! Surgical operations unnecessary.
Dr. Stricken cures without the knife
DR.. Benz. E. Strickler, the famous
chronic disease specialist, whose suite
of consultation and examination rooms
are located on second floor, 105 South
Market street, is treating very large
number of women for diseases peculiar
to their sex.
DR.. Stricken does not and will not
use the knife in any of his treatments,
relying entirely on nature and his spe-
cial remedies to perform his cures.
DR.. Stricken is treating many wom-
en- for many different chronic dis
eases.
Women who have been advised by
their physicians to submit to surgi-
cal operation, should not undertake so
dangerous "a step before consulting
with DR.. Stricken.
DR.. Stricken states that eighty-f1ve
per cent of all surgical operations per-
formed on women in the United States
are unnecessary and should not be re.
sorted to by suffering women until aft
er consulting a specialist.
Many diseases, such as gall stones,
for instance can be cured without an
operation, and DR.. Stricken has many
who speak very highly Of his cures and
treatments.
DR.. Benz. E. Stricken is one of the
oldest chronic disease specialists in
Iowa. He does not take incurable
cases. His examination, consultation
and advice are free to all.

Serious Piano Question

Indeed it is serious when the inno-
cent purchaser spends his hard earned
money for thump box that only
looks like piano.
Thanks to providence, these things
are not nearly so common nowadays
as they used to be. People are not all
fools around Ottumwa, and when they
read the glazing matter that tells OF
goods literally being given away, they
count ten before they bite. There is a
vast difference between a responsible
dealer, closing out some real values at
special price, and dead stock being
closed out by a one-time would-have-
been successful piano agent, who pads
the stock on hand with bunch OF
junk and thus unloads on the unwary
buyer a lot of grief and leaves him abb
solutely without any guarantee what
ever.
! Careful buyers are very cautious Of
the blood curdling ad that sounds like
the man on box at street fair that
keeps yelling hurry, hurry, hurry,
hurry" and at the next tent they hol-
low, IT'S alive, it's alive, it's alive"
Enough said Well, to draw this to tt
close I will state that my position Is
like the little boy that let the other
fellow club down the apples and he
picked them up. I am going to save
my good money that it takes to adver-
tise and give it to those that call at
my store, in the way Of real bargains.
Everybody knows where stand and
that / am the largest dealer that ever
sold pianos in Ottumwa, and l have
big stock and will be here to back my
guarantee. Many people will remember
a stunt that was pulled off In Septem-
Der, about three years ago on high
dry corner not far from Market and
Second and those directly interested
will have cause never to forget It,
Many have lit and gone since I started
to sell high grade pianos at an honest
price in Ottumwa and at this time
will absolutely refuse to even be call
ed, let alone beaten. Many careful buy
ers, afraid to take a chance, come to
my store today, where they bought
real values. l will sell you piano on
easy payments or loan you the money
to buy of the other fellow.
! am here to stay.

However, Mr.. Nelson writes to his rel
atives here that he is now confident
that his recent prolonged fast has cur
ed his asthma. Mr.. Nelson says tina,
after the first seven days of his fast
he had no hunger and the rest Of thu
time was easy sailing. He lost forty
pounds in weight during the thirty
five days. However. as Mr.. Nelson
was somewhat blessed above the aver
age mortal in point Of avoirdupois, ht
will probably not worry much if h
should not regain those forty pounds.

| Washington dispatch:
Washington, D. C. , June 24-(Spec-
laD-The resignation of Henry l..
Hertz, collector of internal revenue
in the Chicago district, was requested
| today by the treasury department at
the instance of President Taft.
The President intends to fill the va
cancy by the appointment of S. M.
Fitch, the Illinois Central railway con-
ductor who was conspicuous in or
ganizing the RAILROAD men for Taft
in the national campaign. The request
for the resignation was submitted to
Mr.. Hertz by commissioner Cabell of
the internal revenue bureau
The term of office of collecto, of
internal revenue is without specific
limitation. The executive may term
mate the incumbency OF collector at
any time, but it is usual to do this by
requesting resignation. 1t is expect
ed that the resignation of Mr. Hertz
will be forthcoming at once and that
the president will be able to appoint
Mr.. Fitch and send his name to the
senate for confirmation before the ad-
journment of congress thi week. Mr..
Hertz has held the Chicago office ten
years.
Fitch Waits Job Long.
Mr.. Fitch's appointment has been
hanging fire for more than a year.
When Fred w. Upham of Chicago was
here in April of 1909 he called upon
President Taft, said good word for
the train conductor, and received as
surance that caused him to disclose
his opinion that Mr.. Fitch would be
named.
That this plum has fallen to Mr.
Fitch is because of his campaign alb
ility in behalf of Mr.. Taft before the
latter's election. While the Ohioan
was touring the country in 1908 Fitch
organized and directed big mass
meeting of railroad men in Chicago
just before the election. At that time
Mr.. Taft was so pleased with the ar
engagements and success of the meeting
that he complimented Mr.. Fitch and
promised that if elected president he
would not forget. Mr.. Fitch expressed
his thanks, but did not expect the re-
ward that now is to be his.
In addition to organizing the train
men for Taft, Fitch secured furlough
as conductor for the Illinois Central
and made a two weeks tour with the
candidate On this trip he confirmed
the good impression he had made
Fitch Native of Iowa.
Mr.. Fitch has been passenger con-
ductor on suburban Chicago trains
since 1892, having been promoted to
that position after year of service
as brakeman. He is forty years of
age and was born in Batavia Ia, in
1870. He lived there, received a COM
mon school education, until 1888, when
at the age of II, he secured a job on
the Santa Fe railroad as brakeman
He stayed there for three years be-
fore his shift to the Illinois Central
where his first work was in the sub
urban services running out of Chicago.
The appointment Of Mr.. Fitch comes
as shock, If not surprise, to politi-
clans, as he has never taken hand
in politics except in behalf of Mr..
Taft's candidacy. He is not known
to have valuable political connections
and has never been mentioned in con-
nection with public office other than
that to which he is about to succeed

It will be seen that the British
expenditures are still more than
twice those of Germany, and that
in the decade the United States
spent far more than any of the
powers excepting Great Britain.
The tables in detail show also
that the increase from 1901 to
1910 was most marked in the
cases of Germany and the United
States, the advance in the case
of Germany having been from
SAT, 900, 600 to $106, ,000,0 600, and
in our own case from $50, 900, 900
to $137,000,0 900. France main
