CALLED SUDDENLY Venerable Richmond Pioneer Passes Away Whije Seated in a Chair. Thomas George Thompson passed away yesterday while sitting in a chair at the home of his daughter, Mrs. JLayton Myrlek. Mr. Thompson was born in Staunton, Virginia, Aug. 26, 1831, and came to Wayne County when he was Are years old. The greater part of his seventy-live years of residence in this country had been spent In Richmond. A severe cold and bronchial trouble bad kept Mr. Thompson home from his office for about ten days, but during that time he had not been confined to bis bed. However, he bad grown weaker each day and his heart failure is attributed to his extremely feeble condition, Mr. Thompson survived his wife by one month to the very day. Tbe death of both parents within such a short time is quite a shock to the children, F. M. Thompson of Sedalia, Mo., W. H. Thompson of Warsaw, Ind , and Mrs. Layton Myrick of this city. The funeral will be held at tbe First Presbyterian church Thursday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock. Friends may call at the home, 400 North Eleventh street, Wednesday afternoon and evening. The casket will be opened at the church. Sickly school children, exposed to all forms of germ diseases by confinement In poorly ventilated rooms, improper hygiene cannot be kept too well fortified against disease, Impure air and' exposure makes them more prone to disease; give them regularly, a simple, pleasant regulator, Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea.

Writing from the vicinity David Harum made famous, a man says that he waa an habitual coffee drinker, and, although he knew It waa-doing him harm, (Tea is equally harmful, because It contains caffeine the saroo drug found In coffee) was too obstinate to give It up, till all at once he went to pieces with nervousness and Insomnia, loss of appetite, weakness, and a generally used-up feeling, which practically unfitted him for his arduous occupation, and kept him on a couch at home when his duty did not call him out "While In this condition GrapeNuts food was suggested to me and I began to use It. Although it was In the middle of winter and the thermometer was often below sero, almost my entire living for about six weeks of severe exposure was on Grape-Nnts food with a little bread and butter and a cup of hot water, till I was wise enough to make Posturn my table beverage. "After the first two weeks I began to feel better and during the whole winter I never lost a trip on my mail rotate, frequently being on the road 7 or 8 hours at a time. "The constant marvel to me was how a person could do the amount of work and endure the fatigue and hardship as I did, on so small an amount ot food. But I found my new rations so perfectly satisfactory that 1 have continued them using both Postum and Grape-Nuts at every meal, and often they comprise' my entire meal. "All my nervousness, irritability and insomnia have disappeared . and healthy, natural sleep has come back to me. But what has been perhaps the greatest surprise to me Is the fact that with the benefit to my general health has come a remarkable improvement In my eye-sight. "If a good appetite, good digestion, good eye-sight, strong nerves and an active brain are to be desired, I can say from my own experience, use Grape-Nuts and Postum.

REBUKED AN EMPEROR. Qluek Didn't Like the Way Joseph II. Sang His Music. Gluck, tbe composer, was not of tbe sort of men of whom courtiers are made. One day be attended at tbe court at Vienna a concert at which tbe Emperor Joseph II. and one of bis nrcbdukes sang a fragment from oue of Gluck's compositions. Naturally enougb, tbe imperial artists glanced at the composer to see bow lie was impressed by tbe bonor tbey were doing him. Tbey were shocked to observe that be was making a series of extraordinary and significant grimaces. The emperor stopped and inquired whether he and the archduke were not singing the bit accordiug to Gluck's Idea of bow it should be done. "My idea!" exclaimed Gluck. "Why, aire, I am tbe poorest walker in tbe world, but I would .vastly rather take a walk of six leagues than be forced to bear a composition of my own interpreted in such a way as that." Joseph II. was brave enough to take no notice of tbe criticism, but tbe court was quite convinced that if sucb a reproach bad been addressed to the Cr.ar Nicholas tbe composer would have prosecuted bis musical studies from that time forth under the unfavorable surroundings of tbe Siberian mines. It was the composer Weigl. a man of very different temperament from Gluck. who when tbe Emperor Francis Joseph played the first violin in the performance of one of bis overtures threw himself at the monarch's feet and exclaimed. "Ah, sire, will your majesty benignantly condescend to grant my prayer and favor me once more with a most gracious F sharp?" New York Press. GUARDING A SECRET. The Number of Persons Who May Share It With Safety. In tbe realm of the multiplication table, where, for example, two and two can be relied on to make exactly four,, reckoning Is easy, but when you leave tbe field of abstract numbers and deal with persons strange results sometimes appear. Sucb a case is described in Lady Dorothy NeviU's book, "Under Five Reigns." With regard to the number of persons who may safely be trusted with a secret, there Is no proverbial authority for believing It to exceed two. We are told in several languages that "the secret of two is God's secret, the secret of three is all the world's," and tbe Spaniards say. "What three know all tbe world knows." A gentleman who had gained possession of a valuable commercial secret confided it to a friend who appreciaated its value. A short time 'afterward this friend came to ask permission to communicate it. under oath of eternal secrecy, to a friend of his who would be likely to assist in utilizing the secret to the best advantage. "Let me see." said the original possessor of the secret, making a chalk mark on a board at band. "I know tbe particulars. That makes one." "One," agreed his friend. "You know them," continued he, making another mark by .the side of tbe one already made. "That makes" "Twor cried tbe other. "Well, and if you tell your friend, that will be"-maklng a third, mark. Three." said the other. No," was tbe reply-"lll." Life. The First Society of Authors. A society for the protection of authors was founded as long ago as 1735. Authors themselves were not members of tbe society, which was instituted for tbeir benefit by noblemen and gentlemen, who subscribed 2 guineas annually in addition to an entrance fee of 10 guineas. Tbeir purpose, as defined by themselves, was "to assist authors in the publication and to secure to them tbe entire profits of tbeir own works" that is to say, they published books, but took no fees for doing so. They were amateurs, however, engaged in trade in competition witb professionals, and tbeir enterprise was unsuccessful. The society was wound up in 1749. and the balance in band (20 12s.) was presented to tbe Foundling hospital. London Author. Fled From Death. We questioned the applicant for a position as laundress.

