FUNERAL OF DROWNED
GIRLS Oil THURSDAY
Will Occupy One Grave While
Four Hearses Will be Used.
Friends Start Campaign to
Aid the Family.
ELKHART, Ind.. July 1. That the
four daughters of John Schwin, who
were drowned in tho St. Joseph river
three miles above the city Monday aft
ernoon, lost their lives because of ig
norance of land erosions caused by
the backwater from the new dam is
tho belief of Nell Fisher, a young man
who lives near the scene of the acci
dent and assisted in the work of tak
ing the bodies from the water.
Mr. Fisher declares that the girls
were in the habit of wading and bath
ing near the place where they were
drowned, and undoubtedly thought
the water was shallow for some dis
tance from the shore. However there
is a sharp Mtepoff about six feet from
the shore at this place, of which Mr.
Fisher states he had no previous
knowledge, though familiar with, this
part of the river. The water is more
than six feet deep at this point, which
is Just below the outlet of a smaH
creek, and may have been caused by
an eddy formed by the confluence of
the smaller stream with the larger.
The four sisters. Alice, Clara, .Ida
and Grace will be buried In one grave
at the Zion cemetery in Washington
church Thursday afternoon, following
brief services at the residence at 1
o'clock and at Zion church at 2 o'clock.
Rev. A. Dressel of the First Lutheran
church will officiate. The children
will lie in four white plush caskets,
each of the same design, and will lie
bourne to the cemetery in four
hearses. Former playmates, boj-s of
the neighborhood, will act as pall
bearers. Quick to realize that this sudden
blow to the Schwin family, coming as
it does as the last of a long chain of
misfortunes, would also prove a gf eat
financial burden, friends at once began
to provide for their relief. A subscrip
tion paper circulated at the plant f
the Foster Machine company where
Mr. Schwin is employe I as a machin
ist, brought donations to the amount
of $135. City Controller E. L. Burns
also became interested in tho case and
prepared subscription blanks to be
circulated in other factories and in
the business district.
Coming here from Chicago with the
Foster-Kimball company in 190 4, Mr.
Schwin has been burned out once, was
sick and unable to work for three
months, and had many other financial
reverses of a similar nature. He but
recently settled a costly litigation over
a worthless gasoline engine which an
alleged shyster tricked him into buy
ing. For three years he has been en
deavoring to buy the little farm where
he lives on the monthly payment plan.
ARRIVES IN VIENNA.
According to word received by

Food Needs
For
Call for easily digested cereals, fruits, etc., and less
of the heavy, hard-to-digest kind.
But the nourishment must be there!
Probably the most nourishing, most easily digested
cereal food known is
Made from prime wheat and malted barley, it is ready
to eat direct from the package; digests generally in about
one hour; and contains the true brain and muscle build
ing materials placed in the field grains by Nature for
man use.
Grape-Nuts food has delicious taste; and is pure,
wholesome and a "builder" in the truest sense of the
word an ideal summer dish that does not overheat
the body.
