Brief rIentIon Of Two Of sArdrore's
Best krown Medical fien.

The Christmas Edition OF the
ARDMoREfTE would be incomplete
without some reference to the med
ical profession
Among the physicians of Ard
more who have taken first rank. is
DIR. Walter Hardy.
DIR. Hardy's success is due part
ly to his alma mater and subse-
quent courses in medicine, and
partly to the man himself. : He
graduated from ths Missouri Med
ical College of st. Louis in 1898.
/ and began the practice Of his pro-
fession in this city directly after
ward. At intervals from that time
to the present, he has attended
! lectures delivered by the most dis
tinguished medical scientists in
America. DIR. Hardy, like other
prominent physicians, is devoted
to his life work and is profound
student, knowing full well that
constant, unremitting study is alb
solutely essential in modern prac-
tice. DIR. Hardy's Office is well
equipged with the most up-to- date
appliances. used in the treatment
and cure of human ills.
Associated with DIR. Hardy in
the practice of medicine. is DIR.
Jerome C. McNees, gentleman of
recognized ability in his profess
sion and one who keeps abreast
with the advanced ideas and meth
DDS of the day.
DIR. Hardy and his associate,
DR.. McNees, enjoy the full conf
dence and esteem of the public
in their professional capacity as
we'll as in private life. They have
large and ever growing practice.
and their we'll deserved success is
proof sufficient of their great skill
as mem bers of that most noble of
professions, the practice of med
icine, to which the saying can
most truthfully be applied, There
is always room at the top"

ties OF electric bitters has cured Mrs.
Brewer Of scrofula, which had caused
or great suffering for years. Terrible
ores would break out over her head
and face, and the best doctors could
give her no help; but her cure is com.

This shows what thousands have
proved that electric bitters is the
best blood purifier known. It's the SUI

The county superintendent-elect in
Guthrie county, republican, was
counted out last week by the contest
board which is composed Of the board
of supervisors. The result is unsatis-
factory to most republicans there and
it ought to be to voters generally. In
one township abort hundred repub-
hcan voters used stickers to supply the
name of candidate for a township
Office. They did this by the knowledge
and approval of the judges of election.
When these ballots came up before
this contest board they are all thrown
out on superintendent, thus turning
the scale and defo ating the will of a
majcrith of the voters. 1t is glazing
injustice and if carried to district court
would not be sustained. Judge Thomp-
son, of the Jones, Linn, Cedar district
passed on nearly identical case about
five years ago.

1t is beautiful, commodious and taste

sign perfectly and will endure for
centuries. The historical collection
which is constantly growing can there

appropriate little money to give the
new building the proper furniture.

Senator John H. Gears denomination
Monday and reelection which will
follow Saturday, is satisfactory to a
majority of the party in Iowa. As
between Gear and Cummins there is
scarcely doubt but that the prefer
ence is for the former. The contest
has been stubbornly fought and some
bitterness has been left, but that will
soon pass away. Mr.. Cummins is an
accomplished gentleman, an able law
yer and an orator, and has a great per-
sonal following We do not think
that he is great politician, else he

The Register fiercely denounced the
open ballot at the house caucus Sat
urday night. The secret ballot is all
right for the citizen as he casts his
ballot at the polls, but the legislator
is acting in different capacity. The
one answers only to his conscience, the
other to his conscience and his con-
stituents. The latter have right to
know how he votes on important mat
ters. There should be no conceal
ment of his vote.

The Carroll Herald says the ballot
law must be amended. 1t says the
recent contest there has resulted in
throwing out seven per cent of the
votes. 1t does seem that the present
ballot and the rules governing its use
result in too many people losing their
votes. However, We want to be very
sure we are right before we make any
more changes, for every change intro
duces something else new which has
to be learned by the voters, and which
is confused by the previous plan, thus
leading to new mistakes.
