This Remedy For
My Own Neighbors
Their praise of this newer form of iron
has spread so rapidly that now,
after nine years, over 100000
people use it annually.

Years ago began to wonder at the
great number of my own friends ana
neighbors who were always ailing,
complaining and doctoring, without
ever seeming to get any better. botn
working men and their wives were
frequently all tired out In the evening,
and a great many were weak, nervous
and rundown. One had pains IN the
back and thought he had kidney
trouble Another had pains around the
heart, paIpitations and dizziness, and
was sure he was suffering from heart
disease. Still others nad severe head
aches, floating spots before the eyes,
tender spots along the spine and
great variety of alarming symptoms.
For years made a special study of this

In the old days people often took metallic

ASK FOR PREMIUM MONEY
County Commissioners Unable Il
Assist Watson Grange Fair.

Assist Watson Grange Fair.
Several members of the Watson
grange appeared before the county
commissioners Monday to ask for
county assistance in paying the pre-
miums at a fair which the grange
proposes to stage this fall.
The premium list of the grain fair
totals 1922, and the representatives of
the organization asked the county to
furnish one-half of that amount
S161-out of the $1,000 which the law
permits the county to spend from the
general fund in fair premiums.
The commissioners were advised,
however, that when the state legisla-
ture in 1915 allowed Shawnee county
to levy a special tax to be applied to
the expenses of the Kansas State Free
Fair, the provision for the spending
of the $500 from the general fund
was eliminated.
Therefore, altho expressing their in
terest in the grange fair. the commits
sioners declared their inability to COM
ply with the request fof money to as
sist it from the general fund of the
county.

OBSERVED GOLDEN
WEDDING ANNIvERSlTy

Fifty years ago Len Weeks and
his young bride started out on the
journey through life. The start was
made from the Ashley parsonage.
on February Ii, 1872 right after
Rev. Monroe had performed the GER
emony which made them one and
during those years, Len and his wife
have faced the clouds and sunshine
together so well that their friends
thought that it would be but fitting
to honor the occasion with little
celebration This was held at the
Weeks home on February IA and an
elegant chicken pie dinner was serv-
ed and memorable day enjoyed.
Among those present were: their
son. and wife, Mr.. and Mrs. c. W..
Weeks and their daughter and hus-
band, Mr.. and Mrs. l.. M. Sagendorf
of Greenville, their brothers-in-law,
Rube Bradish, Preserved Curtis and
John Arnwine. Another son, Guy
Weeks, of Plymouth, was unable to
be present on account of illness.
A gift of $40 in god was received
from Mr.. and Mrs. Guy Weeks and
like amount from Mr.. and Mrs. c..
w. Weeks, Mr.. and Mrs. L. M. Sa.
gendorf presented the couple with
a beautiful dining room lamp and
the neighbors sent in $5 gold piece.
Two poems, one by Ed. Sagendorf
and another by one Of the neighbors
which were read during the day
were as follows:
Fifty years on the pathway of life,
We have travelled together as hus-
band and wife.
Some days have been sad and dreary
And often our feet have been tired
and weary.
Sometimes the temptation has been
strong,
Four our steps to go in the wrong.
But we have kept up valiant fight,
Steering straight for the Beacon
light,
And as we look back on the years
gone by,
We feel we may not murmur or sigh.
We have done the best we could,
And have received the reward any
one should.
Who has been led by the Fathers
guiding hand,
Knowing He will bring US safe TO
the promised land.
And if for many years our lives
should be spared,
We know a long life here is not to
be compared
To the life over on the other side,
Prepared for those who in His love
abide.
