The fortunate entrance of DR.. Lees
into his house saved Fred Williams
residence from burning Tuesday.
The doctor, who occupies their resi-
dence, in which Fred retains his
room, is staying at the Denhart home
during the absence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Denhart. Going owe to Fred's place
to feed his chickens he entered the
house and noticed smoke. On enter
ing Fred's room he found the floor
afire, but was able to quench it with
a pail of water. Flames had gone
clear through the double floor and
were under good Roadway when dis
covered. Fred uses a mitten to re-
move the fuel from the fire for the
foot warmer in his mail wagon and it
is supposed that this held a smould-
ering fire when thrown on the floor
from which the fire started.

and right here most sufferers from inn
pure blood make serious mistake.
They imagine because their digestion
is poor. that something IS wrong with
the stomach itssii. A reduction In the
amount OF nourishment taken often
makes matters worse.
The truth in such cases is that the
stomach is falling to do it, work we'll
because it is not receiving sufficient
supply OF pure, red blood.
Such Sufferer should take thorough
treatment for the blood with DR.. VIII

National Meeting to be Held In July
WIN Attract Thousands to the
Northwest Pacific Coast
state.
1900 IoWANs ARE GOING
One Of the Things That Is Creating
Great Interest In the Elks Ranks
Is tho Big Brother
Movement.

The local lodge Of the Elks is en-
Toying a steady growth and the order
Is keeping busy, providing innocent
amusement for the members and do
Ing all sorts of good work, which is
never referred to.
One Of the big things IN Elkdon,
that Is beginning to attract attention
Is the national meeting. that is going
to be held In Portland. Oregon, in
July. It Is expected that the.,s WILL be
1900 Iowans at this big gathering, who
will go In special trains, with bands
and banners. etc. OF course. Keokuk
Will furnish her quota. There will
be but one regular delegate 1t is GUS
tomary to send the outgoing exalted
ruler, and so VIM. H. Reimbold Will
have the honor of officially represent
ing Keokuk at Portland In July
But there will be big bunch of the
best people on earth, who will come to
his assistance and will represent
Keotuk in Portland in an unofficial
capacity.
One of the things In which Keokuk
Elks. in common with Elks in the
west generally. are taking interest, is
the Big Brothers movement 1t had its
beginning In the east au1 has beer
rapidly spreading over the north, the
west and the south. The intent 81
the movement Is to bring the Big
Brothers In closer touch with the Lit
tie Brothers, who are In need of good
moral Influences. Each Elk Is to fint
boy, who does not seem to have thu
best of opportunities, and Is to MAKE
that lad his friend, and is to help him
with good advice at the right time
and by example to become a good cit
zen. real man. There are very fey
of the members. who can not by look
ing around in their own neighborhoo6
discover some boy, who needs the az
vice and the friendship and the hel
of the Big Brother. And 1t is safe {
assume, that the Little Brother Will a
ways treasure that friendship and wi
really profit by the aid and advice thu
Is given him and will become the risf
sort of lad to take prominent plac
among the Big Brothers, little late
on. 1t is most interesting and
most profitable work, In which til
Elks are thus engaged In many town
and 1t again offers magnificent oppo
tunities for the very best kind of cha
ity, that which does not proclaim itse
from the housetops.
