The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject. It is easier and better to
to prevent than to cure. It has been
fully demonstrated that pneumonia, one
of the most dangerous diseases that
medical men have to contend with, can
be prevented by the use of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy, Pneumonia al
ways results from cold or from an at
tack of Influenza (grip) and it has been
observed that this remedy counteracts
any tendency of these diseases towards
pneumonia. This has been fully proven
in many thousands of caaes in which this
remedy has been used during the great
prevalence of colds and gIip in recent
years, and can be relied upon with i'm
plicit confidence. Pneumonia often re-
suits from slight cold when no danger
is apprehended until it is suddenlr dis
covered that there is fever and difficulty
in breathing and pains in the chest,
then it is announced that the patient
has pneumonia. Be on the safe side
and take Chamberlain Cough Remedy
as soon as the cold is contracted. 1t al
ways cures. For sale by all druggists.

The Easy Pill

DeWitt.s Little Early Risers do rot
grippe nor weaken the system. They
cure billiousness, iaundice, constipation
and inactive Hvers, by arou-ing the Sc
cretions, moving the bowels gently, yet
effeotually, and giving such tone and
strength to the glands of the stomach,
liver and bowels that the cause of the
trouble is removed entirely. These fam
GUS little pills exert decided tonic eff
feet upon the organs involved, and if
their use is continued for few days
there will be no return of the trouble.

AN ELEGANT CHRISTMAS GIFT.
ottumwa Postoffice Employees Present
Az AAIikI. fass:~~ Oil.

| A. w. Lee With Office Chair.
An elegant Christmas gift in the
form of beautiful Office chair was
! yesterday presented to A. w. Lee, who
!; recently resigned the Office Of post
master of Ottumwa, by the employees
/ at the local postoffice. The present
is highly appreciated by the recipient
and testifies to the pleasant relations
which existed between him and the
local government employees during his
long term as postmaster. To express
his gratitude for the kind remem-
brance Mr.. Lee today sent the follow
ing letter to the donors Of the gift:
Dec "a, 1908.
To Postmaster Fred v. Wilson and all
the employees of the postof1ce:
Dear friends: Santa Claus deliv-
cred to my Office in my absence yes
terday, most beautiful and
delightfully."- comfortable Office
chair and left with it a
note reading with the compliments
and good wishes Of all the employees
of the postoffice." AS I was out of
! the city at the time, was not able to
express my personal thanks to Santa
Claus and therefore take this oppor-
tunity of returning to you and your
co-workers in the postoffice, my sim
cere appreciation and thanks for this
beautiful remembrance. accept it
as an expression OF personal regard
which l appreciate to very high de-.
gree. During my five and half
years incumbency as postmaster,
brought as was into personal daily
relations with all the employees Of the
postoffice, it is matter of the greatest
qualification to me that during all this
time, the discipline of the Office was
fully maintained and the service kept
up to the highest degree of efficiency
without single incident Of personal
misunderstanding or necessity for Off
cial reprimand. am free to say now
what have realized for q long time
and that Is that no postoffice in the
country has more efficient and abso-
lutely reliable corps of employees, than
the Ottumwa Office AS fully believe
they are each and every one actuated
with desire to give to the public the
best possible service in every respect,
and this they have done and are doing.
The result Of this splendid esprit de-
corps in the Ottumwa postoffice, gives
| Ottumwa the best postal service that
can be had, and in matter that is
deserving Of the appreciation and com
mendation of the general public. The
postoffice inspectors have frequently
remarked to me the entire absence of
trouble" with reference to the en-
ployes of the Ottumwa postoffice. My
reply has always been that there was
no occasion for trouble, because each
employe fully understood the duties of
his position and always did his best
to secure the greatest efficiency to the
service.
It is a matter of the highest gratifi-
cation to me that this condition of at
fairs should have continued during my
/ incumbency as postmaster without a
break In the cordial relations existing
personally between the postmaster and
the postoffice employees. The express
sion of this personal friendship made
at this time, is something that shall
always cherish and remember.
Very sincerely yours.
