Grim Reaper Summons Young Man
Without a Moments Warning

While at Carson hot springs Last
evening enjoying himself with a party
OF companions, Bryan Ruff, nine
teen-yearold boy, suddenly and with
mons. With two boy friends, William
Kicker and Leonard Sullivan, Ruff
was in the big tank, swimming back
and forth. According to the story Ct
his companions he had reached the tar
end Of the tank, where the water is
from six to eight feet deep, and SUD
denly sank, giving no warning OF
the plight he was in. This &C
ton attracted the attention of his
friends and others who were present,
and they at once began efforts to To-
cate him and draw him from the
water, but this took several minutes
time and finally when he was extri-
Gated he was unconscious but breath
ing slightly. Word was at once sent
to town for a physician and DIR. Jar
rett responded. Meantime such treat
ment as could be given was applied,
but it proved futile, and when the doe
tor arrived life was about extinct.
The authorities were then notified
and Deputy Coroner Evans went out
to the springs and with a jury con-
sisting of Fred Gushing, William Max
we'll, Fred Johnson, R. A. Smith, A.
J. Heidenreich and c. c. Smith held
an inquest on the remains After list
ening to the stories OF all present a
verdict was rendered stating that the
deceased came to his death from heart
failure, and this verdict was upheld

Gy the attending circum stances No
water was found in the lungs, as
would probably have been the case
had death been caused by drowning.
1t was stated, however, that before
going to the baths the young man had
indulged in a heavy supper and it is
more than likely that while digestion
was in progress compression caused by
contact with the heavy body of water
brought on the heart attack. No blame
can attach to anybody for the acci-
dent.
Young Ruff was employed by Will
lam Fothergill, the butcher, and was
regarded as a boy of many splendid
qualities, and his death will be re-
gretted by all. He was native of

Wives of Many British Soldiers
Have Taken to Heavy Drink

bic the government is having in its
attempts to regulate the country per-
sonal habits.
Present English saloon regulations
were adopted as war measure. The
intention was to reach two particular
classes of people-makers OF munition
and other military necessaries and the
wives OF soldiers at the. front.
The authorities contended early in
the war that excessive drinking by the
munition workers was lowering their
output. Then came the complaint
that soldiers wives were drinking too
much. These women received from
the government what are known as
Separation allowances" varying some
what with circumstances, but amount
ing approximately to from So to 81
week.
This sum, though small enough, &C
cording to- American standards, was
liberal from the viewpoint OF many
English workingmen. They also re-
ceiWed it paid into their own hands,
instead OF Being dependent on what
their husbands had previously seen
fit to give them. 1t was charged that
numbers of them spent far too large

and one upon which few of our So

Gently live, and to engender misery

readily afford to sacrifice some of our
commercial prowess to the great cause
of humanity which demands a moiety
of happiness and something resembl-
ing equality of opportunity for mil

OF motives and are bending their en-

which drop from the captalistic table,
and is compelled, by economic condi-

United States, following such reforms,
would be not less than eighty per
cent more efficient in time of interna-
Iional strife than it can ever be under
existing conditions. The kind OF
preparedness in which l most believe
is preparedness for the duty of citi-
zenship-a duty for which no man or
woman is ever wholly fitted unless he
y she shall have first been guaran-
teed the actual necessities of life in
etuTn for honest effort.
Il From war-ridden Europe, the world
is learning numerous timely lessons
in national efficiency. 1t is a matter
of record that the different nations
which are involved in the present I'M
iaTal eled conflict are devising with
utmost resourcefulness, every conceiv-
able means of outstanding their re-
sources and energies. If soldier in
one of these European armies is dis
abled i'll battle, he is not relegated
| for the rest of his life to the poor
farm or the slums. He is, on the con-
trary, carefully attended by surgeons
especially employed to return to the
~ tie line every possible human unit.
In France, at least, those soldiers
who are hopelessly crippled while
fighting for their country, are return
ed to their homes at the Nations ex-
pense and there are taught, free Of
charge, some useful trade or profess
sion by means of which their future
livelihood may be insured.
How different is the procedure in
those countries which, in times of
peace, carelessly ignore their workers
who are disabled in the course of en-
ployment. There is no more striking
illustration of mans inhumanity to
man" than the treatment that is &C
corded in this country-as in many
others-to the workingman who is
disabled by accident or sickness in
cident to his occupation. 1t is re-
proach to our civilization that a
thoughtless public extends to such a
disabled workman a repugnant char
ity, rather than timely assistance
through training for future self-sup-
port Every condition which results
in oppression and a subsequent state
of debasing want, is unworthy of
great country founded on democracy,
and must, necessarily, be done away
