An Honored Citizen Called.

VIM. ii. Ehler was born in Della
ware county, Iowa, April 9th 1868,
and departed from this life at the
old homestead May Both, 1907, aged
A years. He was the eldest son of
Henry and Anna B. Ehler who were
early settlers in this part of the
state and both of whom have passed
on to the other life. One brother,
John H. Ehler, and one sister, Mrs.
Lena Haeussler, besides other more
distant relatives survive and have
the sympathy of a large circle of
friends and neighbors in this, their
hour Of sad aflliction.
The deceased was an honorable
and upright man, in the very prime
of life with seemingly bright
future before him, but so quickly
taken from among us that we are
reminded again that IMAM is as
grass which groweth up; in the
morning it aourisheth and groweth
up; in the evening it is cut down
and wlGhereth."
The funeral was held Saturday at
the Ehler NJ e. church and was at.
tended by an immense concourse Of

The services were conducted by Rev
Henry Allshouse of Coggon, assisted
by Rev. Edward Lee of, Ryan, the
former delivering an interesting
and touching sermon. A Coggor
choir rendered several pleasing
selections, and the many beautiful
floral tributes showed the esteem il
which he was held. The remain.

Cement Fence Posts.

Cement Fence Posts are gradual
ly coming into use. If properly
made they ought to last forever. w.
T. Adams of Odebolt, expects to
build about seven miles of fence on
his big farm this year, and will use
concrete posts only. BY using sub
stltutes for wood and by going in
with vigor for forest culture, il may
be possible in time to restore some
of the losses that have been worked
by the reckless and prohigate waste

Reducing the Waist
Line in Both Sexes

Men and women with heavy, pendul-
Gus abdomens who wish to reduce them
quickly and safely, are usually ADVISED
to 60 in for certain tiresome twisting
and bending exercises that, as mat
fer of fact, they should carefully avoid
as being dangerous rather than bene-
fetal.
A far better plan is to use the fol-
lowing three simple household reme-
dies which can be obtained OF any
druggist at small cost viz: Y OF. Mar
mola, y o. Fluid Extract Cascara
Aromatic, and 31a ozs. Syrup Simplex
These are mixed together at home and
taken a teaspoonful after meals and at
bedtime.
These three make mixture that is
not only perfectly harmless but act
ually quite beneficial to the system,
regulating the digestion, purifying the
blood, and clearing the complexion OF
pimples and blotches Its chief and
surprising benefit is in the rapid, nat
ural manner in which it reduces the
fat person to the normal, beautiful
lines of fine physique, it having been
known to cause the transcription of as
much as pound Of fat a day. More
over. it does it symmetrically, so that
no wrinkles or flabby skin are left be-
hind. Strange to say neither dieting
nor exercise are advised when this sim
pie home recipe is being used, for it
will produce results independently OF
either and so the patient Is instructed
to eat whatever he or she fancies and
is also permitted to take things easy.

when she will be among the most

for argument when prediction is made
that she will even be an agricultural

CAN A GOOD CATHOLIC Be A GRAFTeR7

Rev. William Hughes, a Catholic
priest at Pasadena, asks and answers
the question. No man can be a graft
er and a good Catholic. The Catholic
religion says Father Hughes:
Declares that the man who poses
as Catholic but is. bent on getting
rich quick and at any cost is twice
over a worse traitor than Benedict Ar
mold parading as an American patriot
and trying to sell his country for
price, because this field of high fin
ance betrays both his country and his
God. So, too, the dishonest office
holder is foe alike to the constitution
and the faith. Because upon the NOR
atty Of its individual citizens depends
the security of the state. And NOR
atty without religion there is none.
Above all, true liberty is impossible
where men are not honest and women
are not pure"
What Father Hughes said of the
Catholic religion is to be said of all
sects that belong to the Christian
faith and are founded on Christ and
his teachings. No truly religious man
can graft for the CRATER is a criminal
in act and In instinct.
member, Catholic or Protestant. He
usually is. The banker who wrecks,
the cashier who steals and fees
abroad, the school treasurer whose de-
falcation shocks a state and a section,
is generally church member and at
the head of church affairs. 1t is not
to the discredit Of religion that this Is
so, on the contrary and these particular
classes Of thieves and grafters should
be no discredit to the church, for theirs
is a secret crime. The church Is de-
ceived as the public is deceived.
However, the greatest discredit that
attaches to the churches is earned by
their membership. The saloonist is
how many drug store whisky deacons
abound in Iowa churches? How many
men whose petty graft is commonly
known along the street retain mem
bership in all churches. 1t pays the
CRATER to belong to the church, if he
can. It is a personal Endorsement.
Nor is this state of affairs to be held
against the uses, purposes and intent
Of the churches as organizations. The
church is great force for good, and
the lapses Of individual members are
not chargeable against it. But to say
that a CRATER can not be a good man
and true religionist and accept or re-
tain him as churchman is inconsist-
ent and an evidence of carelessness.
If the churches were to ask the
question propounded by the Pasadena
priest and answer it els unfiinchingly,
