HEALTH, WEALTH AND HAPPINESS

HEALTH, WEALTH AND HAPPINESS
Are more intimately connected with
sound stomach and good condition OF
the blood than most people suppose.
ThinblOod means weakness, languor
and misery. A dyspeptic stomach
means all the horrors you can think of.
Browns Iron Bitters means enriched
blood, good digestion, healthy appe-
tite, sweet sleep and vigorous strength.
Mr.. Henry Hallam, South 18th Street,
st. Louis, says: "Brown's Iron Bitters
relieved me of dyspepsia, purified my
blood, and gave me an appetite. :"
Thousands Of others testify in the
same Way.

Semi Centennial of odd Fellow
ship in Wise onsin.


Fifty years ago this month Iowa
lodge, No. /, l. 0. 0 F. was insti-
tated at this place by a special dep
uty of Pennsylvania, d. d. G. NJ
Stephen Taylor. The petitioners for
the charter were Edward Coad
William Ball, Andrew Remfrey,
VIM. Polkinghorn, Richard Johns,
John Cole, George Mitchall, John
Casserly, John Rich, Ralph Colds
worthy, John Cox, Joseph r James
and Edmund Paul. This was the
first lodge of Odd Fellows that was
instituted in the northwest and
worked under a charter granted by
the Grand Lodge Of the United
States. Mineral Point at that time
was the most active business town
in what is now the state Of Wiscon-
sin. In 1887 the building now own
ed by VIM. Thomas estate was bui 1t
for lodge hall. Since that time
the lodge has had its ups and downs,
but it still survives and is in pros
porous condition. 1t has a member
ship of about 50 and the members
carry q life insurance Of $4,000.
They own one of the finest halls in
the state and do not owe a dollar.
From this lodge, up to Dec. 81, 1884,
have grown 296 lodges and a mem.
bership of 1895.
