Death of Mrs. Lindley.

That death Overtakes us when
we least expect it seems to have
been exemplifed in the death OF
Mrs. w. E. Lindley at twenty min,
utes to one o'clock last Wednesday
morning. On April 26th Mrs.
Lindley left for Placerville, Cal,
in response to telegram that her
sister was not expected to live, but
when she arrived there she found
her sister so far recovered that she
returned Immediately, arriving
home on the lst Of May. When
she returned she had a slight cold,
which she afterward said was con-
| tracted at Sacramento, which seem
ed to grow upon her gradually un-
til it developed into a case OF
pneumonia, which eaded her life.
Two or three days after her return
from California DR.. Lindley left for
Naco on business trip, and he did
not hear of her serious Hines until
the night before she died and ar
rived home just few hours before
his wife passed away. Everything
thathuman skill could devise was
done to save her life but all to nc
avail. The funeral services were al
the M. E. church on Wednesday
afternoon, by Rev. J. NJ. Hackett
assisted by Rev. W. R. Muir, pas.
tor of the Presbyterian church here
The remains were followed to the
grave by large number of sorrow
ing friends.
Mrs. Elsie l.. Strout Lindley was
born at Placerville, Cal, 35 years
ago and came to Stafford four and
one half years ago. She leaves a
husband and child in Stafford and
I two brothers and two sisters in
California, to morn her loss.
Mrs. Lindley was loved by all
who knew her. Wherever help
was needed there she was found,
no one ever applying to her for as
sistance in vain. When coming
here she was member of the
Christian church but since she has
worked in the Methodist church.

Poverty and iliiteracy naturally go
hand in hand. In no other great
country OF the world is poverty-uni-
vsrsal. monotonous. hopeless poverty
the national characteristic of the
people. The only parallels know are
In some OF the Balkan states. At al
most any point In rural Russia you
might think yourself in the interior Of
Servia or Bulgaria, except that even in
these countries the poor peasant is
not quite 20 poor. and his bearing is
more independent. Long train jour
nsys In Russia are depressing expert

NATURE STORES ENERGY.
What the AnAtomists Have Learned of
Common Things

Common Things.
Mother Nature has odd ways of
storing up energy-has SO much en-
ergy, in fact, that she hides it away
In the tiniest most unlikely bundles.
Common things that are handled every
day are more than likely to be pack
ages full of force Of one sort or an
other. II you were asked to decide
which was stronger, steam boiler or
pot of common white navy beans.
yos would probably say that the for
mer wss-might possibly say so con-
temptuously, with laugh. Yet those
learned that beans are capable Of eI-
erting a pressure fully equal to the
largest boiler. When they find it nee
esssry to separate the bones OF a skull
they fill it with beans and place it in
basin OF water. The beans soon ab-
sorb the water. swell and slowly force
the bones apart, for there is no skull
that can Withstand the steady, even
pressure. And unless some equally
careful workman could be found to do
the work. no skulls could be articu-
lated. for rougher methods would shat
ter the bones and quite spoil the job.
Anatomists have learned many SINH
lar tricks by watching nature When
they wish to obtain a skeleton Of
small animal-a mouse. or a fish, for
e1ample-they put the little body upon
an ant heap and leave the tiny insects
to eat the flesh away from the bones.
In month or six weeks nothing re-
mains but bare skeleton held to-
gether by the tough cartilages-pro-
vided the wise snatomist has protected
his specimen against the cat. II he

Kentucky Tests SHOW Fruit Jelly Made
Wholly OF Glue


The General Assembly of Kentucky
recently enacted a law providing for
the inspection OF food products sold in
that state. and intrusted the work to
the agricultural experiment station.
The station submitted a report show
ing that fully 20 per cent of all sam
Piles of food taken were adulterated
Some of the adulterants used are in
furious to health: others have been
put in TO cheaper articles of food. As
examples OF the former. the inspectors
found so-called fruit iellies" made
wholly or in part OF glue and artificial
eoloring and fsvoring matters. They
found salicylic acid. sometimes in
large quantities, in tomato catsups,
preserves and other food products
which were sold as pure. and formalde-
hyde and other preservatiyes In milk.
which perhaps in some cases was fed
10 infants. The most striking example
of all is in the case of essence of pep
permint and essence OF cinnamon.
These extracts contained wood alcohol.
a poisonous substance. as one of the in
gradients, In the preparation of these
essences mixture OF wood alcohol
and common alcohol was used in place
OF common alcohol. presumably to
avoid the government tax on alcohol.
This condition OF affairs is by no
means confined TO Kentucky. Equally
fragrant instances OF adulteration are
reported in the publications OF other
stations engaged in the inspection OF
foods and from many other sources.
