For Diseases of the Skin.

Nearly all diseases Of the skin,
such as eczema, letter, salt rheum
and barbers' itch, are characterized
by an intense itching and smarting,
which often makes life burden and
disturbs sleep and rest. Quick relief
may be had by applying Chamber
lain's Salve. It allays the itching and
smarting almost instantly. Many
cases have been cured by its use. For
sale by all dealers.

l am candidate for municipal
judge. You know the Importance Of
this court. Perhaps SO per cent Of
all your cases in law will come before

man who in his Interpretation Of
civil rights regards all men as equal.
If elected to the municipal bench I
will see that every man who comes
before me, regardless of race or creed
or party, receives justice tempered
with sympathy and help. The judi
cial bench should be a symbol of help
for the offender as we'll as a symbol
of protection for society. The inter-
ests of both society and the ogender
should be guarded. I claim the sup
port of the voters Of Des Moines on
the basis of my humanitarian inter-
ests of both society and the offender
fail me. Your interests and my SYM
pathies are linked together, and you
cannot afford to separate them. I
am qualified to sit on the municipal
bench, especially qualified, as may be
easily seen by an examination Of the
legal works I have compiled and
edited. I was selected by commit
tee of the legislature to compile the
supplement of 1918, containing all the
general and permanent Iowa laws en-
acted between 1897 and 1918. also
