A Very Sudden Death.

Ralph NJ, the seven year old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. James Grey, died at his
home Saturday evening shortly after
seven o'clock. He had been i'll with
diabetes for almost three months but
his condition was not considered dan
gerous untillast Friday when his case
became alarming Everything that
could be done was done for his relief,
but the disease had destroyed more
than nature could rebuilt, or than
medical skill could accomplish. The
deceased was born in Audubon, May
Is, 1904 and has lived with his parents
in Audubon most of his life. He was
faithful little fellow, always kind and
playful. The funeral services were held
at the Church of Christ Monday after
noon, conducted by the pastor, J. j.
Rapport. Ralph leaves loving father,
mother, one sister and large circle of
friends to mourn his ultimely death,
but they mourn not as those which
have no hope. Interment was made in
Arlington Heights cemetery.

Temperance Growing.

Contemporary Club Papers: ''Statis-
tics show that the consumption per
capita of the mild malt beverages such
as beer has increased very materially
and it is safe to say that larger per-
centage of the people use them than
ever before. The fact that drunkenness
has decreased while the use of liquor
has increased, only proves that tie
people are learning to use it in proper
manner, so as to do no harm, but on the
contrary to reap benefit from it. The
problem of the proper regulation of the
saloon, when correctly solved, will set
tie our liquor agitation. When this
problem is correctly solved, the general
character of the saloon in this country
will be very different from what it has
been in the past. 1t is very Important
that men engaged in this business
should be men of character, and any
legislation on the subject should Ee
framed so as to prevent any but men Of
character from engaging in it. The
saloon licensed to sell only mild FERN.
ented liquors and light wines, with a
percentage of say not more than ten
percent of alcohol, would need very
little regulation. The saloons author
lied to sell the strong beverages should
be very strictly regulated.
