Stroke of Paralysis
Was on Way to Europe for
Tour to Restore Health
of Husband

Word was received here yesterday
Boston of Mrs. Willis E. Davis, wife
of the prominent local capitalist, ar
tist and clubman. The news was a
great shock to her relatives and
friends here, as she was on the eve of
sailing for Europe and was apparently
in perfect health when she left for the
east 10 days ago. The European trip
was planned mainly in search of health
for many months. Their daughter
sydney, was to have Joined them, and
the trip abroad was to be of indefinite
duration.
Mrs. Davis was stricken with paraly-
sis Saturday, and because of a similar
attack two years ago the doctors held
out little hope. She was removed
from the hotel TO the home of her sis
ter, Mrs Hodges, and 1t was at the
latter place that the end came Mon
day night. None of her family was
with her except her husband and her
sister. Willis Davis left for this city
yesterday with the remains.
Mrs. Davis was we'll known on this
coast. She was a Miss Elise Kohler
Her mother, Mrs. Bauer, survives her
and her sisters, Mrs. F. w. Van Sick
len. Mrs. Edward Van Bergen and Mrs
c. j. Foster. She also leaves two
daughters and a son, Mrs. Pierre
Moore, Miss sydney Davis and Willis
E. Davis Jr.
Mrs. Davis was prominent socially
and will also be much missed from the
charitable world, where in a quiet
way she did a great deal of good. and
left behind her many warm friends

The Wedding Anniversary-The first
wedding anniversary is properly the
cotton wedding day, though some brides
of a year make 1t a rose or flower
wedding and others call it paper we'd
ding. The second anniversary is prop
erly the paper wedding, while the third
is the leather wedding. This is signifi-
cant of the fact that the tie is strong
enough to last two years. The next an
niversary that has a special attribute
is the fifth or wooden wedding. Then
follows a gap until the seventh ami
versary, which is celebrated as a.
wooden wedding.
The tenth anniversary is called
d d'etain-the tin wedding. The twelfth
silk and fine linen. The crystal wedding
comes after l5 years, and the china
celebrates 20 years of welded happi-
ness. The twenty fifth, or silver ami
versary, is the most commonly kept of
all. Pearls are the appropriate symbol
of the thirtieth anniversary, and rubies
of the fortieth.
The fiftieth anniversary is well
known as the golden wedding" The
sixtieth anniversary. is often celebrated
as the diamond wedding. though it does
not come really until rs years have been
rounded out.
AS few people live long enough TO
have a -reap anniversary at rs years
the sixtieth anniversary is celebrated
in its stead.
Odd numbers are often celebrated in
any way one sees fit. For instance, an
onion reception and banquet was the
novel entertainment provided by col
lege professor and his wife not long
ago, in honor of their sixteenth we'd
ding anniversary. The house was dec
grated with onion blossoms, there were
onion blossoms for the centerpiece at
the table and almost every course In an
elaborate dinner contained onions in
some form, though the ices were nodded
cut and frosted to represent them with

Significance of Hearts Movements
1t is an evidence of functional disorder
If not organic, when the heart beats
80 times a minute. In almost all cases
of organic trouble, it is apt to beat
rapidly. In functional disturbances it
is more apt to beat rapidly at one time
and slower at another. and thus we
sometimes find a pulse of 72.
Irregular habits. worry, dissipation
overworkipg until the nervous system
is wreck, is a sure way to create a
go pulse rate. However. when there IS
no organic trouble, the remedy is TO
correct the errors of living, sleeping
regularly, eating regularly, exercising
well, thus making better blood If
there is no heart trouble, this is the
best way to correct that condition

Health Notes

Don't Worry-Most peoples lives are
such a continual rush that they sell
dom have time to do anything well.
Even their houses have to keep up ap-
pearances beyond their income, and so
their lives, instead of being natural
and healthy, are forced very often be-
yond their strength.
Try and look on your homes, how
ever small, as your Kingdoms, and or
der them on natural, simple lines, and
never allow anything to be ostenta-
tious either in yourselves or in your
children, and bring them up to realize
that real true simplicity through life
will carry us nearer to what Providence
meant us to be than anything else.
One more little suggestion: Good
temper is invariably a sign of
good health, and If you find yourself
tired, cross, and inclined 70 make all
duties a labor, take a stitch in time
and arest, even If it is a difficulty, as it
will probably save your own health
and your children's respect, as such is
human nature that, though we may be
forgiven once or twice, continued i'll
temper estranges us from those we
love more than anything else, and after
a time even those who love us must
get tired of hearing the same excuse
that we are weary and overdone, says
the Family Doctor. Persons who are
constantly complaining of their i'll for
tune, and regretting this, that or the
other, become in time a positive terror
and nuisance to all surrounding them.

Chicago, April 23-The usual light
supply of cattle that characterizes
Fridays market, was on sale, and,
while prices showed no quotable
change from the levels of the previous
market, quality was lacking, and no
high figures were obtained. The gen.
has been Enthusiastically toward lower
lever of prices.
Receipts for the week have been
little larger than last week, and yes
terday was the first time that the
prices have had a chance to show any
strength. All cattle buyers complain
of the difficulty in getting rid of beef,
especially the big cuts, and dealers
agree that the only way to hold the
market on an even keel is to continue
feeding the trade with light receipts.
Hogs.
The market suffered relapse in the
middle of the session, but after short
duration of weakness. packers came
into the trade, and bought to such an
extent as to give firm hope to the
market at steady prices. Top hogs
were quoted UP to $3.50, but actual
sales above s7.45 vera scarce.
The fve-day supply this week is
very light, nearly 10000 less than last
week, while shippers have taken a few
more than then. April receipts to date
are $4,000 less than last year.
Sheep.
The sheep trade was active thruout
the ray. A proportionally larger
amount of matured stuff was on sale
today, and while this, as general rule,
did not show any material gain in
prices, yet it was easily disposed of.
Medium lambs sold, in all instances,
at fully steady prices. The market
closes the week not much changed on
the bulk of stuff, but clipped lambs
have shown decided weakness.
The handicap of the sheep market
this week was an excessive supply on
Monday. Demand centers on quality
and in-between grades are experience
ing neglect, alttlo that stuff was picked
up on late days, owing to light runs.
