Tuesday morning shortly after
eight O'Clock, Mrs. Helena Roos, one

women, passed away. Death came
as a relief to her for she had been an
invalid for the past eight years and
gradually grew weaker and weaker un-
til the end came. She had the mis-
fortune to sustain fall eight years
ago, resulting in a fracture Of the hip
from which she never fully recovered
and she was forced to use crutches.

really suffered no pain for the past two,
years. In her case it was simply a
slow ehhinp life c1rrent
