PfANO. Piano Playing Made Easy To play music in any key other than that in which it is written is difficult for most performers. Morris Hyde Pianos instantly transpose any song to suit any voice. They are the only pianos which transpose a full chromatic octave. With them any player can just as easily play any piece in any or all other keys as in the original key, and "any singer can sing any song in exactly that key in which the voice sounds best.

Instrumentalists may play in any key easiest for them. This adds great value to these instruments, which are also superior in all other respects. They suit the most exacting critic, and are indorsed by prominent musicians everywhere. Any child can operate the Movable Key-board, and it cannot be gotten out of order. While pre-eminently instruments for the home, voice teachers, singers, churches, schools, and theaters, find them an indispensable convenience.

North Wayne Street people have re- ently lost two very familiar friendsj whose kindly ways and presence will be be pleasantly remembered for many day to conie. The one was "Joe" Frank Parker's neighborhood dog.

Everybody took an interest in Joe. He was as affectionate, respectful and proper-mannered as a dog out of a thousand. He knew his friends, too. If his breakfast or dinner was a little too slow, at any one of his homes, to suit his appetite, he would go to another, and bark little sharp barks, at the door till the desired relief came. The result of this wide range in so clever a neighborhood, was that Joe was all the time in the very best keeping.

Frank kept him well groomed and all the neighbors saw that he didn't go hungry. So, very naturally, Joe was 011 good terms with all the world. He had a kind eye a pleasant face, you might almost say a smile, and a friendly wag of the tail to all he met. Joe was getting old and less active than he was years ago, and the electric car made short work of him. His pleasant ways will be remembered for many a day to come.

The other friend that we particularly and personally cherished was a redheaded woodpecker that inhabited our own immediate neighborhood further up the street. He chose as his headquarters, Ms summer home, you might say, the tip-top of the old engine house on the eaat side of the street, and there in the early morning, when the day was just coming over the hills east of the river he would beat a friendly tattoo, that sounded into every open window on the two blocks, as much as to say ''I'm up and ready for business." It was the same in the evening. Even after the robin's song was hushed you would hear him knocking away on the hard dry pinnacle, as though lie were a sentinel whose work it was to say "All's well" as the neighborhood went to sleep. He had just one note that he sung or chanted, and seemed to enjoy, that was about like this: Moorf, moorf, inoorf. That was all, and yet it was friendly and familiar, and when we heard this note and his taps on the top of the engine house or on the dead limb of one of the maples near by, we felt that there was a quorum.

It was the woodpecker's "reveille" and "taps," and, from his absence from his -accustomed resort, we really fear that some cruel bullet- has laid him low, or that he has sought some other home, and we shall hear his friendly salutations no more. In the absence of the President and Vice President, Mr. Levering was chosen as the Chairman and filled the position in a most satisfactory manner. There were no reports from standing committees and the monthly report of the Health Offioer was read and approved. It is as follows the Health: GENTLEMEN the month of August we had 9 deaths in the city as follows: Zyidotic, Diphtheria 1.

Constitutional, Scrofula 1. Cholera Inf an turn 1. Developmental Old Age 2. Local Pneumonia 1. Congestion of Lungs 1.

Diseased Liver 1 Heart Disease 1. Sixteen cases of Diphtheria and one death was reported in the City during August and eight cases with one death thus far this month. Nearly all these cases have occurred in the southwestern part of the city and in the immediate vicinity of a case of Diphtheria for several days supposed to be ulcerated sore throat. As soon as this case was found the strictest precautions were taken even to placing a sanitary policeman in the vicinity to keep children at home and prevent them from gathering in crowds. Notwithstanding these extraordinary precautions we have had sixteen cases and two deaths from Aug.

2d, to this date. We are enforcing the law to the letter and keeping Placards upon every house fourteen days after the case is convalescent. I am thorougl-ly disinfecting every House with the Fcnr.a-r>l';r:1f CDS in doing so we then know it has been done correctly. Unless it is done by an officer of this Board we have no assurance that it is done at all. At this time we only have two houses iu which children are sick with the disease, althrnivli we have cards up at several other Louses where the fourteen days ure not quite up, but the patients convalescent.

All the Butcher shops were visited today and found in good condition. Owners of lots in the Park Avenue gravel pit have been invited to attend this meeting and I hope arrangements can be made to ahate this nuisance. F. E. KITZMIIXER, M.

Health Officer. Showing the Condition of Things iu the 3iidille Section for the Week That Closed With Monday. The weather and crop report for the week ending with Monday has been issued. For the Middle section it reads as follows: Warm, dry weather, cool nights, prevailed during the week. The warmest 98 degrees at West Liberty on the 9th and 10th the coolest was 44 degrees at Pataskala 011 the 5th and 6th.

Rain is needed badly. Corn is maturing rapidly some late is drying up and not yet out of danger of frost is being cut. Plowing for seeding made some progress and is well nigh completed, but the ground is too dry and hard. Some seeding done. Apples are nearly a failure about enough for home use.

The potato crop looks looks discouraging. Millet is nearly all cut; good crop. The clover crop promises a good yield not all harvested yet. Grapes are ripe and plenty; some destroyed by insects. The tobaoco crop is nearly secured, with a good vield.

The giver was Mother Brodbeck, now in her 80th year, frail with the infirmities of years and a life of toil. She had culled it carefully from the beds and borders of flowers about her own modest home, and brought it to deliver it in person. The gift was very pretty; the spirit that prompted it was beautiful indeed. It was out of the heart. "I am now in my 80th year" said the cheerful old lady, and very much, crippled up, but if it is the Lord's will that I shall live to be 00 years old.

his will be done," There was the spirit of perfect trust and of patient waiting. She lives alone, has but little of this i world's goods, and yet she has what is worth more to her than a mint of money, the promise of a home in heaven, and I she can well afford to wait for it till her Lord shall call.

It comes from the Sanitary sewer and in order that it may be overcome a solid lid will be placed over the manhole in front of the Fire department. Peter Jones, the Sanitary policeman presented a bill amounting to for extra services iu guarding the homes in the southern part of the city during the recent outbreak of diphtheria.

The bill was approved. Health Officer Kitzmiller ealled the atteneion of the members to the fact that the salary for this office is insufficient for the amount of work that is required to be performed. A motion was offered by Mr. Patterson to increrse the salary from $200.00 to per year. The matter will be preseeted to the City Council.

The Gravel pit nuisance on West Park Avenue was the next matter discussed. The Health Officer stated that some of the owners of lots ready and willing to assist in the burning of the trash and the filling up of the pit. The city and township removed the gravel and then laid out the lots and sold them to private individuals. Since that time, which is about ton years ago, the place has always been a nuisance. D.

S. Bates insisted on the burning of the trash at once, while it is perfectly dry. His plan was to have it done by the Fire department. Meyer LeBolr, who owns a lot near the pit stated that he warned the officials of the Piqua Handle and Manufacturing Co. not to dispose of their shavings on his lot, but that no attention was paid to it.

Different plans were discussed as to best way of burning the shavings and trash. Mr. Patterson suggested that the matter be placed in the hands of City Commissioner Shannon. The Health officer was of the opinion that the property owners'should assist with the work. Mr.

Shannon consented to take the work in charge, providing Sanitary Policeman Jonos assisted him. The property owners will be notified that they are expected to assist in abating this nuisance. This concluded the business and adjournment (followed. That Confronts you is, how to heat your home the best and most economically.
