MAKING SUNSHINE.
II is Often Found in Pure Food.

The improper selection of food drives
many healthy person into the depths
of despairing Illness. Indeed most
sickness comes from the wrong food
and just SO surely as that is the case
right food will make the sun shine once
more.
An old veteran of Newburyport.
Mass, says: "In October 1900 I was
forty seven pounds in about sixty days.
1 had doctor after doctor, but all food
hurt me SO I had to almost live on
magnesia and soda. All solid food dis
tressed me so water would run out of
my mouth in little streams.
81 had terrible night sweats, and my
doctor finally said I had consumption
and must die. My good wife gave up
all hope. We were at Old Orchard,
Me-, at the time my wife saw some
Grape Nuts in a grocery there. She
bought some and persuaded me to try
it. | had no faith in it but took it TO
please her. To my surprise it did not
distress me as all other food had done
and before 1 had taken the fifth pack
age / was We'll on the mend.
"The pains left my head; my mind
became clearer, gained weight rapid
ly. I went back to my work and after
six weeks use of the food am better
and stronger than ever before in my
life Grape-Nuts surely saved my life
and made me a strong, hearty man,
fifteen pounds heavier than before
was taken sick.
Both my good wife and l are willing
to make affidavit to the truth of this"

The Wolcott Funeral.

The funeral of the late Miss Genie
Wolcott was held from the Wolcott APP
partments over 116h East Main street
Friday afternoon at 2:30. The services
were brief and We're conducted by Rev.

floral membranes We're sent to the
family, including a large bouquet OF
American beauties from Miss Wolcott's
pupils and an elegent set piece from the

with whom the deceased's brother,

Marshhalltown devotees of art have
met with a great loss in the death of
Miss Wolcott. She was most talented
artist, noble, high souled woman.
Her whole life has been devoted to her
chosen work, and for many years her
studio has been the gathering place
for all lovers of the best in art. She
was the true artist. never satisfied, ever
striking for higher ideals in perfection
and beauty. Nothing makes the soul
so pure as the endeavor to create
something perfect; for God is perfee-

for something that is God like. And
most truly in this ever striving for per-
lection was the life and influence o:

A Duly Incorporated Fraternal
Insurance Co. Organized by
Marshalltown Men
HEADQUARTERS WILL BE HERE
Made With Insurance
Solicitors for Vigorous Campaign
to Secure Business-The New Order

In !. o. o. f. Hall.

The Loyal Legion of plymouth, the
fraternal beneficiary order lately incor-
porated, with headquarters in this city,
will soon become d leader in the state
of Iowa If the plans of the head officers
are carried out. The people of Mar
shalltown should take a lively interest
in the welfare of this organization, as it
is controlled largely by Marshalltown
people, and the headquarters are estab-
lished here without the promise of a
bonus or other consideration. While
several hundred Marshal'town people
have already applied for insurance, no
general canvass of the city has been
OF our citizens as possible during the
next two weeks and give all an oppor-
tunity to carry insurance with this
home organization.
The supreme secretary, Mr.. M. G..
Duncan has been in the life insurance
business for twenty years and has an
acquaintance and reputation among the
insurance men of the state, which to-
gether with the influence CT the number
of prominent people in different parts of
the state who are identified with the So
ciety, will be of great value to the or
ganization.
In addition to the usual good fea-
lures of fraternal beneficiary societies,
the Loyal Legion of Plymouth has
added weekly benefit for disability
from sickness or accident and also a
Plan to aid members in any honorable
way. The ritualistic work will incul-
cate a spirit of patriotism and the lee
lures and entertainments will be eievat-

The insurance feature is to be con-
Quoted upon insurance principles and
the rates are based upon the American
experience table of mortality and per
cent. The expense allowance is limited
to sum much less than is used by reg
ular life insurance organizations and
the system of scaling certificates during
the first four years of membership re-
duces the mortality expenses very ma
terially. In the event of death 40 per
cent is paid the first year, 80 per cent
the second, GO per cent the third, so

The difference between these
and the full face value of the

all monthly payments, is deposited in

The articles of Incorporation have
been approved by both the auditor OF

JAMES DUFEUS
GOES Insane
Former Well-Known Iowa Poll
tician and Newspaper Man
a Mental Wreck
WORTH $4,000 AT ONE TIME
Came to The Soldiers Home From Des
Moines in 1s01-Has Been Failing for
Some Time-Imasines Some One is
Attempting to Take His Life And
That of Commandant Horton.

James Duffus, member of the Iow2
Soldiers Home from Poi: county, once
a prominent politician and newspaper
man of the state, was adiudged insane
Friday night by the county board
of commissioners of insanity and or
dered sent to the state hospital at Cla-
rinda. Duffus' case is particularly sad
as he was once brilliant fellow and
a power in both politics and the COM
mercial world.
Duffus has been failing rapidly for
some time, and for the past month has
been growing SO weak mentally that it
has been realized that something would
have to be done. Owing to the mans
prominence, and the fact that he has SO
many friends and acquaintance thru
out the state, Commandants Horton
made known his condition to number
of his friends, to see if they cared to
take action and have him treated in a
private asylum. No one seemed will
Ing to take the initiatory step. and the
mans condition became so bad that it
was impossible to keep him longer in
the hospital.
Duffus' hallucination is that some one
is attempting to harm Linn, even to de-
stroying his life. He does not worry
for himself alone, but thinks that Com
mandant Horizons life is also in danger,
and that evil-inclined persons are con-
stantly making secret efforts to place
dynamite under the hospital and blow
1t into atoms.
James Duffus was at one time one of
the prominent men in First district
politics. He was editor for a number
of years of the Fort Madison Plain
dealer, which was later merged into the
Gem City and is now conducted under
that name. He was also postmaster at
Fort Madison during the administration
of President Harrison, and later con-
Quoted the Florence Hotel. at Fort Mad
ison. Friends of Mr.. Duffus say that his
check, ut one time. could be written for
100000. He was also prominent in Iowa
Masonic circles.
Mr.. Duffus is SO years of age, having
been born in Aberdeenshire. Scotland,
Oct. "a, 1916. He came to this country
when young man, and during the war
was living at Montezum:. He did not
enter the service until May IA, 1864,
when he enlisted in Company b, Forty
sixth Iowa infantry. He served until
Sept. % following, when he was dis
at Davenport. he entered the
Home from DeS Moines on Oct 81 1901
Mr.. Duffus is a widower and has
three children living. They are Mrs.
F. H. Trenton of Chicago, Harry c.
Duffus of Chicago and Miss Marie Duff
fus of Victor.
Sheriff Shoemaker viii probably not
leave for Clarinda until Monday, owing
TO the poor railway connections on Sun
day. 1t is not considered that hospital
treatment will benefit the patient ma
terially.

other things he said:
"It is the habit of road building that
gives to a people permanent greatness

has been all that one could wish, but
it is mere presumption to consider good
railways as substitutes for good high
ways.

If bent on pleasure, if an ordinary rain

the rural districts will not find farm
life attractive.
