Some folks and it is pleasure to note
that they are not so very numerous, are
always bewailIng their condition in life,
and looking with envy upon others. A
striking lesson to such may well be
learned from the life of Miss Mollie Fam
cher, who died in Brooklyn, N. Y, last
week after spending fifty years in bed,
helpless invalid, the result of an accident.
A frail woman, yet she manifested the
bravest spirit and patiently and cheer
fully bore all these years the aflction
that was hers. In spite of this she trans
muted sufferings into happiness. thereby
putting to shame those who dispair their
lot, even though in the full possession OF
health. The lesson Miss Fancher taught
in her inhrmity is greater than can be
expressed by gifted oratory.

Wilcox. The costumes, with the excep-
ton of those worn by the principals,
which we're rented from the Hooker
Howe Co. of Haverhill, Mass, were made
by the girls, under the direction of Miss
Badger.
The girls of p. A. should be congratu-
lated upon producing such a thoroughly
finished and artistic entertainment, es-
pecially in view o. the fact that Morris
town does not support a course in music
in the schools, and therefore the girls
had no professional training. The operet-
ia was staged with almost no assistance
except that given by the members of the
faculty and students and reflects much
credit upon all in the presentation.
The prizes offered to the students SELL
ing the most tickets were won by Harold
Gates and Ethel Dyke, who sold forty

Pneumonia

Ten per cent of the deaths in the United

Seventy per cent of all cases occur be
tween December and May. 1t is distinct
| ly cold weather infection, seemingly
brought by wintry blasts, but especially
prevalent during the winter season only
because its victims are rendered more
susceptible at that time by exposure, de-
bilitating influences and the presence of
predisposing infections.
Pneumonia principally eff cts those at
the extremes OF life, but no ageis exempt
1t is invariably a germ disease The
combination of the lack of food and IA
tieue proves particularly disastrous dur
ing the winter season and is condition
to be avoided whenever possible. Bad
housing, mental or physical harrassment,
and overwork are alike the advance
agents OF infection. Over crowGing pub

and schoolhouses is unquestionably in

nate coughing and other means of infec-
ton, as well as the directly injurious ef-
fects which Inevitably result from expos
ure to such environment. The overhead
ing of rooms is also seemingly harmful.
A most important remaining agent
should be mentioned-alcohol. 1t is in
ruth the handmaiden of pneumonia and
here is none more certain or more sure
IF success, especially if literally and con-
inuousy used.
The United States Public Health ser

of the reasons for the wide

'arries with it mortality of from ten to |
thirty per cent. But it should be remem-

complete. There are problems connected |
With immunity, predisposition, and the
occurrence of epidemics which are yet to
De solved.
1t is known that pneumonia frequently
attacks those who are perfectly well, and |
who apparently have observed every by

other causes is unexplained. 1t is, how

ings Sunday marked the laying of the

two essential features, consecrated tel
el:t and consecrated possessions. The

Lutheran church gave three excellent
numbers, and the Bethel Ladies quar-
tel gave several pleasing numbers.
Ernest o. Brostrom of Kansas City,
the architect for the new structure,
gave brief address, and in the eve
ming he surprised the audience by Civ
inR an excellent solo.
The procession to the church from
the high school auditorium was head
ed by the local pastor and the Rev
o. E. Almstrom of Brantford, presi-
dent of the Kansas and Missouri

church, the names of all it's mem
bers from the day of its beginning, a
Swedish Bible, five Swedish religious
papers and the new Swedish paper.

dred persons. The corner stone has
the inscription, Swedish Bethel Mis-
sion church, 1S73-1916." President

The work on the church will pro-
ceed with full force. Tulien brothers

walls. The large window on the north
will be a memorial window to the
founder of the church, the Rev. Ieter
Person. The window will be gift by
