In NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. MARKS s..

OIu
George Marks was born in Burling-
ton, Vermont, November IL, 1887. He
came west in 1869 and has been a res
ldent OF Lancaster since that date
with the exception of few months
residence in Clinton, Iowa.
After brief illness he peacefully
entered into rest October 27, 1918.
With the widow there survive four
children: Walter of Fernley, Nevada
George Jr., of Lancaster; Arthur. OF
Ripon, Wis, and Harriet at home. All
were present at the last services
which were conducted at his late home
IN the Bird ward, Rev Arhelger of
hciating. The pail bearers were old
friends and neighbors: Messrs. VIM
Bailey, Thos. lockwood, John Stone
clark Showalter, Parke Dudley and
George Gibbs. Interment was at
Hillside. Because of the prevalence
or epidemic in surrounding country,
ceremonies were brief. However. the
gathering of goodly number and the
rich prOfusiOn of beautiful floral Of
ferlngs was fitting testimony OF the
esteem in which Mr. Marks was held
He was man of infiexible integrity
laW-abiding citizen, an advocate al
ways of law and order, exact in all
his methods, yet very charitable in
his judgments, and very gentle and
kind in his demeanor to all. He had
malice toward none and charity for
ALL" He was not ostentatious but
was ever ready to oblige a neighbor
or extend the needful hand. The
premises about his home are silent
witnesses of his thrift and neatness.
There is a void most keenly felt by
the wife and daughter to whom he
was most indulgent. When called to
his last sleep a devoted husband and
rather passed away and city and
nelghDorhood lost a good man.
Less than "a week previous to his
demise Mr.. Marks was up town ap-
parently in his usual excellent health.
He carried his more than four score
years remarkably. He always had
for adult or child quiet, kindly
greeting. Venerable age sat lightly
on him. He retained his interest in
local as in national affairs and was
deeply interested in each days news
of the great war Was frequently
heard to express the hope that he
might live to see our victory. Alasi

like the scar and withered leaf, he
has drifted away. He will be missed.
THE fragrance Of kindly deed
VIII long remain
To bless the soul, as lingereth
The sweet refrain
Or some dear song, the singer gives
And may not know
The hearts his strains have com
fOrted.-
The cool winds blow
Across the desert wastes to bless
Mans toll and need:
And thus goes forth the fragrance
of
A kindly deed.

the decline of the husbands health
In 1893 the family removed to Ian

lowed to the world Beyond Nov. 9Th,

her good mothers. She was a woman
of most estimable character, in de-
Her
heart was in her home where center
ed all her ambitions. She cared no
thing for society and entertained no
thought of reaching heights of pop
ular favor. Satisfied in the round of
common duties-in the fulfilment of
ordinary routine, Loyalty, patiently,
cheerfully accepting each days OBJ
legations, she was like countless
thousands Of dear mothers-heroines
of the common life, of the faithful,
not famous.
Gods angels drop, like grains of
gold
Our duties midst life's shining
sands,
And from them, one by one, we
mold
Our own bright crown with pa
tient hands.
From dust and dross we gather
them;
We toll and stoop for loves sweet
sake,
To find each worthy act a gem
In glory's kingly diadem,
Which we may daily richer make %
Mrs. Duncan loved also her friends.
All who crossed the threshold of her
home felt the warmth and kindness
OF her nature. Her last years were
saddened by repeated illnesses which
made her a ''shut-in," but did not de-
tract from the gentle patience which
was characteristic of all her days.
In September she suffered a stroke
which left her speeches.. But the
mind was undimmed. When the sons
came home, though she could not
speak her welcome the sweet face
smiled the pleasure, the dear eyes
beamed the love that was benedic-
ton to her children.
1.-THE purest thing know in all
earths's holding
Is mothers love, her precious child
enfolding"
When death came it fell upon our
friend like a gentle sleep. 1t is
sweet release from long suffering
and pain. To all friends and neigh
bors whose kindnesses helped to
tighten the dull days for the mother,
to all who sympathized and assisted
In the time of bereavement, and for
the many beautiful flowers, the sons
and daughter are profoundly CRATE
full.

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so com
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad-
wise our readers who feel in need of such a
remedy to give it a trial. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DIR.
kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
