People Notice It. Drive Them
Off with DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets

A pirnply face will not embarrass you
much longer if you get a package of
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets. The skin
should begin to clear after you have
taken the tablets few nights.
Cleanse the blood, bowels and liver
with DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the
successful substitute for calomel; there's
no sickness or pain after taking them.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets do that
which calomel does, and just as effec-
lively, but their action is gentle and
safe instead of severe and irritating.
No one who takes Olive Tablets is
ever cursed with a dark brown taste" /"
a bad breath, a dull, listless, mo good"
feeling, constipation, torpid liver, bad
disposition or pimply face.
Olive Tablets are a purely vegetable
compound mixed with olive oil; you
will know them by their olive color.
DR.. Edwards spent years among pa
tients afflicted with liver and bowel
complaints and Olive Tablets are the
immensely effective result. Take one or
two nightly for a week. See how much
better you feel and look. l5c and 30c.

The Los Angeles Endemic

There is no reason to doubt that
the mysterious disease which has
appeared in the Mexican quarter of
Los Angeles is the pneumonia
plague. DR.. Pascoe, acting city
health officer, calls it that, and the
circumstances of its appearance, as
well as its extreme mortality, point
in this direction. In its appearance
there is no cause for a panic, and
there Is no reason why there should
be the slightest hesitation In MAX
ing known all the facts as fast as
they are ascertained. Although it is
one of the deadliest of diseases, it
is relatively easy to suppress pro-
vided drastic measures are taken in
time, and thus far it seems to be
confined to a few spots in one part
of Los Angeles. It should be pos
sible to prevent the spread of the
epidemic from its point of origin,
but to put the authorities and the

MRS. SUSAN FINNEY ONE OF
YHE GIRLS In PRIZE WAGON

The GAINESVILLE Sunday Times
SigHal of Oct. 26 carried the fol-
lowing, written by Thos. w. Lewis,
and which will be of interest to
Morgan county people, and particu-
larly those living or who have liv-
ed. in the sections written about:
b. v. Woodburn, of FuItonham,
writes to know If we remember the
Broqgh- gh-Vallandigham campaign of
1893. We do, but only in q general
way. Mr.. Woodburn, however,
participated in that campaign and
tells very interestingly about it.
The political style Of that day was
SO different from what it is now
that we borrow here from Mr..
WGodburns story, which by con-
trast brings out the difference sug-
geSted.

William Crouch OF South Olive, o.
Mrs. Tannehill had been frail for
several years, but had recently
grown much stronger and on the day
preceding her death was feeling M
usually we'll. She attended church
that evening and retired abont D
o'clock as usual. Shortly after nndd-
night Mr.. Tannehill was awakened
by her heavy breathing, and turn
ing on the light he found her aI~
ready dying, and before anyone
could be summoned she had gone.
The burial took place in the cem-
etery at st. Paris on the following
Monday, being deferred awaiting the
arrival of Ivan from Texas.
The deceased had been a member
of the Baptist church since she was
a small girl, being converted in the
old Manchester church in Noble
county.-XX.

Bloom township election house.
When the OK team began the march
to McConnelsville large section of
the townships Democrats fell in
behind. Some were afoOt, some on
horseback and some in wagons and
buggies. In due time Comeback
hill was descended and the caval-
cade was in McConnelsville.
The Marshal Objected
But the towns street intersec-
tions were not spacious enough for
Bloom townships float and oxen.
The team and the wagon together
made q line which blocked traffic.
This would never do, the town mar
shall decided, SO he rode up and
protested. "Captain" Huffman sug-
gested that the team be gee'd or
haw'd around alongside the wagon,
and the young driver was equal to
the demand. He did it from the
seat.
Rewarded Ben
The spectators saw in this
mighty smart feat for one so young,
and they showered Ben with pea
nuts. popcorn and candy. And Ben
was kind Of diamond in the rough
that day. His wardrobe consisted
of an old straw hat, a cotton shirt
and everyday trousers. At any rate
Bloom townships oxen, wagon and
red, white and blue girls won the
grand prize. Mr.. Woodburn be-
lieves that of all those who rode In
that prize wagon in 1863 only Mrs.
Susan Finney, of McConnelsville,
and himself now survive.
This shows how ruthlessly time
has swept farmer girls away during
the past 81 years. And the Old
Destroyer has not stopped there.
Is there yoke of oxen left in
Bloom township, or a farmer boy
capable of driving 10-yoke team,
or a carpenter willing to make a
log wagon-or 32 girls willing to
boost the Democratic cause?

