FAMOUS LANDSCAPE
PAINTER IS dead
Henry Ward Ranger Was Con-
Sidered Dean Of His Art

| New York, Nov. S.-Henry Ward
Ranger, dean of American landscape
painters, died suddenly in his studio
| at ~ West Sixty-seventh street, yes
terday. He was fifty eight years old.
Cardiac trouble was the cause of
Mr. Hangers death. He returned to
New York from q. sanitarium at Wat
k1n's Glen, N. Y, last Thursday, and
was in cheerful spirits up to early af-
ternoon yesterday, when he felt a
slight nausea as he was about to go
for a walk. He lay down on his bed
and in few moments was dead.
Mr.. Rangers pictures hang in many
Of the public art galleries of the coun-
try, including the Metropolitan Art
Museum and the Carnegie Institute in
Pittsburgh, as we'll as in many pri-
vate galleries. His work was greatly
admired by the late J. P. Morgan, who
had deep respect for Mr.. Rangers
powers as a judge of art.
Born in Syracuse, N. Y, Mr.. Ran
ger received his education in the pub
lie schools of that city and in Syra-
cuse university. He was self taught
in art. He assimilated various forms
of landscape painting by travel and
study in France, England, and Ho1-
land.
Mr.. Ranger had a Summer home in
Noank, Conn, and the shores and
hills of Connecticut were the subjects
of many Of his paintings. While the
critics said that the first of the Ran
ger paintings were untrue to nature,
this criticism was not often heard
after his maturity. His work was
generally known for portraying the
force rather than the delicacy Of ma
ture.
Among his finest pictures are High
Bridge" and Spring Woods" in the
Metropolitan Museum; "Sheep Pas
ture,' in the Pennsylvania Academy:
Top of the Hill'', Corcoran Gallery,
Washington; "Bradbury's Mill Pond,
No. e." National Gallery, Washington.
Mr.. Ranger took gold medals at
Charleston in 1902 and in Philadel-
phia In 1907. His paintings also hang
in several museums Of Europe. He
was elected to the Natioal Academy
Of Design in 1906. He was also a
m ember Of the Lotos club. For many
years he had been friend of Sir
Alfred East of London.
1t had been Mr.. Rangers custom
% spend the winters in Porto Rico, |
md he had a large circle of friends |
1t San Juan.
In 1884 Mr.. Ranger married Miss |
Helen E. Jennings of Syracuse. She |
lied in Geneva, Switzerland, in June |
f 1915. They had no children.

Everyone Should
Drink Hot Water
in the Morning
Wash away all the stomach, liver,
and bowel poisons before
breakfast.

To feel your best day in and day
out, to feel clean inside; no sour bile
to coat your tongue and sicken your
breath or dull your head; no constipa-
ton, bilious attacks, sick headache,
colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stom-
ach, you must battle on the inside like
you battle outside. This is vastly more
important, because the skin pores do
not absorb impurities into the blood,
while the bowel pores do, says a we'll
known physician.
To keep these poisons and toxins
we'll flushed from the stomach liver,
kidneys and bowels, drink before
breakfast each day, a glass of hot
water with teaspoonful Of limestone
phosphate in it. This will cleanse,
purify and freshen the entire alimen-
tary tract, before putting more food
into the stomach.
Get quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from your pharma cist. 1t
is inexpensive and almost tasteless,
except a sourish twinge which is not
unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot
water every morning to rid your sys-
tenn of these vile poisons and toxins;
also to prevent their formation.
TO feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became saturated with an &C
emulation Of body poisons, begin this
treatment and above all, keep 1T up!
AS SOAP and hot water act on the skin,
cleansing. sweetening and purifying,
go limestone phosphate and not water
before breakfast. act on the sto1iiac1i'
liver kidneys and bowels.

CROPS NOT HURT
NEAR SO BADLY.

The Editor of the News oas seen
storms like we had last week before
and from the first told our farmers to
wait until the sun had chance to
pull up crops before giving up. OF
course crops on bottom lands that
we're under water SO long are a total
loss, but we never did think that crops
on uplands were iniured to any great
extent. The following from the Hat.
tiesburg News OF Tuesday desert hes
the situation In Jones county:
Pet yeen IS and 80 per cent. OF the
corn and cotton crops Of Forest coun-
ty and this section escaped serious
damage in last weeks storm, accord
ing to travelling nee working out Of
Hattiesburg and farmers who have
gone over their fields following the
excisemeut caused by the gale.
Mr.. Currie says, ''At least W per
cent. Of the core escaped upinlured,
while | saw practically no cotton hurt.
Only the corn that was practically ma
tured was injured to any extent The
Younger grade, while blown down, will
raise itself after day or lwor
MIR. r. w. Hand, one Of our most
leyil-headed merchants, SAYS you can
not estimate the damage to crops for
a week on ten days. Some farmers
say their cotton is shedding all it's
fault. Our friend Watson, on Pleas
ant Ridge, brought Us iu several stalks
of cotton that had thrown of every
thing and the complaidt Of cotton
shedding Is general. Mr.. Hand i,

tation among the members OF his own
church for tithiug, declaring on every
opportunity that the word OF God
commanded every man to give one
tenth OF all be made. Mr.. Gates has
been successful land-speyulator
around Laurel, and be bas always has
an eye 10 the main chance 10 business.
But his fight was almost too success
ful. The trusting people of Laurel
who belonged TO his flock in large
measure agreed with him, and finally
at meeting of the membership OF
his church 1t was proposed that Il be
made fundamental requirement for
membership ln it. Mr.. Gates was
acting as moderator, and when the
question was put to a vote, it resulted
in tie, an equal number voting on
each side OF the question. 1t was left
to Mr.. Gates himself to break this
tie, and there hung on one side what
he declared to be his conviction as to
right and wrong, while the other side
imposed sacrifice on him, for it
meant split in his church. He
voted against the very thing he had
advocated in and out Of season for
more than year.
For many years Mr.. Gates made it
a practice to order his local paper
stopped when a liquor advertisement
appeared in it, and made vicious de-
nunciation OF the editor for printing
these advertisements from his pulpit
But when Mr.. Aytes OF Kentucky
came to town, and began lauding Mr..
Gates, be had no denunciation for the
publication of such advertisements
after the passage of law against
them, even to the very date, May l,
that it went into operation. TAere
was not word of protest when this
newspaper had keg of beer opened
IN plain view of one OF the principal
business thoroughfares of his city,
aud dispensed it TO boys under age,
while the church bells of the town
were ringing Sunday morning.
We would kindly advise Mr.. Gates
to stick to his pulpit, and not TO at
tempt to bluff and bulldoze the Tree
born people of our county, or to make
"a futile effort to tear down a splen-
did institution out of spite. When he
attempts to put such threat into
effect, he will find his task as vainless
as the guat that tried to make an
impression with its bill on a steers s
! horn,
Mr.. Gates threat to tear up our A..
H. S. root and branch just because
the News insisted that the people be
given vote on that hospital bond
issue reminds us of a story told by
Gen. John B. Gordon. The General
says that while Lees army was march
