mine workers now in session in this city

ordering general suspension. OF coal min

A DUTY WAIVED.

Pure, rich blood, firm muscles, rugged
strength, steady nerves and clear
brain are essential to the person who
wishes to succeed in getting his share
of happiness and prosperity.
The nervous system is prepared to
meet certain amount of drain because
the blood is forever carrying nourish-
ment 10 the nerves and building them
up, so that the blood really feeds the
nerves; but where the drain upon the
nerves is unusually great through ex-
cesses or overwork. the demand
exceeds the supply, there is nervous
arrangement AID the foundation for
serious ailments is laid.
While the average citizen exercises
shrewdness> 10 guarding against mis-
takes that will injure his business
interests, he too often overestimates the
strength of his constitution; work on
day after day overtaxing his physical
being, refuses to recognize the signs of
the approaching break down and cheer
faiiy valves the duty he owes to his
family, friends and self-that of pre-
serving as nearly as he can, a state of
perfect health.
If the man who has drifted into this
condition would use the same con-
sentative judgment in his search for
rehabilitation that the he does in other
things, he would consult and able
specialist who has proved what medical
science, vast experience in treating
such cases and business integrity com
bined. can do for those afflicted
DR. L. M. Turbin, the specialist from
Chicago, who is widely known as the
most successful specialist in chronic
ana nervous diseases has perfected a
method of treatment which, if followed
carefully, will stop forever the
dangerous drains upon the system,
Danish ill-health and restore lost power
and strength to the patient.
Years of faithful service in which the
doctor has made regular monthly visits
to our city and the wonderful results
achieved by him in his skillful treat
ment of serious eases, have earned for
him an enviable reputation among our
friends and neighbors-
Each and every ole is assured the
best treatment that science and skill
can evolve. and every patient is given
the best care and attention, so that any
one in need of medical treatment should
consult the doctor.

FOR STATE SUPERINTENDENT.

In the opinion of the undersigned,
Junius T. Hooper, is the best of the
candidates for the office of state super
intendent of schools Mr. Hooper is a
native of Wisconsin, and has come up
through the entire Wisconsin school
system, rural school, high school, and
state university. In scholarship he is
the superior of the other candidates,
and is also superior to them in energy
and vigor of mind. He will get things
done and bring something to pass. He
is q man of broad views and high
ideals. The rural schools will receive
sympathetic and intelligent assistance
from him. For five years he taught in
the rural schools during the winter and
did creamery work in the summer.
His experience as city superintendent
has given him clear understanding of
the needs of city schools, and he can be
more helpful to the city system than
any other candidate. His keen insight
and broad vision will make him valu
able member of the board of regents OF
the university. and the board of
regents of normal schools of which the
state superintendent is ex-officio q
member.
Mr. Hooper is good public speaker,
who always has something to say and
knows how to say it. This is important
for the state superintendent takes a
leading part in all programs of
teachers associations in the state and
is the official representative of the state
of Wisconsin at all national gatherings.
In our judgment, MIR. Hooper more
than any other candidate, possesses the
qualities that will make well
balanced, vigorous and efficient state
superintendent.
