IA Tribute to a Friend. ]

IA Tribute to a Friend]
Last Christmas 1t was my pleasure
and privilege to have as guests some
very old friends. After more than
thirty years our paths had crossed
and memories were revived Of the
old times-of girlhood days when life
seemed only for pleasure-and we
were very happy. The toasts were
given with laugh and jest. But when
l raised my glass these thoughts
came:
l fain would drink to other scenes
and places,
To other Christmas times and days
To kind and gentle faces.
To memories 50 very dear
They make the voice to waver,
The eye to moisten with a tear.
The present lose it's favor.
Was 1t a premonition that ere an
other Christmas one sweet and gentle
face from out our number would
vanish into the great unknown, that
for us all this day would ever be a
memory dear Those who knew her
best told me afterwards that there
was look in her face that day that
troubled them. Later on l saw a
look Of suffering there-suffering
borne with such fortitude and oour-
age.
After months Of great physical pain
and of loving. tender care from those
who loved her beyond words, she
passed away.
Carrie McCrary Walker was born
March fourth. 1850, and died August
ninth. 1916.
A friend should be more capable of
writing a tribute to a friend, and yet
the thought Of all that endeared this
friend to me seems far too sacred to
express openly. But "Out Of the
heart the mouth speaketh." and so.
In feeble words, would honor her
who meant 80 much to me.
Youth for her was bright and
happy with home and friends. In
our quiet visits together Of recent
date I loved to hear her talk of her
parents-not in spirit of boasting
but with great loyalty for all they
had been and still were to her. Her
father was man Of integrity and
keen. intellect, q man honored by his
state as senator and by his country
as secretary OF war During the
many years spent In Washington

one. to be sympathetic. to live ones

Is the tribute I lovingly ascribe to
her who 50 rightly merited it.
These attributes 1--WE believe) are
from the Oliver Of every good and
perfect gift and can never die, but
live on to bless and brighten. Can
not we who loved he4nso dearly turn
from all that seems SO hopeless and
hard to understand and realize the
meaning of the words uttered by the
poet who was able to write:
There is no death. The stars go
down
To rise upon some fairer shore,
And bright in Heavens jeweled crown
They shine forever more
And ever near us though unseen

HOW TO AVOID
FIRES THIS FALL
Fire Chief Anderson Gives Some
Valuable "TIps" on Fire Proven.
tion About Rubbish Fires.

The increase Of fires with the ad
vent Of cold weather has caused the
fire department to issue instructions
on the prevention OF ignitions.
Here are a few tips" from Fire
Chief Anderson:
Most hres are caused through
carelessness.
Roof fires are caused by an accu.
mutation OF SCOT in the chimney
which becomes ignited. Keep your
chimney clean. The best way to do
this 10 to build a big fire IN your
stove OF furnace on a damp day when
the roof is wet. The SCOT will burn
out and the wetness OF the roof Will
prevent it from catching fire.
Have your furnace overhauled and
the pipes cleaned.
Don't allow rubbish to collect

NEED CLOTHING
FOR CHILDREN
Good Fellows Have Demands Tor
Clothing and Shoes That
They Arc Unable to
Meet.
MUST HAVE SOME HELP
Suggestion 10 Made That Ladies' Aid
Societies Can be Of Assistance
In Meeting These
Requests.
MUST HAVE SOME HELP

