BETTER THAN MEDICINE

The Increase in the Deaths Result
ant from Grip ard Pneumonia is
Most Alarming, and Physicians
Everywhere are Recommending
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey as, a
Reliable Cure and Sure Preventive.
Scientists and physicians have
been appalled, at the rapid increase i'll
the death rate from acute respiratory
diseases, especially in the large cities.
Statistics from cities, large and
small, showing a steady yearly III
crease in the prevalence and fatality
OF grip and pneumonia, have demand
ed an immediate and sure preventive.
Grip and pneumonia attack the
system quickly and relentlessly.
They are especially dangerous at this
season of the year when exposure to
sudden and sever changes of wealth
er and atmospheric conditions is ire
quent. They are sure to attack the
system run down from worry, over
work or exposure.
For more than fifty years Duffy's
Pure Malt Whiskey has been recog
nized as a wonderful remedy in the
prevention of coughs, colds, grip,
pneumonia, and all diseases OF the
respiratory organs. Physicians who
stolidly conform to the ethics of the
profession publicly recommend ii
and are prescribing it for their pa
tents. 1t is in use in leading hospi-
tails Throughout the country.
The secret of the marvellous sue
cess of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey
in curing and preventing throat and
lung troubles lies in the fact that it
is the greatest strengthened and
health builder known to medicine,
and it not only checks the ravages of
the disease itself, but replaces the
weakened, destroyed tissues, helps
the stomach to more perfectly digest
and assimilate food i'll order that
more, richer and purer blood may
come from it, and regulates and
governs the hearts action, so that
circulation will be strong and pow
erful, carrying health and vigor to
every organ and part of the human
body.

front of the homes of our ministers.
The meeting was held at the city hall
on Tuesday night and largely attended
by leading citizens and business men
of the city. A unanimous sentiment
was expressed that the time had come
for Denison to do something to avoid
stain to it's reputation 1t was said
to be immaterial whether the act was
committed by representatives of one
interest or another or by someone
who intended to perpetrate joke,
that in any event the act was repre-
hensible and should not pass un-
noticed.
A committee of five members with
prenary powers was appointed to pro-
ceed as its judgment should dictate to
deal with the question. We hope the in
vestigation will prove that it was only
a joke because we should regret to
hear that anyone was so stepped in
crime as to actually intend to do per-
sonal violence or to adopt criminal
methods OF coercion.

ELECTRIC WIRES
ORDERED REMOVED
City Council Passes Ordinance PIac-
inq Wires on Certain Streets
Underground Within 60 Days.
WATER MAINS IN GOOD REPAIR
Nothing to Prevent Paving aExcert
Placing Of Wires, to the Delight
Of Many People.

The city council evidently intends
to take forward step in paving, for
it has ordered the electric light and
telephone wires underground or the
removal OF the poles from the streets
into the alleys.
1t will be recalled that on the day
the bids for paving were turned down
by the city council, a petition, signed
by large number of citizens, was pre-
sented to the council, protesting
lagainst paving until the wires OF the
two companies should be put under
ground, the water mains renewed and
one CT two other things done,
after which the petition stated the paw
ing project should be carried out. 1t
lis said that the. water mains are in
perfect condition. and if the electric
light and telephone wires are buried,
then there seemingly will be nothing
to prevent the council going ahead
with the paving to the delight OF the
large number of people signing the
petition. We imagine that nothing
would be more gratifying to the sign
!ers of the petition than to now have
the council go ahead and order the
paving, which was interrupted by the
petition.
1t is true the council, or the major
ity of the members OF the council,
made an agreement with the public
service companies that the agitation
| for placing the wires under ground
should be settled and compromised
by the companies providing new and
symmetrical poles to be located in
the sidewalk where necessary to ac-
comodate the wires. This came about
as a result of meeting of the coun-
Gil, to which representatives OF the
electric light and telephone companies
were invited. At this meeting there
! was some Discussion about placing
iron poles for use instead of the wood
en- poles, and finally it was agreed
that the matter should be adjourned
over until the following morning
when the members of the council, or

OLD SETTLERS MEET
IN GENERAL PICNIC
The Crowd Not So Large As in Form
er Years, But Everyone Had An
Enjoyable Time.
KENYON MAKES AN IMPRESSION
Baby Contest Proves Interesting and
Judges Decide Wisely-Officers
for Next Year Chosen.

The home coming of the old settlers
|of the county last Thursday was a
great success, despite the fact that
the number in attendance was perhaps
not equal to that of some other years.
But this can readily be accounted for
by the fact that large number OF
people of the county were in attend
ance upon the state fair and the Char
ter Oak carnival, the closing day of
which was Thursday. Another thing,
and which brings feeling of sadness
to everyone, is the fact that large
number of the old settlers during the
last year have passed away. We DO
not suggest that the attendance was
meager, because there was a good
crowd present and one prepared TO en-
JOY the occasion to it's full extent.
The chief attraction OF the lay was
the address OF United States Senator
Kenyon, who made his first appear
ance in the county since his election
Ito the senate. The address OF the.
senator delivered in the afternoon was
la model for an occasion of this
kind. 1t was not what can be said
to have been a set speech, but it was
Just the kind of talk that people en-
joy to hear from q public servant. He
is, in appearance, a splendid type OF
young manhood, and considering his
age, is as we'll equipped as any man
in the state for the position which he
fills.
The meeting in the afternoon Has
|opened by an address of welcome, de.
|livered by Hon. Jacob Sims, in which
lhe extended most cordial greeting
to those present The response TO
lthis address by Mr.. Sims was prop
erly made by Mr.. Warren Hough, of
Council Bluffs, who formerly resided
in this county.

sT,LLmAN VISITS DEN'soN.
Paul StiIlman, Of Jefferson, Candidate
for Congress from Tenth District
Meets Many People.

