It seems assured now that President Wilson will go to Rome while in Europe. In Rome he is expected to pay a visit to King Emanuel of Italy at Quirinal palace and Pope Benedict at the

Vatican. At present differences exist between the italian government at the-Vatican. It may be, officials think, that Wilson will be asked to attempt to end these differences during his visit in Rome. The president, if he coes to Rome,

will call on King Emanuel first, then po to the American embassy. The rector and scholars of the American ecclesiastical college will meet him there. The rector will convey to the pope Wilson's desire to see him.

NEW YORK CARNIVAL FOR RED GROSS

NEW YORK, Dec. 18. Historic Fifth avenue, from Madison Square to the Plaza at 59th street, becomes an "Avenue of Mercy' tonight for a gigantic carnival or "block party" to which New York's millions have been invited as a means of stimulating enrollment in the Christmas roll call of the Red Cross. The only price of admission to the party will be the 1919 Red Cross button, indicating that the wearer has "a heart and a dollar" for the cause. Each block along the avenue, which has been decorated with garlands and evergreens, will be in possession of the Red Cross, or other official organization for a night of dancing and varied forms of entertainment. Traffic on the avenue will be cleared at 7:45 o'clock after warnings have been sounded by the great air raid sirens, which were installed during the war to warn citizens of danger of a raid by German aircraft. At 8 o'clock the festivities "will formally commence when forty bands from United States and allied warships in port and from nearby army camps, will play "The Star Spangled Banner." The bands then will furnish the music for the dancers. Between dances on the asphalt, there will be many interesting entertainments, Including wall-scaling, tower building and drilling by 500 boy scouts, "motions songs" by campfire girls in ceremonial robes, war dances by fullblooded American Indians, other Indian ceremonies by degree teams of the order of Red Men and costume dancing by Jugo-Slavo, Czecho-Slo-vaks, Serbians and Crotians. The stage women's war relief committee, the Lambs and Friars clubs, the Elks and other organizations, also have arranged entertainments.

Mr. Ryder lives at 2035 10th Avenue, Huntington, W. Va., and works at the C. & O. shops. His extraordinary signed statement was very recently given. It Is too valuable to pass by: "My son when he was three years old began to have nervous convlusions, attended with a high fever and making it necessary to call a physician. After these spells he was so nervous he could hardly talk and could not rest at night. At first he would have one of these spells every two or three months. Finally they increased to two a month. "In ' February, J918, I raw NervWorth advertised and decided to try it. It is nine months since be began taking it. He is now six years old. Is getting In better condition every day, and I feel confident Nerv-Worth is going to cure him. "ARTHUR RYDER, 2035 10th Avenue, Huntington."

Father Should Know What 'She Meeds If Fathers spent as many hours at Mother's side as children do, they would quickly recognize the cause of her mind and body weariness. Children at play often hear the wish for a Hoosier and its many time and labor-saving features. We therefore say to Fathers: "Heed the Hoosier Christmas suggestion."

But remember that there is but one Hoosier. It is the worthy kitchen helper for your home. It saves health and strength and miles of steps. It places 400 articles within arm's reach. W&men sit comfortably while at work. They reach instead of walk. x Every wanted convenience is found in the Hoosier scientifically arranged and of practical construction. '

Make this a Hoosier Christmas. Come now and select one of several models. If another style weuld suit "her" better, we'll gladly exchange it later. But come now before our limited allotment is. gone. And remember that you need make but a small deposit, $1.00 as first payment. Equally small amounts pay the balance, $1.00 weekly.
