The Iowa legislature is considering bill that,
if it becomes law, will establish large printing
plant in the Iowa penitentiary The purpose of the
plant is not only to print the books and other docu
mens used by the state but to teach those who work
in the shop the printing trade. The bill carries
appropriation of five thousand dollars but it is diff
Gcul to see how they start such enterprise
so small al amount.
Perhaps the newspaper fraternity, we'll as
printers unions, will seriously oppose such in
novation. There is no question but what the work
can be done in the penitentiary at ridiculous low
figure. Az the valuation of prison labor ranges from
forty to sixty-fve cents day. it readily be seen
that it would be futile for outside to attempt
to compete with the penitentiary goods

MI. Frank Little, a well known citi-
zen OF Portland, Ionia Co., Mich, was
cured of a severe case of rheumatism

Ing about il recently, he said: My
body was run down and in no condi-
ton to withstand disease and about
i've years ago / began to feel rheu-
matte pains in my arms and across
my back. My arms and legs grew
numb and the rheumatism seemed to
settle in every joint SO that | could
hardly move, while my arms were
useless at times. l was unable to
sleep or rest we'll and m heart pain
ed me so terribly | could hardly stand
1t. My stomach became sour and
bloated after eating and this grew
so bad that / had inflammation of
the stomach. | was extremely nerv-
Gus and could not bear the least
noise or excitement. One whole side
OF my body became paralyzed.
las said before, | had been sun
ering about five years and seemed to
be able to get no relief from my
doctors, when a friend here In Port
land told me how DR.. Williams Pink
Pills had cured MIN of neuralgia in
the face, even after the pain had
drawn 1t to one side. decided to
try the pills and began to see some
Improvement soon after using them.
This encouraged me to keep on until
| was entirely cured. | have never
had a return of the rheumatism or OF

Mix half of the Pure Virgin
Oil of Pine with two ounces of glycer-

Never accept these as a substitute for

Always to Be Depended Upon.

When a person gets up in the morn
ing with a dull headache and a tired,
5tretchy feeling, it's an almost certain
indication that the liver, or bowels,
or both, are decidedly out of order.
AT such times Nature, the wisest
and best of doctors, takes this means
to give warning that she needs the
help and gentle assistance which can
best be obtained from that old fam
lily remedy, Brandreth's Pills, which
has been in use for over a century.
They are the same fine laxative
tonic pill your grandparents used
when doctors were few and far be-
tween, and when people had to have
a remedy that could absolutely be de-
pended upon.
Brandreth's Pills can be depended
upon, and are sold in every drug and
medicine store, plain or s~ugar-coated.

scALY ERUPTION ON BODY.
fsrsd 10 Years Completely
Cured by Cuticura.

When i was about nine years old
small sores appeared on each of my
lower limbs. i scratched them with a
brass pin and shortly afterwards both
of those limbs became so sore that
I could scarcely walk. When | had
bee suffering for about a month
the sores began TO heal, but small
scaly eruptions appeared where the
sores had been. From that time on
ward / was troubled by such severe
itching that, until l became accus-
toned TO it, / would scratch the sores
until the blood began to flow. This
would stop the itching for n few
Jays. but scaly places would appear
again and the itching would accom-
pany them. After l suffered about
ten years l made a renewed effort to
effect a cure. The eruptions by this
time had appeared on every part of
my body except my face and hands.
The best doctors in my native coun-
ty advised me to use arsenic in small
doses and a salVe. | then used to
battle the sores in a mixture which
gave almost intolerable pain. In adj
dition i used other remedies, such
rs iodine, sulphur, zinc salve, IS
Saiye. - Ointment, and in fact l
was continually giving some remedy
= fair trial, never using less than
one or two boxes or bottles. All
this was fr~uitless. Finally my hair
began TO fall out and / was rapidly
becoming bald. / used IS -,
but 1t did no good. A few months
after, having used almost everything
else. l thought l would try Cuticura
Ointment, having previously used
Cuticura Soap and being pleased with
Il. After using three boxes l was
completely cured, and my hair was
restored, after fourteen years of suf-
'ering and an expenditure of at least
$50 or $50 In vainly endeavoring to
find a cure. / shall be glad to write
to any who may be interested in
my cure. b. Hiram Mattingly, Yer

rebuke from N of his Democrauc
colleagues, Senator Patterson OF Co'o-
RADIO.
In the name of the Democracy OF the
North Senator Patterson Tepudiated
the peculiar Democracy expounded by
Mr.. TiIlman in regard to the proper
treatment of the negro.
In summary it may be said that Sen
ator Tillman charged the president
with exceeding his constitutional and
legal rights. with violating the funda-
mental principle of Jurisprudence that
innocent men should not be made to
suffer for the guilty, with being HIM
self primarily responsible for the
Brownsville riot because he sent the
negro troops there, and because he
had taught the negro TO believe he Is
the equal Of the white, and finally with
having virtually been guilty of lynch
ing in the manner in which he had
dealt with the colored troopers.
