Free Remedy For
Weak Bowels

There are two forms OF bodily
cleanliness, the external and the in
ternal. The one is for your pride in
yourself; the other for your life and
health. Both are important, but Of
vastly more Importance in the long
run is the internal cleanliness.
This Is one point that all should watch
about their body-the cleanliness OF the
poWeis. Keep them clean and free from
distractions. To do this you must have
each twenty-four hours. II your system
does not do this naturally. In the process
OF eating and drinking then you must
obtain aid OF some kind. After finding
out that cathartics. salts and such things
relieve you for a day, but bind you up
worse than ever the next day, then try q
simpler and more natural remedy like

BOLD BANDITS
DUPLICATE ACT
HoIdup in Burlington Last Evening 10
Identical in Many Respects to
That Which Occurred
in keokuk.
POINTS OF SIMILARITY
Prominent Burlington Man Held up in
Almost Same Manner Albert
cushman Was Short
Time Ago.

1t may be that the two footpads who
held up Albert Cushman short time
ago are not local characters, or if
they are they may be entering upon a
career Of crime and bold maneuvers
that will land them in the peniten-
tiary.
A holdup occurred in Burlington last
evening that resembles very much the
work of the same parties who worked
on young Cushman. The victim was
also returning home from work; the
time was almost tae same; the
method of permitting their victim to
pass between them was likewise fol-
lowed out. Even what little descrip-
ton was given corresponds in some de-
tail. The Hawk-Eye contained the fol-
lowing story in this mornings issue:

1t was brought out at the discus

Following the command to throw up
his hands, the neryy desperadoes or
dered Mr.. Burrus to keep still and not
make move.
1t required but a few seconds to rife

one of the pair told Mr.. Burrus to
march on and not look back. He did

while the men disappeared In the dark

Mr.. Burrus lost no time in tele.
