sex and which in most cases may be
readily relieved by this famous root and
herb medicine, Lydia E. Pinkham's

Camus found it helped her after suffer

ANOA W AVoA 0PS1nSAS III
Keokuk yesterday urged their
audiences to buy bonds Of the
third Liberty loan because
every bond bought means that
many bullets and cannon with
which to resist the assaults of
the Hun boards; means that
much protection for our pris-
oners, some Of whom have
come back with their noses cut
off their faces, and acid poured
into the raw flesh; means the
doom of the doctrine of autoc-
racy, and might; means that
America is solidly behind her
boys who are going out to fight
for her against the most inhu-
man monster that ever sat up
on a throne.
Meetings at the Hippodrome at four
o'clock and at the Westminster church
at eight o'clock We're well attended. in
spite Of counter attractions at the
PLAY houses. At both of these meet
ings, the three speakers drafted for
service in Iowa. Commissioner Gaylord
Saltzgaber Of the pension bureau;
Chaplain Bigelow OF Camp Dodge, and
Mrs. Cora G.. Lewis delivered a stir
ring appeal to buy Liberty bonds or
the third issue In the afternoon Mrs.
Lewis made her appeal to the women.
Chaplain Bigelow related one of the
most horrible examples OF German
cruelty, and appealed for a big SUD
scription to Liberty bonds to furnish
the cannon and munitions OF war to
stop such atrocities when he told OF
meeting a returned prisoner, wearing
big dark glasses and shield over his
face, and how he learned that the
mans nose had been cut Off to his
face, and his flesh had been burned
around the nose and the eyes with
acid.
The speakers denounced those who
could buy bonds but who wouldn't, as
slackers and traitors, and not fit to be
called American citizens. One OF the
speakers declared that Uncle Sam had
the same right to draft money ana
property as he did men.
Set Prairies on Fire.
MY German father gave six sons
to the cause of the union, Commls-
sioner Saltzgaber said 1t was OUT

try in it's time of need. We are now
engaged in another great struggle
against the most inhuman monster
the world has ever known. Let US SET
these Iowa prairies atire again, with
the fire of patriotism. There is no
question of the loyalty of the people
Of Iowa. Seventy thousand men re-
sponded to the calls In 81. NOW, we
