Church Held Special Service
Last Evening.

An interesting service was held last
evening by the members of the First
Methodist Protestant church, in the
hall being used by the church until
the new building has been built and
a large sized congregation gathered
at No. 824 Main street.
The service was in the nature of an
anniversary service of the establish
ing of the church in Keokuk and each
member present was called upon and
responded by quoting passage of
scripture. The remarks by the pastor,
Rev. j. c. McCaslin We're appropriate
to the occasion and very interesting
and inspiring.
A special committee had charge of
the anniversary service, consisting of
Mrs. Greta Meister, w. C. Thon Miss
Louise Schwartz, Mrs. j. w. Harmon
and Mrs. j j. Ashley.
Special services are being held this
week, in charge of the pastor and the
public is invited to be present each

The correct name for your trouble
is Food Fermentation-food souring;
the digestive organs become weak;
there is lack of gastric juice; your
food is only half digested, and you be-
come affected with loss of appetite,
pressure and fullness after eating,
vomiting, nausea, heartburn, gripping
in bowels, tenderness in the pit Of
stomach, bad taste in mouth, constipa-
ton, pain in limbs, sleeplessness,
belching of gas, billiousness, sick

food lies like lump of lead on your
stomach. you. can make up your mind
that at the bottom of all this there is
but one cause-fermentation of undi-

Prove to yourself, after your next
meal, that your stomach is as good as
ana; that there is nothing really
wrong. Stop this fermentation and
begin eating what you want without
fear of discomfort or misery.
Almost instant relief is waiting for
you 1t is merely a matter of how
soon you take some Diapepsin.

here will be radical change in the
method of securing vital statistics in
Iowa if the recommendations of Louis
A. Thomas, secretary of the state
board of health and of the state vital
statistical department, are adopted by
the coming legislature.
Mr. Thomas brands the present
method of securing data concerning
births as totally inefficient 1t is now
left for assessors to discover once a
year how many children are born.
Mr. Thomas would have a law requir-

turn would report all births TO the

FOR CONSTIPATION
A Medicine that Does Not Cost Any.
thing Unless It Cures

Ii you suffer from constipation in any
form whatever, acute or chronic, we
will guarantee 20 supply you medicine
that will surely effect cure if taken
with regularity and according to direc-
tions for reasonable length of time.
Should the medicine fail to benefit you
to your entire satisfaction, we promise
that it shall cost you nothing.
No other remedy can be compared
with Rexall 0rderlies for the easy,
pleasant and successful treatment of
constipation. The active medical in
gradients of this remedy which is odor-
less, tasteless and eolorless, is an en-
tirely new discovery. Combined with
other extremely valuable ingredients; it
forms preparation which is incom-
parable as perfect bowel regulator,
intestinal invigorator and strengthened.
Rexall Orderlies are notable for their
agreeableness to the palate and gentle
ness of action. They do not cause grip
ing or any disagreeable effect or in
convenience, and may be taken at any
time, day or night.
We particularly recommend Rexall
0rderlies for children, delicate or aged
persons because they do not contain
anything that could possibly injure the
most delicate organism. They are just
as easy to take as candy, and unlike
other preparations for like purpose
they do not create habit, but instead
they overcome the cause of habits ac-
quired through the use of ordinary lax
alive, cathartics and harsh physic, and
permanently remove the cause of con-
stipation or irregular bowel action.
We want you 10 try Rexall Orderlies
at our risk. We know that there is
nothing that will TO you so much good,
and we will refund your money without
argument If they do not do as we say
they will. They are prepared in tablet
form in two sizes of packages; So tab

constantly aching backs, or headaches,

more suff ering than any other organ of

health is easily maintained. Read of a
remedy for kidneys only that helps and
cures the kidneys and is endorsed by
