more wholesome than lard. It is car

Southern Bride Repaired

JULIETTE, Ga, April 2.-The Southern
railroad bridge across the Towaliga river
several miles north of here is being over
hauled. A new span is being made and
other improvements made. Because of
having been built so long it has been a
little dangerous for trains to pass over
the bridge with too heavy loads, but when
the work of overhaullng is completed 1t
is believed that there will be no danger
in crossing the bridge. The bridge is one
of the longest on the Southern system.

ANALYSIS SHOWS
WATER DEFECTIVE
Fort Madison People Are Worried, tor
State Chemist Discloses Sur
t prising Conditions.

Fort Madison Democrat: by re-
cent action Of the city board of health
the physician to the board was re-
ouested to submit sample OF the city
water to the state board, not consld-
ering it impure, but to keep acqualnt-
ed with it's condition. The result OF
the analysis by the state chemist is
quite surprising and his report as sub
tended is self-explanatory
Des Moines, Iowa, Feb. "a, 1910.
DR.. J. M. Casey, Fort Madison, Iowa
Dear Sir: Enclosed please ind re-
mort on analysis of sample OF water
received for analysis on February ~,
1910. AS you have sent us no data
concerning the source or surroundings
from which the water comes and the
depth, strata and character OF the wen
from which the water was obtained,
we can therefore only give general
statements regarding the character OF
the same.
From the data We have at hand 1t
will be seen that the water Is In
defective condition, indicating imper-
feet filtration and publication of the
water. Whether this is the cause OF
/ typhoid fever or not that you speak OF,
lof course, can only be inferred, as ~
lis absolutely impossible to determine
1.-THE presence or absence of typhoid
fever germs in a sample of water. The
/! best that can be stated is that TINS
/ is a probable cause of the trouble
| which you are experiencing, as there
! is entirely too much organic matter
i present. The presence of algae and
! considerable animal life indicates I'M
perfect filtration. 1t would be very
likely that typhoid fever gems would
be present in the Mississippi river
and if the same is being received with
out proper filtration or publication il
would of course be possible for then
to be present in the water.
IF Won need more discussion OF the
condition than here given we will be
glad to go into the matter more thor
oughly on receipt of plat, shoW1ns
the location and surroundings and the
manner of collecting the water ant
1 the possible sources of contamination
Please be as full and explicit in de
scription as possible.
Thanking you for yo'lr cooperate.
and trusting we may be of future sci
vice, we remain,
Respectfully.

Kesselring and Deputy Marshal Har-

ternoon in an examination. The three
are Rudolph Martin, Henry Taylor and
John Oliver, all colored. 1t is under
stood that Martin has made a confess
sion and that efforts are being made
to cause him to implicate the other
two men.
Entrance was effected through q
rear window of the saloon. A knife
was used and the pane of glass was
removed. Once on the inside the bur-
glars helped themselves generously
to the bottled goods, taking five or six
quarts, about eight pints and about ten
half-pints; also, they picked up a
watch lying within their reach. Be-
cause of the fact that so much goods
was taken the police are led to the
belief that more than one was lmpli'
Gated in the act. The first arrest oc
Cured about II o'clock, when Martin
was picked up in the vicinity of the
Kline. shops. 1t is said that he had
several bottles of whisky on his per

his conviction. Officer Real made The

possession when captured. Late thi
afternoon the examination in Marsha

RIVER MOVING

Cracking and Splitting Noise Which
Could be Heard For Consider

Quincy Wing: With a cracking,
splitting noise audible for consider
able distance along the river shore,
a huge section of the ice foes that
lodged several days ago on the sand
bar opposite the ware house of the
Diamond 10 line broke away yester-
day afternoon and floated down the
river. watched by many river men and
pedestrians OH the levee.
When the ice began to move above
the bridge during the recent thaw,
which covered the entire surface of
the river with huge blocks, some of
which were from eight to ten feet in
depth, the sand bar proved an OBJ
struction and solid phalanX of bergs
piled up there. Though ON several
days the sun shonc with sp1ing-like
warmth, the barricade of ice retained
it's solidity and refused to break from
the bar. However, the warm sunshine
of yesterday and the currents that are
swirling through the bridge to the
south proved too strong for the foes
and their movement was resumed,
1t is reported that for miles above
the bridge the ice was breaking away

are expecting another general move.

THE HERPES COMES OUT
Frequently Shows Itself in the Same
Place Every Winter.

Frequently Shows Itself in the Same
Place Every Winter.
The herpes very frequently shows
itself only in the winter time and in
identically the same spot every year.
When it comes out, a little poslam
should be at once applied, and this
annoying skin affection will quickly
vanish. Poslam is the new skin rene.
dy which has cured thousands of the
worst cases of eczema and eradicated
facial and other disfigurements OF
years standing. The terrible itching
attending eczema is stopped with the
frs. application giving proof of its
curative properties at the very out
set.
In less serious skin affections. such
as pimples, rash, herpes, blackheads,
acne, BARRIERS itch, etc., results show
after an overnight application, only
small quantity being required to effect
cure. Those who use pcslam for
these minor skin troubles should i'm
mediately secure one of the special
50-cent packages recently adopted to
meet such needs. Both the 50-cent
package and the regular 50 jar may
be obtained at Wilkinson & Co.'S and
other leading drug stores.
Samples for experimental purposes
may be had free of charge by writing

SOFT, GLOSSY HAIR.

Any man or woman who wants soft,
