Rheumatic
Pains

MY mother is a great SUI
ferer from rheumatism, and DIR.
Miles Anti-Pain Pills is the only
remedy that relieves her."
MRS. G.. DAVENPORT,
Royceheld, N. J.
The pains of rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. They
also overcome that nervous irri-
tation which prevents sleep be-
cause they soothe the nerves. l0
chronic suffers they are invalu-
able. When taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence OF
pain, which so frequently pros
trates. Many sufferers use them
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, why
not you? They do not derange
the stomach nor create a habit.
Why not try them? Get a pack
age from your druggist. Take it
according to directions, and il
it does not benefit he will return
your money.

HEAVY TOUCH ON
KEOKUK MINISTER
r. c. McIlwain Robbed Of $500 Yes
terday Morning, According to
Minister'S Own Story.

According to the story told by Rev.
R. G. McIlwain, rector of St. Johns
Episcopal church, he was robbed yes
terday morning Of $500. The money
was five bills of the one hundred
dollar denomination. 1t was in
drawer of the dresser IN one of the
rooms of his home. corner Third and
Exchange streets. He had received
the money from payment on trans
action and had placed it rather care
lessly without any lock in the dresser
drawer. Between the hours of 9 and
10 in the morning it must have been
taken, as # was shortly after that
that the loss was discovered.
1t is supposed that McIlwain has noti-
fed the police, although they refuse to
make any statements concerning it.
An investigation is being made accord
ing to the rumor, as one of the officers
has been tracing the money, but as
yet has been unable to place his
hands on the possessor of an big
bills.
According to the story told by sever
al who are quite familiar w tn the act
ions of the Episcopal minister he is
very careless concerning his money
and often has large sums about the
house.

the other on How can we increase

Mr.. Gundy, in short, said that he
thought the Sunday School should be
