At the close of the National Conven-
ton of Woman Relief Corps in PhiIa-
delphia, in 1899, Mrs. S. A. Rice, of
this city, who was a delegate, visited
the historical battlefield of Gettysburgh
One of the most interesting places
visited was the little brick house, with
the hole left by the minnieball in the
door, recalling the heroine Jennie
Wade. who gave her life for freedom
and the dear old flag.
The first day of the battle she drew
and carried water from a windlasS well,
and filed the canteens for the soldiers
amid the shrieking of shells and the
awful din of battle.
Next day, she was up before light,
baking bread for the soldiers and be-
fore her task was done a ball from the
enemy's gun crashed thro' the door
killing her instantly.
She was buried the 4th of July by
soldier hands.
The w. R C. of Iowa are raising
a fund for erecting a monument to the
memory of this brave girl who gave her
life as heroicaily as any man who fell
in battle.

ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.

Many cities are electing new officers
of associated charity work this spring,
that they may plan for funds. workers
and methods.
This seems very sensible and our
city will do well to follow their exam
pie. There should be men on our board
as we'll as women, and a united effort
with the Humane Society be made to
overcome some stubborn cases of abb
ject restitution and downright cruelty
to human beings, now in our city.
Our ministers ought to take an in
terest. Business men might save
money in taxes if they would teach our
Charity Board some business methods.
The following resolutions should be
adopted by every charitable organiza-
ton in the state and every legislator
who refuses to vote for such a bill
should be made to do charity work
with such people, until he realizes the
necessity, which would be at the end of
the first day:
TO PREVENT MARRIAGE OF DEGENERATES.
Keokuk, April 1.-The Tri-State
Medical Society at its meeting here
yesterday passed the following reso-
lutions by a unanimous vote:
Whereas, There has been a well
recognized increase in the number of
insane people and other forms of de-
generates; and
Whereas, A large proportion of these
are the direct progeny of those who
were themselves physical and mental
perverts; and
Whereas, The chief duties of the
state are the protection of the health
and morals of its citizens; therefore
be it
Resolved, That we petition the sew
eral legislatures to enact laws prevent
ing the marriage of well recognized
mental and physical degenerates, and
that a committee be appointed in each
of the states represented in the society
to carry this plan into effect.

A WAY THEY HAVE.
What this 0skaloosa Citizen
Says Only Corroborates the
Story of Thousands.

The particulars related by this
representative citizen of Oskaloosa
are similar to hundreds of others in
this city when there are scores of
people, all anxious to tell about the
benefits received from the use of
Doan's Kidney Pills, the greatest
skeptic in Oskaloosa must be con-
WINGED. Read this:
Mrs. j. Fenwick of S16 South D
street, says: From a backache with
which / suffered much annoyance /
was given prompt relief through using
Doan's Kidney Pills. My husband
brought them home from Blakeslee
Brothers drug store, and, as | said,
their use for only short time was
entirely successful in freeing me from
pain. My faith has been established
from personal experience with Doan's
Kidney Pills and accordingly recon-
mend them to others troubled as l
was"

pered and fear grips the heart. Homes
are forsaken. People flock to the rail-
roads frantic to escape from the infected
city. But shout a warning against dys-
pepsia and who is alarmed? Nobody.
Yet dyspepsia in the diseases to which it
tends, is responsible for more deaths an

lence could probably claim in decade.

STA and weak stomach also. The .dys-
peptic eats enough but the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition
fail to extract the nourishment from the
food and so the body grows lean and the
strength of the body is undermined.
DYSPEPSIA AND DEcENERACY.
There is a certain physical degeneracy
which results from dyspepsia. If the
body is not nourished it grows weak,
and as the body is only a general name
for the sum of its organs and members,
to speak of the body growing weak
means that the heart is growing weak,
the lungs are growing weak, and that
the liver and kidneys and other organs
are involved in the same weakness"
When diseases of the stomach and its
allied organs are cured these dependent
weaknesses are cured also.

very obstinate case OF dyspepsia" writes

FOES IN AMBUSH.
THE HIDDEN PERILS OF THE
PAST AND PRESENT.

When the Puritan passed through the
forests of New England, he realized that
his greatest danger was from hidden
foes. Therefore, he was armed and
vigilant. The enemies man can see
he can fight, but the enemy that skulks
in darkness unseen, be he ever so weak,
is to be dreaded by reason of his in
visibility.
The foes that threaten the life to-day
are all ambushed. There is no fear Of

it strikes suddenly from ambush.

THE EQUAL RIGHTS ASSOCIA-
TON.

The New York Legislature last week
passed bill Cling women taxpayers
the right to vote on all propositions to
raise money by tax or assessment. The
bill commanded such overwhelming
votes as 81 to 20 in the Assembly, and
p to IA in the Senate. Susan B. An
thony says that this is the entering
wedge. which will result in the early
adoption of full women's suffrage by
New York. The New York Nation
says, THAT while neither men or
women presented any sufficient argu-
ment against granting the privilege
sought, nevertheless, many of the ma
jority in each branch for the bill just
passed would have opposed the wider
proposition on the familiar ground that
there is no such evidence of desire for
the ballot among women generally, as
was manifested by women tax payers
and that indifference or opposition to
full suffrage on the part of women is
the rule. The important element in the
case everywhere is the attitude of the
women. They got full suffrage in
Colorado and other western states a
few years ago because they showed that
they wanted it. They have not yet
shown this in any eastern state"

STRENGTH FROM FOOD.

All physical strength must come from
food after it has been received into the
stomach and properly digested and
assimilated. Medicine cannot make
strength. There is only one source of
strength and that is food converted into
nutrition. There are two chief causes
of physical weakness; one insufficient
food, the other the inability of the stom-
ach and its allied organs to digest and
assimilate the food eaten. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is not offered
as a substitute for food, but as a medicine
which enables the perfect digestion and
assimilation of food, and so gives the body
the strength which comes from food alone.
When the weak stomach is made
strong again by the use of UGolden Med
ical Discovery" the food it receives is
perfectly digested and assimilated, and
the body in all its parts and organs is
restored to strength with the stomach.
The lost flesh is regained and the body
is built up with sound, solid flesh instead
of fabby fat.
But as the body is but a name for the
sum of its organs and members, so
strength for the body means strength
for each organ of the body, and WREN
the stomach is made strong, strength is
given to the Uweak" heart, "weak
lungs and other weak organs.
Accept no substitute for Golden Med
ical Discovery" there is no other medi-
cine "just as good " for the cure of dis
eases Of the stomach and other organs of
digestion and nutrition.
PLAIN TALK
on medical matters must be in plain
English if it is to be understood. 1t was
the aim of DIR. Pierce in the preparation
OF his Common Sense Medical Adviser,
to provide for household use book that
should deal with health and disease
practically, on common sense lines and
in common sense language. This great
book, containing 1908 large pages, is sent
free on receipt of stamps to pay expense
of mailing only. Send 81 one-cent stamps
for the cloth-bound volume, or only 81
stamps for the book in paper covers.
