IN MEMORIUM
(By J. K. Doughertyo

Death, the mystery that man
cannot fathom, has left its i'm
press upon the Courier. The
/ kindly man that was always more
the associate than the employer;
the true and steadfast friend
whose CHEEKY greeting and win
ming smile frightened the daily
tasks. is gone.
A. w. Lee was a friend OF the
young man. It was always
source of the keenest pleasure to
him after he had placed big re-
sponsibilities on the shoulders OF
q young man to see those should
ers broaden under the responsible
tiles assumed until they were
strong enough to support greater
responsibilities. And in the ear
lier days before the other papers
in the syndicate were secured and
there were not the openings for
his young men, he cheerfully re-
leased them when they felt they
had outgrown their tasks and
aided them in entering into wider
fields. He sought to bring out
the individuality in the members
Of his papers staff. If any ques-
ton came up and his advice was
asked he would inquire:
well, what do you think about
it?" and when answered would in
variably reply:
"Just use your own judgment in
the matter"
He strove always to strengthen;
to bring out the best there was in
his employees; to make them feel
/ that they were his associates and
that their work meant as much to
the paper as his work; and from
the depths of his kindly heart he
planned increasingly to make the
burdens easier for all to bear.
1t was cruel blow Of fate when
A. w. Lee was called in the very
prime of life. The world needed
his brain, his untiring energy, his
optimism. Ottumwa. his home,
the scene Of his first successes
and the sharer in his success,
needed him.
Davenport. Muscatine, Hannibal
and Lacrosse needed him as the
guiding spirit Of the publications
he developed and fostered.
And the young men of the fu-
ture days will need him to help
them over the thorny paths with
his encouragement; to aid them,
broaden them and fit them to bet
ter cope with the responsibilities
of life.
But death. the leveler, has pre-
maturely shortened his days and
we can but. acquiesce, having con-
ISOLATION for the grief and pain we
have at parting with friend so
beneficent in the knowledge that
death. though it stills the hand
that wrought such good works, can
do naught to undue the good that
has been done.

Used Him as Eraser.

The late DR.. Henry Martyr Field
some years ago related at Williams
alumni dinner a rather amusing Incl
dent Of his freshman days at college,
Being only II years old when he
entered he had not reached the point
where the natural friction between the
big boy and the small boy ceases and
he was at particular feud with one Of
his fellows, q stalwart country youth
fresh from the farm. One day young
Field went early to the classroom and
put upon the big blackboard a very
exasperating caricature of his en-
envy, with his name beneath. When
the aggrieved party saw what had
been done he said not a word, but
catching up his youthful tormentor, he
used him as an eraser and after rub
bing out the offensive picture quietly
took his seat.

Of Interest to Women.

Every woman naturally should be
healthy and strong, but great many
women, unfortunately, are not, owing
to the unnatural condition of the lives
we lead. Headache, backache and a
general tired condition are prevalent
amongst the women Of to-day, and TO
relieve these conditions women rush
to the druggists for bottle of some
preparation supposed to be particular
ly for them, and 0ntaining-nobody
knows what. If they would just get
box of Brandreths Pills, and take
them regularly every night for time,
all their trouble would disappear, as
these pills regulate the organs OF the
feminine system. The same dose al
ways has the same effect, no matter
how long they are used.
Brandreth's pills have been in use
for over a century, and are for sale
everywhere, plain or sugar-coated.

MIX THIS AT HOME.
Valuable Prescription Which Anyone
Can Easily Prepare.

The following simple homemade
mixture is said to readily relieve and
overcome any form of Rheumatism by
forcing the Kidneys to filter from the
blood and system all the uric acid and
poisonous waste matter, relieving at
once such symptoms as backache,
weak kidneys and bladder and blood
diseases.
Try it, as it doesn't cost much to
make, and is said to be absolutely
harmless to the stomach.
Get the following harmless ingredi-
ents from any good pharmacy: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup Of Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bot
tie, and take teaspoonful after each
meal and again at bedtime.
This simple mixture is said to give
prompt relief, and there are very few
cases Of Rheumatism and Kidney
troubles 1t will fail to cure perma-
nently.
These are all harmless, everyday
drugs, and your druggist should keep
them in the prescription department;
# not, have him order them from the
wholesale drug houses for you, rather
than fail to use this, if you are af-
ficted.

MRS. ELvA BARBER EDWARDS

There are three critical stages in a
woman's life which leave their mark
in her career. The first Of these stages
is womanhood, or the change from a
care free girl to budding womanhood,
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life.
Perils surround each of these stages,
and most of the misery that comes
to women through i'll health dates
from one or another of these i'm
portant crises.
Women should remember that Lydia
e. PiEkham's Vegetable Compound
made from native roots and herbs has
carried thousands of young girls over
the critical period of puberty, has
prepared mothers for childbirth, and
in later years carried them safely
through the change of life more sue
cessfully than any other remedy in
the world. Thousands of testimonials
from grateful persons, two of which
are here published, substantiate this
fact beyond contradiction.
