Hill Crest, Union, Thursday after
noon Dec. 10Th, and her remains were
laid to rest the following afternoon
at $3.50 o'clock in the Episcopal ceme-
terry.
Mrs. McLure had been in feeble
health for the past year, and al
though her death has brought sorrow
to many hearts, the end had been
for some time thought to be immi-
nent.
Mrs. Mcclure had passed her eigh-
ty-second birthday, and up to short
lime ago was possessed of wonderful
vitality. She was a woman possess
ng brilliant mind thoroughly train
ed. She was a woman of great cul-
ture and refinement, and her long life
was given to cultivation of her mind
and to rendering service to others.
Mrs. Mcclure was born in England
and was the daughter of George
Poulton. Her mother, before her
Mrs. Mcclure when four years old,
came to this country with her pa
rents who settled in New York. Later
she came South and in 1852 she was
married to Major Mcclure.
Mrs. Mcclure was for many wears
an active worker in the Episcopal
Church here, of which she was a de-
voted member. For years she was
president of the Ladies' Guild, an or
ganlzation of that church, and she
was one of the principal workers in
that church.
The late Mrs. Thos. X. Dawkins
and Miss Charlotte Poulton, were
sisters of the deceased, and these
three sisters, together with Mai. Nc
Lure, who is a faithful church work.
er were for many years earnest sup
porters and members of the Church
of the Nativity here
Mrs. Mcclure is survived by her
husband, Maj. j. w. Mcclure, and a
large family of sons and daughters,
among them being Messrs. w. S. and
j. Fred Mcclure, Mrs. C. H. Alexan-
der and Miss Fannie Mcclure, all of
Union and Mr.. A. p Mcclure of Ian
caster Mr.. P. A. Mcclure, of Green
wood and Mrs. w. H. Roseborough, of
Chester.
The funeral was held at the Church
OF the Nativity Friday afternoon at
$3.50 o'clock and was conducted by
Rev. Jno. F. Matheson.
Mrs. McLure's death removes from
our community one of the oldest and
best residents, woman of great no.
bility of mind and heart, and one
whose life was and will continue to
be a benediction to others. To the
end of time the sweet fragrance of
such godly life will go on blessing
the children of men.

How Old Is Your
Hair and Complexion?
("Esther" in Household Helps.)

your hair need not be gray to
look old. 1t adds years to your ap-
pearance If it is dull, lifeless and
lusterless. Washing the head gives
that effect. 1t is better to use a dry
shampoo, like an original package of
therox mixed with cupful of corn
meal. Therox makes hair grow when
everything else fails. Sprinkle tea
spoonful of the mixture on your head
once a week and brush out well. 1t
makes the hair light, fluffy and clean
full of life and luster.

plexion? Throw away powders and
cosmetics If you would look young
dissolving an original package of
mayatone in a half pint of witch ha-
eel and rub gently over the face,
neck and arms every morning. Your
complexion soon will be smooth

in facilities for safe swimming, in
spite of the fact that it is on the
river, and there is no doubt that the
provision of such a pool here would
be of great benefit to boys and men
alike. 1t would make it possible for
swimmers to enjoy their favorite
sport in the water in a place so safe
guarded as to make accidents almost
impossible and at the same time it
would provide instruction for the
many who do not know how to swim
and help them to learn to care for
themselves in the water.
ADVOCATE ONE HERE.
The Y. NJ. c. A. is the logical place
for such a pool, as the association is
prepared to give such supervision
and direction as is necessary to Sc
cure the best results. The new
building for the local Y. NJ. c. A.
will undoubtedly contain a fine, thor.
oughly equipped swimming pool
which will be one of the most popu.
lar features it will have for boys and
men.
Bloomington Is city but little larg.
er than Rock Island, and yet the
erection of a fine building was found
to be easily possible there. The build
| ing in that city is one of the points
of local pride and is one of the
features of the civic life very large
ly advertised as illustrating the ad
vantages of the city as location To-
homes and business enterprises
Such a building in Rock Island will
be the best kind of advertisement o
local pride and progress that coult
be devised and will stand for year
as a monument to the spirit of tn,
people who provide it.

Are Microbes in Your Scalp
II Has Been Proved That Microbes
Cause Badness.

