FORD DIES JN POVERTY Buried at Peoria With Few" Mourn ersEnd Like That of Distin guished Father. Peoria, 111., March 21. Lowered into the grave with but four mourners to pay respects, the body of Mrs. Anna Davies, last daughter of the late Gov ernor Thomas Ford, was interred be side her mother, father and sister as darkness settled over Springdale cemetery last evening. No word of eulogy was spoken, jio minister read prayer as the body was consigned to its last resting place. After three years in the deaconess hospital at Lincoln, 111., Mrs. Davies died Thursday night at the age of 72 years, penniless and with but one liv ing relative, a daughter. With but scant funds to provide a proper burial, the daughter, Mrs. Watson of Oska loosa, Iowa, arranged to bring the body of her mother, the last immediate member of Governor Ford's family, here for burial. Through the aid of four Lincoln residents a modest coffin was purchased and the funeral ar ranged at their expense. Services were held at Trinity church in Lincoln yesterday afternoon. The burial of Mrs. Davies recalls the death of one of the- state's great est governors, who was also publisher of a history of Illinois. Like his daughter and the other members of his family, he passed away penniless in 1850. Governor Ford, after his suc cessful and highly bene.Tcial reign as executive of Illinois from 1842 to 1846, practiced law In Peoria and lived here until his death.

All the news all the time The Argus. NEW SUITS ARRIVE Olive Drab Uniforms for Mem bers of Company A to Be Distributed. . ARE OF LATEST PATTERN Will Complete Equipment of Local Organization Making It Ready for Inspection. Captain E. IL Dunavin of Company A has received notice of the shipment of an entire new set of service uni forms for his command and the mem bers of they company have been or dered to be present at the armory this evening in order that the issue of the new suit can be made. The equip ment Is olive drab, the latest style in vogue in the United States army. The addition of these uniforms com pletes the company equipment and makes it ready to stand inspection by a United States army officer April 12. From now until Inspection drill time will be spent in perfecting the men on such points as come up and in ad dition to the regular drills on Monday evening there will be school for the non-commissioned officers on Thurs day evenings. Will Probably Stay. Present indications are that Com pany A will not.be mustered out of, the service, as has been feared. The membership roll of the company has steadily increased during the past two months, and it has come to be be lieved that if the company shows up well at Inspection in April it will not be mustered out, even if it does not come up to the minimum number re quired under the Dick bill. Army of ficers state that a small company well trained is preferable to a much larger company with less training, and for this reason the minimum clause in the Dick bill will probably not be en forced strictly, but will be used merely as a club to hold over companies to force them to keep up an effort at least to add to their membership. OFFICIAL SPRING IS WITH US NOW Advent Unaccompanied by the. Usual Equinoctial Disturbance, but End Is Not Yet. About 5:25 this morning spring of ficially arrived in Rock Island.

WHAT'S THE USE Sticking to a Habit When It Means Discomfort? Old King Coffee knocks subjects out tolerably flat at times and there is no possible doubt of what did it. A Michigan woman gives her exper ience. "I used to have liver trouble near ly all of the time and took medicine which relieved me only for a little while. Then every once in a while I would be suddenly doubled up with an awful agony in my stomach. It seemed as though every time I took a breath I would die. No one could suffer any more and live. "Finally I got down so sick with catarrh of the stomach that I could not turn over in bed and my stomach did not digest even milk. The doc tor finally told me that if I did not give up drinking coffee I would sure ly die, but I felt I could not give It up. . i "However, husband brought home a package of Postum and it was made strictly according to directions. It was the only thing that would stay on my stomach, and I soon got so I liked it very much. "Gradually I began to get better and week by week gained In strength and health. Now I am in perfect condition, and I am convinced that the whole cause of my trouble was coffee drinking and my getting bet ter was due to leaving off coffee and taking Postam. . "A short time ago I tasted pome coffee and found to my astonishment that I did not care anything about it. I never have to take medicine any more. I hope you will use this let ter for the benefit of those suffering from the poisonous effects of coffee." Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville" in packages. "There's a Reason." .
