Springfield, Ohio BRYAN’S WIDOW WILL TRY WAPtT PADS FOR SEATS TO BREAK WILL IN COURTS. OF LEGISLATIVE MEMBERS. ■' The young widow of John Bryan, of Yellow Springs has brought suit in the Hamilton county courts to break the will not being satisfied with the. |S0(M>yearly allotment until she is 40 when she was to have $100,000. She is suing fo r her dower,right in the es­ ta te valued a t a million. The Union Savings & Trust Co, of th a t city was named executor and .trustee of -the estate under the will and the widow wants Edgar Stark, the trust officer removed but the court has refused to take this action. Mr. Stark has dis­ covered tha t Bryan had $76,000 worth of securities in the safety deposit of anothe rbank in t h e 1 city under the name of L. N. Harper, The hank re­ fuses to turn the property over to the , executor without a court order and a suit has been filed to require this to be done. I t is said that Bryan had considerable money deposited in ficti- ' tious names A member of the Ohio legislature has. introduced a hill in the House au­ thorizing the Sergeant-at-arms to provide pads for the seats of the members who find sitting on the hard chairs quite a task. As the members go into sesiqn each day. about 10 o’clock if enough:'of the members are Up by that ime and then hdjourtx fo r noon meal and have four long hours in the afternoon,''we think cushions should.be provided. No man should be compelled to sit so long on hard bottom Chairs when the salary is only $1,000 fo r six or eight weeks work.

Or. iuiM* Aatl-Pala mu■ far an sate All Thoughts for Exclusiveness The Soldier and the Cigarette. (Continued from page l ) its crudest weapon—poisonous gas. Thousands of our finest young men are destined to be slain and thous­ ands of others blinded for life, by poisonous gases inflicted upon them by the Germans in this waif. But the numbers of oqr men killed and the numbers injured by all . the poisonous gases of the Germans will be fewer than, those who will be killed and injured by the poisonous gases of cigaret smoke which our hyper­ sentimentality is inflicting upon them, wiiile the after- effects will, be even worse. ■ I do not for one minute mean to im­ ply that cigaret smoke is as vilulent a poison as the gases employed n- gainst our troops by the Germans, but i do mean that cigaret smoke will be responsible fbr lasting injury to many more of obr men and be responsible for a larger number • of deaths than the poisonous gases of the Germans, and I claim that the permanent effect of cigaret poison are even worse than the after effects of the poison gases of the Germans because while the German gases affect the body they do not, like the cigaret, impare the mind. Many a mother who has sent her son* to fight in France has raised him pledged against the use of the cigaret Thousands upon thousands of such hoys on the fireing line are obliged to breath a dense tobacco-charged at­ mosphere in the confined cpaces of the trenches and dugoutS. The result will be that most of them will follow the example of the others and fall vic­ tims to the cigaret habit. Those who recommend sending cigarets to the soldiers for their com­ fort should remember that to give such comfort to tome they will a t the same time inflict great discomfort on many others. The measure -of com­ fort to the smoker does not for a mo­ ment equal the discomfort to the non- smoker who is compelled to inhale the fumes emitted by the smoker. Let Us not gas our young men in, the trenches.” INTERESTED. FERTILIZER FOR SPRING.
