UNDERTAKES TO TELL
WHY MEN OF FORTY DIE

The Canadian Minister of Finance,
discussing before the annual meet
ing of life insurance Presidents on
Thursday evening in New York the
question of deaths in middle life,
touched the heart of our most Sc
rious medical problem. Much has
been said of the frightening of av-
erage human life by medical ad-
vance, but it is literally true that
the expectation of life for those of
40 years of age and over is less than
it was a generation ago.
The reason Is not far to seek. Our
death rates have been greatly lower
ed in recent years by the saving of
the lives of weakling children in
their very early years. These, spar
ed now, grow up to fall victims in
early middle life to degenerative dis
eases, premature old age, kidney and
heart troubles, greatly reducing the
expectancy of life among adults.
The facts are a warning to those
who think that modern medical
progress has in any way heightened
ordinary life. There is, if anything,
more reason now than ever for the
exercise of care in the avoidance of
excesses of all kinds, for there are
many more in the population less
able to stand these than there We're
when natures cruel, perhaps, but
effective mode of lettering the race
children had not been disturbed by
science.-[New York Her.

Is ASKED TO ABOLISH
THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

Columbus, o., Dec. 27.-President
Wilson was memorialized to ask
Congress to submit a constitutional
amendment looking to the abolition
of the liquor traffic in the country at
large. The memorial was signed
by special committee of %
persons named at the great demon
stration on the steps of the Capitol,
in Washington, December 10, and
which was an outgrowth of the ma
tional convention of dry forces at
Columbus, November 1914.
President Wilson was unable to
receive the special committee upon
the occasion of the Washington dem
onstration, and the memorial sent to
the White House to-day was issued
in lieu of a personal appeal.
1t asserts, in effect, that nation
wide prohibition would be only an
advanced step in the application of
the declarations of the Baltimore
platform upon which President Will
son was elected.
The memorial says: THE party
which you have the honor to lead
and champion offers its platform of
1912 as the pledge of justice to the
people, and upon that pledge we
plant our appeal for the right to
have this most vital issue passed
upon by the people and their Legis-
latures throughout the States, and
at the earliest practicable opportuni-
ty."

An autopsy performed upon the

The Coroner's verdict was accidental

body was taken to his late home at

STORY OF A STRANGE LIAISON

Monticello, N Y, Dec. 26.--With
the release from the Sullivan county
Jail probably to-day of Miss Adelaide
b. Brance, the woman who for three
years endured voluntary confine-
ment for the sake of being the Sc
cret companion of Melvin II. Couch,
the mystery of her identity may new
er be solved. She told her jailer
last night that her only wish was to
be permitted to leave Monticello
quietly, to lessen the burden of anx-
iety for Mrs. Couch and her daugh-
ter.
Bit by bit Sheriff Frank l.. Kline
and George l.. Cook, County Prose
cutor, have brought out the story of
Miss Brance's life with Couch. whose
death she announced in so dramatic
manner Sunday at the home of DR..
j. +. Curlette, brother-in-law of the
dead attorney. DR.. Curlette notified
the Coroner and the Sheriff and
those officials Joined with him in an
effort to keep the facts of the law
yer's double life from becoming the
public gossip of the village.
1t was due to the discovery of the
presence of the woman by the wild
ow when she was led to explore a
room in his Offices her husband had
always forbidden her to enter, that
the story became known and the
manner of the life for three years of
the volunteer prisoner revealed.
Miss Brance told the prosecutor
that many years ago she lived at
Goshen, n. Y, but facts concerning
her early life she withheld. After
much questioning she told of her
life in the little room opening off
COUGHS Offices, of how she never
went out, except at night and then
only when she was sure no one
would see her and how she lived on
provisions brought to her by the
lawyer and through it all was happy
because she loved and was loved.
She said she was forty years old,
had been a book agent, but stopped
there except to add that it was while
trying to interest Couch in book
fifteen years ago that their friend
ship began. They met at frequent
intervals after that time. she said,
until about three years ago, when
they concluded that secret meetings
that lasted a day at first could be
prolonged to a week, then weeks and
finally to her taking up living quar-
tiers in the lawyers office.
Her grief at COUGHS death was
genuine, and the Sheriff. who at
first harbored suspicious concerning
her, was finally forced to admit that
there was no charge upon which she
could be held. Although her hair
is streaked with gray and her face
pallid from enforced confinement,

Deafness Cannot be Cured


by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when it is entirely closed, Deaf:Ivss is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.

organization and ouray lodge No. 492

The organization was held in the
old Masonic hall in the Canon block

When the Currie block was built
two years later the Elks secured COM
modious quarters there for the lodge
room and club and these were main
tanned until November l when they
moved into their new building.
The lodge has always been active
in benevolent work and no worthy ap-
peal for charity has ever been neglect

the order have always been consistent
