STATE HEALTH BOARD WILL VISIT SYRACUSE Some Time This Winter And Ex- > hibit Specimens, Slides, Etc., To The Public. ti: Editor Journal, Syracuse, lud. Dear Sir: Permit it to be announced through your paper that the State Board of Health will some time this sgwinter visit Syracuse withits public health exhibit. We will give notice at least two weeks ahead of our coming. This exhibit consists of charts, pictures, diagrams, maps, statistical tables, pathological specimens, cartoons, photographs, all illustrating various phases of disease prevention. You know we are gradually drifting away from the idea of cure. Cure is expensive and absolute cure is very rarely obtained. We are becoming wise enough to depend upon prevention. Heretofore people have been more interested in trying to escape the evils orsin rather than preventing sin itself. This idea is impractical and quite foolish, yet we are guilty of having chose n it. We prefer to show the public health exhibit in an empty store room.' Charts, banners, cartoons, etc., are attached to the walls on every side and upon tables through , the center of the store room we place photographs, mottoes, microt copes, pathological specimens, etc. The man in charge carries a stere(ptican with moving picture attach- 1 ment. Two lectures will be given i every day upon some phase of dis- < ease prevention work and these lec- 1 tures wjll always be followed by I moving pictures. The lecture will i be illustrated with still slides. Dr. 1 Owens, educational secretary of the State Board of Health, is in charge of the exhibit, and when possible the Secretary also comes for a day or two where the exhibit is display- 1 cd, and makes lectures. Special f 1 ‘Ctures upon school hygiene will be 1 given to teachers and trustees and 1 others interested. Special lectures upon the health of children will be given to mothers, and if desired, a lectdre will be given to married \.ameu upon the social plagues and < how they may be prevented. < You will hear again from us on j this subject. Os course, the object of our exibit is to teach the people how to avoid disease, and if the public health can be bettered one or two per cent, there will be a great increase in wealth and happiness which will follow. Very truly yours, J. N. Hurty, Secretary.

DEATHS OCCURRING THE PAST WEEK Mortuary Record And Funeral Announcements Os Grim Reaper’s Victims. NATHANIEL CROW Nathaniel Crow, son of Joseph and Martha Crow, was bom in Champaign county, Ohio. Oct. 13th. 1823; died Nov. 2, 1912, aged 89 years and 20 days. Mr. Crow spent the years of his childhood till the year 1839 on his father’s farm at which date he went to Madison county, Ohio, where he worked for six years as a farm hand. In 1845 he came to Kosciusko Co., locating first in Van Buren township where he procured an 80-acre tract of land by trading his horse, saddle and bridle and paying S2O additional. Later this tract was sold and the proceeds invested in section 24 of Turkey Creek township, the site of the present home. On Oct. 14, 1852 Mr. Crow was united in marriage with Miss Eliza Airgood of Elkhart county, who had come with her patents from Germany to the United States in 1832. Immediately after marriage they came to the newly acquired home and together faced the stern realities of developing the farm and acquiring additional land until the present results have been attained. Their home was blessed with the coming of eight children. Four sons, George W„ Benjamin 8., Charles S., and Nathaniel L.; and four daughters, Sarah J., Lucy A., Nellie and Mattie M.

Again and again has the dark horse and its rider called at this home till the mother and seven of the children have passed beyond the portals from which none return. Mattie M. the only child survives and with her there is left to mourn, in this sad hour, seven grandchildren and three greatgrandchildren. Under the labors of Elder George Thomas and Rev. David Keplinger Mr. Crow experienced religion in 1856, and while he identified himself with none of the denominations of the Christian religion he applied himself in a practical way to the orinciples of true and righteous living. It is not unfitting to notice that the heroes that win the laurels upon the fields of carnage amid the roar of cannon and the flow of blood, re ceive the praise of courts and nations, and the medals of crowns and societies, while the patient daughter who through the long nights of affliction and sorrow tenderly cares for the father or mother, receives but a passing notice. It is well that the better records are kept above. Twelve days before, his death, Mr. Crow suffered a slight stroke of paralysis, which rendered hin unable to walk. All that could be done by the loving daughter and his affectionate grandchildren, Mrs. Rpe Knox, Violet Dull and Louisa Doll was did with faint hopes for his recovery. He constantly expressed himself as sorry to be of any trouble or care. Mr Crow by his strong intellect, his upright manhood and his achievement of success, won to himself a large circle of friends. And with a faith and confidence unshaken in thg. everlasting Father and with silent and unpretentious communion with Him who is invisible, he faced the end to which all are coming. EDWARD WINKENWERDER John Edward Winkenwerder was born in Mecklenburg, Germany, September 17, 1826. When 21 years old he came to America and settled at Watertown, Wis., where he spent the greater part of his life. On Dec. 3, 1855 he married Margaret Breidenbach, also of Watertown This union continued 57 years. Twelve children were born to them, four of whom preceded the father to the other realm. The eight living children, with the aged companion and a number of grandchildren mourn his departure. He united with the German M. E. church at Water town in 1858, and was a member of this church when called home on Oct. 31, : 1912, at the advanced age of 86 years, 1 month and 14 days. Mr, Winkenwerder has been in the home and faithful care of his daughter and her companion, Mr. and Mrs. Seehawer for about 11 years. A short ' funeral service was conducted at the home of Mr. Seehawer Nov, 3, 1912. The body was then accompanied by ; his son of Chicago to Watertown for interment, CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank all our neighbors and friends who so kindly assisted us in many ways during the sickness and death of our husband and father. .

NAPPANEE BOY SHOT; HAS ARNUMP UTATED Donald Stoops Accidentally Shot On Lake Wawasee Last Wednesday. _ I V' 3 Donald Stoops, aged nearly 17 years and son of Claud R. Stoops of Nappanee, manager of the Home Telephone Co. there, was so badly injured in an accidental shooting in a boar on Lake Wawasee last Wednesday aftenoon at 3:30 o’clock that his left arm was amputated one and a half inches below the shoulder by Drs. Price and Ford. Only recently the Stoops boy recovered from a siege of typhoid fever and his mother last Monday took him .to recuperate. He was accompaified by Donald Doswell, aged 17 years and son of C A. Doswell. a Nappanee ‘florist. The two boys were in a row boat on a duck hunting trip when the accident occurred. Stoops had a hammerless gun and Doswell’s weapon was one with a hammer. The supposition is that the guns became exchanged in the boat and that when Stoops attempted to shoot he unconsciously took bold of the Doswell gun. Not being accustomed to the hammer, the discharge was unexpected anff the load struck the left arm, with horrifying results. A telephone message was sent to Mr. Stoops at Nappanee that his son had been injured and he, with Dr. Price, hurried to Wawasee in an auto. The victim was then taken to Nappanee, where the amputation was made.
