sion letter which proves that Sam

Refuses to Talk.

To Assistant County Attorney Ed
w. McManus, Samuels refused to give
out any information or reason for his
rash act of Friday night.

Samuels admitted having had trouble
with his wife for the past two years.
He stated that they were married
in Joliet, II ten years ago. Things
have not been peace and quiet in the
Samuels home for some months it
seems, and on the twentyfourth of
February thiss year, p stipulation was
drawn up between husband and wife
in which the two agreed to separate
but Samuels was to pay twenty dol
lars month toward the support of
his wife and two little girls, Harriet
and Mary Louise Samuels, aged I
and years respectively.

cure must come through right living.
Take Poruna, for instance. No one
claims Peruna is a cure for dyspepsia
But Peruna will stimulate the stomach
TO perform its function properly. Peru
ma will increase the flow of digestive

Was Good Workman.

Several weeks ago, Joseph Samuels
was promoted to the captaincy of the
West Keokuk fire station In speak
ing of his services yesterday both Com
missioner Gray and Chief Anderson
spoke highly of the manner in which
Samuels has conducted himself in the
department, which he entered as a
steady employee about seven months
ago. Samuels has been connected
with the department for the past five
years, having been a minute man up
to the time Of becoming a pipeman
and regular fireman.
The awful act committed by Sam
uels is the cause Of sad regret. es.
pecially where he was well known.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1911-03-05

IT person would correct his habits,
persist in right eating and temperate
ways, undoubtedly the stomach would
right itself, the blood would rid itself Of
the poison, and everything would be
right. But rs said before there are
multitude Of people who will not or can
not adopt right methods of living, To
such people Peruna is boon. A dose
before meals will assist the stomach to
do its work. This prevents fermenta-
ton Of the food, brings about norma.
digestion, and all the train Of ills that
follow indigestion disappear.
In other words, Poruna is helpful to
those who live badly, or those who
have acquired some chronic weakness.
Pcruna does not cure, but it assists the
powers of Nature to bring about cure.
| The whip does not increase the power
OF the horse to pull a load, but Judi.
ciously used it stimulates the horse to
use his powers at the right time, with.
out which he could not have pulled tho
load.
This illustrates the effect of Peruna,
or any other good remedy upon the sys.
tenn. Taken at the right time, it calls
forth tie powers of the human system
to meet the en- roachments OF disease,
and thus cuts short, if not entirely ends,
the diseased action.
No one should ever attempt to substi-
into medicine in the place of right liv-
ing. In the end such an attempt will
prove disaster. But an occasional use
Of the right medicine at the right time
is godsend, and no reasonable person
will undertake to deny it.
Those who know how to use Peruns
find 1t of untold value. By and by the
world will get wise enough SO thai
, through. correct living no medicine q
!, all will be needed. But that time ha!
not arrived. In the meantime, while
the world is approaching that perfec
