IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE Reaper whose name is death And with his sickle keen He reaps the bearded grain at a breath And the flowers that grow between He gazed at the flowers with tearful

eyes

He kissed their drooping leaves, It was for the Lord of Paradise He bound them in his sheaves. Alva D. Phillips, being the eldest son of a family of nine children, was born January 24, 1879; died Feb. 25 1908; aged 28 years, 1 month and 1 day. He was united in marriage to Pearl Wood April 26, 1905, with whom he lived until he was called to cross the river of-death. Alva united with the Sixth Christian Church at Indianapolis Nov. 12, 1906, and to this time has lived a faithful member. Alva leaves wife, father, mother two sisters and six brothers and a host of other relatives and friends who will sadly miss him. Alva was sick several months with that dreaded disease, consumption. All that the loving relatives and friends could do was done but it was all in vain, the bud was snatched from earth to blossom in Heaven. The funeral services were conducted at Union Chapel Wednesday morning by Rev. J. C. Ashley, and the remains laid to rest in the Union Chapel Cemetery. The pallhearerswere three brothers, one cousin and two friends: Ora. Oscar and Lonnie Phillips. Klmher Gardner, Ben Wood and Orbra Shannon. A precious one from us is gone, A voice we love Is still, A place is vacant in our home Which never can be filled. We loved him. yes we loved him But the angels loved him more And they have gently called him To yonder shining shore. Pay after day. life ebbed away, And still thy uncomplaining soul, A vet’ran courage did display That marked it for no earthly goal And while we mourn thy loss on earth We know that on the blissful shore, Tee angels celebrate thy worth. And death can harm thy life no more. Then rest In peace, dear patient heart, From earth’s brief joys and lingering pain; Thy spirit, destined to depart. Dwells in Paradise, free again.

How Her Life Was Saved When Bitten by a Large Snake. How few people there are who a r ■ not afraid of snakes. Not long ago a harmless little garter snake fell on the wheel of an automobile which was being driten by a woman. The woman promptly fainted and the car, left to its own resources, ran into a stone wall and caused a serious accident. The bite of a poisonous snake needs prompt attention. Mrs, K. M. Fishel, Route No. 1, Box 40, Dillsburg. Pa., tells how she saved her life when bitten by a large snake. ‘‘On August 29, 1908, l was bitten on the hand twice by a large copperhead snake. Being a distance from any medical aid, as a last resort I used Sloan’s Liniment, and to my astonishment found it killed all pain and was the means of saving my life. 1 am the mother of four children and am never without your Liniment.”

Grippe or Influenza, whichever you like to call it, is one of the most weakening diseases known. Scoffs Emulsion, which is Cod Liver Oil and Hypophosphites in easily digested form, is the greatest strength-builder known to medical science. It is so easily digested that it sinks into the system, making new blood and new fat, and strengthening nerves and muscles. Use Scoff's Emulsion after

Influenza.
