FouR.FolD Benefit

From Two Grand Medicines in Spring.
You know that physicians often give
two prescriptions, perhaps more. or
medicines to be taken together, or al
ternately Or at different times.
One reason may be that the medi-
cines are 'incompatible"--do not agree
when closely mixed in taking-or that
desired results cannot be secured by
one medicine alone.
The most successful combination
spring medicine treatment that we
know of-because perfectly "compat-
ible". and productive of the best re-
sults-is in Hoods Sarsaparilla and
peptiron Pills. The former Thoroughly
searches out and expels impurities
from the blood. while Peptiron Pills
give the powerful tonic-they literally
..put iron into your blood"
Hoods Sarsaparilla should be taken
before meals and Peptiron Pills after
taking them SO report
the benefit Is four-fold-prompt, posi-
tive, permanent. Both these medi-
cines are economical and pleasant to

urday between three families which
had been receiving aid. The fund is
therefore exhausted and the commit
tee has wound up affairs and is max
ing this report of its activities.
The committee wishes to thank
those firms and individuals who so
generously subscribed, and to express
their appreciation of the financial as.
sistance rendered.
The fund was used to help depen-
dent families of the soldiers wher-
ever the committee deemed aid was
proper and advisable. One of the
ways in which the committee assisted
was by making 1t possible through
this fund for one Of the soldier boys
to get a schooling. He had been
working in a local store, but on his
return expressed the wish for a
chance to go to school. The COM
mittee secured place for him after
school hours. and paid him the diff
ference, thus giving him chance to
work and go to school. Wives and
children of men who left their jobs
and went to the front were given
help and there were many instances
of good done through the fund.

at his home here. Death was cause1
by a nervous breakdown and he was
unconscious almost all Of his ten day
illness. He was fifty-nine years old.
Service in the states highest court
continuously since 1894, made him
one of the best known turists OF
Iowa.
Judge Deemer's father, John A.
Deemer, was a sworn foe or slavery
and Became a volunteer agent OF the
underground railway" in Marshall
county, Indiana, where the future
Iowa jurist was born September "a,
1858. Horace Deemer attended the

In the lumber business in West Lib
erty and engaged in the furniture
business for time before entering
the collegiate department of the State
University Of Iowa. Young Deemer
graduated from the college and from
the law department in 1878.
After. his admission to the bar,
Deemer entered the law Office OF
Lamb, Bnlingsley & Lambertson In
Lincoln, Neb., afterward coming to
Red Oak. Here Deemer met an old
classmate in the state university, the
late Senator ]. M. Junkin. The two
men formed a partnership and enter
ed upon the practice Of law in Red
Oak in the fall of 1879. This partner
ship continued until Deemer's cleo.
ton as district Judge in 1886.
His denomination and reelection
followed in 1890 by an increased ma
jority. While on the district bench
many important cases were tried be-
fore him, notably the Cross murder
case in Montgomery county.
Governor Frank d. Jackson in 1891,
upon the urgent recommendation Of
the bar in this district, appointed

from five to six.
Judge Deemer has repeatedly been
urged to accept the position Of dean
of the law school of the state uni
yersity at an advance in salary. but
has refused, preferring to remain on
the bench.
Judge Deemer was married in 1882
to Miss Jeanette Gibson of Red Oak.

taken deep interest in things that
tend to the well being Of the COM
munity, the MontyIFesto. an annual
