GET # FIRST R NOT LAST.

When cold grips your system It IS
convincing proof that your condition is
weakened-remember that tits risky
indeed to simply trust your strength to
throw it off, because neglected colds
have brought more serious sickness
than any other one thing, while weak
cningcathartics and stimulating syrups
are often depressing and dangerous.
The one best treatment for any cold
the one So often relied on when others
fail, is the powerful observation-disclosures
in SCOTS Emulsion, which feeds the
very sources Of bodily strength to sup
press the present cold and generate
strength to thwart further sickness.
Get SCOTS first, not last-and insist
on the genune-always free from al
cohol and injurious drugs.is

William Eduar Blake,

Burlington Post: An active, aggres
sive. learned member of the Iowa
bar was William Edgar Blake, who
passed on to another world a few
days ago after nearly half century
Of busy professional labors. Mr..
Blake's, career was ended somewhat
abruptly, and we think prematurely,
as all recognized in the man the ele-
ments of a steadily growing force
which had enabled him to rank any
and all practitioners in this enlight.
ened section of the west. Mr. Blake
was beloved very greatly by all those
persons who recognized in him an
inexhaustible fund of constructive re-
source, gift which experience and
study had enabled him to employ in
the most effective manner in their
behalf. So great and profound were
his mental gifts and SO thorough were
his deductions from his wealth of ex-
perience in law and it's kindred
paths that those who depended upon
him in such matters had come to re-
gard his Judgment as little short Of
marvellous. In the midst of such a
wonderful career, and while still in
the early seventies, death called him.
The thought here obtrudes itself: OF
what use would 1t be for nature and
society to grow and develop such
men if there is not another life of
larger opportunities?

surprised when they read in the

relieve, It aims to cure.
many well known people in this city

health, often after they have tried
many other methods Of treatment with
little or no benefit. No other dyspep-
STA remedy has made so large a per,
centage OF cures as Mi-o-na. 1t is so
large that Wilkinson & Co. stands
ready to refund the price to any Gus
toner whom 1t does not help.
The best kind of advertising is the
praise of a pleased customer, and
there are hundreds in keokuk today
praising Mona because it does what
it is advertised to do. A few months

wondering what the result would be.
Since using Mi-o-na, they eat what
they want with no fear Of suffering.
This medicine comes in the form OF
a small tablet and is very pleasant to
take. 1t speedily and permanently re-
lieyes almost all forms Of stomach

The problem of the neglect OF the

OF the chief concerns Of the pastors

the reason, why we do not attend
church.
With this in mind, Rev. McAllister
sent letter to twenty-four business,
trades, and professional men, who do
not go to church, and has received
many frank and pungent replies. The
letter was as follows:
