Cures Eczema Quickly
New Discovery Has RevoIutiontxed
the Treatment Of Skin Diseases.

Nothing In the history OF medicine
has ever approached the success Of the
marvellous skin remedy known as pos
lam. which, 1t is safe to say, has cured
more cases Of eczema and skin dis
eases than any remedy ever offered
for these ills.
'fne success Of poslam is not at all
surprising when 1t is considered that
even very small quantity applied to
the skin stops itching Immediately
and cures chronic cases in two weeks.
The very worst cases OF eczema as
well as acne, herpes, letter, piles,
salt rheum. rash, crusted hunlors,
scaly scalp and every form Of itch,
yield to It readily. Blemishes such as
ptmples, red noses, muddy and inflam-
ed skin disappear almost Immediately
when poslam is applied, the complex
ion being cleared overnight.
Every druggist keeps both the So
cent size (for mdnor troubles) and the
~ jar, and either Of these may be OBJ.

GRAY HAIRS BANlsHED.

The old idea of using sage for dark
ening the hair is again coming III
vogue. Our grandmothers used to have
dark, glossy hair at the age of seventy
five. while our mothers have white
hair before they are fifty. Our grand
mothers used to make sage tea"
and apply it to their hair. The tea
made their hair soft and glossy and
gradually restored the natural color.
One objection to using such a prepar-
alton was the trouble Of making 1t, es-
pecially as 1t had to be made every
two or three days on account OF II
souring quickly This objection has
been overcome, and by asking almost
any first class druggist for Wyeth's
sage and Sulphur the public can get a
superior preparation of sage, with the
admixture Of sulphur, another valuable
remedy for hair and scalp troubles.
Daily use Of this preparation will not
only quickly restore the color OF the
hair but will also stop the hair from
falling out and make it grow It is

RACES
CALLED OFF
Those Who Had Counted 50 Much on
Seeing the $1,000 Races viii
be Disap-
pointed.
SAND BAR HAS FORMED
That is the Principal Reason the
Races in August Have Been
Called off; Also Lack Of
interest.


The Burlington races which were
to have been held in August will not
come off after all, and the event
which would have been one Of the
most exciting and one where some
titles Of fast motor boats would have
been won or lost, has been called off,
and some other city, If 1t cares to,
must raise the 81, 900 purse to see the
racers fly over the course.
This mornings Burlington Hawk
Eye tells Of the calling off of the
big speed races there next month in
the following manner:
The unexpected has happened and
the promoters OF the big motor boat
race have decided to call off the con-
test as a result of the continued drop
ping Of the water. A bar has formed
across the course "a short distance
north Of the city that threatens to
block navigation and might effectually
destroy the value Of the race, as 1t
would be impossible to hold the con-
test opposite the water front.
A telegram was sent yesterday after
noon to the owners OF the General
Smalley at Bay City, Mich, stating
that the race had been called OF, and
letters were sent last night to all Of
the other racing men who had de-
clared their intention of taking part
In the contest. The local promoters
had endeavored to put on contest
that would prove the biggest thing in
motor boat circles ever held In this
country, an event drawing thousands
of persons to Burlington. 1t had been
arranged to hold the fire works exhibit
at night, and this feature alone would
have attracted thousands of persons to
Burlington.
We did all that was possible to put
through the contest" stated a mem.
Der of the committee yesterday, land
| it is unfortunate for the people of
Burlington that the event has been
declared off. Reports had been receiv-
ed from many towns of large crowds
coming here to witness the big race
and fire works. An event would have
resulted that would have been a fine
thing from sporting and business
standpoint. and would have advertis-
ed Burlington far and wide. II enough
interest should be shown later to war
rant pulling of the contest, perhaps
another committee will find demand
for the race provided the stage OF
water is right.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1909-07-27
Discouraged.

THE committee was discouraged at
the lack of interest shown in the con-
test by the interests that would have
directly benefited from the big race,
and are entirely willing to drop the
whole matter now that the stage of
water threatens to spoil the contest"
In this connection it is pointed out
that the finest lot of pyrothechnics
ever bought for Burlington celebra-
tion is on hand, and the question Of
the time to give this exhibit is before
the people who subscribed the money
for the fire works. 1t is suggested
that the display be held early In Aug
ust. and that committee of business
men be appointed to take charge of
the matter. The money is in hand to
pay for the pyrotechnics, and the only
expense attached would be in connec-
ton with the services of an expert
from ST. Louis to attend to the firing
and the necessary barges on which to
set off the display.
1.-The hundreds of visitors were
badly disappointed when rain stopped

gatta,' business man stated yester-
day. mo time should be lost in an

in MEMORIAM
John McDanieIs Was a Nonagene1,.srr1., !,
A Respected Pioneer, A Christian
An Honest Man

John McDanieis was born In Lowell,
Maine, August s, 1915, where he re-
sided until about 1856, when he
removed to Connemaugh, Pennsyl-
vania. In 1868 he left there, going to
Warren, Pennsylvania, where he re-
sided until 1859. He then came west
to Atlantic, Iowa, and engaged in the
banking business. He became q resi-
dent of Extra III 1895, and as a citizen
of sterlirg worth, he will be greatly
missed here as we'll as in Atlantic.
He married Julia A Hamblen of
Lowell. Maine, November TO- 1916
She was beloved wife and true
helpmeet as we'll as gentle, cultured
lady aud Christian mother. Ii was
only few years ago that she de-
parted this life and Stree that time
Mr.. McDaniels made his home with
his son-in law, MIR. and Mrs, Fdwin
De ahoyde of this city aud 1t has
been such a home as utls loving
daughter and en- affectionate son
conld give. He was also fl quently
sat home" with Mr.. aud Mra. Boor-
man in Atlantic where every mark of
love aud esteem WAS rendered him.
Six children were born this union,
four of whom are living: Clinton of
Los Angeles, California;; Mrs Nilona
Schuur, Warren, Pennsylvania; Mrs
Mary III. Boormsn, Atlantic, Iowa
and Mrs. Ellowene Delahoyde, Extra.
He is also survived by four grand
children and three great grandcnil-
dren. John NcDaniels died April
IA, 1909. AS q father he was dey oted,
considerate and atfectionate.
His religious convictions were
strong, his ideals high, and his regard
for his fellowmen was characterized
by that practical help that is always
appreciated. Though he gave much
to churches and charity very few ever
knew it, for his modesty forbade
display. He united with the Congre-
Sal!Oual CuuICn mere on January u,
1898, on confession of faith, and
always took very active part and
vital interest in its welfare, contrihu-
ting of his means to its support
He retained his mental powers to q
marked degree to the last and
expressed to his pastor his faith in
God and perfect trust in Christ as
his Savior After long life here, he
has gone to enjoy eterral life there.
He has gone where loved ones greet
him
And to wait Till loved ones meet
him.
The funeral services were conducted
at 10 a. M. April 10th, at the Della
hoyde home by Rev. William Louis
Holly, pastor of the 1st CongregG-
tional church. Interment was at

McDaniels where he had many
friends.
