A Handsome Piece of Work.


Tae Tribune office is the possessor
of q new sign, the work of A. NJ.
Kelly of DEBORAH. Iowa, which is by
far the most attractive piece of sign
work ever put up in Britt, and of a
class seldom seen outside of the
larger cities.
The work is done on bevele6
French plate glass, in imitation etch-
ing. The background is hand en-
bossed and overlaid with pure gold
leaf, while the letters, Bailey of
Britt" appear in black relief.
The work is all so skillfully exc
cuted that only an expert could dis
tinguish the difference between it
and a real etched job.
Seldom does one find a tradesmar
so skilled in several branches of a
trade as Mr.. Kelly. His fresco
work in the NJ f. church is especial
ly meritorious and the drop curtain
and scenes he painted for the high
school auditorium are in class of
the city opera house scenery.

ty boy, now located at DEBORAH.

account of an injury which resulted
in the cutting off of the ends of two
fingers last Wednesday. He was iii
his home yard grazing a horse, and
becoming tired of standing, reached
down and took hold of a camp stool
near by with his right hand, and
placing it behind him, sat down. Just
as he did so, the stool broke, and
two fingers of his hand were caught
in the scissor-like vice of the chair,
severing the ends of them. DR..
Daubney dressed the wounds and he
has since been getting along nicely.

WHY SALVES FAIL
TO CURE ECZEMA.
They Clog the POres-Only Liquid
Can Reach the Inner Skin.

Since the old-fashioned theory of
curing eczema through the blood has
been given up by scientists, many
different salves have been tried for
skin diseases. But is has been found
that these salves only clog the pores
and can not penetrate to the inner
skin below the epidermis where the
eczema germs are lodged.
This-the quality of penetrating
probably explains the tremendous
success of the only standard liquid
eczema cure, oil of wintergreen as
compounded in ID. ID. ID. Prescriptions
After ten years of cure after cure,
the worlds leading skin specialists
have accepted this as the true ecze-
ma cure.
We ourselves do not hesitate TO
recommend ID. ID. ID. Prescription at
800 a bottle, but for the benefit or
those who have never tried the pre-
scrintion. we arranged with the d. II.
d. Laboratories of Chicago for
special large trial bottle at % cents
on a special offer now. This hrst
bottle ought to convince every suf-
ferer, and, at any rate, it vii surely
take away the itch at once. Brunt

ner in which to refer to their action
it is doubtful if much will be accom-
plished in the way of building good
roads in this state for some little
time. Notwithstanding the fact that at
least three measures seeking to make
possible the construction of efficient
roads of different types were enacted
into law. The practicableness of this
legislation. though. was destroyed to
a great extent by the rather ridiculous
action of the legislators in not pro-
viding for a state engineer in fact
though they did so in name. They
passed a bill creating the office of
state engineer but refused to make an
appropriation to pay his salary, and
so this piece of legislation is actually
valueless.
In the scheme for the construction
of good roads of a uniform character
throughout the state the Office of a

This was recognized by the real
friends of good roads in the legisIa-

sought for the creation of the office of

fashion is a misfortune
