TO HELP rae soYs OF OUR LAND
An Iowa PhiIanihropist Moves in a Psae,
teal Way

To every boy in Iowa who will take a
pledge to use neither tobacco nor liquor,
Samuel Saucerman, a wealthy Des-
Moines resident, viii give 81, cent a
day for three years and another dollar
at the end of the three years.
At the same time he urges the BOYS
who accept his proposition to save the
nickels and dimes they would otherwise
have spent for tobacco and alcoholic
drinks and put them with their account.
He has figured out that if the boys will
do this none will arrive at the age of q
years without having enough to take
him through college or give him good
start in life.
SIR. Saucermanis reputed to be worth
81, 500, 900. The new organization he is
perfecting TO help boys is to be known
as 1.-The Trimmer Band. {" To demon
trate his earnestness, he has deposited
in the name Of '"Ghe Trimmer Band
IS, 900, which is draW wing interest.
The plan as outlined by Mr.. Saucer
man is to take boys from the age of
8 to 16 and organize them into plants
or companies of fifty or 100. He would
have these boys hold monthly meetings,
at which they would discuss and be
taught economy, finance and how to
earn money, clean living and everything
in line with industry and morals.
Each boy on joining the club will re-
ceiye 81. The boy must deposit with
his dollar so cents, to show good faith.
Starting his bank account with $1.50,
each boy will receive one penny day
for three years, and at the end of that
period he will receive an additional 81.
This will give them $12 if they have not
saved one cent themselves. He urges
them to save their nickels and dimes Sc
as to be prepared to start life right.
The pledge each boy takes on joining
the Trimmer Band is to abstain from
tobacco in any form, intoxicating
liquors, gambling of any kind, and pro.
fame and slang language.

DEATH OF MRS. PHILIP BouFFLEUR

There are but two names greater than wife and

ECZEMA LODGES IN THE SKIN
Not Blood Disease-cured by Oil Of
Wintergreen Compound

For many years eczema was sup
posed to be a blood disease and was
enormously treated as such, but now
the best authorities agree that eczema
is only a skin disease and must be
cured through the skin. The eminent
skin specialist DR.. D. D. Dennis, first
discovered the eczema germ and his
discovery was quickly taken up in
Germany and France.
To kill the eczema germ and at the
same time heal the skin, DR.. Dennis
compounded oil of wintergreen, thymoi,
glycerine, etc. The remedy is a liquid,
not a mere salve, hence it sinks right
into the pores CT the skin. Washing
with this oil of wintergreen compound
seems to take away the itch at once;
soon the scales drop away and the dis
ease disappears. The prescription has
now been used SO long as to have prov.
en- its absolute merit and we do not
hesitate to express our confidence in
D. d. D. Prescription as used with
ID. D, d. Soap.
