No one can realize the suffering attendant upon an attack of the grip, unless he has had the actual experience. There is probably no disease that causes so much physical and mental agony, or which so successfully defies medical aid. All danger from the grip however, may be avoided by the prompt use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy, not one case has ever been reported that has resulted in pneumonia or that has not recovered. For sale by all drug-gists.

Let the greatest athlete have dyspepsia and his muscles would soon fail. Phyllis H. has insufficient food he loses strength. If he has no food he dies. Food is contamined such and bowels. It depends on the strength of the stomach to what extent it can absorb food. People can die of starvation who have abundant food to eat, when the stomach is full. Nutrition do not perform their duty. Thus the stomach is really the vital organ, the body will be weak also, because it is upon the stomach the body relies for its energy. It is made up of its vital members and organs, so the weakness of the body as a consequence of weak *stomach* organs which compose the body. If the body is weak because it is ill-nourished and all the organs—heart, liver, kidneys, etc. The liver will be torpid and inactive, the heart will be weak nerves, feeble or irregular action of heart, palpitation, dizziness, headache, and kindred disturbances and weaknesses. A small girl who attends a sunny school class in a Van Ness Avenue church came excitedly into the room one Sunday and told the teacher she had been reminded that she "must be afraid of a dog. Suppose you lived in a savage country where lions and bears run about?" "I wouldn't like it," promptly answered the child; "I would be afraid of a dog." "Oh, yes," said the teacher, who went on to tell how missionaries risk their lives to go out and make Christians of the natives of such dangerous localities. The little girl went home when she said: "I guess I'd rather telephone if I was a missionary." PAIN IN THE JOINTS Rheumatic Tortures Cease When Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Make New Blood. The first sign of rheumatism is frequently a pain and swelling in one of the joints. If not combed in the blood, which is the seat of the disease, the poison spreads, affecting other joints and tissues. Sometimes rheumatism attacks the body but fails. The one remedy that has cured rheumatism so that it stays cured is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These pills expel the poison from the blood and restore the system, so that the poisonous matter is passed off as nature intended. Mrs. I. T. Pitcher, of No. 12 Monmouth street, Newark, N. J., suffered for about three years from rheumatism before she found this cure. She says: It began with a queer feeling in my knee. I was told that the funger joints had lumps on them and I could not get my gloves on. Then it grew worse and spread to my knees. I could not stand up and I could not sleep nights. My suffering was more than I can describe. I took a great deal of medicine, but nothing even I tried until I tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. "I read an account of a cure in a case that really like mine and my husband got me some of the pills. I took them for three weeks before I really felt better, but her family erased it. Mr. Pitcher, who is a veteran and a member of E. D. Morgan Post, No. 207 of New York, substantiates his wife's statement and says that she now walks without difficulty, whereas a year ago he was compelled to push her about in a lawsuit that painfully erased it. Both Mr. and Mrs. Pitcher are enthusiastic in their pills of Dr. Williams' Pink pills. For further information, address the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N.Y.

International complications are to be regretted, but they are invaluable in giving reputations to towns like Portsmouth and Algeciras. Mayor McClellan has given jobs to forty New York newspaper men. Now there ought to be standing room on the Park Row sidewalks. Santo Domingo lost five generals in one battle. This would cripple an ordinary country, but down there every man is born general.

President Castro didn't invite the French minister to his party, and the minister declares Castro is biting his thumbs at France. Bring on a warship.

A Canadian critic says that Mr Henry James, who has been finding fault with American common speech, is a dogmatist. That's kinder than calling him a curmudgeon.

