REPORTS MADE TO COMMERCIAL CLUB Its Various Committees Tell of Progress Made During Past Year.

CONDITIONS ARE GOOD

Many Recommendations for Local Improvements Feature Reports.

The reports of committees for the past year and the appointment of committees for the ensuing year featured the meeting of the Commercial Club last evening. Reports were received from the following committees; insurance, public service corporations, manufacturers, membership, public health, education, house, electric railroads and legislation and taxation. The report of the committee on legislation and taxation, with those on the public service corporations and electric railroads probably were of the most Importance. The new committees to be appointed will take up these suggestions and Ktudy them, then report to the club the results of their work. Legislation Report. On summarizing the work done by it during the past year the legislation and taxation committees reported that two measures deemed of great importance to the state were the establishmen of a state penal farm and a shade tree protection law. On the first question, the report says, quite a campaign is being agitated over the state. The governor has appointed a commisison to study the state penal farm question. In addition the club had representatives appear before the state board of charities at its annual meeting to talk on the subject. The State Federation of commercial clubs has also endorsed the movement. The shade tree measure was not successful in escaping the waste basket of the legislative committee as the bill was presented rather late. The committee believes a public utility commission is necessary for the proper protection of tax payers of various cities of the Btate. The committee suggests that the club make a study of a law to regulate the sale of stocks similar to the law now In force in the state cf Kansas. It also suggests that the club direct investigation of the advantage of having a lawVenacted thai would provide for the creation of a sinking fund for cities to be used for the purpose of buying public utility bonds, and to provide a method of investigating such bonds so that the earnings on the sinking fund might accumulate and furnish a fund for the purchase of public utilities. The, committee which submitted this report is composed of George Seidel, D. W. Stevenson, J. L. Rupe, A. M. Gardner and Timothy Nicholson. Want New Car Lines. Suggesting that the T. H. I. & E. traction company be encouraged in every possible way to supply the city with better street cars because the cars' now in use are worn out, the committee of electric railways declared that such action on the part of the company would be of advantage to the

CLIMATE FAILED MEDICINE CURED It has been absolutely shown that rest, fresh air, and good food do help many persons suffering from Tuberculosis But, to be really honest, it must be admitted that the disease is seldom more than 'arrested." Something more is needed. Kckman's Alterative is a medicine made for the cure of Tuberculosis. Jt has cured this disease again and again. Often these cures have been effected where the surroundings were not ideal, where no intelligent tare was taken of the patient, where money was scarce; good food and good cooking unusual yet cures resulted. Now we argue and urge that Kt-kinan's Alterative should be used in every case of Tuberculosis, in addition to good nourishing food and frefch air, which we all need. The facts the evidence of cures that have been made are interesting reading. A remarkable case follows: Weldon. 111. "Gentlemen : Through Eckman's Alterative I have been saved from a premature grave, and, feeling that I might benefit suffering humanity, 1 take pleasure in writing you a brief history of my sickness, which you are at liberty to use. "On December 1-4, 1904, I was taken with Typhoid Pneumonia. My lungs became very mucli affected: my sputum was examined and Tuberculosis Hacilli were found. On T'ebruary 21st, 1905. was advised to go to Kort Worth, Texas. While there, an abcess in my

right lung broke and discharged. I-

grew worse, and became very much emaciated. My physician informed me that I must go to Colorado as quickly

jas possible. 1 left Texas June 1st. and j arrived in Canon City June (d, very

feeble. After being there two weeks my physician informed me that nothing could be done, as my case was hopeless. Three weeks later I returned home, weighing 103 pounds, the doctor having given nie no assurance of reaching there alive. "On July 14. 1905, I began taking Eckman's wonderful remedy for Consumption, it having been highly recommended. Today 1 weigh 15S pounds. I am stout and well and can do any kind of work about my grain elevator. I have not an ache nor pain in my lungs, eat well, sleep well, and never felt bettor. 1 would be glad if every pei son afflicted with Tuberculosis took Krkman'a cure." (Signed affidavit) AUTHUK WEBB.

lie works for purchasing an auto fire truck." Fire Prevention day, will be observed October 9, this year. A number of recommendations were made in the report of the committee on public health. Among them were that yard cleaning day should be observed; that the Bchool board should be commended for its action in having all students examined by physicians; the city authorities praised for tneir action in oiling the streets, and that this should be continued this year under the supervision of the street commissioner; that a better plan

should be adopted which would result t

in cleaner alleys; that the city officials should be encouraged and supported in closer enforcement of the ordinance governing the collection of garbage and ashes; that boxes into which garbage is placed should be screened from flies; that more street paving should be encouraged; that the railroad and traction officials should be requested to keep their premises clean. As to Manufacturers. Very little work was done by the manufacturers' committee and this fact was admitted in the report. The introduction of the report read, "It is evident that the value, if any, of this committee is analogous to that of a fire department, an organization ready

to act if a fire occurs but in the absence of a fire, having little to do." The report stated that manufactur

ing Richmond, as well as throughout the country, has not been as extensive in the past year as during the year pre

vious, and that other business was also somewhat below normal. However, as compared with the country at large, Richmond's industries have been above the average, according to the report. The committee predicts that

city and also the company. The report also recommended that the company be asked to extend its lines from South Eighth and H streets east, thence north to Main street and also to extend its lines north to Spring Grove. The members of this committee declared that they were firmly convinced that a traction line south to Cincinnati and north to Portland is one of the demands of the community and that they would continue to lend their support to the Richmond and Eastern Indiana Traction company. That a great amount of good resulted from the general observance of Fire Prevention day in Richmond is the belief of the committee on insurance. The committee report declared that one of the principal features for security against conflagrations and a revision of insurance rates is the addition or anotlier water main, which the club has recommended the city request and which matter is still pending with the city officials. The local fire loss per capital for the year ending May, 1910, was 18 cents, while the average for other cities in the United States was ?2. Praise Fire Department. "This reflects credit on the fire department and we believe they have deservedly earned the commendation of the citizenship of Richmond," the re-

j port reads. "They have been success

ful in fighting fires and quick to respond. We recommend that the club make an investigation of fire insurance rates and conduct a campaign to acquaint the people as to how best to avail . themselves of every advantage justly due them under the insurance rates. AVe commend the board of pub-

