This decision practically closes the
famous telephone suit as the case was
known, and which was commenced
following the passage OF the ordinance
by the city council which attempted to
regulate the rates charged for serv-
ice. The case was heard before Judge
Robert Sloan, special master. His
findings were announced In December,
1913. The matter was temporarily
halted by the death of Judge McPher-

MANY TROUBLESOME
TO WEAK KIDNEYS

"It is no use advertising a medl.
cine unless the medicine itself is good
enough to back up the claims you
make for it." said Wilkinson & Co.,
the popular druggists, to Gate City
man. ION the other hand it Is .
Measure to sell a medicine when our
customers come in afterward and tell
US how much good it has done them
And that is why we like to sell anc
recommend Solvax, the great kidney
remedy. Ever since we first intro
duced Solvax in Keokuk, our clerks
have been so Busy selling it that we
have hard time keeping sufficient
stock on hand. We have so much
faith in this article that we are going
to guarantee it in the future and will
return the money to any purchaser of
Solvax whom it does not help. This
NAV seem rash but our customers
have said so many good words in its
favor that we do not expect to have
many packages returned"
This shows great faith in Solvax. It
really is a most unusual medicine be-
cause it overcomes the worst cases of
kidney complaint by removing the
cause. It goes straight to the seat of
the trouble It soaks right in and
cleans out the kidneys and makes
them pass off all the uric acid and
poisonous waste matter that lodges in
the joints and muscles, causing rheu-
matte pains; soothes and heals the
bladder and quickly ends all such
troubles.
Nothing is more uncomfortable or
hurts persons perfect enjoyment of
life more than troublesome kidneys
and their attending evils. Use Solvax
and get your full measure Of benefit
Tout Of life.

Cured His RUPTURE

1 was badly ruptured while lifting
a trunk several years ago. Doctors
said my only hope of cure was an
operation. Trusses did me no good.
Finally l got hold OF something that
quickly and completely cured me.
Y ears have passed and the rupture
has never returned, although 1 am
doing hard work as a carpenter.
There was no operation. no lost time,
no trouble. l have nothing to sell,
but will give full information about
how you may find complete cure
without operation, if you write to me,
Eugene NJ. Pullen, Carpenter, SO B,
Marcellus Avenue, Manasquan. N. J.
Better cut out this notice and show
it to any others who are ruptured-
you may save life or at least stop
the misery of rupture and the worry
and danger of an operation.

DOCTORS WILL ASSIST

The first Of the free clinics in con-
nection with the public schools, was
held yesterday morning in the newly
fitted clinic room in the George Wash
ington school. There were three pa
tents at this clinic, and the school
nurse, Miss Brennan, and some men,
Der of each child's family.
One of the cases examined by DIR. F..
M. Hanson disclosed the fact that the
pupils ears were affected; another
case involved tonsilitis and adenoids,
and eye trouble. The third case was
one which will have to be referred to
the free clinic at Iowa City, under the
new state law, 1t is believed. s
Superintendent William Aldrich OF
the public schools has received offers
of assistance and cooperation from q
number Of doctors here. Letters were
sent out last week telling of the open
ing of the clinic room, and asking the
doctors to cooperate. The medical
men have been more than willing, it
seems from the replies sent in. One
OF the local physicians has offered his
services gratis for any X-ray photo
graphs which may be needed. It is ex-
pected that other physicians who are
specializing in any one subject Will be
glad to give time in their branches
Clinic Room Well Fitted.
The board room In the George
Washington school has been fitted up
for the clinic. A coat Of white enamel
paint has been given the room. This
will stop up the pores in the plaster
ing, and prevent any spread Of con-
tagion should such a case be found on
examination. An electric light of high
candle power is fitted on swinging

en- in a doctors private office is CIV
en- in the clinic room In the matter of
instruments and cleanliness.
Miss Brennan, the school nurse, will
see that the pupils and some member
of the family, wherever it is possible,
are at the clinic room at the ap-
pointed time. 1t Is felt in this work.
that wherever parents take sufficient
interest in the child to accompany
them, they will take sufficient interest
to take all steps possible to accom-
plish the cure recommended by the
doctor in charge of the clinic.
A conference held last fall between
the health committee of the board and
doctors of the city resulted in the
esta blishment of this room.
