At THE MARKET PLACE
City Council Decides to Make Perm
anent Improvements.

The subject of the Market place and
the hitch racks was taken up at
special meeting OF the city council
Monday evening and the matter was
thoroughly aired by the council and
a special committee of the business
men of the city who came to the ses-
sion. The outcome of the talk was
most satisfactory to all concerned.
The Market place is to be made a
permanent affair. It is to be paved
and made thoroughly sanitary. 1t
will be kept clean. The place is to
be amply lighted. A special police will
be assigned to the vicinity to give
protection to the property left by
those who make use of the market
or the racks In addition to this, B.
A. Wright, who has the scale house
will have a checking place that will
be free of any charge to the farmers
and parcels, whips or bundles OF any
kind may be left in his charge.
The subject was brought up by the
appearance OF the committee OF bust,
ness men who discussed the plans.
Councilman Campbell expressed his
views to the effect that the Market
place should be a permanent and a
sanitary affair, better than anything
that the city has yet had In this line
This was the concensus Of opinion on
the part of the business men and Mr.
|Campfield's motion that the market
place be paved was carried.
The paving of the lots will not In
iterfere with the arrangement OF the
hitch racks now erected at the place
and the place may be used while the
! improvement is in progress. The
racks will be left as they are now 10
Gated and the pavement will be placed
over a small section or along one side
of a rack at a time. This will permit
the use of all other parts of the YARD
while the improvement is being made
When one side Of a rack is finished
this will be open for use and the work
will be done on the opposite side. Al
the work for the pavement will bt
paid for by the city, the necessary no
tees to property owners and othel
preliminaries will not be necessary
and the work can be commenced with
in a short time. The paving may b.
let to contractors or it may be don,
by the day by the city.
The council also granted permission
to all of the churches of Oskaloosa t,
erect tie racks at or about thei
churches for the accommodation o
| teams. Harris Brothers have report
ed that they will erect about one hun
dred feet of accommodations TO
teams at the vacant lot east OF tn
! fire station, and other accommodation
are going up here and there in variou
parts OF the city. Oskaloosa toda

The 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. 1t stands at the ton
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 II 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 if
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-
lessor 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

DECLARE ALCOHOL
ENEMY OF MORALS
American Delegates to interna-
tionaI Drink Congress Report.
CONDEMN DRINKING HABIT
Twenty-Five Governments Were Rep.
resented-Greater Interest Shown
at Conference Than Ever
Was Known.

Washington, Nov. S.--Alcohol and
alcoholism are two of the real and
substantial enemies of moral, artistic
and commercial progress of the hu.
man race, according to the report of
the United States delegation to the
twelfth international congress on al.
coholism, made public by the state de-
partment.
Knox Appoints Delegates.
The delegates were appointed by
Secretary Knox as one of his first Off
cial acts. The congress was held last
July in London and % governments
were represented, the delegates of
each concurring in the general finding
that alcohol not only was unnecessary
to human life and comfort, but was in
imical to both.
Great Interest Is Shown.
According to the report the interest
shown in the congress was greater
than ever was known before Because
of the information evolved at the con-
gress the delegates accepted the fnvi-
tation of the queen of Holland to hold
their next meeting, two years hence,
at The Hague, in conjunction with the
conference of the committee that is
working for International peace.
While the congress urged the neces-
sity of imposing the most rigorous re-
strictions on the sale and traffic in al
coholic liquors, it regarded as equally
important the need of educating the
younger generation to true knowl-
edge of what alcohol is and what it's
effects upon the human system are.
The delegates believe that the numer-
GUS recent discoveries as to the harm
fulness of drunkenness, and even
moderate" drinking also, should be
set before children in order that they
may see the danger of the practice.

Home Cure for ECzema
Oil of Wintergreen, ThymoI,
Glycerine, ETC., Used as
Simple Wash.

1t really seems strange that so
many people suffer year in and year
out with eczema, when it is now no
longer a secret that oil Of winter
green mixed with thymol, glycerine,
etc., makes wash that is bound to
cure.
Old, obstinate cases, il is true,
cannot be cured in few days, but,
there is absolutely no sufferer from
eczema who ever used this simple
wash and did not find Immediately
that wonderfully soothing, calm,
cool sensation that comes when the
itch is taken away. Instantly upon
applying few drops of the wash
the remedy takes effect, the itch is
allaye6. There is no need of exper-
iment-the patient knows at once.
Instead of trying to compound the
oil of wintergreen, thymol, 9lycer-
inc, etc., in the right proportions
ourselves we are using a prescrip.
ton which is universally found the
most effective. 1t is known as the
D. D. D. Prescription, or Oil of
Compound. 1t is made
by the D. D. D. Co. of Chicago, and
our long experience with this reme-
dy has given US great confidence in
it's merits. Taggart's Rexall Storei