ADDRESSES THE LEGISLATORS Ex-Governor Jackson and Governor Cummins also Speak—Ex-Governors Boies and Shaw Sand Regesta —A Great Demonstration. Des Molnes, Jan. 21. —Former Governor William Larrabee was honored by the legislature of Iowa yesterday in a manner unique in the history of the state. The occasion was his 74th birthday anniversary and he was the guest of honor at an official reception tendered by the legislature in joint session. Former Governor Frank D. Jackson and Governor Cummins participated in the ceremonies and Governor Larrabe, upon invitation, addressed the assembly upon public questions. Later, he and his family were guests at a social reception held by the members of the assembly and the state officers at the capitol. Telegrams of regret were received by the assembly from Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw and Horace Bose, former governors, who had been invited to attend the ceremony. Never before did official Iowa pause to confer this sort of honor upon a lifetime. The Governor Larrabe expressed the deepest sense of appreciation and gratification. In the course of his address he urged the assembly to pass a law abolishing the free railroad pass, and declared that in his judgment a judicial officer who accepts a pass as an indirect means of bribery, and regarded it as one of the means used by the few to take into their own hands the reins of government. Governor Larrabee recalled the laws passed by Iowa when he was a member of the legislature, giving to him the power to ratify rates. It has been the model for a score of years and Governor Larrabee said that he thought it a good model for the congress of the United States to adopt. Indeed, he wished that the railroad rate regulation question now pending at Washington put under the legislature for solution, declaring that he believed more satisfactory results could be obtained than may be expected from congress. Governor Larrabee urged the assembly to establish a sanatorium for constructors in Iowa, to lose no opportunity to work from the state and liberally to treat the educational institutions. WANTS CANDIDATES TO FILE STATEMENT WANTS CANDIDATES TO FILE STATEMENT Des Moines, Jan. 23—Representative Teter of Marion county offered a bill yesterday requiring all candidates for office to be voted for at any caucus, primary, or election authorized by law, by any elector of the state of Iowa, to file with the county auditor of the county in which he resides a verified statement of his campaign expenses. According to the bills the statement must include the expenses incurred for or on behalf of the candidate, the caucus, primary, or election, and all assessments by any person, committee or organization in charge of the candidate's campaign. Mr. Teter's bill says specifically that its terms shall not be construed to prohibit any candidate for representative or senator in the congress of the United States, or for any public office created by the constitution of the United States, and thus making this legitimate assessment for the purpose of defraying the expenses of holding and conducting public meetings for the discussion of public questions, nor for the conveyance of voters to and from polling places. But it is, added that these assessments must not in the aggregate exceed a sum to be deferred. For five thousand (5,000) voters or less, one hundred dollars ($100); for each one hundred (100) voters over five thousand (5,000) and under twenty-five thousand voters (25,000) one dollar and fifty cents ($1.50); for each one hundred voters over twenty-five thousand ($25,000) one dollar ($1), and nothing additional for voters over fifty thousand ($50,000). BRAVES THE COLD WITHOUT CLOTHES Des Molines, Jan. 25.—Imagining that enemies were trying to take his life, John Keck, an inmate of Dr. Hill's Retreat, Thirty-eighth street and Grand avenue, removed all his clothes, hurried to the street and ran and walked three miles through the ice and snow Tuesday night. His cries and screams aroused people on the Murrow farm west of the city limits at 2 o'clock yesterday morning, and he found Keck lying in the snow this afternoon, his feet ears frozen.

GEO. D. PERKINS OUT FOR GOVERNOR Sloux City, Jan. 23.-At a mass meeting at the court house last evening, the people of Sloux City in speeches and resolutions called on George D. Perkins, editor of the Sloux City Journal, to stand as a candidate for the republican nomination for governor. The meeting was marked by much enthusiasm. Among the speakers were H. A. Sawyer, A. B. Thatcher, J. N. Weaver, J. U. Sammels, Judge William Hutchinson, C. W. Britton, J. W. Halam, and Rev. Dr. W. S. Lewis. Craig L. Wright presented the resolution which called for the appointment of a committee to communicate the action of the meeting to Mr. Perkins. Mr. Perkins agreed to be a candidate. This is his first formal announcement. J. L. Ehlers of Correctionville was the chairman of the meeting and W. E. Cody was secretary. On the editorial page of the Journal this morning Mr. Perkins prints over his signature an announcement of his retirement, a celebration of the enthusiastic support of his friends. He declares himself for harmony in state affairs and subscribes to Roosevelt's aphorism: "A man is a man, George D. Perkins is 65 years of age." URGES BUILDING OF NEW ASYLUM Des Moines, Jan. 26.—The legislative committee which visited the institution for feeble-minded children at Glenwood recommends to the general assembly that a new institution of like character be established in the north or northeastern part of the state. The committee does not make a suggestion as to whether this new institution should be along the identical lines of the Glenwood establishment or should be an epileptic colony. It is not committed on this proposition. It merely recognizes the need of additional facilities for adequately caring for this class of defectives. Both the board of control and the Glenwood management have urged the establishment of a colony for epileptics. They figure that it will require a large number of at the insane hospitals. The new establishment of such a colony would not cost more than the additions necessary to the other five institutions if the colony is not established. EXPLOSION IN A FT. DODGE SALOON Ft.

