to say a remedy will cure certain
troubles, but we have positive proofs
that Root Juice will cure rheumatism,
catarrh of the stomach, constipation,
nervous weakness and most of the Kid

or destroying germs that often infest
the body and weaken and disease the
digestive and secretory organs. The
Juice also has wonderful soothing,
healing and tonic action on the stom
ach, bowels, bladder, liver and kid
neys. What it has done at other
points, it certainly can do in MARSHALL
town. / feel safe in predicting that in
less than two weeks scores of local
people will be loud in their praise of The
health promoting juice" Newspaper
reports indicate that many experience
rapid improvement from the very
start. The demonstrations will con-
tinue at lMorgan's drug store a few
days. The juice is sold for 81 bot
tie or three bottles for $3.50. 1t has
created a great sensation during the
past few months on account of the
many seemingly remarkable cures it
has mada.

ing is just as much of a fine art as
writing. They say that 1t is a matter
of brain work as well as of manual
skill. And every woman who has made
success of cooking, whether or not
she has of writing or Of acting, knows
that this is the case.
Success in baking depends on the
materials chosen as well as on the
right temperature of the oven or the
exact measures of quantity. You may
by chance get the oven right, but If
you have poor material you can not
possibly achieve triumph of culinary
art. You can't bake good cake or good
mullins or good gingerbread or good
biscuits unless YOU have good baking
powder. If you have perfect material,
you will have perfect results. Calu-

Highest Award at the Worlds Pure
Food Exposition, is the best baking
powder on the market, and it sells at

day TO start the advertising campaign
for the appearance of the show here on
Saturday, July IT, Frank Estes Is in
charge of the car. Few people stop to
realize the wonderful amount of work
and system that is brought into eff
feet in the routing of a big circus and
the carrying on of its advertising cam
pagn, and few facts will no doubt
prove interesting.
In the first place a big circus, like
Barnum's, will have it's general offices
in Chicago and in these offices are a
corps of men, all of whom take some
active part in the selection of the sea-
sons route.
Before a town is chosen as an ex-
hibition stand for a big circus, every
detail concerning it's condition is looked
into. If it Is manufacturing town,
investigation is made as to whether
the factories are running and if So
whether on full time and full pay. It is

REBUILT EplFlcE WILL MAKE
ONE OF FINEST CHURCHES
IN THE CITY.
RECEIVED FROM
ST. PAUL ARCHITECT
Seating Capacity of RemodeIed strue-
ture Will Be in Neishborhood Of H.
600, as Compared to About 400 at
Present-Description Of the Interior
From Plans.

The First Baptist church of this city
is not going to be behind the march of
progress that has marked the city
churches during the present season,
and by the time snow flies the people
Of Marshalltown will not recognize the
old Baptist church in the building that
will occupy the present site on Church
between Center street and First avenue.
The Baptists will put $4,000 into the
improvements on their property, in re-
building and redecora ting. When COM
pleted the church will not only be one
of the largest in the city, but perhaps
the handsomest OF them all.
The present seating capacity OF the
church is about 400. and according to
the new plans the capacity win be in
creased more than double. to between
900 and 1000. Aside from the main
audience room the large Sunday school
room can be opened into the main
auditorium. and separate Sunday school
class rooms can be utilized in making
the one big audience room.
Increase Size Of Building.
The plans provide for extending the
front Of the present building to .he
sidewalk line and for extending The
rear end ten feet OF more, but without
disturbing the organ. Then an ad-
dition with a low roof is to be built
eleven feet wide on each side, and the
1o,1- Nf ct Ia
walls opened so as to include the new
space in the main auditorium. Thus
the auditorium of the church is made
longer to the front and eleven feet
wider on each side Five Sunday school
rooms are provided along the nor:h
wall. opening into the auditorium, and
vestibule entrance to the church is
built on each of the front corners.
BY the use OF a balcony across me
front OF the extended building seven
more class rooms are provided on a
second floor. which can also be used
for seating space at crowded mset-
ings.
Largest Banquet Room in City.
The basement, too, is to be extended
on all four sides, the same as the main
walls of the church, providing a dining
room OF more than twice the present
size, and making, in fact the largest
banquet room in the city, 57x92, with
ample kitchen in the rear.
By extending the side walls and rear.
provision is made In the main auditor
ium for an open baptistry to the right
OF the organ. with dressing rooms in
the rear. and with a large choir room
on the east side, and pastors study on
the west
Work to Begin Soon.
The work on rebuilding the church
will begin just as soon as the working
plans are received from the architect,
Harry w. Jones' of ST. Paul. Mr.. Jones
is church architect. does nothing else
but prepare plans for churches, and
has built some very beautiful buildings
turnout the country. He thinks tina,
out of the present building can be
made one of the finest churches in the
state for its size.

