THE RAT MUST CO.!
A Menace to Health, as Well as Great
est Destroyer of Property.

"The rat must go!"
This is the slogan of campaign
for the protection of health and prop
erty that is being waged the world
over.
In the United States, England and
Germany. the rat annually damages
property to the exte1it of $4,000, 600.
Sir James Crichton Browne, president
of a recently formed international I'M
ion of scientific organizations working
together for the determination of rats,
declares that every rate in the United
States costs the citizens at least two
cents day for it's board. And there
are millions of rats; each female in
creasing the rat population some fifty
o. more year
The rat is eternally hungry, and in
the average home, barn or store, he
inficts serious property damage in a
short time, while with the farmer, en-
tire crops are destroyed, poultry
houses made desolate and fruits and
vegetables ruined.

END OF A RED NOSE
New Flesh-coored Product That Heals
and Hides Skin lmperfections.

A peculiar feature of poslam, new
skin discovery. is that it is naturally
fiesh-colored and contains no grease
so that when used on the face for the
complexion, or for pimples, red noses
or any other infammations, blemish-
es, or discolorations, its presence can
not be detected. 1t can thus be ap
piled in the daytime, tie natural color
of the skin being Immediately restored
and the actual healing and curing
process accomplished in a few days
1t can be had of any pharmacist who
sells pure drugs. Wilkinson & Co
make a specially of it. Fifty cents
worth will answer either for the trou
bles mentioned or in curing ordinary
cases of eczema. Itching stops at
once.
The Emergency Laboratories, No
80 West Twenty-fifth street. New
York, are the sole dispensing agents
for poslam in the United States, and
will send an experimental quantity
by mail in plain wrapper to all who
write fcs it. This will show results
after an overnight application.

ing this worldwide war against the
rodent. for the destruction of property
Is really the least of the many indict-
ments against the rat. AS a germ
carrier and a consequent menace to
health, he is lively and tireless, and
is a pernicious agent for spreading all
manner of disease germs. The rat
has been absolutely proven the means
by which that terrible disease, trich-
inosis, reaches man through the flesh
of the pig. The dread bubonic plague
is spread by the rat, and it was only
through the relentless battle waged
upon the rodent by DIR. Blue and his
associates in San francisco that the
pestilence was evicted from the coun-
try. What San Francisco has done
other cities can and should do says
DIR. Blue. The rodent population
must be attacked now if we would re-
pulse the invader which 'walketh in
darkness and striketh at MONDAY"
1t is only by action and persistent
quate results can be obtained. Boards
of health everywhere should make
systematic efforts to effect their eX-
tirpation and every household should
give its personal aid in lessening the
number of this destructive and dan
gerous animal. The rat-proof con-
struction of buildings and the use of
exterminators that can be bought at
any drug store will go far toward as
surfing public safety. Several bacte-
rial cultures for the extirmination of
rats and mice have been experimental
with, but they appear to possess lit
tie or no advantage over the standard
exterminators whose cost Is mucn
less and whose certainty of opera
/ lions is much greater.

indulgencies. For man to forgive him
self is an absolute impossibility, since
the Bible teaches otherwise.
Scripture quoted, How shall we es-
cape II we neglect so great salvation"
and in Roman 1928 we find For all
have sinned and come short the glory
of God.'
The question for every one of us is,
What are we going to do with sin
in our lives"
Sin is rebellion against God and
the only hope we have of forgiveness
and of exterminating sin in our lives is
by applying to Jesus.
Tue fact of the matter is that the
individual who INDUCES in sinful
things soon looses an adequate con-
ception of what sin really is. We can
by constantly coming in contact with
sin become so accustomed to it that
we will no more draw back in horror
as when we first came in contact with
it,
Sin is wandering. A wandering
that always takes us away from God,
and the farther we wander the less of
light and life and power there is in
us.
1t is also possible that we can wan
der so far away that we loose all de.
sire to ever return, and hence it be-
comes an impossibility for us to re
turn. God being willing to take us
back any time however when we are
willing to quit shining and rebelling
against Him.
Certain characters in history were
spoken of who have committed terrible
crimes who were to certain degree
the victims of mitigating circumstanc-
es, but between God and man there is
not the slightest cause whatever for
condition of this kind to exist, for
God has done everything possible tc
save man. Everything good that man
enjoys is His gift to mankind, and il
can only be our Righteousness agains;
God and the blood stained banner that
will keep up from enjoying an inaer
itance of eternal life, and peace and
satisfaction is this life that is secure
Hence the ACCOMPLISHMENT comes tc
each one of us that we should give
God a chance in our lives, and thus
become men and women of power anG
influence in this life, and heir to q
crown of life in the world to cone.

