Keokuk Women Are Finding Relief

1t does seem that women have
more than fair share Of the aches
and pains that afflict humanity; they
must keep UP, must attend to dut-

or headaches, dizzy spells, bearing
down pains; they must stoop over,
when to stoop means torture. They
must walk and bend and work with
racking pains and many aches from

Free from Sin.

Among the many excuses for drink
ing one of the most convincing is that
noted by Lord John Russell in the jour
nal kept of his youthful travels in
Spain When visiting Plasencia he
met convivial ecclesiastic who ex-
pressed his establishment that a scion
of the aristocracy noted throughout
Europe for their drinking prowess
should prove so moderate in his po-
tations. Lord John retorted that he
had no desire to reach the six bottle
standard set by some of his peers. His
boon companion proceeded to rebuke
him for his departure from sane ira
dition and concluded by remarking
that "even on religious grounds you
are wrong. For he who drinks well
sleeps we'll. He who sleeps well sins
not. And he who sins not shall be
saved"

WHAT'S the matter with Keokuk?
In these days OF theatrical publicity
there remains no excuse for the mis-
information SO prevalent in this city.
When Mrs. Carter came to Keokuk
and played "Vasta Herne," produc-
ton that has been received with APP
probation all over the country, and
portrayed the character in such su-
perb manner, the gossiper circulated
the story that it was not Mrs. Carter,
but an understudy Or someone, no
one knew just who. The report was
as false as it was malicious. The
knocker also got his hammer ready
and kept many away from the Sunny
Side of Broadway, one of the best
musical attractions on the road. And
now, right now, interrogations are
! being made as to whether "The Soul
Kiss" is the real thing. Isn't it time
to wake up and also time to post UP
and admit that Manager Hughes is
giving Keokuk not only the show he
advertises but the people he adver
tises. "The Soul Kiss" is a high class
/ performance. Don't let the misin
former keep you away from the Crane

made his sudden departure from the
