Let Kodol Digest
What You Eat
Then you Eat what you like, for Kodo will do
exactly what your stomach does when it is well

You once could eat anything you
wanted, and your stomach would
digest it.
But now there are some things
which your stomach won't digest.
Your stomach absolutely refuses to
accommodate you when you eat
certain food-so you have been
forced by your stomach to eat food
which you digested and pass up
those delicacies that you would
have really enjoyed.
There is a way now to eat any
thing you like, if you will let Kodol
digest it.
Kodol will do this, too. 1t won't
talk back or command, but will go
right ahead. with it's work and di-
gest all the food you eat. Kodol
! will let you eat anything you like.
You will not have that heartburn
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1909-05-04

which is SO annoying at times, II
you will let Kodol digest your food
a while.
You don't have to use Kodol long
only for a little while-just long
enough for your stomach to rest
little. 1t gets tired sometimes, too
just the same as anybody or part
of your body that works.
Kodol will do the same work as
the stomach, when it is well and
strong. Every tablespoonful will
digest 2A pounds of food.
Our Guarantee. G arbattl sG Of
Kodol. If you are not benefited-the
druggist will at once return your mon
ey. Don't hesitate; any druggist will
sell you Kodol on these terms. The
dollar bottle contains 21e times as
much as the Soc bottle. Kodol is pre-
pared in the laboratories of e. c. De
Witt & Co., Chicago.

NEGRO SALOON IN
SIMPSON HOUSE.
City Council Refuses to Grant PERMITS
sion For New Dive to be
Opened up in This
City.
IT MADE HICKEY ANGRY
His Eloquent Appeals For the New
Dive Were in Vain, Three
Democrats Forsakins
Him.
IT MADE HICKEY ANGRY

There will be no negro saloon In the
Simpson house, thanks to Alderman
Brown who voted with the Republican
ing and also thanks to the fact that
the council contains but eleven alder
men at present.
In spite of the eloquent appeals OF
Alderman Hickey that the city needed
money so bad that negro saloon in
the Simpson house should be tolerat-
ed and his efforts to ridicule the alder
men int voting for such dive 1t lost
but by vote of 6 to and when the
question was reconsidered and voted
on again, aldermen Keifer and McCor-
mick Topped over onto the decent
side and the matter was thoroughly
swamped by vote of to 4.
The plea was made that the city
needed the money, that negro saloon
would concentrate the bad negroes
where the police could easily find
them, that the saloons Of the city are
being conducted all right just now and
that the city marshal has full control
over them All OF these pleas had no
effect and the negro saloon will not
open UP.
The turn of affairs did not please
Alderman Hickey who showed his dis
gust at the action Of the council by
stating that he favored the recall of
aldermen who voted against grading
the sidewalk space in front of Hiram
Stebbins' property on South Second
street, believing that all aldermen
who voted against this work were a
menace to the community. A motion
to grade the sidewalk space came up
and some of the aldermen wanted to
refer it to committee instead of pass
ing it at once. Mr. Stebbins was pres
ent and addressed the council stating
that if the city would grade his side
walk space, he would put in cement
walk instead of the old board walk
which is now there. The council
ordered the grading DONE
An important item was the ordering
OF the brick paving of Seventh street
from Main to Blondeou street There
was good sized audience present,
the spectators expecting the acllng
mayor to appoint his police, but he
did not do so, having some time ago
announced that he would make no ap-
pointments until the contest has been
decided

Aid. Christy asked for reconsider
alton of the vote on the Vincent sa-
loon matter. Aid. DeYong wanted
the names on the property holders
consent examined and cid not believe
that the Simpson house was a At
place for saloon. Alderman Hickey
made an eloquent plea in favor OF
opening up the negro saloon, stating
that 1t would be easy for the police to
concentrate the negros there. He
asked that ex-marshal Henneman who
was present and City Marshal Kessel-
ring give their opinions to the coun-
Gil.
Ex-chief Henneman was called on
and said that he believed 1t better to
have the negros where they could be
found.
Marshal Kesselring said that it was
a hard proposition to control the sa-
loon business in Keokuk. 'If you get
that gang to going down there, you
will have trouble he said and did
not believe that new negro saloon
was desirable or that the opening of
it would concentrate the bad negros.
Alderman Brown said that Fifth.
nth an. Thirteenth and Main had
been negro concentration points and
that there was still trouble now and
then.
Alderman DeYong said that when
the negro saloon was running at
Fourth and Johnson street there was
always trouble and whenever he
called up the police, they never ar
rived until after the battle was en-
tirely over.
Alderman Johnson wanted to know
who seconded the motion to recon
slider. holding that it was not one who
voted against the petition in the first
place ard therefore improper The
motion was put by the chair never
theless.
