Miss Estelle Cotton Bride of John Russell Webb of MaryIand-New Jurors Called From Berlin and Kensington.
In the Berlin court this morning

In the Berlin court this morning G. IA. Ventres was before Judge Gris- wo1d charged with the theft of
 wrenches, tire tools, a service coat and
 an 8dto jack on June g. It was on
 this day that William H. Oldach, a
 registered optometrist whose office is
 East 23rd street, New York city, was passing through here and his car broke down. He made inquiries and was directed to Ventres' repair shop and left his car there. Ventres fixed the car and Oldach came to Berlin on
 JuIS@ 8 for his property and found
 after arriving in New York that most
 all of his tools were missing and an old jack and a few other tools left in place. In a letter written from Ven tres to Oldach, Ventres claims that there were some tools in his gara ge and that they may have been Oldach's S E as they did not belong to him. Oldach in court this morning claimed that his car was used in his absence as a ser vice car as it was all spattered with mud and he had to run from Berlin to New York on three cylinders Ventres claimed the tools should be \ in court as evidence. The accused
 was discharged and upon the advice
 of the authorities Oldach will bring

EASING The CARES
OF SOLDIERS FAMILIES

The ten thousand Home Service Sec
lions Of the American Red Cross, in
their work Of looking after the fami-
lies of the enlisted men, are doing Won
ders for the morale Of the army. Our
fighters are not men who are going to
worry about themselves, but If they do
not, get cheerful letters from home, or
If anything goes wrong there, they are
going to worry. and that delicate thing
the army men call morale Is going to
be disturbed. 1t is to safeguard
against this and also to prevent need
less suffering and to promote that spir-
1t Of neighborliness and kindly aid that
binds each community into an organic
whole that the Home Service was or
ganized.
Over $4,000 workers are serving on
these ten thousand committees, which
reach into every corner Of the country,
however remote. Not town or VII

To Plan Flu War If 1t Re-appears

Plans for combating another infu-
enza epidemic which is expected to
sweep the country in 1919 will be con-
sidered by health authorities from all
parts of the United States, Canada and
South America at the forty-sixth annual
convention of the American Public
Health Association, which opened in
Chicago Monday.
Members Of the association say that
all the influenza epidemics since 1925
have been recurrent for from two to
three years after the initial outbreak
For this reason leading authorities feel
convinced that the visitation Of 1917
will be repeated in 1919 and probably
in 1920. Also ii is pointed out that ir
previous epidemics the second and third
outbreaks have been more virulent and
attended by higher mortality rate than
were the initial manifestations.
1t was early in 1918, according to DR..
w. A. Evans, former health commits
sioner Of Chicago, that the now social
ed Spanish influenza made its appear
ance in Spain. Now Spain is having
its second outbreak, according to DR..
Evans, more virulent in form and at.
tended by an alarming death rate.

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

A visit to the laboratory where this
successj ul remedy is made impresse.s
even the casual looker-on with the reii-
ability accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making OF this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 600 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 SUD-
stances are at their best. ,
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as a final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles. .
It 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 or
lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pup-
fishing attest to its virtue.

AMERICANS FIGHT
GERMS IN ITALY
tuberculosis Experts Sent by
Red Cross Will Use Lat
est Methods.

