It was with the shock of a sad sur­ prise that word was passed on Tuesday evening, April 23, that one in our midst had been suddenly called from earth. Mildred Cora French was born Jan. 11, 1899, at Ostend, this county, at the time of her death being 13 years, 3 months and 12 days of age. Millie, as she was familiarly called by her friends and playmates, has spent the last ten years of her life in Ridgefield, being a faithful and regular attendant in the public school and Sunday school, and early in life manifested a desire to be a Christian and during the special meetings held in the church in October, 1910, she waB converted and on Nov. 6, 1910, united with the church. Why she should be called thus in her prime of youth we cannot know. Her life, tho comparatively short, was one of patience and peacefulness and dur­ ing her suffering she never complained, not even on her death bed did she mur­ mur a complaint, so willing and ready was she to give up her life here for a better one beyond- On Thursday afternoon (he home was filled with the bereaved kindred and sympathetic friends on the occur­ rence of the funeral, conduoted by Rev. C. H. Giesselbrecht, who spoke cheer­ ing words of comfort to the bereaved ones. Mrs. J. J. Reser and Mrs. F. S. Morse rendered comforting music, while the odor of exquisite flowers blended with the consolations of the word of God. A deep sense of common bereavement pervaded the entire company, tempered by faith's beautiful hope of eternal life. The school, in order to show their respect for the departed one, 11 closed for the afternoon and from her Sunday school class six young ladies, all dressed in white, acted as pall bearei-s. N Interment was beside the remains of a brother and sister who have gone before. Mildred leaves a father and mother, two sisters, Rachel and Alic§; and three brothers, Will, Mark and Claude, to mourn the loss of one who has passed from them to enjoy other and higher service in the land "Where loyal hearts and true Stand ever in the light."

INVITE DISEASE by using material that absorb moisture and keeps the walls forever moist and cold. Use a non-conductor of moisture like wood and be sure of your fam­ ily's health. The construction of a frame house with a liberal air space between siding- and plastering is acknowledged by experienced builders to be the correct principle for a sanitary habitation. Such walls com­ pletely baffle moisture as well as the sudden changes of tempera­ ture. This, however, is only one of the advantages of frame con­ struction--there are many more good reasons why wood is Che accepted material for a home. Before you complete your plans we want to tell you some of the other reasons why you can't af­ ford to overlook the construc­ tion that was good enough for our forefathers and show you the best in present day lumber.
