James Croft Dies at GAINESVILLE.

James Croft, another of the older
residents of Edgerton and later of
GAINESVILLE, highly revered citizen and
a veteran of the civil war, passed away
at $50 o'clock Tuesday morning at his
home, 338 Cherry street, GAINESVILLE.
He had been enjoying his usual good
health until last Friday, when he was
taken with chill which brought on the
illness that caused his death.
For many years Mr.. Croft was one
of the prominent business men OF
GAINESVILLE, being engaged as mason
contractor, and as such he had part
in building many of the business blocks
and residences of GAINESVILLE. He was
man of sterling worth with noble
qualities of Christian character. He
was a member of the Methodist church.
Mr.. Croft was born in Yorkshire,
England in November, 1884. He came
to America when a young man and
located in Wisconsin. He enlisted with
the Twelfth Wisconsin battery and
served throughout the war of the re-
bellion. For his valient services he
was awarded medal for bravery by
the national government during the
second Cleveland administration. He
was a member of the H. S. Swift Post
G. A. R. of Edgerton. He was also a
member of the Masonic order.
Four daughters survive to mourn the
death of kind and loving father: Miss
Minnie Croft of Janesville,. Mrs. Ar
thur Clarke of Edgerton, Mrs. Ernest

of Baltimore, Md. He also leaves ten
grandchildren.

The National Sabbath.

The National Sabbath, the day al
most half century old, set apart for
the annual tribute to the dead of the
great nation, will soon be here. Almost
every patriotic organization in the
country is making preparations to OBJ
serve the day, and this is as it should
be. Since we are living in CONNER
cial age and the question with each of
us is "How many dollars can we get?"
we need the balancing power of SYM
pathy, fraternity, charity and loyalty
to equalize the affairs of life.
One day, or at least few hours of
that day, in our busy, hurrying lives
ought to be given to the memory of
the men who gave themselves living
appreciation of the services rendered
ever be cherished, May 80 was estab-
that the most grateful homage that
human hearts can pay and the loving
tributes of all loyal citizens are freely
rendered in the truest spirit of rever-
ence and gratitude to the men whose
loyalty to their country and flag made
it possible for US to enjoy EARTH
greatest blessing. Only one day in the
year is set aside for this purpose, and
that should be devoted by ali the peo-
pie with all the earnestness possible.
Let it be as in the words of Logan:
eff other eyes grow dull and other
hands slack, and other hearts cold, in
the solemn trust, ours shall keep it as
long as the light and warmth of life
shall remain in u.s."

no men callers, do not care for them
i cry many of my evenings away.
Why should such an illicit love
come to any woman? Why?
have asked that so many times
what directed my footsteps to that
office and kept me there
feel and think all of these things,
but l would not have him give up his
family for me for anything in the
world, even though he were that kind
of man.
No woman brings ali the misery of
such love upon herself willingly. l
have wished on my knees many times
had never seen him-but no one can
regulate love, it just comes and is
there before we know it.
l am writing you this from my
desk in this same office l am telling
you about-what a queer world it is,
tragedy and sentiment all around us
i, like the little maid who wrote
you, must go on working-but all
earn in the week does not pay one
tenth of the heartache and misery
suffer.
Please accept and publish this for
what it is worth-it is the everyday
life of woman who by chance has to
work-some who read will under
stand; others will say ct is her own
fault, she could have resisted him."
etc., etc.; others will be glad their love
has fallen in the right place-my ans
swer to every criticism isl do all
these things BECAUSE ]. LOVE HIM.
My life is sad for years to come,
all 1 can see is dull gray, never
changing horizon-there is no sun
shine for me, no home with the man |
l love best, no babies.
What have said to you may help |
some other girl to run away" from

URIC ACID IN MEAT
CLOGS THE KIDNEYS
Take a glass Of Salts if your Back hurts
or Bladder bothers you-Drink
more water.

IF you must have your meat every day,
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally, says a noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their eff
forts to expel it from the blood. They
become sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with a dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
time during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces Of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take tablespoonful in glass OF
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and. has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize the acids in urine,
so it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, and makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink.

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't stay gray! Here's simple
recipe that anybody can apply
with a hair brush.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to it's natural
color dates back to grandmothas1s time.
She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and abundant Whenever
her hair fell out or took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this sim
pie mixture was applied with wonderful
effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a so cent bottle Of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy," you will get this famous old
recipe which can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to the
hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry,
feuerish, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known downtown druggist says
it darkens the hair so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied. You simply dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one strand at
time. By morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application or
two, it becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and abundant.

Loyalty Not Essential

In order to establish and have paid

the dislOyalty Of men who are no
