LAUNCH SPEED TABLE

The Hornet" the fine little twenty
six foot launch in which Major Meigs,
Colonel Richie and two young boatmen,
Theodore Meyling and George Martel
will make the trip down the Des
Moines river in the near future, is
almost completed, in fact all the me-
chanical work about the boat is fin
ished and the paint has to dry on the
new craft When all will be ready for
the shipment Of the boat to Des Moines
by rail and then launched on the
bosom of the Des Moines for the initial
trip down the stream which has for
years been considered unfit for nayi-
cation of any thing larger than
flat boat and sometimes not even that
specie of craft was considered worth
using on the stream. The trip by the
keokuk party and Colonel Richie will
be for the purpolse OF, determining
whether or not the stream can be
used for navigation of larger vessels
and their report to the water ways
commission will be awaited with n
tense interest by rivermen all over this
part of the country The work of can
alization of the river will begin shortly
should the Des Moines be considered
all right for navigation by the party
who will make the trip within a
short time.
The Gate City has made arrange
ments with Major Meigs whereby a
report of the procedure of the party
from time to time can be obtained and
which will no doubt be read with much
interest.

REGULATE THE STOMACH
Get Some Dispepsin Now and Rid Yourself of Stomach Trouble Which Is a Detrimsnt to You in Many Ways.

You can eat anything your stomach craves without fear of a, case of Indi- gestion or Dyspepsia, or that your food will ferment or sour on your stomach if you will take Diapepsin after eating.
 Your meals will taste good, and anything you eat will be digested; nothing can ferment or turn into acid or poison or stomach gas. which causes Belching. Dizziness, a feeling of fullness after eating, Nausea, In- digestion (like a lump of lead in stom- ach), Biliousness, Heartburn, Water brash Pain in stomach and intestines or other symptoms
 Headaches from the stomach are absolutely unknown where this effec- tive remedy is used. Diapepsin really does all the work of a healthy. stom- ach. It digests your meals when your stomach can't. Each triangule will digest all the food you can eat and leave nothing to ferment or sour.
 Get a large 5e-cent case of Tapes Diapepsin from your druggist and start taking today and by tomorrow you will actually brag about your healthy, strong Stomach, for you then can eat anything and everything you want without the slightest discomfort or misery. and every particle of i'm purity and Gas that Is in your stom- ach and intestines is going to be car riec away without the use of laxatives or any other assistance.

Tox Commissioner corbin's Three
 Ways.

WGI1s
 Mir. corbin sees that if state expenses are to be on the present liberal scale, there must be some new source of state revenue discovered. He .offers three methods-an increase of the inheritance tax rate. a tax on what IS called the corporate excess, and direct state tax. As regards the first, this state charges less Cit seems) than most of the other states charge, and it Is to be remembered that this tax is the easiest of all to bear and as easy as any to collect. It is in effect tax on gifts; the individual who has la bored to accumulate the property has gone; the tax comes out of what he has left behind him and has 'given" to others. As to the corporate excess tax, 1t amounts in effect to taxing manufacturing stocks up to their full value, as is now done with bank, in- surance and trust compony stocks. By as much as these companies pay into the terasuries of the towns where they are located. by just so much their tax to the state will be reduced. The chief objection to it in Connecticut will be that it is a direct reversal of our established policy, which has dealt kindly and gently with manufactures as the activities and life of their com munities It is method. however, which has proved itself across the line in Massachusetts where manufactur- ing seems to flourish notwithstanding the corporate excess tax. The Courant believes that whatever may be done with the other proposed sources of in- come. there should be a direct state tax, if for no other reason than in or der to make the payers of that tax sit up and take notice of the state ex- penditures. There are manifest ex- travagances today which would never be tolerated if every citizen felt his own money was floating away in this manner. There is lot to think about in NIT. Corbin's suggestive paper Hartford Courant.

 Filling for Teeth.
DR. JACKSON PRACTICES
 THIS MODERN DENTISTRY
Everybody Can Possess Teeth of Nat
 ursl Besuty-No Pain.

Tn this day of Porcelain Dentistry one who suffers the disadvantages Of an unsound and unsightly set of teoth is his or her own worst enemy. Iris not the intention of the writer Co dwell extensively on the matter Of being thus handicapped. for every possessor of a poor. repulsive set of teeth knows too well the disadvantages which very often extend even to tortuous degree. A person who rather than open his mouth to talk. thus exposing the docayed condition of his teeth, does not enter in a con- versation, is often mistaken for ignor- ant, or. so to speak. a dummy still this sams person may be the wit of the company a brilliant man or Won- an. and is sacrificing the opportunity to make good" simply because of self consciousness or rather consciousness concerning the repulsive or detectable false set of teeth he SO zealousiy at tempts to hide. Such a person is his own worst enemy. Since tho inception of the practice of Porcelain Dentistry in this city by Dr. Jackson at the King Dental Parlors many people have been released from the bondage of poor teeth to find life far more worth llv- ing, for such teeth are not only a men- ace to health. but to social aspirations as well. The "old schooI dentistry was all right. It served its purpose
 
 but it did not go far enough to restore the natural beauty of the mouth, This is the mission of Porcelain Dentistry ito give you set of teeth either by filling process. inserted teeth, or bridgework that will SO closely con- form to nature as to be absolutely non -detectable- No gold or metal of any kind is used in the practice of this modern dentistry, for metal is in strong and ugly contrast with the color with which nature has endowed the teeth. but Porcelain is natures counterpart and while shades of teeth vary Force lain is by a unique and practical pro- cess baked so the precise shading of your teeth will be perfectly matched. In this way you are. through Poroo- lain Dentistry alone. given @ set of non -detectable and teeth that you are glad to show. If you arc the possessor of bad teeth. don't remain in the put it-of class any longer, but act at once, for you're robbing yourself of much of the good fin life. You will nnd 1t one Of tho greatest reliefs you've ever experienced to be able to talk sort of feeling that the ono you are addressing is looking critically at your teeth. Porcelain Dentistry is for you because 1t Is the dentistry that will do the most for you. The nothods em- ployed in the practice are positively painless. No long drilling or nalist- ing-the operation is rapid and does away with the pain and tediousness of the old time methods, Dr. Jackson would like to have a talk with you about your teeth. He will tell you without cost what he can do for you Visit him at the King Dental Pariors. Franklin Square, over Somers Bros any day or evening. You ought to know about Porcelain Dental work and he is the one 10 tell you in this city.
