looked him forward with a reckoning fin

The Silent Reaper.

After an illness of many weeks,
Caroline M. Lincoln passed away at
5 o'clock Saturday afternoon at the
home of her son, Albert Lincoln, on
River st.
The deceased was an old resident
of Winneshiek county, having lived
here since 1859. She was born in
st. Clair Co., ILL.,, Sept. 4, 1928 and
had recently celebrated her eightieth
birthday.
For many years Mrs. Lincoln re-
sided in or near Burr Oak and will
always be remembered by the older
inhabitants of that vicinity because
of her thoughtfulness for others and
her ever help in time of sickness or
distress.
She leaves to mourn her loss four
children and three grand children,
besides twa great grand children little
daughters of her beloved grand
daughter, Alberta Lincoln Apply,
whose recent sudden death was a
shock from which she was unable to
rally.
The funeral services were held yes
terday morning at the home on Riv-
er St., Rev. M. Willett officiating. The
remaines were inferred in the Burr
Oak cemetery.

Shake the ingredients Well in the
Bottle and Take TeaspOonful
Dose After Meals. Tells How
To Mix This.
Few people here know that you
cure that dread American disease,
Rheumatism, with just common,
everyday drugs found in any drug
store. The prescription is so simple
that any one can prepare it at home
at small cost. 1t is made up as fol-
lows: Get from any good perscrip-
ton pharmacy Fluid Extract Dande-
lion, one-half ounce; Compound Kar-
gon, one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by
shaking bottle and take in tea
spoonful doses after each meal and
at bedtime. There are all simple
ingredients, making an absolutely
harmless home remedy at little COST
Rheumatism, as every one knows,
is symptom of deranged kidneys.
1t is condition produced by the fail
ure of the kidneys to properly filter
or strain from the blood the uric acid
and other matter. which, if not Grad
icated, either in the urine or through
the skin pores, remains in the blood
joints and muscles, causing the un-
told suffering and deformity of rheu-
matism.
This prescription is said to be a
splendid healing, cleansing and invig-
Grating tonic to the kidneys, and
gives almost immediate relief in all
forms of bladder and urinary trou-
bles and backache.

PURE MILK AND BUTTER.
Letter From DIR. SweZey, City Health
Officer, Explaining New City
Ordinance.
Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
There seems to be some furry re-
garding certain resolutions adopted
by the City Board of Health last
month. These resolutions are aimed
at, and intended to establish a pure
milk and butter supply for our citiz-
ems, also for our babies and child
rem; the latter being very susceptible
to any disease carrying media.
1t has been shown that pasteuriz-
ing Cor heating) milk to certain
temperature kills all germs. Three
different temperatures are given here
as safe variations: 140 F. degrees,
Z 20 min, $50 F. degrees, min, $50
f. degrees, momentary.
Men who expect to supply milk to
DEBORAH, on the wholesale basis, and
have not their herds tested, must
follow these rulings very closely
Their milk plants, barns, and COWS
must be in a clean sanitary condition,
subject to inspection by the Board of
Health at any time.
The privilege of pasteurization will
not be extended to persons owning
one or two COWS; however such per-
sons may sell milk to their neighbors
and friends, providing they supply a
certificate to the Local Board, show
ing such COW or COWS have been
tested by reputable Veterinarian,
and found free from disease.
We desire to give everybody a
square deal. The creamery-man and
the farmer alike; therefore nothing
will be done with the cream and but
ter supply at present. We will await
the action of the Legislature this
winter, and only ask the Creamery to
make as healthy and good butter as
they can, the farm-wife to do the
best she can. Bring it to town, and
our grocer will pay you all he can
and sell it to us as cheap as he can
and nobody will ever be sick, and
everybody will always be happy.
A. j. Swezey, M. D.,
Health officer
