To succeed NTcCutcheon.

Rock Islanders who watch the ath-
letic side of Iowa state university
life are interested in the search that
is being made for the right man to
succeed Fred {. McCutcheOn as gen
eral manager. Mr.. McCutcheon has
gone into business at Holstein. Ia,
and wants to let go of the work he
has done so well for the university
for several years past. He has made
athletics a source of income rather
than expense TO the school. Among
the possibilities for his successor are
Donald McClain. of Iowa City, aSsis-
tant manager to Manager McCutch-

DEAL FOR PURCHASE

Editor Fred Swenson of the Rock
fords Poster, has returned home
after 4 conference with Prof. {. y.
Wendell in regard to the purchase
of the Rockford paper.
Details in regard to the deal were
talked over and the transaction fully
completed. Prof. Wendell has pur-
chased a controlling interest at pres
ent but will probably buy all the
stock before long and assume entire
control of the paper.
Prof. Wendell is as present in
structor in the Rock Island high
school and will as soon as he can
leave his position remove with his
family to Rockford and take charge
of the paper.

SCROFULA.

To cure Scrofula take
SCOTS Emulsion.
Scrofula may be described as
-" scattered consumption"
1t is consumption of the
small glands under the skin,
and these break out into the
sores. SCOTS Emulsion heals
these sores. ~
But there's more to the
story. The loss of flesh and
great weakness that comes
with Scrofula is a regular part
of the disease-the same as in
consumption of the lungs.
For this as for the sores,
SCOTS Emulsion is just the
remedy.
Flesh and strength are
gained by the use of SCOTS
Emulsion quicker than in any
other way.
Scrofulous children improve
in every way on SCOTS Emul-
sion.

WEAK WOMEN
MADE STRONG

$40 &-RAH EXAMINATION FREE
There is nothing more distress. ne
in this world than the multitude of
ills and Weaknesses peculiar to wo-
men. They are myraid in number
and as numerous in the Characters
tics they display. Men, being differ
emily constituted. cannot understand
these female complaints and perhaps
they are not to be blamed for appar-
ent Indifference to them. But what
is worse than to see a young woman,
just in the budding process, tied down
by weaknesses, by pain indescribable,
by sensations mat drive the patient
almost wild. Thousands of women
have suffered in this way, uncom-
may be their nature, and
thousands are still suffering.
From the time they enter upon real
wOmanly life until their hair is gray
and their steps enfeebled by advanc-
ing age, they go through fortunes be-
side which those Of the inquisitiou
were mild. In some cases they are
treated with the utmost sympathy.
Kind relatives and friends do all in
their power to alleviate the suffering
and to make them forget their pains,
For such sufferers l have a message
of comfort and method of escape
Electricity and Natures remedies
are my treatment. l use nothing
but natures own methods. The hor-
rors of the knife and the scalpel are
relegated to the background as being
no longer necessary.
THERE II \ REMEDY
For the human nervous system out
of order just as there is for the rail
way. When the wires are down or
crossed or the battery is displaced
NvOrkmen do not begin pouring poison
down the track into the cars. They
attack the wires themselves. That is
just what 1 do. BY my electric treat
ment / restore the nervous equilibrium
and son the hectic flush or the pale
and wornout look make way for the
temperance of the color of health.
Weak women again see something in
life beside pain and torture. BY my
method of electric treatment there is
almost instant relief and in a short
time complete recovery. Do not de-
lay and suffer longer, but consult me
free of charge, including N-Ray eX-I
animation.

from iudiscretion or disease. treated