Much sickness is of nervous
origin. It's the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di-
gest food. the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
If any Of these organs are weak,
it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. DR.. Miles Nervine is
a specific for the nerves. 1t
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation OF nerve force.
Therefore you can hardly miss
it if you take DR.. Miles Nervine
when sick. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all &C
cording to directions, and if it
does not benefit he will return
your money.

Splendid Services at Trinity Metho.
od;st Church Yesterday-A
Large Audience Was in
Attendance.
A LARGE INGATHERING
A Glass of Thlrty-Nine Baptised and
Another of Seventy-Sx Ad.
mitted Into Full Men,
bership Yesterday.

Yesterday was truly a day of great
rejoicing at Trinity Methodist church.
The services and memories of yes
terday will be remembered and pos
sibly never forgotten by the members
of that church and future membership
SO long as Christian Methodism exists
in keokuk, and from present indica-
lions that time will never come.
Notwithstanding the splendid out
pouring of the spirit upon that con-
gregation yesterday, they are thankful
to God and are praying and striving for
further manifestation of Gods pow
er in the lives of those still outside
and some that are inside the church.
The services throughout the day
were evangelistic. There was two
splendid sermons preached of which a
brief mention is here reported.
The morning sermon found it's text
in Revelations, the second chapter,
tenth verse and last clause, BE thou
faithful unto death and l will give thee
crown of life"
The lesson and sermon of the hour
was especially fitting, when it is con-
sidered what followed Immediately af-
tec the sermon.
To summarize the morning sermon
in as few words as possible, the teach
ing was clearly and distinctly set forth
and reasonably proven. that man IS not
intended for this world alone. That
this is merely his abode for a season,
and that if he is faithful here, he shall
receive a crown of life. The thought
was also forcible presented that we
must and should be faithful unto
death and until death.
1t was an inspiring sermon for the
many new converts and others present
and especially appropriate to precede
the services which Immediately fol
lowed when class of thirty-six were
baptised into the faith, and following
| the baptismal service there was re
ception of seventy new members into
the church.
To say that there was rejoicing on
! the part of those present at the gra'
cious ingathering does not fully ex.
press it. There was JOY in the truest
sense of the word, and many tears OF
gratitude were shed.
The evening service also took on an
! ingathering aspect, three being bap
! tised and six taken into full member
! ship, making total for the day Of
/ thirty-nine baptised and seventy-siS
taken into full membership.

jeff Davis Last Proclamation.

Danville, Va. April 5, 1865.
"The general-in-chief found it neces-
sary to make such movements of his
troops as to uncover the capital. IL
would be unwise to conceal the moral
and material injury to our cause result
ing from the occupation of our CAP
ital by the enemy. 1t is equally UNI
wise and unworthy of us to allow our
own energies to falter and our efforts
to become relaxed under reverses
however calamitous they may be. Tor
many months the largest and finest
army of the confederacy, under com
mand of a leader whose presence in
spires equal confidence in the troops
and the people has been greatly tram
meled by the necessity of keeping corr
slant watch over the approaches to
the capital, and has thus been forca1
to forego more than one opportunity
for promising ente rprise. 1t is for US,
my countrymen, to show by our bear
ing under reverseS, how wretched has
been the self-deception of those who
have believed us less able to endure
misfortune than to encounter dangers
with courage.
I'VE have now entered upon a new
phase of the struggle. Relieved from
the uCSSSSley VI PeAi eASuitAA
points, our arm will be free to move
from point to point to strike the
enemy in detail far from it's base. Let
US but will it and we are free.
Animated by that confidence in
spirit and fortitude which never yet
failed me, announce to you fellow
countrymen, that it is nv urpose to
maintain your cause with my whole
heart and soul; that I will never con-
sent to abandon to the enemy one
foot of the confederacy, and that Vir-
ginia-noble state-whose ancient re-
noun has been eclipsed by the still
more glorious recent history, whose
bosom has been barred to receive the
main shock of this war; whose sons
and daughters have exhibited heroism
so sublime as to render her illustrious
in all time to come-that Virginia
with the help of the people and by the
blessing of Providence shall be held
and defended, and no peace ever be
made with the infamous invaders OF
her territory.
If by the stress of numbers we shall
ever be compelled to temporary
withdrawal from her limits or those OF
any other border state, again and
again will we return, until the baffled
and exhausted enemy shall abandon
in despair his endless and impossible
task of making slaves of people re
solved to be free
Let us then, not C1pond, my coun
trymen; but relying on God meet the
foe with fresh defiance and with un
conquered and uncomfortable hearts.
