Rock Island, Ill On last Saturday morning at 9 o'clock at Moline hospital occurred the death of Miss Harriet Frances Golden, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas Golden of Rock Island. Harriet had been ailing for the past eleven months but had not been considered serious until a week ago last Saturday morning, when she was taken to the hospital prior to an operation, which proved unsuccessful and death relieved this beautiful young girl of her sufferings. Just a few years ago the family was left to mourn in the same manner, after one that had just reached the age of 18 years, and now another one follows at the same age. Harriet was a great favorite among both young and old people of the tricities. She was a member of the A. M. E. church and was also superintendent of the Sunday School at the time of her death. She was also great speaker and has won many high honors among both white and colored people for her fine declamations. The funeral sermon was held Monday afternoon from the A. M. E. church, Rev. S.

The common people fear above everything the hospital, says the Paris Ecolair. They are badly received and questions are put to them in a loud voice in the presence of patients, students and visitors. The modesty of women is not respected. The poor have the right to demand when they are under examination the observation of the elementary laws of modesty; they have also the right to demand of doctors professional secrecy. Salt-free Diet for Epileptics. The suppression of alimentary salt the diet of epileptics has a favorable effect on epileptic seizures, inasmuch as it reduces their frequency and their severity. It is of the same value in the treatment of epilepsy as the strict observance of dietician and hygienic rules. Both factors combined aid considerably in reducing and con- ducing the seizures.—N. Y. Medical Journal Why Be Pessimistic? Like an individual, a nation cannot expect to be healthy or happy which, so to speak, is forever feeling its own pulse and looking at its tongue in the glass.

A wise man in Dublin tells the London police how to deal with the riotous "suffragettes," who have been besieging the house of commons.

PROVE EVERY CLAIM Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a Specific For Anemia and a Safe Family Medicine. When the body becomes run dows either as a result of overwork, worry or a severe illness, an examination of the blood would show it to be weak and watery. This condition is called anemic, which is the medical term for "bloodless." The common symptoms are paleness of the lips, gums and cheeks, shortness of breath and palpitation of the heart after the slightest exertion, dull eyes and loss of appetite. Mr. Louis L. Clark, a painter, of 19 Lincoln Place, Plainfield, N. J., says "Last May I was obliged to undergo an operation for appendicitis and while the operation in itself was successful, I did not recover my strength and health. I was confined to my bed for over a month and was under the doctor's care. When I was able to perform my work I was unsteady that I could only walk with a cane with difficulty. "I was getting no better and could not think of going back to work. I was discouraged, when a neighbor told me that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had cured her and advised me to try them. I began taking them about the middle of June and soon felt so much better that I kept on and was cured. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured rheumatism, chlorosis, after effects of the grip and fevers, and, as the health of the nerves depends upon the purity of the blood, they are invaluable in neural surgery, debilitity, flossing, nausea and even locomotor ataxia and paralysis. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all drugstores or sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes $250, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co. Schenected, N. Y. Iowa State Bystander The North American Review discourses upon the improvement in American manners, declaring that though the change is not marked, it is of the gradual character that makes for permanence. The Review says: "It is not true, as declared in the form of mottoes upon the walls of a famous boys' school in England, that 'manners make the man', but they help, and much as we may despise them as a mere outer garment and superficial soul-covering, we cannot ignore the fact that they are still vital conditions of social intercourse, and afford much of the charm without which existence would be unendurable. Beautiful manners are as captivating as a beautiful face or hand or form, and, unlike these, may be acquired. To be born and bred well is a great blessing, but it is not necessary to chide Fortune, as Shakespeare did, for not having provided better for his life Than public means which public manners breed Savvity and gentleness cost only a little self-restraint and a little thought now and then, and yet they not only occasion much pleasure to others, but save ourselves much of the tumult and uginess and embroilment of life. Lucky, indeed, is that deservedly popular woman, American born and English