SERIOUS CHARGE
Faced by George Heiser Of This City
Indicted by Dayton, Ohio, Grand
Jury on Charge Of En-
bezzlement.

rested Saturday night about $3.50
o'clock by the local police at Bur-
goyne's pool room on bench warrant
issued on an indictment returned by
n Dayton, Ohio, grand jury, charging
him with embezzlement.
Young Heiser was taken to police
headquarters and after arriving there
he and some Of his relatives begged
that he be not placed in jail for the
night. Chief of Police Ort called up
the Dayton, Ohio, authorities and af-
ter explaining the circumstances per-
mission was granted for Heiser to re-
main in the custody Of his two aunts
until this morning.
Heisers relatives were aware that
he had gotten in trouble in Dayton,
but were under the impression that
the affair had been settled by the pay
ment of some money to the firm which
is prosecuting him. Heiser was in
dicted by the Dayton, Ohio, grand jury
on December 10. He was taken to
Dayton this morning to face the
charges of the grand jury, being ac-
companied by Attorney John G. Wads-

THE NEW MANAGEMENT

Dear Uncle Sam: see that you are
runnin railroads now.
It is the finest thing that's happened
In this war, vow.
And now that you have taken charge
some things I'd like to say
About improvements In the way the
roads are run today
I've bought ton of wormy figs from
butchers that know;
know when you have taken hold
you will not sell them so.
The brakemen holler out the names
never get em quite.
Please teach those birds how to pro-
nounce the names OF stations
right.
The feller who takes off his shoes and
goes to sleep and snores,
And sticks his feet out in the aisle
send him to foreign shores.
Please make the porters brush our
clothes and not just waive the
broom.
And have some water that Is hot out
in that old washroom.
Just fix these little things for us. We
know you have the spunk.
Then we will send thousand more
ideas for you, dear Unk

"sMILEAGE" CAMPAIGN
TO Start Here Tomorrow Under d.
rectl0n Of A, q. Sulser $500
Worth Of Books Allotted TO
This City.

A committee working with Chair
man A. G. Sulser will call on all 9f
the citizens of Maysville tomorrow TO
obtain the sale Of $500 worth I of
mileage" books that have been al
lotted to Maysville. You may say what
is "smileage" and why "smileage"
campaign? The answer to that Is
that the committee on training camp
activities, of which Raymond B. Fos-
dick is chairman, has learned through
experience that after the study and
the grind and drill that turns our pa
triotic citizens into trained soldiers
that will win the war, nothing is more
necessary than the sort of relaxation
that carries happy laughter with it.
The Military Entertainment Coun-
Gil appointed by the Secretary of War
has originated type of book Of tick
cts that members of the soldiers fam
lily and his friends may send to him
at the front. They are called smile
age" books and will be maze up of
coupons somewhat like the mileage
books of the railroads.
In books Of one size twenty cou-
pons will be sold for dollar. In
books Of another size one hundred
will be sold for five dollars. These
coupons will be good for payment for
seats at any performance in any
camp theater. Probably as the move
ment grows, they will be made good
also for certain other and similar
uses.
As gifts these "smileage' books will
have rather a distinctive character
Each time the soldier tears coupons
from his book he will renew his sense
of attention from the sender. Every
book will constitute a current of in
terest between the man at the front
and the folks back home. Often, of
course, one soldier will receive many
books, and then he will 40 the thing
which is characteristic of the Ameri-
can soldier throughout the country
he will share his abundance with his
mates.
The result will be to change ID dan
ger period in the life of the soldier in
to a period Of healthful relaxation and
refreshment.

CARD INDEX SYSTEM Is
ADOPTED FOR DRAFTED MEN

Under new regulations received by
the local exemption boards Saturday
from Provost Marshal General E. H.
Crowder, a card index of men skilled
in certain lines of work must be kept.
For instance, man drafted into army
service from mechanical work, which
necessitated much skill, will be in
dexed and his commanding officer at
camp advised of his capacity. In this
way he can Immediately be assigned
to tasks where he can work with
maximum efficiency.
Heretofore it has been the custom
of the government to await until the
men are in service before determin-
ing their qualifications for various
classes of work while in service.

ANSWER MADE
by Dlener.Wels Company To Bank.
ruptcy Proceedings Instituted
Against II by Packing Firm
Of Armour & Company.

The following item from the Hunt
ington Herald-Dispatch is of interest
here
That its business was arbitrarily
closed up and destroyed by the pack
ing firm of Armour & Company and
that the packing company through its
agents refused to levy on the firms
personal property but insisted that its
place Of business be closed, was the
answer of the Diener-Weis company
to bankruptcy proceedings instituted
against it which was filed with r. s.
Douthat, clerk of the bankruptcy
court yesterday morning.
The answer for the company was
prepared by William Weis, president
of the concern, which formerly oper-
ated a meat market at 1O11 Third ave-
nue..
In his answer Weis alleged that Ar
mour & Company sued out an attach
ment in a local court and "arbitrar-
lily closed up and destroyed said busi-
ness" He alleges further that the
Deiner-Weis company had ample per-
sonal property subject to attachment
and that its property in its place Of
, business was sufficient to more than
satisfy the company's claim.
He alleges further that suit ask
ing damages in the amount of $4,000
has been brought in the circuit court
Of Mason county, Kentucky, against
Armour & Company and demands that
the packing company be required to
turn over to the bankruptcy court the
property it seized.
In his answer Weis asserts the liza
bilities of the company were $2,419.6O
while the assets, including valuation
Of $1,5O0 on good will, amounted to
$3,795.9S. He charges further that the
company did weekly cash business

THE MAKING Of
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkharn's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit 10 the laboratory where this
successful remedy 10 made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have TO be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal sub
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
10 extrnct the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tanl; that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
In sterile bottles.
II is the wonderful combination Of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment Of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored TO health by the use of
Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest TO Its virtue.

