Expressions of Regret to Have No

Washington, May 31.-America's

taking shape today.
1t will be stated that the president
knew when he sent the first note that
the Lusitania was not recognized as an

only was she unarmed but that she

CENTENARIAN IS DEAD.

To live to be over a hundred years
old is privilege granted to few men.
When a person passes that mark, he
becomes man of prominence. And
so it was that few years ago Michael
Skones attracted public attention by
his longevity as he passed the hundredth
mile stone of life and the neighbors
gathered to celebrate the event with
him. But the rigors of time finally
overcame the old Viking and last We'd
nesday he passed away in his hundred
and third year at the home Of his daugh-
ter, Mrs. John Hojem in Shutdown.
The funeral was held Saturday at the
Hojem home and at the Shutdown
Church, Revs. Floren and Jacobson
officiating. Interment was in the church
cemetery.
Michael Skones was a remarkable
man, not only for the length of his life
but for the vigor which he displayed
in his advanced years. After he reached
the age of 100 years he maintained his
vigor and the use of all his faculties to
a remarkable degree. Only in the past
few years did he show signs of failing
health. Much might be written of
the events which transpired during the
long career of this old man. His name
will long be remembered as that of
the oldest man in these parts. He
was man of fine character, sturdy
Norseman and a fine example of that
sturdy race of men noted for their
vigor and strength of body and char
acter.
Michael Skones was born April 3rd,
1911 in Norway and would have been
104 years old on the 3rd of April. He
came to this country at the advanced
age of 80 years and made his home
with his daughter, Mrs. John Hojem.
His wife died in Norway years ago.
He. has a son, Henry in Montana

SALTS # KIDNEYS
OR BLADDER BOTHER
Harmless to flush Kidneys and neutral
ize irritating acids Splendid
for system.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder, where
it often remains to irritate and inflame,
causing burning, scalding sensation, OF
setting up an irritation at the neck of
the bladder, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
The sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with a scalding
sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it,
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and some
times very painful. this is really one of
the most simple ailments to overcome.
Get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from your pharmacist and take table.
spoonful in glass of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or three
days. This will neutralize the acids in
the urine so it no longer is source OF
irritation to the bladder and urinary or.
gans' which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
is used BY thousands of folks who are
subject to urinary disorders caused by
uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splcn-
did for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.

GRAY HAIK BECOMES
DARK, THICK, GLOSSY
Look years younger! Try Grandma's
recipe of Sage and Sulphur
and nobody will know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and lustre
to the hair when faded, streaked or gray;
also ends dandrutf, itching scalp and
stops falling hair. Years ago the only
way to get this mixture was to make it
at home, which is mussy and trouble
some.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for 'sWyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy" You will get large
bottle for about SO cents. Everybody
uses this old, famous recipe, because no
one can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at q
time; by morning the gray hair disap-
pears, and after another application OF
two, your hair becomes beautifully dark,
thick and glossy and you look years
younger.

DEATH OF WELL-KNOWN ST.
JAMES MAN.

Col. J. J. Thornton, St. James oldest
inhabitant, who has lived in that city
more than forty-four years, passed
away at five o'clock Monday, Feb.
9th. While he had not been as robust
as usual the past year, no one antici-
pated his sudden demise and it came
as great shock to his family and
friends.
John James Thornton was born in
Elaria, Ohio, June 6, 1910. In 1852
he moved to Dodge county, Wiscon-
sin, and in 1871 he came to St. James
where he remained an honored and
respected citizen until his death. Dur
ing his long life he had many ambitions
gratiied and many honors rendered him.
At II years of age he became teacher
in the public schools and before he was
thirty he had been admitted to the
bar. He was always identified with
the Democratic party and had many
political successes, having served three
successive terms as county attorney
of Watonwan county, from 1874 to
1878, and one term in 1890. Under
Cleveland's administration, he was ap-
pointed postmaster and held that office
until Mckinley was elected.
On November 6, 1867, he was united
in holy matrimony to Harriet B. Brown,
who with one son, ]. J. Thornton, of
Memphis, Tennessee, survives him. The
funeral was conducted last Thursday
by the local Masonic lodges, with the
Knights Templar Of Mankato, acting
as special escort.
