Trusses like those shown above-the belt
and leg-strap elastic and spring contraptions
sold by drugstores and many self-styled
Hernia Specialists"-make life miserable for
everybody who wears them.
Moreover, they often do immense harm
they squeeze the rupture. often causing strang-
uIation-dig into the pelvic bone in front
press against the sensitive spinal column at
the back.
The Plain ruth Is This.
Rupture-as explained in our free book
can't be relieved or cured-can't even be kept
from growing worse-unless constantly held
in place.
just as a bandage or splint is the only way
a broken bone can be held-tne right kind Of
truss is the only thing in the world that can
keep a rupture from coming out.
What a difference it will make when you
get that kind OF truss.
And you can get exactly that kin0 OF truss
without risking cent of your money
It's the famous Cluthe Truss or Cluthe Au-
tomato Massager.
Far more than truss-far more than
merely a device for holding the rupture In
place.

No belt. elastic belt or springs around your

CALMAR BANK OPEN.
New Banking Institution, With s. e.
Brickner Cashier, Open For
Business.

The Calmar Savings Bank, the
new banking house in our neighbor-
ing town in which a number of De-
corah people are interested, opened
for business yesterday. Mr.. S. E.
Brickner, whose term as Clerk of
the Court expired on the first of the
year, is in charge of the bank as
cashier. Mr.. j. M. Morris of Cal
mar is president and T. M. Pierce
vice president On the directory are
Messrs. E. j. Curtin and B. j. Nc
Kay of this city, and among the
stockholders are a number of the
prominent citizens and farmers adj
jacent to Calmar
During the past few months the
bank building, situated in the CEN
ter of the main business block of
Calmar, has undergone a complete
overhauling. A large plate glass
front, with prism transoms, with a
recessed entrance makes the exter-
Tor appearance very attractive. In
side the arrangement is very con-
venient. A large customers lobby,
with two rooms and lavatory in the
rear, makes an abundance of room.
The counter railing and the wood
work throughout is the product of
the Calmar Mfg. Co., and is an up
to-date job in every way. In every
detail the bank is fine modern
banking house, and with such a pop
ular and efficient cashier as Mr..
-Brickner and the substantial men
behind him, the bank will without
doubt soon assume prominent
place among the financial institu-
tions of the county.

Vaider College Defeats Ossian, l..
G. Props Calmar and High School
Girls Valdez College Girls.

There have been three games OF
basket ball in DEBORAH since our
last issue. On Saturday night the
Luther College Props played with
the Calmar team, the local team
having things entirely their own way
and defeating the visitors by the
score SO to g.
Monday night their were two
games at Steyers opera house. A
double header game had been extern
sively advertised between Oliver
College girls and boys teams of New
Hampton and large number of
tickets sold, when that afternoon
they telephoned over that they
would not be here, refusing to give
any reason for disappointing the v.
G. teams. 1t was mean way to
use them, and we would not blame
the local team If they refused to
play with them in the future. But
in order not to disappoint the people
they skirmished about and got the
Ossian team to come over to play
the boys and the local high school
girls to play the girls team. Both
were good games, although Ossian
was no match for the invincible v.
C. boys team, and lost by the score
of SO to 20. The v. G. team is a
strong combination. Leroy Wepler
headed the list with IL baskets to
his credit, while his brother Elmer
scored Is baskets, Leon Johnson z
and Turner /. They are mighty
fast bunch of players. Ossian made
A baskets in the first half and 6 in
the second half
The game between the Valdez
College and High School girls re-
suited in victory for high school,
score IA to 10. 1t was splendid
game, and close contest through
out. Both of these schools have
splendid organizations.

We want you to try three large
bottles of Rexall 1913" Hair Tonic
on our personal guarantee that the
trial will not cost you a penny If it
does not give you absolute satisfac-
ton. That's proof of our faith in
this remedy, and it should indisput-
ably demonstrate that we know
what we are taking about when we
say that Rexall 1913" Hair Tonic
will grow hair on bald heads, except
where badness has been of such
long duration that the roots of the
hair are entirely dead, the follicles
closed and grown over, and the
scalp is glazed.
Remember, we are basing our
statements upon what has already
been accomplished by the use of
Rexall "9S" Hair Tonic, and we
have the right to assume that what
it has done for thousands of others
it will do for you. In any event
you cannot lose anything by giving
it trial on our liberal guarantee.

violin Recital.

Prof. III. j. Barnum, head OF the
violin department of Iowa State
University has been secured by the
ladies of the M. e. church to give
a violin recital here on Feb oath.
Mr.. Barnum needs no introduction
to the music lovers of DEBORAH and
especially not to those who heard
him last year.
The following are few OF the
numbers Mr.. Barnum will play
Sonata, A Major"-Handel.
"Gipsy Airs"-Sarasate.
Observation-Disclosures
"Polonaise, A Major"-Wieniaw-
ski.
Wieniawski's ''Polonaise in A
Ma jor" is a number that few violin
lists attempt. Some of our best
local talent will also appear on the
program. Talent of this kind de-
serves nothing but a large audience
and it is hoped by the ladies of the
Methodist church that Mr.. Barnum
will be greeted by packed house
on Feb. "a, 1911.

MAXWELL In HARD TEST.
just One of Hundreds of Unequalled
Performances of the Max
well Line.

Thirty consecutive days of rum
ming with every part of the car seal
ed against repairs or adjustment is
the record of Maxwell model o."
driven by H. w. Smith of Columbus,
Ohio, in a midwinter test covering
thirty-six counties in that state.
The run was started Dec. II in
Columbus with the intention of
travelling 100 miles day over the
worst roads that could be found.
In the first twenty-seven days the
car covered 1854 miles, alternating
in muddy, slushy and icy highways.
Under ordinary conditions this aver
age would be nothing remarkable by
any Maxwell car, but in rounding out
a daily century over the worst kind
of roads and with mechanical atten-
ton impossible, the car demonstrate
ed that 1t was built for hard service.
The trips on Jan. II, Is and ID
were the most difficult, many
miles having been covered on low
gear, large part of the days
Journey being made in bitches,
where travelling was better than on
the crown of the road, and in
climbing the sharp grades south
east of the city of Lancaster.
When 5000 miles he'd been COW
cred Frank p. Corbett, manager of
the United Motor Columbus COM
pany, said lie was perfectly salts
fed with the performance. Had 1t
been necessary to break the seals
he would have done so at that time
with great pride, but the run will
be continued indefinitely. The car
will stop only when it becomes
necessary to break the seals that
were affixed by Arthur Crumrine,
former secretary of the Columbus
Automobile club, who is acting as

as on this occasion Miss Eleonora
Olson, favorite here, seemed to
excel her previous efforts, and her
