From the day that a young man starts
out to seek his first position to the end of
his business life, his health has world to
do with his success. When Young man
applies to business man for a position, his
personal appearance has a deal to do with
the outcome. Personal appearance" does
not mean dress alone. It does not mean
exterior cleanliness alone. A young man
may be clean, SO far as soap and water will
make him, but be disfgured by unsightly
pirnples, eruptions and alterations on the
skin. These are due to impurities in the
blood. The blood becomes impure because
it is improperly nourished. Instead of
receiving the life-giving elements of the
food, it receives the foul emanations of
indigestion, bilousness and costiveness.
The reason that DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is the best remedy for
disorders of this description is that it goes
right to first causes. 1t gives man an
appetite like horse" It facilitates the
flow of digestive juices. It corrects all
disorders of the digestion, and makes the
assimilation of the life giving elements
of the food perfect. 1t invigorates the
liver. 1t purifes and enriches the blood.
1t makes the muscles strong and active.
1t tones and steadies the nerves. 1T makes
young man look as he should-strong of
body, alert of brain and clean and whole

and have nothing "just as good"

IOWA STATE NEWS
MAIL CARRIER SHOT.
Earl Milton Attacked by Highway
men While Making IA Trip from
Blessing to Reinbeck.

Earl Milton, a 16-year-old mail carrier
from Blessing, Black Hawk county, to
Reinbeck, was shot from ambush while
making trip, and it is feared he is
dangerously wounded. Milton makes
the trip in light buggy, and left Rein
beck at the usual hour in the morning.
When within half mile of Blessing,
while passing a dense thicket, two
men stepped out in front of him. One
leveled revolver and fired. Milton
struck the horse blow with the whip
and managed to escape. The bullet
entered the hip and lodged in the groin.
Medical aid was summoned as soon as
he reached the town and a posse start
ed in pursuit of the assailants, but
nothing could be found of them. An at
tempted hold-up was made upon Milton
at the same place about three weeks
ago, but Milton escaped by defending
himself vigorously, striking one of the
men with an iron spur used by tele-
graph repairers, which happened to be
in the buggy. Milton says the men
who stopped him the last time were
the same who attempted the hold-up
three weeks ago and that he can iden-
tify them if they are caught.

THOSE WHO BEG.

In old days professional beggars had
an unhappy time of it. In Greece and
Rome they We're logged or put to work
In the mines. The ancient Germans led
beggars into the marches and left them
there to starve.
When Henry VIII. was king the
gypsies came to England. The common
people thought they We're magicians and
conjurers and the gypsies lived high.
Within few years they had organized
into dangerous bands, with meeting
places and set rules.
In The middle ages organized charity
was unknown and aims were given in
discriminatory. This put a premium on
begging and the craft throva. In some
places permits were issued the needy
poor, giving them the right to beg, and
these permits were often forged.
America is not so good a field for
beggars as the continent Of Europe
Rome was the happy hunting ground for
beggars until quite recently. One sum
mer the police there arrested 600 Of
them. At present China Is the best place
for one to 60 who fancies begging as a
profession. The police never interfere
and in some Of the cities the beggars
form regular guilds with king and

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con,
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets infiamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed deafness is the
result. and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
