of death. For several months Mrs.
Nation had been In poor health and
on Jan. % she entered the local sani-
tarium. in which she died, hoping
there to recover from q nervous break
down.
1t became evident several days ago
that Mrs. Nation could not recover,
and DR.. A. L. Suwalski, physician at
the sanitarium, informed her that the
end was near. She said nothing, but
smiled. Worry over lawsuit which
had been brought against lecture
bureau for alleged failure to pay for
services on the platform is said to
have caused her to break down.
Mrs. Carrie Nation was born in
Kentucky in 1876. In her early life
she married a man addicted to intoxi-
cants, which created in her an intense
aversion to the saloon. When he died
she determined to devote her life to
the suppression of the liquor traffic.
Later she moved to Kansas and mar

with her temperance principles, but

bond. On Jan. 81. 1901, armed with
her favorite weapon, Ratchet, Mrs.
Nation made another raid in Wichita.
This time she smashed two joints.

ton surprised the jointists in various
Kansas towns, appearing unheralded
and leaving trail of ruined barroom

jointists became terrorstricken when
