The Death Of Edith summe rsides

Edith, the daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. t. w. Summersides died Mon
day morning at an early hour Of
acute diabetes.
Edith had been ailing for several
days and been out Of school for a
week but her illness was not con
sidered serious until during Satur-
day or that night, when the sickness
assumed violent type and ere long
her parents knew that the life which
they had priced so dearly was ebb-
ling away from them.
Edith Summersides was born in
Manchester fifteen years ago and all
Of her young life has been spent in
this community. She was Of quiet
and unassuming nature but her
bright mind and many cheerful
characteristics had made her a favor
lite among her school friends. She
gave promise of a beautiful woman-
hood and it is inexpressibly sad that
she should have been taken when
just on the Threshold of leaving
aside all childish things and grow
ing a proud comfort to the parents
who so loved her.
Mr.. and Mrs. Summersides have
had three children, son and two
daughters, and each has gone at
about this same time of life. The
death ofthe last remaining child leav-
es them lonely and e'enmost, broken
hearted. May it be some consolation
to their wounded hearts that in theil
surprising grief both young and
old are mourning with them.
The last sad service over our little
friend will be held this Wednesday
afternoon in the home, and all that
remains mortal of Edith Summer
sides will be lovingly laid away il
our City of the Dead.

born or to what Judgment each had
attained, which? Mrs. Herb Harris

Christian Endeavor Entertainment.

Friday evening last the social
committee Of the Congregational
church Christian Endeavor gave the
members and friends of that society
a very pleasurable evening in the
parlors Of the church. The poetical
invitations found ready response and
more than fifty young people were
measured at the door and paid their
two cents per foot for admittance.
Games and refreshments were di-
rected by the committee to the end
that each one present enjoyed the
entire program to the utmost. The
autumn decorations Of leaves Of red
and yellow, of stalks Of ripened corn
and the intellectual faces of the
JACKIE lanterns also added much to
the entertainment Of the guests
and to the success Of the evening.

COMMUNICATION FROM GEORGE E.
GREENE.
offer to Refund Money II hyomei
Does Not Cure Catavri.
To the Editor of the Reformer

To the Editor of the Reformer:
We have been asked recently if the
advertisements printed in your col
umns regarding Hyomei were true,
where | offer to refund the money il
this treatment does not cure catarrh.
We wish you would please print this
letter in as conspicuous place as pos
sible in your paper, saying that we
absolutely agree to refund the money
to any purchaser of Hyomei outfit,
if it does not cure catarrh.
This outfit consists of an inhaler of
convenient size to be carried in
the vest pocket so that the user can
breathe Hyomei air three or four times
daily. With this is included med
icine dropper and bottle of Hyomei.
The outfit sells for 81 90 and is most
economical treatment, for the inhaler
lasts lifetime andthere is enough Hy-
omei for more than months use,
while extra bottles can be obtained
for 80 cents.
We trust this communication will set
tie any doubt that may have arisen as
to my willingness to refund the money
for Hyomei outfit, in case the pur-
chaser is not satisfied.
| wish to say emphatically that my
guarantee on Hyomei holds good, and
| will refund the money to any dissat-
isfied purchaser who simply states that
he has used the treatment according
to directions and not been helped.
Respectfully yours,
George +. Greene.