bred, who once said to us, 'I am always polite because it is so much trouble to be rude.' After all, we cannot be very much better than our manners, any more than our clothes can surpass our taste, but it may be that goodness can be developed in the inner consciousness by outer conditions. At any rate, we know one woman who smiles continuously because she firmly believes that, if she persistently wears the expression of harmony, the inner mood will respond. We are unable to perceive a very considerable change as yet, and we must admit frankly that we could not endure for long an unyielding smile; and yet we have no doubt that considerate manners would in time tend to the development of a suavity and gentleness of which some of us still stand somewhat in need." Revival In Mural Painting In our revival of mural painting we have had much to learn. The larger number of our painters were not otherwise equipped for the work than by the possession of technical ability to draw and paint the human figure on the scale of life or larger, and all the other manifold conditions of executing an acceptable decoration they were obliged to acquire. Small wonder is it, therefore, remarks Will H. Low in Scribner's Magazine, that in these few years the expressional quality of our painters' work should have suffered in their effort to meet these new technical conditions. Nor has the fault been entirely that of the painters, for all others concerned, the architects and building committees, have shown equal indifference, and in none of the public buildings thus far decorated has there been drawn up a definite scheme of themes to be treated, nor any allotment made of their various parts to different artists. In some cases the painters have organized themselves into a semblance of a committee, but if a definite project has ever been devised it has never been carried out to the avoidance of repetition of subject, within the building, or, as in one case, on the walls of the same room. Only Millionaires Wanted Unfortunately, under present conditions the highest appointments in our diplomatic service are of necessity almost restricted to millionaires, simply because men of moderate means cannot afford to accept them. It is a fact well known, says Rene Bache in Lippincott's, that John C. New refused the English mission a few years ago, on the ground that it would ruin him financially, accepting instead the place of consul general in London, which paid him $35,000 a year, with no incidental obligation to entertain expensively. To show honor to Alice Roosevelt Longworth and her husband a few months ago, Whitelaw Reid spent a sum equal to his salary for a twelfmonth ($17,500) on festivities covering two days. It was an exceptional case, of course, but even the ordinary social demands upon an ambassador make a frightful drain upon his purse. That New York woman who confessed that she lived partly on the sum of money allowed her by her husband and partly by borrowing from her friends was unique only in the respect that she was frank enough to admit the truth. It is cabled over that the Berlin newspapers actually bulleted the election returns and got out extras on the night of the election. Germany is gradually getting Americanized. Official recognition has been given to two sailor pipers at Portsmouth (Eng.) naval barracks. They are Scotsmen, and on enlisting they brought their pipes with them. They have now been fitted out in kilts of the Royal Stuart tartan, tunics of the orthodox Scotch cut, and Glengarry caps with cockades. As America imported some $42- 600,000 worth of diamonds last year, property seems to have reached the market stakes.

First In War, First In Peace and First In the Hearts of His Countrymen. First in War, First in Peace and First THE SPIR THE SPIRIT OF '76 BY W. J. M. KIT TRICK N our near approach to the anniversary of Washington's birthday it behooves us all to be very grateful to God and the revolutionary fathers for the nation which they gave to us. Away with the man who does not love his country. It has its faults. builders. Every time we cast a ball lot for an unclean office-seeker we are committing an outrage upon the future. Patriotism can never be selfish. I can never be bound up and rope round in its own pleasures and comforts. It can never stand still, lookin' backwards. It is no better than the best man who lives in it, and the best man who lives in it is separated by a long distance from the angels of heaven. The writings and orations that would put us beyond criticism explode against some very hard facts and let out upon the air a great deal of silliness. Our politics are not so absolutely pure that a searah's wing could graze them without contamination. Our ideals of greatness and glory are closer to the ground than they ought to be. Our reverence for the sacredness of law that should be as firmly fixed, in our national conscience as Pike's Peak is firmly fixed in the soil of Colorado, is not beyond the cavil and complaint of those who study the foundations of our institutions. But of one thing we are persuaded, and that is that the virtues of our country over-balance its