IN MEMORY OF MRS. TODD
A Daughter Pays Tribute to a Good
Woman, Who Died March 80
at ChickasaWhatChee.

On March 80, 1905, the death angel
stole into our midst and took from US
precious jewel-Our mother. All
the night before death claimed her we
sat around her bedside watching that
precious life slowly ebb away, and
Just as the gray dawn was throwing
out it's beauteOus rays her sweet spirit
winged its flight back to its Maker.
The saddest words | ever remember
hearing were those uttered by dear
papa as he looked up from her bed
side, where he had long been sitting,
and in heart-broken tones said, MA
ma is gone. 1t was then we realized
the bitter fact that our mother whom
we had so anXiOusly watched over for
many months was no more. For sew
eral wears she had been in declining
health, and for the past seven months
had been confined almost entirely to
her bed, and at times would suffer in
tense pain. But she was seldom heard
to murmur. and bore her Affections
with as much fortitude as one could.
Like martyrs of old, she patiently
bore her cross. and the crown Is now
hers. We have the blessed assurance
that mama was not afraid to die.
Often after she was taken sick she
would say to me: II feel that | will
never be well again, but / am not
afraid to die. ! only hate to leave my
little family" We tried so hard to
keep her with US. We felt that death
would not rob US of our treasure, but
when death set its icy seal upon our
loved ones brow all our efforts We're
as chaff before the wind. God, who
doeth all things well, saw when to
take our loved one, and we should not
rebel against His will. We will miss
her sweet presence and loving cOun-
sells through life. When sorrows
crossed our pathway we went to moth
er. and she wept with us; and was the
first to rejoice when our hearts were
glad. 1t was her hands that guided
our feet into pleasant paths ana
smOOthed all the rugged ways.
NV mothers dear hands. her beautiful hands
That guided NE safe DER lifes sands
bless God name for the memory
OF mothers own beautiful hands.
She was indeed a true mother, and
a sharer Of all our joys and sorrows.
We feel that one of orr brightest stars
has set on earth forever, but we have
the sweet hope that it is now illumlnat-
ing the courts of heaven, and that us
bright beams will penetrate into our
hearts and lure US on to better land
where, though she cannot come to us
we can. thank God, go to her.
At the time Of her death mama lack
ed a few days of being 81 years Old
For many years she had been men,

he spoke many cheering words to the
bereaved ones, and kindly urged her
friends to prepare while they had an
opportunity to meet her in a better

SHUN SOAP; EAT DIRT!
Startling Theories Advanced by
Chicago Physicians.


Country Vacations Good Because OF
Mud and Sand Taken With Food,
Says Speaker at the Promotion of
Health Club Meeting-Microbes Re-
to Re Healthier.
81 don't believe in soaping. Some
people are better without bathing, and
l am sure too much bathing is not
good"
In these words, says the Chicago
Record-Herald, DR.. Mary A Seymour
recently startled the Promotion OF
Health club of Chicago with her reply
to DR.. CorneIia Clafin's advice to take
two baths day with liberal use Of
soap.
I'VE are not dirty enough" declared
DR.. James c. Price, who Joined in the
discussion. The fact is we are too
clean. Children are not dirty enough.
In my practice l have noticed that the
greatest sickness and the largest mum
Der of fatal cases are among those who
use soap and are overparticular about
bathing. We ought to eat more mud
and clay. The trouble with the present
generation is that 1t doesn't eat it's peck
of dirt year.
what is the use of these vacations
spent in the country? The real benefit
of vacation in the country is that you
eat sand and dirt. You go into the gar
den and eat the strawberry from the
vine without stopping to brush the
sand off it. You eat other fruit and veg
etables in the same way without taking
them into the kitchen and washing and
peeling them down until all of the dirt
and husk is removed.
Eve must have all the hull taken
from the wheat and nothing but the
soft inside left. The fact is our in
testines are becoming nothing but fab
by tubes.
when the cerebro spinal meningitis
or some other disease begins to claim
victims, what do the doctors do? Why,
blame 1t to the microbes. The mi.
crobes are getting abused. The doc
tors must have some scapegoat, They
used to have the devil. But now when
they run up against something they
don't understand they yell microbes
In truth the little microbes are the
best friends we have"
Soap found valiant champion, how
ever. in DR.. Mary Donohue. She said:
I'm the tenements l have found chill
dren who had not been thoroughly
washed with soap for two or three
years. With much labor and liberal
use Of soap l was able to get the soil
off in spots.
81 believe that such conditions will
certainly give rise to epidemics. An
epidemic might start any time in the
tenements of the west or north side.
We have had municipal ownership of
streets and alleys for long time, but
what is the result? Our streets and
alleys are so filthy that they would
act as channels to convey disease all
over the city if an epidemic were start
ed
II believe we ought to descend on
the city council in body and force it
to improve conditions. l believe that
cleaner streets, cleaner houses and
cleaner people is the only safeguard"
81 know that there may be individual
cases where people do not need more
dirt on the outside" admitted Dr.
James C. Price. But in the great ma
jority of cases people do not have
enough dirt on the inside. People must
get closer to the dirt-eat more of it,
and they will be healthier"

A snroutinc WILLOW Table.

At the home of L. H. Dudley, two
miles east of Ventura, Cal, what was
a short time ago simple looking table
has become a freak and is attracting
much attention, says the Los Angeles
Herald. The small center tablets made
of willow, finely oiled and vanished,
and was purchased of a tramp over
two months ago The design and gen
eral appearance of the table attracted
Mr.. Du4ey's fancy, and he bought it,
placing 4 in the parlor as an ornament
A few days ago it was noticed that lit
tie buds or sprouts were starting from
the wood in several places. The sprouts
were allowed to grow, and now some
of them have become two inches long
and leaves are beginning to open out.

RICH INDIANS IN NEED.
The white Plague" Threatens the
Whole Tribe With determination.

A Black River Falls, Wis, dispatch
says: Though the government owes
the Winnebago tribe of Indians $685.,
900, they are dying of consumption by
scores and are badly in need of medi-
cal attention. A. P. Jones, resident
Indian farmer, says that unless the
scourge can soon be checked the whole
tribe will be exterminated. The preva
lent loOseness of the marriage laws
adds to the danger. The i'll and in
digent Indians are heavy expense to
the town in which they reside,

End In Millinery.

A fad in millinery is the Introduction
of very long stalked flowers, a welcome
relief from the rosette-like button roses
and other close set flowers, like camel
