An easier way is to get the readv-to-use preparation Improved by the addition of other ingredients a large bottle, at little cost, at drug stores, known as ‘Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur ‘Compound,” thus avoiding a lot of muss. While gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractiveness.

After another application or two your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant and you appear years younger.

DR. J. S. COVERDALE HAS UNIQUE RECORD Dean Os Physicians In Adams County Has Practiced For Fifty Years, Has Been Member Os Masonic Ixtdge For Fifty Years, And Has Been Married For Fifty Years.

Few men and women are priviledged to live happily together for fifty years and occasions of celebrating one’s fifthieth wedding miniversaiy are always happy ones, but Dr. J. S. Coverdale, of this city, dean of the physicians in Adams county, not only observed his golden wedding anniversary with hfs faithful and beloved wife at their home on Third street on Sunday, May 20th, but within recent months has also completed Ills fifthieth year as a practicing physician ami a member of the Masonic lodge. Dr. Coverdale, except for suffering from asthma, which has troubled him for a number of years, is hale and hearty and is seldom too ill to answer a sick call and aid the suffering. Daily he walks to and from his office and if the call is not urgent, will walk to see his patients in this city. He is a faithful and devout friend of mankind. Mrs. Coverdale is also enjoying fairly good health, sufficient to permit her to accompany her son, Mr. Clark Coverdale to Nashyille, Tenn., after the later came to help celebrate his parent’s golden wedding anniversary. They left for the south this morning. Is 74 Years Old Dr. Coverdale celebrated his 74tb birthday on last February 23. He was born in Muskingum county, Ohio, near Zanesville, on February 23, 1819, a son of Dr. L. N. and Mary Ann (Shaver) Coverdale and was one of eleven children, three of whom besides Dr. Coverdale are living, they being. Mrs. T. F. Autem, of Fort Wayno; Mrs. M. E. Clark and Miss Catherine Coverdale. of Washington township, this county. When he was four and onehalf years old his parents moved to Allen county, near where the Nine Mile House is located. Later they moved to Middletown, Ohio. When Dr. Coverdale was eight or ten years old, his parents came to Adams county, settling at Monmouth, where his father, who saw' fifty years of service as a physician, practiced until his death, which occured on June 26th. 1889. His mother died on April 5, 1887. Has Practiced 50 Years In 1869 and 1870, Dr. Coverdale attended the Miami Medical College ai Cincinnati, but was forced to give up his studies there in the fail on account of sickness. He remained at home and received an excellent training and obtained much of his medical knowledge from his father assisting him in his practice and thus gained much experience, valuable to him in his profession. He intended to return to Miami College as soon as his health permitted, but about that time his father took sick and in order not to be tar from home, entered the Fort Wayne Medical college, receiving his M. D. degree from that institution in the spring of 1881. He begain to practice medicine at Monmouth in November, 1872 and in November, 1875 moved to Decatur, opened his office in what was known as the "old wooden row”, near where the Joseph and Lang business is now located, he renting an upstairs room from a Jonathan Houston for $4.00 per month. Before coming to Decatur he was married to Miss Catherine E. Patterson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Patterson, their wedding taking place at the old Patterson home halfway between here and Monmouth, the ceremony being performed on May 20th, 1873. Rev. Dalbreath, a Methodist minister, performed the ceremony Mrs. Coverdale.is sixty-nine years old. Mr. and Mrs. Coverdale were blessed with three children, one of whom, Mrs May Coverdale Christian, wife of John Christian, is deceased. Two sons. Dr. E. G. Coverdale, who is associated with his father in the practice of medicine and surgery, and Mr. Clark Coverdale, of Nashville, Tenn., are living, the latter being the eldest son and child. The present partnership w’th his son. Dr. E. G. Coverdale was formed in 1902 when the latter; graduated from Medical college. Was a Charter Mason Few lodges in the city have among its membership a man who has been a member for fifty years. Dr. Coverdale was one of the sixteen charter Masons who organized Decatur Lodge No. 254 on January 7, 1873. he and B. W. Sholty, also of this city being the only two living charter members. Dr. Coverdale took an active interest in I lodge circles and has been honored with the, different offices in Masonry, holding the office of Master for six years and served as the first Master when the present lodge was organized, under the name of Decatur Lodge, number 571, the old charter having expired, making it necessary for tile lodge to re-incorporate and obtain a hew charter. He is a member of the Shrine and Fort Wayne Scottish

Rite. Politically, Dr. Coverdale never aspired tp office, but he was appointed the secretary of the County Board of health when that organisation was founded a number of years ago. Has Seen Country Grow Dr. Coverdalo has semi Decatur and Adams county grow from u miserable woods and swamp to the present progressive community. When he located here the county did not have n singfe Improved road, ditch or other improvement found now-a-days. Decatur was a mere village with a few wooden buildings on Second street Land values were practically nothing. Every improvement such as macadam and concret roads, schools, homes, buildings, ditches ami drainage systems have been made since Coverdale came here. Coal oil and candles were used for light, automobiles and even rubber tired buggies were unknown during those pioneer days. The country was wild ami thinly settled and wild £ame was in abundance. A few trails were all that marked the directions over the county. Buggies could not get over the roads in spring oof the year and Dr. Coverdale on many occasions answered a sick call to the country on horseback. Malaria Main Disease Operations were practically tin known and very rare, stated Dr. Coverdale today. The knife was seldom used. "Did the people have appendicitis in those days?” Dr. Coverdale was asked. He responded, “Yes, but it was known by another name, commonly called inflamation of the bowels. No doubt many people died during the early days of settlement of our country, because of the lack of surgery," Dr. Coverdale continued. "What was the principal disease at that time," he was asked, and Dr. Coverdale, without hesitation responded, "malaria and lots of it. Nearly everybody had it, Ague and some typhoid malaria were common.” The swamps and poor drainage brought about the conditions which caused this disease. Saw the Physicians Come Dr. Coverdale recalled the names of five other physicians who were here at the time he came to Decatur, namely. Dr. Gelleff, Dr. Trout, Dr. W. H. Shrock, Dr. E. C. Ballard and Dr. Curtis, all of whom are deceased. Os the physicians now in the city, Dr. Coverdale is the eldest in years and also in the point service. Those who are practicing here now came since Dr. Coverdale located here in 1875. y Many More Years Dr. Coverdale is known throughout the couny and his many friends con gratulate him on his fifthieth wedding anniversary and wish him many more happy and useful years. —o - — 1,040 Washings Per Year Evansville, June s—Mrs.5 —Mrs. Mary Johnson believes in turning out wash ings on a large scale.
