Mrs. lane LANCE

Mrs. Jane Lange, by so many
affectionately known as Grandma
Lange, was born in Liverpool,
England on November 10, 1874. 1t
was in England that she was con-
verted to Christ as a child, grew
to womanhood and married. She
was united in marriage to Fred
rich Wilhelm Lange of Maple
town, N. D., on January %, 1898.
Mr.. LANCE was a sailor by pro-
fesSion. Two children were born
to the Langes while still in Eng
land, a son, Thomas and a daugh-
ter, Alberena.
Mrs. LANCE left England in 1910,
coming to the United States and
making her home in Montana.
First living at Marco, then NOV
ing on to Crane Creek on the Fred
Chousee place where the second
son, William James was born, later
moving to the Boshard farm and
years after that to the Humphry
farm where she resided until she
moved to Savage 6 years ago.
She became a nurse, midwife
and maid to many a household IL
Dawson and Richland county from
1916 and on, often going when she
herself was i'll. Always she seem
ed happy to help another when il
need and if possible for her to de
anything.
Grandma LANCE was taken tt

en- weeks ago. She attended par
or all of Sunday school but com.
planned of not feeling so well. AT.

study of $4,000 routine hospital ad-
missions III the u. S. showed that
one out of every 8 patients had ane-
mia. For some reason anemia seems
more widespread in women than in
men.
Fortunately the most common
types of anemia are the ones physi-
eians are best able to treat. Better
diet has helped cut down on iron
deficiency anemia, but diet alone
will not cure it. Scientists have
found that dietary and similar def
ciencies are seldom single. A diet
lacking in one nutrient will usually
be defective in several.
That's why the treatment of ane-
mia is moving into a new stage. A
study made by DR.. M. M. Rath of
East Orange, N. j., revealed that
using a combination of agents
makes the treatment of anemia
more effective. Roetinic is a new
combination of vitamins and miner
ais aimed at all the treatable ane-
MAS. 1t combines into a single cap
sule ten nutritional factors essential
to normal blood formation, accord
ing to DR.. Robert Peterman, medi.
cal director of j. B. Roerig and
Company.
As most simple anemias are
caused by a deficiency of one OF
more of these factors, the presence
