"MAKES BETTER RAILROADS"
Western Writer Pays Tribute to
Railroad Maenate as Buiider-Up
Of the Country

Mr.. Edward H. Hartman is on a
trip to Europe Ordinarily there
would need be nothing added to this
announcement beyond an exhortation
to Emperor William to chain down his
railroads and to other monarchs to
put their crowns and other valuables
in the safe at night But Mr.. Harri-
man is going of on a pleasure trip,
and so many mean things have been
said about him that 1t will not hurt
any to change the tune a moment
while he is out of the country and
not able to take any advantage OF
the lapse from the cold attitude of Sc
verify that is usually used in men,
tioning the name of Hartman.
OF all the great railroad men de-
veloped in this generation, E. H. Har-
riman is easily the biggest and the
best, says writer in the Hutchinson
(kan.) Daily News. The head of
railroad company, under the rules of
the game, must work for his stock
holders, whether it is for the advan-
tage Of politicians, shippers or con-
sumers. 1t is his job to do the best
he can for the interests entrusted to
his care. Hartman is not only a
tnancier, but he is a builder and an
operator. Lucky is the town, city
or community that has a Hartman
road. He insists on a good roadbed,
level track, safe track and the con-
venience and comfort of the traveller
and the shipper. The Hartman roads
try. When Hartman gets hold of a
one-horse or played-out track and
right of way he proceeds to put it in
first class condition. He does not
ralse the rates of fares, although he
doubtless charges "a plenty" but he
insists that enough of the funds &C

ahead of a good many others and why

Tho Best Food for Workers.

The best food for those who work
with hand or brain is never high
priced.
The best example of this is found in
Quaker Oats. It stands at the top
among foods that supply nourishment
and vigor. without taxing the diges-
ton, and yet it is the least expensive
food one can eat.
This great food value and low cost
make it an ideal food for families who
want to get the greatest good from
what they eat.
Laborers, factory or farm hands, fed
plentifully on Quaker Oats will work
better and with less fatigue than ia
fed on almost any other kind of food,
All of these facts were proved and
very interesting information about
human foods were gathered by Pro-
fessor Fisher Of Yale University in
1908. In addition to the regular pack
age Quaker Oats is packed in large
sized family packages either with or
without china dishes. 8

WHY SALVES FAIL TO CURE
ECZEMA
They Clog the Pores-Only Liquid
Can Reach the Inner Skin.


Since the old fashioned theory of
curing eczema through the blood has
been given up by scientists, many
different salves have been tried for
skin diseases. But it has been found
that these salves only clog the pores
and cannot penetrate to the inner
skin below the epidermis where the
eczema germs are lodged.
Thistle quality of penetrating
explains the tremendous
success of the only standard liquid
eczema cure, oil of wintergreen, as
compounded in D. D. D. Prescription.
After ten years of cure after cure, the
worlds leading skin specialists have
accepted this as the true eczema
cure.
We ourselves do not hesitate to
recommend d. d. d. Prescription at
$1.0O bottle, but for the benefit of
those who have never tried the pre-
scrlption, we arranged with the D.
D. d. Laboratories of Chicago for a
special large trial bottle at 25 cents
on a special offer now. This first
bottle ought to convince any sufferer,
and, at any rate, it will surely take
away the itch at once. l.: P. Van

IOWA MAY LOSE HOLDEN.
Great Corn Expert Now in West and
May Decide to Remain There.

Will Iowa lose Prof. P. G. Holden,
the great corn expert, who has been
at the head of the extension depart
ment OF Iowa state College of Agri-
culture at Ames for several years?
Holden is consider the best of the
foremost corn men in the United
States. He started many years ago
as a country school teacher up in
Michigan and has been studying corn
ever since. For many years he held
a position as professor in the state
agricultural college of Illinois and
then was employed by Funk Bros,
who own extensive farm lands. From
there he same to Iowa.
Professor Holden is now in Idaho,
where he has been since last June
employed in managing extensive farm
lands in which he is financially inter-
ested 1t is learned that he had not
returned to the college at Ames up to
a few days ago An effort was made
here to ascertain when he is coming
back and there seems to be some
question whether he will come back
to Iowa at all or not. His depart
ment at Ames is temporarily in the
hands Of Prof. A.V. Storms, who had
charge of the educational exhibit of
the rural schools at the state fair. OF
course Professor Holden is not draw
| ing any salary from the state college
during his absence and it is claimed
that as soon as he has properly ar
ranged his affairs in Idaho he may
yet be induced to return to Iowa and
/! continue his work.
Professor Holden is considered one
of the best informed corn men in the
country. He was employed by pri
vate interests in Illinois when he was
brought to Iowa, the state college moi
having sufficient funds to pay him i;
salary that would bring him; Five
citizens of the state, who were deeply
interested in the welfare of the col
