MR.. w HI. REIMBOLD:
Secretary B. P o. E., Keokuk, Iowa
Dear Sir and Brothers:
AS the time for the big Convention
draws near, August 16, II and IS at
Marshalltown, the committee in
charge feel that they have done every
thing in their power to make the
meeting success.
1t is now up to the other state
lodges to do theirs. If your commit
tee will get busy and cooperate with
us to the extent of sending large
visiting delegation and Band, the
meeting will prove success and
benefit to all and tie committee in
charge will feel that the efforts of
Marshall Lodge No. 312 have not
been in vain
We appreciate the fact that the
success of this meeting can only be
assured by large outside delegations.
Our experience in getting delegation
to attend past conventions has been
that there is no better or quicker
plan than to let it be known that
your lodge will be accompanied by
your band. 1t puts Ginger in the
Boys" and instills enthusiasm which
means success both for your local
lodge and the state meeting.
The expense of a band accompan-
Ing your delegation is not heavy, when
prorated among your membership
the special donation of $500 allowed
each delegation accompanied by a
band, together with such other prizes
that your lodge may win, will help to
reduce the expense materially.
We know that it will not be pos
sible for every lodge to employ band
but we will feel greatly disappointed
if the larger cities represented in the
state association, are not accompanied
by their band; BaLds mean music,
and music means enjoyment and

AS we have only few days left in
which to complete our arrangements

out the enclosed card stating as near
as possible how many members will
attend from your lodge, also as to
whether you will BRING your band.
Kindly mail same to me at as early
a date as possible.
In closing once more wish to call

JOY, by regulating the diet
The plan is to avoid meat entirely
for breakfast; use a goodly allowance
of fruit, either fresh or cooked. Then
follow with saucer containing
about four heaping teaspoonfuls of
Grape-Nuts, treated with a little rich
cream. Add to this about two slices
of crisp toast with a meagre amount
of butter, and one cup of well-made
Postum.
BY this selection of food the bodily
energy is preserved. while the hot.
carbonaceous foods have been left
out. The result is very marked diff
ference in the temperature of the
body, and to this comfortable condi-
ton is added the certainty of easy
and perfect digestion, for the food
being partially pre-digested is quick
ly assimilated by the digestive ma
chinery.
Experience and experiment in food
and its application to the human body
has brought out these facts. They
can be made use of and add material
ly to the comfort of the user.

LIVELY luIHS 10 III cdulAcoo III q
big day at the Hamilton chautauqua
today and large numbers of Keokuk
people will go to this ever popular
form of entertainment for both the
afternoon and evenings program. Ar
rangements have been made with
the street car company for special
cars and ample means of transporta-
ton are promised to all who will
make the trip. The new chautauqua
park is proving very popular not
only because of it's natural beauties
but also because of its closen9ss to
the street car line. Keokuk and War
saw people who use the street cars
will have only block to walk
which is a great Improvement over
the arrangements of the past chau-
tauqua gatherings.
Saturdays Program.
A change was found necessary in
the program yesterday to allow one
Of the speakers to make his next
date. Judge Alden who was to have
been the attraction for last evening
is on the platform at Bedford for
two lectures today and to allow him
to make these dates the manage
ment was forced to let him speak at
the afternoon gathering and DR..
Monroe Markley who was the az
ternoons attraction was transferred
to the evenings program. The Hun
garian Orchestra furnished the pre-
lude to both lectures. This orches-
ira has ever been and will always be
popular with the American public be-
cause of the sweetness and strange
ness Of their music. They are. if pos
sible, superior to the orchestra that
delighted the patrons of last years

Frankfort, KY. Jan. 21.-The
honor of having been governor of
Kentucky and exercising all the pre-

though for only five hours, is more
keenly appreciated by Senator Conn
Linn, who was thus honored yester-
day when Acting Governor w. VI.
Cox left the state to 90 to Cincinnati,
and Governor Wilson was absent in
Washington, because Senator Linn
has announced his intention Of leav-
ing Kentucky after the adjournment
OF this session of the senate TO make

already arranged to enter upon the

II was also the good fortune OF
Governor Linn to be the first of Ken

Treatment of Hiram Smediey for
the drug habit has been resumed at
the county Jail by County Physician
Ia Il. Young. For the purpose OF
giving the treatment he has been
isolated from the remainder of the
prisoners and placed in a side cell.
His dose of morphine and drugs has
been reduced TO two tablets day.
Yesterday afternoon his supply of
drugs was exhausted and he became
wild. Dishes were smashed and every
thing in his cell turned topsy turvy.
Deputy Jailer Whittemore thought he
did il in a At OF revenge, but he con-
t!nued his conduct until a tablet was
given him. When the injection was
taken he became calm and today was
quiet, with no sign of an outbreak.
Recently when placed in the cell In
the corridor the drug was slipped to
him. and before beginning treatment
il was resolved to wait until his sup
ply was exhausted. Yesterday after
noon an empty box was found and
during his rawlings It was concluded
that he was out OF the tablets. This
morning the treatment was begun.
For the purpose OF preventing the
drug from being slipped to him Jailer
Houser will place a zinc panel on the
door to the cell, as the treatment
