BLOWS TOP OF HEAD :. as
OF WITH SHOT GUN
CONTINUED from Page One)

April 30, 1915. Following his we'd
ding trip he returned to Wilawona,
Pennsylvania, just over the New York
state line, where he sold his farm and
then came to Putnam to join his wife,
who was living with her father,
George Mills. Mrs. McDuffee was
sufferer from gaIl stones and went to
ST. Vincent's hospital, Worcester,
where an operation was performed.
She died at the hospital last May and
her death was a great blow to Mr..
McDuffee, who never recovered from
the shock.
In addition to brooding over the
death of his wife, Mr. McDuffee's eye
sight became impaired He sought the
advice of several occulists and be
came worried over this trouble. Then
liberated teeth developed. He had
three teeth extracted, thinking that
this may have been cause of his eye
trouble He got temporary relief and
told number of people that he had
found the cause of his suffering. But
the trouble returned and he grew
morose again He had often told
friends that there was a pressure in
his head that would surely cause it to
burst. 1t was apparent that the man
was in great physical pain and under
strong mental pressure. To few
people who were close to him his act
did not cause such great surprise.
Mr. McDuffee was of genial dispo-
sition and made friends easily. He
was well liked and popular. He was
a 32nd degree Mason and took an in
terest in the local lodge and chapter.
He was also a member of the Putnam
Country Club and became an enthusi-
asst over golf until his failing egesight
caused him to give up the game. He
was also a member of the Arcanum
Club.
When Mr.. McDuffee first came to
Putnam he was for time a rural
carrier at the local postoffiee. Then
he became local representative for a
farm agency, but gave this up few
( weeks ago. He was man of means
/ and there was no occasion for his
worrying over money matters.
Little is known of Mr.. McDuffee's
life before he came to Putnam. As
far as known here he has no near rel
atives. Friends began making an at
tempt to get in communication with
people in New York state who might
know more about him. Not long age
Mr. McDutfee hadamonument erected
in the Grove street cemetery and his
name and the date of his birth are
carved on il.

RED CROSS CHRISTMAS SEALS


The campaign for the sale Of the
Red Cross Christmas Seals has taken |
constructive shape during the past
few days, and shortly all counties or
Florida will be organized for tha
work.
This drive, which axes place ear
" in December, will be under the
auspices of the Florida Anti-Tubercu-
losis Association, which has been
conducting an educational campaign
for sometime past, which is proving
of great advantage TO Florida. This
Association has a membership com
prising men and women who stand at
the head for benevolent work in Flo
rida and all through the war they
were identified with the various pa
triotic movements.
To fight tuberculosis IN Florida, |
necessarily requires money as well
as energy and brains. The funds for
. such fight are derived from the
sale of the Red Cross Christmas
Seals. Every single community In
Florida will be organized and the
seals offered for sale, and everyone
will thus be given an opportunity toll
aid in a campaign which means sol
much to the state and somuch happi !
ness in many homes.
Drives during and since the war,
said r. H. HixsOn, Executive Secre-
tary OF Florida NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

torious. They were all deserving.

wonderful service for the world. We
have tided in the partial reconstruc
ton OF Europe. but it is impossible
for the United States alone, TO re-
construct Europe, and our own needs
are certainly more imperative right
now The American needs are from
our standpoint, the most necessary,
and all drives should now, and for o
season at least be American and

We have our own sums we have

the funds come from the sale OF th@

II will be of interest to know that
the money raised in each and every

HOW FAST DOGS CAN RUN

(From the Forest and Stream)
 A fox terrier, as we all know, will follow his masters carriage for hours with no signs of fatigue. Wolves will travel 50 miles in a night. Nan sen saw Arctic foxes on the ice near ly 500 miles from land. Eskimo dogs can travel 45 miles in five hours, according to an authority who re- lates that he once drove his dog team seven miles in half an hour. A Siberian dog, on good ice. will draw about 80 pounds; ordinary do mestic dogs, at full speed, run at the rate of from B to 49 feet sec ond; setters and pointers about IS 1-2 to 21 7-1O miles an hour, and they can maintain this speed for two or even three hours. FoXhounds are very fast and in a recent trial one of them beat a thoroughbred horse, covering four miles in six ard half minutes. Greyhounds can run at the rate of 59 to 75 feet a second Horses cannot exceed 63 feet a second.

MILK IN WINTER

Why do your cows give less milk in winter than they do in summer? Just because nature does not supply them with grasses and green food. But we have come to the assistance of Dame Nature with E. A. Thomas Stock Remedy which contains the very ingredients that the green feed supplies in season, only of course in a more highly concentrated form. We guarantee that this remedy will make your cows give more milk and better milk with the same feed.
