be willing to spend you last cent to
find the cure?
But you need not leave home for
these distant springs. Relief is right
here IN your own home town!

green, Thymol and other ingredients

BOOSTS ''TAV'
No Mistake for Fourteenth
District to Elect Him to
Congress.
OF THE PROGRESSIVE TYPE
Record Shows He Will Not Be Found
on the Side of the Trusts in
Coming Fight.

Bowling Green, Mo-, Oct. 1S.-
Editor Argus: I desire to congratu-
late the people of your congressional
district upon the nomination of my
friend, Tavenner, for congress. l
have just gotten home from a swing
around the circle where 1 have found
democrats and progressive republi-
cans working tremendously for the
election of good men to congress-
men who viii not be found on the
side of the trusts when important
measures are up in congress. l find
on my desk a copy of your paper
containing an account of Tavenner's
nomination.
| am very sure the Fourteenth
Illinois could not have done better.
This young man possesses in high
degree the necessary qualifications
for membership in congress. I have
known him but two or three years,
but in that time he has gained and
held the confidence, admiration and
esteem Of many members of the
house and senate. Senator LaFol-
lette and Representatives Murdoch
and Fisherman, all insurgent repub-
licans, are among his most loyal
friends. Senator LaFollette has pub
lished Mr.. Tavenner's articles in
"LaFollette's Weekly on several oc-
casions.
Can Help District.
Citizens interested in the welfare
of the Fourteenth Illinois district
would do well to see to it that Tav-
enner is elected to congress. Men
who are in touch with political con-
ditions freely admit that the coming
congress will be democratic. Since
that seems to be as certain as any
thing can be in advance of its hap
pening, it behooves your district TO
send a man there who will be in
touch with the majority in that
house. If I am speaker of the 62d
congress you may depend upon it
that Tavenner would be able to make
himself valuable TO the Fourteenth
Illinois congressional district.
know of few men who have studied
public questions as deeply as he. He
is young. it is true, but that has
ceased to be a reproaCh, and if he
is elected to congress this year, my
guess is that he will serve you so
well that he Will grow old in your
service. Last year Tavenner made
a tour Of Europe for the purpose of
learning the truth about the opera
tion~ of the tariff in European coun-
tries and his articles on the subject
were printed by order of the house
of representative in the congression-
al record and given the privilege of
tree transportation through the
mails Yours sincerely.

WOULD TAKE LIFE
Elmer Liston, Confessed Mur-
derer, Drinks Poison in
Clinton Jail.
5 FOUND UNCONSCIOUS
Awaiting Sentence for Destroying the
Life of Miss May IiinGsOn of
Whom He Was Enanorcd.

Swallowing a big draught of NOR
phfne. Elmer Liston, self confessed
murderer of May Ringson, attempted
to cheat the law by suicide in his cell
at the county jail at Clinton, Iowa,
yesterday.
When discovered, the murderer was
unconscious in his cell. Physicians,
including County Physician Dr.. Kurt
Jaenicke were Immediately summoned
and took measures at once to preserve
Listens life.
All day long Sheriff T. J. Burke and
Deputy Sheriff William DougheTty, to-
gether with other assistants at the
Jail, worked hard in the hope of saw
ing Listens life so that he may ans
wer TO the law for the crime, TO which
he recently pleaded guilty in the Gin
ton county district court IN order to
keep him in a unconscious condition
it is nenessary to walk him back and
forth constantly. Should this practice
be stopped for a moment, the man i'm
mediately drops back 10 unconscious
ness. which would soon terminate in
his death.
Authorities NIystihed.
How he secured the poison is a puz-
zle to the authorities at the Jail. 1t is
believed. however, that it was SNUG
gled to the Jail by visitors. Sheriff
Burke has issued orders that in the
future no visitors viii be allowed to
see ListOn.
Liston is in Jail awaiting the time
owhen Judge y. Y. Jackson in the Gin
ton county district court will hear the
evidence against him to determine his
punishment, Linton having pleaded
guilty TO the Indictment charging him
with murder in the first degree.
The story of the terrible murder of
the girl, of whom he was enamOred,
in an upstairs room in her own home
last spring. the wounding OF officer
William Lorenz of the police depart
ment by a shot from Listens revolver.
and the murderer's subsequent sur
render after holding off the police and
sheriff's forces for hours, is still fresh
in the public memory.
It was reported that soon after Lis
tons incarceration in the county jail,
he made an attempt at suicide. Ac-
cording to this report. he put his head
in a pan of water and attempted to
drown himself, but was rescued before
he could effect his purpose.