Paul Stillman visited Denison and
other portions of Crawford county on
last Thursday to meet the people in
his candidacy for congress next year.
Mr.. Stillman has been resident of
Jefferson, in Greene county, for good
many years and has been and is now
the editor of the Jefferson Bee, one of
the best weekly newspapers in Iowa.
He was honored by an election for the
second time to the general assembly
of the state, and filed the position of
speaker of the house with credit at
the last session of that body. He is
Ia man of good appearance and one
would imagine splendidly equipped for
the position of member of congress.
1t is limited that there may be other
candidates in the field. but outside of
the present incumbent, we do not
know of any others who will certainly
be in the race. Mr.. Stillman has been
o progressive with what may be said
to be conservative tendencies. He
lis personal and political friend of
Senator Kenyon and was one of the
senator's stalwart supporters in the
contest before the legislature last
winter Just what the senator's atti-
tude will be in the contest if other
friends of his shall be candidates we
are not prepared to say.

DENISON TO ENTER.
TAIN PRESIDENT
Temporary Platform to be Erected at
illinois Central Depot, From
Which President Speaks.
SENATOR KENYON co-oPERATEs
The Presidents Visit Should be Ad-
vertised Thoroughly and Big
Crowd Should Greet Him.

Every effort should be made to ad-
vertise as far as possible the fact OF
President Taft's coming on Septem-
ber 2Sth. Brief mention was made in
last weeks issue of the Review about
telegram addressed to c. L. Voss,
president of the Commercial club re-
ceived from MIR. Hilles, private sec
retary of the presiden, that the train
would stop here enrcnte from Council
Bluffs to Fort Dodge on the morning
of the 23th for FIVE minutes. Since
then this message has been reinforced
by communication from Senator
Kenyon to the same effect.
The senator requests that tempor-
ary platform shall be erected at the
station, from which the president may
address the people who may be pres
ent to see him, and further says that
he has advised Mr.. Hilles that this
will be done. This plan was adopted
when Vice-President Fairbanks stop
ped here a few years ago. He was
conducted from the rear of the train
to this platform, where he spoke for a
few minutes. 1t is almost impossible
for a large number OF people to get
a view of the president as he stands
upon the platform of the car, and in
order to enable large crowd to see
him, the erection of the temporary
platform is indispensable.
We heartily approve the practice OF
the chief executive of the United
States travelling over the country and
meeting the people face to face. 1t
is helpful, both to the president and
the people. We do not feel that in
urging a large attendance on this oc-
casion that we are doing violence to
the rights of anyone, because the pres
ident of the United States is always
worth seeing and especially for the
first time. We have never yet heard
an expression of disappointment from
anyone who came TO Denison to see
President Roosevelt when he was max
ing his tour about the country.

gaining the reputation OF being

gaining the reputation OF being
spell-binder.
After the formal addresses were
over in the afternoon the baby show
was put on, there being some thirty
three babies entered in the contest.
The judging was conducted according
to a plan as nearly perfect as possible,
"the committee deeming the most per-
feet baby to be the prettiest one," con-
seQuently each member of the commit
tee was given a chart and advised
that 100 points would stand for per-
lection. This chart was divided into
spaces, one space marked for eyes,
one for nose, mouth, skin weight, and
one for general appearance. The
babies were then numbered and the
committee began the work of look
ing for imperfections individually and
marking the imperfections as they
each saw them. After each member
of the committee had examined each
child separately and marked the dia-
grams in the chart for each particular
child. the committee then compared
charts and markings, and selected the
winners by taking the three highest
as shown by the combination of the
different charts. No system of judg-
ing could be more fair or impartial,
because the members of the committee
made their markings individually and
the babies were known to the commit
tee by numbers only. The first prize
was given to Dorothy Towne. The
second prize to twins, Lois and Loid
Winans, and the third prize to Bran
aka Portz Some of the babies were
barred from the contest on account OF
the fact that their parents had failed
to acquaint themselves with the con-
ditions as laid down by the donor of
the prizes, which required the parents
of the child to have been born in Craw-
ford county. We were glad to find so
many children represented in the con-
test and next year we hope there will
be an equally large, if not larger
number. The judges were: DR.. B. F.
Philbrook. Mrs. L. D. Ley and Mrs.
John T. Haugh. They are entitled to
great credit for their capable work.
The officers elected for the coming
year were the same as those for last
year as follows: w. C. Rollins, presi'
dent: ~ L. Hunt, secretary, and Dr.
Ed Darling, Trueman Campbell, Chas.
Robertson and John Dobson, vice pres
|idents. We are in favor of making a
more strenuous effort next year to in
sure the largest attendance in the his
tory OF the county.
