Doris was very happy in the
weeks following her restoration to
grace. She went about from lee
ture to concert with a chiIdishly
absorbing interest: many after
Moons she accompanied Mrs. Du-
rand to teas. where her shy. girl
ish hesitancy attracted admiring
attention among men in tow of
clever" wives. who treated her
with patronizinG condescension. She
was even beginning to enjoy the
horse back rides with Juliet and
was naively unaware that her en-
joyment reached it's height at tea
at the clubhouse, where Harvey
Gatewood paid her fiattering attention

The first meeting with Mrs. Stew

Doris had dreaded. passed off grace
fully under the perfect tact and
sweetly forgiving attitude of the
charming widow. Lila Demarest
she rarely saw; the girl seemed
to grow paler and more quiet each
day of her husbands prolonged
stay.
One morning they met at Jane
DiXon's current topics lecture. Doris
slipped into a seat beside Lila who
was sitting with her hands folded
listlessly in her lap and her eyes
turned toward the window where
a cold winter rain was falling.

DON'T GIVE UP THE SHIP,
OLD DEARS!
Highest-paid Woman Writer

Not long ago l made inquiries
concerning an old friend of mine.
Dead" was the reply. up to a
year ago he was as hale and hearty
an old man as you could find any
where. Head clear as a bell. Judg-
ment sound. Body vigorous. but
his wife nagged at him about work
ing too hard until she made him sell
out his business and retire.
She asked why he should be a
slave to his business any longer
when they had more money than
they could use, and no children to
leave it to. and she had an idea that
he could be perfectly happy loafng
around home, or raising Belgian
hares or roses for an exciting diver
sion. Fancy a man who has been
geared up to high speed for fifty
years. coming down to a Belgian hare
gait, and one who has been pitting
his wits against the sharpest brains
in the financial world, getting any
thrill out of developing a new shade
in a rose.
He couldn't do II. Business was

and for lack of any vital interest in
life. He didn't live a year, and yet
am convinced that he would have
been good for twenty years more if
he had only kept on at his job"
The same day i meet a woman
whom I had always known as strong
and healthy, and capable in body.
and cheerful and optimistic in
spirits. She looked suddenly old,
and gray. and shrunken. and feeble,
and she was gloomy and peevish in
temper.

asked.
"Oh. haven't any flowers any
more" she replied. "Tve given up

that l should live by myself. So /

Then suddenly a voice near them
said, That's the trouble with all of

then something happens"
Nancy and Nick looked around
curiously, and there sat Mrs. Toad
crying,

"And are they lost now like our

NO." said the toad, they're not.
That's the trouble. They're over
there on the road where Sammy
Snake Is lying In the sun. They're
inside Of him."
Inside Of him?" cried the twins
Yes nodded poor Mira Toad.
The Washington herald., 1920-02-23

I'll go right home and tell mamma"
That wouldn't do any good" said
Mrs. Toad sadly. But IL you'll just
please go and tell Patrick Pig, it
may help some"
So the twins hunted up the pig. and
sure enough he knew exactly what
to do. He marched right over to
where Sammy Snake was sleeping
and smiling in the sun and said,
Now, Sam, I've had 4 mind to MAKE
a meal of YOU for ever SO long. anc
I sure will IL you don't give UP
those toads. Now open your mouth
quick"
There was nothing else for Sam
my to do. He just had to open ms
mouth and all the little toads hop
ped out one at a time and ran
across the meadow to their mother.
And the twins were happy, be-
cause they had helped somebody out
OF trouble again.

Don't Use Salyes


The old-fashioned idea of apply
ing some kind of grease or salve
for cuts. bruises, burns and
scratches has no place in modern
nursing. Today we clean up the
wound with a good antiseptic So
luton and according to the nature
of the injury dress with dry or
wet dressing. II it Is a clean cut
made with a sharp instrument pull
the two wounds together after
washing; wiring out a pad of gauze
in the antiseptic solution and place
It over the cut and fasten it to
place with a gauze bandage. To
keep the whole dressing in place
one or two strips of zinc oxide
adhesive plaster may be spiraled
about the dressing and attached to
the skin below to anchor il.
Wounds heal by first and second
intention. The first means that the
edges come together and heal at
once by the serum that is thrown
out. Second intention means that
granulations take place and new
cells are formed which is a longer
process. A clean cut will general
ly close in the aforementioned way,
~ hCdA Jdb6Su Cut hcdtS SLOWLY
in the latter way. To keep it clean
and exclude the air is all the nurse
has, to do. Nature does the rest.
In putting on dressing 1t is
important to remember that in ap-
plying a bandage pressure must be
evenly applied beginning at the ex-
tremity and not tied around the
middle of a limb endangering the
circulation. AS an example a
wound between the ankle and knee
requires a bandage starting at the
foot and making gradual pressure
past the point of the wound
On burns alone it is permissible
to treat with oil They may be
covered with soft linen rags dipped
in olive oil to exclude the air and
lightly bandased.

