Society Ladies Aoopt New Hair Curling Method

Since the introduction of the slmerine method in this country, it has become quite "the proper thing" among society women, who have readily adopted it in place of the destructive curling iron. The waves and curls acquired by the new method are far more natural in appearance, and the hair of course is glossier and prettier than could be if the life were cooked out of it.
 The liquid is pleasant to use, being neither greasy nor sticky. It is a simple thing to apply with a clean tooth brush before doing up the hair. The lovely wavy effect in evil dence in about three hours is all that one could wish for. It costs little to use liquid silmerine as few ounces from the druggist will keep the Nair in curl for weeks.-Adv.

MEDINA FIRE LADDIES
WANT NEW ANNOUNCER
(Received too late for publication in
last weeks SentineD.

(Received too late for publication in
last weeks SentineD.
An effort is on foot to secure a new
sirene whistle for fire announcement.
At night firemen do not hear the fire
alarms, and in consequence all do not
respond. At times this makes for
dangerous proposition, and puts a
hardship on the boys who do hear and
respond. With new sirene all
could hear and if big fire should
ever break out there would be neces-
sity for every fireman on the job.
"A new sirene will cost in the neigh
borhood of $500. As Council has no
money with which to purchase one the
firemen are themselves planning to
raise the money in other ways. A
series of firemen's dances will be CIV
en- to raise part of the money, the
firemen are intending to make person
al subscriptions, and then the bust
ness men-the men who will greatly
benefit by it's installation-will be
asked to make public donations. In
this way, or in these ways, it is be-
lieved it will be an easy matter to
raise the $500.
The fire laddies have been faithful
and efficient in the past. They wish
to maintain this record and to that
end want new fire signal that will
give them warning so they may be on
hand in time. That the people of Me
dina will respond to their wishes in
the matter of new fire call goes
without argument.

N. O. RY. IMPROVEMENTS
BEGIN TO MATERIALIZE

Un type, but unavoidably held over
from last weeks Sentinel.)
The N. O. Ry. Co. is certainly. max
ing plans for many improvements and
reports say some Of them will be in
stalled within the next few weeks.
One improvement will come in re-
ceiving the 9 new locomotives now
building for the line.
The Medina depot is to be made
an all-night Office, with three oper-
ators on 8 hour shifts.
Trains will run thru to Britain
yards in Akron, thus insuring service
into the business district of the city.
Automatic gates are to be erected
at all the crossings within Medina
city limits.
The Medina agent wouldn't confirm
OF deny the rumor within two
months trains would be running be-
tween Medina and Akron, on local
schedule, but the information promis-
ing this seems to have solid founda
ton. The company certainly has
gas cars ready for some service, and
there are more of these cars than the
lines now using them require.
