of Mori# Xh?*tr?, Spectator* Say.
Mike Peioronzo. aged CS years, of
Ijifferty. Ohio, is lying at the North
?Wheeling hospital In a dying condition,
while Belmont county authorities are
searching for Krank Neuaey, also of
l.afferty. as the result of a shooting In
front of a mo\ ie theatre in the Ohio
vtt^ge early last evening. Neusey Is
alleged to have shot Peloronzo.
Petails of the shooting are lacking.
All that could be learned from Laffertv
late last evening was that the two men
were standing In front of the theatre
when an argument arose. Peloronzo is
said to have struck Neusey in the face,
following which a shot rang out and
Peloronzo fell to the ground.
The wounded man was placed in an
automobile owned and driven by Joe
Azaliion. a Uafferty grocer, and rushed ;
to the local hospital. He was placed i
upon the operating table at once, but at I
t o'clock this morning It was an
nounced by attaches of the hospltaHhat !
there Is no hope for his recovery. ? He
is attended by Pr. J. W. Gtlmore.
To other foreigners came to this city
with the wounded man. One claimed
he was'a brother-in-law of the wounded
man, and at first refused to talk, but
later told the authorities Neusey had |
shot Peloronzo.
l*p to a late hour last night Neuaey J
had not been arrested, but deputy
sheriffs declared they had good clues j
as to his whereabouts, and his arrest Is
expected momentarily.

I! OHIO ill El SI
??? ???????????^?4
Columbus. O.. Nov. 21.?Sixty million
I dollars to lend and no takers.
Such Is the situation of the agrlcul
I tural loan agency of the war finance
corporation for the state of Ohio. When
} the agency had been functioning for a
j month in Ohio, not an application for
I funds had been filed. J. L. Hamilton.
Columbus, chairman of the committee
In charge, estimates there Is between
$50.00.000 and $60,000,000 available for
Ohio farmers. The amopnt, he said,
would depend on Just how much Is
j wanted.
I Ohio headquarters of the corporation
are located at 210 South High street,
f According to the operation of the war
] finance corporation act passed by con
i gress, bankers make application for the
loans, which In turn are to he lent to
farmer clients In need of money. All
transactions are carried on through the
banks. When a hank applies for a loan
'from the fund, the state committee
either recommends or rejects It, and In
the former instance the application Is
sent on to Washington with the recom
mendation.
Congress has appropriated $100,000.
000 for this purpose.
The loans are to be made for agricul
tural purposes. say9 the act, "that Is.
for any purpose connected with the
growing, harvesting, preparation for
market or marketing of agricultural
products; or the breeding, raising, fat
tening and rnaretlng of live stoc." and
are to be made to banks, trust com
panies. etc.. that have made loans for
such purposes or that may have dis
counted or rediscounted notes given for
tie purposes enumerated.
If the advance Is to mature within
^slx months and without renewal privi
leges. the interest rate Is to he 5 per
cent; (lie rate on longer maturities or
renewals Is DH percent.
Figures at the Ohio committee's office
show that farmers in most other states
eagerly are taking advantage of the
fund, but show'that the heaviest loans
have been made In states west of the
Mississippi river.
The use to which the fund Is being
put Is shown by the fact that $300,000
was advanced to a co-operative assoc
iation In 'California, on canned fruits
and vegetables; $350,000 was advunced
to an 'exporter to finance the exporta
tion of tobacco to China, and a loan of
$1,000,000 was approved to a co-opero
tive agency In Arkansas on rice.
"All a farmer has to do to take advan
tage of the law Is to see his hanker."
said Mr Hamilton. It Is up to the,
hanks, of course, to make use of the
privileges of the aot.
Hamilton wilt he glad to send any j
Information or application blanks any
where In the state He Is at a loss to
ascribe the apparent apathy of Ohio
banks. Applications for loans may
corne In later In numbers, he believes,
for stock feeding purposes.

Erie, Pa. ?" I am neariy 80 years old, and influenza left me weak, run
down and nervous so I could hardly keep around and do my work. I tried
different remedies but did not seem to gain. I read about Vjnol and tried
a bottle. In a few days I began to recuperate and it certainly did me a
world of good. I feel much better and stronger in every way. My sister,
who is 86 years old, has also taken Vinol with excellent results. '?Mra.

SUPPOSE it W?S Brown's case that was
up for consideration. Brown is heading
in a direction that has brought trouble to a lot
of people?a direction known to be full of risks.
Brown himself isn't going any too good. There
are days when he hits the bumps harder than
he can comfortably stand?and he shows it.
There's another road that Brown could
travel safely?smooth, comfortable, pleasant,
and absolutely safe.
And Brown came to you for advice. And
you'd look at the facts and you'd say: "Why,
Brown, there's nothing to this thing. It
doesn't take any argument to decide this.
Turn to the right and take the smooth, safe
road, and Do ft Now.
I
Suppose the road Brown is on is the coffee
or tea road. Hundreds have had trouble on
that road. Doctors have sounded the warning
for the public, and raised the "no-traffic" sign
for their patients?time and time again. The
drugs, caffeine in coffee and thein in tea, keep
whipping the nerves?tending to interfere with
sleep, upset digestion, produce high blood
pressure, and to wear down health and effi
ciency by the disturbance of rest and nervous
balance. Some folks go a long way on the road;
some folks don't seem to notice the jolts?for
a while, anyway.
But what would you say to Brown about
choosing the safe road instead of the risky one?
And suppose Brown were you ?
Postum users travel the sunrise road?
away from the coffee and tea jolts and risks.
Postum is free from the possibility of harm
for any one, and full of comfort and satisfac
tion for every one. Even the little children
can share in the delights of a hot, mealtime
cup of Postum.
No fears, either that Postum will rob the
night of sleep as coffee so often does. Postum
is a friendly drink for any one any time.
And it's good! When you've tried Postum a
few days you'll wonder why you ever thought
of sacrifice in leaving off coffee or tea. Rich
and flavory and satisfying, Postum suits the
taste so that there's no longer any thought
that you should drink it; only the thought
that you want to drink it.
Postum opened the better road and the safe
road for coffee and tea drinkers more thanf
a quarter of a centuiy ago, and a steadily
increasing multitude is traveling that road?
up and on to better enjoyment, better effi
ciency, better accomplishment.
You can buy Postum wherever good food
and drink are sold and served. You can begin,
now, this turn to the right road which you
would so quickly recommend for Brown?by
ordering Postum from your family grocer or
telling your waiter at the restaurant to serve
you Postum instead of coffee or tea.
#
Make Postum according to directions and
enjoy its delicious flavor; find the change in
"feeling" after a week's use ofPostum. Let the
family join you in the trip up the sunrise way.
You'd know what to say to Brown?say it
to yourself.
