Purity Gives Power

There are still many persons in the
world that need to be impressed with
the fact that the purer the blood is
the greater is the power of the system
to remove disease and the less the liza
bility to contract it. Persons whose
.lood is in good condition are much
less likely to take cold or to be long
troubled with it, or to catch any con-
tagious or infectious disease, than are
those who blood is impure and there
fore impoverished and lacking in vital
ity. The best medicine for purifying
the blood is Hoods Sarsaparilla, and
persons suffering from any blood dis
ease or any want of tone in the system
are urged to give this medicine trial.
1t is especially useful at this time of
wear

Heaven"

Heaven"
Vernard Don Rounds was born in
Baraboo, Wis, August II, 1917, and
was called home on Wednesday morn
ing, May /, 1918.
A lovely flower from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filed.
Little Vernard was our darling,
Pride of all the hearts at home;
But the angels came and whispered:
'Vernard, comet"
God only calls when it is best,
Thy will, Oh! our Father, be done;
And we must trust Him for the rest,
Then He, with our Vernard, will
gather us home.
Sleeping in Jesus, Oh, how sweet
Till we can see with sinless eyes,
That Jesus works are all complete,
And abe with him in paradise.
Troubled now are our hearts and sad,
But all will be joy quite soon;
For we will be with thee, sweet Vern-
ard,
In that bright and beautiful home.
Card of Thanks
We wish to thank the neighbors and
friends for the beautiful floral offer
ings in our recent bereavement. He
leaves to mourn his loss father,
mother and sister.