SOMETHING NEW IN COLLARS
Sort OF Second Cousin to the One
Made of ceIluIoid Has Recently
Been introduced.

The separate starched collar was
invented about ninety-twO years ago
by the wife of a blacksmith living at
Troy. n. Y. who made one for her
husband. Since then it has grown in
popularity until there is probably no.
body who has not worn a starched
collar at some time or other. Now
its popularity is on the decline again,
partly on the score Of comfort and
partly as result of the war.
The crux of the matter does not
lie with the collar itself, though that
is made from material which is use
full for bandages. It's the starch that
is to be saved-valuable fOOdstuff that
ought not to be wasted on collars,
says Popular Science Monthly.
A permanently stiffened collar is
being introduced which is not cellu-
Ioid, but is a regular fabric collar
treated with kind of varnish that
makes 1t possible to clean it under the
tan or with a damp cloth. AutOmO-

Chinese Omens.

The Chinese people never associate
dreams with lobster salad. Their art.
list represents dreams pictorially by
means of spiral or curl, as of vapOr
proceeding from the dreamer's head
and broadening out until large enough
to receive the figures which enter into
and compose the dream.
They believe that gOrillas and bears
are Omens of sons, and serpents and
snakes of daughters. (The ladies have
Grandma Eve to thank for that) II
you dream of a dwarf, things will not
go we'll; your enterprise will stick
halfway and you will be a laughing
stock to all; if Of sweet perfume, you
will meet women and girls; Of BAN.

combs, there will be a separation; of
willows, you will shortly travel, and If
you dream of broken bed some Ill

RUBE OLDRING ONLY
VET WITH ATHLETICS
Connie Mack's Line-Up Has Been
Completely Changed.
Stars Of Old White Elephant Machine
Which Won Four Pennants In
Stretch Of Five Years Are Re-
placed by Youngsters.

Rube Oldrlng, persuaded TO come out
Of retirement by Connie Mack this sea-
son, is the only player on the Macklan
roster who was actively engaged in
the pennant-wlnnlng campaign of 1914,
when the Athletics won their last
American League streamer
Gone are the stars of the old White
Elephant machine which rolled through
the American league, winning four
pennants In stretch of five years,
and in their places are players upon
whom Mack is depending to regain the
laurels Of his once famous club.
The once famous infield of the old
Mackmen composed Of Baker, Barry,
Collins and McInnis, has been re-
placed by Burns. Gardner, Shannon
and Dugan. Baker Is with the Yanks,
Collins with the White Sox, McInnis
with Boston and Barry In the navy.
The old Athletic outheld has faded
away completely. Strunk has been
sent to the Red Soy ana Oldrlng has
been used ms n pinch hitter for the
most part since coming back TO the
club.
Bender, Bush, Coombs, Plank, Pen
mock, Shawkcy, Wyckoff and Bressler
were the mainstays Of Mack's pitch
ing staff only four years ago, yet not
one of them Is wearing Philadel-
phia uniform. Bender is helping
Uncle Sam build ships at Hog is
land. Bush is with the Red SOx,
Coombs with Brooklyn, Bressler with
the Reds, Plank retired and PennOck,
Shawkey and WyCkoff In the service.
Lapp, Schang and Thomas, catchers.
have also passed along, Schang being
the only one stlll classed as n star.
McAvoy, who was with the club in
1914, was n fourth string catcher at
the time and is now doing half the
backstopping for the rejuvenated club.
Gardner. Walker and Cady, from
Boston; Jameson, from Washington;
Burns, from Detroit, and Gregg and
KOpp from the International league,
have stepped into the shoes left va
cant by Mack's many deals within two
years. In short the Athletics are per-
fectly camOuilaged.

GOOD PLACE FOR YOUNGSTER
Kid Pitcher Who Worked Out So Well
in Morning Practice Saved for
Decoration Day.

Many years ago, when Connie Mack
was the Milwaukee catcher the club
opened the season with several sore
arm veteran pitchers. There was one
yOungstcr with the club who did not
complain of this trouble, so they sent
him to the slab. Milwaukee was beat
en- something like 16 to 4. The kid
pitcher was dOwncast. "The umpire
didn't give me any the best Of it" he
said by way of an alibi.
mo" replied Joe Cantillon, who had
overheard the remark; neither did the
opposing batters give you any the best
Of it,"
The kid walked off in a huff. Connie
Mack turned to CantillOn. 'Tll say this
for the boy" he said. "Tve worked
out with him every morning for the
last two weeks, and he looked mighty
good"
Cantillon pulled schedule out of
his pocket and glanced over it rapidly.
"The next morning game is on DecOra-
ton day, Connie" he remarked. Save
the kid pitcher for then"

X.RaX Reflectors.

Mica has been found an excellent
material for concentrating mirrors for
X-rayS. Glass will not do, because,
smooth as it is, it is too rough for the
extremely minute X-rays, which are
much smaller than light waves. Glass
diffuses the X-rays, much as a rough
surface diffuses light waves, but it was
found that the surface Of mineral crys-
tails were of the requisite smoothness
for rejecting X-rays, and of them mica
is the most adaptable, being readily
split into sheets.
