A well known travelling man who

heard druggists inquire of customers
who asked for cough medicine, wheth-
er it was wanted for a c2ild or for an
adult, and if for child they almost in
variably recommend Chamberlain's

that they know there is no danger from
it and that it always cures. There is

Ladies Endorse the Change.

| One of the boldest and at the same
| time the most successful business
changes, is that made recently by the
National Toilet Co., of Paris. TENT.
whose preparation for identifying the
complexion known as Satinola. one Of
the leading, and perhaps the bet
preparation on the market for the -
moval of tan, freckles, pimples ami
other diScolorations has been a prime
faVorite for years with women for
identifying the complexion.
1t seems however that other prepa-
rations with names so much like Sl
tinola appeared, and to an extent
caused confusion, and the National
Toilet Company, knowing that it
could not afford to have so valuable
q preparation confused with any otiI-
er on the market, decided on an au-
dacious change. something practically
unheard of in advertising circles They
abandoned the name Satinola, on
which considerable had been spent
in making it known and populariziug
the preparation, boldly adopted the
Eame "Nadinola." Satinola it was
NadinOla from now on-Nadinola.
Nadinola now becomes trademark
for the National Toilet Co., and the
change has already marked a new era
Numerous complimentary
letters endorsing the change of name
are being received at the Office of the
National Toilet Co. from ladies vino
have used their preparations. and or
derS are coming in freely from both
the wholesale and retail drug trade
for the preparation under the new
name.
The success OF Nadinola, the COM
pleXion beautifier. is a foregone con-
clusion, as women in every part OF
the United States have proven its SOW
ereign worth as an absolute cure and
positive remedy for sallowness, PIN
pies, freckles collar discolorations,
liver-spots and disfguring eruptions
Of every kind, that Nadinola cannot
fail of the continued prosperity which
was once attributed to Satinola is a
fact based upon the business methods

"eetmany's Tariff Retaliation"

Under the above caption the Kansas
City STAR independent Republican, con-
tains the following significant editorial:
From the summary given out by the de-
partment of commerce and labor 1t is evil
dent that the new tariff schedule proposed
by Germany will seriously affect trade
with the United States. About rs per cent
of the American exports consists of food
stuffs and raw material. On these the
rates are to be raised from so to 200 per
cent.
Since America sells to Germany more
than. $500 O00, 900 worth of goods every year
and since the trade has developed remark
ably within the last decade, the tariff war
is likely to prove of some Importance in
checking the growth of an excellent mar
ket
The trouble is the immediate fruit of
the stand pat tariff policy of congress-
For three-quarterS of u century the Unit
ed States has been trading with Germany
under the provisions of a treaty granting
to this government all the commercial
concessions allowed by Germany to the
most favored nations In the last few
years the Berlin government has nego-
tiated reciprocity treaties with some of its
most important neighbors. In return for
privileges granted it has reduced various
tariff rates. Under the most favored ma
tion" provision 1t has been forced to ex-
tend these concessions to the United
States, although this government has
steadily refused to reciprocate, except in
the case of sugar duties
This unyielding policy has naturally led
to determination to retaliate by the
abrogation of the treaty Of 1928 and by
putting high schedule of duties in eff
feet against American exports. The Unit
ed States government has not abandoned
hope of persuading Germany to recon-
slider its intention. But it is evident that
stand pat tariff policy may harm Amer
lean industry in more ways than one.

Claims to Be a True Prophet.

George L. Hunt, the Sioux City
newspaper man, who claims to be one
of the twelve apostles reincarnated,
reports having had recent revelation
that John Alexander Dowie Of Chicago
and Zion City is either an imposter
or a much deluded person. Hunt, since
his announcement some months ago
that he was to be leader Of great re-
ligious movement which would unite
all peoples, was besieged by letters
from Dowieites rebuking him for his
presumption and alleging that their
own Elijah was the only real prophet
and spiritual leader on earth. The
other day Hunt says he saw rainbow
form a few blocks away, and going
there he had his own identity con-
firmed by revelation, convincing him
again that he is true apostle and
prophet and being told that Satan
would appear in the last days even
as an angel clothed in white" Hunt
intimates that this referred to Dowie.
He thinks the followers Of Dowie are
good people, but misled.

Jerry Simpson.


The ablest and most picturesque Of
all the western Populists who made it
30 interesting for the Republican party
few years ago has passed away.
Jerry Simpson is dead. He who was
first known as "Sockless Jerry" and
who was then taken as joke lived to
impress upon the knowledge of even
his enemies that he was man Of seri-
Gus purpose, Of unusual ability and as
tough customer In a stand up and
drag out debating fight as any Repub-
lican could wish to tackle. Many Il
Republican learned before Simpson
passed from the halls of congress with
the receding wave of Populism that to
engage with him in debate was very
hazardous undertaking. Several of
them learned to feel as must have felt
that early western pioneer whose tomb
stone bore the simple epitaph:
"He whistled for q grizzly, and the
grizzly came"
Simpson loved to take his Republican
opponents down the line" both from
his aversion to their principles and on
account of his natural love Of q scrap.
There must have been dominant
streak of Hibernian blood in the man.
Simpsons death is distinct loss to
the cause of truly representative gov
eminent. Always at bottom more of
Democrat than anything else, en-
vironment and the seizure Of swift
heeled opportunity sent him to CON
gress as Populist He was genial,
strong, full of information and of fight,
self educated, but with wonderful
head for figures, facts and political
history, and thorn in the side of the
Rspublicans In three congresses. Like

SOME CENSUS STATISTICS.
Interesting Figures Regarding the Pop.
uIation of Iowa.

