THE DEATH OF FATHER HELLER: — Father Heller has been laid to rest in beautiful Maplewood cemetery Ail that tender hands and loving hearts could find to do tor his comfort dining the three weeks in which he suffered have been done and there remains only the memory of a life well spent in this community. His associates at the bar. his fellow jurists, his friends and neighbors have' spoli en their fare wells and have aided in lifting the heavy load of grief from those who loved him dearly ami

truly. For fifty years Judge Heller work ed in this community, serving those about him. striving always to be fair and just, thinking ever of others more than himself, solicitous almost to a fault .of his family, his friends, his community. He has walked through the path of life uprightly, fearlesly. carefully, and he leaves us the memory of that life, a legacy far greater than could be counted in gold or worldly riches. His long record is completed. He continued the practice of law up to the very day he was stricken three weeks ago and his fidelity to hi clients, his love for his family, his ■onstant. t*er-watchful guarding of them will always remain sacred with us. He was honest, upright and fair, a loving husband and father and hard as is the parting we derive much solace from the memory of his teach ings and the 1 example he gave us of how best to live and manfully to die The beautiful expressions, sincere as we believe them from those who have known him the longest, are accepted at we know they are meant coming from the hearts of those who expressed them, and we are deeply and everlastingly grateful for th>-

There is nothing more unreasonable than th • j coarse and brutal attack by telephone I directed against the young woman who sits enthroned in usefulness at the telephone exchange. Miss Central is the courteous and helpful go ,

between of business and social life. The world whirls about "Central a!s • a modern axis. The girl on the wire is entitled to the same respect and ■ credit for good work well done as is any other agent of commerce. The i world depends on the patience, alert i intelligence, dexterity and loyalty of Miss Central. Think what would happen to us all if the telephones of a sudden were to go out of commission, and if Miss Central should take it into her pretty head to quit work short oft. No. it is mighty poor business as well as beastly bad taste to swear at- Miss Central. We are glad the Duluth man got what was coming to him.

LAST SAD RITES (CONTINUED FltuM PAGE ONE) Hie members of the bar, and the People of Jay county in generaj. Judge Heller was distinctively de voted to the law, for more than forty rears no other vocation claimed anj part of ids time. It can truly be aid that as a presiding judge nature liud been kind to him. ax the judicial ermine fit him well; he was dignified to the extent that well became the position, but with it whs kindness; lieguarded his expressions while on the bench with the greatest of care and freed himself from either side of the controversy, and was as fair as it is within the power of man to be. When a question of fact was submitted to a jury for trial, his conduct was such that the litigant had the fact fully and ■.airly determined by that body. He was deliberate and his conclusions were reached not on the theory of chance or guess, but worked out from the basic principles of the law and equity in the light of the facts, in a careful, methodical and logical manner. Thus the parties had the benefit of the judgment of the court upon every matter that came before him. We hope that Judge Heller, in his lifetime, was aware of the high esteem in which he was held by the members of the bar of the Jay circuit court. We know of no higher thought that can come to a man in any walk of life than to be conscious of the fact, while living, that his life has been such that when he is removed by, death and mortality takes ■on immortality that he will be re- ‘ membered with kindness and affection by his surviving friends. It does not fall to the lot of every ' man in life to have extended to him Las wide a field of usefulness as that extended to the deceased. Human ity. however. Is fortunate when the field of usefulness is so enlarged that J men of this splendid type are called upon to occupy the same. Judge Heller's kindly bearing and his whole life as it passed before the people was such as to disclose a love for his fellow-man. and this he supplemented by an abiding faith that the grave is not the end of all. Let us strive to emulate his noble life to the end that the high profession of the law may be what it was intended.Nthat justice be done between man and mam Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family of the deceased, and may the same convey to them the high esteem in which we held the departed; and that a page of the order book of the Jay circuit court be dedicated for the purpose of recording our estimate of the life and character of Judge Daniel D. Heller as here - embodied; and to the end that the members of the bar of the Adams circuit court have before them the evidence of our appreciation of their deceased brother, we ask that the same lie recorded in an appropriate

As a fiver stimulator, it’s great. It’s a perfect substitute for ordinary calomel (mercury); in fact, it’s better, because its action is gentle instead of severe and irritating — ami it leaves no mean, disagreeable aftereffects. Physicians recognise this and prescribe may-apple root (podophyllin, uiey call it) daily. Combined with four other standard, all-vegetable remedies, mavapple root may now be had at most any druggiet'a in convenient sugarcoated tablet form by asking for Sentanel Laxatives.
