OVERLOOKED
BESIDE THE GRAVE
PITIFUL LIFE STORY OF GIRL
BURIED YESTERDAY.
Proper Burial for One Who Died in
Shame Was Provided by Strangers
-Lilah Childs succumbs to Con-
sumption Far from Home.

Simple funeral services in Amor's
acknowledgements, sos Second avenue
S, Yesterday afternoon, were the sequel
of a pitiful life story. Lilah Childs,
a young woman Of the world, who had
lived in sin, spurned reformation and
died in darkness, was given a proper
burial by strangers touched by the
misery Of the girls life.
Orphaned at an early age, and left
to the tender mercies of a grabbed,
old uncle prominent druggist in a
far western city, the girl, lacking the
guiding home influences, rebelled. She
fell lower and lower. Always frail
and weak, and an heir to that dread
disease, consumption, her life was far
from happy, Growing weaker and
weaker, she was soon compelled to
take to her bed, and, tho she was
only 20, physicians found her beyond
aid.
Altho among complete strangers, the
day she was compelled to take and
keep her bed, she found friends. A
woman Of First street had her re-
moved to the city hospital, and after
ward paid all the bills from her own
purse and visited the girl almost daily
until the end came. Then she paid
the burial service. The situation sug-
gested the following words by Thomas
Hood:
| Touch her not scornfully,
| Think of her mournfulIy,
| Gently and humanity;
| Not of the stains Of her,
| All that remains Of her
| Now Is pure wosnanly
| SIS
Owning her weakness,
| Her Ill behavior,
And leaving in meekness
Her sins to her Savior.

dangerous case praises the food that
helped his little patient.

Grape-Nuts did and is still doing for
my child, a story marvellous indeed,
which seems almost incredible but
which Is an absolute fact.
1.-TWO years ago in March my little
four-year-old daughter was stricken
down with Tuberculosis of the right
hip joint. We put her in charge of
a specialist for treatment. He told
us that our only hope Of saving her
hip and perhaps life, in addition to
his surgical treatment, was to build
up her system with good nourishing
food to make good rich blood, bone,
muscle and fat which in time would
cure the disease by absorption.
'This sounded easy, but proved a
difficult case to treat, as there were
SO many foods recommended that did
not agree with her or that she did
not like and, therefore, would not eat.
"For a year and a half she barely
held her own until Grape-Nuts was
tried, which she liked from the first
and in two months gained two pounds
in weight where during the eighteen
months preceding she mad lost weight
"Now, Notwithstanding she is also
lust recovering from a severe at
tack of the whooping cough which she
has had for the last three months, she
/ has gained steadily in weight, is grow.
i ing nicely and her entire recovery is
promising and hopeful and we are
confident of complete success.
"Our surgeon is delighted with the
rapid improvement she is making ant
both he and ourselves are more thar
I thankful that we tried Grape-Nuts."