PLEASE, MR, WEATHERMAN, SEIIO SPRING

Y ISAAC L, TOTTEN. - The severity of the present winter ought to be a sufficient silencer for father and grandfather who are always harking back to the days of their youth and saying: "We don't have the hard winters anymore like we had them when I was a boy." If the winters were any more severe when dad was studying his three R's, we. surely thank pur lucky stars tnat our existence was delayed until the reign of William Howard, tbe Disappointment. Dad tells us that when be waa a boy people were not avaricious as tbey are now when the almighty dollar is tbe chief desideratum. They used to heap the measure, so be says1. Well, maybe they did heap tbe measure more than they do now; but it looks to us as though tbe weather roan was heaping it a little co much. We would be willing to take a little short measure in our share of the cold weather, and say, "Enough is enough. We want only what we call for no heaped measure for us." It is a safe bet that all of us city folks and country folks would welcome a shifting of the scene to that of "Glorious Spring." The city man says that his coal bills have soared so high during the present winter that he will have to file bankruptcy proceedings before he can provide an Easter chapeau for his suffragette. He is filled with rage and coal dust, and expressed his opinion of the contractor who installed his heating plant in terms quite profane. He never knew before what a poor heating system he had. The heating system of his house has not been the only source of his troubles: Water pipes have frozen, and the plumber has been almost as frequent a caller as the milk man. And, oh ye dogs and little fishes or words more in keeping with one's feelings when it was necessary to dig down in the solid cement earth to thaw out the water pipes. It took two men two days and a half to dig a trench five feet long and eighteen inches wide and four feet deep; but they charged enough for the work to make up for tbe bard job. The bill read $27.95; but it was not itemized. The first person we meet in the morning and the last person we see before we take a lesfp frog hop to the blankets, says something about the severity of the weather. Ordinarily the subject is considered a joke, but the cold has so thoroughly impressed its presence on us that we can talk of nothing else. The present winter's fury and severity is a topic that crowds every other subject into the background. Presidential possibilities have no interest for us at all; its so bloomin' cold most of tbe time that the subject of politics has no more warming effect than tbe heaters in our open-faced street cars. If our prominent advertisers could only get people to talking About their products as much as they talk about the winter weather, they would be willing to give thousands of dollars. Though the city man has keenly felt the hardships of the present winter's severity, he is not alone in feeling its ill effects. This has been a very bard winter on the farmer and his farm animals. Stock has required more rooghage during the present winter than during many previous winters. Last fall manyiof us thought that if the ground remained frozen during the greater part of the winter, the corn stalks on the wheat ground could be pastured wih no bad effects on the wheat and that in pasturing the wheat ground a large Baving of stored roughage would be effected; but it has not turned out that way. "It has taken more feed," says one dairyman, "than during any other winter during my ten years experience in the dairy business, and it has been practically Impossible to maintain a good milk flow even with the very best kind of milk producing feed. "I have several cows that are now nearly dry that should not go dry until about mid-summer. "There is a peculiar condition, too, that has presented itself, and I am unable to explain it. As a general rule whet the milk flow decreases, the per centage of solids increases; but the milk flow has been exceptionally low, yet my test for the nrst week in this month fell below the 12 per cent of solids which is required to be present &S8fih Need Sunshine AND Scott's Emulsion Next to sunshine, nothing restores health, strength and vitality Kke Scott's Emulsion AIL DRUOaiSXTS 11-53 MURRAY'S Week March 11 Htt.ES-mr.lD ALL TQOUPE 4 Olcr FcclTC3

