REPORTED PURE BY STATE EXPERT

 

The Dope With Which the City Water is Treated is Pronounced Effective, and Anyhow Most of Our Water Supply is Safe Without It.

 

Pleasing reports came Saturday from the State University assuring the Brookfield authorities that our city drinking water is safe to use.  Eight samples of water were sent there for examination, including one from the “points” in the Yellow Creek bottom, five from as many different wells near the east pumping station, one from the fairground wells, and one from the faucet in Dr. S. T. Brownfield’s office at the railroad station.

 

Dr. M. P. Ravenel of the University reports the water from the points “safe and of excellent quality,” and while some of the wells show impurities, making their “safety doubtful,” yet the sample from the faucet, which was the only one that had been treated with disinfectants, is pronounced by the same authority “safe and of excellent quality.”

 

Therefore, our citizens may feel safe in using the water.

 

RED CROSS KNIGHT

 

I will be a Red Cross Knight!

I will wear the sign!

I will help the godly fight

With the strength that’s mine!

 

Some may blow the stirring fife,

Some may win a sword,

Some may give a precious life

Fighting for the Lord.

 

But at home my task is plain --

Not the field for me.

Yet with heart and hand and brain

Soldier I may be!

 

I may knit and sew and fold;

I may serve and give

Pennies, dollars, notes or gold

That our boys might live.

 

Take the cross and lend a hand

In the goodly fight.

Children of a gallant land,

Each a Red Cross Knight.

THE SELECTIVE DRAFT

 

The people of this county are almost a unit, we believe, in accepting the plan of a conscription of soldiers for the present war as the best that could be devised.  We believe, too, that the officials in charge of the drawing are doing their utmost to have it conducted with absolute fairness.  Moreover, we are convinced that great care has been exercised in the selection of the exemption boards, but at the same time it goes without saying that some persons will make desperate efforts to evade the draft; indeed, it is reported that something has been done in this line in this township already, but all patriotic citizens should cooperate to the end that equal justice shall be done to all with no respect of persons.

A BROOKFIELD WOMAN

 

The following article is clipped from an article in the Chillicothe Constitution commenting on the re-appointment of Miss Franklin Wilson as superintendent of the Industrial Home for Girls in Chillicothe, this much being said of Miss Elizabeth Wilkinson formerly of Brookfield:

 

“Miss Wilkinson, the assistant superintendent, is equally as pleasant and accommodating.  She is greatly interested in her work and realizes fully the problems which daily arise in an institution of that character.”

 

That she fully appreciates the confidence and unanimous support extended by those outside the institution, can be drawn from a remark, her first after extending a cordial greeting.

 

“’We certainly do appreciate the hearty cooperation extended on all hands.  It is a most inspiring work and we are trying hard to make conditions always pleasant and at the same time maintain strict obedience and discipline.’

 

“An appropriate motto which occupies a prominent place in the superintendent’s office drew our attention.  It well illustrates the manner in which the Home is being governed under Miss Wilson’s administration:

 

“’Get your happiness out of your work or you will never know what happiness is.’”

OUR NEIGHBORS

 

From the Linneus Bulletin -- Little Mabel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Wilson who reside west of Linneus, was dragged from her Shetland pony last Monday and had both bones in her lower right arm broken.  She suffered considerable pain, but after having the injured member dressed, she is now rapidly improving.

 

From the Marceline Journal-Mirror -- Postmaster Walker is getting ready for the establishment of village delivery of mail August 1, 1917.  The Civil Service Commission turned in the names last Friday of the newly appointed carriers, the selections being made from the eligible list created by the civil service examinations held in this city last summer.  The two carriers appointed were William Hunter of this city and George W. Riley of Bucklin, both young men.

 

From the Exchange --  As a part of its bit, the University of Missouri will turn out men better prepared to take up arms for their country.  Beginning with the regular 1917-1918 session which opens September 17, two years of military training will be required of all able-bodied men students.  For the last several years, one year of “war” has been required.  The change in requirement will not effect those who entered the University in September 1916 or earlier.

 

From the Chillicothe Constitution -- Dr. Shelton of this city yesterday afternoon saved a young man for the United States Navy.   The young man was Thomas E. Fleming, age 22, who applied for enlistment in the Navy at the local recruiting station yesterday.  He failed to pass on his right ear, but as he had passed the Army examination successfully when he was 17 years old, James Donnelly, who is in charge of the Navy recruitment station in the Federal building, took him to Dr. Shelton who very kindly examined and washed the ear, after which the boy was in good shape.

