PICTURE yourself preparing food the way you like it best, and when you have this done, a Fairy cook appears who says: “Now leave all the rest to me. I will attend to the food while it is cooking. I will see to it that it is cooked the way you want it-roasted, baked, steamed, stewed or boiled perfectly. You will not have to come into the kitchen once to baste, turn or stir the food. You will not have to worry for, fear that it will scorch, burn, dry up or overcook. Your time is your own, you can do with it as you please, and when the family is ready to eat, there will be ready to serve the most delicious food that has ever been brought to your table.” ASK W. J. WRIGHT

LITTLE BOY DIES OF PTOMAINE POISONING

Little Stanley William, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Elmo F. Thomas, of the Phon neighborhood, died at 9:15 o’clock Wednesday forenoon, June 19th, at the home of his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Holmes, as a result of ptomaine poisoning caused by eating canned tomotoes. The little one war iborn in Minneapolis, Minn., November 3, 1914, and was three wear, seven months and sixteen days of age at the time of his death. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas’ little daughter was also poisoned from eating some of the tomatoes from the same can, but her life was saved. The little boy leaves to mourn the loss of his innocent childish presence his father, mother, little sister, two grandfathers, one grandmother, two aunts, two uncles and a number of other relatives. His father is a soldier in the new national army, having volunteered his services to his country a year of more ago. He is stationed at Fort Snelling, near Minneapolis, Minn., and has been notified of his little son’s sudden death. He will doubtless arrive in Jordan soon after receiving the sad intelligence. Funeral services were conducted in Jordan by Rev. W. W. Landis this Thursday afternoon and burial was made in Greehridge cemetery. The heart-broken parents and other relatives are extended the sincere and heartfelt sympathy of everyone in their great bereavement —as sad an affliction as could befall them. The taking away of their dear little boy during the absence of his father in the performance of a patriotic duty in behalf of his country is indeed sad to realize, and while the little home will be sad and lonely, the Almighty knows what is best and the immortal soul of the bright little child has gone beyond the trials and tribulations of this world to its eternal home. The above account was taken from the Gazette published at Jordon, Montana. The unfortunate lad’s mother was before her marriage, Miss Virginia Holmes, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Holmes, who formerly lived in Newton township, this county. Dean Merica and son, Donald, of Chicago, are guests of Mr. and Mrs. Alex Merica, who are Dean’s parents. First Class Private William Klinnett arrived here this morning from Fort Thomas to enjoy a ten days furlough with his parents. Finnan, the year old son of Mt. and Mrs. Firman Thompson, who was severely burned Saturday and is under the care of a trained nurse, is getting along nicely. W. F. Knox returned to Clarksburg, Ohio today, after a short visit with his brother, Thomas Knox and other relatives.

SUNDAY EVENING UNION SERVICES

The second Sunday evening union services were held at the Gayety Sunday evening. There was a good size crowd present to enjoy the comfort afforded by the indoor meeting and the splendid program. The Rev. J. B. Fleming was in charge of the meeting. A quartette from the Methodist church choir sang a number of selections and assisted plendidly in the congregation singing. The members of the quartette were: J. D. Allman, William Wavmire, E. W. Strecker and H. L. Brown. The address of the evening was made by Rev. D. €. Hill. His subject was missionary work. He advocated the continuing of this splendid work during the war. The address was an able argument in favor of the spreading of the gospel of the Chrjstion religion. He pointed out tmt this work must be done because it had been commanded by the Master. He also made the point that the influence of the Christian religion was uplifting and a great blessing to humanity. One point must have come to the minds of all present and that is the explanation of the fact that Germany which claims to be a Christian nation has committeed atrocities more barbarous than the Turks, who are not Christians. Plans are being made to make the services next Sunday evening' of a patriotic nature in honor of the great French holiday. July 14 is to France what July 4 is to the United States. A most excellent address will be delivered by Dean G. Stanley Coulter, of Purdue University. There will undoubtedly be a great outpouring of the citizens of this community as the celebration should appeal to the protestant, catholic, jew and unbeliever. All of the fraternal orders will be urged to attend this meeting.
