READ ADS AND SAVE MONEY.

Never was there time In the history of this
country when the people were as constant and
Inveterate readers of newspapers as they are
today and this is especially so in the matter OF
newspaper advertising. People who few years
ago would hardly look at an advertisement
now digest every word of it, and they do it
with purpose. The human mind is broadening
and expanding, and becoming more liberal. 1t
demands food, and particularly that class of
food that conserves the financial interests of the
reader This demand is satisfied in perusal of
newspaper advertisements provided quick ac-
ton is taken to grasp the money-saving oppor-
tnnities offered The well worded advertise
ment appeals directly to every well balanced
mind Tt points the way to economy. And
the wise businessman advertises accordingly.

A Good Woman Summoned.9

With universal regret and sorrow
we received the report Of the untimely
death of Mrs. John Aide of this city,
which occurred at ST. Joseph's hospi-
tai at Dodgeville. Thursday morning,
Feb. 18th. Two weeks previous she
had gone there to have an operation
performed. Dr. Guthrie of Dubuque,
DIR. w. M. Gratiot and DR.. S. r. Rid
ley of this city were in attendance on
ly to find that her malady was incura-
BILE. Death came after two weeks of
painful illness, borne with christian
fortitude and resignation, surrounded
by her devoted husband and family, she
passed from this life. Mrs. Aides i'll
ness was only three months duration.
During that time she was at st. DO
seph's Mercy hospital in Dubuque on
two occasions.
The body was brought to this CITY
and rested at her home until Saturday
morning ten O'Clock, when funeral ser
vices were held at St. Mary's church,
Rev. N. Weyer officiating. The pail
bearers were: Victor Meuer, Edward
Ley, Will Norman, James Murphy and
John McDermott. The many beautiful
floral offerings and the large concourse
of friends that constituted the funeral
procession gave mute evidence of the
tender love and esteem OF all who knew
her.
Mrs. Aide. who maiden name was
Elizabeth Niedermeyer, was born in
Highland, May the 5th, 1886 She was
united In marriage at that place May
the 7th, 1889, to Mr.. John Aide. Three
daughters and two sons blessed this
union, one son dying in infancy. They

part of town, where the mother will
be greatly missed. Beside her husband,
three daughters and one son, mother,
two brothers and sister survive her,
and have the sympathy of host of
friends.

Obituary

Mary Ann Fitzsimmons, a daughter
of Thomas and Ann Berry, was born
Jan. Is, 1886. in Haddersfeld. York
shire, England, and died Feb. 10, 1916;
came to America with her parents in
lS43, arriving in Mineral Point in June
of that year Her girlhood life was
spent on farm few miles east of
Mineral Point, where she was married
to Mr.. Peter spang after which she
lived in Dodgevile for a number of
years. Three children were born to
this union, two of whom died in infancy
and one, Mr.. Joseph Spang, who pre-
ceded his mother to the grave Just one
year ago. In 1879 she was married to
Mr.. Richard Fitzsimmons, who with
one daughter are left to mourn the
death of q loving wife and mother.
Friends and neighbors will all testify
to the constant care and faithful at
tendance rendered by her daughter
during the latter years Of her mothers
life. Besides her husband and daughter
she is survived by one sister, Mrs.
Richard James of Mineral Point and
three brothers, Alfred of Long Beach
Cal, John and VIM. of Mineral Point,
Wis, besides two grand sons and one
great granddaughter

thing in their way and to be got rid of
as soon as possible, no matter how.
They think they can live as the butter
fly does when in its glory and sip honey
every hour from everything they see.
To find something entertaining, to be
amused, is all that they think of. This
is very natural, and it is well that they
can look on the bright side of life.
But they should know also that life is
not all play-spell. There are duties
to be performed, and real happiness
comes only after work we'll done. Hap
piness is not found when sought as the
chief thing in life. Entertainments
cease to entertain. The brilliant com
panion does not please always unless
there are sterling qualities Of charac-
ter back of the brilance. Work is the
blessing Of mankind. Play is relished
more after work is done. There ought
to be some earnest purpose, some wor-
thy aim in the heart of everyone. Live
to be and do. There are consequences
to all our acts. Folly sown brings a
bitter harvest which no one can escape
reaping. There are innocent joys to
which all, especially the young, are
entitled. But it should be learned that
living to some worthy purpose brings
the truest enjoyment.

A PROTEST TO TURKEY

This government has directed a
strong protest TO Turkey against the
further massacre of Armenian chris
tans This protest IS coupled with an
explanation that the American people
have been deeply stirred by the reports
of ruthless slaughter and other atroci-
ties perpetrated in Armenia, and that
this government has such precise Off
cial information concerning this matter,
that leaves no room for doubt as to the
responsibility of Turkish officials The
punishment Of these guilty officials is
asked in the name Of justice. together
with assurances, that this olrense
against civilization shall not continue.
In conclusion the Turkish government
is warned that should the Armenian
atrocities continue, the American gov.
eminent viii feel impelled to take ac-
ton of a more drastic character
American generally will heartily APP
prove the decisive stand taken by
their government in this matter.

HOW TO LOSE CITIZENSHIP.

If you are citizen of the United
States by birth or otherwise and de-
clare thet you would fight for another
country against United States in case

present time. The result is being

opinion of some that Theodore Roose-

the party in 1912 but they like to win,

Evening Wisconsin That a one-track
mind can get over great deal OF
ground is an obvious inference from
the circumstance that year ago Pres
ident Wilson thought the United States
had all the army and navy it needed,
and a month ago he was in favor of
Secretary Garrison's Continental Army
plan, and now he refuses to tie himself
up TO that or anything else. Mean
while Secretary Garrison has occupied
substantially the same position all the
time, and has resigned his portfolio
rather than recede.

Efficiency of farm labor is Often as
important as its distribution. Two
young men were blowing clover sod.
Each had two horses hitched to a ID
inch walking plow. II was heavy plow-
ing, and each team was barely able
to plow e acres a day. One morning
the men decided to try three horses on
one pillow. They did so, and to their
great surprise one man and three
horses easily plowed acres per day.
They plowed as much as two men and
three horses had previously done and
did it much more easily. 1t was even
easier for the driver, because it is al
ways easier to drive a team that is not
overloaded, The new arrangement re-
leased one man and one horse for other
work

ADULTERATED OYSTERS

Often consumers of oysters in this
part of the country remark that the
bivalves don't seem to have the flavor
that they used to have in the old times.
There's reason, and the reason is
succinctly stated as follows in bulletin
issued by the department of agricuI-
ture.
If four quarts of oysters and one
quart of fresh water are placed in a
five quart container and the mixture al
lowed to stand for several hours, there
will be marked change in the appear
ance Of the contents of the container.
To the naked eye there will appear to
be five quarts of dry oysters, for the
contaner will be full and there will be
little or no water in sight, it being on
the inside of the plump, succulent-look-
ing oysters The average purchaser
has no means of detecting the addition
of water The chemist, however by de-
termining the amount of water IN the
oyster and comparing it with the amount
that an oyster normally containes, can
readily detect the adulteration.
The bulletin declares that water
soaked oysters are adulterated within
the meaning of section seven of the
food and drug act, and that their ship
ment in interstate commerce is viola
ton Of that law. Oysters won't look
SO fat and taste SO fiat as they have of
late if the law is vigiantly enforced.