faults. There are more angels than devils among us. The devils are making the most noise, but the angels are doing the most work. The man who believes that righteousness is losing its grip upon this nation is a woefully mistaken man. I heard a speaker the other day who proclaimed that we are falling from bad to worse and from worse to worst. We do not believe him. We believe that we are rising from good to better, and from better to best. One of the chief roots of our patriotism is gratitude, the realization of an immense debt to those who battled about the cradle of our national existence and won our freedom and independence at the points of their swords. Here we are because the men of '76 put us here. Here we stay because the spirit of '76 has kept us here. Stormy Atlantic, mild Pacific, sleeping lakes, waving forests, tree-crowded mountains, gold mine and silver mine, storms out of whose tempest-driven hearts have fluttered the white-feathered birds of peace, fiery baptisms through whose flames have crept forth the evangels, gave everlasting covenant. When we think of these things, when we stand upon the mount of vision, and the splendor of our country breaks upon our eyes, when the song of the reapers comes up to us, when we hear the hum of industry thrilling along the ground, when we see the gleaming rivers curving and winding like silver threads through vast gardens, what account of ourselves shall we give to ourselves if we take not the cup of praise and thanksgiving in our hands and pour it out to the heroes whose patience, faith and courage ushered in the dawn of our splendid prosperity? They were fighting for the future, for the country that was coming. So are we fighting for the future—for the country that is coming. As we look into the faces of our little children we cannot feel that for us the battle is ended. We have won a country for ourselves. But we must win a country for them. And love of country and love of children run together with the ambition to win a better country for them. Home and patriotism are linked together. The children will help to make the nation. But the nation will help to make the children. That little dimpled cheek will not allow you to take off your uniform for a single day. You must build his home. You must fight for his inheritance. You must put your life into the moving and marching forces of righteousness that are trying to win victories for him. The next generation will live in the country which this generation is making for it. And each one of us is helping to make it. All of us are nation. ```markdown ``` I We do not believe him RIT OF'76 BY W.J.M.KITTRICK builders. Every time we cast a ballot for an unclean office-seeker we are committing an outrage upon the future. Patriotism can never be selfish. It can never be bound up and roped round in its own pleasures and comforts. It can never stand still, looking backwards. It can never content itself with making a noise. In Washington's farewell address we see the prayers of a great soul embracing a nation's posterity. The pen that wrote the emancipation proclamation was tracing on the paper a heart's desire for a long procession of centuries. And out of this love of country and its guardianship of our children will come the patriotism of service. The Roman soldier cried out "it is beautiful to die for one's country." Our country does not want anybody to die for it now, but it does want all the multitudes of its people to live for it, to do their big best or their little best to serve its highest and noblest intents, and pass it along to the future cleansed, purified, sweet to the heart and sound to the core. Soldier and statesman, rarest unison; High-poised example of great dukes done Simply as breathing, a world's honors worn As life's indifferent gifts to all men born; Dumb for himself, unless it were to God, But for his barefoot soldiers eloquent, Tramping the snow to coral where they trod, Held by his awe in hollow-eyed content; Modest, yet firm as Nature's self; un- blamed Not honored then or now because he wooed The popular voice, but that he still withstood; Broad-minded, higher-souled, there is but one Who was all this, and ours, and all men's,-Washington. An Interesting Experience He Had When a Small Boy. As a small boy, George Washington was fond of following his father on his daily tour of inspection over his estate. In fact, so great an interest did the boy manifest in the tilling of the soil that his father determined the tendency should be fostered. With this object in view, Mr. Washington appeared bright and early one morning with a bag full of a mysterious something. George's curiosity was at once aroused, but his father insisted upon his accompanying him. Armed with trowels, they went merilly away. The mystery proved to be a bag of seed. Mra. Washington took his cane and began making letters in the soil, instructing George to sprinkle the seed along the lines marked out. When the work was completed, the pair returned home. Every morning George went to the place to see how things progressed. At last his patience was rewarded by seeing one little blade, then another, appear, until