James harrison frequently served
as trustee Of Blue Rock township in
pioneer times. On one occasion he
was to meet Robert Finley at the
Muskingum river to be sworn into
office. The men arrived on oppo-
site sides of the river and found
the water too high for fording and
no boat in sight. Finley shouted to
harrison to hold up his right hand.
Then with loud voice he administer
ed the oath of office while the Mus
kingum flowed between them. Fin
ley said that they conformed to the
law by being in each others pres
.ence and hearing. Rural Dale in
Blue Rock township was called
Rockville when j. B. Milhous laid
out the town in 1854. Asa Gay laid

If each young school age person
had their eyes fully treated with At
ropine, the glasses that let them see
best while third nerve is thus par
alyzed would be the exact error and
you would find at least three-fourths
with the enormous error Of over
three diopters. These large errors
must tension several sets of muscles
to get eyes in focus or you could not
see letters two feet high across the
street. No one can hold these mus
cles tensioned all day for long with
out muscles cramping to that posi-
ton. Eyes cramped to perfect TO-
Gus see perfect, they never hurt
after cramping, SO the worst eyes of
young people are called perfect.
If small part of an enormous
error remains uncramped this small
active part will tire and hurt. Wear
glasses to cover this small amount
and the hurting stops. This is what
people are getting for eye correc-
tion. The great big cramped nine
tenths Of young eye error is not
touched Thus million dollars
worth Of health is lost
You are a lifetime better custo-
mer to the drug store the doctor,

kind that is fast making our coun-
try not worth fighting for. A fool
sayeth in his heart-There are no
eye muscle cramps, and II doesn't
cause diseases equal to deep sorrow.

echoes this color, as does a pull
up chair in a geometric blue

matted in coral-mahogany and

ProIong Life
Of Elastic
Garments
BY ELEANOR ROSS

DESPITE ALL the instruc-
tions that have gone out from
manufacturers and stores on the
care and laundering Of founda-
ton GARMENTS, there are still
many women who have the idea
that too frequent washing is
harmful TO the garments.
This is a false notion. since it
is only the dirt and perspiration
acids that are harmful and de-
stroy fabrics, especially the
elastic and elasticized materials
used IN the majority of todays
foundations.
These acids affect the delicate
threads OF elastic and cause the

Without traditional furnish

that the news from the decorat-

beauty Of line and scale are of
prime Importance, just as in any
Of the So-called traditional, or
period styles.
Modern as a style stands
firmly upon two legs: Color
and simplicity.
Color Is as essential TO the

sidering doing your home in
modern, one fact you must ac-
cept at the outset: Timidity

Highligh+s
Of Autumn
Fashions
-" ~~>-NA GRACE

! AMONG THE new accessories
sc, .I al fashion shows are
muffs. They are carried with
suits, FUR coats and evening
clothes. and while most of them
are fur, many novelties are seen
silks, velvets. satinS, wool and
fancy ones in feathers.
They usually claim some close
relationship with the hat. II
should be a popular style. Muffs
are not only very feminine in
appeal but so comfortable for
cold little hands.
Must Be Slim
There is no need 10 remind
you that everything in style
calls for slender lines. AS a
matter of fact. we have been
hearing this for years. so it
might be enough 10 say that the
same pencil line figure continues.
Reducing salons are booked
full and the girls are in earnest
about their SHINING. Some
have only a few extra pounds to
take off and this is either the
thighs or midriff
Another spot that gets out of
line is the padding over the
lower ribs. Restricted diet is
necessary, but massage helps TO
speed the reducing and keeps
the tissues firm.

Skoblin went into the next

the adjoining office. He came
back a few seconds later. Skob-

They looked for him all over but
it was too late.

General Skoblin, with tears in
her eyes, was repeating:
It don't know anything don't
