RROfIRTY OWNERS TO Bt PfTI*.
TIONKD IN REGARD TO THEIR
CHOICK    OP    CURBING
After several weeks of dlscasslon,
the council still are undecided ss to
wklch type of curbing to use for the
pavlse of Milan avenue. The council
met Tuesday night. In order to d*>
clde the matter, but conditions have
arisen which warrant the petitioning
of the people to decide that queston.
The council came to the conclusion that It would be possible to use
either type of curbing and deemed It
wise to let the people make the decision.
It was suggested to as* stone osvtv
Ing for part of the Job and concrete
for the remainder of the Job. This
suggestion met with a great dael of
opposition, In that It would be' a question as to whether or not It would hs
better to have the stone curbing over
the bill or where It would benefit the
property owasn.
A petition will be circulated among
the property owners on Milan avenue
before Monday night, on which they
will designate the type of curbing they
wish to have. The majority will rule
In this case, and the council will take
steps on the matter Monday evening.
In regard to the paving, Mr. Fauver,
of the Ohio Engineering company, reported that he would hav* hts machn-
ery and materials In Amherst and
would be ready to start work by the

HEALTH BOARD OUTLINES wm. WORK
s The. Lorain County Board of Health
has devised a plan by which undernourished children may receive the
necessary nourishment while attending school. Although the plan has not
been put Into practical use as yet, the
idea Is gaining a great deal of favor
in Amherst.
The plan ts to give the undernour-
iethed student milk at 10 o'clock ln the
morning, tbe cost of which will be fifteen cents (16c) per week.
This plan has been practiced in
other schools and has had a marked
Influence on the students. It makes
them stronger by the additional
strength, the student has a greater
application for his work. It has increased the scholarship from twenty-
five to fifty per cent ln different
cases.
The only drawback which confronts
the health board Is that the parents
of some students will be unable to afford the expense of giving their children this nourishment.
The district health commissioner
presented his plan to the Amherst
Business Men's association at their
meeting on Monday night. The commissioner Hated that if donations
could be made, the children of those
parents who could not afford the nourishment could be taken care of with
the greatest of ease.
The association expressed their willingness to donate to a cause of that
kind.
The Indications are that undernour
Ished school children in the Amherst
schools this fall will be governed by
this plan, outlined by the county
health board.

VICTOR
ROUSSEAU
To Victor Rousseau, the
.author of many charm-
ing tales, falls the honor
of writing the .first really
big romance concerned
with railroad building
and empire winning in
northern Gan.ida.
The heart-breaking
struggle of an engineer
against terrific odds; the
love of s woman which
made her almost a martyr; the love of another
woman which outlawed
her best instincts; the
swift death that .came
from nowhere; the do-
vious ways of a fox with
heart of a beast and
body of a man—all
this woven into a .fabric
of .wnguUr fascination—
of .compelling interest.