Included In the unit of medical and
lay workers which the American Red
Cross has sent to Italy are a number
of the leading antl-tuberculosis work
ers of the country, sponsored by the
National tuberculosis Association.
DR.. William Charles White, who heads
the unit, Is medical director Of the
tuberculosis League Of Pittsburgh,
and DR.. Robert II. Bishop, the assist
ant director, Is secretary Of the Anti
tuberculosis League Of Cleveland as
we'll as health commissioner Of that
city. DR.. John II. Lowman Of Cleve-
land, a former president Of the Ma
tional Association, Is another promi-
nent member Of the unit. Others are
Dr. Robert G. Patterson, secretary OF
the Ohio tuberculosis Association;
Seymour H. Stone, until recently sec
rotary of the Massachusetts Anti-Tu-
berculosis League; DIR. Gertrude Stur-
gis, secretary of the New York City
Association of tuberculosis Clinics,
and n. A. Nelson, superintendent of the
Cincinnati Anti-Tuberculosis League.
These men and women, at the re-
quest of the Italian government, will
cooperate with that country in apply
ing the latest approved American
methods for combating the spread of
tuberculosis. Some Of them will be
charged with the establishment of
clinics where people Of all ages may
be examined and treated; others will
devote their attention particularly to
preventing tuberculosis among chill
dren, and third group will develop
health publicity and education.
1t is to the credit Of the anti-tuber-
culosis campaign in America that 1t
has produced specialists Of such inter-
national standing that Italy wishes to
call them into her service temporarily.
But the campaign will be continued
unremlttingly here at home. Its sup
port during the ensuing year will be
derived not as heretofore from the
sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals, but
by a special appropriation made by the
Red Cross to the National Tuberculo-
sis Association. tuberculosis workers
on their side will line up with the Red
Cross in its Christmas Roll Call for
universal membership.

CARGO OF SUPPLIES
GOES TO ARCHANGEL
Red Cross Sends Relief Ships for
Allied Soldiers and Civilians
in Starving Russia.

A relief ship was recently sent from
this country to Archangel by the
American Red Cross with 1900 tons
of drugs, food, soap and other sup
plies for the use of the Allied soldiers
and needy civilians In that part OF
Russia. The vessels cargo was val
ued at sl,511, 233.
Later, another ship was dispatched
carrying 200 tons of similar supplies
furnished by the American Red Cross
the total expenditure for the two snip
ments amounting to over S2,ooo'ooo'
Major G. T. Williams Of Baltimore
was in charge Of the party OF thirteen
which accompanied the shipment from
this country. He was formerly men,
Der of the Red Cross Commission 1or
RoumanIa. Major Kirkpatrick, at one
time a member of the latter commits
sion. but recently attached to the
Army Medical Corps, heads the medl-
cal end Of the Archangel expendition.
Drugs and general hospital supplies.
constituted the greater part OF lhe
cargo sent from America.
While the chief concern OF the ex-
pedition was providing comforts for
r American and Allied fighting men In
that part of the world, all efforts were
bent to get relief to the Russian SOL
diers who were returned from Ger
man prison camps at the rate OF about
$4,000 a week. The condition OF these
men was pitiable. 1t has been esu-
mated that 90 per cent. Of them were
tubercular.
I'm addition to drugs and food, al
most every imaginable article on the
list of supplies sent over was Tor tne
comfort, convenience and pleasure OF
the Allied soldiers. Just a few OF
these articles were playing CARDS,
razor blades, jewsharps, mandolins'
-accordeons, ukaleles, phonographs'
cameras, skates, wigs, whisKers'
grease paints, footballs, snowshoes'
slippers, hockey outfits, indoor base
balls, moving picture outfits Bioies'
prayer abooks, boxing gloves, games,
music, books, cigarettes, candy ana
dried fruits.
The need of prompt relief for the
inhabitants Of towns along the coast
of the White Sea and on the kola
peninsula, many Of whom were facing
starvation, was found to be impera-
tive. Scurvy had broken out among
the people at these places, adding to
the general distress.
The towns to which the RELIEF ex-
pendition was sent are virtually $50
lated from the outside world because
of the treacherous coast line, shifting
sand bars and uncharted waters. AN
exceptionally early frost, even for that
part Of the world, ruined the harvests'
which were expected to improve con-
ditions. Statements, printed In Rus
sian, explaining the work OF the Red
Cross, were distributed among the In
habitants.