SAVED FROM THE LAW
BY WIFE HE DESERTED

Tired Of the paramour for whom he
deserted his wife and five minor
children on Nov. A, Joseph c. Bow
man returned to his home in Wads-
worth last week, leaving the girl, An
ma Mathe, a 15-year-old Hungarian
lass, at Chatham, Canada.
On his return to Wadsworth, Bow
man went direct to his home, where
he was affectionately greeted by. the
woman he had so cruelty sorrowed
and disgraced. But the reunion was
interrupted soon after by Marshal
Lucas, with an order for Bowman to
appear before Mayor Boyer.
When the case came up, Bowman's
wife plead for his release on the
ground that his support was needed
at home. This was apparent to
Mayor Boyer, and Bowman was
paroled to the custody of his wife.
It was made plain to Bowman that
SO long as he does right his freedom
will not be intruded upon, but hence
forth his first departure from the
straight and narrow" will result in
his being turned over to federal au-
thorities.

AUXILIARY FORMED

A woman's auxiliary to the Ameri-
can Legion was formed in Medina last
week in the parlor of the Winyah club,
resulting in the election of the follow
ing officers:
President, Mrs. H. P. H. Robinson;
vice president, Mrs. W. O. Kindig; Sec
retary, Mrs. j. F Berger; treasurer.
Mrs. Leland Longacre.
On account of the stormy weather
at the time, there were not many at
the meeting. Nevertheless much in
terest is being manifested, and indica-
tions point to large and active or
ganization.
Application has already been made
for charter,the membership of which
is to be confined to ten. These ten mem
bers, not yet secured, are to be Gold
Star members, or those who lost a

The charter will be left open until such
time as this class of membership can

a little boy or girl, or an old man or
old lady who are not going to have

If you have any children's cloth
ing, stockings or overcoats, ages from
one to Is years, that you can spare,
will you send it to the Sylvester Ii
brary before Friday noon of this
week? It will there be sorted and

MAY HAVE ANOTHER
CITY MAIL CARRIER

Medina village patrons of the local
postoffice will get better mail service
in the near future if the authorities
at Washington heed request which
was made last week, that an extra
carrier be assigned to the city work.
Medina village has but three local
carriers-the same number which
were assigned here when the free de-
livery service was started IA years
ago. During this time the amount
Of mail handled thru this channel has
increased four fold, and the parcels
post system has tended further to
make heavier deliveries until it is
now physically impossible for three
carriers to make more than one trip
some days.
Should the postofiice officials accede
to the request for this additional
help, it will be possible for all city
carriers to make their two deliveries
a day in the eight hours which the
government allows them on duty.

MEDIN SOON TO HAVE
NEW COUNTY AGENT

According to information given out
at the Farm Bureau office this week,
Medina is to have a new County
Farm Agent before long. y
For some time the bureau committee
has been looking around for a man
who could qualify for the position
and who was in a position to accept
the appointment. A few weeks ago
, the committee got in touch with such
a candidate in R. H. HaIderson of
Elkins, W. Va, who has been county
agent there for the past five years,
aud whose record is said to have PROV
ed exceptionally high.
Mr.. Halderson was in Medina last
week for conference with the bureau
committee and for the purpose of
looking over the field. According
to Mr.. Brant Early, executive secre-
tary of the Farm Bureau, Mr.. Hal
der1nan expressed himself as very
favorably impressed. He stated, said
Early, that his acceptance would only
be contingent upon the result of a
visit to three other counties that are
without agents and who have extend
ed to him a position. Two of these
counties are in Illinois and the other
in Indiana. Mr.. Halderson felt it
a duty, he said, to visit these counties
altho he felt almost certain that he
would decide to come to Medina, and
would be able to make an early de-
cision.

Patrons of the Stefngass & Bradway
store who had not yet been waited on
about o'clock Saturday afternoon,
had the pleasure of witnessing a
physical set-to between VIM. Morgan
and Happy Harry Russell. What
started the rumpus is best known by
the principals. Suffice to say, how
ever, that uppercuts were being dealt
out in hunks before those in the store
could get their bearings, the honors
it is said, being about even when the
two men were at last pried loose from
each other. Happy Harry" is a
much smaller man than Morgan, but
the difference was in measure off
set, say those who were there by Har-
ry implanting two strong blows in
Bills face before the latter had time
to fall on him. In the melee show
case was broken.
