Dies at the Home Of His Daughter,
Mrs. Claude Smith, on Water
Street.

Antoine Christeson passed away at
lS:45 Sunday evening at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. Claude Smith
on Water street, following an ex-
tended illness from paralysis. Mr.
Christeson was stricken with par
alysis about seven or eight months
ago and left with his whole right
side helpless. Since that time he
suffered several slight strokes but
seemed to be getting brighter and
those who were, with him noticed
changes for the better day by day.
However, about ten days ago Mr..
Christeson's condition took turn
for the worse and he suffered sever
| al slight strokes, each Of which left
him weaker.
Antoine Christeson was born in
Denmark, July s, 1851, and came to
this country 43 years ago-when he
was a boy of twenty-one. Upon COM
| ing to this country he came direct to
Webster City and left shortly after
ward to take UP farming in Wright
county. He was united in marriage
in Webster City On July 20, 1878,
with Miss Christina Peteson and the
couple moved to the David Eyer
farm, southeast of town, where they
resided for five years. They bought
farm in Freedom township then
and moved onto it where they made
their home until seven years ago,
when they moved to this city.
The deceased was converted to
the Christian faith fifteen years ago
and joined the Homer Baptist
church ten years ago, uniting with
the Baptist church in this city when
he moved here. He was a kind and
loving husband and father and a
good man. The wife and daugh-
ter, Mrs. Claude Smith, and two
sons, Charles of this city and An
drew, living nine miles southwest OF
town, are left to mourn his death.
/ The funeral services will be held
from the Baptist church this
afternoon at $50, conducted by Rev.

Lest We FORGET.

Do not forget the birds these days
when the trees and all vegetation is
thickly coated over with ice and
snow with neither food nor water
available for the little feathered
creatures. No 'woodpecker coulo
find an insect on the trunks Of trees
in such weather as this and water
should be set out for them. A pan OF
warm water will remain unfrozen
for long time and should furnish
drink for countless birds. Meat
scraps, bread crumbs, and small
grains will be greatly appreciated
by nut matches, juncoes, woodpeck'
ers, chickadees and blue-jays. be-

Four cent hogs made their APP
pearance on the local market Mon
day, and the pork prophets, who
early in the fall thought that three
cents would be the outside mark for
this winter, have nothing to say.
This steady rise in the price of hogs,
would seem to explode the theory
that cheap corn always makes cheap
pork and vica versa. Hogs now, with
corn at sixteen cents, are about
where they were one year ago, with
corn at so cents II there is any one
occupation for the thrifty farmer
that is more conducive to, a serene
frame of mind than a contemplation
of this Florida winter, it must be
feeding 16 cent corn to cent hogs.

How to Judge a
Woman by Her Hair

There are always the well-known
and semi-humorous methods, such as
saying brunettes are quick.tempered.
But there is a real common sense in
just noticing whether the hair is well
kept to judge a woman's neatness. II
you are one Of the few who try to
make the most Of your hair, remem-
Der that 1t Is not advisable to wash
the hair with any cleanser made for
all purposes, but always use some good
preparation made expressly for sham
pooling. You ca nenjoy the very best
by getting some canthrox from your
druggist and dissolving a teaspoon
full in a cup of hot water when your
shampoo is all ready. After its use
the hair dries rapidly with uniform
color. Dandruff, excess oil and dirt
are dissolved and entirely disappear.
Your hair will be so fluffy that it viii
look much heavier than 1t is. Its
lustre and softness will also delight
you, while the stimulated scalp gains
the health which insures hair growth.

Peel off Your Freckles

To remove freckles, blotches or any
complexion difficulty, the best thing
to do is to remove the skin itself. This
is easily and harmlessly done by the
application of ordinary mercolized
wax The wax peels off the defective
outer skin, little each day, gradual
ly bringing the second layer Of skin
to view The new skin is beautifully
soft, clear, white and young looking.
Just procure an ounce of mercolized
wax at any drug store and use like cold
cream. ADV.
