ENTERED INTO REST
Nicholas GRADER.


The death of Mr. Nicholas GRADER, a
we'll known man and one of the com.
munities' finest characters, occurred at
his home here on Dodge street, early
Wednesday evening, June &c. 1918.
Mr. Graber had been very i'll several
weeks but bore his suffering with chris
tian fortitude and was much comforted
by frequent visits from Father Weyer
and Father O'Reilly. His devoted wife
was ever in attendance and he died
with smile on his face in the arms of
his son Henry.
The funeral took place Friday morn,
ing with services at st. Mary's church
and an address by Rev. FIR. Weyer.
The funeral was one of the largest ever
held here, The Catholic Knights, the
Catholic Foresters, Knights of Colum-
bus and the St. Joseph's Society, of
which he was member, attended in a
body.
The many beautiful floral tributes
bore silent evidence to the high regard
in which he was held. Mr. GRADER
loved his home and family and was de-
voted to the state and church. He was
very charitable and it was JOY to him
to make others happy. In social and
church affairs his generous help could
always be relied upon.
Deceased was born in this city March
20, 1866. November 81, 1884 he was
united in marriage to Miss Katherine
Engels of this city. Mr. GRADER follow
ed farming and dealt in live stock but
for the last eighteen years he and fam
lily have lived in town.
Deceased leaves, his devoted wife, one
son Henry T. GRADER, and his daugh-
ters Mrs T. E. La Mondy. Mrs L. E.
Strasburg and Miss Lenore GRADER; be-
sides four brothers Louis, Thomas,
Joseph and Frederick GRADER and two
sisters Mrs George MARI and Mrs Mary
Mari. Interment was in St. Mary's
cemetery.

RED CROSS NOTES
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

The following letter explains itself:
The American National Red Cross,
Madison Chapter, Madison. Wis, June
20, 1918.
To the branches of Green and Iowa
counties: It is with both regret and
pleasure that the Madison Chapter of
the American Red Cross announces
that the counties of Green and Iowa
have now had given to them chapters
Of their own by the Central Division.
The separation is to take effect July l..
Monroe is the present chapter for Green
county and Dodgeville for Iowa county.
The work has grown so heavy and
bids fair to be still heavier, and such
splendid work has been accomplished
in both counties, that it seems only fair
to the central Division and to the Mad
ison Chapter to ask Iowa and Green
counties that they assist in bearing the
burden of responsibility that falls to
the management of chapter.
Mr. McMullen, Field Secretary of the
Central Division, came from Chicago
and has formally created chapters in
both counties. leaving Madison with
Dane only. In the future, the branches
in Iowa and Green counties will report
to their respective county chapters, re-
ceiving. their quotas and allotments
from them and sending in their finished
work to them. The relations between
the branches and the Madison Chapter
have been most pleasant, and it is with
deep regret that they are now severed.
Please be assured that we stand ready
to assist the two new chapters in every
way possible, and we bespeak for them
the same loyalty and service that you
have given us SO generously. When
ever your members come to Madison,
we shall be very glad to see them and
be of service. Very sincerely,
The EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE,
Madison Chapter A. r. @.

Kettle. Where the steam kettle is not

measure against the Influenza germs.
: For this purpose vapoRub is excellent.
