I'M MEMORIAM.

band and father Charles Miner who departed us
life six years ago. February 2. 1909.
The month Of February once more Is here
To the saddest OF the year.
Because it took from us our dear husband ~
father
Six years ago today
Just beyond the River Jordan
Just across the chilling tide.
There's and of life eternal,
Through its vale sweet waters glide.
Only Just across that river
Is our father we loved below.
Clad in pure and spotless garments,
That whittier than the snow.
we shall meet him some brig 1t morning
Watching by that river fair;
He IL waiting for our coming
In the upper garden there
we once had a cheerful happy home
And devoted husband and father who stood
by u.s.
But now since he i dead and gone,
Our home II not what it used to be-

Ia loving but sad remembrance Of George Nv
Zepp, who departed this life one year ago Fehrn.
AIRY 9, 1914.
One long and sad year has passed away
With grief and pain our hearts have shared
But some sweet day we meet ore there
In the city gold to part no more,
Dear husband and father, Oh how we miss thee
From suffering and toll though are free;
At the golden gates though waiting
With joy and peace TO greet US there.
BY YOUR LOVING WIFE AND DAUGHTER HAZEL
In remembrance of our dear brother, Eli Koontz
who departed this life December n. 1914.
We have laid our dear brother to rest
And folded his cold hands upon his breast
In silence he suffered
And in patience he bore.
Brother dear the call came NO sudden
Not time to say good-buy,
But we know your thoughts were of us
When you were called to die.
We miss his coming foot steps.
We miss him every where,
Home is not what it used to be
Since our dear brother 10 not there.
Gone in the best Of his days
Blighted in manhood's bloom.
Torn from the hearts that loved him
To sleep in the silent tomb.
No more his cheerful smiles we see
Nor hear his welcome voice
That always in troubled hours
Would make our hearts rejoice.

a whole nation is advanced BY the brushing away
Of the physical restraints of centuries. ....
This contribution to the future happiness and
prosperity of more closely united people has
not been brought about, however, BY the over

It's success has depended upon the exercise OF

the solution was found only II the cumulative Ct

Mrs. Eula Mae Reid, of this place, THAT
Cardui, the woman's tonic, has done me
great deal of good.
Before commenced using Cardui,
would spit up everything | ate. had a
tired, sleepy feeling all the time, and was
irregular. ! could hardly drag around,
and would have severe headaches con-
tinuously.
Since taking cardui, I have entirely
quit splitting up what eat. Everything
seems to digest all right, and / have
gained 10 pounds in weight"
If you are victim of any of the numer-
Gus ills so common to your sex, it is
wrong to suffer.
For half century, Cardui has been re-
lieying just such ills, as is proven by the
thousands Of letters, similar to the above,
whicd pour into our Office, year by year.
Cardui is successful because 1t Is COM
