HARR! W. BARCLAY COMMITS SUICIDE ? 1 Harry W. Parclay’, proprietor of the Oakland theater here, took his own life about two o’clock yestedray afternoon by drinking carbolic acid. He had just returned from Weldon, 111., where he had gone on Friday to take care of some business matters. He sent the small Wogomon boy, whom he has been employing to sweep out the theater, to the drug store for two ounces of carbolic acid, stating that he wanted to mix it With some paste. He went to his room and swallowed almost all of the acid, while the boy stood watching him. Then he stepped into the adjoining room, where sat his wife and Mrs. B. 0. McElroy, and told of what he had done. Doctors were immediately called but they could do nothing to save his life. He died within twelve minutes after he had taken the poison. The coronor was called. His parents at Weldon, 111., were notified. It is thought that financial difficulties back at Weldon were responsible for his dejection. The Barclays ’came to Syracuse from Illinois a little more than three months ago and bought the moving picture theater. o True Lotus and the Lotus of Poetry. Neither the true lotus of ancient Egypt nor the sacred lotus of the Orient must be confused with the plant referred to in Tennyson’s poem, which was the jujnbe, a prickly shrub bearing fruits resembling a plum or date, and much used as a dessert. Homer describes the wandering. Ulysses as arriving at the coast of Libya, where many of his sailors partook of the*jujube fruits and immediaiely lost their desire to return to home and friends. —Journal of the New York Botanical Gardens. o Observation* of C<fnnectic'*t Naturalist There is a reason why eats walk an stone fences in their peregrinations. A cat will often travel three or four miles In search of prey. By walking on a stone fence they have a better chance to get • the. lay of the land. Thus, when the cat ‘desires to return, if it once strikes a fence upon which It has traveled, its way home is then clear. A cat generally has a good reason for everything it does.—Farmingville Correspondence Ridgefield Press. 0 First Use of Ether. The first successful operation with ether was performed on feben H. Frost, who testified that a handkerchief saturated with the mysterious something discovered by Dr. Morton, was pressed to his nose and he-became unconscious, awakening only to find that a diseased tooth had been extracted without his knowing anything about it. The drawing of Mr. Frost’s tooth was the initial operation which preceded the grand demonstration at the Massachusetts general hospital October 16, 1846. o American Cigarettes Popular. For a time most cigarettes were made from the Turkish leaf. Then 11 was discovered that the “bright” Virginia tobacco, now grown in Virginia the Carolinas and eastern Tennessee, made an agreeable cigarette. Eventually cigarette-making machinery was Invented. and today American cigarette* are smoked all over the world. T O Jud Tunkins. “The city man,” said Jud Tunkins, “who thinks he knows all about how to run a farm is generally a chap who doesn’t take the trouble to keep the grass cut in his own front yard.” UNSHAKEN TESTIMONY Time is the test of truth. And Doan’s Kidney Pills have stood the test. No Syracuse resident • who suffers backache, or annoying urinary ills can remain unconvinced by this twice-told testimony. Eli Heiser, retired farmer, 1121 E. Center St., Warsaw, Ind., gave the' following statement February 23, 1909: “I had a whole lot of trouble with my kidneys. My back was weak and ached and every once in awhile, I got down with this trouble. Doan’s Kidney Pills proved thoroughly effective. I now seldom have any complaint, but when my kidneys do bother me a little, I take a few of Doan’s and the trouble always immediately disappears.” On January 30, 1919, Mr. Hel<?ser said: "During the last few years, Doan’s Kidney Pills have done fine work whenever I have used them for any sign of kidney weakness. I hold Doan’s in. the same high esteem as when I first endorsed them.” 60c at all dealers. Foster Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

Roll the Table Cloth. Id some of the domestic sciencf schools the pupils are now taught tc mil table cloths Instead of folding them, since the folds in the linen art always the first places to show wear. The cloths are ironed flat and rolled while being Ironed. Start to roll them as swn as a half a yard is ironed and keep the roll directly in front, turning it as fast as the ironing is done. Thick brown paper may be used if you have no regular roll. One clever woman who procured several mailing tubes placed them end to end and covered them with a fancy wall paper, pasting It on securely. This makes a firm foundation for the roll. * o ' A Ventilation Test. Mrs. Newlywed was speaking proudly tft her caller of their new house, and told of its having hollow block construction, thus Insuring plenty of ventilation. “I don’t think your modern dwelling has anything on our oldfashioned frame house In that respect." returned her caller. “Every night we lock the cat In the cellar nnd let her out of the attic in the morning.”— Boston Transcript. O Most Grandmas Are Like This. Chester had a slight toothache, about which he made a big fuss. Grandma petted him a bit. then said: “Here's a quarter. Go buy a ball and play, then maybe you'll forget about the aching tooth.” Chester, rushing to his mother, displayed the money, saying: “Gee, grandma's easy; she gave me a quarter when 1 only had about a nickel’s worth of toothache." O Standard Weights and Measures. The idea of adopting scientific measurements as a basis of a system of weights and measures, was suggested as early as the seventeenth century, particularly by the French astronomer. Jean Picard, who lived frirtn 1620 to 1682. The system was worked out and taken up by the national assembly of France in 1760. It was adopted and its use made compulsory in 180 L o In Other Words, Self-Control. True enjoyment lies always along that royal middle ground—the use of all functions and powers, but with the Imperial hand of mastery upon all. Otherwise, there are always heavy penalties to pay.—Ralph Waldo Trine.

We have it in our store —the Official Laboratory Model specified in the challenge. Read the "Invitation to Talking-Machine Manufacturers.” It’s printed here, just as the Edison Laboratories sent it out. NEW EDISON ; “T*r witi • S»»l” The Official Laboratory Model has proved its Realism in 4000 Comparison Tests, made before 3,500,000 people all over the United States and Canada. For instance, in Los Angeles recently, an audience of 1,500 people was unable to tell, the difference between the living voice of Miss Marie Morrisey, world-famous contralto, and its RE-CREATION by the New Edison. There’s away for you to test the wonderful Realism claimed for the Official Laboratory Model in this sweeping challenge. We give Mr. Edison’s Realism Test Come in and let us give it to you. The price of the new Edison has advanced less than 15% since August 1, 1914. Mr. Edison has absorbed the bulk of the increased cost of material, skilled labor, and taxes. He is determined to keep the New Edison within the reach of everyone. But conditions may force a price-advance. Buy your New Edison now! Our Budget Plan mijees it easy.
