Mrs. Annie Stephens, nee Collins
was born in London September 10,
1847. Her spirit departed from this
life Wednesday night, February 9th.
She was apparently feeling well that
day, having performed her household
duties and so the Arch Angel, Death,
found her serving up to the very last.

girl of seven years old, she was brot
to America and resided in Superior
Wisconsin. Thence she lived in On
tonagon, Michigan and it was at that
place she was married to Joseph
Stephens. A few years later she
came to Linden, which place for more
than fifty years has been her home.
There were six children born to them
Charles, Joseph, Alvin, Nicholas,
Mary and Elizabeth, two of whom
survive, Nicholas of Cobb, and Mrs.
Will Fitzsimons of Avoca. There are
also fifteen grandchildren and nine
eat-grandchildren.
Her long residence in this cOmmu-
nifty, her everything desire to serve
others has endeared her to all. Her
FplloIe -iifeefas been one of self-sacri-
flee and service. Surely she hath
done what she could.
Mrs. Stephens was for many years
down to the end of life a member or
the Linden Methodist Episcopal
Church.

Government in Business

When sugar went up, a. lot of peo-
pie criticized the government because
it hadn't bought the whole Cuban
crop when the price was much lower.
To be sure, there was no precedent
for such action, and these critics
would most of them have condemed
the government if it had bought, still
it looked easy to criticize then. Up
in Newfoundland, they must have
read some of this, for the govern
ment bought lot of sugar when the
price was up and no one could say it
wasn't going higher, with the result
that Newfoundland is now paying 25
cents for sugar The sugar gouge was
an imposition and only short of a
crime; it is greatly to be regretted
that no one went to Jail for
it. But examples of governments
going into business are not inspiring
enough to feel any permanent sor--
row that our government has stayed
out.-Milwaukee Journal.

Mineral Point Public Library

whicH-will tend to refine and elevate

find many interesting books, some
for pleasure and entertainment and
some for serious reading and study.
Parents and teachers are asked to en-
courage the children to come to the
library and make good use of it's priv
ileges. 1t is especially hoped that chill
dren will take proper care of the
books borrowed and return them
promptly and in good condition.
A number of new books for chill
dren has recently been purchased and
will be shown at the library on
Thursday; but will not be loaned un-
til Saturday. 1t is hoped in this
way to give more people an oppor-
tunity to see these attractive books.

Children of Mineral Point

To the Editor of The Democrat:
Did your child's report card come
marked to show you that your child
is underweight for it's height? So
did mine. It meant that he is under
nourished. 1t did not mean necess-
arily that he is underfed.
Undernourished children are those
whose food does not assimilate suf-
ficiently to bring their weight up to
that of average children Of their
height.
This does not necessarily mean
that they do not get enough to eat,
for, although it may mean that, it is
very unlikely in Mineral Point. Sta
tistics tell us that there are as many
undernourished children on the Lake
Shore drive in Chicago as in the Ghet
to, in proportion to the number of
children
This underweight may be caused
from the child's having the wrong
kind of food, from swallowing the
food without chewing, from too little
rest, from too little fresh air, from
overwork either at school or at home
and often from too much excitement.
Let us examine our children who are
stantly than that of any one else, and
decide for ourselves which or how
many of these causes help to keep
our children below normal.
We learned many things from the
child welfare program at Platteville.
Among them was that an average
,child's breakfast should consist of a
shall dish of prunes, a dish of oat-
meal with cream, an egg, a slice of
coarse bread or toast, and cup of
cocoa or a glass of milk. We learned
that the principle articles OF diet
which our children should not have
are tea and coffee. We learned that
he should go to bed early, and sleep
with his window open.
Perhaps Miss Huff, the physical
director of our schools can make sug-
gestions for your child; try her. We
must bear in mind that our children
win never have a fair chance in this
world unless they are physically fit
as the average child, at least, to fight
it's battles.
