Spend Your Own Money,
Your Own Way
TXOES it not seem strange to you that a
+S dealer who tries to substitute, when
you ask for an advertised article, should as
sume that you are not capable of spending
your own money? Show him that you are
by insisting on getting what you ask for and
refusing any substitute. Substitutes pay him
a larger profit, otherwise he would give you
what you ask for, without question. Manu
facturers of advertised articles produce
large quantities, being enabled thereby to
manufacture cheaply and furnish the public
with high-grade goods at the price of in
ferior substitutes.
Substitute are Expansive at Any Price

IN MEMORIAM.
(By W. B. Bonnifleld)
The call to mourn the departure
from this life of some dearly beloved
one. has come with peculiar and un
usual frequency to the people of Ot
tumwa of late. In
thiB
we are remind­
ed of the uncertainty and the mystery
of this life.
If there In anything in this world
that has been believed by all men
everywhere, it is that there is a life be
yond what we call death.
They have always believed we are
surrounded by a spiritual universe.
They have had crude and imperfect
theories about these matters of spirit
and soul, but they have believed al
ways in the existence of the spirit
world.
That nature, God, or whatever you
choose to cal it, should have wiiisperd
something to every man, woman and,
child should have wrought a great
hope of a future life into the very fiber
of the human heart, "that if a man
die he shall live again," and that all
this should be a lie is not thinkable by
any intelligent being.
This inteligent faith and hope In a
future life, our late departed brother,
James A. Hammond had in an eminent
degree. He got this sustaining faith
and hope from his love of Jesus Christ
and Christ's teachings Christ, the
Son of God, sent to i..i" world to light
"h and show to humanity (no
way to true happiness and EJterna1
Life.
James A. Nammond was born at
Booneville. Indiana, in 1831. He came
to Ottumwa in 1847 he married Annie
E. Baker July 14, 1856. His wife and
one son survive him. He joined the
Methodist church in 1851 and has
been considered one of the strong pur
lars of the church ever since he be
came a member. He was always
ready to Join in anythin tghat would
tend to the uplift of humanity spirit
ually in the church or morally in the
community in which he lived.
He has gone from this plane of
thought not dead, but what ever he
did for righteousness and the glory
of God lives on to be reproduced in
the moral uplift of humanity as time
goes on and on.
