Not only one home, but the entire
community was saddened when word
was received by Mrs. Mary E Stout
of this city of the death Of her son,
Sergeant VIM. w. Stout, who was kill
ed in an automobile accident at Camp
Dix, New Jersey. Saturday evening.
No particulars of the accident have
been learned by the family.
VIM. w. Stout was the son of VIM
o. and Marry e. Potter) Stout. and
was born March 6, 1892. at Thayer,
Mo, being at the time OF his death
aged &c years, months and Z days
The father was native of Ohio and
the mother of this state. Sergeant
Stout spent his early life at the home
in Thayer. coming to Carthage some
three or four years ago, where he
was employed as assistant operator
at the 20" station in this city, where
he made many friends with travellers
and the public generally, by his strict
attention and courteous manner at at
tending business. In November, 1916,
he was transferred to Ursa, where
he acted as railroad agent until the
time OF his enlistment for service OF
his country, he having enlisted in
September, and went with a number
of Adams county boys being first at
Camp Dodge, then later at Camp Pike
in Little Rock, Arkansas, and about
six weeks ago went to Camp Dix. He
was a member of the wireless field
artillery, and had passed his overseas
examination about July first, and was
only waiting the call to go over and
do service at the front, only too anx'
ious for that time to come in order
that his services might be of avail to
his country, but alas, he did not get
! to reap the results OF his intensive
training, meeting his death in his home
country.
Sergeant Stout was in perfect health
and while the mother had felt some
uneasiness as to his welfare, yet these
fears were buried with her, each com
munication from her son renewing
her hopes and aspirations for her lad
who was soon to go overseas to serve
his country.
Sergeant Stout leaves surviving in
this city, his mother, Mrs. Mary E
Stout, and a brother, Clarence Stout

If you are not strong or well you owe it
to yourself to make the following test: See
how long you can work or how far you can
walk without becoming tired. Next take
two hve-grain tablets of NuSsted Iron three
times per day after meals for two weeks
Then test your strength again and see for
yourself how much you have gained. There
