Can Come Only From tn
Proper Treatment.

Many forms of rheumatism are
caused by millions Of tiny germs
that infest the blood, and until the
blood, is absolutely freed of these
germs there is no real relief in
sight.
And because SO many people treat
the pain, and not the disease itself,
is one reason why rheumatism in
many cases is a permanent disease,
increasing in severity year by year.
The most satisfactory remedy for

Ter of the Citizens Savings Bank ar
rived home Saturday from Beach, N.
D., where he spent five weeks assist

evidently liked F. E. out at Beach,
as will be evidenced by the following
from the Beach Advance:
IF. E. Cratsenberg returned to
DEBORAH, Iowa, today after being
with us five weeks as acting cashier
of the First National Bank to help
out his friend, President Attletweed,
until another cashier to succeed the
late A. X. Attletweed had been
chosen. During his stay in the city
Mr.. Cratsenberg made a host of
friends who indeed regret his return
home, as while the weeks rolled by,
had hoped that he might remain as a
citizen of Beach. A lot of good wish
es go with him, and the hope is
generally expressed that circumstan-
ces may bring him back to this land
of promise and opportunity"

CITIZENS TAKE NOTICE.
Law Regarding Chickens, Dogs
Parking Autoes, Cleaning Alleys,
Etc. Must BE Obeyed.

Warm weather is on the way, at
least We hope so, and we desire now
to give the usual spring warning to
our citizens who own automobiles,
chickens and dogs, that the city law
regarding these must be obeyed.
The parking of automobiles is pro-
hibited in front of theatres and pic
ture shows, also autos must not
park closer than 20 feet of fire
hydrant. No parking is allowed at
street intersections either. Please
remember these laws and save your
self unnecessary trouble.
Regarding chickens remember
there is city ordinance against
them running at large. People do not
plant flowers and gardens to have
them destroyed by the neighbors
chickens. Remember this and obey
the ordinance. A word to the wise
should be sufficient.
All ash piles in the alleys should
be removed now. Make arrangements
with a drayman to do the work.
Don't put the matter off, and compel
the city teams to do the work, as it
will be charged to the property.
The people of DEBORAH have done
excellent work in cleaning up their
yards and the alleys in the past, and
have shown that they have much
civic pride, and we feel that the
spring of 1920 will show them MAX
ing greater efforts to beautify De-
corah, one of Iowa's best and most
picturesque cities.
Respectfully,
r. BUCKNELL, Mayor.

Death Martha Observation-Disclosures

Rev. II. NJ. Norman, of Cresco,
sends us the following obituary not
fee of Mrs. Martha Hjemdahl- Hend-
erson.
Monday, April 10, occurred the
funeral of Mrs. Martha Henderson.
Rev. II. NJ. Normann, her pastor,
| conducted devotion in Steen Hender-
sons home where the deceased pas
sed her last months. The funeral SER
vices were held in the Orleans Luth-
eran church where Mrs. Henderson
belonged. Rev. Normann preached in
English, choosing as his text, 81. 4,
s. Il have fought good fight, l
have finished my course, l have kept
the faith; henceforth there is laid
up for me crown of righteousness,
which the Lord, the righteous judge,
shall give me at that day, and not
me only, but unto all them also that
love his appearance"
The pastor pointed out the faith
full, pious, humble and sincere char
acter of this pioneer Christian, an
example for our emulation.
Rev. o. T. Doe, son-in-law of the
deceased, spoke with much feeling in
behalf of the family, He based his
remarks on Ruth 1,S.-The Lord
deal kindly with you, as We have
dealt with the dead and with me.
The Lord grant you that We may find
rest"
In spite of the bad roads many
people came both to the house and
to the church. There was an album
dance of flowers.
Martha Henderson, nee Hjemdahl.
was born in Hjemdahl, Norway, ON
April 20, 1916, the parents being An
drew Hjemdahl and wife Agatha,
nee Roed. She was married on July
), 1866, to Andrew Henderson and
came to America in 1866. They set
tied in Winneshiek county and lived
here ever since. Mr.. Henderson died
Oct. 26. 1900, and the wife died
April 10, 1920, FIVE days before her
74th birthday. She is survived by
brother and sister in Norway, and
eleven children here, viz: Mrs. Hat

Stevens Point, Wis. and Mrs. O. T.
Doe, Milan. Mimi.
Mrs. Henderson had taken her
share of the work of building up this
community.
One more of the pioneers has pas
sed to her reward. May the present
generation revere the memory of
those who passed before them, and
who laid the foundations both for
church and for state upon which We
are now building our social, moral
and industrial structure. Only by
faithful attention to the welfare OF
the church and the state can the pre-
sent generation show their true ap-
probation for the work done by the
pioneers.
