DR.. 0sler on tuberculosis

sir William OsIer, one OF the fore
most OF living medical men, for
meriy OF Johns Hopkins, Baltimore,
ana now ReEius Professor of Medi-
cine at oxford, says i'm his "Prnctice
OF Medicine" 1S02), on page 249t
The healing OF pulmonary tuber-
cuiosfs Is shown clinically by the
recovery of patients in ,yhore .putn
elastic tissue and bacilIf have been
round. In the EXAMINATIONS
products and associated pneumonia
scar tissue In formed, while the
smaller GASEOUS areas become i'm
pregnnted with lime salts. To such
conditions alone should the term
healing be applied."
Many eminent medical auth critics
nave testified to the efficacy Of lime
salts in the treatment Of tubercu-
losis, and the success of Eckmans
Alternative in this and allied throat
and bronchial affections may be due
partly TO the fact that 1t contains
lime salt so combined with other
valuable ingredients as to be easily
assimilated.
Widespread use of this remedy in
numerous cases of tuberculosis
many of which appear to have yield
ed completely to it-justifies our be-
lief that 1t is worth a trial, unless
succeeding. 1t contains no opiates,
narcotics or bit-forming drugs.
We make no promises concerning 1t
any more that reputable physicians
give promises with their prescrip-
tions, but we know of many cases
in which 1T HAS HELPED.
Your druggist has it or can get
1t, or you can send direct.

For Sallo,D. WrinkIed,
Freckled, Pin,pled Skin

If you have any cutaneous blemish,
don't use paint, powder or anything
else to cover it up. Too often this
only emphasizes the defect. Besides,
it's much easier to remove the dis
figurement with ordinary mercolized
wax. Applied nightly, the wax will
gradually remove freckles, pimples,
blackheads. moth-patches, sallowness,
red or yellow blotches, or any surface
eruptions. The affected cuticIe is alb
sorbed, little each sday, until the
clear. soft, youthful and beautiful skin
Beneath is brought wholly to view
Ask the druggist for an ounce of mer-
colized wax and use this like you use
cold cream. Remove in morning with
soap and water. Many who have tried
this simple and harmless treatment
report astonishing results.
IF bothered with wrinkles or crows
feet, wash lotion made by dissolv-
ing an ounce of powdered saxolite In
a half pint witch hazel will prove re-
markably effectual.

STANDARD FOUR
TIRE COMPANY

Tire company, with a plant at
Findlay, Ohio. A. L. Higbee,
one Of Marion's principal
business men, who will be in
charge Of the local Offices here,
and will be secretary of the
Standard Four Tire company.
What the Outlook Is
The outlook for the new
plant which Keokuk has Sc
cured is most optimistic. An
investigation of the tire bust
ness was made by J. Albert
Kiedaisch, president of the
Keokrlk Industrial association,
in various towns in Ohio,
where the factories similar to
the one which will be started
at Keokuk are in operation.
When one considers that the
product Of one unit of such
factories, about $50 tires per
day are being sold inside the
state, and that the factories
are from thirty to sixty days
behind with orders, one can
easily figure out the possibili-
ties and the future for the rub
Der tire business with such
factories as Keokuk is assured
of.

directors and President Kiedaisch ara
to be congratulated for their work IN
securing this concern for keokuk.
The plant was worked up through the
local association entirely. and all OF
the details have been thoroughly ex-
amined into and mutually agreed to.
The officers OF the STANDARD Four
company who, are here are clean cnt
business men, and they mean to car
| ry through everything that they have
agreed to do. They are for keokuk,
heart and soul, and expect to make
this the main manufacturing plant in

All that remains for Keokuk peop'e
to do is to get behind the association
and keep boosting. The chance is
here to show what can be done, and
with the coming of this first big con-
Germ, others will follow.

Factory Mems Statement.

I
The following outline of the plans
| Of the factory was given The Gate City
by one Of the interested parties:
AS this is a factory to consumer
proposition, the stock will be sold In
small lots to the automobile owners
| in Iowa and the adjoining states. In
asmuch as there are 10000 automo-
biies requiring 100000 tires per year
in Iowa and the initial plants output
will only be 10000 tires, the company
can only supply one-tenth of the tires
required in this state alone. The
company will give the stockholders
advantage of the selling cost which
will reduce the price of their tires
1913 per cent. This saving alone
will pay over 35 per cent to the aver
! age investor. ~ .slsgy zgs.tsr szscat
| The managing director Of the COM
ipany, /. v. MacLean, formerly organ
lied a similar cooperative tire COM
pany in Ohio This company met with
instant success in a state where prac-
tically rs per cent of all auto tires are
manufactured From this fact we are
positive that locating a plant here,
which is in the center of such vast
market, will prove of exceptional ad-
vantage both to the people who use
/ the tires and to the man making an
investment. as each stakeholder will
be an agent, placing the product IN
the hands of vast number of con-
sumers at no expense to the company.
Mr.. MacLean advises that the order
for the first mold equipment has been
placed and arrangements made with
tire company to. furnish tires from
the companies equipment within 60
days. These tires will be the same as
will be later manufactured in keo-
Ekuk as they will be built under tn"
