being on his way from Cedar Falls to
Newton. At Newton today. Mr.. Ran
kin attends a meeting of the workers
In the movement.
Mr.. Rankin is very much encouraged
over the outlook for the success of the
movement and the passage of the bill
before the next legislature. He finds
a general growing sentiment, so he
states, favoring the bill, even among
the liquor dealers themselves, who are
anxious that the law be lived up to.
Mr.. Rankin has been doing some work
in the RIVER towns, where there are
no pretertions of obeying the law, and
in these towns he also finds that the
better class of saloon men are anxious
for the passage of a law that will over
come the illegalities in liquor sales.
Mr.. Rankin will spend the entire
wear in the state, perfecting marshal
clubs in Iowa cities and towns. He
expects to have every town of any
size in the state organized by the time
the bill is presented to the legislature.

Epilepsy is q chronic functional dis

the Individual peculiarities of the VIC
tim. Epilepsy may remain in the same
form first manifested or progress by
successive stages to the most severe
and fatal type.
That epilepsy is not durable by the
family doctor Is fact admitted by
the physicians themselves. That all
kinds of cases from very mild ones to
the most severe form of the disease
have been cured by Wheeler's Nerve
Vitalizer is proven by hundreds of tes-
timonials received from those restored
to health. 1t is u sure and permanent
