EDITOR LEEDS IS THE RIGHT SORT Editor Rudolph Leeds of the Richmond Palladium is one rich young man that is not wasting his energies or his time among the snobs, but is interested in the live things of the day, and is ever looking to the betterment of conditions as they effect the people. He has just returned from Des Moines, lowa, where he chaperoned a party of Indiana people with a view of looking over their plan of municipal government, and it is probable that he may head a movement with a view of placing it into commission in this state. The Des Moines News says of Mr. Leeds: "If you had $5,000,000 would you spend it trying to make men better citizens; and the government of your city a, purer economic organization? Would you spend your time and money scouring the country to learn what is best for the people that you might give it to your neighbors and friends? Would < you spend your money in conducting a newspaper to voice the progressive thoughts of today and try and send to the state and national legislatures ( men who would fight for the interests of the common people? Not many young men would readily answer yes. Today there is a young man in Des Moines, who is the embodiment of all, these motives. He is Rudolph Leeds of Richmond, Ind. He is here with a private car of prominent men to study the Des Moines plan of government, with a view of getting it in his own city if it is better than that in vogue there. So Mr. Leeds and his party came to Des Moines to study the Des Moines plan. ‘We have the old ward system in Richmond,’ said Mr. Leeds at the Chamberlain this morning, ‘ and nominate candidates by the caucus system. We have the ward counci'men and four 'at large. Then we have the board of public works, much the same as your former government, here. The Des Moines plan looks to' us like an improvement, and we are here to see if it is as good in operation as it looks on paper. The adoption of a new plan will necessarily have to be permitted by the legislature. ” John Houck made a business trip to Monmouth today. Mrs. W. H. Stickle of Lima, Ohio, is here for a few days’ visit with her daughter, Mrs. L. L. Kintz. ITCHING ECZEMA WASHED AWAY Is it worth 25 cents to you to stop that awful, agonizing itch? Surely you will spent 25 cents on your druggist s recommendation, to cool and heal and soothe that terrible itching eruption? By arrangement with the D. D. D. Laboratories of Chicago, we are able to make a special offer of a 25-cent bottle of their oil of Wintergreen compound, known as D. D. D. Prescription.

Professor Unna of Hamburg, Germany, and Dr. Sabourand, the leading French dermatologist, discovered that a microbe causes baldness. Their theory has time and again been verified through research experiments carried on under the observation of eml- | nent scientists. The microbe lodges in the sebur, which is the natural hair oil, and when permitted to flourish ' it destroys the hair follicles and in time the pores entirely close, and the scalp gradually takes on a shiny ap--1 pearance. When this happens there 1 is not hope of the growth of hair being revived. Dandruff is a contagious disease, which is largely due to a destructive ■ microbe, which, when left to pursue its course causes itching scalp, falling hair and baldness. Dandruff is caused by the microbe affecting tho i glands which produce the sebaceous i matter, which later then naturally’ ■ dries up and scales off. , We have a remedy which will, we honestly believe, remove dandruff, ex- . terminate the microbe, promote good
