ingmen because they voted for reso-
luton favoring the obnoxious measure.
People in Wapello county who have
given this matter thought, however, say
that the Impression which the laboring
r1en have received is entirely erroneous.
In proof Of this statement they say that
the laboring men are, as a rule not the
ones who seek aid from the county. The
iaborlng man with a family, they say,
generally has a bank account, however
small and that he draws upon this in
case of sickness or other trouble.
This statement is borne out by con-
sulting the books of G. A. Hyatt, over.
seer of the poor in this county. 1t is
found that nearly all the people who re-
teive aid from the county are widows or
women whose husbands are INDECENT In
very few cases Is the name of man

A CAUSE OF HEADACHE.
Ono Very Common Cause Generally
overlook cd.


overlook ed.
Headache is q symptom, an indication
OF arrangement or disease in some or
gan. and the cause Of the headache Is
difficult to locate because SO many dis
eases have headache as prominent
symptom: arrangement Of the stomach
and liver. heart trouble. kidney disease.
lung trouble, eye strain or ill-fitting
glasses all produce headaches. and II we
could always locate the organ which is
at fault the cure Of obstinate headaches
would be q much simpler matter.
However, for that form Of headache
called frontal headache, pain back of the
eyes and in the forehead. the cause is
now known to be catarrh of the head
and throat; when the headache is To-
Gated in the back OF the head and neck
stomach or liver.
AT any rate catarrh is the most COM
non cause OF such headaches and the
cure of the catarrh causes prompt dis
appearance Of the headaches.
There is at present no treatment for
cstarrh SO convenient and effective as
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a new internal
remedy In tablet form, composed OF an
t:septics like eucalyptol, guaiacol and
blood root, which act upon the blood
end cause the elimination of the ca
tarrhal poison from the system thru the
natural channels.
Miss Cora Ainsley, a prominent school
teacher in one Of our normal schools,
speaks of her experience with catarrhal
headaches and eulogizes Stuartss Ca
tarrh Tablets as q cure for them. She
says: suffered daily from severe from
tai headache and pain in and back of
the eyes, at times so intensely as to in
capacitate me in my daily duties. had
suffered from catarrh, more or less. for
years. but never thought it was the
cause of my headaches, but finally be-
came convinced that such was the case,
because the headaches were always
attack of catarrh.
"Stuart's Catarrh Tablets We're highly
recommended to me as a safe and pleas
ant catarrh cure and after using few
a0-cent boxes which 1 procured from my
druggists was surprised and delighted
70 find that both the catarrh and head
aches had gone for good
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by
druggists at so cents per package UNI
Ger the guarantee of the proprietors that
they contain absolutely no cocaine
Gound in so many catarrh cures), no
opium ESQ common in cheap cough
cures), nor any harmful drug They con-
tain simply the wholesome antiseptics
necessary to destroy and drive from the
system the germs Of catarrhal disease.

sT1Rs UP UNIONS.
Action OF Supervisors Convention
Relative TO Pnuper Children Cons


Action of Supervisors, Convention
!. Relative to Pauper Children Cons
demned.
The. recent state convention of super
yisors held in this city adopted a res
Iolution favoring a law giving county
board control of and the right to place
The. children of paupers in other fans
lilies. This action has created wide.
discussion tilruout the state and the la
Dor unions have taken the matter up.
and propose TO combat the efforts to Sc
cure legislation along this line The
unions are opposing the giving of au-
thority to supervisors TO place children
i'm either new homes or charitable insti-
tufions
The srasolution vas introduced in the
convention by a supervisor from Scott
county. one of the Wapelo county SUI
pervisors has been interviewed by the
Ottumwa Courier relative. 10 the action
of the Marshalltown convention. with
the following result:
The affair caused much COMMENT.
said Mr.. McE!roy and several good
rea sons were. given in savorof the SUI
peryisors taking positiye action in the
matter. ii seems reasonable thar a
man who applies for help from the
county virtually admits that he is UNI
able to care for his children, and Ii also.
saern4 that ii is better for the children
TO be placed In good homes. where they
will be treated kindly and he well pro-
5vided for. than TO. them 10 live With
their parents. where they can no; have
the benefits of education and would be
stinted mentally and. perhaps morally.
AT the convention at Marshalltown.,
Mr.. McElroy continued. .several Of
those pres.ent told of Instances where
children were taken from their homes
in such cases and nut into homes where
they had better chance to make some
thing OF themselves and the. expert
ments have proved successful.
The matter was thoroughly discussed
and the majority of those in attendance
at the meeting were of the opinion that
1T should be handled in the manner IN
dicated AS far as Wapello county Isl
concerned / think no action will be
,aken. We nov pay $3.50 per year to
an institution at De. Moiness for the
support of the poor children In this
county under fourteen years of age. and
this. 1t seems to US. is a good way of ar
ranging the matter. However, agree
with the majority, that some provision
should be made for taking care of these
children. and that it would be for the
betterment of all concerned
The question, since it was raised at
the Marshalltown convention. contin-
ues the Courier, has caused much talk

SKIN DISEASES.
Simple Precautions by Which They
May he Prevented

Among the most common diseases of
the skin are acne and eczema, one of
which is known to be aud the other
probably is the result of the presence
of ncrobe on or in the skin This
nlcrobe is a vegetable growth, although
very minute one, and, like other nox-
icus weeds. when once it has been plant
ed and has begunsto grow it is often ex-
rremey difficult to dislodge it.
Every flrmer knows that it is easier
to keep a field clean by constant care
than to clear it after it has once been
overgrown with weeds. 1t is the same
with the skin. 1t is easier to keep the
skin in health and to arrest u commenc
ing disease than to cure Il disease once
it has become firmly established.
If it We're generally understood that
the presence of n few pimples constitutes
true skin disease, which, if neglected,
will probably grow worse, fewer persons
would suffer from the Disagreement of
acne.
The skin is much like the system in
general. If it is III good condition, it
will repel the assaults of disease. but
II neglected it becomes less resistant
and soon offers a favorable soil for the
growth of noxious germs
The skin is one of the so called ex-
crctory organs. and il the other organs
of similar function kidneys and the
bowels-do not perform their work prop.
erly an undue proportion of the waste
products Of the body must be got rid of
through the pores of the skin. This
throws work upon the integnment which
it is not accustomed TO perform. and it
soon becomes diseased in consequence.
The first thing necessary to keep the
skin well is 10 maintain the health of
the body by exercise, cleanliness, fresh
air day aud night, good food properly
cooked. a sufficient amount OF sleep and
suitable clothing. In addition to these
general measures the skin itself should
receive special attention in the way of a
daily bath, followed by vigorous rubbing
with a coarse towel or flesh brush.
Some persons have naturally clear
skins, while others appear to have a
special predisposition to black heads and
pimples. The fortunate ones must see to
it that they do not mar what nature has
given them by an unhygienic mode of
life, but the others need not despair, for
their tendency to eruptions may often
be overcome by scrupulous care both OF
the body and of the skin itself. after
the manner above indicated aud in such
other ways as the physician may direct
