The Most Common Cause of Suffering

Rheumatism causes more paiu and
suffering than any other disease, for
the reason that 1t Is the most common
of all Ills, and 1t Is certainly gratify-
ing to sufferers to know that Cham
berlain's Pain Balm will afford re-
lief, and make rest and sleep possi-
Bile. In many cases the relief from
pain, which Is at first temporary, has
become permanent, while in old peo-
pie subject to chronic rheumatism,
often brought on by dampness or
changes in the weather, a permanent
cure cannot be expected; the relief
from pain which this liniment affords
is alone worth many times its cost.

What's the matter with charging
him with an attempt to destroy the

Z Never in Marshalltown was the feel
ing among the business men and pub
Tic in general better than this year. UP
one side Of Main street and down .the
other the feeling is the same. Mer-
chants, almost to a man, declare, that
their business was never surpassed,
and never were people buying better
class Of goods, and more of them. From
the prediction of men in every line OF
trade, the 1908 holiday season is going
to far eclipse last year, which was also
q hummer
The possibilities of "pipe dream"
in a resume of trade conditions are
entirely overcome when business men
are talked to separately, and all tell
the same story. Trade is coming into
MarshalltownN from so far away that
one not familiar with the retail bust
ness would hardly believe it. Goods are
not only Being carried but shipped out
of Marshalltown to far distant points,
ready for opening by eNpectant recip-
dents bright and early Christmas
morning. Farmers in automobiles and
teams, and on trains, are forming daily
an immense caravan that leads toward
Marshalltown-tIae Mecca of Christmas
shoppers.
There are many reasons for this con-
dition prevailing. Never in Marshall
towns history were better stocks Of
Tered the buying public. Never were
there SO many pretty windows, stand

Never we're so many expert window

Some Rules That Public Should
Carefully Observe in Mail
ing Packages
REGISTER VALUABLE PARCELS
Extra Expense is Slight, and Uncle
Same Then Insures Safe Delivery
How to Wrap Christmas Packages
Be Sure of Sufficient Postage, and
Always Put on Return Card.

| Now that the annual Christmas rush
| OF the governments postal business
is about at hand, the public should OBJ
serve, for it's own good, as we'll as for
mails. dominion rules that are laid
down for the guidance Of patrons of
the Marshalltown postoffice.
In the first place the most important
warning is to not wait until the last
day or two before Christmas, but ra-
Their get Christmas packages in early
Especially should this be observed If
the parcels are to go any great dis
lance. But long or short, as the dis
lance may be, like your Christmas
shopping, do it early"
Patrons should not fail to remember
that they do not have to go to the
postoffice for postal information, stamps
money orders, ETC., but that the SUBJ
stations may be used If they are more
convenient. There are three Sub-sta-
lions in the city aside from the SOL
diers' home. One of these is at Peter
Mayors drug store, another at the
Mcbride & Will depot store, and the
third at S. W. LaShelle's cigar store.
Packages and letters may be weighed
at any of these stores, and they may
also be registered.
Nasby's Don'ts.
Postmaster Smith has outlined the
following list of don'ts that should be
observed in the Christmas rush.:
Don't do up parcel with such poor
wrapping paper or in such flimsy
manner that the wrapper may be easily
torn and separated from the contents.
Don't fail to put your name and
address, preceded by the word FROM
on the upper left-hand corner of every
piece of mail.
Don't fail to give the full address
street and number, town, city, county
and state of destination.
Don't mail a parcel without prev
iously weighing it or having it weighed,
to ascertain the amount Of postage re-
quired.
Don't place handkerchiefs, neckties,
or other articles of merchandise in
packages of printed matter unless you
prefer to pay the higher merchandise
rate of postage on the whole. No writ

Re-eStabliSh the Train
mountain

The citizens of Jasper and other towns on the Northern Alabama rail road are uniting in an active effort to have the morning passenger service to Sheffield re-established. This train was canceled several months ago, but as 1t had proved a great convenience to the travelling public it's discontiu. ance was seriously felt all the way from Birmingham to Sheffield.
 The Northern Alabama is a part of the Southern Railway system, and the officials of that line should lose no time in having the service reinstated. Business depression which followed the panic of last October was given as the reason for discontinuance of the train, but In view of the important communities which were being served by the morning accommodation out of Birmingham, it would have been bet ter to have retrenched in some other direction. The people along the line protested when the train was taken of, but after waiting patiently for its resumption, have determined now to make an extraordinary effort to induce the company to have the service re. stored.
 John A Lusk, who has just been appointed member of the state rail road commission, is man of action and 1t is but reasonable to suppose that he will move to take up this mat ter and have the commission require the railroad to re-establish the train in question But the officials of the | Southern should appreciate the situa tion and act on it's own motion. Le them at once reconsider their order t, discontinue the morning service tt Sheffield, and thus show their readi ness to satisfy their patrons. It vii be a popular move and there should b. no delay about 1t.

The Iron Market.

The Birmingham pig iron market is comparatively quiet, but one contract for 10000 tons was signed this week and several small sales were booked. ne Tennessee company is quoting sl2.sO put the other companies as a rule are asking only Sl2; and it is said that even the latter is shaded when large tonnage IS under consideration. It is felt now ever, that with a revival of activity the price will quickly harden at s12.oO Rose CTS, Brown & Co.'S circular for the cur rent week says:
 "There is a good run of current ousi- ness, prices are firm and the prospects for continued improvement brighter from day to day. There has been renewed ac- tivity in certain lines of iron consumption which, while not great, yet are better on today than at any time for 10 months past. The best promise extended at the present time is the crop outlook and the now practical assurance that these VIII be of unusual magnitude.
 Already this influence has been et work and the efforts which must be made by railroads to care for this immense product will be felt in more than one direction in the iron market. There IS hesitancy on the part of some furnaces in quoting for very extended delivery at present figures and this attitude is inter fering somewha; with the placing of large tonnage"

Few DeSertlons At San Francisco

The battleship fleet has sailed away from the mainland and will not return to it until next February. It carries 13,OOO seamen, and predictions had freely been made that the assertions from this number at San Francisco would be numerous. Official returns show that the fleet carried away all but 129 out of the 13,OO0 seamen on board. The missing 129 represent not only deserters, but the stragglers who for one reason or another failed to join their ships in time to sail. Some of them are no doubt i'll, and they will yet join the fleet or else will be sent to other duty.
 The showing made at San Francisco on sailing day is tribute to American seamen. They are trustworthy. When the fleet comes steaming home t will bring back 13,000 able-bo1ie6 and com petent seamen, a valuable acquisition indeed. Every man will be trasned to the duties of the place he fills The difference between competent, trust worthy seamen and the opposite was we'll illustrated in the memorable bat tie in the Straits of Japan, where one fleet was annihilated and the other escaped almost without scratch Other factors entered into that historic con test, but the efficiency of the Japanese men behind the guns was in striking contrast with the incompetency of the Russians who stood behind nothing.
