While the advent of hunters into

Last Sunday Mr.. Debs in uncon-

to pull him through.
The man who five times was chos-

and was active in labor and social
list circles for more than a third of a
century, carried on always under the
handicap of heart disease, the doc

Since he was 10 years old he has
suffered from myocarditis, and it
was that, with a complication of kid
ney trouble, which placed him in the
shadow of death.
