No Fear of Panic in Iowa.

Iowa did not suffer materially from
the panic last fall; she does not fear
one this fall. Our crop experts esti-
mate we will this year produce over
three hundred million bushels of
corn, worth over $2O0,00OOOO; oats
worth $70,000,000 wheat worth
s5,OOo,OO0 barley worth $6OOO,OoO;
hay worth $60,000,000; butter worth
s40000,000; poultry and eggs worth
$35000,000; potatoes and small fruit
worth $10.000,000 wool worth $4,000
000 A total in marketable products
from the farms of Iowa of over $42S,-
100000, In addition her farmers own
horses and mules worth $145,000,000
and cattle, hogs and sheep worth over
$1S6,000,000, part Of which will be
marketed this fall. Her coal mines
will produce over seven million tons
of coal worth about $12,000,O00 and
our 5000 manufacturing establish
ments will market products worth
S200,OOo,OO0
Iowa banks are loaded to the guards
with idle money and when her crops
are marketed this fall, she WILL as in
the past, have money to loan to the
rest Of her neighbors, who are not so
fortunate. One Iowa farmer, meeting
neighbor friend one day said: John.
I had strange dream about you last
night. l dreamed of dying and going
to Heaven, and WALKING down one OF
the beautifully paved streets in com
pany with an angel guide. saw a
heavy post evidently sunken deep in
the pavement and man fastened to
1t with a large chain. Calling my
guides attention to it, l asked: Isn't
that my old neighbor, John Jones?'
On receiving an affirmative reply, !
asked: Why do you keep him chain
ed in such manner?' The guide re-
piled: Well sir, your friend Jones
agrees that this is a pretty nice place,
yet it appears that he is not wholly
satisfied, and we fear If we let him
loose, he will return to Iowa.
Colorado is much nearer Heaven,
from point of elevation only, than
Iowa. but we Iowa fellows don't care
to change our abode just yet.

FAMOUS BEAUTY SPECIALIST.
Gives Advice To Women Lacking In Energy
and Vitality.

Thousands of women are using toilet
preparations unsuccessfully.
Cosmetics fail to improve their
thick, muddy complexion or to Danish
the pimples, blackheads aud crow S
feet.
No wonder. Their trouble lies far
deeper than the skin. They have bad
blood. and bad blood in 90 per cent of
the cases arises from Inflammation of
the mucous membrane. Their blood is
filled with poison which is certain to
break out in unsightly humors and
blotches-while pale. drawn faces,
deep circled eyes, STOPPING shoulders
and weak backs complete the story of
suffering and despair.
Inflammation of the mucous MEM
brane is catarrh. Danish catarrh and
compilations will clear as if by magic,
pain vanish. eyes will brighten. faces
become plump and shoulders erect.
Perfect beauty goes only with perfect
health, and perfect health for women
can only be obtained through Rexall
Mucu-ToDe. the one positive and per-
manent cure for catarrh. Nine. Swift.
A w. 18th St., New York City. the
most famous beauty specialist in the
world and an accepted authority on
all relating thereto, has this to say of
Muco.Tone.
II can strosgly endorse the claims
made for Rexall Mucu-Tone as cure
for systemic catarrh. 1t builds up
the strength and restores vitality. If
lacking in energy and vitality, will
use Mueu- Tone, they will praise it as
l do for its strengthening and healing
qualities. 1"
Rexall Mucu-Tone works through
the blood. and acting directly upon the
mucocells-the congestion and lnfiam-
nation of which are the sole cause of
catarrh-causes them to expel the
poison and to resume their natural
functions. Thus the membranes are
cleansed-the blood purified and revi-
talized..
We know that Rexall Mucu- Tone
will cure every form of catarrh. no
matter where located, of how long
standing. or by what other names it is
known. We guarantee to refund your

of getting a doctor, what a wonderful
change! Formerly a farmer had to
hitch up team and drive to town,

patient another two hours had gone
by. Now the farmer goes to his phone

his door in thirty inmates. And now
the automobile is to be made so

IMPORTANT STRIKE
AT
FORMAN BROS. LEASE UNCOV,
ERS ORE NEARLY SOLID
GOLD.

An important strike was made yes
terday on the Forman Bros. lease on
the Earl Mining Company ground at
Manhattan, that caused the most in
tense excitement. A shot put in on
the afternoon shift blew out rock
weighing eighty ounces, that was al
most solid gold. The richness of the
ore caused the superintendent to
Immediately convey it to the Bank of
Manhattan for safe keeping.
The property adjoins the Liberty,
Granny, and Union No. 2, and to say
that the owners Of the adjoining
property are up in the air is putting
1t mildly. The owners of the lease
are James and viii Forman, AL
Riggs being superintendent. They
have thirty tons of ore on the dump
that goes $50.
