OBITUARY.
MRS. MILTON FRAZIER.

Abbie ]. Lord, wife of Milton Frazier.
died at her home in Los Angeles, CAL, ON
dec. q last. Mrs. Frazier, whose health
had not been good for several years,
suffered an attack OF grip which so weak
ened her heart that although her con-
dition had somewhat improved she was
too weak to rally.
Mrs. Frazier was born in Ellsworth, the
daughter of the late Capt. Benjamin Lord
and wife. Her early life was spent here,
and here she was married to Mr.. Frazier, a
member OF well-known Ellsworth fam
lily. Soon after their marriage they
moved to New Jersey and later to Lynn,

until going to California few years ago.
Besides her husband, with whom she
had spent fifty-four years OF welded life,
she leaves one daughter, Mrs. Samuel

EVERYBODY NEEDS
PURE, RICH BLOOD

Pure blood enables the stomach,
liver and other digestive organs to do
their work properly. Without it they
are sluggish, there is loss of appetite,
sometimes faintness, deranged state
of the intestines, and, in general, all
the symptoms of dyspepsia.
Pure blood is required by every
organ Of the body for the proper per-
Torrance Of its functions.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes pure
blood, and this is why it is so sue
cessful in the treatment Of so many
diseases and ailments. Its acts di-
rectly on the blood, Kidding it Of
scrofulous and other humors. 1t Is
a peculiar combination Of blood-puri-
flying, nerve-toning, strengthening
substances Get it today.

clifton Church Roll-call

The annual church roll-cali and dinner
were held Saturday, Dec. IL, at the home
OF M. F. Chick. A goodly number was
present, nearly all of the members and q
few friends. dinner such as the ladies
OF this church know how to get up, was
served at noon.
The roIl-call and responses were in the
afternoon, also letters from absent mem
ters and former pastors were read. Alto
gether it was day pleasantly and social
ly spent, strengthening the ties OF
Christian fellowship in the little church.
The Sunday school closed Dec. II, owing
to cold weather and the long distance that
many had to go, some three miles or more.
The school was interesting and well at
tended the past season. 1t was in session
eight months, with an enrolment OF
seventy-five scholars. The total atten-
dance was LAP, the largest attendance was
ninety, the smallest was thirty-three, the
average was fifty.
The largest offering was the birthday
offering OF % 81, the smallest was thirty
five cents, and the average was Sl.00. A
cradle-roll department was organized
during the season and has q membership
OF fourteen, making total enrolment Of
efghty-nine in the school. To the library
was added forty-five volumes. Consider
ing that the town has only population of
217, scattered broadcast for miles, it seems
the Sunday school is doing very well away
back in the woods.

CAPE OF GOOD CLOTHES.
The Finer the STUFF the More Watch.
full One Should Be.

The Finer the Stuff the More Watch.
full One Should Bs.
It Is a very common mistake 10 be-
neve that good materials. whether Of
cotton. silk or wool, need less care than
cheap ones. How often does one com
plain of the lack Of wearing quality In
a garment for which big price has
been paid. Yet, most frequently, what
has worn out the fabric has not been
actual use, but the neglect 1t has suf-
fered.
One of the, principal differences be-
tween good and cheap materials is that
the better grades are finer spun. This
may mean that the fabric Is stronger
and, In proportion to the uses to which
1t Is put. may wear longer, but 1t also
means that each tiny thread by itself is
weaker and more apt to injury. Any
thing which may attack the threads
one by one, therefore, does more harm
with fine goods than with coarse.
No matter how careful one may try
to be, clothes that one wears gradually
get tride Of the grease from the per-
spiration Of the body In spite of con-
slant watching clothes will become
dusty. This combination of dust and
body moisture forms regular breeding
ground for tiny little vegetable growths.
These are so small that 1t takes the
most powerful microscope even to see
them.
In themselves these bacteria do but
little harm, but many Of them set free
an acid which eats into the fiber Of the
material. II the individual fiber is
coarse the deposit Of the acid upon 1t
Is not enough to eat all the way
through, but II It Is sheer or woven of
fine threads one by one the threads are
eaten through and the texture weak
ened.
Good clothing. instead Of being kept
shut away In boxes and drawers, should
be constantly aired and shaken. The
finer the material the more often should
1t be looked after. A coarse piece of
goods will wear out by using, a fine
piece by being laid away.-New York
