EXEMPTION LAW
is MODIFIED
Last General Assembly Changed
Statutes to Give More Reduc-
ton on Taxes Of all
Veterans.

The last general assembly changed
the law relating to tax exemptions
on account of being soldiers or sol
dier's widows. Section l OF chapter
191 Of the acts of the thirty-seventh
general assembly changes the law so
that the exemption from the actual
value of the property OF veterans OF
the Mexican or civil war is now
$500 instead Of $1,000 as before.
The law also allows a reduction OF
$500 from the valuation of the prop
erty of all Spanish-American war
veterans, veterans of the Chinese re-
lief expedition and the Philippine in
surrection.
The law also requires, as hereto
fore, that claim for such exemption
must be made to the assessor and If
not made to him may be made to the
board Of supervisors up to September
l. All of the above exemptions can
take effect on the taxes for next
year. In order to get the new $500
exemption, it will be necessary for all
parties claiming this to make claim
and file with the county auditor be-
fore September I, otherwise no ex-
emption will be allowed.
1t Will not be necessary for claim
ants as veterans of the Mexican or
civil war to file new claims. They
Will simply be given the $1,000 re-
duction instead of the $1,000.

will follow this ruling in regard to

It is probable that there will be an

is not probable. The mere fact of
marriage will not exempt men, it is

brought on by lack Of iron in the
blood.
On account OF the peculiar nature
OF woman and the great drain placed
upon her system at certain periods,
she requires iron much more than
man to help make up for the loss.
Iron is absolutely necessary to en-
able your blood to change food inlo
living tissue. Without It, no matter
how much or what you eat, your food
merely passes through you without
doing you any good. You don't get
the strength out of it, and as con.
sequence you become weak. pale and
sicldy looking, Just like a plant trying
to grow in soil deficient in iron.
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 becom-
ing tired. Next take two five-g grain
tablets Of ordinary nuXated Iron three
times per day after meals for two
weeks Then test your strength
again and see how much you havo
gained I have seen dozens of nerv-
GUS, rundown people who were ailing
all the while double their strength
and endurance and entirely rid them
selves Of all symptoms OF dyspepsia,
liver and other troubles, in from ten
to fourteen days time simply by tax
ing iron in the proper form. And
this, after they had in some cases
been doctoring for months without
obtaining any benefit But don't take
the old forms of reduced iron, iron
acetate, or tincture Of iron simply to
save a few cents. The iron demand
ed by Mother Nature for the red co.,
oring matter in the blood OF her chill
dren Is, alas! not that kind OF iron
You must take iron in a form that
can be easily absorbed and assim-
Hated to do you any good, otherwise
it may prove worse than useless. l
have used Nuxated Iron widely in my
own practice in most severe agra
waited conditions with unfailing re-
suits. I have induced many other
physicians to give it a trial, all or
whom have given me most surprising
reports in regard to its great power
as a health and strength builder.

George StiLman of Royal
Canadian Rifles Had Pro-
Phetic Vision Before He
Died 90 His Last Letter
Home.
FROM OLD IOWA.

A soldier dressed in foreign garb lay
on the battle field,
The stream of life flow'd out his side
where he had stopped the steel.
Around him ragged the battles din,
the foe was breaking through,
When, on his weakening eardrums
burst sound the soldier knew.
1t was a bugle's stern notes he
caught upon the wind,
AS it drifted by upon the breeze
toward the reserve line.
A dozen mates took up the call and
hurled it here and there,
And from five thousand ready souls
there burst the 'Do and Dare"
He saw them come, those gray forms;
from shop, from office, from
fathers farm;
His soul awoke--he seemed to feel
the light from off their glitter
ing steel
There was something in those flags
they bore that brought back
thoughts of days of yore.
He saw the land from whence they
came-its fields of grass and
golden grain;
His old state reached her arms for
him,>and he thought of what he
might have been
His soul stood up-But his body lay;
as those Sons smashed by from
IOWA.
Oscar Leach, Sergeant, U. S. Army.
The Dream.
Over in France, while a former
Keokuk boy, private in the ---
Battalion, Royal Canadian Rifles,
lay dying in British field hospital
Of wounds received in action, he had
a dream.
He dreamed that the British line
was hard pressed and that when the
call for help went out, a brigade Of
Iowa troops came to the rescue and
with flags flying, smashed through
the boche line. And although he had
been wounded in the fight, he stood
Up and saluted
This dream may come true in the
very near future. But Private George
Stillman of the Royal Canadian Rifles
will never salute the Iowa troops, the
soldiers from his own home state,
Iowa, the land he loved SO well, as
they take their places on the far
flung battle line in Fronce.

just and now lies buried in France
with many another American youth
who heard the call of the war long
before America entered, and Joined
the Canadian legions. George Still
man died June 10, 1917, of wounds
received in action,
This is the censor's grim postscript
tackled on the last letter he wrote
his old pal, Oscar Leach, a sergeant
in the United States regular army.
Sergeant Leach, now at Fort Leav-
