Ten Reasons Why
You Should Send for Brooks
Rupture Appliance

1. 1t is absolutely the only An.
pliance of the kind on the marke,
today. and in il are embodied the
principles that inventors have
sought after for years. n
.. The Appliance for retaining
the rupture cannot be thrown out Of
position.
:. Being an air cushion of sof,
rubber it clings closely TO the hody
yet never blisters or causes irrita-
ton.
4. Unlike the ordinary so-callea
pads. used in other trusses, K is not
cumbersome or ungainly.
S. 1t is small. soft and pliahle
and positively cannot be detected
through the clothing.
6. The soft, pliable bands holding
the Appliance do not give one the
unpleasant sensation of wearing
harness.
7. There is nothing about II 10
get foul, and when il becomes Soiled
IL can be washed without injurinc
1t in the least.
8. There are no metal R,rings IN
the Appliance to torture one by
cutting and bruising the flesh.
O. All of the material of which
the Appliances are made is of the
very best that money can buy mak-
ing it a durable and safe Appliance
to wear.
10. we guarantee your comfort
at all times and in ALI positions, and
sell every Appliance With this posi-
tive understanding.

WASHING IMPovERIsHEs SOIL

In many cases washing is far more

loss more serious 10 the average

One season of exceptional rainfall

said. Small gullics soon increase to
larger ones and finally become of such
size that they cannot be crossed with

JEFFERSON CRY. July 22.-Each day
brings fresh evidence of the growing dis.
satisfaction over The committee substitute
road bill, which was engrossed late yes
terday in the House, and at the same
time the Ralph road bill passed by the
Senate is gaining new friends. Al
though so Ear there has been no organiz-

" conceded that the supporters Of the
bill are limited to the dirt-road advocates
and these that have favored the pork
barrel proposals offered.
During the two days Of discussion pre-
ceding the engrossment Of the bill, the
measure was opposed by two factions in
the House. One OF these factions sought
to add as many amendments 10 The bill
as possible, hoping 10 so hamper the

Under the present conditions. how
ever, itjis moi believed that any com
promise agreeable 10 the various factions
in ,he House and 10 the hard.road adj
voca,es in the Senate can be reached.
The majority of the members Of The
Senate have already practically served
notice that they viii bring the special
session 10 close without any road legis.
lation rather thar, agree 10 any road pro-
gram similar TO that contained in the
House committee substitute bill.
On the other hand, the dirl-road and
pork barrel factions in the House are
just as siubbornly opposed TO the Ralph
hill. With this situation. existing. a
deadlock is no; improbable.
With the growing dissatisfaction in the
Houses however. some hope for a hard.
surface road bill is seen in the organiza.
,ion of the factions unfriendly 10 the
pork barrel plans said 10 be incorporated
in the committee substitute bill.
If these forces can be organized and
augmented by a few of the supporters
of the pork barrel plans, it is believed
that il will be possible 10 get the Ralph
bill with few amendments through the
House.
During the consideration of the com.
mitiee substitute bill in the House, ii
has been noticeable that the Democrats
have voted almost solidly for the hard.
surface road provisions in the amend.
mems. II has also been noticed thai
the supporters Of the bill have been
dwindling as one amendment after an.
other has been added. The ST. Louis and
Kansas City delegations are also fairly
well lined up for hard,surfscc road
program Because of the many conflict.
ing interests in the House, however. the
problem of organizing the hard road
supporters is considered a big ono.
This problem may solve itself whcr
the Senate refuses 10 concur in III,
amendments made by the House and The
members Of the lower branch Of III,
Legislature are brought TO a realization
that ii will be impossible 10 get a dirt
road or pork barrel bill through the
Senate. Such a solution is considered
the only hope for the passage of .ua,l
bill by the Legislature unless several
more weeks>are spent ihrashing out the
differences Of the numerous factions.