for feed for the andrnals and horses, ar
range for the bread, meat, butter, milk
and groceries to be delivered to the
show.
Contracts are-made with q local liv-
eryman for a number Of teams to be
sent into the country for advertising
the routes for each team being laid out
at the same time. After the contract
ing agent has completed all arrange
ments for the shows coming, an adver-
tising campaign is started which has
no comparison in any other line of
business.
There are three advertising cars up
on which are brigade of-thirty men
to each car, then there are several spe-
cial billing brigades. In all there are
nearly one hundred advance agents.
These include general agents, contract
ing agents, railroad contractors, press
agents. car managers, bill posters.
photographers, banner men and twenty
four hotr men.
The campaign of advertising Is laid
out in a most systematic manner. From
six to ten teams are sent into the coun-
try accompanied by men who post pic
torial paper in every country town, viii
lage and at every cross road within
a radius of thirty miles or more and
they also place smaller advertising
matter in every farm house.
The name of the town and the date
of the exhibition are the two things
featured. In other words, Marshall
town the place. July II the date, and
"Barnum and Bailey's Greatest Show
on Earth" the event, is hammered into
the minds of every one for miles
around right up to the day of the show.
It is said that the Ringing spirit
pervades the whole atmosphere of the
Barnum show this year. The Ringlings
now own the show, and Otto Ringing
is manager and with the show. The
first thing the Ringlings did when they
bought was to re-estabilsh the street
parade, which had been dispensed with
by the Barnum management for two
or three years.

SCHOOL CENSUS COMPLETED.
Enumeration Of Children Shows Total
of 3,31o.

According to the school cencus,
which has just been completed by Sec
rotary George Beasley, of the school
board, there are in the city 1919 chill
dren ard young people. between the
ages Of 3 and 81 years. The count
shows falling off of twenty-five COM
pared with the school cencus of 1908,
when the total was 3,341. The de-
crease. even altho it is slight. is hard to
account for, as it is generally admitted
that the city has grown in population
in the last year. Evidences of this fact
are shown in the increased number of
employees working in the factories and
shops. and the number Of new families
which have moved here, and also that
there are practically no good houses
vacant in the city
The second ward showed substan-
tial increase, and the First and Fourth
wards were about the same as last
year There was a falling off in both
the Third and Fifth wards.

Local Comment

The attendance at the state bar as
ISOLATION was sufficient to tax the ca
pacity of our hotels, altho there were
only a few hundred present. Would it
not be good public policy to promote
more hotels?
The business men OF Marshalltown
are now asked to invest In a new fac
tory and in per cent preferred stock
of one OF our established and success
full factories at the rfate OF 81 per
week for each share taken, being guar
anteed that the new factory will pay
out each week for labor in Marshall
town dollar for dollar as paid in by
investors. AT the end of 100 weeks, or
in less than two years, the business
men will stop paying and receive their
stock with possible profits of 10 to 10
per cent per annum from the new COM
pany and Z per cent preferred fsom
the old company, while the new COM
pany will go right on paying out for
labor forever. What better odds can
we ask in this game Of being a
booster?
1t IS more than probable that the
bidding upon proposed paving is not
going to be active, and there will be
the suspicion that more than one bid
will be of the straw variety, put in to
afford pleasant company for some 9TH
err bid. Unless the price is made right
the city council had better change their
specifications still more and readver-
tise. With a s15o,ooo contract involved,
good trusteeship of public business
would demand extreme caution. If the
same men sat as a committee in the
Elks or Masonic lodge they would ex-
ercise the utmost of careful Judgment
and caution. Why not as a committee
/ for the city?
| Marshalltown may yet get an inter-
urban to Grundy Center, since the pro-
moters refuse to give 1t up, and there
is now a right of-way man in the
field. 1t would be the making of this
city II some group of men Of large
means. like the Folks of Des Moines
could take over the local public utili-
ties plant and extend it into interur-
ban service on the Hamilton Brown
plan. That plan would work wonders
for this city If backed by men with
money with which to carry 1t out.
i And now we are to have another
magnificent new church in Marshall
town. This time it is to be a beautiful
structure facing the court house
square. and will probably be unde,
way even before the First Church o,
lHhrict
lalready promised. The only thing o.
the kind really needed after this is al

IlcK's FIRST LOVE AFFAIR
Future Millionaire Was RepuIsed by
Girls Father Because OF His
Poverty.

There are many stories Of the light
er side of finance in which love affairs
find a place. Perhaps none Of these
is more peculiar than the story of
James Lick, name famous all over
the world through monument to his
memory, the great Lick observatory,
in California. In the financial world
the great city of San Francisco is a
monument to Lick's luck-he foresaw
the possibility of the great city Of the
Pacific slope. bought the land on
which 1t now stands, and became a
millionaire. Before that time the
name of Lick was great in the musical
world. Lick's pianos-out of which
he made the money which he invested
in land-were manufactured by him.
But on the poetic side of life-a world
apart from such things as piano.mak.
Ing and mud-tiats-the great Lick Mill
stands as monument to Lick's love.
In early life James Lick sought the
hand of a miller's daughter, but was
repealed by the father on the ground
that the young sutton did not possess
mill. Many years afterwards, when
he had become one of the richest men
in the states, he erected large mill
and adorned 1t like palace. 1t was
built of mahogany and costly woods.
and erected solely as a memorial of
his youthful attachment. His only
pleasure was to contemplate this pa.
latial mill and to gloat over the man
who had spurned him for his poverty.