They have knoYn very well the rishs
they were taking-the two thousanu
and more. women who have gone W
France for varied services under Inc
American Red Cross, ana the more
than nine thousand nurses whom the
American Red Cross has assigned to
foreign duty under the United states
Army and Navy Nurse Corps,
They went under orders, as soldiers
do; prepared for any emergencies, as
soldiers do; they assumed many
strange and unforeseen tasks, as SOL
diers do. Literally. they went as
fighters, against pain, disease and
death.
A mobile surgical unit" Of nurses
those words don't mean very much,
perhaps, the first time we hear them.
But see such an unit follow an army
up to an advanced post; see how the
nurses work with steady hands beside
the surgeons as the stretchers with the
newly wounded are brought in. See
thousands of them in evacuation hos
pitfalls, base hospitals, convalescent
hospitals, tuberculosis hospitals; some
of them in French military hospitals
where sometimes our men are sent |;
see them with their specialized skill
In head surgery, or fracture work, or
psychlatry all these women who
keep head and hand cool and steady,
when the ambuiances unload great
harvests of wounded. Then we say
the words "Our Nurses" as we say
"Our Soldiers" "Our Sailors" "Our
Marines"
On the night of March 25th, when
the Germans were fast advancing, and
already within six kilometers of
Annel, an outpost Of Compiegne, two
American doctors remained, who un-
der order of the French government,
had sent the patients and personnel
of their hospital farther back the
night before. The artillery was deaf
ening, but the American Ambulance
sections kept bringing their wounded
to Annel. These doctors said that as
long as the American boys brought
them wounded they would operate.
Two nurses volunteered from Com
piegne, and so in the deserted chateau
the two surgeons, the two nurses and
the ten drivers worked calmly on,
while the buzz of aeroplanes shook
the air, and the blasting guns shook
the earth.

Fight in the Ranks of the Red Cross Against

by the Serbians, and still again when
1t was taken back by the Germans anu
Austrians together, an American Red
Cross nurse, Mary Gladwin, worked
in the operating room. In that first
capture, when nine thousand wounded
crowded the wards and halls and yard

and night without stopping, giving to
each operation an average Of six min

city had been taken until all the
stretchers brought Austrian wounded,
and Austrian doctors came to their
relief.
Several hundred women are work.
ing over there In the American Red
Cross canteens. There are about two
hundred of these canteens along the
French and American lines of COM
munication, and the women are work
ing under great pressure, feeding
thousands of soldiers. The Red Cross
is also establishing canteens by mill
tary request at number Of Aviation
Camps. American women conduct
these stations, comprising canteen and
club and reading room. Everyone OF
these canteens has something OF the
genius of home about 1t; and 1t Is
because Of this, no less than the ia
cilities for cleanliness and rest and
refreshment, that the French govern
ment has given the responsibility for
maintaining canteens for both armies
to the hands of the American Red Cross.
In large numbers women are going
abroad as hospital hut workers, also,
and as social workers for trained
service among the refugees and the
repatriated. At each base hospital the
Red Cross is equlpping, as fast as they
can be built, recreation huts for con-
valescent soldiers.

legislators Get Ready For Session

In anticipation Of the opening OF tne
legislative session at Charleston inc
second week in January, newly-elected
delegates are preparing draft OF oills
which will be introduced. The eil
covering the proposed statewide edu
cational code has already been prepared
il is understood, in accordance WITH
recommendations made at various
teachers institutes during the pas
year.
If bill drafted by Delegate Waite
M. Morris, of Mt. Claire, is passed, the
dogs of the State will be even more IN
comfortable than they are under the
bill drafted and enacted in 1917. The
Morris bill has been approved at
meeting of the stockmen Of Harrison
county, where it was declared that the
principal defect in the present law is
proper lack of definitions fixing re-
sponsibility for the enforcement of the
provisions Of the existing statute. In
the proposed Morris bill officers Of the
law who neglect or refuse to search
out and destroy dogs without license
tags would be made liable to punish
ment for a misdemeanor.

FOR ITALY'S BABIES.

Motherhood in Italy just now Is not
the Joy that it might be, for the poor
women are at their wits ends to clothe
the children already In the family, not
to mention the preparation for the lit
tie newcomers. Perhaps the most ap-
-preciated gifts Of the American Red
Gross at this time are the layettes
which are being given to the mothers
of Italy. Each layette consists or
twenty-four pieces and includes four
bright colored swathing bands, so dear
to the heart of the italian woman.
Twenty layettes a week are needed at
Chioggla alone.
