Saturday while Nipp Fairchild was busy in his pickle patch Bert DeMoss slipped out and caught a fine string of bass and pickerel. This somewhat surpasses Nlpp, whose catch was mentioned last week.

During the recent warm weather some of the up-to-date people who believe in having things as near sanitary as possible have arrayed themselves in those semi-spiritual cheese-cloth garments, the name of which is “Come Anna.’’ Some people who are not very well informed have mistaken Come Annas for night dresses. Now the latter is an all season garment intended to be worn during the nours of sleep. The Come Anna is more of a dog day garment and is worn only on yawning occasions.

Dip the palms in very hot water and after drying them rub dry boracic acid or a solution of boraclc acid and alcohol Info them.

Both the cars were due here at 6:18 p. m., but as the soutubound car was late, orders were given to pass at a siding about two miles north of here. The impact of the two cars was so terrible that but one of those on the cars escaped injury. Many automobiles from Piqua and Sidney were rushed to the scene and conveyed those Injured to an improvised hospital at the Shelby county Infirmary and to their homes in Sidney and this city.
