The GREAT WHITE WAY
No Longer Any Question About It..
1t Is the Only Way.

"Iowa's Great White Way is SUI
preme!" The cross state road from
Davenport to Council Bluffs, marked
by the white signs, has no equal.
West of Des Moines, the Great
White Way" has stretches of road
that are a dream. East of Des MOines
there are pieces of road that the
west portion cannot equal.
There is a piece of road of about
forty miles into Columbus Junction
that is a wonder 1t could not be
better"
Officers of the Great White Way
and the Blue Book Man" sprung a
surprise on the people along the cross
state route Monday and were them
selves in turn more surprised at the
splendid condition of the Way"
They planned to go over the route
without a word to anyone. to be able
to catch the road as it existed, with
out any special preparation or drag
ging for the entertainment of COM
pany. The officers wanted to know
the facts concerning the everyday
condition. What they found Surpass-
ed anything that might have been
anticipated.
Those in the party were r. A.
Woodall, of Chicago, who is making
up the record for the Blue Book"
showing the detail of the roads of
the state, the bridges, culverts, turns,
Washington, vice president of the
Great White Way association; r. A.
Stacey, of Adair, secretary of the
association, and Don p. Mcclure es
cort and pilot.
The company lett Davenport at
9:45 o'clock Monday morning and
logged along in leisurely fashion to
permit the making OF the record OF
the road. They arrived in OskalOosa
about o'clock p. NJ. and remained
over night. Some of the road was so
well done and in such splendid con
dition that the party stopped upon
numerous occasions to get out Of
their car and make minute eXamina-
ton. And this condition exists with
out any undue preparation or work
Mr. Woodall was free to assert that
he had never seen better stretches of
cross-country way. The party start
ed out this Tuesday morning to make
the remainder of the route to Des
Moines and thence on west to Coun.
Gil Bluffs.
The Great White Way has never
had better boost than that given
the road by the unlocked for and I'M
expected visit of the official map
maker and the officers OF the route.
officers have been over other roads
and the condition of the Great White
Way Is so far superior to other roads
travelled that comparison is out of the
question.
Work of substantial and perma-
nent character has been done along
the Way" during the season and it
all stands for Improvement. A more
enthusiastic company of road boost
ers than that which stopped in town
Monday evening following their days
work along the Way" would be i'm
possible to conceive
There is no longer any question,
say the men; "as to which is the best
way out Of Davenport across Iowa.
II has been shown that the Great
White Way is the Only Way"

Remarkable
Catarrll Cure
Gets Right into the Affected
Parts and Stops Gathering
in Eyes, Nose, Throat
and Lungs.

'Nine- tenths Of humanity suffer with
catarrh but do not know what catarrh
is" said an expert doctor a specialist in
blood analysis. 1t is treated locally be-
cause nature tries to drive it out of the
system. But nature must have help
Nasal catarrh is merely an outlet, and
1t is folly to expect a cure by inhalants or
local applications. If a stream is pol
luted at it's source it is ridiculous to
waste time in publication at its mouth
BY a long series of elaborate expert
ments at the Swift Laboratory it is def
nitely known that catarrh can be cured
by the simple process of inoculating the
blood with antidotal remedies that stop
infiammatory conditions throughout the
mucous Innings of all the organs of the
body. This is done with the famous
Swift'S Sure Specific, or as it is widely
known, S. S. S. 1t is taken into the
blood just as naturally as the most
nourishing food. 1t spreads its influence
over every organ in the body comes
through all the veins and arteries en-
ables all mucous surfaces to exchange in
fammatory acids and other irritating
substances for arterial elements that eff
fectually cleanse the system and thus put
an end to all catarrhal pollution. S. S. S.
cleans out the stomach of mucous ac-
foundations, enables only pure bIood-mak-
ing materials to enter the intestines, COM
bines with these food elements to enter
the circulation, and in less than an hour
is at work throughout the body in the
process of publication.
You will soon realize its wonderful in.
fluence by the absence of headache, a de-
cided clearing of the air passages, a
steadily improved nasal condition, and
a sense of bodily relief that proves how
completely catarrh often infests the en-
tire system. You will find S. S. s. on
sale at all drug stores at $1.00 per bottle.
1t is a remarkable remedy for any and
all blood affections, such as eczema, rash,
lupus, letter psoriasis, boils and all scrof-
| ulous conditions. For special advice on
any blod disease write in confidence to
