The funeral services over the re-
mains of Mrs. Mary N. Jackson. who
died at her home, All North H Street,
Saturday morning, February 16, 1907,
were held at Wesley Chapel M. E.
church at 2:30 p. m. Sunday, Febru-
airy 18th, and were conducted by Rev.
]. f. Florence, assisted by Rev. Stor-
att, with interment in Forest GENE
terry. The immediate cause of death
was gall stones, and although she
had been in poor health for some
time, her last serious illness lasted
but few days. Mrs. Jackson was
born in Missouri about February IL,
1910, and was nearly 67 years of age
when she died. She came to Iowa
about 35 years ago and has lived In
Oskaloosa ever since. She was twice
married and leaves three sons and
several grandchildren, besides two
brothers and one sister to mourn
their loss. She had suffered much
from disease during her life, having
had both feet amputated and was
compelled to use artificial ones for
several years before she died. Yet
with all her disadvantages she was a
hard working woman and sought to
be as little as possible a burden to
those whose duty it was to look after
her welfare. She was a member OF
Wesley Chapel and sought to live up
to it's teachings as she understood
them
Elmer Murray, who was called here
by the illness and death of his moth
err, Mrs. Jackson, returned to his
home in Kansas City Tuesday. He
was accompanied by his niece, Miss
Geneva Murray, who had been long
here with her grandmother.
Mrs. VIM. James, who has been
quite sick for the past week, is re-
ported much better. The baby, how
ever, is still very sick with pneu-
monia. 1t had several spasms Thurs
day night but was easier Friday and

The lid must be off in Oskaloosa,
judging from the appearance on the
streets of some of the old timers
who have been most conspicuous by
their absence during the past two
years.
Will Blair is enjoying an extended
vacation, owing to a disagreement he
had recently with Landlord Morey of
Hotel Lacey.
Mrs. Mary Murray, mother of Miss
Belle Cannaday, has been confined to
the house the past week on accoun'

Rev. Smith and wife have given uT
house keeping for the present and
have taken rooms with Mrs. Peter
Williams at 30 A Avenue East. That

Reports from Commodore Lee say
that he has entirely recovered from
his recent cold and climatic troubles
and is feeling better than at any timN
since he has been in Denver.

The food experts of Battle Creek have
discovered natural food-remedy, called
PEPTOL, which SO greatly contributes

Thin people have coughs, colds. br0n-

during the winter months. Avoid these
distressing maladies this year. Build up
the tissues by the use OF PEPTOL, the

PFPTOL is not drug. but Is com

Instantly revives the vital fires when
burning low. The preparation has been
used for years by leading physicians and
sanitariums as a flesh-builder, but has
only within the last few months been
offered to the general public.
A weak. emaciated stenographer gained
10 pounds Of flesh in 30 days.
A well-lnowh merchant suffering with
chronic indigestion gained 5s1 pounds in
one week.
We have records of hundreds of sim