Trusses Like These Are A Crime

Get Rid of Elastic Bands, Springs and Leg-Straps. Such Harness Has Forced Thousands to Undergo Dangerous Operations. Trusses like those shown above the belt and leg-strap, elastic and spring contraptions sold by druggists, surgical supply houses and many selfstyled "Hernia Specialists" make life miserable for everybody who wears them. And even when drawn so tight you can scarcely stand to keep them on they do no good whatever. Instead, they often do immense harm they squeeze the rupture, often causing strangulation dig into the peuvic bone in front press against the sensitive spinal column at the back. . The Plain Truth Is This. Rupture as explained in our free book can't be relieved or cured can't even be kept from growing worse unless constantly held in place. Just as a broken bone can't "knit" unless the parts are held securely together. And ju3t as a bandage or splint is the only way a broken bone can be held the right kind of truss is the only hing in the world that can keep a rupture from coming out. What a difference it, will make when you get that kind of a truss. And jou can get exactly that kind of truss without risking a cent of your money. It's the famous Cluthe Truss or Cluthe. Automatic Massager. Far more than a truss far more than merely a device for holding the rupture in place. So different from everything else for rupture that it has received 18 separate patents. Thousands say it is as comfortable as their clothing. No belt, elastic belt or springs around your waist, and no leg-strap nothing to pinch, chafe, squeeze or bind. Self-regulating, self-adjusting. It is held in position by suction can't shift or slip the only truss in existence that is honestly guaranteed to hold your rupture every minute of the day. Sent on 60 Days' Trial to Prove It. We have so much faith in the Cluthe Truss we have seen it work wonders for so many others that we want to make one especially for your case and let you try it at our risk. We'll give you 60 days time to test it if it doesn't keep your rupture from coming out, when you are working and at all other times if it doesn't put an end to the trouble you've heretofore

had with your rupture if you don't get better rightaway then the truss won't cost you a cent. How It Strengthens and Heals. In addition to holding the rupture, Cluthe Truss or Cluthe Automatic Massager is constantly .giving a soothing, strengthening massage to the weak ruptured parts. All automatically the massage goes on all day long, all without any attention whatever from you. This massage which strengthens just as exercise strengthens a weak arm is so remarkably beneficial eo remarkably curative that in 199 casse out of every 200 rupture begins to get better from the day a Cluthe Truss is put on. The World's Greatest Book on Rupture Don't go on letting your rupture get worse don't spend a cent on account of your rupture until you get our book of advice which two cents for a stamp or a penny for a postal will bring you. This remarkable book cloth-bound, 98 pages, 21 separate articles, and 19 photographic pictures took us over 40 years to write took us that long to find out all the facts we've put in it. It explains the dangers of operations and why they don't always cure to stay cured. Tells why for the protection of the public drugstores should not be allowed to sell trusses. Explains why belt, spring and elactic trusses can do no good. Exposes the humbug "methods," appliances," "plasters," "systems," etc. And tells absolutely without misrepresentation all about the Cluthe Truss just how it holds how it gives the curing massage how it is waterproof how it ends all expense how you can get it on 60 days' trial and gives names and addresses of over 5,000 people who have tried it and want you to know about it.

during the coming yr business will take a decided boom in this city. -A Report on Schools.' The committee appointed recently to investigate the industrial and vocational training offered students in the local schools reported favorably, saying that all departments from the lower to the highest grades are well developed. Jn conclusion the report says: "Your committee desires to call attention to the fact that the industrial work in our schools is planned to meet the local requirements. Our factories working, in iron and wood almost entirely, our course of study is planned to develop the student in these lines. Should other industries be added to these we have at present including work in other kinds of material, the course would be adjusted to meet the new requirements. "In conclusion your committee desires to compliment our school authorities in arranging such, a well planned system of vocational training as will prepare young men and young women for entering more intelligently and successfully into the various avenues of life offered to them in our community. We recognize' the great demand for skilled hands as well as developed

minds and believe that the two lines of manual work and mental discipline should go hand in hand, coordinating one with the other."

The careful mother, who watches closely the physical peculiarities of her children, will soon discover that the most important thing: in connection with a child's constant good health is to keep the bowels regularly open. Sluggish bowels will be followed by loss of appetite, restlessness during sleep, irritability and a dozen and one similar evidences of physical disorder. At the first sign of such disorder givei the child, a teaspoonful of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring and repeat the dose the following night if necessary more than that will scarcely be needed. You will find that the child will recover its accustomed good spirits at once and will eat and sleep normally. This remedy Is a vast improvement

over salts, cathartics, laxative waters and similar things, which are altogether

too powerful for a child. The homes f Mrs. Bll IIImv 41 TV MjrL.t St . Hunt.
