Safe, Sure and Speedy.

No external remedy ever yet de-
vised has so fully and unquestionably
met these three prime conditions as
successfully as Alloock's Plasters.
They are safe because they contain
no deleterious drugs and are manu-
featured upon scientific principles of
medicine. They are sure because
nothing goes into them except ingre-
dents which are exactly adapted to
the purposes for which plaster is re-
CURED. They are speedy In their &C
ton because their medicinal qualities

pain and restoring the natural and
healthy performance Of the functions
OF muscles, nerves and skin.
Allcocks Plasters are the original
and genuine porous plasters and like
most meritorious articles have been
extensively initiated. therefore always
make sure and get the genuine.

NEVER TIRES
OF the Food That Restored Her to
Health.

"My food was killing me and didn't
know the cause" writes Colo. young
lady. For two years / was thin and
sickly, suffering from indigestion and
inflammatory rheumatism.
81 had tried different kinds of diet,
plain living, and many of the remedies
recommended, but got no better.
Finally, about five weeks ago,
mother suggested that / try Grape
Nuts, and I began at once, eating it
with little cream or milk. A change
for the better began at once.
To-day am \ Ill and am gaining
weight and strength all the time. I've
gained 10 lbs. in the last five weeks
and do not suffer any more from indi-
gestion and the rheumatism Is all
gone.
Il know 1t Is to Grape-Nuts alone
that owe my restored health. l still
eat the food twice day and never tire
Of It," Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek. Mich.
The flavor of Grape-Nuts Is peculiar
to itself. 1t Is neutral, not too sweet
and has an agreeable, healthful quail
ity that never grows tIresome.
One of the sources Of rheumatism
is from overlooking the system with
acid material, the result of imperfect
digestion and assimilation.
AS soon as improper food Is aban'
doned and Grape-Nuts is taken regu'
larly, digestion is made strong. the or
gans do their work of building up good
red blood cells and of carrying away
the excess of disease-making material
from the system.
The result Is certain and steady

activity. There's a reason" Read

Nails and Apples.

When our grandmothers were sick,
when they were tired out, unable to
work or sleep, when their cheeks be-
came hollow, their rosy complexion
began to fade and their eyes to lose
their luster, they were told that they
required more iron in their blood"
Instead of swallowing bottles OF
medicine, containing strong acids Ito
hold the iron in solution), they would
simply stick half a dozen or more
iron nails into an apple, leave them in
over night, remove the nails and next
morning, before breakfast, EAT THE
APPLE.

paid all the fines amounting, with
costs, to $3.50.
Nearly all Of the men, when ar

were charged with frequenting a dis

The police not only effected a whole

In the police court Radloff stated to
the officers that he was only hall
owner OF the place, and that interested
with him in its operation was Frank
Dewey, a well known gambler. Mr.
Dewey, later in the afternoon. stated
that Radloff's assertion was false. and
that he had not been concerned in the
operation OF the place for some time
having otherX interests that occupied
all OF his attention.
Gambling Must Stop.
Mayor Ingledue informed the men
before him that IL they ever fell into
his drag net again they would not gel
off so lightly. 1t was within his power
to fine them 500 and costs. but as
this was the first offense he was willing
to make the fines light. Gambling has
got to stop In Marshalltown," said the
mayor to the men, and another ofense
will mean the aimit.
Will Have Gambling Ordinance
Mayor Ingledue was surprised upon
consulting the ordinances, after the
raid. to find that the revised ordin-
ances OF Marshalltown do not contain
any section on gambling. Disorderly
conduct and being inmates OF disor-
Derby House was the only ordinance
that covered the crime aside from the
state law. The mayor did not care to
bind the men over to the grand jury
on a first offense, altho he stated in
court that the county attorney could
bring. the matter before the grand jury
and return indictments, as the evil
dence in the case is just as good wher
the next grand jury meets asst is now
The mayor requested City Solicitor
Northup to prepare an ordinance COW
ering gambling, to be presented before
the council, at the attorneys earliest
convenience. ;sss