ONLY DISTILLERY IN IOWA IS OPENED Oksalaoka, Jan. 21.-Under the supervision of Deputy Revenue Collector Boor B of Burlington the machinery in the only distillery in Iowa was set in motion on Saturday. The first run will be scheduled for tomorrow and will be started today. William Lindley has been appointed gauger.

Curtis of Ames and Henry Wallace appeared before the joint session of the senate and house committees on roads and high ways yesterday afternoon. They spoke in favor of the split or King road drag.

Under the press ent law, the road supervisor contracts for the road work; a change is desired that the owners of propry adjacent to country roads may maintain the roads with a split log; drag and receive credit for this work. The committee decided to appoint a county committee of six to draft such a bill. Valued Policy Bill Dead.

The plodding farmer may be slow, but in the end, in his race with other lines of industry that seem to hold out brighter promises, he always seems to come out as did the patient tortoise in his race with the hare. The latest illustration of this comes from Colorado, a state where love lives and dazzling the world with the riches of its gold and silver mines. The annual reviews of Colorado's progress show that in 1905 the state produced the greatest amount of gold of any year in its history, a total of $29,000,000. But in the same year, the grain and potatoes, hay and often produce from Colorado farms agri-tech companies, in 1905 Silver was higher in value than for several years, and the production of this metal in Colorado rose to $11,000,000, but the combined product of the orchards and sugar beet patches beat the total of silver by $1,500,000. Five million 'dollars' worth of lead was marketed, which is just about equal to the value of the fat lamb shipped from Colorado, and the metalliferous mines of the state was $43,000,000. The products of the farms aggregated more than $70,000,000. More money is being invested in agricultural projects in Colorado than in the development of mines. Reservoirs and canals originally planned for placer mining have been diverted to irrigation, and the next few years seem like to see the area of highways more than doubled. The "man with the hoe" seems to have secured a start over the man with the hammer and drill, the latter will never be able to overcome, unless some very remarkable new discoveries of mines are made.

When a ruined gambler kills himself at Monte Carlo the employees of the Casino, to avoid a seasand, fill his pockets with gold and bank-notes. Thus the real cause of his suicide does not appear. A Yankee came to Monte Carlo with about one hundred dollars in five-franc pieces. He lost the money slowly and painfully, and late that night, in a black corner of the gardens, he fired a revolver, and, with a loud groan, fell full length on the grass. Instantly three or four dark, silent figures rushed up, filled his pockets with money, and left him to be disoriented the morning by the police. But late morning the enterprising Yankee, his pockets distended with gold, had shaken the dust of Monte Carlo from his feet. THE LITTLE WIDOW A Mighty Good Sort of Neighbor to Have. "A little widow, a neighbor of mine, persuaded me to try Grape-Nuts when my stomach was so weak that it would not retain food of any other kind," writes a grateful woman, from San Bernardino Co., Cal. "I had been ill and confined to my bed with fever and nervous prostration for three long months after the birth of my second boy. We were in despair until the little widow's advice brought relief. "I liked Grape-Nuts food from the beginning, and in an incredibly short time it gave me such strength that I was able to leave my bed and enjoy my three good meals a day. In two months my weight increased from 95 to 113 pounds, my nerves had steadied down and I felt ready for anything. My neighbors were amazed to see me gain so much strength when they heard that Grape-Nuts alone had brought the change. "My 4-year-old boy had eczema, very bad, last spring and lost his appetite entirely, which made him cross and peevish. I put him on a diet of Grape-Nuts, which he relished at once. He improved from the beginning, the eczema disappeared and now he is fat and rosy, with a delightfully soft clear skin. The Grape-Nuts diet did it. I will willingly answer all inquiries."

