statement Of scripture. But it has

increasing breadth of knowledge.
When the blood is ''bad" or impure it
is not alone the body which suffers
through disease. The brain is also
clouded, the mind and judgment are
affected, and many an evil deed or
impure thought may be directly traced
to the impurity Of the blood. No one
can be well balanced in mind and
body whose blood is impure. No one
can have wholesome and pure life
unless the blood is pure. Foul blood
can be made pure by the use of DR..

for failure i'll the indication that it
furnishes. You can go along the

voice of some females, probably
yelling at their children, and you
can easily form an opinion of the
kind of persons they must be.
Then again you will hear mild,
gentle voice that tells of refine

COAL TO BURN.

A coal shed belonging to the Elec-
trio Light Company caught fire on
Sunday afternoon and created more
excitement than damage. Smoke was
seen issuing from the shed and it was
thought that the fire could be extin-
guished without sending in an alarm.
A number of men went for the depot
hose cart. but before they arrived on
scene the fire had blazed out and there
was some fearthat it would spread TO
the neighboring lumber yard and to
the tanks of the Standard Oil Com
pany. The alarm was sounded and
hundreds of people hurried from their
supper only to find that the hose had
made short work of it and the fire was
extinguished. The damage was very
slight. We believe Denison is nearly
fire proof-at any rate we hope it is.

news of the sudden death OF his mother
Mrs. Z. A. Caswell. Mrs. Caswell had
been sick for some time and death

eighteen years they made their home
in Boone county and since 1882 have
resided in Coon Rapids. Five sons
and two daughters were the result of
their union. and their family has al
ways been a happy aud united one.
Nothing speaks more highly of a
woman's character than that she re
tains to the end the undivided affection
of her children, and that they be men
and women who fill well their places
in life. Judged by this standard Mrs.
Caswell leaves nothing to regret, and
well done, thou good and faithful
servant" can be truthfully said of her.
To Mr.. Caswell in his hour of grief we
offer our deepest and most sincere SYM
pathy. His loss is great indeed, for
nowhere else in life can one find the
love that equals the love of a mother.
The funeral services took place on
Monday, Rev. Hepburn of the Presby-
terrain church of Coon Rapids, otficiat-
