A FEW GOOD POINTS,

tsE- That person In perfect healtn
rately catches cold, 1t is only when tho
system Is run down and the blood docs
not circulate properly that people fall vic-
Tins to colds.
tSS- That It Is a bad sign to feel weak
and shiyery and to constantly suffer from
tired, miserable feelings. II you do not
eat we'll. work well and sleep we'll, there
is evidently weak spot In your system.
ty- That ordinary food and drink cannot
supply the great vital force required by
people who work hard with their hands
and brains. They need something to stim-
ulate their energies, promote digestion and
keep the blood moving. There is nothing
better for this purpose than pure malt
whskey.
sSs That there is only one really medici-
nal whiskey aud that is DuGrys pure malt.
1t is not an ordinary whiskey. but a pure
stimulant that has wonderful effect on
the system, II stirs up the sluggish blood,
builds up the health. creates a good appo-
tito and promotes digestion. 1t prevents
aud It will euro coughs. colds chills. anP
even pneumonia. Every reliable grover and
druggist keeps it. Beware of inferior lmi-
tations Remember there is no other whis-
key like Dufy's and no other that can pos-
sibly take its place.

IOWA MAN TO MARRY HIS WIFE.
Each One Had Married Again After
Hearing the other Was Dead

Hearing the other Was Dead
CLEAR LAKE Ia, Jan. 16.-(Special)-
Details OF life romance more Interesting
than the tales OF fiction have just come to
light here Last summer Margaret, the
second wife OF Hiram Burt, OF this town,
died and short time ago Mr. Burt went
back to New York state to spend short
time visiting in his boyhood town, Hague.
IL now transpires that over fIty years ago,
when Mr. Burt was but a boy, he was the
schcolmate and later the admirer of one OF
the lassies of that village, Minnie Kinney
While both were still in their teens dis
agreement arose between the families OF the
two young people and as consequence they
were forbidden to meet each other. But ao
is usually the case, love outweighed the
force of parental command and the young
lovers eloped and were married, settling In
Vermont When the war broke out Hiram
Burt went to serve his country in New
York regiment while the young wife went to
Washington and entered the hospital service.
Mrs Burt heard that her husband was killed
at the battle OF Gettysburg, In June, 1868,
and so did not return to the old home at
the close of the war. but was by circum-
stances taken elsewhere. On the other
hand, Mr.. Burt heard that his wife was
killed while in the service. However, when
the war closed he received his discharge and
returned home to institute search which
proved fruitless, for the wife. Becoming
convinced that his wife was indeed dead, he
came west and located at Cassville, Wis
Here he met Mrs. Margaret Riggs, a widow,
and after procs<ing legal separation from
his former wife, should she be yet alive,
he was married to Mrs. Riggs and later
they moved to Clear Lake. Ia, where they
resided until her death last summer.
The first Mrs. Burt during her service az
army nurse, had met DR.. Isaac c. Knowles.
| and in 1865, after two years had elapsed
| from the supposed time of the death of Mr..
| Burt, she, after the precaution of securing
| legal separation from Mr.. Burt, married Or.
| Knowles. who was then a physician in the
| regular army. In 1875 DR.. and Mrs. Knowles
| and their children moved to Rochester, n.
| Y, where they resided until 1891. when he
! died 1t was in 1882, while corresponding
| with his daughter, that Hiram Burt heard
| that his first wife was still alive, and he
| Immediately wrote to her and verified the
| report.
| Death has NOW removed all barriers that
| prevented the union of the two who were
| once man and wife and were later as dead
! to each other, and now, after a suitable
| length of time shall have elapsed after the
| death of the second wife, Mr.. Burt will, after
a lapse of forty-fve years, lead to the mar
rage altar for the second time the sweet
| heart Of his youth. Both are now over GO
| years of age. After their marriage for the
second time it is the expectation that they
will come to Clear Lake to live, as Mr.. Burt
| has a home and relatives here.
