Woman and Baby Perish in Storm IlunUville, Ala., -Dec. 27.?The Htory of the death on n snow iwept mountain hide of a mother and her infant nun, wan told in Huntaville to((Uy by the first man to make his way through the heavy snow which cut off communications with the region. The mountaineer had heard Minnie Mar cum relate her wanderings with her mother, Mrs. Frank Marcum, the infant and a younger sister. She described the death of her mother and the small brother from exposure after tour days in the woods and later the removal of clothing from the mother's body to protect the younger girl. The" bodies of Mrs. Marcum and the infant were placed in a hollow log before the two girls continued search for food and shelter. The bodies were found Christina* day and buried yesterday. Mrs. Marcum and the three children left Huntsvillc for their -mountain home December 17 to spend Gnristn'ias. 'Hicy left their automobile at the base of the slope and started up tin- mountain try.il, a distance of three n?1 It-.-*. The trail soon was obliterated by ;i snowy flurry. They had started Thursday, and they kept wandering Friday and Saturday. Gn Sunday the mot/her became exhausted, collapsed and died within a few minutes. The infant died shortly afterward. With the bodies secured in u log, the mother's clothing protecting the young sister, the two girls roamed the mountainside two more days before they reached home. The father retraced his daughters' footprints through the snow to the hollow log, only three quarters of a mile from the Murcum homePhysicians said the girls were suffering from exposure, but would recover. Health and Beauty (Questions about health, beauty and the prevention of disease will be answered m this column. When a j>ersonal answer is desired, ,send your questions, with u stamped self-addressed envelope to Dr. Sophia Brunson. Sumter, South Carolina. Dr. Urunson will not diagnose or prescribe for patients in this way. For tha? you must consult your physician. There has never been a time since the world began when people wc-ife so interested in the subject of health as they are today. In the early hist? ry of this country the average life was very short. Go into old graveyards and you will find long lows of children's graves. If you read the inscriptions on the tombstones of the adults you will perceive that the majority of them died young. This was largely due to poor sanitation, want of hygiene, and wrong habits of living. Many of these people died from preventable and contagious diseases. The children were sacrificed on the altar of ignorance, as ruthlessjy as the heathen of the ancient world offered their little ones to the great god Moloch by throwing them into the roaring furnace that burned in his huge image, in order to propitiate him and induce him to drive awav plagues and invading armies. The average length of life has greatly increased in the last twentvfive or thirty years. This is due to the fact that infant mortality has been reduced and also prevontible and infectious diseases are being conquered. Thanks to the progress of medical << ienco the mortality from tuU-rculosts. typhind fever, diphtheria. scarlet fever, etcetera, has grown less. Vaccination has almost conquered smallpox, once the scourge of mankind. On the other hand we fin 1 that pellagra is increasing in South i Carolina. M>?re }*t-opir -ire dying o"f ; ae or than ever.

The Colored People Remembered We feel it our unqualified duty to express in no uncertain terms our sincere appreciation of the generous contributions given u.i by Mrs. W. J.

They made it possible for us to give out on that day somewhere between forty-five and fifty baskets or boxes with several bundles of things good to eat.