OPENS HER ART STUDIO
Miss Trina Kohn Displays Interesting
Exhibit of Sketches and Painting.

Miss iTma kOhn displays Interesting
Exhibit of Sketches and Painting.
Miss Irma Kohn, the talented daugh-
ter of MI and Mrs. Louis Kohn. has
reopened her studio at 17191a Second
avenue with an interesting exhibit of
paintings and sketches. The exhibit Is
open TO callers from . to O'Clock in
the afternoon all this week and next
week Miss Kohn has just returned
from her summers work in the outdoor
school of the Art Students league of
New York at Woodstock, y. Y, where
she pursued her studies under the well
known instructors, James Garrison and
Birge Harrison. Her work has gained
much in the recent study. for there is
greater depth and feeling and
wider knowledge in her latest paint
ings and sketches.
The exhibit includes nine canvasses,
each of especial merit. The gem of the
collection is a waterscape that won
much favorable comment among pro-
fessional artists of the east. It is a
shadowy scene of a view across the
Mississippi just before dark, and the
last faint glimmer of day is pictured
on the waters with a skillfUl brush.
This picture, which was painted from
memory while the artist was in Wood
stock, was hung In the Concur exhibit
and was given the center space, a most
conspicuous place, in competition with
professional artists This is a most
unusual honor for so young an artist as
Miss Kohn. A particularly attractive
canvas is that of an autumn scene with
a giant tree in the foreground, while
the eye follows a splendid distance to
a low mountain range. This is view
in the country of the Catskills.
Young Birches in the Early Morn
ing forms the theme of another no
ticeable bit of work, the slim young
trees seeming to fairly SILVER in the
silyery haze of the early morning.
"Birches in the Moonlight" is the sub
ject of a woodland sketch. where the
trees stand outlined in the soft blue of
the moons rays. The coloring is like
a japanese print in a picture of a
young pink maple on a damp, misty
day. where the gray-blues shade softly
into dawn pinks. A canvas that will
cause delight to the casual observer is
that of a little red-roofed house behind
hill with a narrow winding path lead
ing to it. There are % Of The smaller

Review Fly the Iron Age

New York. November 16-(Special.) )-The Iron Age will say tomorrow
 What has come out in the past week in- dicates that while some railroads will buy little, others are now considering pur- chases of considerable amount. In some cases orders will be placed without wait ing for the decisions on rate advances; other acquisitions will be determined by the outcome of the present hearings.
 The Louisville and Nashville railroad has just placed 29,oO0 tons with the Ten- nessee company. The leading interest tons for the Kansas City. Mexico and Orient. The Boston and Maine require ments may be as high as 50,o00 tons.
 Considerable steel car business is likely to be given out before the end of the year, 10000 10 12.0O0 cars being included in late estimates.
 Finished material markets have been generally quiet. Wrought pipe mills are increasing their output. The tin plate situation has improved two or three i'm portant consumers having placed their orders for the first half of 1911.
 All pig iron markets report slight irn- provement, and in some sections prices show firmness, quite in contrast with the willingness of furnaces a fortnight ago to accept low offers In the Buffalo dis trict sales of 5000 to 40,000 tons. chiefly foundry grades, have raised asking prices 25 to 50 cents.
 Tn the Pittsburg district considerable inquiry has developed for steel-making iron, ard both basic and Bessemer are flrmer
