Three Funerals in One Day.

For the first time in the history of
the Iowa Soldiers Home three funerals
were held in one day, Tuesday. While
one was not really conducted from the
institution, the obsequies were over a
member. At 3 O'clock a double funeral
was conducted by Chaplain Jesse Cole
in the chapel, where there lay, side by
side, the remains of Mrs. Ann Burden,
who had been lifelong Methodist, and
Edward Moran, a life-long Catholic.
The interment of Mrs. Burdens remains

neral at the Home the body of Patrick
O'Keefe was conveyed from the Home

in doctors bills. Many of my friends
advised me to quit coffee and use your

Some time later I met a friend who
wished me to try a cup of Postum. and
her manner was so convincing that I
finally tasted the Postum to please her.
Great was my astonishment to find 1T
so different from what had drunk be-
