BRISTOL LAD DIES SOON
AFTER RECEIVING INJURY

The following sketch concerning
Rufus X. Henderson whose death
was brought about under very un-
usual circumstances, was furnished
by our writer at Meigs:
Rufus X. Henderson who suffered
the compound fracture of his arm
while jumping the rope at school
Wednesday of last week, developed
gangrene and was taken Friday to
Bethesda hospital, where his con-
dition was found to be beyond med
ical and surgical aid. His malady
was said to be very rare and his
decline was rapid, his death occur
ring at 7:15 Sunday morning. The
body was brought to the Miller un-
dertaking parlors and prepared for
burial, and later was taken to the
home of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
David Henderson, the Brown farm
near the Lebanon M. f. church, in
Bristol township where funeral SER
vices were held Monday at 2 D. M.
conducted by Rev. A. o. TillOtsOn.
Presbyterian church cemetery.
Rufus Kenneth, son of David c..
and, Mary j. Farus Henderson, was
born in Bristol township, Morgan
county, Ohio, April 6, 1918, and
died Oct. 5, 1880, aged IL years,
five months and 20 days. Besides
the parents, he is survived by two
brothers-James of McConnelsville,
and Wilbur Of Bristol township,
and one sister, Miss Lulu of the
home; also his maternal grand
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Martin Farus
Of Bristol. Rufus was a bright boy,
always interested in the sports and
pleasures of youths of his age.
While his pilgrimage here was
short, he finished life time Of ser
vice. We like to think of the hu-
man race as plants in the nursery
some plants and trees making more
rapid growth are sooner transferred
to the orchards and vineyards. May
we not think of Rufus transplanted
to the heavenly land-beside the
river of waters where all is eternal
joy and pleasure? While the shad-
ow of the cloud oerspreads and
seems to shut out the sun, yet over
there he is enjoying untold riches
Of the glory land.

Recent reports from the state de-
partment of health show that there
have been 203 cases of infantile pa
ralysis in Ohio from July ! to Sept.
Is. In 1927 when the last cpl
demic swept over Ohio there were
approximately 1900 cases reported
from July / to January Is. This
shows that the prevalence of in
fantile paralysis at the present time
is altogether too marked to give
parents a comfortable feeling.
While up to this point the disease
has not developed to what might be
termed an epidemic stage. it is very
serious.
VIM. A Walls, president of the
Ohio society for crippled children,
urges all parents, teachers and all
others interested in children, to give
closest attention to all cases of
slight illness in children, so that
there may be no opportunity for the
spread of the disease through the
schools, etc. Parents are urged in
case children are slightly i'll or run
ming temperature, to call the
family physician, to diagnose the
case. Infantile paralysis is not only
a serious disease, but also one of
the most treacherous with which to
deal 1t has death rate of 25@ in
Ohio and leaves behind it an equal
or greater percentage of cripples.
1t has been estimated that from
one-third to one. half of the cripples
trace their handicap to this disease.
The most frequent symptoms of
the disease are: Fever, restlessness,
pain, stiff-neck. vomiting, tender
ness, headache. twitching. sore
throat and cold" A competent
physician should be consulted at
once in case of illness of the child.
Outside of paralysis, the one thing
to be relied on for confirming the
diagnosis of the disease in a case is
the microscopical examination of
the spinal fluid
So far Morgan county has but
one case, and that is near Joy.

LEIBER GIVES
OTHELLO'AT
POLTS

A striking, sharply-etched por-
trayal Of Iago in the immortal
tragedy Of ''Othello" was given
by Fritz Leiber in his Shake
spearean repertoire at Polls
last evening.
The role reveals another facet
Of this distinguished actors
resources, and demonstrates the
breadth and depth of his range
as, perhaps, no other role in
the entire gallery of his Shake
spearean interpretations can do.
The fact that he elects to play
Iago rather than the Moor is
in itself an indication that Mr..
Leiber has a distinctive and
individual concept of the play
and is not bound by theatrical
convention in his work of re-
vealing the classic tragedies to
the new generation of play
goers.
The Merchant of Venice"
will be done by Mr.. Leiber and
his admirable company tonight.

The Washington times., 1930-02-13

Well. I'll be seeing you.
The Washington times., 1930-02-13

The why OF a clear skin
A clear, smooth lovely skin speaks of rich,
red blood within. 1t is Natures outward
reflection of internal healthfulness.
First impressions cannot be good with
out clear skin-6rst impressions are
quickly made and are not soon forgotten.
Old friends may excuse pimples and
secretly sympathize but new acquaintances
may not be so charitable. Skin blemishes
are not inviting. They cannot be covered
up They embarrass. Hold people back.
Steal away joy and happiness.
Men and women, both, justly covet ad-
miration and all may expect such satisfac-
ton to its fullest extent if they are the
possessors of clear, unblemished skin.
If you are unfortunate in this respect
you owe it to yourself and friends to re-
move the cause. Nature will, then provide
the complexion which is so much desired.
More important still, strong healthy
blood rourishes the body and fights against
infection and disease.
The Washington times., 1930-02-13

poor neaIrn-Dur SeCretIy CnSy lnHUn
ence many important affairs.
Skilled physicians recognize the ap'
pearance of skin blemishes, lack of appe-
tite, fabby flesh and loss of energy as an
indication that the body's power of re-
sistance is low-that there is deficiency
of red-blood-cells.
When you build back your red-cells
to the correct number you will have fol-
lowed Natures own way of regaining
Health. Your skin should clear up and
you should have the body strength to
fight against disease and infection. You
should get hungry again and sleep
soundly. Firm flesh should take the
place of that which was once Aabby. You
should feel strong; your nerves become
steady.
This is why so many thousands, seek
ing youthfulness and beauty, have taken
course of S. S. S. It helps Nature re-
store the blood to its normal state. With
out plenty of rich, red-blood-cel1s there
would be no strong, sturdy, powerful
men or beautiful, healthy women.
