Sample Helps
FraiI Women

So many women are dragging out
weary lives just because their diges-
tive organs are weak. The result is
poor circulation, nervousness and the
verge of invalidisn. 1t is often very
unnecessary and the woman's own
fault.
The first thing to do is to look to the
welfare OF your bowels. There the trou-
BILE usually lies. All physicians know
habitually constipated, and from this re-
suits indigestion. piles. WEAKNESS. etc,
that women constantly complain Of
edies" and things of that kind until you
have started your bowels to moving.
You win find that when the bowels move
petty ills win disappear. Take a good
mild laxative tonic like DR. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin for awhile and you will
ind IND yourself rapidly getting better and
selves and work at stated times, and
then your headaches and dizziness will
disappear. Don't take strong cathartic
pills or salts. but just such a mild and
pleasant -tasting remedy as DR.. Caldwell's

nently cure you Thousands OF women

WABASH OFFICIALS
ARE BUSY MEN NOW
While on their inspection Tour They
Have Not Time to stop for
Luncheon.

One OF the Keokuk papers con-
tanned an article on the day of the
Wabash officials visit to the city
which censured the big officials for
their lack of courtesy in not staying
for luncheon, or not sending word
twenty-four hours in advance. The
Quincy Wing believes that railroad
officials on tour of inspection are
too busy to bother with Commercial
clubs and In addition to reprinting the
article is responsible for the follow
ing lead:
Up in Keokuk, whenever they do
not get what they want, they get real
angry. They go or. the theory that
mo matter what sort of request they

the Commercial club of Keokuk made
preparations to give the officials OF
the Wabash luncheon, before they
found out in advance If 1t would be
possible for them to accept the invi-
tation. Shortly before the officials ar
rived they telegraphed that they were
too busy to stop over for any social
functions, as they had to hurry on to
Quincy, then to Hannibal and St.
Louis-all this in one short afternoon
too. The Keokuk people felt like
they had been insulted because the

TEST CASE MADE
BY FISHERMEN
But Game Warden's Contention on
Fishing, With Seines Was Up
held by Judge Martin.

A decision which is of extreme in
terest locally among fishermen is
given in the following dispatch from
Jefferson City, Mo-:
State Game and Fish Commission
er Jesse A.. Tolerton received infor-
nation today from Boonville that the
contention of his department that the
use of nets, other than seines, in
catching fish from the Missouri and
Mississippi rivers was unlawful, was
sustained by ruling of Judge Mar
tin. Fishermen along the Mississippi
and Missouri rivers have held to the
theory that they were entitled to use
any kind of nets In catching fish
from these streams, provided the
meshes were not less than two inches
square. Mr.. Tolerton contended that
the law gave them no authority to
use anything except seine, with
meshes not less than two inches
square
Several fishermen at Boonville and
other points on the river concluded
to make test case, and with this
end in view one of the fishermen,
named Donovant, residing at Boon
vile, purposely afforded Deputy
Game Warden w. T. Reed. of Morgan
county, an opportunity to arrest him.
The result, as telegraphed to the
state game and fish commissioner, is
that Judge Martin sustained the con-
tention of Mr.. Tolerton and fined
Donavant $50 and costs. The prose.
cution was brought under Section 81
of the new game and nsh laws.
Mr.. Tolerton said that since this
law became effective he is satisfied
full 1000 nets have been destroyed
by his deputies. Dynamiting fish was
also common in some parts of the
state when the law went into effect
The other day man was fined $500
and costs in the circuit court Of But
Ter county for dynamiting fish.
Although the hunting season has
not really opened yet, the state game
fund has about $4,000 and this will
probably be doubled within the next
thirty days Non-residents are learn
4 ing they cannot hunt in the state
without procuring license.

Fire Chief John Anderson, and VIM.

ed seventy-six of the fire plugs on the
south side of the city and made a
record of all those which he found In
need OF repairs, or leaking.
A number of these he found to be
IN not first class condition, spraying
water all over when turned on. In
case these were used during freezing
weather, they would freeze UP and
clog up. becoming useless. All the
hydrants found in such a condition
were marked Bum" by the fire chiei
