SUICIDE.
we'll known Weston man commits sui
eide by hanging.
This community was shocked Thursday
morning to learn that George Mansur, man
well known here, had taken his own life the
night before. Mr.. Mausur was a man who
had suffered much and long from rheumatic
trouble. He was able to walk only with the
aid of cane or crutch. How much his suf-
fering had to do with his death no one knows.
1t is more than likely other reasons could be
named. He was well fixed financially, hav-
ing enough and to spare from his own per-
sonal need. He had good home with his
brother Charles, and every comfort his home
or means could provide. Mr.. Mansur was
heard to say several months ago that no one
need be surprised at what might happen.
Several times and to different persons he
said last "Wednesday "This is my last day on
earth.'' About O'Clock that evening he
went into the lower story of the saw mill
known as ''Mansur's Mill" His brother saw
him but thought nothing of it as he was ac
| customed to go there. From there it seem:
| he went up the stairs through the mill room
! proper to a room used as a shop directly ovel

to the house ,passing through the room wher,
his brother Charles was taking his supper

minutes. When she went out MIR. Mansu
also went out ;the neIghbor going to the post
office, he to the mill. This was about
O'Clock. 1t seems Mr.. Mansur had told he
his intention to take his life and upon her re
turn from the postoffice she looked for hin
in his room and elsewhere and then arouse,
others to look. The mill was looked through
but he was not found at the first search a

down and physician summoned but iiie was
extinct. The funeral was held on Friday and
the body carried to Simonsyille for interment.
The family of his brother and the i.nmeaiate
friends have the sympathy Of the entire COM

Raw Eggs

They Are Uuseful in all sorts of ways.
We all know the value Of cooked
eggs out there are many unsupported
irtues in them while raw.
The white skin inside the shell is the
best application for a cut that is bleed
ing ~profusely. Bend it on securely
and allow it to remain until it falls off
of itself.
The white, if poured over a burr or
scald, relieves the pain almost at once,
and it is cooling and healing. If ap-
Piled at once it prevents Inflammation.
The whole of a raw egg taken as
food is most nutritious; but it requires
a little courage to swallow anything so
glutinous and taSteless. 1t may be
made more palatable if the yolk is
carefully preserved unbroken, and then
a little nutmeg grated over it, or a few
drops of lemon juice and a little pars-
ley sprinkled on it gives a pleasant
flavor. Some patients, however, pre-
fer a dash Of salt and cayenne pepper.
When the stomach is not too irrita-
BILE the egg may be beaten into a
tumbler Of milk, to which a little
brandy or other f1avoring has been
added. But sometimes the plain raw
egg is all that the stomach will retain.
1t rarely refuses this, and in the sever
est cases of bowel trouble n of the
best remedies as we'll as fOOd is a
partly beaten egg swallowed at one
gulp. 1t is healing to h membrane,
and four eggs a day will fully sustain
life for a. short time until the digestive
tract is once more fit for duty.
When the mucilage bottle is empty
and cannot be filled in time the white
of egg will answer many Of its pur-
poses. 1t will stick on a stamp, glue
papers together, paste articles in the
scrap bOo and all such light work. =
1t forms the best filler" when papers
are to be made air tight before cover
ing jelly tumblers and jam jars. Even
as sole covering these papers will last
well, and are successful if dipped be-
forehand int the white.
One charm of this convenient egg is
that we can nearly always get it at a
moments notice.
