Just what the total death toll taken
on the battlefelds of Europe it has
not been completely and automatically
compiled as yet.
But 1t is known that since the war
in Europe began 100000 citizens of
the United States have died from pre-
ventable, or at least postponable dis
eases of the heart, arteries and kid.
neys, including apolexy.
The most probable reason for this
enormous and increasing loss Of adult
lives is the rapid and extraordinary
change that has been going on in our
living conditions during the past two
generations.
Before the war there was no mark

There is also significance in the
fact that during the past so years the
proportion OF our population which
has changed from physically &C.
tive to a physically inactive, or from
an outdoor to an indoor life has enor.

riett Tough, of this city. r. A. Tough,
of Morgantown, and DR.. w. G. Tough,
OF New York CITY,. A sister, Miss Ellz-
abeth Tough and a brother, Frank
Tough, died several years ago.
Mrs. Evans was woman Of splen-
did character and her long illness had
been the cause of the deepest concern
on the part Of wide circle of friends.
She was a member Of the First M E.
church and was member Of various
organizations connected with the
church. She was actively engaged in
church work until prevented by fail
ing health. She was member of the
Woman's club and Of the William Hay
mond Chapter of the Daughters Of the
American Revolution.
During the months of her invalidism
Mrs. Evans had been the object of the
most devoted attention on the part OF
her husband and members Of her fam
lily who have the sincere sympthy OF
the community in their bereavement.
This afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at
the family residence private funeral
services were conducted by her pas

INDUSTRIAL
FAIRMONT

A branch cigar factory has been OPP
ened in the old normal school building
on Main street by the Warrington
Cigar Company and the plant is now
in operation. The cigar company
bought the equipment which was used
by ]. H. Krahl, who operated stogie
factory in the building for few
months and who is nov engaged in a
similar enterprise somewhere In
Ohio" Mr.. Krahl had difficulty in Sc
curing labor from the first day that
he attempted to operate and the prob
lem finally became 90 serious that he
was compelled to sell out and close
the plant. However the new mana
Rers state that they are having no
difficulty whatever in this respect,
they have sixteen machines in opera
ton at present and are preparing to
install four more within a few days.
The new plant was opened only last
Monday and the output for the first
week was forty-seven thousand which,
considering the fact that the plant did
not get into full swing until the lat
ter part of the week, is a very auspic
ious beginning and promises much for
the success Of the Undertaking. j. s..
Haggerty is the manager Of the new
factory and E. v. Bartlett is assistant
manager. The Warrington Cigar
Company has outgrown its Manning
ton factory and has taken this means
of increasing its output.
