up but not yet unveiled. The figure
OF the general had been heavily padded,

THE DISEASE
IS Durable

O.ivermore, California, Herald)
The disease which ranks second to
consumption in fatalities and which
has been deemed equally fatal is
Bright's Disease. That it is now
positively durable is known to compar-
atively few people Unfortunately,
the new treatment for Bright's Dis
ease comes under the head of proprie-
tary preparations and medical ethics
forbid a recognition of its merits. The
Herald takes the view that having
positive knowledge Of cures effected,
its duty to its readers and to human
ity is to state the facts. The publish
er knows of two cases in which it has
effected permanent cures and of two
others who had practically abandoned
hope, but who are now regaining their
health This paper is not pecuniarily
interested, and this statement is made
solely with view of aiding such peo-
pie as may be afflicted with Bright's
Disease and have despaired of recov-
cry. Should any such receive benefit
we will feel amply repaid for diverg-
ing from the beaten journalistic path.

1t was Something terrible.
PRESCRIPTIONS FAILED:
CUTICURA CURED HIM

II have used the Cuticura Remedies
for very bad case OF eczema with com
plete success. About fifteen or eighteen
years ago the disease developed in the
shape Of q large pinhead on top Of my
hand. 1t burned and itched SO much
that was compelled to show 1t to a doc
tor. He pronounced it ringworm, and
wash and told me to apply it before go-
ing to bed and all would be over in the
morning. But the next morning my
hand was all swollen up and I poulticed
it. When the doctor came to his office
showed him the hand and to my sur
prise he told me that he had never ex-
perienced such case in his practice and
said it was well poulticed it. After
trying his different remedies the disease
increased and went up my arms and
finally to my thighs and legs generally
and finally on my face. The burning
was something terrible. After had
tried this doctor, as / thought, long
enough, went to another doctor who
had the reputation of being the best in
eczema and that it would take quite
while to cure it. His medicine checked
the advance Of the disease but no fur
Their.
II finally concluded to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies. l bought a cake Of
Cuticura Soap, q box of Cuticura Oint-
ment and q bottle of Cuticura Resolvent
and found relief in the first trial. / con-

Standing OF Clubs.

C.. J. Smiths remarkable score of
263 In the first game between the
Keokuk Club and Grand Leaders on
the Keokuk Club alleys last night,
gave the club cam handicap that
the Grand Leader men found unable
to overcome and although the last
two games were very close, last years
champions won handily by 208 pins.
The work of Smith in the first game
was easily the feature Of the match,
and the mark may stand the attack of
this seasons bowling. In order to
record the mark it was necessary for
him to get ten strikes out of ros-
sible twelve. He opened with a
turkey" and in the fourth frame
drew s'baby'' cplit, which he failed
to make. He then made six strikes
in a row and on his last ball got
seven pins Had he rolled good
games in his second and third high
average might have been hung up,
but the slump of 152 and 141 carried
his average to 1856 1-3.
AOAAA ShiS oPOAiAE luc CrIdAll L6du-
ers were unable to connect with the
pins. Wolf was unable to hit them
where thew were thick and Ray Baur
drew split after split, getting nine of
them in the three games. me splits
made it an uphill fight and other
members of the team drew their
share. The Keokuk Club won the first
two games, the first by 200 pins and
the second by Ia pins The third
was lost to the Grand Leaders by 6
pins.
Taber was unable to hit the pins
also. but the other four bowlers were
well aup. and the total Of 1921 was
good. For the Grand Leaders O'Blen-
ness was the most consistent perform
er. The handicap which the Grand
Leaders had to give the Club was
not needed, and is not entered in the
totals.

Look to Social Features.

1.-THE club will extend its energies
in a social way during the coming win
ter season. said E. r. Cochrane
shortly after emerging from the di-
rectors' meeting. Gard parties will
be the special diversion, and it is
expected that many of them will be
given during the season. Not only
one or two. but number will be ar
ranged for the entertainment of the
club members and their friends
It is expected that the Keokuk
Club will be more active than ever and
that not only card parties but dances
will be given. There are :. number of
ways in which it is expected entertain
ment will be afforded and the plans
should meet with the approval of
those who will enjoy them. Quite a
number of new members have b<en
added to the membership during the
past two months, several Of them
being of the younger set who hay =
caused an influx of new life to the
social club.
The bowling alleys were opened
but recently and more members are
taking part in the sport than ever
before The tournament last even
ing attracted quite number of spec
tators who are members, and there
was general enthusiasm shown.

Made Committee Report to
Enthusiastic Meeting
Last Night.
NO LEGAL IMPLEMENTS
Committee Believes There Is Nothing
to Hinder the Collecting Of
Revenue, but Suggests
No Method.

The committee appointed to dis
cover the legal method of raising
revenue for the year 1910 under the
commission form of government, made
its report to an enthusiastic meeting
at the district court house last even
ing, and in the report stated that they
believed that the city ordinances for
raising revenue are still in force, re-
CARELESS of the new form of govern
ment. Also that the assessor can
make returns and the new council or
commission can then proceed with the
assessment, equalization and levy OF
the taxes. The committee did not in
their report suggest a method or time
or collecting such revenue, but are
satisfied that there are ro legal i'm
pediments in collecting ssme.
Committees Report.
To the citizens meeting, Nov. Is, 1909
Your committee. to discover the
legal method of raising revenue for
the year 1910. beg to report that they
have examined the legal phases OF
this question and believe that the or
dinances of the city of Keokuk, for

We further believe tina. pnder the

can then proceed with the assess
ment, equalization and levy of the
taxes under these ordinances as they
now exist and as the new council IN
der the commission plan came in be-
fore the levy of the taxes under these
ordinances. the new council might
equalize and levy such taxes with the
same effect as If the commission plan
Law had not taken eaeo.
Your committee does lot at this
time suggest methoI or time of col
lecting such revenue htit are satisfied
that there are no serious legal impedi-
ments in collecting this revenue or
