MRS. F. B. ADAMS.

The sudden death of Emma E. Met
calf, wife of DR.. Frederick B. Adams,
which was announced in our Tuesday
issue, was an inexpressible shock to her
great host of friends in this city and vi
cinity. AS stated i'll that brief announce
ment, she was not stricken until Satur-
day night, but her condition grew worse
so rapidly that the combined efforts of
her husband, the hastily summoned spec
lailst and trained nurse were to no pur-
pose. The cause of her demise was spinal
meningitis. The deceased was born in
this city in June, 1871, and was married
to DR.. Adams June 10, 1892. Just twelve
months ago the couple moved from their
home of many years in Spofford block,
to their new home at 80 Chestnut street,
occupying the house in which Mrs Adams
girlhood had been spent, but which last
year was remodelled into one of the most
attractive residences in the city. Within
the refined influences of this beautiful
home, sharing her husbands interest in
his profession, and deeply concerned in
the city's social welfare, life held for her
nothing but brilliant promise. Mrs Adams
was a member of the Shakespeare So
ciety and Rubinstein Club, and had been
president of the former. She organized
the local chapter of the American Red
Cross, and until the present quarters were
secured, gave up to it her rooms on the
second floor of the same block In taking
on the burden and responsibility of this
great work she toiled increasingly and
brought herself to a nervous condition
which made it imperative for her to re-
linquish these duties. She Joined the
Congregational Church in 1914, and was
one of the teachers in its Sunday school.
She was vitality interested in all matters
of community welfare and general uplft.
No woman gave herself more unselfshly
to things in the interest of the common
veal. Hers was trained mind, possess

INDUSTRY AND THRIFT.
Prof. Carver Tells How Prosperity
Will Come.

1.-The two great programs for pros
perlty for all times" said Professor
Carver of Harvard, who is deeply in.
terested in the educational side of the
War Savings Committee, "are indus
try and thrift We must reduce the
amount of idleness. We must reduce
the amount Of extravaganza. You can
Jay 1t down as an absolutely universal
proposition that wherever production
exceeds consumption, and in propor
ton as production exceeds consump-
ton, there is progress. Wherever
consumption exceeds production.
there is retrogression. By consump-
ton, understand, I mean using mate
rial things for personal qualification,
In a sense, but Incorrectly, one is said
to be consuming coal when one uses
1t in an engine to produce steam. 1t
is being used up, it Is true, but it is
being used productivity. In proper
ton as it is used in such ways, we
have more goods rather than less. But
using an excess of coal in keeping too
many rooms warm, or keeping them
too warm, Is luxurious consumption
Nothing comes of it; you have nothing
to show for it afterward.
How can we possibly consume more
than we produce? The answer to that
Is very simple If we slow down our
building operations SO that we do not
keep up with the deterioration of the
old buildings, we have used up more
buildings than we have built in a Civ
en- year. The rate of consumption
exceeds the rate of production You
can apply that rule, not simply to
building, but to the making of ma
chimes and tools. If we use so much
of our man-power producing things
that are used for immediate gratifica-
ton, and spend 50 little energy for
durable construction as not to replace
the destruction Of those durable
things. we have retrogression, things
are going down. That, | believe, is an
absolute and universal principle, al
ways and everywhere operative
I'm that part of the world where
production exceeds consumption, civ
lllzation is going up hill That is
where wealth is accommodating and
where durable things are being built
That principle must be applied here
and now, where there is so much re-
building to be done. In war, it is not
expected that production can keep up
with destruction or deterioration. It
is quite possible, also, that production
should fall behind deterioration in
time of peace. but this could happen
only in thriftless community. 1t is
by thrift that durable construction
keeps up with or exceeds deterora-
ton and destruction. 1t is by using
money and man-power for permanent
or future needs and not by using it
all for the temporary needs of the i'm
mediate present"

Getting Your Goat

Just now the phrase Getting your
goat" is not slang, however apparent
may be the resemblance. t is rather
a subject for consideration by subur
ban dWellers, in connection with the
milk situation. because OF the high
cost of grain, ana scarcity OF labor,
some farmers are dispOsing OF their
herds, and the constantly soaring
prices of milk and milk products are
a source of much anxiety. Growing
children need milk but under present
conditions many are unable TO get it,
and when they are so fortunate, it is
often Of so poor quality as to have
but little food value.
The Swiss mich goat is especially
adaptable to small farms and suburb
an lots. She is the gentlest Of ami
mails, and very n5elligent-an ideal
pet for children. A doe will supply
enough milk for the average family.
While diet of tin cans is not especial
ly to be recommended, the goat re-
quires but little in the way of expen-
sive food 1t will eat the lawn clippings
and table scraps A wide range is not
necessary for its happiness, but it is
we'll to supply the back yard with an
exerciser to work off surplus energy.
Your goat will not only furnish rich
milk at low cost, but release consid-
cradle amounts of money for Uncle
Sam for 1t is a foreg0ne conclusion
that small savings will find their way
into War Savings Stamps. By getting
your goat lessons of kindness to AMI
mails and thoughtfulness for their
care, playful companionship and nu-
tritious food are provided for your
children, and the investment in War
Savings Stamps of the money saved,
will insure a snug nest-egg for them
when they arrive at maturity.
BY getting your goat, you will
put delicious milk and cheese up
on your table, roses upon the chill
dren's cheeks, and your purchases of
War Savings Stamps will help to put
our country where it belongs,-at the
head of the world.

BIZ CAREFUL AFTER FEVER,

Many Fatal Cases of Kidney Trouble Can
be Traced to Some Infectious Disease.

Colds, feverS and infectious diseases
very often leave the kidneys weak. So
little attention is given the condition of
the kidneys during recovery from the
original trouble that severe attack of
kidney disease often follows Here's how
it happens. The kidneys are worked hard
enough in healthy times. They have to
filter the blood. In any germ disease the
blood is loaded with extra posons ma de
by the disease germs. This overWork
tends to weaken the kidneys. After
colds, grip, scarlet fever, typhoid, me sles,
pneum onia, diphtheria. tonsilitis or chick

HEALTHY BOWELS

Nine-tenths of human sickness, from
infancy to old age, comes from stomach
OF bowels being out of order.
Headaches, tired feeling, nervous de-
preston, weakness, spots before the eyes.
bad breath, sleeplessness, irritability, diz-
ziness and many other signs of sickness
stop, if you treat the stomach and bowels
right and get them into working order.
The prescription, known as DR.. True's
Elixir, has done wonders for sick people,
men, women and children, because it is
the one remedy that you can rely on to
bowels.
Sold by all druggists, big or little,
everywhere. Druggists, as rule, are
very honest They do not try to substi-
tute something else for DR.. True's Elixir,
because they know it's value. Many drug
gists use it in their own families.
