MRS. H. f. JACKSON.
Death Came TO Her Relief Yesterday
Morning in This City.

The distressing illness of Mrs. H.
F. Jackson of this city, which has
continued with little intermission
for the past five weeks, was brought
to close yesterday morning about
7 o'clock, at the family home in this
city. The cause of death is given
as para ysis of the stomach and or
gans OF digestion The severe ma
ture of her symptoms made death a
welcome visitor to Mrs. jackson and
her bereaved husband and children
are partly consoled by the thought
that there will be no more suffering
for her to endure.
Mrs. jackson was 70 years of age
at the time of her death.
The funeral has been appointed
for tomorrow morning at 1920, at
St. GATHERINGS church, of which the
deceased was a faithful member.
Rose Ella McAweeney was a ma
tive of the north of Ireland, and
came with her parents to this coun-
try at an early age. At Hastings,
Mimi, soon after the civil war, she
was united in marriage with H. F.
jackson, who conducted a shoe store
in that city for a number of years.
Not long after their marriage Mr..
and Mrs. Jackson took up their resi-
dence on a farm near GAINESVILLE,
this state. where they remained I'M
til 1890, when they removed to their
farm southwest of this city, where
they continued to reside until their
removal to this place a few years
ago.
Four daughters and three sons
are left to mourn the loss of a
faithful mother. Mrs. E. F. Cum
Minis, Mrs. Jas. Gallery, Mrs. An
drew Ruder and Mrs. A. Asleson are
the daughters, and James A, John
H, and William F. Jackson are the
sons, all of them residing in this
city and vicinity.
Besides her immediate!family, two
sisters-Mrs. w. P. Bradisch of ST..
Panl and Mrs. Goudy of Cannon
Falls are expected to be in at
tendance at the funeral.

Time for Fair Talk.

The recent meeting of the direct
ors of the Redwood county fair as
ISOLATION elected the very crafty
ing fact that the association will
start out this year without a cent of
Indebtedness and with every thing TO
encourage them in going to work
hopefully for larger success for this
fall. 1t is none to soon to plan for
it the coming month. Last year the
premium lists were put out six weeks
later than those of a number of sur
rounding counties, and with the ex-
perience of last week to guide, it
ought to be simple matter to make
the few changes advisable and get
the list in circulation in June or by
Chautauqua week at least.
The officers have been specializing
as to good place for the stock dis
play at the next fair. The Mill
street corner was too crowded and
this year it will not be available any,
way, as the Japs building is going
up on that site. Perhaps some of
the vacant lots on the north site of
of Bridge street can be secured.
They would be handy to the armory
building, supposing that should be
far enough along to be used for fair
purposes next fall.
The Gazette would be glad to give
it's space to any suggestions that may
be offered that will help to make

Saving The Next Generation.

Defective eyesight, writes Will
liam Allen Johnston in the April
Circle Magazine, calling attention to
the necessity of guarding the health
of the little people, is even more
common than defective hearing and
usually more disastrous in results.
A Chicago physician states that
the number of ''short-sighted"
children in this country today runs
away up into the millions. And
this great army of little weaklings
may be made healthy, robust child
rem by the timely and proper fitting
of glasses
Besides defective eyes and ears
there are many other nervous irri-
tants which either escape the parents
eyes altogether which is almost al
ways the case--or else they are voted
too trivial to need correction. The
skilled physician can find them; he
knows, too, that while there are
quicker ways, deliberately to wreck
a child's health there is no surer
and more deadly course than the
neglect of these trivial abnormalities.
A crooked tooth sounds unimpor-
tant enough, but in young child it
may completely disarrange its bodi-
ly, mental and moral development.
Proper mastication is prevented and
impaired digestion with all it's result
tant ills and its promise of perma-
nent weakness naturally follows.
The case is cited of a little girl
who had grown to be a hopeless
"liar." She was anemic, very deli
cate, and frequently ill. A careful
examination revealed constant fer
mentation in her stomach and this
was caused it was found, by single
crooked tooth which prevented the
grinding motion so necessary to
proper mastication.
The fermentation of the food in
stomach caused unnatural nervous
reheXes which in turn overstimulat-
ed the brain and resulted in a dis
ordered imagination. The child
day dreamed" and exaggerated
The Strengthening of the tooth made
her normal in every way.ss
In the medical inspection of the
New York City schools, it was found
thatsthirty per cent. were backward.
Putting the matter in the light Of
economy, the city was wasting three
million dollars a year in teaching
children who were physically unfit
to receive an education. Examina-
ton revealed the fact that of the
small army of backward children
over 95 per cent were dull because
OF physical defects. And of this con-
siderable. almost total number more
than % per cent were changed from
billiards into normally bright schol-
ars by simple operation or physical
treatment.
