PENNSYLVANIA State Grange.

The annual session of the Pennsyl
vania State Grange is to be held in
Scranton this year and the dates are
December 1914. The session will be
well attended. probably the largest in
the history of the order. The Penn
sylvania State Grange is noted for an
active participation in public affairs
which gives additional interest to its
annual state session, where many live
questions are thoroughly discussed
and a positive Grange policy is defined
to be followed the coming year. The
fact that State Master w. T. Creasey
has been for sixteen years member
of the Pennsylvania legislature and
one OF the hardest fighters there
against graft and corruption has done
much to identify the State Grange
with many public questions. In fact
there is no state where Grange par
ticipation in public affairs has been
more pronounced than in Pennsyl-
vania. There are more than $4,000
members of the Grange in Pennsyl-
vania. which naturally gives the or
ganization much influence In support
of such policies as it attempts to car
nv through.

Ex-STATE LECTURER DEAD

Death has claimed one of the most
efficient Grange workers in New York
state, in the passing of Fred Shepard,
former lecturer of that state Grange.
Mr.. Shepard's Grange service was
one of efficiency and success. AS a
charter member of Deer River grange,
No. 702, he held therein all it's respon-
sible chairs and then filled the lead
ing chairs in the st. Lawrence county
Pomona. In 1902 he was appointed
county deputy and through his efforts
the interest and prosperity of the or
ganization was greatly increased. In
1904 he was elected state lecturer
which position he filled for four years,
during which the lecture work of the
oranges all over the state was brought
to an increased state of efficiency and
the educational side of Grange work
especially emphasized and developed.
He proved an effective and instruct
i've speaker and responded to a great
number of Grange gatherings in all
parts of the state
Mr.. Shepard was forty-nine years
old and was a good citizen, a loyal
Patron, helpful friend and a fine
Christian gentleman. He was partic-
ularly interested in agriculture, in ru-
raj progress and in the advancement
of all worthy things. In politics he
was always active, In the best sense,
seeking always to promote that cause
which should contribute TO the great
est good to the greatest number.

CAUSE FOR ALARM
Loss Of Appetite or Distress After
Eating Symptom That Should
Not BE DisreQarded

Appetite is Just natural desire for
food. Loss Of appetite or stomach
distress after eating indicate indiges-
ton or dyspepsia. Over-eating is a
habit very dangerous to a persons
good general health.
1t is not what you eat but what
you digest and assimilate that does
you good. Some OF the strongest
heaviest, and healthiest persons are
moderate eaters.
There is nothing that will cause
more trouble than a dsordered stom
ach, and many people daily contract
serious maladies simply through dis
regard or abuse of the stomach.
We urge all in Roundup who suffer
| from any stomach arrangement, indi-
gestion, or dyspepsia, whether acute or
chronic, to try ReXall Dyspepsia Tab
lets, with the distince understanding
that we will refund their money with
out question or fC rmality, if after rea-
sonable use of this medicine. they are
not perfectly satisfied with the re-
suits. We rect mend them to our
customers every Gay, and have yet to
hear of any one who has not been ben
Gifted by them. We honestly believe
them to be without equal. They give
very prompt relief. aiding to neutral
ize the gastric juices, strengthen the
digestive organs, to rgulate the bow
els, and thus to promote perfect nu
triton, and eradicate all unhealthy
symptoms.
We urge you to try a 25c box of
ReXall Dyspepsia Tablets, which gives
Is days treatment. At the end of
that time, your money will be return
ed to you If you are not satisfied. OF
course. in chronic cases length of
treatment varies. For such cases, we
have two larger sizes. which sell for
soc and Sl.O0. Remember you can

nifty only at our stOre-The ReXall
