en- to Use Scales on Purchases.

Des Moines. Nov. 26.--If Market
Master L. o. Pouchot had his way tho
members of the Chauncey Depew
club and other housewives in Des
Moines would not have to battle the
grocer, the baker, the candlestick
maker" with two legal systems OF
measurement.
Instead OF the sale Of food stuffs by
the old two plnts make one quart

tenn, groceries would be sold by
weight entirely. Again, IL the house
wives Of the city would aid him, much
OF the short measure sales of which
they complain could be eliminated,
says Mr.. Pouchot.
Many times / receive complaints
over the telephone that such and such
firm has given short weight, but
the informer refuses to tell me her
name. In such case can take no
steps to prosecute. II, however, the
housewives OF Des Moines really wish
to do away with short weighing and
will inform nae. will go after the
dealer against whom the complaint
is made. am more than glad to see
the women of Des Moines taking an
interest In this affair"
According to Mr.. Pouchot, II each
woman would invest in small pair
OF scales for the kitchen, 1t would be
money well expended. In that way.
he declares. they can determine
whether they have obtained the cor
rect amount of groceries to which
they are entitled. They must not for.
get, however" said Mr.. Pouchot,
that the state Of Iowa recognizes
two standards of measurement-the
weight and the dry measure. II one
buys bushel Of potatoes and tho
dealer heaps the measure, 1t will be
found that there Is from two and one
half to seven pounds less in the
measure than Is called for by law,
but the potatoes have been bought by
the measure and there is no redress.
II the last legislature had adopted
the measure presented to it, making
the weight system the only legal
measure, this difficulty would have
been done away with. The proposi-
ton probably will come before the
legislature again."
Mr.. Pouchot also issues a warning
against the purchaser going into .
meat market and ordering "25 or so
cents worth of meat" He declares
that by 80 doing the purchaser must
receive whatever the dealer gives
him. whether it be underweight or
not. He says that the purchaser
should ask for his meat by weight.

Appeals Parker Case.
Attorneys for the Des Moines City
Railway company filed notice In the
district court of their appeal to the
supreme court from the verdict Of
$500 rendered against the traction
company In the suit brought by Miss
Fannie Parker.
The suit in question was largely re-
sponsible for the threatened strike
of the street car employees in Des
Moines. Miss Parker was injured In
the collision Of a Fort Des Moines
car and an engine of the Rock Island
railroad. Ralph Cohoe, street car
man and a sweetheart Of Miss PARK
er's, was active In her behalf during
the trial and was dismissed from the
service of the company shortly after.
1t is because Of the dismissal Of Co
hoe that the street car men are up
in arms.
A jury in Judge McHenry's division
of the district court returned q verdi
let giving Miss Parker damages Of
$500 against the street car COM
pany. Judge McHenry overruled a
motion for new trial of the case and
and 1t Is now before the supreme
court for final settlement

EVANGELIST SCORED
SINNERS TOO WARMLY
Rev. Mr.. Beveridge, Known in This
Section Wasted Efforts on Good
People of Bardolph.

Evangelist Beveridge, who is known
in this section of Illinois, did not make
a success of a recent series of meet
ings at Bardolph, H.. according to
the following from the News at that
place:
THE revival meetings conducted by
Evangelist Beveridge came to very
abrupt conclusion last Friday. From
the beginning of the meetings there
seemed to be a mutual feeling of hos
tility between the evangelist and the
people. His bitter and caustic stric-
lures on the church, church members,
EpwOrth league, Ladies' Aid societies
and fraternal orders created a strong
feeling of opposition from the first,
but it was thought that these attacks
were simply some of the numerous
sensational methods employed by
evangelists to arouse interest, and,
having accomplished that object,
would then proceed on gentler lines.
But this expectation was vain. The
longer, the more bitter the evangelist
became, until a point was reached at
which there was no possibility of a
reconciliation. Thursday night the
speaker was unusually vehement in
his denunciations and, it being evident
that no good could be accomplished
under existing conditions, the pastor
and other members of the church
board met Friday afternoon and de-
cided to close the meetings forthwith
Mr. Beveridge was notified of their
action. which he vigorously and bit
terly resented, threatening to procure
a hall and continue the meetings on
his own account. However, he
changed his mind and he and Mrs.
Beverage left on the GAP train for
their home in Chicago

Germs in
Her System
Every Woman Should Read this
Advice and the Generous
Offer That Goes
With It.

The number of diseases peculiar to
women is such that we believe this
space would hardly contain a mere
mention of their names and it is a
fact that most of these diseases are
of catarrhal nature. \ woman can
not be well if there is a trace of ca
tarrh in her system.
Some women think there is no
help for them. We positively declare
this to be a mistaken idea. We are
so sure of this that we offer to sup
ply medicine absolutely free of all
cost in every instance where it fails
to give satisfaction, or does not sub
stantiate our claims. With this I'M
derstanding, no woman should hest
tate to believe our honesty of pur-
pose, or hesitate to put our claims to
a test.
There is only one way to over
come catarrh. That way is through
the blood You may use all the
snuffs, douches or like remedies for
years without getting more than tenn
porary relief at best. Catarrh in gen.
erai is a diseased condition of the
system that shows locally most fire.
auently in discharges from mucous
membranes. Local treatment should
be assisted by internal treatment for
the general diseased condition if
complete cure is to be reached. That
internal treatment should be scientif-
lcally devised and faithfully admins
tered.
Rexall Mucu-Tone is scientifically
prepared from the prescription of an
eminent physician who for 80 years
made catarrh his speciality. This
remedy is admirably adapted to the.
treatment of the catarrhal ailments of
women. 1t purifies and enriches the
blood, tends to stop mucous dis
charges, aids in removing impurities
from the system, soothes, heals and
strengthens the mucous tissues and
brings about a feeling of health and
strength.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone on our guarantee. If you are
not benefited. or for any reason not
satisfied, simply tell US and we will
hand back your money. Rexall Mucu-
Tone comes in two sizes. so cents