Professor Unna of Hamburg, Ger
many, and DR.. Sabourand, the leading
French dermatologist, discovered that
a microbe causes badness. Their the
DRY has time and again been amply
verified through research experiments
carried on under the observation of
eminent scientists. This microbe
lodges in the sebum, which is the nat
ural hair oil, and when permitted to
flourish it destroys the hair follicles
and in time the pores entirely close,
and the scalp gradually takes on a
shiny appearance. When this happens
there is no hope of the growth of hair
being revived.
We have a remedy which will, we
honestly believe, remove dandruff, ex-
terminate the microbe, promote good
circulation in the scalp, and arNund
the hair roots, and overcome badness,
SO long as there is any life left in the
hair roots.
We back up this statement with our
own personal guarantee that this rem
edy called Rexall "93" Hair tonic will
be supplied free OF all costs to the user
if ii fails to do as We state.
1t will frequently help to restore
gray and faded hair to its original col
or, providing loss of color has been
caused by disease; yet it is in no sense
a dye. Rexall "s3" Hair tonic accom-
plishes these results by aiding In max
ing every hair root, follicie, and pig.
ment gland strong and active, and by
stimulating a natural flow OF csloriny
pigment throughout the hair cells.
We exact no obligations or promises
we simply ask you to give Rexall
49, Hair tonic a thorough trial and
if not satisfied tell us and we will
refund the money you paid US for it

ASKS NATION TO
STOP POLYGAMY
Former United States Senator
Cannon Arraigns Mormon
ism in Lecture.
is KINGDOM OF ITSELF
Declares Sect Is Gradually Spreading
Its Fangs Over Republic
Danger Cited.

In one Of the most eloquent efforts
ever heard at Augustana ex-senator F.
]. Cannon Of Utah, last night denounc-
ed the Mormon church and les prac-
tees, Joseph Smith, and other sources
that the Mormon leaders had violated
all compacts which they had made
with the United States in order to gain
amnesty, restoration OF property and
statehood. He also contended that the
Mormon church is a kingdom set up
within a republic-bound by no promise,
respectful OF no statute, except such as
the prophet pproves-holding for its
purpose a destruction of Christian
marriage and free government and the
substitution of orientalism in the home
and civic domain. The senator also
stated that Roosevelt, Taft and Bryan
had bowed to the Mormon yoke and
that senators from seven states were
now controlled by the church. Attor-
ney H. A. Weld introduced the speak
er of the evening. Mr.. Cannon said in
part:
SHOOTS OATH OF VENGEANCE.
What are you going to do about
STU That's what Joseph Smith said.
Reed Smoot took an oath Of vengeance
against the people of this country and
he owes higher allegiance to the Nor
mon kingdom than to the United
States. An effort was made to unseat
him. You know the history of the
case; how the committee on privileges
Of the senate reported him guilty OF
polygamy. Then when We were about
TO win and when we thought the back
Of the kingdom was TO be broken, just
at that moment high political power
and high financial interests came tt
the aid of the Mormon church. There
was q delay Of three years. The news
paper agencies and news disseminating
agencies gave a different coloring tt
the Smoot case. Other big questions
were slillfully brought before the PEG
pie and Smoot retained his seat IL
the senate. If Smoot had been unseat
ed the power of the Mormon kingdom
would have been broken. No mission
Rry would have been able to teach II
any of the European countries. TIL,
life of the church was at stake. Three
years ago moved out of the kingdom
to get into the republic.

SWIMMING POOL

ant Art.

One of the most attractive feat
ures about a modern Y. NJ. C. A.
building is the swimming pool. This
is a feature which enters into prac-
tically all the buildings now being
erected and it serves more than ono
purpose.
Not only does the pool afford a
place for exercise and enjoyment
throughout the year, winter and
summer alike, but it gives a safe
place for boys and men to learn to
swim, and so becomes an actual
means of life saving by the preven-
ton of accidents. The county Off
Gals in one county in Illinois stated
after the Y. NJ. c. A. pool had been
in use for year, that there had been
an appreciable decrease in the num-
her OF deaths by drowning in that
county, which they attributed to the
influence of the swimming pool.
The building at Bloomington, ILL.,,
shown in the picture, is one of the
fine new buildings provided for the
work for young men. 1t was erected
about FIVE years ago, at a cost OF
200, and has become the CEN
ter of social, religious and athletic
life of that city.
HAVE FINE POOL.
The swimming pool at Blooming.
ton is matter of particular pride to
the association. 1t is of regulation
size, and of the handsome white tile
construction commonly used in the
! best pools and it is unique in that II
has a visitors gallery extending en-.
tirely, around the pool at a height t.
make it possible for spectators tC
watch the water sport without dan
ger of being splashed. A skylight
roof covers the pool affording album
dance of light and ventilation.
