The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1918-01-18

The community was greatly shocked
Monday morning to learn the news
coming over the telephone that John
Hurd had closed his earthly career.
But few Of his friends had known of
his illness and even these were not
aware of the seriousness of his condi-
tiOn He contracted severe cold a
couple weeks ago but had recovered
sufficiently to be in town one day last
week when it is thought the exposure
brought on a relapse which developed
into pneumonia that failed to yield to
treatment and he passed away at IL
o'clock Monday morning.
The deceased was the son of Silas
and Cynthia Hurd who were among the
very earliest settlers in the then terri
tory of Wisconsin and built their first
log cabin near Indian Ford where they
located their homestead. John Hurd
was born there July "a, 1852. On the
death of his father Mr.. Hurd received
the old homestead as his share of the
estate which has since been added to
until the farm contains more than 1900
acres, making it the largest single
holding of farming lands Of the county.
On September 6, 1887, Mr.. Hurd was
united in marriage to Miss Minnie Sc
bell, from which union were born three

Edgerton Loses to Madison.

The Edgerton high school basketball
team was defeated in it's first game of
the season Friday evening in the school
gymnasium by University high school
of Madison by score of 22 to r. The
game was fast throughout and from
the spectators point of view was a
good game to watch. Both teams
fought hard for victory but the Univer-

breaks of the game in the final period
when they ran up large score.

WHEN YOU WAKE
UP DRINK GLASS

Wash the polsons and toxins from
system before putting more
food Into stomach.

Wash yourself on the inside befor,
breakfast like you do on the outside
This is vastly more important because
the skin pores do not absorb impurities
into the blood, causing illness, while the
bowel pores do.
For every ounce of food and drink tax
en- into the stomach, nearly an ounce OF
waste material must be carried out of
the body. If this waste material is not
eliminated day by day, it quickly fer
ments and generates poisons, gases and
toxins, which are absorbed or sucked into
the blood stream, through the lymph
ducts, which should suck only nourish-
ment to sustain the body.
A splendid health measure is to drink,
before breakfast each day, glass of
real hot water with teaspoonful of
limestone phosphate in it, which is a
harmless way to wash these poisons,
gases and toxins from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels: thus cleansing,
sweetening and freshening the entire ali
mentary canal before putting more food
INTO the stomach.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
ohate costs but very little at the drug
store. but is sufficient to make anyone
IN enthusiast on inside bathing-Adv.

Report Many Cases
of Rheumatism Now
Says we must keep feet dry;
avoid exposure and eat
less meat.

1 Stay off the damp ground, avoid expos
lure, keep feet dry, eat less meat, drink
lots of water and above all take spoon
full of salts occasionally to keep down
uric acid
Rheumatism is caused by poisonous
| toxin, called uric acid, which is generated
| in the bowels and absorbed into the
blood. 1t is the function of the kidneys
to filter this acid from the blood and
cast it out in the urine. The pores of the
skin are also a means of freeing the
blood of this impurity. In damp and
chilly, cold weather. the skin pores are
closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do
double work; they become weak and
sluggish and fail to eliminate this uric
acid, which keeps accommodating and cir
culating through the system, eventually
settling in the joints and muscles. caus-
ing stiffness, soreness and pain called
rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism, get
from any pharmacy about four ounces of
Jad Salts; put tablespoonful in a glass
Of water ad drink before breakfast each
morning for a week This is said to
eliminate uric acid by stimulating the
kidney to normal action, thus Kidding the
blood of these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is
used with excellent results by thousands
of folks who are subject to rheumatism
Here YOU have a pleasant, effervescent
lithia water drink. which overcomes uric
acid and Is beneficial to your kidneys as

WHO ARE your DEMANDED
SAMMY.
black heels disappear. This made
Sammy moro anxious than ever for the
stranger to come out He wanted to
ask questions.
He must be = dreadful coward. %
thought Sammy. TIN afraid there
won't be any fight The sight of Johnny
Chuck woud scare him half to death" I
Just then the stranger popped his
quickly that Sammy had no more than
q glimpse Of 1t. But that glimpse was
enough to cause Sammy almost to for
get to hold on to the branch on which
very fast as II he thought he had some
thing in them
THAT fellow is the living image Of
Johnny Chucks' he gasped. He's a
twin! That's what he is-a twin.
don't believe Polly Chuck could tell
Johnny Chuck isn't scarey and this fel-
low is. I wouldn't for anything in the
world miss seeing Polly Chuck the first
time she lays eyes on this fellow, espe-
cially IL Johnny happens to be around
at the same time. l wonder If when he
comes wholly out he will look as much
like Johnny Chuck as he does in the
face. I wish he would hurry up about
it."
Hardly was the wish uttered when the
stranger seemed to be satisfied that 1t
was safe to come out and out he did
come and sat up on his doorstep
to stare very hard this way and stare
very hard that way and stare very hard
the other way that he might be sure
that all was safe. When. he did that
Sammy gave q funny little gasp. Not
only did this stranger look like Johnny
Chuck in every particular. even the
smallest, but he moved and acted just
like him. That is. he did in all but one
thing: Sammy never had seen Johnny
Chuck sc terribly timid. This fellow
actually ducked at the sound Of
Sammy's little gasp.

II Bnt often ole can say

Sammy Jay isn't the kind easily sur
prised. He is too used to surprising
other people to himself be caught very
often. But once in a while 1t happens
When he is surprised he usually is very
much surprised. And how he does dis
like to admit it! guess you've seen
people like that. 1t is the hardest thing
in the world for them to admit that
they haven't known all along just what
was going to happen.
Sammy Jays patience was pretty
nearly at an end when he thought he
saw something move way back in the
dark hall Of the new house dug in the
corner Of the old stone wall over by the
dusty road. Sammy kept perfectly still
and stared down from his perch in the
apple tree. Yes. something had moved
down there. He was sure of it. OF
course, 1t was the owner of the house,
and. of course. he would come out pres
emily.
1t seemed to impatient Sammy that
the stranger was the most timid fellow
he ever had seen. to Judge by the way
he kept lodging back. Something must
have given him a terrible fright, -
thought Sammy, and then tried to re-
member what there had been to frighten
any one about there. He couldn't re-
member a single thing to frighten any
one and he knew that he had come
along just as that stranger had dived
into his house. You remember he had
been just in time to see the strangers S