in the milk before it can be sold in the city." "You surely cannot be making very much money if that is the case." I said. "Making money!" be exclaimed, 'why, I have been losing money ever yday since the first day of January; but I consider myselflucky that I am not losing any more than I am. One of my neighbors, who has run short of rough feed, and is now compelled to buy, says that he is loosing about $3.00 a day." In feeding fattening hogs and steers, it seems to take all tbe feed that they eat to keep them warm let alone putting on any fat. The farmers all over the country will welcome the coming of the spring of 1912 with much rejoicing. They are getting most anxious to the ground begin to thaw; because it is frozen so deep Hurt it will take several weeks ot warm weather to thaw it out should It begin thawing now. We have all become so snxious to see spring come that we are even willing to endure to a small extent the miles and miles of vaporings from tbe long haired riders of Pegasus. Please turn old Sol loose , Mr. Weatherman! even though it will produce the crop of odes and oders of spring, beautiful spring, the period of vanishing snow the return of the birds the green sward, the shady lanes, the bees, the leaves, the flowers et cetera. We .will be willing to wade in mud to our neck for awhile if you will only give us spring. Last fall the writer mentioned in this column that the signs of nature indicated that we were to have a mild winter. (Please don't comment.) That old fellow down east knew his business. He is a gentlemen and a scholar; we take off our bat to him and make a salaam. We bungled, and henceforth we will have nothing to do with signs or with any one that pins their faith in them. That old fellow down east said that we would hare one of the hardest winters that the weather man could hand out, and we surely have had it, and it doesn't seem to want to let up at all. More people have been compelled to ask for aid from the county during the present winter than ever before. In many other cities it has been impossible to get fuel. A city in Kansas closed the court house so that the city's poor could be provided with the coal that had been provided for tbat building. Some have suffered from the cold more than others, but we are all praying daily for the weatherman to send us spring. NOTICE. Women's Aid Society of East Main Street Friends' church, will meet tomorrow afternoon at the church. 13-lt

The Original Fruit Canners. We are indebted to Pompeii for the great industry of canned fruit Years ago, when the excavations were just beginning, a party of Cincinnatians found in what had been the pantry of a house many jars of preserved figs. One was opened, and they were found to be fresh and good. Investigation showed that the figs had been put into jars in a heated state, an aperture left for the steam to escape and then sealed with wax. The bint was taken, and the next year fruit canning was introduced into the United - States, the process being identical with that in vogue at Pompeii twenty centuries ago. Exchange.

THE ONLY SURE RHEUMATISM CURE ON EARTH It you suffer from rheumatic agony or hare a relative or friends who is tortured, read the following thankful letter, then go to Leo. H. Fihe and get a 60c cent bottle of RHEUMA. He sells it on money-back plan. "One year ago I had a most Severe attack of rheumatism, lasting; over nine weeks. Two bottles of RHEUMA cured me so completely I have never had the slightest return of tbe disease. We have a friend, an old lady, living here, who had rheumatism for more than a year, and she too was cured. Her joints were all stiffened and swollen, and she had previously tried everything for rheumatism she had ever beard of." George M. Ross, 308 N. Warren Ave., Saginaw, Mich., July 27, 1911. RHEUMA starts to drive tbe uric? acid from your system within a few hours after tbe first dose. It acts on kidneys, stomach, liver and bladder and brings blessed relief In one or tyo days.

German English. While visiting a small man of ac taring town in Germany last summer a New York woman bought a tortoise shell hair ornament which was badly injured through, a servant's carelessness. Tbe saleswoman to whom it was returned with a request to have it repaired, wishing probably to air her English, sent it back to tbe hotel with this note: "The hair comb sending to me is heavy to repnir whilst the pieces only through wire fastening can be. I would the destroy of tbe hair comb resolvethen could the lovely ornamental for other one hair comb be accomplish." New YorC Tribune. ' ' i hil. ; His Suspicion. "Well, wbaddy you want?"

Renewing: Complexions by Absorption If your complexion is marred with blotcbes, sallowness, moth patches, pimples, blackheads or freckles, it's useless to putter with powders and paints, jellies, creams and things. Unless you have some ability as an artist you'll mar your appearance still more. The new and rational way is to take off the complexion itself, witb all its offensive marks. Just get an ounce of pure mercolized wax at the druggist's and use at night same as cold cream. Remove next morning with water and soap. The mercolized wax absorbs the half-dead scarf skin in flaky particles, so gradually no one guesses you're treating your face unless it be by the result, which is truly wonderful, there's nothing like it for restoring a natural, healthy and beautiful complexion.

ROUTED HIS CREDITOR. teepee, the French Writer, Adapted Meet Effective Method. Lespes, the French journalist, known as Timothee Trimm. was once disagreeably intruded on by a creditor, who announced his intention of not departing until be was paid. The creditor planted himself on a chair, and Lespes beheld him. witb consternation, draw bread and cheese from his pockets, aa though to fortify himself against events. Several hours glided by. Lespes had resumed his writing and finished an article. Tbe creditor showed no signs of moving. Suddenly Lespes rose and with bits of newspaper began carefully blocking all the apertures through which air could come into the room. He then made preparations for lighting a charcoal fire, but before applying tbe match pasted on tbe wall just opposite tbe creditor's eyes a paper thus laconically worded: "Take notice that we died of our own wili." "What are you doing?" exclaimed the creditor uneasily. "Your society would render life intol. erable, so we are going to commit suicide together." answered Timothee tranquilly. It is needless to say-that tbe creditor decamped without watting for results and without his money. Argonaut. ,

The Alpine accidents for the spring and summer of 1911 comprised 118 fatalities, a decrease on the two preceding years, the total for 1910 being 128, and that for 1909 was 141.
