" Mildred Alice Peet Mildred Alice Peet, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Peet, died at the home of her parents here early Tuesday morning, Feb. 6. She had been stricken with diabetes and as the malady developed her family was forced to watch helplessly the advances of the disease, so invariably fatal in young and old. Mildred was born in Ringwood May 3, 1910, so that she was in her thirteenth year. Altho a frail child and forced to be absent from school a great deal, she was able to maintain her standing in ho* classes and was leading them when she dropped out last week.

The course was finished everyone. Early Mildred joined the Ringwood Methodist church, of which her father is an elder. When she became aware that her affliction was mustering into a fatality she faced the inevitable with a philosophical resignation. To her four surviving sisters, Helen, Dorothy, Edna and Lucille, she parcelled out her dolls and other treasures. She selected the dress she deby a fathers' and sons' banquet.

What would you think of calling in a blind man to solvfe a series of crimes and mysterious happenings that were totally inexplicable to people with the keenest eyes? No doubt you would say that such an idea was absurd; that a blind man must depend upon the eyes of others and that he is helpless in trying to see things which they cannot see. Yet there are the facts to consider that, being entirely blind, one is not confused by a mass of details that appear to one with sight; that the blind are able to concentrate strongly and that they develop inner perception and a knowledge of those with whom they come in contact, and their motives, that is almost uncanny. Under such circumstances an intelligent blind person becomes really an efficient detective. In "The Blind Man's Eyes," a thoroly charming romance and mystery story, written by the 'clever novelists, William MacHarg and Edwin Balmer, and which will be printed as a aerial in The Plaindealer, you will find the most interesting blind man you ever encountered. In this case he was not called in to act as a detective. He brought his powers to bear on a series of mysteries which greatly concerned him, his family and friends. With your best sight and your beet mind's eye, you are not likely to Bolve these mysteries, but you can do so if you will look at them thru "The Blind Man's Eyes."

OF NORTHERN ILLINOIS McHenry people are always glad to hear from former residents and friends, therefore we are herewith submitting the life of a missionary as seen by Rev. Samuel J. Harrison, who gave up his charge as pastor of the Methodist church here to take Up the work of a missionary in the far away orient. That the life of a missionary is one of constant activity may be gathered from the following: 'What does a missionary do? Not much. He just fills in the blank spaces. Take this one for example: He spends three hours a day with his personal teacher, studying the most complicated system of hyreglyphics in the world; preaches one a week in Chinese; leads a seminar in teacher training; handles the funds and keeps records for fourteen thousand dollars a year, district budget; is building a church at one point of the district; Agency For teaches five hours a week fa middle school; conMQi'with tors and school teaehers in ways lrti^ means of work; has a correspondeno#" -H of two thousand letters a year; is di» recting students for a Christmas pa* geant. These few items in to tramping around over the roads, visiting cities where no work igt' yet opened, but which he feds should, be opened, talking with everybody about everything, from the cost of living to the cost of salvation, running moving pictures, stereopticans, distributing literature and spending tte balance of his time in hunting, playing tennis and self improvement This is the work of a missionary..

Next to dependability, comes the convcnieaoo of gas service. w As a matter of fact, we cannot dress in the morning, eat breakfast or read a newspaper, without being indebted somewhere to the "gas fairy" for the many conveniences that we enjoy. We once heard a gas man give a lecture in which he showed that everything he wore had been made with the aid of gas, either directly or indi? rectly. No young lady enjoys a soda, box of candv, a movie, or an automobile ride, to which gas has not contributed its portion of service. And when you think of the things made from gas by-products, you have a list containing thousands of useful articles, many of them necessities. Western United Gas and Electric Co. which is always a safe guide, shows that the most prosperous communities are those whose people are largely interested in Savings Institutions, training to save means sobriety, industry, inte home ownership and good citizenship. 0 % Never Rains But It Pours is true of the bills that pour in when your pay envelope stops because you are disabled.
