WOMEN BLAMED

"The matter lies principally in the
hands of the women. They show in

Aids Old Men

The sudden change from years of
activity Of both body and mind to
the quiet of later years causes the
human system to undergo many
changes, chief of which is in the di-
gestive organs.
1t becomes harder and harder to get the
bowels TO move promptly and regularly
and in consequence many elderly men suf-
ler not only from the basic touble. con-
stipation, but from indigestion. headache.

CAUSE OF ECZEMA EXPLAINED.

After years of debate medical au-
thorities are now agreed that Eczema
and other skin diseases are not
seated in the blood, but are caused
by myriads Of microscopic animals
gnawing the flesh just below the cpl
dermis. The patient is perfectly
healthy, it is only the skin that is
diseased.
Hence, scientists are now agreed
that you must cure the skin through
liquid form in order to penetrate

fdence that we have the true rem
edy for Eczema in our store.

SUNDAY THEATRE
CONTROVERSY
Closing the Sunday
Theatres.

To the Editor of the Gate City:
Do not hold anyone but the writer
responsible for these lines. I speak
for myself. In regard to the Sunday
theatre | have this to say: If it is vio-
lating the law it ought to close. The
men who took the oath of Office to en-
force the law are duty and honor
bound to do so. An official who will
go whining around sounding puglc
opinion to know what to do instead
of going to the statute is poor stick
of an official. He is like weather
van or dead fish he goes with the
wind or current. The people have
made the law and if they do not want
to obey it they ought to be made do
it or repeal it, Am l not right?
A community that knowingly con-
tinues to violate the laws it made to
govern itself lowers itself in it's own
estimation and in the estimation OF
others. This is true to say nothing
about morals. Why do | want the
Sunday theatres closed? Not because
they coax away my audience. II my
church members have no more respect
for the Lords day. nor for theil
church ad no more religion than tt
leave their church service on the
: Lords day to go to a show, let then
go. will have no quarrel with them
The point | drive at is obedience t.
the law of the city in which l live
The Lords day is too often sacrifices
:. upon the altar of ain or selfish pleas
: ure. am no mans enemy, but ever
mans friend But would be dom
my friend an injury if | did wron
,, or helped him to do SO in order t
, please him.
! Yours for the right.

Much poina Before Lent.

AS Lent comes a week from We'd
nesday there is not much promise OF
an immediate revival of social gave
ties but quite likely there will be num-
erous small affairs in the way OF teas
and luncheons even during Lent and
bridge will be sure to go on forever.
The trend of society now is toward
small entertainments of all kinds and
this winter there have been fewer
parties than usual. The cold weather
and the bad walking coming so early
put sort OF quietus on the season
and even the card clubs of many
years standing have not been meet
ing with any regularity. Just now
there is prevalence of grip with
illness in many families but it is hop
ed that the early winter will be follow
ed by an early spring and that things
will soon return to their normal con
dition.

VIOLATION OF LEASE
The Petition Gives Five Reasons Why
Lease Has Been Violated
Failed to Pay Rent
Promptly

Mrs. Marie Radasch, owner of the
three story building on the west corner
of Seventh and Main streets, has
brought a counter suit against 0. W.
Ellsworth and Co, to force them TO
vacate the premises now occupied by
a drug store.
1t will be remembered that a short
time ago Mrs. Radasch was made de-
PENDANT in a suit brought by o. w.
Ellsworth and Co., because she re-
fused to release the property. while
the old lease contained the stipulation
that the Lessee could renew his five
year lease at its expiration
The petition in this new suit does
nos deny this, but the suit is based on
the fact that the lease has been vio'at-
ed the reasons given being as fol
lows:
/. That he has sublet parts of said
property without the written consent
of Mrs. Radasch or her attorneys.
.. That he has not taken good care
i Of premises and kept same during
the term of lease in good order, re
/ pair and condition.
3. That he has failed to pay rent
promptly at the times stipulated IL
said lease.
a. That he has failed to pay rent
for and at the end of the month o.
j December, 1909.
5. That he has failed to comply
with abe terms of said lease in var
ious and sundrv other particulars.

In speaking of the lecture before

society Of this city, at Quincy last
week, a paper of that city has to say
of the courtesies extended Doctor
Morse and her lecture:

Morse spoke of the wonderful devel-

! the detached and unimportant to the
| unity and perfection of organic art. In
tracing the development of the archl'
tectural sense, the building OF shelter
| and protection by laying one stone OF
! another from the ground up, she made
a study of the tombs of Italy, giving a
| critical analysis from pictures OF the
most famous ones. In all of the EARL
er ones and for many years there

ade bed and the niche with the ma
