SPLIT BY LOCALS
Maysville Wins Sensational Game on
Sunday But Up.Rlyer Club Take
Mondays Contest-By Far the
Best Series Of the Year.

In the most interesting Of any series
OF games played here Maysville and
Portsmouth divided honors with one
game each. Both were pitchers duels
from start to finish, Boskins out
pitching both Townsend and Rollins
for the visitors and winning his ten
inning game 4 to g. In the Monday
game Townsend came back far more
effective and bested Burg who was
slightly wild and not as steady as his
opponent in the pinches.
The first game was a thriller from
the word go, featured with seemingly
impossible catches by Slayback, Wei
mer and Kuhn, and Boskin's good
pitching who got getter as he went
along retiring the side in the ninth
and tenth innings with six strike-outs
and Slayback's home run in the tenth
stopping the game in sensational man.

c|T|zE|IS OF REC.
TQRvILLE Want TO
Be vAcc|NATED
Health Education In Mason County Is
Producing the Desired Results
Many Seek Vaccination.

Dr, v d. Guittard, County Health
Officer issues this statement in con-
nection with smallpox in the Rector
vile section:
The members Of the Mason County
Health League have just cause to con-
gratulate themselves. Other people
who have helped in the health move
ment In the city and county also have
reason to rejoice. Their efforts are
being rewarded, their work begins to
show results.
The Health Director was called to
see a case Of smallpox in Dectoryille
Monday forenoon. The case was quar-
antined without sign of protest from
the family in question, and the amaz-
ing thing was that the we'll members
of the family requested to be vaccinat-
ed. A supply of vaccine was obtained
and in the afternoon of the same day,
the Director, assisted by the city and
county nurses, vaccinated twenty-sev-
en- people in the village. Every one Of
these persons presented themselves
voluntarily to receive protection from
loathsome disease.
The fine spirit Of intelligence dis
played by the people of Rectorville Is
certainly to be commended. And all
those who have helped in any way to
bring about the change from the old
days of shotgun quarantine to the
present day willing isolation to pro-
tect others, all such people may know
that the bread cast upon the waters
has returned in intelligent cooperation
to prevent disease.
And may other communities follow
the example of Rectorville, not COM
pulsory vaccination but voluntary vac
cination based upon the knowledge
that sure means to prevent the
frightful disease, smallpox, is at hand.
Any case occurring in an unpro-
tected and unvaccinated community is
apt to be of a severe type, Just as were
the cases before vaccination was prac-
ticed.
Every one presenting themselves at
the Mason County Health Office will
be vaccinated free of charge
The Health Department Tuesday
morning was informed that there were
fifty residents of the Rectorville
neighhorhood ready to be vaccinated
and the local officials went there to
make the vaccinations.

"Experience"

Lyric theatre. "Experience' has
 been presented with unusual success
 at the stock playhouse, achieving
 distinct triumph because of its beau
 ty and artistry. The production is
 one of exceptional scenic value, while the dramatic story has charm and novelty all it's own.
 The coStuning in many Of the scenes has awakened much applause from the theatre-goers, while the IA different settings which mark the pro- gress of the story are beautiful and artistic.
 All in all, Experience" is a produc- ton of which the Lyric forces are proud, and justly so, for a play of its magnitude, detail and cost has never | before been attempted in the history 1 of the stock stage, either in Bridge 1 port or anywhere else
 | Bridgeporters who like the good 1 things of the theatre may rest assured | that they are in for really entertain | ing and wholesome morsel. ''Exper- | ience'' stands head and shoulders above any play that has come to the 1 Park City in several years.

WORLDS OLDEST MAN
 IS A XEGIETARIAN

Paris, Dec. 29.-Djuro Chemdine, the oldest man in the world, began life before the American War of Indepen- dence and should be able to furnish "reminiscences of wonderful kind.
 Unfortunately he is illiterate, and appears to have confined himself dur ing his three half centuries strictly to his personal affairs. He remembefs the hanging of the Greek Patriarch Gregory in 1921, and he knows some thing of the terror of the Janissaries, but beyond that his mind is more or less blank.
 Chemdine has an enormous appe- tite, but he is vegetation, as he al- ways has been, living on vegetable stews and fruits. He is very fond of sweetmeats. He never takes wine or alcohol in any form. and drinks wa ter, and milk when he can get it. It is more surprising, perhaps, that he does not smoke, tobacco always hav- ing made him ill. He appears to have no ideas on the subject of dietary and health regime, but is content with his 200 pounds of aVoirdupo1s.

EXCESSIVE PRESERVATION.

Several women have written to me recently asking why they should sui fer from excessive precipitation Tn cold weather In most cases, I can see from the letters that the cause is nothing bu: nervousness.
 Very few people know that nerves have this curious effect upon the pores of the skin though, of course, >vous shock or a long nervous strain will bring out a cold and clam1ny moisture over the face and hands. l knew one woman of a slightly emo tional temperament who cannot wear gloves during a concert or an opera because her hands get hot and wiring ing wet. This Is simple due to a ner- vous reaction on her part, and it is quite common People who have very nervous temperaments are all ways bothered with precipitation of the hands or under the arms.
 I know of one excellent formula which will lessen excessive perspira- tion, and which will neutralize any disagreeable odors. It is perfectly simiv<e and harmless and Is made as fellows:
 Epsom salts .......,....- oz.
 Wheat bran .....-..--- 1.2 pint
 Mix this and let 1t stand over ounces of the best quality bay rum- Ygu can use this as often you wish. It will stimulate the skin and make 1t healthier and thus do away precipitation. Is would be harmful to stop the natural amount of perspira- ton. so I never advise the patient fCrmulae that come for this.
