MRS. KATHERINE TAYLOR

illness, Mrs. Katherine Taylor passed
away on Sunday morning, July 31st,
at the residence of Mr.. Edward and
Miss Jennie Mcpherson, at Pomonkey,
where she had made her home for sew
eral years. Heart trouble was given
as the immediate cause of her death.

she was atfectionately known to many,
was born at Pomonkey on August 10,

son Compton. She was known and
beloved by all for her active and
enthusiastic interest, maintained to the
last, in st. Johns Episcopal Chapel
and the Community Club, both at
Pomonkey, and her demise leaves a
vacancy in her section which no one
can ever quite fill. This sense of loss,
however, is eased by the knowledge OF
those she leaves thather inspiring life,
lived fully and richly in the spirit OF
true christian service and helpfulness,
is notended, but still continues, though
unseen and unheard by us.
Mrs. Taylor had one son, Allie, now
deceased. She is survived by a brother,
Mr.. r. Keith Compton, Director of
Public W orks, Richmond, Va, two
sisters, Mrs. Nellie G. Jenkins OF
Pomonkey, and Mrs. Roger 1. Mann
ing of Accokeek, Prince Georges
County, and three grandchildren, Mrs.
Dorothy Taylor Bates, Miss Hetty
Taylor, and Mr.. William Taylor OF
Lignier, Pa.
The funeral took place at st. john S
Chapel, Pomonkey, Tuesday morning,
the Burial Office being read by DR..
VIM. II. Heigham of La Plata, and
the Reverend Henry G. Parkman Of
Indian Head Music was rendered by
the vested choir of St. James Church,
indian Head Interment was made in
Bumpy Oak Cemetery.
We join the many friends of the de
ceased in extending to her family oul
sincere and heartfelt sympathy in theil
loss and sorrow.

Whitefoot the Woodmouse Has a
 Shock
By Thornton W. Burgess
: Pity one whose constant fear
 h that an enemy is near. -Whitefoot the Woodmouse

That is Whitefoot's state of mind nearly all the time. I know of no one more timid than this pretty little member of the Mouse family. And it is with reason that Whitefoot is constantly afraid. You,see, there Is no one being looked for by more hungry neighbors than is Whitefoot the Woodmouse. All the members of the Hawk family, all the mem- ters of the Owl family, Reddy and Mrs. Fox. Old Man Coyote, Yowler the Bobcat, Shadow the Weasel, Billy Mink. even great big Buster Bear-all have an eye out for Nhitefoot the Woodmouse. So by day or night he is constantly ex- pecting an unpleasant surprise.
 Whitefoot had thus far spent very comfortable winter. None of his enemies had discovered where he was living. He had had several mar row escapes when he was out hunt ing for food. but each time when had reached home he had felt quite safe, for he was sure that no one had yet found out where that home was
 Now it is Q bad thing to feel too safe. People who feel very safe are prone to be careless. At least they become thoughtless. They take too much for granted. It got to be this way with Whitefoot. When he scampered home it didn't occur to him that there could be any danger In that home. No, sir, it didn't He would simply make sure that no one was watching him and then he would scamper straight into his home without even looking to see if there might be an unexpected danger there.
 Now Whitefoot's home at this time was in an old stump. The bark had partly peeled off. There were some big loose pieces clinging to the stump. One of these loose pieces covered the entrance to hole, and in that hole was Whitefoot's home. Because of that big piece of loose