An appeal for children's clothes and
for shoes is being made by the Good
Fellows to the people of Keokuk.
Clothes of all kinds are being asked
for, but children's clothes especially
are needed just at this time. A num-
Der of children are being kept out OF
school because Of lack Of shoes. Many
grawn-ups are asking for shoes, and
the problem of meeting these demands
has become real one IN the hands
Of the Good Fellow organization
Through the kindness Of the Ben
evolent Union the Cool Fellows are
able to maintain their rooms. If they
do not get the clothing and shoes for
which there Ia demand, however.
they will be forced to go out Of exist
ence so far as this particular work is
concerned. This would be real
tragedy, for the Good Fellows manage
to meet the demands of the people to
whom money is luxury. without sac
rihcing any of those peoples self-re-
|spect.
In the years they have been In ex-
istence the Good Fellows have time
and again been the means OF clothing
children and grown-ups TOP, at n mod
crate outlay, and thus keeping the
children in school or the grownups at
their employment which might otner
wise have been abandoned oeca Use
they didn't have the clothes.
Should be Supported.
Such enterprises as this should be
supported by the people, especially
when a few young men Of the city are
willing to give their time t, work
which aims to help society in thu Ions
run.
At such times as this when tail
housekeeping has been on In full
blast, there must be clothing and
shoes which are being put away for
use "some-day" Why not send those
articles to the Good Fellows and let
them put them in use right away. They
will keep somebody warm, and help
keep somebody's feet from getting
frost bitten. Children's clothes es
pecially are needed, and many cases
of pupils out Of school because OF
clothing and shoes is being reported
to school authorities.
Societies Can Aid.
The Ladies' Sewing and Aid So
cieties Of the various churches might
take up this matter. They could do
a lot OF practical missionary work
right here at home IL they would, and
some Of the organizations are already
planning to gather up bundles OF
clothing and shoes.

70 KEEP WATER PURE

An Interested congregation at the
community church at Argyle las
evening heard DR.. G. Walter Barr tall
on the subject OF Sanitation of Rura
Communities. DR.. Barr. who hal
made study of this topic, spoke
along the lines Of water supply, sew
re and garbage disposal, ventilation
and heating. BY means Of diagrams
on blackboard, he was able to better
Illustrate to his audience the differ
emit points which he wished to empha
size.
For q scripture lesson DR.. Barr re-
ferred to certain chapters in Deuter-
onomy in which Moses gives instruc
ton to his people in the matter OF
eating and the like. These laws laid
down by him are in exact accord with
those which medical science is teach
Ing today.
Dr.. Barr said that while the santa
ton Of rural communities was most
important, little was being written
about It. The sanitation of a city is
not adapted to that OF country dis
| trict for many reasons. The basic
| conditions are different and In city
/ with running water at hand and sewer
/ systems the problem Is simple. In
| speaking Of the water supply Of. a
! rural community, DR.. Barr pointed
l. out the difference between a deep
+ we'll and q shallow well as the stu
| dent of sanitation finds them. Deep
wells. he explained. are those which
pass through stratum impervious to
water. For a deep well all that is
necessary to keep it pure is to wall 1t
down to this impervious strata.
Radius Of Contamination.
| Shallow wells are those which do
not pass through the impervious
strata and therefore present serious
problem. The chief danger is the
presence Of organic matter. 1t is
necessary that all dirt, offal, etc, be
kept out of the radius Of cOntamina-
ton. To ind this radius there are
two factors. II is not the amount Of
water In the we'll which counts, but
the greatest amount which ia drawn
out It any one time, said the speaker.
For instance, well which is used for
Watering stock is lowered several
inches each day. The greatest dis
| lance the water Is lowered is one fac
tor. The other is the consistency Of
the earth through which the well is
dug. For this section it Is 100 feet.
So computing the radius of contamina-
ton one figures it this way. The
we'll is lowered two feet at It's great
est distance. Two times 100 give 200
feet the radius Of contamination. 1t
Is not safe to put any. barns, chicken
houses, or water closets within this
radius. The table Of distances for
clay soil is so; for loan, 100; for
chalk $50 and for gravel 200.
The speaker advised against using
cistern for drinking purposes. If it
must be used for that. he advised a
filter or the permangtnate OF potash
treatment.

Sewage and Garbage.

The question of sewage and garbage
disposal are vital ones. Dr.. Barr rec
commended incineration in the range
OF the furnace OF garbage from the
Kitchen. He also explained how 1t
