4 GOOD SUGGESTION

The Savannah News makes a sug-
gestion which appears to us to be a
good one. Our contemporary says:
NO warship, it appears, was with
in wireless hailing distance of the
Titanic, and yet both the United
States and England have tens and
dozens of fast cruisers and battle
ships that might, better than not, be
assigned to patrol the transatlantic
lane in time Of peace, for the purpose
of rendering aid and even firing ex-
plosive shells against icebergs in the
way of target practice. One shell
or dozen shells might not have the
effect of disintegrating menacing
floating ice in such mass as sent the
Titanic to the bottom, yet there is a
chance that explosive shells fired
against the 'bergs would cause phys
ical changes in them that would di-
minish their menace to shipping;
and at all events a patrol of the
great ocean lane by warships equipp-
ed with the most improved wireless
apparatus would make for the great
er safety of the thousands who cross
the ocean when the 'bergs are adrift.
War vessels, it seems, might well be
used for some other purpose than
dancing, when there is no fighting to
be done"

Aemo Makes Astonishing Eczema
Cures. We Prove 1t.

Cures. We Prove 1t.
Every day ZEMO gives relief and
cures, men, women and children in
every city and town in America
whose skins are on fire with torturing
ECZEMA rashes and other itching,
burning, scaly and crusted skin and
scalp humors.
ZEMO and ZEMO (ANTISEPTIC)
SOAP, two refined preparations, will
give you such quick relief that you
will feel like new person.
We give you three reasons why we
recommend and endorse ZEMO and
ZEMO SOAP for all skin and scalp
eruptions.
L. They are clean, scientific prep
arations that give universal satisfac-
ton and are pleasant and agreeable
to use at all times.
2. They are not experiments, but
are proven cures for every form of
skin or scalp affections whether on
infants or grown persons.
3. They work on new principle.
They do not glaze over the surface,
but they penetrate to the seat of the
trouble and draw the germ life from
underneath the skin and destroy it.
In this way complete cure is effect
ed in any case of SKIN OR SCALP
ERUPTION.

The Butterfly.

On wings that flash upon the breeze
Like spots of light or shattered
beams
Or many colored glories such
AS mortals see in dreams,
This fragile wanderer of the air
Fits here and there, fits here and
there.
So fit the wanton joys of life
From pink to pink, from rose to
rose,
Frail lives that faint and pass away
When summer goes.
Touch lightly, they are fragile things,
Nor break their wings, nor break
their wings.

Here is a new kind of joint de-

candidates for the legislature have
agreed to make their campaign to-

while the other man will state his
case. No matter which one is elected
his present role in politics will be
of more benefit than ever again.

Oft in the cleaning have I seen
Where dies the day,
A myriad host whose banners CLEAN
Along the way.
And as the day was gain or loss
Sang or wept this phantom host.
And when life's sunset streams across
The way we tread
And shadows lengthen after us
Our souls may dread
The passing of this shadow throng.
God grant they raise a victor's song.

DOUBLE FUNERAL N.
AT UNPLEASANT
SERVICES FOR MRS. sLATTERY
AND MRS. LAWLER HELD TUES
DAY At CATHOLIC CHURCH.

Mt. Pleasant, March 27.-A sad and
unusual spectacle was seen At the
st. Alphonsus Catholis church Tues
day morning when joint funeral was
held, two caskets being in the church
at the same time, and two mourning
families being present at the same
time. The services were for Mrs
Margaret Lawler OF this city; and her
sister-in-law, Mrs. Ellen Slattery, who
died within a few hours OF each other
Saturday evening.
The service for Mrs. Slattery was
held first and was conducted by Father
Hogan Of Fairfield. When this was
body was carried to the rear of the
I casket OF Mrs. Lawler took it's place
near the altar. The service for ner
was read by Father HeinaH Of this
city. High requiem mass was sung
and both services were impressive.
The church was crowded with people,
some being obliged to stand.
Two hearses left the church at the
same time, and the funeral party pro-
ceeded to the Catholic cemetery,
where interment took place. Much
sympathy was everywhere expressed
tor the double bereavement which has
come to these two homes.
It will be remembered that Mrs.
Slattery died first, as the result Of
stomach trouble, and that Mrs. Law
Ter. her sister-in-law, passed away a
few hours after, 40 the result OF heart
trouble brought on partly by the ex.
element incident to her sister-in-law's
death. She lived only half an hour
sitter, stricken. Both were highly
esteemed women.
Mrs. Slattery was sister of Dan
Lawler of Ottumwa, and Mrs. Law
Ter his brothers. widow.
