Mrs.

Eliza Ann Ilendrick, widow of Wil lfam Eldredge and mother of George Eldredge of this place, died on May 26, aged 81 years, A life full of years spent in faithful labor for those with whom she lived. Possessed of pleasant and generous nature, the beauty of her life was best exemplified in the home circle of which she has ever been the center and most efficient help. Her's has been an eventful life, in which sorrow and bereave. ment had been so often for her to bear. She lived to see all of her dear ones, one by one, called by the silent messenger Death, until an only son and a grandson remained of her immediate family.

At the death of her husband in 1 87 1 she took up the double respon sibility of filling as far as possible his place in the home, tenderly caring for the children and later the grandchildren. Death claimed the only daughter in early life, and later a beauti ful and promising granddaughter, little Mabel; then the mother of Mabel, the wife of her son George, passed over and away from earthly scenes. Through all her's has been the given duty to comfort and assist the son and grand son, and keep pleasant and cheerful the home for them. And He who has us all in His lov ing care knows now well ana iaiiniuny tne task has been done. Yet not alone in her home has her influence been felt.

Friends and neighbors found in her a blessing fraught with tender interest ever. And also in the lodge of Good Templars, of which she was a faithful attendant up to a year before her death. Time alone can reveal the good of the work and earnest endeavor of all those years there. Mrs. Eldredge was born in Wey-bridge, but when young removed with her par- nts to this town, which has since been her hbme a period of more than sixty-five years.

Commit Does Baby Thrive? If your baby is delicate and sickly and its food does not nourish it, put fifteen or twenty drops of Scott's Emulsion in its bottle three or four times a day and you will see a marked change.

We have had abundant proof that they will thrive on this emulsion when other food fails to nourish them. It is the same with larger children that are delicate. Scott's Emulsion seems to be the element lacking in their food. Do not fail to try it if your children do not thrive. It is as useful for them in summer as in winter.

2. Because it cannot rot. Because it is proof against fire from cinders and sparks. Because it can be used on a 3. flat roof.

4. Because it is easier and quicker applied. 5. Because it requires less ex pense to keep it in repair, for the reason that it Is not so susceptible to leaking as Is the case with shingles which warp and become loose. Good shingle are a thins of the oast.

The machine made shingle of today last only about six years, as they are made from the inferior timber and the wood fibre is so burred or thrown up in tne sawing mat it aosorns moisture readily and retains it tenaciously, and the shingles soon rot. The original cost of old-fashioned shingles made from good timber without taking into account the cost of nails and expense of laying is greater than that of our rooting. The best of shingle will shrink, leaving crevices and increasing a hundred fold the chances for leaks. Again no shingle roof is fireproof. Any ordinary carpenter or roofer Bnoma De aoie to apply on an ordinary roof surface from 4 to 5 squares per day, whereas IV to squares of shingles is about as much as any practical man can apply in the same time.
