Word was received here from Newport
last Saturday that l.. Burton Jones was
quite seriously ill. His parents started
for Newport at once, and being unable to
go across country they were compelled
to go to Sherbrookc by train and thence
by train to Newport, distance of about
100 miles to accomplish % or therea-
bouts. They found their son much bet
ter, aud late reports indicate that he is
still improving which is pleasant intor-
nation to all his friends here.

Ellen (GOingl White.

Our community was deeply stirred last
Saturday by the news of the sudden
death of Ellen Going, beloved vile of
Iohn White. Mrs. White, who was ma
tive of Wolfe Island, Ont, had been in
frail health for some time past, and oc-
casionally was subject to attacks of heart
trouble. She was out visiting Friday at
ternoon and on Saturday morning, only
two or three hours before her death, she
was telling how well she felt. About
11.3O O'Clock she had one of these
attacks, for which restordtives were
promptly applied by her daughter Shirley
that seemingly gave relief, but for short
time only, as a second attack followed
and despite all that medical skill and low
ing care could accomplish the end came
shortly after ~ O'Clock. Mrs. White,
who came to Island Pond about II
years ago with her husband and family
from Richmond, Que, was a woman OF
marked anna bilty OF character, domestic
in her tastes and strongly devoted to her
family. Her sympathy and interests
went out to all the movements in the lite
about her, but health and strength had
not permitted her to take an active part
in them. She was an earnest and devoted
member of the Episcopal Church, and
very rarely indeed was she absent from
the services she loved except i'll the past
few months when she was able to attend
only occasionally. OF her 1t may DC
truly said she was pure, earnest, Iowa
BILE Christian woman, ever ready to dc
all the good she could, and today she i:
mourncd and deeply regretted by every
body. A husband and three daughters
Mrs. !. c. Landre, Mrs. F. w. Stolte
and Miss Shirley, mourn the loss of a dc
voted and affectionate wife and mother
and to these we tender our respectful
sympathy. Tuesday morning the re
mains were taken to Richmond for inter
ment and laid to rest beside the two
daughters that event just before"

Letters to Island Pond People.

Mr.. o. S. Eaton, Island Pond, Vt.
Dear Sir: Your work as a contractor
is Judged not only by how it looks, but
how long it lasts. The longer your work
defies the elements, the more your repu-
tation grows.
When you build house you naturally
want it painted with the most durable
paint made.
Take two paints of the same quality
one mixed by hand the other ground by
powerful machinery-and the one ground
BY machinery will wear the longest
probably two or three times as long as
the hand mixed.
Grinding by machinery insures uni.
tormity and fneness unattainable with
paint mixed in n paint tub with stick

After continuous service of over forty
four years on the railroad, forty-two OF
which were spent as engineer, Mr.. John
T. Thurston last week handed in his res
ignatiou. During this time he has trav-
eled over one million six hundred
thousand miles, and has been remarkably
free from serious accidents. He is now
certainly entitled to a season of rest after
all these long years of active service, but
even rest will seem irksomc to John for a
while. His family and friends express
.,reat pleasure that Mr.. Thurston has
taken this step, desired BY them for over
a year past.

SCHOOL SANITATION.
False Economy to Try to Save None
In This Important Matter.


In This Important Matter.
Omaha has recently experienced con.
siderable sickness in one or more of its
public schools as result Of putting in
operation a system Of sanitation that
had little to recommend save a reduced
first cost. The Omaha World-Herald in
referring to the matter says:
The trouble experienced with the dry
closets at the Lothrop school is the legi-
innate result of experimenting with
newfangled systems Of ventilation and
drainage that promised a temporary
saving Of expense. The dry closet system
promised saving in first cost, and this
was the main reason why it was intro
duced. It was never maintained that it
was cheaper to operate it, or if it was
claimed any one who took the trouble
to investigate it thoroughly would have
been convinced that the claim was not
well founded.
The sickness among the pupils attend
ing the Lothrop school is directly trace.
able to the dry closet system in use
there. The furnaces will not cremate
the offal unless heated to high degree,
and when this is done the stencil in
creases. The result is that the poisonous
gases permeate the building, and while
they may not be detected at once sooner
or later they make their presence felt
and the pupils begin to suffer in health.
The gas generated by these dry closets
is highly injurious, and as yet no way
of preventing its generation has been
discovered.
The health of the children is to be
considered before questions Of economy,
and the board of education should act
at once in the Lothrop school matter.
The dry closet system has proved fail
ure, and the question now to be consid-
cred is how to best care for the health
of the pupils attending the Lothrop
school. There is no question about it
being an imperative duty to do away
with the present system Of dry closets.
They are death traps. The school board
should act without delay, leaving the
question of finance to be considered aft
er the health of the school children has
been cared for
