Dynamite from the Skies

TT is a common weakness OF our human
i nature that we can work ourselves into a
blue funk by coupling our imagination with a
very slight possibility. thereby causing much
suffering for ourselves.
Take the modern flying machine. Never
so many folk think of it only an engine
OF war, shedding bombs ike rain and blowing
the whole country into srnithereens. During
the Spanish-Americau War summer resorts
along the Atlantic Coast were deserted be-
cause people were afraid that the poor. feeble
Spanish fleet under Cervera would devastate
the whole soaboard.
But this aeroplane bomb business seems a
little more fcarsone. possibly because it IS
more mysterious. Ii one adds mystery 20 an
imaginary trouble. it Will do about three
times much work. with the consequent syf-
fering. We know that the cost OF one battle
ship would build FIVE thousand aefoplaneS.

More books were taken out OF the
public library in January than in any
previous month in its history, not
withstanding that Keokuk has for
some years circulated more books in
proportion to population than any
other city in Iowa, except Iowa City,
the seat of the state university which
ties Keokuk for first place.
This was shown by the monthly re-
port of Librarian Mamie P. Fulton to
the trustees at the ,eeting of the
board last night
Figures for the entire year show
that during 1909 the number of books
read from the library was 62.377 with
5,112 borrowers cards in force or an
average of twelve to the patron Of
the library and an average of over
four to each man, woman and child
in Keokuk. This is in addition to
the large number of reference works
and periodicals read in the library

were taken out, and the smallest days
drawing was 62 books, the average for
each day of the year being 2o3 books
borrowed.

A Handsome Woman

Every woman may not be hand
some, but every woman should
keep with care the good points
nature has given her. No woman
need have sallow skin, dull eye,
blotchy complexion, who pays
proper attention to her health.
Where constipation, liverderange-
ments, blood impurities and other
irregularities exist, good complex
ion, bright eyes and sprightly
movements cannot exist. Internal
arrangements reveal themselves sooner
or later on the surface. Headache, dark
rings around the eyes, sallow skin, a con-
slant tired feeling---mean that the liver
and digestive organs are needing help and
correction. Chamberlain's Stomach and
Liver Tablets give this necessary help.
They work in natures own way. They do not
merely flush the bowels but tone up the liver and
stomach to fulfill their proper functions. So mild
and gentle do they act that one hardly realixes
