known and most highly esteemed old
citizens of Morgan township, Decatur
county, died on Monday morning of last
week at his home 81 miles northeast of
Lineville. He had been i'll for several
weeks from kidney and bladder afflic-
ton, but the Immediate cause of his
death was apopleXy. The funeral was
held on Tuesday forenoon at Elm Chapel
in the neighborhood. Services being
conducted by Rev. Kobb Of Garden
Grove, minister of the Dunkard chuch,
and the interment was in the Elm Chapel
cemetery adjoining the church. A very
large congregation attended to pay
their last tribute of respect to the men,
DRY of good man and a good citizen
who had passed away. He was born in
Missouri in 1882, but had been a resi-
dent of Decatur county for many years.
He leaves widow and several grown
sons and daughters all Of whom we're
present at the funeral with the excep-
tion of one daughter. Uncle Davy" as
he was familarly known, was kind and

is the chap with the sick stomach
always sometimes it's woman. But
the stomach crouch can be transformed
into desirable citizen, and, in fact,
stomachs are being made over now by
that extraordinary formula which the
Cooper Pharmacal Company of Chicago
is putting out, and which is known to
druggists everywhere as the Prosene
Prescription. This is said to be as
near perfect a stomach remedy as is
possible for doctors and druggists to
compound. 1t does what has been
discussed in this article, viz: Improve
the stomach's health and do away with
stomach evil and stomach suffering
that turn cheerful souls into mean,
small, pessimistic creatures. This
Prosene proposition has a great repu-
tation, and on what it is actually doing,
is certainly worth trying. Get from
Bell q Robinson one ounce of Prosene:
have that mixed with Compound Tine
ture OF Cinchona. one ounce, and Sherry
Wine, half pint. 1t is real important
that all the ingredients be put in the
right proportions, but the main thing
is the Prosene; see that YOU get it
right. Then take teaspoon dose of
this preparation before meals and at
bedtime. Il You'll be a changed person.

THE VALUE OF A
HEALTHY STOMACH
Even Slight Stomach Disorder May Make
Chronic Crouch of You.

There are lot of people, good people
at that, who are criminally careless
when it comes to maturing their food.
They simply don't think that belching
and sour stomach and gas are serious
enough to warrant doctoring, while as
a matter of fact these are the advance
agents of the worst forms of stomach
disease. You need not take the word of
this writer for it. Read any medical
authority or ask any doctor. And
what is more, there's no man or woman
living, suffering with these so-called
common, everyday stomach disturb
ances who knows just when they will
prove themselves painful, agonizing
scourges Of health, and completely
wreck ones JOY of living. The stomach
is most valuable to the vital organs.
They all depend on the stomach for
their directions, and if the stomach
fails there's general disorder. Further
more, the person who will keep his
stomach in good shape will find that
the stomach will bring to them in turn
cheer, happiness and success.
The big round world has no use for a
crouch, no more than we have for fell
low that's always belching in our face,
or chewing his cud like an old COW.
