of the minerals in the fruit and vege-
tables and the oil in the dressing can
not be overestimated.
Some vegetables and fruits which
are quite necessary to the diet would
not be utilized at all if they were not
made into salads. Carrots. for exam
pie, prepared in salads in their raw
state furnish valuable food elements.
Salads furnish bulk. an important item
to be considered in preparing menus.
A simple salad is more attractive and
has better dietetic value than an
elaborate mixture of expensive foods.
A light salad may be served with a
heavy dinner as a substitute for des-
sert, adding to the dietetic value of the
meal as well as reducing its cost.

uNFORTUNATES
COST MILLIONS
OhiO'S Public Institutions Are
Expensive,
MUCH is DUE TO Drink

Average Population Last Year In FIJI
teen AsyIums, Prisons and Reform
atories In Excess of 10000 and 1t Is
a Conservative Estimate That More
Than Half of the Trouble Is Due to
Alcohol
Columbus, O.-Last year it cost
the state more than $4,000,0O0 to
maintain the institutions in which its
unfortuHates are housed. This is
merely for maintenance and does not
include the cost of grounds, build
ings, machinery, etc. There are
twenty of these State institutions. 1t
is conservative to say that 60 per
cent of the trouble represented in
fifteen of the twenty of these insti-
tutions is due to drink.
Leave out of consideration the
School for Blind, the Deaf and Dumb
Institution, Soldiers and Sailors
Home, tuberculosis Sanitorium, and
the Madison Home for Ohio Soldiers
and Sailors and their wives.
But look at the others. Ohio has
eight insane asylums and drink has
done its share in filling them. These
eight asylums have cost Ohio many
millions of dollars. In 1916 the aver
age population of these eight insane
hospitals was 12,047.
Then there are the Institution for
the Feeble Minded at Columbus, and

The argument that the volun-

ing a large army in Canada, and
therefore should be adopted in
this country, is discounted by
Congressman William S. Ware of

preston of the style of campaign
conducted by the government to
procure recruits. Every man on
the street was confronted by huge
advertisements with the finger of

The Very Oldest Inn.

Which is the oldest inn in Eng
land? The title deeds of the Sara
Gems Head at Newark date back to
134l, and local antiquaries cite doc
umentary evidence to prove that the
Seven Stars at Manchester existed
before the year 1856. There is even
a legend that the wife of Earl God
win stayed at the Fountain at Can
terbury in 1929. 'But what are all
these compared with the Fighting
Cock at st. Albans, mentioned in
old Country Inns and said to be
the oldest inhabited house in Eng
land? A few years ago its sign
board modestly chronicled the fact
that it had been rebuilt after the
flood.'"

Crop Conditions.

Wheat has shown a slight inn
provement in growth or strength
during the month. While there
has been an improvement in some
counties, there has been a de-
cline in others, and the general
result of the month shows an av-
erage condition of SO per cent; a
gain of three points since last re-
port. The number of counties
where wheat condition is estim-
ated as being the same as on Ap
ril 1 is Six; the number of coun-
ties showing an Improvement in
condition, fftyone; and the num-
Der where decline is reported,
thirtyone. The greatest increase
in wheat condition during April
seems to have occurred in the
northwest and northeast coun-
ties of the state. The weather
conditions of the past month have
not been the most favorable to
wheat growth, there being too
much cold and damaging storms.
In anticipating the total outcome
of wheat products in Ohio for
1917, the small area seeded last
fall must be taken into consider
alton. The estimated area sown
was 1,578,845 acres. This is
237, 741 acres short of a ten year
average acreage, which. at The
average product per acre, would
represent a shortage of abOlt
3, 566,OOO bushels compared with
an average yield.
The condition of winter rye
and winter barley shows some
better than wheat.
The area seeded to oats is a.
bout a ten year average.
There has been comparatively
small loss to the different classes
OF, live stock during winter anc
spring. Animals are generally
quite healthy, though thin ir
flesh, on account of the scarcity

From many counties come re
ports that peaches are entirely
