PASSED FROM THIS LIFE
John James Foster

was born in the town of Linden on the
23rd of May, 1914, and died in this city
March 2, 1910, being therefore 65 years,
9 months and days of age.
On Sept. 26, 1867, he was united in
marriage to Miss Catherine Jackson, of
the town of Mineral Point, and since
that time the family has resided in
this city and vicinity continuously.
Of the eight children born of this
union six survive, all of whom were
present at the funeral In addition to
his wife and children, an aged mother,
one sister, and a brother remain to
mourn their loss:
Mr.. Foster has for many years been
a faithful member of the Primitive
Methodist church and was highly es-
teemed for the deep interest he mani
tested in the activities of the cause of
Christ.
He was also affiliated with the Odd
Fellow and Modern Woodman orders of
this city.
The funeral was held on Friday after
noon. Rev. w. j. G. Bond, his pastor,
delivered sermon on the text, Help
Lord, for the godly man ceaseth, for
the faithful fail from among the child
rem of men,"
Before leaving the church the Odd
Fellows rendered their ritualistic SER
vice, and at the interment in Graceland
cemetery the Woodman camp had
charge of the exercises.
In the passing of John Foster our
city has suffered the loss Of good man,
and his family true and affectionate
husband, father, son and brother.
Among those from out of town who
were present at the funeral were,
George Foster Of Phillips; Mr.. and Mrs.
B. Collins, Chicago; Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
Link, Madison; Henry Holmes, S. Oak.

Eliminates Delinquents.

HARDWOOD NJ Bacon, superintendent
of division of classification of the post
office department, gives out the following
information on the postal ruling with
reference to expired subscriptions to
newspapers:
There seems to be lingering doubt
in the minds of some publishers that
the rules promulgated by the depart
ment will not be enforced, but Mr..
Bacons talk was to the effect that while
the department did not desire to infict
any undue hardship on newspapers. at
the same time publishers must comply
with the departments regulation.
Seventeen publishers have been served
with citations to appear in Washington,
and the privilege of second class pound
rates has been withdrawn so far from
two papers. The ruling provides that
subscription to weekly papers, IL
months in arrears, will be denied the
pound rates, and is for the purpose of
cutting off those publishers who pad
their subscription lists for the sake of
obtaining called subscribers at either
a nominal rate, or no price at all.
In plain words, the ruling means that
subscribers to weekly papers must pay
the subscription price before or at the
end of the year covering the subscrip-
ton period.
A special agent has been investigating
in Iowa, and in all probability papers
in Wisconsin will be next investigated
For year or more the publishers of
The Democrat have been preparing to
meet requirements of the postal depart
ment To this end, and for the collec-
ton of accounts, we recently sent out
statements. All who have not already
responded are requested to do so at
their very earliest convenience. We
must put our subscription list in order
for inspection by a representative of
the postal department

Sanitary Drinking.

The efforts of the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis association to remove one
of the most potent communications of
communicable common drinking cup,
is bearing fruit in a most gratifying
way. A tremendous amount of interest
is being shown in this direction, and it
is predicted that within o few years
every old fashioned drinking cup and
fount viii be supplanted by sanitary
drinking fountain.
The ultimation of the state board Of
health that the drinking cup on rail-
ways must go also has stimulated in
terest. DR.. G. A. Harper secretary of
the board, is one of the active members
of the anti tuberculosis society and is
giving his utmost assistance.

THE YEAR 1910

promises to be very interesting year
politically, and there are strong grounds
for hope that it will be fruitful of good
results. 1t is good many years since
the country has experienced really
exciting political campaign. The
thought that our great representative
system had simply become govern
ment by parties, and that the parties
were governed by few selfish bosses
for special interests, had taken firm hold
Of the people, -partisians and independ-
ents alike, they were settling down
into quiet and helpless acquiescence.
But the political waters have been
troubled: and the thought obtains that
the old order changeth. There is
promise of return to government by the
people. The policy of absolute boss
rule,-notably by a union of Republican
and Democratic bosses to support
Speaker Cannons dictatorship, - has
stirred the manly, patriotic spirit of the
country; and the signs of the times
plainly tell that the people are deter
mined to be, for time at least, their
own rulers. What started as an insur-
rection is fast becoming revolution.
A new and great MISREPRESENTATION
of national resourses,-ha come to the
front. And around this question state
and local issues largely center; because
it divides to a large extent those who
stand for the public welfare from those
who stand for selfish interests.
In the coming congressional campaign
there is hope for the man of independ-
ent thought and action; and he ought
to do his duty. By all fair means do
your full part in the work of self
government Make the peaceful revo-
linton of 1910 as spontaneous as pos
ible

DON'T BE BALD
Almost Amy One May Secure a
Splendid Growth of Hair.

Almost Any One May Secure a
Splendid Growth of Hair.
You can easily find out you yourself
if your hair needs nourishment, if it is
thinning, getting dry. harsh and brittle,
or splitting at the ends. You simply
have to pull hair from the top of your
head and closely examine its root. If
the bulb is plump and rosy it is all
right; if it is white and shrunken your
hair is diseased and needs nourishment.
We have remedy for hair troubles
that cannot be surpassed. 1t has a
record of growing hair and curing bald
ness in SO out of 100 cases where used
according to directions for a reasonable
length. 1t will even grow hair on bald
heads if the scalp is not glazed and
shiny. That may seem like a strong
statement-it is, and we mean it to be,
and no one should doubt it until they
have put our claims to an actual test.
We are so sure that Rexall "93" Hair
Tonic will completely eradicate dan
druff, prevent badness, stimulate the
scalp and hair roots, stop falling hair
and grow new hair, that we personally

to use as clear spring water. 1t is per-
fumed with a pleasant odor, and does

The Truth About Fruit Growing
in WISCONSIN,


is the title of "a page pamphlet just
issued by the State Horticultural Socie-
ty. Five hundred dollars an acre is the
sum reported for the cherry crop at
Sturgeon Bay last year. Apples in
Richland county are shown to be worth
as much as $291 per acre for series of
years.
The opportunities in Wisconsin for
fruit raising are shown to be as good as
in any other state East or West.
1t is further stated: Land can be
bought in Wisconsin, an orchard plant
ed thereon and brought to profitable
bearing for one fourth to one half the
price asked for western irrigated or
chard tracts"
Cost of raising an orchard, cost of
maintenance, fruit districts and prices
of lands are other topics.

The Mother of Trusts.

Chicago Daily Journal: The tariff is
the mother of trusts" Every mon
opoly in the United States that yields
an arbitrary power of artificial taxation
does so in the main through tariff
schedules. 1t is by this standard that
the Aldrich Taft law, like its pre-
decessors, must be judged.
The most hopeful sign of today is the
protest of trust ridden consumers
against robbery under the forms of law.

A Strange Method of saIutation.


Of all the strange modes Of saluta-
ton the most extraordinary is the
"dance of ceremony current in the
west African kingdom of Dahomey.
Whenever any Dahoman chief or Off
cial of rank comes to pay you visit
he always opens the interview by
dancing around you with various queer
contortions extremely suggestive Of
his having just upset kettle Of boil
ing water over his knees, which you
are bound to initiate as closely as pos
sible. 1t is even reported that one Of
the native, ministers Of the terrible
King Gezu owed his rapid rise at the
DahOman court wholly to his superior
skill in cutting these strange capers
and that he thus literally as well as
fguratively jumped to preferment.
