The community was saddened Mon
day afternoon upon hearing or the
death of one of our most popular
young ladies'. Miss Elizabeth Emma
Russell. only child of Martha and
Charles l.. Russell. Miss Russell was
born in Starks in August 1890, but her
parents moved to this town when she
was very young and she has since al
ways resided here, She attended the
public schools in town until her
health commenced to fail when by the
advice of physicians she gave up her
course of studies and also her music
in which she was much Interested.
After some months of resi-. most or the
time having been spent out OF doors
| she wished TO learn the millinery
business as a pastime and so when
ever she felt able acted as apprentice
for Mrs. II. y. Carr, where she made
herself very popular in the store, but
again being indoors was not good for
her health and again she had very
bad sickness from the effects of which
she never fully recovered and passed
away Monday at about I'D OF tuber-
culosis of the lungs after every aid
had been given her within human
power. Up to within very short
time Miss Russell has possessed re-
markable courage and been interested
in all that was going on about her and
especially in all kinds of fancy work
and up to the last week of her life
did beautiful work with her needle.
Mr.. and Mrs. Russell have both been
untiring in their care and devotion to
their daughter and have the deepest
sympathy of a wide circle OF friends
in their great sorrow. Miss Russell
was a member of Somerset Rebekah
Lodge, having served for some time
in the degree staff.

medicine that gets right al the trouble
and relieves it by toning the nerves,
enriching the blood, and giving new
strength and health to the whole body.
1t doesn't do this by means of alcohol
or habit-forming drugs, because it
contains none. Its strength and
health-giying power is due to pure
Olive Oil and the Hypophosphites, long
endorsed by successful physicians, the

= Washington-Assurances have been
given the British government by the
state department that the bill intro
duced by Senator Hitchcock to pro-
hibit the export OF munitions of war
and arms and war supplies to beliger-

administration.

about proposed legislation and was
told by Secretary Bryan that 1t was
not introduced at the suggestion of
the executive branch of the govern
ment. American Ambassador Page in
London who cabled to ask about prob
able outcome of the attempt at such
legislation also was advised that SEN

ure.
Secretary Bryan has declined to
make any comment on the merits of
the measure and no other official of

CONGRESS DROPS NEW PROJECTS

Under Process Of Con-
struction.

Washington.-The annual river and
harbor appropriation bill carrying $3f.-
13S,590 for waterway improvements
throughout the country has been COM
pleted by the house river and harbor
committee. Estimates of the army
engineers were reduced by nearly $780,
100000 and the bill appropriates only
for work on projects which have al
ready been begun. making no provis-
ion for new undertakings.
Following the defeat of the river
and harbor bill at the last session of
congress and the appropriation of $780,
100000 to maintain work on existing
projects the board of engineers sub
mitted estimates aggregating s53.000,-
900. These the committee, according
to Chairman Sparkman, pared to the
bone"
All of the big improvement projects
were involved in the effort to reduce
the appropriations. The bill gives tho

mended.
The Delaware receives the fullest,
an appropriation of $1,5OO,OO0.
AS agreed to by the committee the
measure carries no legislative pro-
posal to alter the present method of
making appropriation for waterway
Improvement. No action was taken on
the various reform plans recently agi-
tated, including the proposal of Sem
ator Newlands which has at least the
partial Endorsement of the admins

Dor expenditures.
