The Register and Leader.

No other newspaper published in
Des Moines or Iowa devOtes so much
space to the public and political af-
fairs of the state as the Register and
Leader, and for that reason every
public spirited citizen should be on
its subscription list. 1t covers the
news of the state house and of legis'
lative sessions more fully than Other
papers, and in addition, gives a more
complete general Iowa news service
1t also receives the complete day and
night Associated Press report: i
maintains a special staff representa-.
tive in Washington and it publishes
the largest Sunday paper in the state.
Its editorial policy is broad and pro-
gressive; it is free from all entangling
alliances; and it owes no obligation
save to the best interests of the pub
lie. The Daily Register and Leader
is ~. 90 a year.

Grip Quickly Knocked Out.

"Some weeks ago during the severe
winter weather both my wife and my
self contracted severe colds which
speedily developed into the worst
kind of la grippe with all its miserable
symptoms" says j. s. Egleston of
Maple Landing, Iowa. "Knees and
Joints aching, muscles sore, head
stopped up, eyes and nose running,
with alternate spells of chills and
fever. We began using Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy aiding the same with
dose of Chamberlain's Stomach and
Liver Tablets, and by its liberal use
soon completely knocked out the grip"
1t is a good plan to take dose of
the Tablets when you have a cold.
They promote healthy action of the
bowels, liver and kidneys which is
always beneficial when the system is
congested by cold or attack of the
grip. For sale by A. H. Roberts.

A Tussle With a Crank.

Cranks seem TO be necessary evil.
They are all right and sometimes very
useful if you can contine them to their
proper sphere of action and then be
careful to keep out of their way. n.
ID. Graves has been kept busy for
several days explaining a little mixup
that he had with one, the result of
which is SCARED face and a battered
nose. But Mr.. Graves does not
blame the crank. The trouble was
that he got in its way by STOPPING
down to pick up an ear of corn when
the crank of the shelter gave him a
whack of sufficient force to remind
him that it is always the part of wis
dom to keep out of the way of cranks
when they are in motion.

A Sorry Christmas.

This will be a sorry Christmas to
Harry Whitfield who was run over by
the wheels of freight train under
which he was crawling in the Atlantic
yards Tuesday evening, and both legs
we're cut off below the knee. The boy
had started to crawl under the train
when the engineer backed short
ways to give the fireman chance to
extinguish bed of hot ashes which
had been dumped on the track. The
wheels caught the boys legs. The in
iured lad was taken to the hospital
and the legs amputated.
