She was the daughter of Jeremiah Swigart and Mary Neifard Swigart. Her parents, one brother, Jerry Swigart, the husband of her youth, Lewis Welch, together with fivq children, have passed into that great realm beyond the vale of tears. Mrs. Harmon was married to Lewis Welch in 1869. To this union four children were born. In the year 1877 her husband died, leaving her with the little ones, all of whom are now deceased, except John Peremiah Welch. In the year 1880 she was united in marriage to Joshua A. Harmon. The fruits of this marriage were three children: Infant Harmon, deceased; Doy Harmon, aged four, also deceased, and Mrs. Oeie King, at home. Mrs. Harmon was converted while yet a young woman. She was baptized in Gosh! How my back achesF _ After influenza or colds the kidneys and bladder are often affected—called “nc phritis,” or inflammation of the kidneys. This is the red-flag of danger —better be wise and check the further inroads of kidney disease by obtaining that wonderful new discovery of Dr. Pierce’s known as “Anuric” (anti-uric), because “Anuric” expels the uric acid poison from the body and cures those pains, such as backache, rheumatism in muscles and joints. Naturally when the kidneys are deranged the blood is filled with poisonous waste matter, which settles in the feet, ankles and wrists; or under the eyes in bag-like formations. Dr. Pierce’s Anuric is many times more potent 'than lithia and often eliminates uric acid as hot tea melts sugar. Goshen, Indiana.— "For many years I have been a great sufferer with kidney trouble and rheumatic pains through my hips, esteadlng down into my knees. At times I would be so stiff I could not get up or down. I had scalding urine; it would be very dark colored, and there would always be a sediment in it. I also had difficulty in voiding, only a little at a time, and then only with great pain. I have taken many remedies with little or no relief. Quite recently I learned of ‘Anuric’ and began taking it. I have hardly taken one bottle but I am much improved. I have no scalding, excretion comes with case and comfort and the color is perfectly normal. I am feeling much better in every way than I have for some time past. lam Hire I have found the right medicine tn ‘Aaurt-.’ IFm. ' ms AW* St* ■

The members of her parental family who . survive her are two sisters, Mrs Polly Gaunt and Mrs. Mahala Traster Plaice, both of Bobo, Ind. Also five brothers survive, namely: Samuel Swigart, Oil City, Kans.; James Swigart, Decatur, Ind.; William Swygart, Bobo, Ind.; Frank Swigart, Lima, O.; Ezley Swigart, Bryant, Ind. The husband, a son and daughter are left to mourn their loss. Mrs. Harmon had eight grandchildren. She had been | in poor health many years, but attained the age of 64 years, 11 months and 18 days. Aunt Lizzie, as she was , familiarly called, will be missed by numerous nephews and nieces, together by her many friends and , neighbors. Although she will be greatly missed, we must be submissive to the will of Him who doeth all things well.—-Contributed. I I o ' THE FARMERS’ OPPORTUNITY i > If the farmers of Adams county ; have not given any attention to the government plan of loaning money, it will be interesting for them to Int vestigate. The First Joint Stock Land Bank of Fort Wayne, Indiana, 3 is organized under the government t plan to loan money on farms. This government plan is the best plan ever t offered to the borrower in our opinj ion. A farmer may borrow money up to 50 % of the value of his land, not r counting the improvements, and 20 . % additional of the value of the inF surable value of his improvements. The loan is made upon the “amortit zation” plan which means that the , indebtedness may be paid off by In- ] stallment payments of a fixed amount, s which includes interest and a part of the principal, throughout a period of " years. As an example, if a loan of ‘ $5,000.00 is made, it would cost the borrower $350.00 a year (both interest and principal) for thirty years, no ’ more no less. A privilege is given

the borrower to pay part or all of the loan after five years, any payment cutting down his annual payment. The loan never falls due at once. The farmer does not tie up his land for 33 years as he has privilege of paying oc before. It is a fine way for a farmer to take care of his indebtedness.

THIS AGED^ WOMAN Was Made Strong by a Simple Remedy The following letter from Mrs. Wells adds another link to the great chain of evidence which proves that there is nothing equal to Vinol to create strength for feeble, weak, run WEAKNESS REMAINS LONG AFTER Influenza Reports Show That Strength, Energy and Ambition Return Very Slowly to Grippe Patients. After an attack of influenza, doctors advise that nature be assisted in its building-up piocess by the use of a good tonic —one that will not only put strength and endurance into the body, but will also help to build up and strengthen tho run-down cells of the brain. One of the most highly recommended remedies to put energy into both body and brain is Bio-feren —your physician knows the formula—it is printed below. There’s iron in Bio-feren—tho kind of iron that makes red blood corpuscles and creates vigor. Thero Is lecithin also; probably tho best brain invigorator known to science. Then there is good old reliable gentian, that brings back your lagging appetite. There are other ingredients that help to promote good health, as you can see by reading this formula, not forgetting kolo. that great agent that puts the power of endurance into weak people. Taken altogether Bio-feren is a splendid active tonic that will greatly help any weak, run-down person to regain normal strength, energy, ambition and endurance. Bio-feren is sold by all reliable druggists and is inexpensive. For weakness after influenza patients are advised to take two tablets after each meal and one at bed time — seven a day, until health, strength and vigor are fully restored. It will not fail to help you and if for any reason you are dissatisfied with results your druggist is authorized to return your money upon reqnest-r-w!thoiit any red tape of any kind. Note to physicians: There is no secret about the formula of Bioferen, ft is printed on every pn<!.--age Here it is: Lecithin: Calcium Olycero-phoaphate; Iron Peptonatc, Manganese Peptonate: Ext. Nu:>. Vomica: Powdered Gentian; Phenolphthalein; Olearsln Capsicum-. * -
