tanned by Doctors at Their
REGULAR Session,

Teh Physicians club Of Keokuk
held its regular meeting last night in
the Tiffany room of the Hotel Iowa.
There were about twenty-eight men,

present at the event. The dentists OF

The program following the dinner
was very informal one. No set

called upon. The meeting provided a
most interesting time for the doctors
and their guests.

BIG CROWDS LAST YEAR

It is announced that there will be
no union Sunday evening services this
summer. Several churches were I'M
willing to go into such united effort,
feeling that the loss gained in the
solidarity of the church organization
Offset the gains to be had from CO
operation with their sister churches.
Several of the larger congregations
of the city desired to have union SER
vices, but the action Of the other
societies in refraining from co-operat-
ing led to feeling on the part OF the
pastors Of these churches, that 1t
would not be wise to attempt union
services unless all the protestant
churches of the city co-operated.
Union Sunday evening services
have been held in the Keokuk
churches the past two years during
the months Of July and August. Dur.
Ing these months so many members
Of some of the churches are away.
that It is well nigh impossible to
secure a respectable attendance at
the evening services. However. there
are many people who do stay over
the summer, in all the churches. who
would like to go to church on Sunday
evening, and so for the benefit OF

rotation at the various. meeting
;! houses. The various pastors took turns
in speaking.
Last summer large attendances
were had at all the services and sew
eral times the buildings where the
meetings were held were crowded. II
was hoped this spring by number
Of the ministers that even more sue
cessful meetings might be held this
summer. There will be much regret
on the part of the church members
that these services cannot be arranged
this summer.
The union meetings were also
found useful in bringing about feel
ing Of friendship and fellowship
among the members Of the various
protestant congregations. In no small
degree did this aid in CT eating thu
spirit that brought success in thu
| Scoville evangelistic campaign.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Most people
to get renewed health and strength
from some stimulating medicine,
secret nostrum or narcotic drug, said
Dr.. Sauer, well known specialist
who has studied widely both in this
country and Europe. when ,as mat
ter of fact, real and trae strength
can only come from tho food you
eat But people often fau to get the
strength ont Of their food because
they haven't enough iron in their
blood to enable 1t to change food into
living matter. From their weakened.
nervous condition they know some
thing is wrong but they can't tell
what, so they generally commence
doctoring for stomach, liver or kidney
trouble or symptoms of some other
ailment caused by the lack of iron
in the blood. This thing may go on
for years, while the patient suffers
untold agony. If you are not strong
or well. you owe it to yourself to
make the following test: See how
long you can work or how far you
can walk without becoming tired.
Next take two ffve-gratn tablets Of
ordinary nuxated iron three times per
day after meals for two weeks. Then
test your strength again and see for
yourself how much you have gained.
I have seen dozens of nervous, run
down people who were ailing all the
while, double their strength and en-
durance and entirely get rid of all
symp toms of dyspepsia, liver and
other troubles in from ten to four
teen days time simply by taking iron
