WAS PATIENT SUFFERER

Surviving her husband by not quite
month, today the community Is
shocked, on learning of the death Of
Mrs. John Frederick Hubinger, wife
of the late j. F. Hubinger, who died
at his residence, No. 1922 Blondeau
street. the twelfth of September.
Death came after an illness of over
a year, during which time she had
been ailing, dropsy being the immed-
late cause of her death and compli-
cation of other ailments being detri'
mental to her health. She passed
away at 1920 last evening after having
been under the care of a trained
nurse for months. during which time
the best of care and attention were
given her that loving family can
do for a mother but the end finally
came last evening after brave strug-
gle for life.
Mrs. Hubinger was we'll known in
Keokuk, having lived here for many
years and like her late husband, had
won hundreds of friends for herself
through her sweet, kind, unassuming
disposition, being loving mother and
a true friend and her death has
caused a wave of sorrow to be cast
over the community in which she had
many friends
Catherine Gerard was born in
Lorraine, France, August 10, 1927, and
when a young lady of nineteen years
came to this country and lived for a
number of years at New Orleons, La.
1t was there that she was married
to John F. Hubinger and later they
removed from that city to the north.
The golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs.
Hubinger on December IL. 1900, will
be remembered by many Keokuk
| people.
| She was a member of st. Mary
Catholic church of Keokuk and when
her health would permit was reg.
ular attendant at that house Of wor
ship. During the past year or more
however, she has been closely con
fined and the shock of her husband
death last month was too great for
her and coupled with her serious i'll
ness. relatives of the deceased knew
that the end could not be far away on
account of her advanced age.
/ Hers was good christian life and
she will be we'll remembered by many
friends here.

SOAP . BACK Number

This remark certainly sounds startling
In these days Of cleanliness and hygiene;
but the introduction of such a soap pow
der as Gold Dust has made the slow
disso,ving cake Of soap back number.
The reason Is simple. Soap must dis
solve before it can soften water or re-
move dirt. The cake must be cut up and
dissolved to make a soft soap before 1t
is really effective for washing clothes.
The fine grains of Gold Dust, however,
dissolve at once and in dissolving there
is double reaction in the water; the
Gold Dust dissolves the hard lime, etc.
making the water soft, and in so doing
Is instantly dissolved itself Gold Dust
rs, therefore, not only the most conven-
lent, but also the quickest and easiest
cleanser for clothes and everything

Holy Days.

DR.. Hale and the late Bishop Hun
tington Of New York were fast friends
The latter had been a Unitarian and
his shift caused sensation. The
Episcopalians have saints assigned to
the various days in the year. When
an Episcopalian minister writes a let
ter on any day for which there is a
saint, he always writes the name OF
the saint at the close of the letter in
stead of the date. Bishop Huntington
learned all these things quickly, and
began to practise them at once. The
first time he had occasion to write to
his old friend, DR.. Hale, after joining
the church, he placed st Michael's
Day" after his signature. A reply
from the doctor came, and after his
name he had written in full, round
hand, Wash day" christian Regis