one day the boy, all excitement, ran in to his father, crying: "It spells me! The flowers have come up 'George Washington!'" Washington's Wealth. Whether Washington can be put into the envied category of millionaires no one can assert positively. According to the late Paul Leclercst Ford whose work, "The True George Washington," has received wide recognition, "the father of his country" was worth $530,000. This fortune did not include his wife's property, but nevertheless it made him one of the wealthiest Americans of his time. Her part of the Custis property equaled "15,500 acres of land, a good part of it adjoining the city of Wilkinsburg. WASHINGTON. The revelations regarding fraudulent paint materials which have been made by the Agricultural Experiment Station of Fargo, N. D., and published by Prof. E. F. Ladd, state commissioner, have occasioned almost as much of a sensation as the exposure of adulteration in food products did when the latter first began to appear. It has been shown that kegs marked "Pure White Lead" often contain other substances such as chalk, barytes, silica, etc., and that oil supposed to be linseed often contains petroleum adulterants, to say nothing of water in large proportions. Sometimes, so-called "White Leads" contain not anota of genuine White Lead. The farmer is a large user of paint. No one is more interested than he is, that the label should enable him to get what he supposes he is paying for. There should be a law in every state requiring that all paint packages be labeled exactly according to their contents. That would enable every painter to buy intelligently. Film Record for Last Year. Fire Record for Last Year The fact that when a servant becomes master a cruel foe is suddenly developed is attested by the dreadful havoc and loss of life occasioned by fire in the United States within the 12 months covered by a summing up of these losses for 1906. This record shows that nearly 7,000 lives were lost and more than $500,000,000 worth of property was destroyed by fire during that period. In no other country in the world is the fire loss, in bulk or pro rata, anywhere near our own. Last year, owing to the devastating fire that followed the earthquake in San Francisco, this loss was in great access of the average, but the average for some years past has been $200,300,000 a year. The "Thunderer." Judge Renton's reference on the bench to the Times as the "Thunderer" reminds us how remarkably this nickname has persisted. The Morning Post is no longer "James;" the Standard has not been "Mrs. Gamp" since the decease of the Morning Herald—the "Mrs. Harris" to whom it would allude as an independent authority, and the two represented the same proprietor. But the Times is still the "Thunderer." It owes that name to Captain Edward Sterling, who is said to have begun a Times article with the words: "We thundered forth the other day an article on the subject of social and political reform"—London Chronicle.

John A. Salzer Seed Co., Box W, La Crossse, Wis. Proper Method of Walking. Proper method of learning to derive any real benefit from walking, the step must be light and elastic; swing the body so easily from one leg to the other that its weight is not felt. The harmonious play of the muscles imparts a supple grace and liveness that is felt mentally as well as physically, and produces a healthy glow, showing that the sluggish blood is stirred to action in the most remote veins. This manner of walking, as may be imagined, strengthens the whole body, giving tone to the nerves and producing just the sort of healthful fatigue which encourages sound rest and beautiful slumber. 1847-1907. 60 years ago Allcock's Plasters were first introduced to the public. They are to-day the world's standard plasters. This invention has been one of the greatest blessings imaginable and affords the quickest, cheapest and best means ever discovered for healing and relief of certain ailments. Allcock's are the original and genuine porous plasters and are sold by Druggists all over the world. In Eagle Eyes: "Where's the bahbah?" asked the soft young chap from the east. "I'm the barber, sonny," drawled the big man in the wide hat and red shirt. "And do you know how to clip hah?" "I should say so. Just stand about ten spaces, and if I can't clip off every lock in 12 shots, I'll set up the licker."—Chicago Dally News. The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great importance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new.

How sensitive deer are in the matter of food was proved once again during the hearing of a case at Feltham, England, where three men were charged with sleeping in a deer pen in Bushey park. A keeper said they had pulled down from the racks about ten shillings' worth of hay, which the deer would not afterward touch because it had been lain upon. In fact, the deer would not go near the pens, as the men had slept there. Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, one much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty. Home laundering would be equally satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods.
