 Are Permanent.
 Most treatments for rheumatism aim to keep down" tho poison in the blood and enable nature to cure that particular attack. Then, when the system be- comes run down from any cause the disease again gets the upper hand, and it all has to be done over.
 The tonic trestment with Dr. VII HAms' Pink Pills has proved by hundreds of cures that it builds up the blood to . point that enables 1t to cast out these poisons through the regular channels of excretion, the bowels, kidneys and the skin When this is done the rheuma- tism is permanently cured and as the blood is kept pure and rich the patient will be immune from attacks of rheums- tism.
 Mrs. ,. L. Deacks, of No. ii6 Pearl street, Newton, Mass, has no hesitation in recommending Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for rheumatism. She says:
 q suffered for years from rheuma. tism, which, think, was brought on by exposure. had terrible shooting pains in my limbs and the muscles of my hands. Twas very nervous and at times was 90 restless that could not sleep. Oftentimes 1 was in such . condition that I could hardly move about.
 ''I used liniments but they did noth- ing more than ease the pain for . time. Finally I began taking Dr. Williams Pink Pills upon the advice of friend They seemed to be just what needed. My nerves became steadier and in . short time the pains had disappeared. can heartily recommend Dr. Williams Pink Pilla"
 If you are suffering from rheumatism and the treatment you are taking Is not relieving you, or if you are actually get ting worse while taking other treat ment, then do not delay but give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills thsrough trial. The remedy that cures others will cure you.
 A booklet, Diseases of the Blood, '' will be sent free to any sufferer from rheumatism upon request.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists. or will be mailed postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box; six boxes for e2.b0. by the Dr. Williams Medicine Comnany. Schenectady, N. Y.

Prompted by the martial spirit which was so characteristic of him, he for maIly chanllenged his erstwhile friend, Winslow. to battle.

 NO higher compliment was ever naid to semmes than that implied by the action of Winslow.

FIRST SEMI ANNUAL SETTLE.

NEW PLAN.
BANKS NOW PAY
1Is PER CENT ANNUALLY
New Law Goes Into Effect July q Re-
curing That Interest Be 2 Per Cent
Deposits Vary Greatly at Different
Seasons-county Funds Are Readily
Loaned by Banks.

Since January of this year the
used as repositories for county funds
have paid u per cent interest on such
funds payable monthly, according to
a decision made by the board of super
visors at the December session. Prior
to January last no interest was paid
by the banks on county money. But
new law will go into effect July 4,
next requiring banks to pay 2 per cent
on deposits of county money.
Under the arrangement made be-
tween the board of supervisors and
the banks the latter are required to
make settlement with the county treas
urer in January and June of each year
recently been completed. 1t shows
that the amount of county funds de-
posted in the various banks on Jan.
4. 1909, was S64,06496 and an June IA
it was S79.SS2.4S. At these semi-an-
nual accountings the banks must show
the county treasurer that they have in
dCluGl CASH Oh manu- luc dlllOuHL u5-
posted with them at and since the be-
ginning of the period, less such
amounts as may have been withdrawn
from time to time by the county.
OF course the banks loan this county
money and at greater interest than
they pay. AS proof that they loan it
readily, the fact may be cited that one
or two banks overlooked the matter of
showing the money at a settlement re-
Gently and had TO borrow from outside
sources for the purpose. 1t is but nat
ural that the banks should be more
sSlicitous about loaning county money
for which they pay but liz per cent
than time deposits on which they pay
! 3 and per cent.
The amount of county funds in the
4 bank repositories varies greatly at diff
ferent periods After the first SEMI
annual payment of taxes, in April, the
bank balance reached s223,S64.4S. The
disbursements since, however. have re-
duced this amount until on June IL it
was only s79,SS216, or s5,s1720 more
than the balance on Jan. !.

VAN LAW BEFORE COAL MEN.
Senator From This County Takes RAP
at Growing Trusts.

addressed the eleventh annual con-
vention of the Iowa Nebraska Retail
Coal Dealers Association, which held
its state convention in Des Moines be-
ginning on Tuesday and continuing
over today Mr.. Van Laws address
was aimed at the growing trusts. which
he declared menace to the country
Mr.. Van Law said that the central
ization of wealth and commercial power
is the greatest menace to commercial
advancement. He declared that it is
bringing about the enslavement of the
American people and dominates the
minds of those who might rise in COM
mercial world were it not for the thought
that their efforts would be tiiwarted by
this centralized power in the event that
they attempted to rise above the medi-
OGRE plane of dispenser of the pro-
ducts Of centralized wealth.
It is the work of commercial and
labor organizations, according to the
senator, to rid the country of the evil
effects Of trusts and monopoles. This
they can do by banding themselves
closely together and having as their
sole aim the enactment of legislation
that will weaken the power Of the con-
Germs which control the output fix the
prices on various commodities and by
underhand methods seek to eliminate
all competition.

PASTOR DID RIGHT, SAYS THE
CHURCH, IN REFUSING TO
ACT AT FUNERAL.
NOT PUT CHURCH
IN SECOND PLACE
Pastor Would Have Been Open to
Church Discipline Had He Entered
With Lodge in Funeral Service, De-
cIares United Norwegian Lutheran
Church at Des Moines.

The United Norwegian Lutheran
church, in session at Des Moines, up
held the action of Rev. o. Qualen, of
this city, in refusing to preach the
funeral sermon of Nick" Jorgensen
when the A. o. U. w. lodge had been
invited to take charge of the services
at the grave. The church body de-
clares that Mr.. Qualen did right, and
that the church must not take second
place in any service
This mornings Register and Leader
outlines the action of the church in
the case as follows:
Despite all of the threats that were
made to have him ousted from the ma
tional church body, the churchmen in
the United Norwegian Lutheran church
yesterday rallied to the support of Rev.
o. A. Qualen, pastor of the Norwegian
Lutheran church in Marshalltown, who
refused to take part in the funeral
services of a lodgeman because the
lodge wanted to take the prominent
part in the ritual service.
SSooAS4 was c N1SilO1 az lllS
convention yesterday and received a
hearty ministerial greeting and appro-
baton for his act. Under the rules of
the United Lutheran church, Mr.. Quail
en- could not have done anything else
without mourning the disapproval of
his national church.
In defense of Mr.. Qualen's position
on the lodge question, a teacher of dog
mates in the theological seminary of
the church stated yesterday that Mr..
Qualen would have made himself liable
to church censure had he officiated as
a minister at the burial of lodge man
when the church would have had to
take second place.
In explaining his attitude yesterday,
the Rev Mr.. Qualen said: i could
have done nothing else but to refuse to
officiate as a minister of the church
when the church would have had to
take second place. The church does
not officiate at the services of the dead
except as church. 1t was not Qualen,
but the church that should have been
represented first if it were to have a
religious service.
The church does not permit and
should not take part equally in a lodge
service when the name of Jesus
Christ is not mentioned in the ritual.
The church will act in connection with
any lodge service providing the service
of the lodge mentions the name of
Jesus Christ.
The church can not commit the
body to the grave and then allow the
lodge to commit it over again neither
in the name of any church nor of
Jesus Christ, for whom the church
alone stands. There is not church
man here who would have not taken
the same attitude"
