Sunday was children's day at Mr..

children being at home for the first
time IN several years,
Death turks in every flower
And every passing breeze.
Death quietly entered the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Dick Cloar on
Dec. Is, 1908, and claimed for its
own the beloved and only son, Will
liam Elmer, aged IA years, 6 months
and ii days. Two years ago Elmer
underwent very painful surgical
operation from which he never rail-
lied, having been an invalid until
his death. Elmer was of sweet
disposition, kind and and obedient
and the idol of the home. Oh, how
hard it is to part with those we
love. We can only bow in humble
submission and say, at is thy will,
O Lord, not ours is for a pur-
pose none can tell. A home that
was once filled with sunshine and
laughter is now in sorrow and sad
ness. The once smiling face that
was the light Of the home lies cold
and silent in the grave. TO the
broken. hearted parents and sisters,
we command you to lean on Jesus,
He is the source of all light and can
heal the broken heart. Funeral
services. were conducted by Rev
Moore, at Antioch, Saturday after
n on at 3 o'clock, where the re-
mains were laid to rest, IN the midst
of a host of friends who deeply
sympathize with the bereaved.
Our home is sad and lone and dark,
No Elmer now we see;
But Christ Will give heavenly spark
To comfort you and me.
Twas death that closed his mild
young eyes
In sweet and calm repose;
And now he sings beyond the skies
Where all his joy he knows.
Weep not, dear father, mother, friends,
For he is now at rest;
The Saviour to His flock attends
And they are always best.

claimants having passed. The coins
ands envelope containing the charred

Many of the coins were burned or
crushed until almost unacceptable.
A $40 gold piece still showed bright
spots through marks of fire. A hole
was burned through one packet of IS
bills. There was $40 in redeemable
bank notes, $S6 in coins in 70 purses

THEY HAVE WORMS.
Porto Rico Natives Dying from Raw
ages of Parasites.

New York, Dec. 31.-A letter to the
Herald from Major L. L. Seaman,
M. D., who has been privately investi-
eating conditions among the inhabi-
tants of Porto Rico, states that the
high death rate there and the anaemic
condition of the rural population are
due to the so-cal1ed hook worm, known
to science as "Ankylostoma Dudu-
enale," which recently was stated to
be highly prevalent in the southern
states and all tropical countries. When
fully developed the worm sometimes
attainS a length of three-fourths of an
inch. Treatment of 5000 cases and
exhaustive investigation by a medical
year show, according to Major Sea-
man, that the disease produced by the
worm has caused more than 80 per
cent. of the deaths in Porto Rico
The parasite is really a blood-sucker.
Its development requires about two
months, and it's work in the intestines
has been found to greatly reduce the
red corpuscles of the blood. Some of
mission showed under microscopic
tests only Is per cent. of the normal
amount One man had only 10 per
cent. The blood bore pinkish tint,
almost as light as water.
At least 90 per cent. of the rural
population on the island is asserted
to be affected by the ravages of the
parasite, almost destroying their en-
or of beta-napthol have generally
proved the most successful treatment
A successful campaign of SANTA
ton, teaching the rural population
to use the simplest sanitary methods
in everyday life, would, Major Sea-
man declares, turn Porto Rico into
garden spot and the majority of its
inhabitants into a healthy, happy, red
blooded people. Unsanitary habits
have been inherited, he asserts, and
the present generation can scarcely be
held responsible.
