New Canaan, Conn., June 21.
—William H. Rand, for many
years head of the printing and
publishing house of Rfind, Mc-
Nally & Co., died here last night
at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. Henry W. Chappell. He
had been ill for some time.
William H. Rand was born at
Quincy, Mass., May 2, 1828, the
twelfth child and seventh son of
John Rand, a minister. He at-
tended the local schools, and in
his early youth was employed in
the printing offices of his broth-
ers, Franklin and George, who
later founded and conducted the
firm of Rand, Avery & Co., in
Boston.
In 1849 he joined the gold
rush to California, making the
voyage around Cape Horn. His
labors at mining brought small
success, and after about a year
of them, he returned to his
trade as a printer and in part-
nership with the late John A.
Lewis of Boston, a nephew by
marriage, established the first
newspaper in Southern Califor-
nia. the Los Angeles Star. The
text was printed in both Span-
ish and English.
Returning to Boston he estab-
lished a printing business in
that city, and in 1855 married
Harriet Robinson of Bath, Me.
Mrs. Rand died in 1905.
In 1856 Mr. Rand moved to
Chicago and was thereafter
closely identified with the busi-
ness and growth of that city.
He printed the Chicago Tribune,
and was for years a part owner
of that paper. Having sold his
interest shortly aftar the Civil
War, he founded with Andrew
McNally, who had been his fore-
man, the printing and publish-
ing house of Rand. McNally &
Co.
In the great re of !Q71 the
tuilding and machinery r f the
[ firm were de'eroyed, but busi-
ness was lesumed cn the day
{following in rented premises.
Mr. Rand's health at this time
became impaired and, being
obliged to take a long rest from
work, he went to Europe and
lived abroad with his family for
five years in Switzerland, Ger-
many and France. Returning in
the centennial year, he resumed
active business, in which he
continued until 1894. He then
retired and has since lived in his
! boyhood home at East Milton,
! Mass., passing his summers at
Martha's Vineyard Island.
Mr. Rand believed that every
man owed a duty to his calling,
' and many inventors of improve-
ments in the art of printing
I found in him an enthusiastic
helper and wise adviser. In
1885 he, with Whitelaw Reid,
i Melville E. Stone, Stilson Hutch-
ins, W. H. Smith and others,
! organized the syndicate which
[brought to perfection the type,
or matrix, setting machine,
known as the Mergenthaler
Linotype, and it was Mr. Rand
who suggested the expressive
name of that wonderful ma-
chine.

DIARRHOEA QUICKLY
CURED.
"About two years ago I had
a severe attack of diarrhoea
! which lasted for over a week,"
writes W. C. Jones, Buford, N.
D. "I became so weak that I
could not stand upright. A
duggist recommended Chamber-
lain's Colic, Cholera and Dia-
rrhoea Remedy. The first dose
relieved me and within two days
I was as well as ever." Obtain-
able everywhere.
The Mustard
Seed Is a
Tiny Nut
The meat or kernel of this tiny nut
is what has the real, rich mustard
flavor — the shell is almost as
flavorless as the hull of a walnut.
Then when the whole mustard
seeds are ground up into mustard
you get bulk to be sure, but the
strength is weakened by a part of
it being shell or the tasteless part
of the seed. It is pure mustard,
but it is Tint the best flavored
mustard, in-1 lie most economical
to use.
White Swan Mustard is made by
discarding t he shells and grinding
up into mustard only the kernels
of the mustard seed—these little
kernels look like rolled oals when
ready for grinding. Mustard
made so is all strength and flavor.
You can very readily satisfy your-
self as to whether or not a mustard
is ground from kernels or.ly or
from whole seed. The former,
poured dry into a .class tube shows
a powder of a solid, pure canary
yellow. The other kind will look
speckly—the mass is full of little
dark p irlicles; these are the shells,
the aln.ost tasteless part of the
mustard reed.
The pure: >se of White Swan
Mustard is an assurance not only
of getting pure mustard, but of
getting mustard ground from the
shell-less kernels of imported mus-
tard seed—full strength and fine
flavor.
Your grocer sells White Swan
Mustard—ask for it.

HENRY'S FRIENDS
WERE LOYAL
And they stick to one anoth-
er. Have you heard the story
that is on the rounds—I heard
it told at the hotel last night—
about Jenkins, of somewhat, one
old time?
Henry Jenkins, a newly wed-
ded suburbanite, kissed his wife
good-bye, telling her he would
be home at 6 o'clock that even-
ing. Then he got in his auto
and started for town. Mid-
night arrived and no hubby.
She could bear the suspense no
longer, so arousing her father
she sent him to the telegraph
office with six telegrams to as
many brother Elks living in the
city, asking if her husband was
stopping there over night.
At dawn a farm wagon car-
rying a farmer and friend hus-
band drove up to the house. The
broken down auto was in tow.
Almost simultaneously came a
messenger boy with a telegram
followed at short intervals by
five others. All of them read:
"Yes, Henry is spending the
night with me."—Ex.

Rose is Plaintiff, and Henry
Rose is Defendant, and said pe-
tition alleging that plaintiff and
defendant were legally married
in the year of 1911 and that
they cohabited together as man
and wife for about four months,
when plaintiff was forced to
leave defendant on account of
cruel treatment; that defendant
began a course of cruel, unkind,
and harsh treatment toward
this plaintiff' soon after their
said marriage, and that said
cruel treatment culminated in
their said separation.
Plaintiff alleges that as an is-
sue of said marriage there is a
boy now about 3 years of age,
whose name is Jesse, and this
plaintiff wants the care and cus-
tody of said child to be given to
her; that she has cared for, and
is the proper person to care for
the said child, since the birth of
said child.
Wherefore, plaintiff prays for
citation to issue requiring de-
fendant to appear and answer
this petition and that upon a
final hearing hereof, that she

custody of the said child, for
judgment for her costs, and for
general relief, etc.

STOMACH TROUBLE
FOR FIVE YEARS
Majority of Friends Thought Mr.
Hughes Would Die, But
One Helped Him t6
Recovery.
Pomeroyton, Ky.—In interesting ad-
rices from this place, Mr. A. J. Hughes
writes as follows; "I was down with
stomach trouble fcr five (5) years, and
would have sick headache so bad, at
times, that I thought surely I would die.
I tried different treatments, but they
lid not seem to do me any good.
1 got so bad, I could not eat or sleep,
ind all my friends, except one, thought I
would die. He advised me to try
riMdiord's Black-Draught, and quit
taking other medicines. I decided to
lake his advice, although I did not have
any confidence in it.
I have now been taking Black-Draught
for three months, and it has cured me—
haven't had those awful sick heari.vhe*
since I began using it.
I am st> thankful tor what Black-
Draught has done for me."
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
found a very valuable medicine for de-
rangements of the stomach and liver. It
is composed of pure, vegetable herbs,
contains no dangerous ingredients, and
acts gently, yet surely. It can be freely
used by young and old, and should b*
kept in every family chest.
