HOW TO TREAT
OLD SORES

The proper way-the only success
full way-to treat an old sore is to
destroy its source. Not by danger
GUS surgical operations or irritating
"drawing" plasters, but by Natures
true method of purifying the blood
and filling the circulation with rich,
nourishing properties; then the cure
will be natural and lasting. We can
easily understand how impurities in
the blood will infect some weak
point on our bodies, and by contin-
ually discharging impurities into it
keep the place open and inaamed
until a chronic ulcer Is formed.
Nothing then is SO sure to produce a
cure of these old sores as S. S. S.
This medicine is Natures perfect
blood remedy, composed of the most
healing and at the same time the
most penetrating and blood-purify-
ing properties. 1t removes every
particle of impurity or morbid matter
from the circulation, and assists ma
ture in the increasing of healthful,
nutritious corpuscles in the blood.
S. S. S. makes pure blood and pure
blood is Natures unfailing cure for
old sores. We want every sufferer
with an old sore to commence the
use Of S. s. S., because we know it
is the remedy they most need. Book

vice free to all. S. S. S. is sold at

Despite the fact that defeat stared
the Moose in the face, they fought to

WHITE WINS VICTORY
National President of U. M. w. A.
Settles Long Standing Dispute.

/ John p. White, National president
of the United Mine Workers of Ameri.
ca, has won another signal victory for
the good OF his people in securing
peaceful adjustment of the difficulties
that have long time disrupted the
organization in District No. 2 of Penn
sylvania. The internal strife that has
existed for several years in this dis
trict mas, through the personal effort
of Mr.. White, been eliminated and a
definite and abiding agreement has
been reached, determining all points
at issue. All members of the local
unions in dispute have been reinstat.
ed and are established in good stand
ing from July LIST and all members
restricted in rights are re-established
in all rights and privileges. The or
ganization known as sub-district No.
has been abandoned upon order of
Mr.. White and the offices and posi-
lions vacated.
Mr.. White is exercising a most ad.
mirable policy in his administration
that stands first OF all for internal
harmony of the organization. The
president acts on the principle that
without harmony and without the
united effort of the organization bene-
fits and accomplishments greatly to
be desired by the whole organization
will be possible. Mr.. White desires
the backing of an undivided house
and his people are rallying to the sup
port of the policies of his administrar
ton. Friends in Iowa are pleased at
he success that is attending the eff
forts of their former state president
and they are not unreasonable in
watching for still greater and broader
achievement.

GIVES THEM A JOY RIDE
Keokuk Man Drives From Pella to
Oskaloosa in 81 Minutes.

Keokuk Gate City: Smith Hamill
returned home Friday afternoon at
4:3O from an automobile trip to Des
Moines, leaving Keokuk Monday morn
ing and going via Donnellson and the
Waubonsie Trail, Blue Grass Trail and
the family river to river road from
Omaha to Davenport, going through
the towns of Donnellson, Big Mound,
Mount Hamil, Hillsboro, Fairfield, Ba-
tavia, Agency, Ottumwa, Oskaloosa,
Prairie City, Monroe Pella, and into
Dies Moines.
After a short visit in Des Moines
and Colfax, he returned over the same
route, leaving Colfax at noon Thurs
day and running to Oskaloosa, 100
miles that day in four hours. From
Oskaloosa to Keokuk, 1873 miles, the
run was made in 612 hours.
On the trip up Mr.. Hamil was &C
companied by his sister, Mrs. Paul
Dysart and son Arthur Ericsson, but
returned alone with the exception of
having company from Pella to Oska-
loosa, when he took two travelling
men the Is miles in 81 minutes.
Mr.. Hamill reports the roads in ex-
cellent condition and the routes mark
ed on the trails by sign posts Not
an accident occurred during the trip,
not even a puncture, and the trip was
greatly enjoyed.
The two travelling men who were
given the free joy ride to Pella to
Oskaloosa were shown the time of
their lives. They had miss their train
and were dickering with the wooden
shoed livery stable keeper for car
riage when Mr.. Hamill met them. All
three wore the travelling mems but
tons and the drummers were helped
out of their difficulty. One stretch of
the road. about two miles in length,
being down grade and straight ahead
with no teams in sight, Mr.. Hamill
turned things loose and covered the
two miles In a little less than a mile
a minute and would have kept the
speed up, had not his passengers inn
plored him to put on the brakes. They
had already lost their hats and we're
fearful that their clothes would fly off
on account of the speed.

Time after time the opponents would