 

From the Marceline Journal-Mirror -- George Barnhill, a Western Union lineman, was the victim of what appears to have been a case of mistaken identity on the night of July 4.  Barnhill was standing in the park about 9 o’clock that evening, watching the crowd, when somebody came flitting up and stabbed him with a knife in the left side of the face just in front of the ear.  He only caught a glimpse of his assailant before he was gone and said that it would be practically impossible to recognize him.  He was of the opinion that the man mistook him for somebody else, as he was a complete stranger in the city.

DIET, EXERCISE OR DEATH

 

An eminent medical authority writes that most of our city folk die of a thickening of the arteries or of kidney disease.  The kidneys become clogged and do not filter the poisons from the blood, and one trouble follows another; high blood pressure damages the heart, arteries and kidneys.  Usually its danger signals are backache, pain here or there, swollen feet or ankles, rheumatic twinges or spots appearing before the eyes.

 

The very best remedy is this:  eat meat but once a day, or not at all.  Plenty of outdoor exercise, and drink pure water frequently.  Before meals, take a little Anuric, the great uric acid neutralizer that is easily obtained at the drug store.  When you have dizziness, chills or sweating, worry or dragging pains in back, try this wonderful enemy to uric acid, which Dr. Pierce of Buffalo, New York, discovered and named Anuric.  You will find Anuric many times more potent than lithia, dissolves uric acid as hot water does sugar.

The Meadville Messenger last week printed the following affidavit relating to the birth-place of General Pershing:

 

“John J. Pershing, famous general and leader of the American forces in France, was born on the farm now owned and occupied by John Templeman, one and one-half miles east of Meadville, Missouri.

 

“My father owned and lived on the farm adjoining the Templeman place on the east at the time the general was born.

 

“The general’s parents, during the first months of their married life, boarded with my father.  Before the birth, they had moved to a small farm now owned by Mr. Templeman.

 

“John J. Pershing was named after his father, who was then section foreman of the new Hannibal & St. Joseph Railroad which touches the farm and which had just been built.

 

“Mr. and Mrs. Pershing were present with the child, who was then a baby in arms, when I was married, March 8, 1860.

 

“Mr. Pershing moved from the farm to an old section house about midway between Meadville and Wheeling, from where he later moved to Laclede, Missouri.

 

“I make this statement for the sake of historical accuracy, to correct the view generally accepted and recently restated in the press with his brother as an authority, that he was born in Laclede.”  -- Louisa Warren

 

“Subscribed and sworn before me this 10th day of July, 1917.  W. L. Tharp, Notary Public.  My commission expires February 11th, 1919.”

HALL’S CATARRH CURE

 

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years, was supposed to be incurable.  For a great many years, doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.  Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment.  Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market.  It is taken internally.  It acts directly on the blood and mucous surface of the system.  They offer $100 for any case it fails to cure.  Send for circulars and testimonials.  Sold by druggists, 75 cents.

 

Take Hall’s Family Pills for constipation.

A GOOD FRIEND

 

A good friend stands by you when in need.  Brookfield people tell how Doan’s Kidney Pills have stood the test.  Mrs. S. Hubbard of 619 South Market Street endorsed Doan’s over three years ago and again confirms the story.  Could you ask for more convincing testimony?

 

“The first symptom of kidney trouble in my case was the irregularity of my kidneys,” says Mrs. Hubbard.  “My back was lame and ached and felt sore if I did a hard day’s work.  I had headaches and dizzy spells.  I spent lots of money trying to get rid of this trouble, but didn’t find relief until I took Doan’s Kidney Pills.  After using one box, I felt so much better; the headaches left me, so did the dizzy spells and my kidneys acted regularly.”  Statement given February 15, 1913.

 

On May 27, 1916, Mrs. Hubbard said, “I can recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills as highly as ever.  I haven’t needed any lately, but the help they have given me in the past has given me the greatest confidence in them.”

 

Price 60 cents at all dealers.  Don’t simply ask for kidney remedy -- get Doan’s Kidney Pills -- the same that Mrs. Hubbard had.  Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, NY.
