For fever patients or those on liquid

This recipe is my own idea and is
made as follows: Soak a teaspoonful

an hour, strain and serve with the

This incident was the only one con.

In the meantime the battles on the
Continent continue, with ever-increas

the allies took early last week. has
brought about renewed activity all

Both the British and the French

NEIGHBOURS HELP

Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. Mather
Married Thirty-Five
Years--Poem Read.

On Friday evening Mr.. and Mrs. M.
Mather, Second street, celebrated their
thirty fifth wedding anniversary, a
number of neighbors, enjoying the
events.
A set of leather bottom chairs is q
gift of the occasion, and among the
event of the evening was a poem by
Mrs. George Hughes as follows:
We wish to greet this worthy pair
When wedding chimes are in the air;
May they ring both loud and clear,
Of future joy for many year.
They first rang out you know
In Sumpter town some years ago.
In fancy we see them side by side,
The slender youth and his blushing bride
AS they clasp hands for the journey of
life
And start out together as husband and
wife,
Father and mother were there that day
To wish them God speed on LIES path
way.
The brothers and sisters and friends so
dear
Were gathered together from far and
near,
But most of the ones that were there
that day
Have either moved or passed away;
They settled down on Sumpter soil
To earn their living by honest toll
They made some moves but not away
And never move that did not pay; s..
Yes, Mather and his little wife
Have played right hard the game of life
For all of that they made it pay
And in the end things came their way.
They began their live with only team
But now they ride in their motor ma
chine,
They don't enjoy going with an empty
back seat,
AS people do that we often meet.
Baraboo weekly news. [volume] (Baraboo, Wis.) 1912-197?, 1915-02-25

They have five sons and daughters dear
Their lives to comfort, bless and cheer,
So taking it all in all together
They've had more of sunshine than
stormy weather
God has been good and friends have
been true
And never their sky without a bit of
blue.
Some years ago they bid adieu,
To their country home and neighbors,
too
Their season of toll and work is DER,
Nov they'r enjoying a well earned
store.
Their pleasant home SO cosy and neat
You'll find is now on Second street.
We are glad that they are both alive,
To welcome US at thirty five;
If you'll only stay till then
At fifty years we'll come again.
