EASTERNTIME TOBEADOPTER INCEDARVIliE The new Eastern time will gq into effect Sunday, April 3rd. On thatday Central Standard* time, Sun time and . daylight savings time as well as any other kind o f time now in use in win* ter or slimmer, goes into the discard. The Interstate Commerce Com* mission has placed most o f Ohio in the Eastern time zone, The whole state goes over under an aet o f legislature which was signed by Gov. Donafiey.a few days ago, Co-operation with the new plan Will eliminate misunderstandings as to what time any public meeting will be held. It is certain that the churches schools,, college, and local, industries Will, start with the new time April. 3. The Herald has made a canvass of tiije institutions . and manufacturing interests and all are to adopt Eastern time. The railroads will go on East- , em time April 3rd. , As the whistle of the, Hagar Straw Board Paper Co. has much to do with the habits and customs that de­ late to time, *we are infoi ted by Mr, W. W. Galloway that his company has planned to blow the first whistle at six o'clock in the ' morning and the second,at Seven. The mid-day whistle Will blow1at 12 o’clock and the, next at one o'clock. For the public schools the honrr will likely be nine o’clock until twelve o ’clock and the afternoon session will start at one O’clock, and dismiss ai four. So far as we are able' to learn the hours fo r services at the churches will be as follows: Sabbatli School'.at ten . o ’clock and -preaching at eleven. There will be no recognition o f the old 11:30 idea under the new time. Set your clock up one" hour if you’ have been using Central Standard •time, on April 3. -Theraican be no con­ fusion by doing that.

WATERTREATMENTHASRESULTED INMANYREMARKARLERESULTS i This is the seventeenth o f a series o f articles that will appear each week in this newspaper dealing with Ohio’s problem o f increasing insanity. These articles are spon­ sored by the Ohio Association for the Welfare;o f the Mentally Sick, which has but. One objective, namely, more scientific and more humane treatment o f mentally Sick patients in state hospitals and the rapid rehabilitation o f these unfortunates, • Hydrotherapy—treatment by water —has been used successfully in the treatment o f almost every form o f di­ sease known, It is probably'the oldest form o f treatment and has been used successfully in the treatment o f men­ tal sickness fo r several hundred years The water treatment consists of placing the patient in an especially constructed bath-tub full o f water, a t body temperature, and keeping him there from one to 24 hours, The tub is so constructed! that the warm water constantly flows through it. The treat laent is called the "continuous bath.” There are other forms o f water treat­ ment which are only Variations o f this tame principle, such as the multiple shower, the Scotch douche, cold packs ate. The principle is that o f permit- tteg the body o f the patient'to ab­ sorb water sufficient to dilute the poi- sene to hi# blood, so that the mental sickness wilt clear dp Hospitals iii Ohio are manned by medical superintendents who believe id the advantage o f the water treat­ ment, but who are handicapped in not 'having the necessary personnel or {equipment to practice hydrotherapy •successfully. They arc powerless to •do so until funds to provide these two deficiencies. RESULTS In hospitals that have the inclina­ tion, the personnel and the equipment to give water treatments remarkable results have been attained. One. hos­ pital reports that its mechanical re­ straint was reduced by 96 per cent through increasing its hydrotherapy treat neiita. It. naturally follows that the quicker the toxin is removed from the blood Hie’ less permanent damage is likely to result to the delicate brain cells that are agitated during the mental sickness, and the shorter hos­ pital residence will be required o f the patient, with a consequent decrease o f expense to the state, The Ohio Association fo r the Wel­ fare o f the Mentally Sick is interest­ ed in haying every state hospital for the care o f mentally sick patient# pro Vlded with the necessary personnel and equipment to give the superin­ tendents every possible assistance in successfully carrying on this work.

SPRING TRAFFIC GROWS ALMOST EVERY DAY With the Columbus pike open for through traffic you can notice a great increase in traffic over a year ago. Each day‘ with favorable weather it is very noticable the number o f tour­ ists that pass through here. Wo are informed that Cincinnati and Colum­ bus automobile clubs are diverting all through traffic this way. . This means much to local business men, especially the oil stations, res­ taurants and* garages. - - • Nothing will d o ‘ more fo r a town that the impression strangers can get in passing through. We should have our streets in good condition and all are. except Xenia avenue which will be repaired as soon as the weather permits. - Business property as well as resi­ dence property Should be kept weli painted and lawns in attractive con­ dition. , Prospects fo r business this spring and summer are encouraging. Ce- darville has no reason to complain. ....... ................. .

Two. years ago the legislature considered and authorized a new building but real estate men engaged in a war fo r fat commissions in the sale o f property at fabulous prices, and the matter feli through. During this session the question is up ‘again and the same situation <now arises. Property values mount many time's when the state seeks a site. In. the contest Columbus offered a free site along the river front where the civic center is located but representa tives o f property in the center o f the city have hammered down that idea, 1 How the state can build’ a new building without funds is more than the public can understand. The fight among the real estate people may y£t prove to he a%cod move on the part o f the state, particularly when there is no money in sight. .

Fqrguson were quietly married at the M. E. parsonage at 5:30 last'Saturday evening. The eere- mpny was performed by Rev. S. M. Ingmire, Had a bank been entered and even small change lifted it would make a good news story with a flaming head. When a .newspaper office is entered the news fea­ ture is that even money could be found by one who would lift a window and Help himself to what he could find even though the amount was small. Mr. Charles Gilbert, formerly o f this place, now a resident o f South Charleston, has entered the Espy hos­ pital, Xenia, fo r medical treatment. Mr. Gilbert has not been in good health fo r some time. A few nights ago a sneak thief forced open a window ha IWnlii ntttoo mu-! Lninori himself to a small box Iti places usually found with the church at Grape Grove, O., under the leadership o f Rev, Binga- Ile always enjoyed taking an mon. active part in church work until the ’infirmities o f age prevented him from so doing. It may be said o f him that “ He so lived that when the summons came to join tlio innumerable caravan that moves to that, mysterious realm, where each shall take his chamber in the silent halls o f death, he went not, like tjie quarry-save at night, scourg­ ed to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed by an unfaltering trust, ap­ proached his grave- like one who wraps the drapery o f his couch about' him and lay down to pleasant dreams.” of change that was never kept even by outsiders* While the amount was small it evidently paid this soft footed colored gent who gets by easy without much work. With him small amounts a te acceptable. He has more o f a fondness for lifting chickens at night. Mere than once we have seen him after the midnight hour packing a sack of coal towards the northside of town. Coal dealers in Cedarviile have no night clerks that we know of. Neither do they have night delivery. This same sneak thief took no chance in lifting the window* We were not sitting up at night waiting of his arrival* Had we been on night duty with a shot gun we would have peppered the- same fellow that was shot a few yem Ago by a northside resident when an early morning trip was made to a corn crib. There is no question as to who forced open, the win­ dow and helped himself. The employer of labor that puts , this fellow on the pay roll at any time Is aiding in keep­ ing a thief in our midst that has consistantly raided chicken houses in this vicinity, stolen coal in an unlimited quantity and most anything else he could get his hands on.
