Oil of Wintergreen, Thymoi,
Glycerine, Etc. Used as a
Simple Wash.

Simple Wash.
Ii really seems strange that
so many people suffer year in
and year out with eczema, when
it is low no longer a secret
that oil of wintergreen mix ed
with thymoi, glycerine, etc,
makes a wash that is bound to
cure.
Old, obstinate cases, it is
true, cannot be cured in a few
days, but there is absolutely no
sufferer from eczema VIII ever
used this simple wash and did
not find Immediately that won.
derfully soothing, calm, cool
sensation that comes when the
itch is taken away. Instantly
upon applying a lew drops OF
the wash the remedy takes
effect, the itch is allayed. There
is no need of experiment-the
patient knows at once.
Instead of trying to compound
the oil of wintergreen, thymoi,
glycerine, etc.. in the right
proportions ourselves we are
using a prescription which is
universally found the most
effective. 1t is known as the
ID. D. D. Prescription, or Oil of
Wintergreen Compound. It is
made by the d. D. D. Co. of
Chicago, and our long exper-
fence with this remedy has
given US great confidence in its
merits. Robt. w. Harvey

A just Order.

A just Order.
Judge 0. D. Wheeler, of this
judicial District, while holding
court in Atlantic, Cass County.
Iowa, made the following order:
"Now on this Goth day of Jam
uary 1909, it is herby ordered
by this Court that all Executors,
Administrators, Trustees and
Guardians who have not per-
formed the duties required of
them by law, be cited by the
Clerk to appear herein on or
before the 18th day Of March,
1909, and file herein inventori-
es, annual or final reports, lists
OF heirs and real estate, appra-
isement bills, etc, pay all costs
due and other duties required
OF them by the Court, to be in
dictated by Notice to Admins
TRAITORS, Executors, Trustees or
Guardians to perform duty, to
be filled out by the Clerk of this
Court and mailed in envelopes
with return to said Clerk and
mailed to the last known resi-
dencence o. such Administra-
tor, Executor, Trustee or Guar
dian, as the case may be.
CHE Clerk of this Court is
directed to have printed a suffi-
Gent number Of this order and
send the same, accompanying
Notice to Administrators, ETC.,
TO Perform Duty, as directed
above to all officers of this Court
in Probate who are delinquent
in their duties.
"This order not to be mailed
by the Clerk later than March
4th, 1909.
Cali Administrators, Execu-
tors, Trustees and Guardians
talse notice Of this Order, and
fis4s fsot to perform such duties,
under tho penalties Of the law
made ant! provided in such ca
SEES"
Q. d. Wheeler, Judge.
Dated, Jan. 29th 1909.
This is . subject that has been
more sc 0erally neglected than
almost any other Official bust
ness In many counties in Iowa
as vel as Cass, and is cae of
vital Importance to all PARTIES
Interested in the settlement of
estates. Some Administrators
permit the business to drag for
years. while costs are unpaiJ,
and Interested parties are kept
|out of their just dues. We are
glad to see move, on the part
of Judge Wheeler, to correct
this slip-shod manner Of con
Quoting Administrations of Es-
tates.
We are inclined to believe
that it would be q good plan to
have a County Officer, to be
known as County Administra-
to, whose duty it would be to
take charge of all administra-
tions in the county, mot other
wise provided for), and requi-
red under sufficient bond, to do
his official duty according to
law. This would bring system
and safety into the settlement
/ of the estates of the dead who
are deprived of the privilege
Of attending to their own bust
ness. D. M. Fl.

SEATTLE'S MILK SUPPLY.

City Health Officer j. E. Crichton
states that the excellent character of
Seattle's milk supply is now an estab-
lished fact. He says:
st is less than a year since the
Department of Health and Sanitation
began a vigorous campaign for better
milk, which campaign met with siren
uous opposition from certain milk pro-
ducers and dealers. This opposition
was based on the mistaken belief that
it would not pay to produce a pure
milk, that it would not be CONNER
cially successful, because of a limited
demand.
"This has proved a fallacy, for the
people want pure milk, and are will
ing to pay for it, and what is more
they are going to have it. This is
shown by the great increase in the
use of certified milk in the city. 1t is
true that the number of bacteria
found in the milk supplied by many
diaries is as low as that of certified
milk, but the most of us who have chill
dren at home are quite willing to pay
the extra price for the sake of having
that delightfully."- comfortable feeling
that none of our children is going to
contract tuberculosis through the use
of milk from tubercular cows.
"In the not distant future, it will be
recognized by milk producers that it
pays to have their herds tuberculin
tested, as the people are coming more
and more to recognize that it is eco
nomical to use only the highest grade
of milk for their families"
Some very good work has been done
under DR.. Crichton's administration;

The joint committee from Clallam
and Jefferson counties OIL exhibits at
the A.-Y.-P. Exposition have closed a
contract which will insure that Sec
ton of a fine display in the line of
dairying. Largely through the instru-
mentality of d. S. Troy, of China
cum, who has become a member of
the joint committee in place of Mr..
B anchard, the details have been ar
ranged. The Fair Commission is to
erect a model dairy plant in the Clal-
lam-Jefferson section, and the Glendale
Creamery Company is to install the
exhibit. The De Laval Separator Com
pany, which works in conjunction with
the Glendale people, is to install all
the machinery, and The display will
be secured without expense to the
fund provided by the two counties.

also some very foolish work that
would not have been tolerated a
the dairymen been properly organized
to maintain their rights as producers.
There is a large class of Seattle citi-
zens that do not have the daily income
that will permit them to pay the price
that pertains to certified milk to
whom milk is as much a necessity as
to those with larger incomes. Too
high a standard is as injurious as n
too low.
