that through the death OF his Wl1e'
Margaret Kelly Miner, one of the four
daughters of Lighthouse Dan Heliy,

tracing business, in which he en-
gaged after his removal from the po-

doomed, then? Quite possibly 1t is.
This was created world of uncer-

But we've long outgrown the crude no.

WHAT Is FRUIT CAKE
