In this connection would like TO call the
attention Of the public to the following letter
from Rev. w. Il. Peters, Pastor OF the

writes:
81 have recently tried your Lung Balm
for catarrhal tickling in the throat which

that Dr.. Rays Lung Balm gave me quicker
relief than any medicine have ever used.
This is . sample Of what is being said
everywhere by many people who suffer from
catarrh. Occasionally when disease has been
neglected It Is necessary to give particular
medicine that will reach directly the seat Of
the trouble. In such cases would recon-
mend that the patient write me aud fully

will always give anyone the benefit OF my ex-
perience and advice, and will prescribe for
them absolutely free. will also if You eau

The IRIS NEW STORY.

Five years ago no one knew Booth
the brilliant Indiana author of the
Two Van Revels" Monsieur Beau
caire." and the Gentleman From In
DIANA" all fiction of the peculiar and
absorbing character which has given
its author international fame. Booth
Harrington is probably the most pleas
ing and popular writer of fiction living
In America, and few books have had
greater vogue than his Gentleman
From Indiana" II is so distinctiveiy
United States In flavor, so charm
ingly conceived, and artistically work :
ed out that 1t appeals to readers of all
classes. There Is breathing natural
ness about Tarkington's characters. a
plethora of red blood corpuscles and
pulse beat about them that bring his
fiction people very near to us. His
effects are not galvanic but life like.
So it is with much pleasure that the
T.-R. informs it readers that it will
furnish them the first installment OF
the Gentleman From Indiana" to-
morrow.
1t is the story of a fearless editor
in an Indiana country town, of In
diana politics, Indiana white caps, a
murderous assault, and faithful and
affectionate woman with brains. II is
not well to sketch the story too much
| in detail, least the reader be deprived
of a great pleasure In following the
fortunes of It's characters. 1t is a
picture OF different phases OF American
life, Of American manhood and wom-
Ianhood in its best and worst, and in
the opinion OF its editors the most in
teresting story she Times Republican
has yet published. No one should miss
/ the opening chapters tomorrow.
| 1t will require about one month to
complete publication Of this great
story in the daily T.-R It is simply
one feature of the big eight column
daily that brings all the general news,
all the markets and an Incompatible
Iowa news service The cost Of the
paper for that length of time Is con-
siderably less than fifty cents. The
price of the Gentleman From India ma
alone at any book store is $3.50. The
single feature of the T.-R. saves it.
readers more than 800 per cent on tho
purchase price of the book. Why not
practice economy? Read the first
/ chapter tomorrow.
