NEXT MONDAY
IS BARGAIN DAY

Next Monday, Aug. l., occurs the
fourth of the series of bargain
days" held monthly by so or more
merchants of the village, members of
the Medina Advertising club.
( The three sales days thus far were
successful and justify faith for
like result of the one to be held next
Monday.
AS usual the merchants are again
offering attractive bargains, as is at
tested by their respective advertise
ments occupying two whole papes in
another part Of the Sentinel.
The growing interest in these
monthly sales events shown by the
buying public, particularly of the
outlying districts from the village,
has been carefully watched by the
merchants and has proved an inspir-
alton to the latter to make each sue
cesslve sales day a little more inter-
esting and attractive than the pre-
ceding one, at least so far as pos
sible.
A noticeable element which augurs
for the continued success Of sales
day in Medina is the presence here
each month of many. new visitors
men and women from rather remote
distances from Medina, who erst-
while have confined the greater part
of their shopping to commercial cen-
ters nearer their homes. The re-
peated visits Of these people are in
terpreted as showing satisfied feel
| ing toward Medina as q trading place
and the treatment accorded them BY
her merchants.

FREE SERVICE BY
HEALTH BOARD
Inoculation of Summer Campers
Urged By State
Director
SAFEGUARD AGAINST
TYPHOID AND SMALLPOX
Vacation Time Said to be the
Period Fraught With
the Greatest
Danger.

Dr. H. H. -Snively, Safe Director of
Health, has recommended that all OF
ficers and enlisted men of the Ohio
National Guard who expect to attend
summer camp, be inoculated against
typhoid fever and smallpox. Officials
of the National Guard have made this
requirement compulsory. In order to
make this measure effective without
interfering with the real purpose of
these camps, which is military train
ing, these inoculations, where possible
should be made at least three weeks
before the men are called to camp.
The Medina county Board of Health
is prepared to give gratuitous inocu-
lation to such men in the county who
do not come in contact with medical
officer of the National Guard.
A large number of young men from
Ohio expect to attend the reserve Of
ficers' training camps to be held dur
ing the present summer. The Board
of Health will inoculate these men
against typhoid fever and smallpox
without charge. Boy Scouts, high
school boys and other individuals in
the county who expect to attend sum-
mer camps of various kinds will be
similarly cared for. -.ts....
Over ten hundred cases of smallpox
were reported in Ohio during May.
Vaccination of campers and those who
go on vacations will protect the class
of people who travel most and are
thus most liable to come in contact
with and spread the disease.
Typhoid fever is now solely sum-
mer disease, and vacation typhoid"
accounts for majority of the cases.
incubation will lrestrict the incidence
0 fthe disease to almost nil. Typhoid
fever was practically unknown among
the American soldiers exposed to the
unsanitary conditions of the Mexican
border. The recent experience in
Salem was illuminating. The attack
rate of typhoid fever among the popu-
lation was one in twelve. Among the
nearly three hundred ex-seryice men
in that city the attack rate was less
than one to fifty.
Those desiring this free service can
get in touch with the Commissioner
of Health, Gazette block, Medina, on
Monday, Wednesday or Friday from
10 to IL a. m.

mediately gave the alarm, but the
fire had gained too much headway fo1
the success Of any efforts to ex-
tinguish it.
The barn was full Of hay and
wheat, the latter having been placed
in the barn earlier in the week in
readiness for thrshing which was to

paratus was hurried to the fire, but
its efforts were futile.

grain and cattle will run into many
thousands Of dollars. The exact loss
