ATTENDS BROTHERS FUNERAL
T. j. Stafford returned Tuesday
from Muscatine where he attended
the funeral of his brother. The de-
ceased was veteran of the civil
war and served in a regiment with a
number of Audubon county veterans
many of whom will be interested In
the following obituary:
Edward J. Stafford was born at
Gainesville, Ohio, September 5th,
ust S, 1920, aged II years, IL
months.
He leaves to mourn their loss, his
faithful wife one daughter, Mrs.

He became a member Of the M. E.

try OF Rev. ]. c. Brown. He hon
ored his Christian profession with a
Cody life and passed away with
the full assurance Of life eternal.
He was a long time member Of the
| official board Of his church, serving
continually as secretary of the board
of STEWARDS until within few days
OF his death, when he declined re-
election on July 26th because of the
condition OF his health and on which
occasion the quarterly conference by
unanimous vote expressed to him
their Appreciation Of his long ana
! faithful service. Truly his death is
distinct loss to the front ranks Of
Israel.
The following account OF his fra
ternal life was written a number OF
years ago. 1.-The secret society
life of e. j. Stafford is very inter
esting. He being perhaps the old
est living Knight in Iowa. His life
as a Pythian Knight began in 1857
when the order was still in its in
fancy. He Joined the I. o. o. F. six
years later becoming a charter mem
Der OF Nichols Lodge No. 664. He
also passed successfully through
the Masonic fraternity. At his
death he was a member of Stainless
Lodge No. 445. He was also a
charter member OF the Bridgeman
Rebecca Lodge No. IA. He was al
so a member of the Shelby Norman
Post G. A. R. OF Muscatine having
served with distinction and honor
through the Civil war"
He has been a resident Of Musca-
tine county for over SO years and
| his life has been an exemplary one,
in that it was one OF. usefulness and
kindness. Always ready to extend
helping hand in time OF need or
sorrow and to do his part in promot-
ing the best interest of the town and
community. t.s1 .,i' lib -.
He was tireless worker and al
though he was an invalid for nearly
year yet he remained at his desk
as much as possible in caring for his
| business interests. .'- .-a 4
Funeral services we're held from
the M. e. church at Nichols, Sunday,

Maryland Chosen For
Model Health Work

For the reason that Baltimore is
a typical American City and that i'll
Maryland are found conditions that
are characteristic OF the majority
Of TIE States OF the Union, there is
being worked out in Maryland by
the state Board Of Health, with the
cooperation Of the Maryland Social
Hygiene Society," Il special piece OF
health work that IL already attract
ing more than Statewide attention.
This WORK is the development and
adapJiOn of 4 state program under
peaCe-time conditions for the con-
trol OF social disease and their
causatlve vices, which program is
based on the measures round emln-
emily effective during the war and
known as the American Plan.
The main reason for choosing
Maryland for this piece OF demon
stratiOn health work is because OF
her ability to furnish expert leader
ship for the task in the persons of
Dr. VIM. H. Welch, President Of the
State Board of Health and Director
TO the school of Hygiene and Public
Health, of Dr.. joan S. Fulton, State
Health officer, Dr.. {. HampSOn
Jones, City Commissioner of Health
of Baltimore, and DR.. Hugh H.
Young, who was one of the origina-
tors of the American Plan used in
the Army who is now President OF
the Maryland Social Hygiene 6ocie-
ty Other factors that were lnt1u-
entual in turning the benefits of this
experiment to Maryland are the
facts that Maryland is State OF
average size; it is neither typically
southern or Northern; il has both
white and colored population, and
has practically an equal urban and
rural population. To summarize, in
the City of Baltimore and the State OF
,Iaryland are found essentially all
the problems in health work that
are TO be met in the average city and
State of this country, and the pro
gram that is found to be successful
in MARYLAND will be adequate in its
essentials to other cities and States.
The agencies that are particularly
interested in the outcome OF the
MARYLAND work and are contributing
to its success are the American Soc
ial Hygiene Association, the U. S.
Public Health Service the lnterde-
partmental Social Hygiene Board of
the United States, the State Depart
ment of Health and the Maryland
Social Hygiene Society.
The program that is being success
fully adopted provides for the en-
forcement of State laws enacted for
the suppression of vice and disease,
the medical treatment of persons
who are infectious, the education OF
the public in matters pertaining to
Social Hygiene, and the stimulation
of reCreative agencies and other pro
tective measures necessary to pre-
vent crime and disease.

There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all other
diseases put together, and for years
it was supposed to be incurable.
Doctors prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Catarrh is local
disease, greatly Influenced by con-
stitutional conditions and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.

To the Editor:-About the year 4eo
B. c. Plato remarked that it is expert
enee that causes our life to move for
ward by the knowledge We acquire,
while want of experience subjects us
to the effects of change" A little be-
fore that, about the year 4so B. c. or
two thousand years ago, Sophocles re-
marked that there is no greater i'll
than anarchy; it destroys cities. lays
houses in ruins, and in the contest of
the spear, breaks the ranks; but disci-
pline saves those who obey command.
We have had some ten thousand
years experience with anarchy, but we
do not seem to have moved our lives
forward in handling it. The deporta-
ton of droves Of reds may have a
salutary effect on those left behind.
but it is more apt to make martyrs OF
them. And nothing is quite SO costly
to a government as martyrs.
1t might be worth trying TO cure
some of the things that make unrest
and before making any more loans to
foreign governments to build battle
ships and organize standing. armies