Apples Keep Best In Cool Moist
STORAGE


Apples keep best if carefully
handled at picking time, placed at
once in cool storage, with ample
moisture and free circulation of
fresh air, according to j. FL. Gour-
ley, horticulturist at the Ohio Agri-
cultural Experiment Station.
..The first essential in the success
ful storage of fruit is careful hand
ling.
"A sound, properly matured ap-
pie goes through definite series of
changes. and storage does not stop
but only retards these processes
which eliminate in ripening and
final decay. If fruit, after picking,
is placed where the temperature is
high it will ripen rapidly, but il
placed in a temperature slightly
above freezing it will have it's max
imum keeping quality.
Storing fruit in barns or warm
cellars for several days does much
to vitiate the value of storage. 1t
has been estimated that fruit will
ripen as much in day at a temper
ature of so degrees as in eight to
ten days at 80 degrees.
"A dry storage will result in a
whiting or shriveling of fruit. Com
mon storage houses or cellars are
often provided with moisture by set
ting tubs or pals of water in them
or by soaking the earth or gravel
floor. Storage may be constructed
over a running spring.
"Some means of ventilation
should be provided to let in cool air
from the outside. But the passing
of air over the fruit will result in
shriveling unless moisture in the
room is maintained. About so to
85 percent of humidity is best for
ideal storage"

Horse Power

Horse power or "H. P" is so fre-
quently used that many have been
puzzled as to just what it means and
how the words were originated.
The originator of the term "horse-
power" was a Scotch engineer, Jas.
Watt, (1736-1819) who invented the
modern condensing steam engine.
He selected heavy dray horse, a
dozen muscular men, and by means
of rope and traces, beginning
with four men, added man after
man pulling against the horse, un-
til he found that when eight men
were pulling they balanced the
horses strength.
Then continuing his experiment
he found that horse could lift, by
means of block and tackle, $50
pounds at rate of 100 feet per
minute, which, of course, was the
same as lifting $4,000 pounds one

DELMER GLENN GETTING
SPLENDID RECOGNITION

The National Stockman and
Farmer under date of Nov. 8 con-
tanned the following which will be
read with keen interest throughout
the county: "Delmer M. Glenn OF
McConnelsville, o., stood first in
the essay contest on why Farm
Boy Should Attend the Ohio State
Fair The prize is four-year
scholarship to the Ohio State Uni
versity offered Jointly by the Col
lege of Agriculture and the Ohio
State fair management In cash
value the prize is worth about $500.
Owing to the fact that the contest
the state fair when the essay had to
be turned in, only IA boys entered.
Mr.. Glenn entered the university at
the commencement Of the fall quar-
ter and is taking an agricultural
course. Fair Manager Lewis says
that the offer will be repeated next
year and will be announced at an
earlier date. He hopes to have a
large number of farm boys COM
peting."
We should add that this prize of
Mr.. Glenn's includes all Of his ex-
penses, outside of his board and
clothing, ait the o. S. U. for four
years. This is not the only recog-
milton that has come to him. Two
years ago in the stock judging con-
test at the state fair, he stood Sec
ond in the horse and cattle Judging,
out of a class of 500. 1t will also
be recalled that this paper about a
year ago published an essay which
took third place in contest given
by the Ohio Farmer, on the subject
Why dad should have pure blood
stock, and why Shorthorn cattle. !"
Last spring an agriculture test was
given by the state, and he took
first prize in southeastern Ohio.
Some 500 took this test, and of that
mum Der but 20 passed in the state.
The prize was equal to $3.50.
Mr.. Glenn graduated last spring
from our M. & M. school, and his
accomplishments speak well for the
foundation laid here in the schools
of the county, also for his splendid
home life, and home surroundings.
He is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. G.
Glenn OF Meigsville.
There is Nothing that this paper
likes to record better than the ac-
complish ments of such worthy young
people as Edgar Glenn. Would that
the county had more of such.

foot minute, or $50 pounds in one
second; accordingly he designated
his steam engines and sold them on
that basis. That is known as me-
chanical horse power.
745,940 watts is equivalent In
electric units to one mechanical
horse power; in practical calcula-
tions the basis of a horse power,
however, is TAG watts, hence kilo-
watt (1,0O0 watts) represents
1.3405 horse power Of mechanical
work.

public on their guard full publicit
should be insisted upon.
How the disease was brought to
Los Angeles is unexplained, but it is
suggestive that native haunts of
the pneumonia plague are in Man
chura and Mongolia, and that from
time to time it invades China. The
proximity of Los Angeles to the
Mexican border and the frequent eff
forts of Chinese to enter the United
States by that route suggest possi-
BILE explanation, and the Mexican
authorities should by all means
make careful search for possible
cases on their side of the frontier.
The first case in Los Angeles was
that of Mrs. Lucina Samarano, who
was attacked on October Is and
died four days later. The infec-
tions nature of the pneumonia
which caused her death was not
suspected, and funeral was per-
mitted. But few days later her
husband and another person who at
tended the funeral died, and the to-
tai of deaths up to Saturday was IA,
with number of new cases report
ed. But they all appear to be con-
nected with the original case and
probably do not greatly increase
the difficulty of heading off the
epidemic.
II the pneumonia form of the
plague kills swiftly. it ALSO dies out
quickly; ordinarily it can be sup
pressed at the outset more readily
than the bubonic form which from
time to time has reached an Ameri-
can seaport compelling energetic
particularly against rats,
which are not carriers of the pneu-
monic plague. If DIR. Pascoe's dag
nosis is correct the outbreak at Los
Angeles Is a serious matter and of
national concern, but no cause for
panic.-Springfield, Mass. Rep.
