such. The anti-saloon movement has caused this realization, that the evils of the trade are not necessarily a part of the trade, but due chiefly to the hangers on, the disorderly, law breaking saloon men.
 The national movement will be urged as result of the success of the similar movement in various states. In Massachusetts and Penn sylvania the enacting of wise laws has wiped out the disreputable ele- ment, the brewers themselves lead ing in the securing of proper laws.
 In some states the laws them- selves have stimulated over-compe- tition, which has resulted in ten dency to immoral conduct of busi- ness. The brewers realized that or ganized work must be done to elim- mate this element, and through in- dividual efforts have done much to wipe out the dives and disreputable resorts, 1t has been decided to get all of the nations breweries working as a unit for this end. The Texas brewers found great success in their efforts, forced the hands of the prosecutors, ridding the state of 2,000 gambling joints and other joints which were operated in con- junction with the saloons. The brewers of the board of trade of New York have undertaken to do the same, cooperating with the commit tee of IA, organized to regulate the Raines law evil, and with the aid of the bonding companies which bond the licenses, it is expected to put about i50 disorderly places out of business as result of inability to secure licenses.
 The same course has been adopted in Buffalo, Syracuse, Rochester and other New York cities.
 The West Virginia brewers have united to force the disreputable re- sorts out of business by sending letter to the retailers insisting upon a rigid compliance with the laws. The same step has been taken by the New Jersey and Ohio brewers as well as by the Minnesota brewers in the west.
 In Milwaukee the brewers have taken similar course. They are prosecuting violators of law by in- sisting upon the revocation of the licenses by the city council As result of this movement it is ex- pected that wholesale houseclean- ing will take place in every city of consequence in the country.

BREWERS CONVENTION.
Makers of Beer Will Make an Effort
 to Elevate Saloons.

Milwaukee, Wis, May 5.-The standard of the American saloon is to be elevated, the dive and disrepu table saloon eradicated, and this by action of the brewers of the na- tion, according to the plans for the convention of the United States Brewers association to be held in Milwaukee, June to 10. This as- sociation includes practically every brewing company of consequence in the country, and the membership is almost unanimous for the reform of the saloon.
 The national campaign for the eradication of the dive is the result of the success of the movement which has been undertaken in a sporadic way in various parts of the country In Wisconsin, Minnesota New York and many other states eff forts for the elevation of the stand ard of the saloon have been found to be successful to a marked de- gree, and those who have backed this reformation in various states now propose to make the move"
 national instead of state cam paign only.
 This course has resulted from the realization by the brewing com panies that the worst enemies of the industry are those in their own ranks who have tolerated the law defying and disorderly element in the saloon business. For some years past efforts have been made in various localities to rid the saloon business of this element, and make the running of saloon respecta- ble business, generally recognized as

A Curiosity i'm Corn.

Ed. Warner. farmer living near
Anita, has produced what he con-
siders TO be a curiosity in the shape
Of an ear of corn. The ear was grown
on his farm in "a field that averaged
thirty-two rows of kernels and is but
little larger than an ordinary ear, the
grains being smaller than the rest of
the corn picked from the same field.
The ear was an inch and half in
circumference and abont seven inches
long, and the weight was about seven
ounces. The kernels seemed to be per-
fectly formed and the ear was an or
binary looking ear.

DOCTOR USED D. D. D. IN HIS PRACTICE.
Eminent Physician Says This Great Liquid
Prescription is Certain Cure for Eczema.

Still another eczema specialist
comes forward in enthusiastic praise
of d. ID. ID. Prescription. the wonder
ful external remedy which cures eczema
and other similar diseases like magic.
He is DR.. @. 3. Holmes of Silver
City, Miss, and in summing up his
impressions OF the startling cures d.
ID. ID. has effected. he says:
II have been using your ID. ID. ID.
for four years with gratifying results
IT'S as near specific for herpes,
eczema, psoriasis, etc, as is quinine
for malaria''
Dr. Holmes is one of hundreds of
physicians who use ID. d. ID. in their
daily practice. The ID. ID. d. COM
pany allows physicians to use this
remedy with the understanding that
they tell their patients what it was
that cured them when the terrible itch
has been wiped out, the skin healed
and the raw wound covered over with
soft white skin. ID. ID. ID. is not a
nasty paste to smear the skin and
clothing. but it is clear liquid. 1t
is advisable to use ID. ID. d. soap in
connection with d. ID. ID. Prescrip-
ton
Is any further proof of the curative
powers of ID. ID. ID. Prescription neces-
sary? That remedy is sold at Brunt
d Parman, DEBORAH, Iowa. Come in
and let us show you convincing proof
that ID. d. ID. will cure your skin
disease. Even ii you have not decided
to use ID. ID. ID. remedy. come in and
