WHAT CURES ECZEMA?

We have had so many inquiries
lately regarding eczema and other
skin diseases that we are glad to
make our answer public. After care
full Investigation we have found that
a simple wash of oil of wintergreen
as compounded would not make this
statement TO our patrons, friends and
neighbors unless we were sure of It
and although there are many So
called eczema remedies sold, we our
selves unhesitatjngly recommend ID.
ID. p. Prescription.
Because-We know that it gives
instant relief to that torturing itch.
Because-D. d. d. starts the cure
at the foundation of the trouble.
Because II Cleanses, soothes and
heals the skin. clearing away PIN
pies and blotches over night.
Because-It enables nature to re-
pair the ravages of disease.
Because-The records of ten years
of complete cures of thousands OF
the most serious cases show that D.
ID. d. is today recognized as the alb
solutely reliable eczema cure.
Drop into our store today, just
10 talk over the merits of this won
derful prescription. We will also ex-
plain the value of d. y. D. as
household remedy.

charge of the Second Baptist church.

of $4,000 against the church had an
nounced a foreclosure for April ,, 1907.

we prevailed upon Mr.. Fluegel TO re.
duce the debt Finally. he agreed 10
accept 1900 for the mortgage. We
went to David Cramer, who agreed to
let us have 81 500 on the property, pro
vided the trustees agreed to change
the form of the mortgage and take a
contract. This they did, since there
seemed no other way of obtaining the
money at the time. We got the two
factions of the church together and ex-
planned the matter. asking them to lay
aside their differences, which the con-
scented to do. We raised another $50
and paid it to Mr. Fluegel. We re
ported our progress to Rev. H. W. Reed
who went 20 Nj. Fluegel and in
fuenced him to deduct another $40.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the eustachian tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the infamma,
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out Of 10 are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give 800 for any cases of
deafness Caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh cure.

HOPES FOR EXTRA SESSION.
Mr.. Palfer declared that if he was
really convinced that if congress
should fail to pass the reciprocity
measure President Taft would call an
extra session OF the new congress, he
would not feel so badly if the recip-
rocity agreement failed of passage.
"Strong as we are on this side OF
the chamber for reciprocity with Can
ada he said, "and sincere as we are
in favor of the passage of the Mccall
bill to carry il into effect, the post
ponement Of its passage would not be
an unmixed evil if it brought with 1t
an earlier opportunity than would
otherwise be presented to congress to
make sweeping and drastic changes in
many of the schedules of the Payne-Al-
drich law

in the right direction, and we are pre-
pared to vote for it on that account;

MOLINE

Wanted to End Life.-Grief, caused
by financial stringency, led Mrs. Mike
Miller. 5O4 Railroad avenue, to at
tempt suicide by laying her head on
the Rock Island railroad tracks TO
await the fast train which would end
her troubles. But for the approach of
two strangers. who found her, she
would have been ground to death I'M
der the wheels of the train which
passed a few moments later. Mrs.
Miller has been conducting a boarding
house for the past several months.
Her husband first deserted her leav-
ing her and her 10 children with no
income but that received from the
boarders. One by one these dropped
off, ali owing her money, until now
she is penniless' and owes considera-
BILE. She received notice of eject
ment from her home, unless her rent
was paid. Having only come here
from Hungary about year ago, this
frightened her and caused her to try
to end her life. She now appeals to
the police for help. Police Matron
O'Connor has taken the case under
advisement and is endeavoring to find
some way in which to help the wo-
man.
City Needs Money.-That the mu
heavy expense during the last year is
the declaration made by Mayor An
drew Olson, when he was asked for
statement regarding the fact that Dep
uty Tax Collector A. E. Froyd has, on
request. turned $4,000 over to the
city. Special elections, costs of which
fell on the municipality, anticipation
of bonds before they fell due and the
unexpected necessity OF giving finan-
cial assistance to the public library
and city hospital have proved drains
on the city treasury. The result is
that there has been paid out of the
general funds monies that must final
ly be charged to the special fund.
Therefore. temporarily, the general
fund is low and the collector has been
prevailed on to turn over to the mu-
$4,000 of tax money he
has already collected.
Given Chance to Vote.-Employe
of the local factories were given am
pie opportunity TO vote today. at the
first primary election under the com
mission form. some of the plants