According to the state census Iowa
on Jan. l OF this year had one person
who was 119 years of age. one who
was los, another who was 1903, another
who was 102 and two who were an
even 100. And in this state upon the
date there were 1,02S persons who
were over ninety years of age. Louis
Young of Oskaloosa is returned by the
assessor as being 119 years of age.
He is colored man and was born in
Virginia. He has lived but one year
In this state and can neither read nor
write. Mary Talbert of Abba, col
ored woman, is los years old She
was born in Kentucky. Delphia Rog-
ers of Clarinda, also colored woman,
is 103 years of age. She was born in
Kentucky and owns her own home in
forty-fve years. Mrs. Louise Beau
mont, white, of Des Moines was 102
years old on Jan. l, but has died since
that date, although the census will in
clude her name. Elizabeth West OF
Highland Park, Des Moines, colored
woman, is 100 years of age, and was
born in North Carolina. She has lived
in this state for thirty-nine years.
Sophia Kock, Of Wall lake, in Sac
county, is also 100 years of age. She
Is white and was born in Germany.
She came to this state forty-eight
years ago. A perusal of this list seems
to show that colored people are longer
lived in Iowa by far than the whites.
The total population of the state is
1,264,630, of which number 41,80S are
males and 622,S27 females. The popu.
lation has fallen off 21,517 since the
1900 census. The country districts
have sustained the heaviest decrease
in population, while the cities have in
variably shown big gains.
An interesting feature of the state
figures shows the following towns and
the percentage of inhabitants having
native-born parents; Des Moines, 63.7;
Marshalltown, 82.5 Oskaloosa, 74.2;

cummins Denounced Law.

Governor Cummins, while guest of
the State Marshal Law club at Des
Moines, announced that he would not
support the law for which the club is
fighting. The governors friends say
that he was invited before the state
meeting by men who did not think he
would have the nerve to denounce
them in their own meeting. 81 cannot
support the marshal law for which this
convention stands" said Governor
Cummins. "If | say anything on the
subject in my annual message 1t will
be to recommend to the legislature
that the bill be defeated. The only
thing along this line in the state the
I would recommend Is law simila
to that In Missouri, which gives the
governor power to remove county at
torneys from Office when they do not
do their duty" This club wants a
marshal for each district to enforce
the prohibition laws. and asks an ad.
ditional mulot tax to pay for those
marshals.

Folk In the East.

Governor Folk has had triumphal en-
frances into some cities Of both the
west and east latterly. He has just
returned from very fattering recep-
ton in Philadelphia, where he went to
help Mayor Weaver in his magnificent
fight against the Republican bosses Of
the worst Doodle ridden city in Amer
lea. The press dispatches say that the
crowds outside the Academy Of Music
consisted Of thousands Of enthusiastic
citizens who couldn't get inside the
doors and that other thousands be-
sieged him at his hotel, demanding a
speech. The reputation of his deeds,
done .as prosecuting attorney and
governor, has evidently reached the
Philadelphians good and strong, and
his work was Of such sort as to APP
peal very keenly to them in their own

Mutee VIII Form a Colony.

Fifty deaf mutes from Iowa, Missou.
RI, Nebraska and points in Kansas will
go at once to Caney, Kan, to establish
a deaf mute colony. An Iowa man, Ed
ward Schuling, is at the head of this
movement and his home is now under
construction at Caney. The town OF
Caney has 1900 inhabitants, and mem.
bers of the new colony have already
secured options on most of the val.
liable property. An effort is to be made
to convert the town of Caney into a
place entirely populated by deaf mutes
and a form of government similar to
that used at such places as the Brook
farm is to be adopted. 1t Is said that
a deaf mute town aourishes in Bel
GUM and has been established for
a great many years. The Kansas town
will be modelled after the city across

Roosevelt In 1903?

hooSevelt In iSU6l
Notwithstanding President Roose-
velt's positive assertion on the night of
the election that he would not again
be candidate for the presidential
nomination, and Notwithstanding his
reiteration of that statement on more
than one occasion, the possibility Of
such an event has been frequently dis
cussed and is being discussed right
now. His trip through the south has
revived that sort of talk. Everybody
likes to see him enjoy himself, but
aspiring Republican statesmen are be-
ginning to be worried by passing
events. This dispatch shows how
things are looked at by certain parties
In washington, where politics is al
ways the theme:
Washington, Oct. 26. = Presidential as
pirants view with alarm the enthusiasm
with which President Roosevelt is greeted
in the south. Hitherto it has been sup
posed that the south was one section Of
the country which the president could not
by any possible means win over to his
methods Of doing things. But the tri-
umphal tour of the southern states has
changed the general impression and has
greatly excited friends of all the men who
have been mentioned" for the presiden-
tal nomination In 1908.
They seem to be genuinely alarmed lest
there should be a great popular uprising
and the nomination again thrust upon
President Roosevelt in spite of the decla-
ration he made last November, when he
received news of his election, that under
no circumstances would he seek or ac-
cept another term of office. They are
afraid there will be realignment of par
ties in the country and that conservative
Democrats will unite with conservative
Republicans, with Roosevelt as the COM
promise candidate between these two ele-
ments, leaving Bryan to gather to him
self all the supporters of municipal own
ership and other factions and believers
from the radical elements of all political
parties
