TO CURE THE GRIP.
Advice of a FamousP Physician
First and foremost, REST.

First and foremost, REST.
Take care Of yourself. Your al.
ready weakened nerves want rest,
and must have it. If the attack is Sc
we're, go to bed and remain there.
More fatalities result from neglect of
this precaution than from any other
cause.
Eat sparingly. Your digestive or
gans are in no condition to take care
of large quantities OF food.
Drink plenty of pure, cold water. 1t
allays the fever, stimulates the kid
neys to action and opens up the pores
Of the skin. Keep the bowels open
with DR.. Miles Nerve and Liver Pills.
Take three doses OF DR.. Miles Ner,
vine per day, and IL you cannot sleep
take an extra dose at bed time. To
further control the fever, and to over.
come the peculiar aches and pains of
grip, use Dr.. Miles Pain Pills. They
act quickly and effectually, and nc
bad effects result from their use
These remedies have been thoroly
tested more than million times. and
their efficiency is thoro.y established
They never fail to give relief.
DR.. Miles remedies can be found
at any drug store, and they are sold
on a positive guarantee that first bot
tie or package benefits or money re
funded.

5O41 of the Iowa code, Justice Duncan
yesterday decided an interesting test
case, which is the first time any Iowa
courts have ruled on this matter.
Justice Duncan came to the conclu-
sion, however, in lack of any supreme
court ruling, that labor is property
and therefore overruled the demurrer.
When the case poceeded to trial it
was subsequently dismissed by the
magistrate, who held that the plaintiff
had failed to prove and fraud in Sc
curing the Iabor-property. Hence the
action fell thru.

Vince DODGE Sentenced.

Burlington, Feb. 14.-Judge Smyth
called Vincent Dodge up and, after
giving him some good advice, gave
him three months sentence in the
county Jail. Dodge was found guilty
of an assault with intent to commit
great bodily injury. He is the man,
it will be remembered, who shot his
wife thru the arm last fall. and his
light sentence is doubtless due to the
fact that it was shown that his wife
was about as bad as he, and that
what he did was in self-defense.

Washington, Feb. 15.-Judge A. R.
Dewey is a candidate for the supreme
bench, making the fourth candidate
in the field. Judge Dewey's candi-
dacy is supposed to have been inspir-
ed by the action of the supreme court
in sustaining the Dewey opinion in
the Titus amendment case. In addi-
ton to this the judge is being urged
by that part Of the First district OPP
posed to Col. D. j. Palmer. The an
nouncement does not come as sur
prise, because IT was known several
days ago that Judge Dewey had sery-
ed notice on Col. Palmer that he in
tended being a candidate. rs
