GII.DED ERA NOW

There was never a better, hap
pier and more interesting time to
live than now. This is the gilded
era. Those who think life is drah
and chat this is a backward period
should perish the thought. In dis
cussing life expectancy and the
present day, DR.. w A. Evans, the
Chicago health publicity writer, at
Madison recently said:
81 have had the privilege of liv-
ing in wonderful era, time of
great opportunity A time in
Which the span Of life Of man has
been increased from death at the
approximate age of 33, to the pres
ont when the average span of life
is about So years.
'Tn the old days, well within the
remembrance of many living to
day, the family unit was largely
broken up at an early age because
Of the high death rate and the re-
shifting low period of life.
"The first twenty years of our
life is n liability to our parents
and the state. The average show
that only after twenty do we be
come an asset. If the general av-
erago Of deaths came around the
33rd year of a mans life, the old
est child in the family would be
approximately Is years of age
when the support of the family
would be cut Off Homes for or
phan children were the recognized
needs Of that time.
To-day with the life of man
Increased from SO to SIS, when the
Head OF the family dies the oldest
child is IS years old. An increase
in the period of asset of a mans
life Of % years; all due to cooper
alton of the people, activities Of
health departments, and the great
work of the medical societies"

THE WOMAN PAYS

A young Richland Center wom-
an is given five years for killing
her baby born out of wedlock.
Undoubtedly a proper verdict but:
What about the man in the
Ease?
The old maxim that "the won
an pays may sound like a line
from Nellie, the Beautiful Cloak
ModeI' but it is a phrase that tells
truism of our modern social or
der. Probably the man has a
''social standing" that might be
injured if publicity We're given to
his part in the affair. Or perhaps
the argument was made that his
business might be ruined" if lie
were brought into the light of day
as the father of the child.
Meanwhile, Effie Radel will be
locked up for five years. The man
in the case VII enjoy his free
dom.
The woman DOES pay.-Capi-

Why He Succeeded

From hard work ON a farm to,
the study of medicine in Cincin-,
natl, where he was graduated in.
1862, was the course which DR.. n.
V. Pierce took.
In his younger days he practic
ed medicine over a large district
1t was then the new old fields near
Titusville, Pa, Finally he deter
mined TO put up some of his pres
criptions in ready-to-use form in
order to reach a larger number of
families.
He thus early moved to Buffalo,
n. Y, and established the Worlds
Dispensary, where he put up Drr
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
for the blood as well as the Favor
it's Prescription for women, care
fully preparing them from roots,
barks and herbs and placed them
with druggists everywhere.
During the last sixty years DR..
Pierce's Discovery, for the blood,
has been sold in larger quantities
by druggists all over the United
States than any other medicine. 1t
is tonic in it's effects on the stom-
ach and digestive apparatus; an
Alternative in it's action on the
blood, liver and skin. 1t increases
the appetite, stimulates the diges
ton, enriches the blood and makes
both men and women feel as they
did when they we're young and care
free Ea.i f.
Ask your nearest druggist for
Doctor Pierce's Discovery, in tab
let or liquid form, or send 10c for,

ONE OF A PIONEER FAMILY

Death is sad enough, Heaven
knows, whenever and~however it
comes When it takes one whose
life has been one of public service
in community, universal sorrow
is aroused.
The passing of Katherine Max
well Potter is an event of general
regret and sorrow to the people of
Barabco. Years ago when Bara-
hco's public library was in its in
fancy. Miss Potter was chosen as
the first regular librarian. Child
rem who came to her a quarter of
a century ago for books are faith
ers and mothers now and continue
to visit the library if they reside
in the city. In the hearts OF these
she has left an imprint of earnest
ness, cheerfulness and kindness
"a rich heritage. Being in library
work so many years brought her
into touch with almost every per-
son in the community. Not one of
these but feels a pang of sincere
Baraboo weekly news. [volume] (Baraboo, Wis.) 1912-197?, 1925-03-12
sorrow that She is gone.

SOIIOH LldG OlIC SoOICs
Miss Potter was particularly
fond of children entering into
I their simple joys with keen sym
pathy and understanding. Young
/ people as well as older ones were
drawn to her by the charm Of her
personality. She was the friend
of everyone. She lived to see the
Raraboo public library grow from
small collection of books housed
in the city hall to a creditable Ii
/ brary in q suitable home, and this
was a source of great satisfaction
to her.
In the social life of the city,
Miss Potter held an enviable
Mace. She was a member Of the
Kings Daughters and during the
Lime when the society was active
ly engaged in welfare work, was
zone Of the leading spirits. In var
ious social clubs she will be sadly
missed.
During the past six months that
Miss Potter has been fighting for
her life against the malady which
finally caused her death, relatives
and friends have sadly watched
the sands as they passed through
the glass of time. For weeks it
has been known that her days were
numbered and the sympathy of
the entire community has gone out
to the sufferer and her family.
Miss Potter was a member of
one Of the pioneer families Of
Baraboo and ALSO Of the state. Col
onel Maxwell, her great grand
father, was an early resident of
Walworth county and was promin-
ent in public affairs in the locality.
Her grandfather and father were
well known citizens of Baraboo
and her mother who passed away
few years ago was on honored
member of the community.
Sorrowing relatives and friends
paid their last tribute to the mem
DRY of an esteemed citizen on
Thursday afternoon when after a
simple service all that was mortal
of Miss Potter was removed from
her home and inferred in Walnut
Hill cemetery.
