Aha! The first band of tramps has
gone through that "drnI" over the

cesses of the city of Davenport. This
morning half a dozen weary Willies,"

duct at Twenty-fourth street and Third

pass was given to them but when they
left, they had a general idea as to
which direction to take as well as di-
rections as to course to be pursued in
the future. Unless they care to sit

Wet Feet Cause
Of Many COsId

Damp weather and wet feet are the
cause Of many colds at this season of
the year. A person whose vitality has
been lowered by the strain of the Sc
we're winter weather is unable to
Withstand the shock to the system,
and q small epidemic Of colds always
follows wet, rainy weather.
Il is important TO remember that
Father Johns Medicine cures colds by
building up the system. stimulating
each organ to perform its natural
work, thus removing the impurities.
The elements Of which Father Johns
Medicine is composed are pure and
wholesome nourishment TO build up
those who are weak and run down.
