  • COLUMBUS OFFICE (Concluded) Red Jacket News To Mr. A. C. Cook belongs the credit for being the high man in the sale of our coal for the month of May. Mr. Cook covers the southern Ohio territory. He is a Mr. A. C. Cook hard worker, and it certainly required a great deal of effort to convince the buyers, in the month of May, that they needed coal. Keep up the good work, Mr. Cook. The picture below shows our Mr. A. Y. Mcllvain, Michigan representative, stuck in the ditch "forty miles from nowhere" en route from West Branch to Cadillac, Michigan, in search of Red Jacket orders. We are wondering xx Mr. A. Y. McLlvain if "Mack" really did get stuck, or whether he discovered some "firewater" in the "sticks." He told us he had to be pulled out by a Ford after remaining in this desolate spot for four hours. WANTED — Someone to introduce a "Noiseless Chewing Gum" for use by bookkeepers and such office employees. For particulars, see Mr. I. D. Cooke, Cashier of the Red Jacket Consolidated Coal & Coke Company, 410 Hartman Building, Columbus, Ohio. TRY THIS ON YOUR JAWBONE One of the "shortest" medical terms used in the scientific program for the eighty-seventh annual meeting of the Ohio State Medical Association, which was held in Cleveland, May 13, 14 and 15th, is "Phenoltetrachlorph- thalein." It takes almost the entire alphabet to spell it, but after all, it is rather innocent, for it is the technical name for one of the coal tar derivitives. DO NOT NEGLECT SLIGHT AILMENTS WHICH DO NOT DISAPPEAR Perhaps you have some slight ailment, a slight increase in the seriousness of which you realize each year; but still you are not incapacitated, and so you make no effort to check it. Have you ever thought that while you might rid yourself of it now, it may get such a hold later that you could not loosen its grip. Sometimes you wonder if it will reach such a serious stage as to cause your death, but more often you think it cannot possibly reach a serious aspect before you die. The ailment which amounts to so little in your eyes now, may be the point of attack in old age, and it may be the cause of your passing away much sooner than you would if you were free from it. Perhaps the silly idea comes to you that you fear to consult a physician because he might tell you that something is seriously wrong with you. But if there is some serious difficulty, would it not be best for you to learn it now and begin at once to combat it ? Disease does not work itself away when you yourself can notice a slight increase in its severity each month or each year.—J. J. Mundy in Columbus Dispatch. People would have better health if they would remember that the stomach is a workroom and not a play-house. After years of endeavor the inventor made a success, and came hurrying home with pockets bulging with money. He joyously strewed bank notes in his wife's lap crying: "Now, at last, my dear, you will be able to buy some decent clothes." "I'll do nothing of the kind," was the sharp retort, "I'll get the kind the other women are wearing!'— Tit-Bits. THRIFT "Thrift is such a simple thing and it means so much. It is the foundation of success in business, of happiness in the home, and of standing in society."—Russell Sage Thrift is but another name for habitual prosperity as the result of frugality and economy. It is a condition resulting from industry and an entire absence of waste or extravagance. "Little drops of water, tiny grains of sand, Make a mighty ocean and a shining strand: Little copper pennies, dimes and nickels too: Make a tidy saving; does it belong to you?'' —Exchange. You Are Not Hired to Take a Chance. The man who will not listen to safety rules may have to listen to an ambulance gong. —Family Wash. HAZEL CREEK The Misses Perry of Canton, North Carolina, were recent visitors on Hazel Creek where they formerly lived. While here a dance was given in their honor and also several days' camping trip on top of "The Smokies." About eighteen or twenty young people, chaperoned by Mrs. J. W. Fisher, went on this trip and all reported a great time —even if they did arrive at the camp and discover that all the eats with the exception of seventy-two loaves of bread and a few cans of milk were still at the commissary at Proctor. Messrs. Henry Franklin, Ed. Wilson, J. W. Bryant and Joe Rickman went over to Bryson City on the 26th to be initiated into the Masonic lodge. Mr. J. W. Bryant was called to Collettsville early in June on account of the serious illness of his mother, who died on June 20th. "Ye Scribe" owes apologies for not putting the surnames after the names of the children, Cramer Lee and Harry, of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Crisp. Everyone on Hazel Creek is looking forward to some fine fishing over the Fourth of July. Look out, fish! "Fatty" Wilson reports a good crop of potato bugs, bean beetles, and cut worms. The rest of us have our share, too, "Fatty." Mr. Chas. Cathley, one of our former employees, arrived in Proctor June 3rd from McClure on a few days' visit. Mr. Ed. Matthews of the flooring department, was called to Wilmington on May 31st on account of the illness of his father. Mrs. Dock Stanley of Fremont Fourteen