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia,
 

q Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia,
 the Health Magazine
 Under present conditions the one real hope in cancer is early diagno- sis and early operation.
 Statistical evidence accumulated under the auspices of the Medical Research Council of Great Britain proves the truth of this warning.
 One group of investigators, study ing the lives of women with cancer. found that a woman with cancer of the breast who is not treated at all. can expect to live 17.2 per cent of the normal duration of her life.
 A woman operated on under or dinary conditions, may expect to live BOA per cent of her normal duration, whereas one operated on under the most favorable condi- tions may expect to live 6S.5 per cent of the normal duration.
 Results of Surgery
 In a study of women operated on for cancer of the breast in the medical institutions of Leeds, it was found that of those operated on while the growth was still confined to the breast, 90.1 per cent were alive 10 years after the operation; of those operated on after the glands under the arm had become involved, 91.S per cent were dead within 10 years after operation.
 Of the advanced cases, 94.4 per cent were dead within 10 years after operation. These figures in dicate the extreme importance Of undertaking satisfactory opera ton while the growth is still con- fined to the breast.
 Saving Years of Life
 A woman in England, 55 years of age, may normally expect to live 1887 years longer. It is estimated that 5000 cases of cancer of the breast develop among women in England and Wales each year. If all of these were operated on under the most favorable conditions. more than 30,000 years of life would be gained for the entire group.
 The expectancy of life Of wo- men whose cancer is not treated is only 3.25 years, whereas the one operated on under the best condi- tions has an expectancy of 12.9S years.
 Dr. Halsted of Johns Hopkins university found that 75 per cent of the women he operated on for this condition were alive three years after the operation.

Lillian Highly Excited After a
 Ni9ht,s Vigil

>a -
 I do not know any woman whose Donstitution is 50 resilient as Lillian's SWhen she appeared at breakfast the next morning after our visit to the night club. where, we were disap- pointed at the non-appearance of the smasked dancer, no one could have discovered the slightest tract of fa- &igue about her. Yet she had been awake for hours following our re- turn at midnight, going over some problem in which suspected Mary Harrison was q prominent factor.
 Her first question was for Mary. but. of course, that was a most natural one, in view of the young girls swoon the night before.
 "She is feeling much better" answered, for I had made an early "trip to Mary's room. She has cold and I am going to keep her in bed today. or at least this forenoon. And l shall telephone to Mir Veritzen for permission to cancel her recitations today. She really is in no condition to work"
 Mary Is Docile
 What did she say when you told her you were going to keep her in bed?" Lillian asked, and suppress ed with difficulty look of surprise, for 1t is unlike her to ask questions concerning other peoples moods.
 "She was surprisingly docile," I returned, land said that she was very glad Of the chance to stay in bed and rest"
 Lillian nodded. and there was no further mention of Mary during the rest of the meal. When it was fin ished and Dicky had gone to his office. she drew me into my bed room.

bark, no one passing that way would have suspected there was a hole ! there. Whitefoot used to look all about to be sure no one saw him, then slip under the piece of bark and enter the hole. Inside he had a fine warm bed, as comfortable a bed as one could ask for. When- ever he went out he always paused behind that piece of bark and very carefully peeped out to see that the he feared the presence of an enemy. He never failed to watch out.
 But on coming home it was differ ent. Then he merely watched out
 behind him, and once sure that he was not being followed he would
 dart inside without the least fear.
 Now, as you know, all the Green Meadows, the Green Forest, the Old Orchard and the Old Pasture were white with snow. There was snow everywhere. Whitefoot doesn't mind the snow. Truth to tell, he likes to run about on the snow. But the snow increases the danger for Whitefoot, for it makes it easier for his enemies to see him. Neverthe- less, he likes the snow There had been several storms and the old stump in which his home was was half buried in snow. Also, it was white nearly all over. for the snow had cluug to the sides, and, of course, it had piled up on top.
 It happened one moonlight night that Whitefoot returned home lit- tie earlier than usual He had had very pleasant evening without a single scare. and for Whitefoot to go through whole evening without a scare is something unusual. So, as he skipped along on the snow to- ward the big stump, he was feeling very well satisfied with the world. He had almost forgotten that there was such 8 thing as an enemy. hungry feathered or furred hunter, He was just about to jump up on the side of the old stump and scram- ble 10 the entrance to his home, when as he looked up he saw some- thing black right where he was in the habit of slipping in behind the bark in front of his door. It was hardly more than a spot of black. Perhaps he wouldn't have noticed it had it not moved. But it did move and that movement caught Whitefoot's eyes.
 He stopped short, and for a mo- ment it seemed to him that his heart actually stopped beating. Of course it didn't, but that is the feel 1 ing Whitefoot had. He couldn't | move. He felt as if he couldn't l breathe. He was experiencing one of the worst shocks of his whole life. ! You see, he knew what that black l spot was. Ii was the tip of a tail.
