The death of Mrs. Eva Fox on

relatives and many friends in this
city and vicinity. She was operated
upon at the hospital on June 20. The
operation was performed by DR.. Her
bert Leopold, of the Hahnemann staff.
Hell condition shortly after the opera
ton was SO favorable that a rapid re-
covery was looked for, but unexpect-
ed complications developed and her
life was hanging by a slender thread
for two or three days before the end
came.
Mrs. Fox was n of the b~est-known
and most popular women on the Main
land. For several years she held a
position in the Weaver Department
Store and was greatly loved by the
patrons of the store from various sec
tions of the county.
Mrs. Fox al a Pleasantville girl,
educated in the P~leasantville schools,
first in Smiths Landing and later at
the High School in Pleasantville,
where she was known as Eva Bowen
before her marriage to Howard Fox,
bookkeeper for the ~Pleasantville Gas
Company.
Mrs. Fox is survived by her hus-
band, her ~16-year-old son Alton, her
mother and three sisters. The Foxes
resided at 10S South Chester avenue.
The remains were brought from Phila-
delphia Wednesday by Undertaken
William b. Parsels. The funeral sery-
ices will be held at Salem Methodist
Church, of which Mrs. Fox was a
prominent meIpber. this Friday at 8
p. M. Interment will be at the Pleas
antville Cemetery.
The cause of the death was uremic
poisoning. Mrs. Fox had been a suf-
ferer for many years and an opera
ton was finally decided upon to re-
lieve her. 1t was not considered an
unusually serious operation nor was
it an operation which had to be per-
formed at once, but Mrs. Fox decided
she would rather go under the opera
ton now rather than wait until fall.

HOME MANICURE

From time to time I receive re- quests for complete manicure dfrec- tions Manicuring is a very simple art with which every woman who pre- tends to take care of herself should be familiar. It requires neither a great deal of time nor an expensive equipment, and only moderate amount of skill.
 You will need a long flexible steel file with a pointed end, bowl to hold water, an orangewood stick, some emery papers, a buffer, polishing paste, a tiny jar of cream or vase line, perhaps a small bottle of special bleach.
 First of all, file the nails to a be- coming shape, not to long and point ed, not too short and round. Then soak them for several minutes in the bowl of warm soapy water to which little lemon juice has been added. Dry them and clean under the nail with the point of the file bringing up all the rough loose pieces of skin. File these off with a bit of emery board. You now begin the import ant part of the manicure, which is the treatment of the cuticle. We all agree that it shouldn't be cut, yet there are times when it can't be help ed The manicure is not successful if the cuticle is not left smooth and even.
 With the point of the file scrape from the nail all the bits of dead skin 1oosened by the soaking, clip the ragged bits from round the edges of the nail and pressing the skin back

CHAPTER XXVIII More Bottle Talk.

More Bottle Talk.
 There are some other things that I want to tell you about my bottle. If I don't stop talking about my bot tie pretty soon, you will think I am the original Of Don Marquis l.Old Soak.
 You know now that I have one bottle a day of the mixture made of one-half certified milk and one-haf water, boiled together for three min- utes and stirred constantly. I now have one-quarter of a teaspoonful of that while the sugar is put in our food simply for the food value of it, I can see that am going to develop a sweet tooth, for T sure do like it better with a little sugar in it.. I shall need watching when I get to the age when I can get into the sugar bowl and jam pots. Don't tell my Mama.
 You will want to know how Mama knew just about how much of the mixture to give me-. Well, a rough rule to go by is this: We babies usually can take one ounce to one and one- half ounces more milk than we are months old. As I am over two months old now, Cherie makes up about three and one-half ounces for my one feeding.
 
 half water and one level teaspoonfuI of sugar for two or three months longer. Mama will gradually increase the milk and water, adding about one-Quarter of an ounce every week, so that by the end of the month I shall be getting one ounce more.. The sugar she won't increase after she reaches one teaspoonful, as that will be sufficient for the one feeding; for two or three months.
 I told you how Mama washes my bottle and the nipple and now I shall tell how She tests the temperature to see if it is just right for me-. She lets a few drops fall on the inner side of her wrist and if it feels com fortably warm on her wrist, then it Is the right temperature. She never tests it by putting the nipple in her own mouth or by putting her finger in it, no matter how well she has washed her hands before she prepares my daily bottle.
 Speaking about testing the milk by putting the nipple in the. mouth, makes me think of what Doctor told

CADILLAC CELEBRATES
 10TH BIRTHDAY

In celebration of it's 20th birthday
 as a producer of Cadillac cars, the
 Cadillac Motor Company has purchas-
 ed for itself, as birthday present.
 a. little one-cylinder Cadillac automo-
 bile, built in 1902. The Cadillac or ganization is 27 years old and began building automobiles in 1899, but did
 not take the name of Cadillac until 1902.
 The ancient one-lunger chug-chug- ged it's. way up to the new 49-acre
 plant of the Cadillac company in De troit,s the sother day, without falter- ing. President H. H. Rice took the grandfather of Type 61 out for a spin, and returned pronouncing the old car as ttfit as 8 fidd1e.''
 The model A "Caddie has a curved hood concea1ing the water tank, a | chain drive, and a motor amidships.
 It cranks from the side.
 The nucleus of the present Cadillac Motor Car Company was organized
 in 1895, when a group of men formed a company.for the production of gears for "chain1ess'' bicycles.
 The second milestone marking the progress of Cadillac came in 1899 when the Detroit Automobile Com pany was organized. This company
 changed to Cadillac Automobile Com- pany in 1902. Since 1905 the organi- zation has been known as the Cadillac Motor Car Company
 The first big ripple was caused by Cadillac in January 1903, when the SoL1pd1ly cAlliblLSu IilS 1dAouS OIlS- iunger at the New York Auto Show. Even more comment was excited in early 1905, when Cadillac present ed a 4-cylinder car at the great eastern auto show In 1908 this American machine in- vaded England to compete for the | Dewar trophy. Cadillac won because
 of its standardization, that is, perfect interchangeab of like parts. Again, in 1914, the Cadillac won the trophy from European competitors,
 this time for all-round excellence. Electrical devices, including self
 cranking. contributed among other things to this victory for Cadillac. The Cadillac car took leading part in the world war, being the official seven-passenger car for the United States Army as well. as several Europ- can powers. A Type 57, officially designated by the Canadian Army as Cadillac Broad Arrow 445S2 was the | first car of the allied armies to cross | the Rhine This "Caddie'. made it's | invasion of Germany on November 18 1 1918, a week after the signing of the armistice.
 Cadillac has pioneered in many fields, chief among them being: The
 cognition aborad; Re first to intro
 cranking, lighting and ignition; the
 first to develop thermostatic control | of engine temperature; the first te l introduce and develop successfully 1 the V-type, high-speed, eight-cylindel el | engine; and finally, in the new Type | 61, first to introduce thermostatic | control of cafbufetion