C., Jan. 24.—With ninety-four passengers and about sixty in her crew, the steamer Valencia went ashore about ten miles east of Cape Beale in a thick fog about 12 o'clock Monday night. She is in the rocks against a high cliff and is likely to go to pieces any time. One boat's crew of six men reached Cape Beale about 2 p. m. yesterday. The survivors say that a great number were drowned in trying to leave the ship Nine men got ashore about fifteen miles from here. Two men are prisoners on the face of the cliff and can not get up or back to the ship. The sea will probably reach them when the tide is high. The men report pathetic scenes. One woman dropped her child into the sea in trying to hand it to her husband. A little boy of 5 years is running around the deck trying to find his mother who is about 125 persons on the chip, with almost certain death staring them in the face. The steamer Queen left yesterday at 5 p. m. for the wreck. The meteorological station reports that a gale has been in progress on the island coast for the past two weeks, with a locality of forty miles an hour was reported. A tremendous sea sweeps in near Cape Beale in heavy weather, with heavy breakers. It is reported that the whaling steamer Orion has arrived at the coast, and the whaling station at Secht and is trying to save as many lives as possible. Vivitoria, Jan. 25.—Of the 154 people on board the steamer Valencia when she struck near Kanaway Rock, five miles from Cage Beale, at 11:45 o'clock on Monday night and met a daster, but fifteen were saved. Seven were passengers and eight were mormon. The boat was dead at 139, the greatest loss of life in the North Pacific since the Pacific was lost in 1875. The Valencia, in whose rigging about thirty were clinging frantically waving for assistance which could not be given when the steamer Queen left the scene at 11:30 a.m., boke up about o'clock yesterday, sweeping to death those few who had survived these terrible hours of privation, of the human endurance by clouds of spray which swept over them. The tug Loon which Mayor Money sent at 11 o'clock last night, after the sad news was brought by the Queen of men clinging to the rigging of the partially submerged vessel, and the blue jackets who went on her by or on the ship, to Eggeria, with surf boats to endeavor to reach the wreck, will arrive too late, as the sea had claimed all before the Queen rescued Victoria. Seattle, Wash. Jan. 26.—A special representative of the Port-Intelligence telegraphs from Port Angeles that the rescue ship CITY of Topeka picked up a little raft at 10 o'clock Wednesday evening, six miles off Cape Beale, with twenty survivors of the Valencia on board. The men were in a pitable condition, and almost dead from the survivors at the Vancouver island and nine at the Darling river telegraph hut. Washington, D. C., Jan. 25—When the smoke of the liveliest legislative battle of the session had cleared up in the house yesterday Speaker Cannon and his organization were in complete control and the joint stateation had been adopted. Forty-three states had adopted the bill and republican "insurgents" went down to defeat, having voted vainly with the democrats to gain control of the rule, the terms of which are to govern the statehood bill in its passage through the house. The vote ordering the previous question on the rule was 50-50, and the rule clearly defeated the opposition, the full strength of which was polled, and little interest was taken in the vote for the adoption of the rule which immediately followed and was carried by a majority of 30. Previous to the vote the debate or the rule had proceeded under high tense in the speeches were short but the words uttered were hot and of sting. The veterans, Payne, Dazell, and Grosvenor, upheld the organization. Pitted against them were the leaders of the insurgents, Babcoe, Mondell and Jones of Washington. Mr Tawney, one of the erstwhile insurgents, arrose and announced his quiescence in the will of the organization and Mark Smith, the veteran delegate from Arizona, just as sorority leaders in the state as "the most unkind thrust of air." The rule adopted provided that the bill granting statehood to Oklahoma and Indian territory as Oklahoma, and Arizona and New Mexico as Arizona should be debated until 3 o'clock to day and then voted upon without opportunity for amendment.

COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR SHADOWS. The New Year is here and with it same, good resolutions and plans for the next twelve months. The coming year will give an opportunity to make up for any shortcomings of the one that has passed beyond recall. Let the new year be an improvement on the old one. The New Year will be one full of interest for Iowa club women and we must enter club life with more zeal and activity and progress more rapidly this year than ever before. We must prepare to meet two great club meet this year, the Iowa State Federation which meets at Des Moines, May 28, 30 and the National Association of Colored Women, which meets at Detroit, Michigan in July. We want a large delegation of interested women attend each of these meetings. At the last meeting of the National Association of which was held in St. Louis in 1904, Iowa sent only three delegates, while Rhode Island and California, those far away const states were so interested in the worked that they sent the same number of delegates a distance of over a thousand miles. Only one state had a smaller delegation than Iowa and that was Utah. We want Iowa to be well represented in the National this year. Each club is entitled to a representative for every ten members and the state a representative for each ten clubs in the National. At present we have only four clubs in the National, we want to have twenty by July. We can earnly entreat all clubs to unite with the National Association. Help push forward the work so nobly begin, help swell the number of valiant workers for Negro progress help swell the finance that more aid may be given to the workers in crowded districts of the South. We must act with money and time, for let it be remembered that any work well done will call for sleepless nights, the sacrifice of money and many other things dear to us, let the clubs of the state take this into consideration at once. The organizer would be pleased to correspond with clubs on the subject IOWA FEDERATION. The work of the Iowa Federation is being carried on by ten standing committee. These committees and their work briefly outlined are follows. there are three classes of committees, those that aid the clubs of the state, those that engage directly in Federation work and those that do philanthropic work. Of the first class is the Art Craft, music Committee, Excellent educational work can be done by this committee, they collect books on art, photographs of master-pieces to be circulated among clubs in towns remote from galleries and libraries encouraging them to become acquainted with the better work of art, for a knowledge of pictures is as essential as knowledge of books. They also discourage the use of ragtime music and low forms of minstrel song, for by their use our taste becomes warped and seared and we do not appreciate good music, just as a child is educated step by step in school so we must endeavor to train our people to acquire a cultivated taste for the best music. The mothers child study committee aims to interest women in the study of child nature from a scientific standpoint. No subject is more worthy. The early influence of home life on men and women is universally admitted to be the largest controlling factor in their character, temperament and final success in life. The biographies of great men tell, almost without exception of the wise guidance in youth by mother. We should remember our mother's department and if we have not mothers' clubs in every city let us at least have mother's meeting in every club. This committee should send out an outline for study quarterly brimful of helpful suggestions on how the child develops, faults and their remedies, character building, children's associates, studies and accomplishments religious training act. The household economics committee does all the educational work possible in the raising of the standard of home. They send out an outline giving suggestion for a course of study each year. These outlines if followed would certainly bring good results. To all home makers present or prospective who have not had the advantage of careful home training, study of household economics is imperative and even for such fortunate ones, further study is necessary to acquire modern ideas of sanitation the laws of hygiene and the treatment of sickness. The social purity committee endeavor to raise the moral standard of the race by sending out papers, circulates ect. to the clubs, these to be read before the clubs and used to the best advantage in their community. The clubs are asked to hold special meetings for young men and women and have talks on temperance, the chains of habit, personal charity ect. The educational committee could have under its supervision the preparation of circular, leaflets, or tracts on all issues of work, to improve a careful and worthy preparation these could be paid for or written for prizes. The growing number of our student nurses, doctors dentist and teachers furnish a field from which much could be called for use and free distribution among the clubs who have not the talent for this work, and are in towns remote from libraries. Many cannot attend lectures or read essays, but would enjoy listening to or reading a short attractive simply woved article on any topic. These topic might be taken from outlines sent out by other committees. Every year there should be placed in Reciprocity Bureau by the educational committee at least a dozen papers, the reciprocity committee is an important committee. By this committee anything of real value or merit which the club work of one club brings forth is passed on to other clubs that they may get the value of it as well. The duty of the committee is to supply newly formed clubs and others with programs, constitutions, outlines of study, list of pretty club names, club mottoes, year books and exchange club papers, it is a bureau of general helpfulness. The chairman of this committee can do nothing, in fact has nothing to do unless the clubs do their duty. If your club has a good helpful paper and does not send it in you are selfish and not filled with the true club spirit. A copy of all papers, year books, constitutions etc. should be sent to the Reciprocity Bureau, Papers sent to the Bureau may be secured for two weeks for the small sum of five cents. The philanthropic and Club Extension Committee do what might be termed federation work, the former classifying and tabulating the philanthropic work done by the clubs aggrigate results of which forms of a report to be submitted to the Federation, the latter is busily engaged in extending the work of the Federation. No club is expected to be interested along all of these climes of federation work but in those points where you are interested, work with the federation as much as you can. And in outlining the committees must remember, we are not women of leisure, cannot give all our time to study and no club meeting holds over two hours, then make your outlines simple and to the point. The admixture comes to us. "Cut not too wide a swath, lest under strain, Ty sickle miss some goodly heads of grain." If we are to accomplish that which is concrete or practical, we must not scatter our efforts or allow ourselves to become general utility clubs. INCREASE YOUR MEMBERSHIP. It is a recognized fact, that strength lies in numbers as well as integrity of purpose one so I would urge each club to endeavor to increase your membership. Before we can act to advantage, we must be strong, we must have a large army of interested workers. We have twenty clubs enrolled upon our tablet, we should have at least six hundred members. To be of value in your community you need the co-operation of every woman. Let every member in the Federation, make this your immediate work get as many of your friends in your club as possible, they need to feel the benefit influence of club life and we need their help, their co-operation will give us a stronger foothold in the onward march of civilization.

More fatalities have their origin in or result from a cold than from any other cause. This fact alone should make people more careful as there is no danger whatever from a cold when it is properly treated in the beginning. For many years Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been recognized as the most prompt and effectual medicine in use for this disease. It acts on nature's plan, loosens the cough, relieves the lungs, rests the sections and aids nature in restoring the system to a healthy condition. Sold by all drugstores.
