The color in your cheeks won't

This was the advice of prominent
physician to womans club in Bos-

Belching of gas, heaviness. sour
taste in mouth. dizziness, biliousness
and nausea occur simply because the
stomach is not properly digesting the
food.
The blood needs nourishment to
carry vigor, vim and vitality to every

POWER PLANT
AT WAPELLO
Chicago Capitalists Plan to Secure
Possession Of Old Mill Dam
Near That Place.

A dispatch from WapelIo saws that
ehere is proposition on foot to Sc
cure the old mill race ana dam near
that city for the purpose OF securing
power plant. Capitalists from Chi.
cago have been in that city for ten
days past working UP the scheme and
are now securing the rights of way.
Continuing it says: The power plant
would be located at or near the old
site OF the hydraulic mil which was
DESTROYED fifteen years ago Providing
the company meets with success the
mill race will be deepened and wild
ened and sheet metal dam will be
thrown across the Iowa river at a
point five miles north of Wapello.
According to the plans, the race
would be made five feet deep, and the
canal would divert the water across
the bend of the Iowa river The COM
pany does not request that any bonus
be given, but are asking that the right
OF way be donated and in return agree
to put bridge across the race on
each farm. 1t is desired that CON
struction work begin at once so as to
have the plant in operation at the
earliest possible date
The old mill stood at the northeast
corner Of Wapello and had not been
used for the past twenty years. Eff
teen years ago the building was de-
stroyed and the mill race neglected.
1t has since filled up and became use
less. The race is five miles long and
begins at point near Bard Station,
on the Rock Island road, and empties
into the Iowa river again near the
Hogback road.
The proposition is indefinite The
plant would be used to supply electric
power to the towns in this vicinity.
While the amount of horse power
the mill race would develop would be
! limited, 1t would be sufficient for the
needs in this vicinity and would be
a great advantage in the way of sup.
plying cheap power and light. The
people of Wapello are greatly inter-
ested in the success of the movement

A MYSTERIOUS

Or How a City Letter Carrier Caused
Fright Among the Men of Uncle

1t was expected that several of the
city letter carriers, mail men"
would not show up at the government
building this morning to fill their
pouches with the stamped missives
and magazines for delivery and it
was indeed great surprise to the
chief mailing clerk when each and
every one of the carriers put in his
appearance. What might have eX-
cused these men of Uncle Sam from
remaining home for while was the
fact that Letter Carrier 10 Thompson,

Government Has Ordered Six-Months'
Test on Burlington, and Device
is Expected to Do Much
for the SERVICE.
THE TEST IS SUCCESSFUL
1t is Believed That Washington Mans
Invention is Great Improvement
Over Method Now Being
Used by Roads.

The government has ordered six
months test of new mail pouch col
lecting and delivering device to be
made on the Burlington route.
A number of prominent government
mail service and railway officials at
tended test made Thursday at West
ern Springs, Illinois, of a new mail
pouch collecting and delivering de-
vice, which is expected to revolution
ize this brancs. of the United States
mail service.
Among those who were present at.
the test were Captain E. J West, SUI
perintendent of the Sixth division of
United States railway mail service,
and Assistant Superintendent F. D..
Johnston. Among the railroads rep
resented by officials in charge of mail
service, were the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy, the Atchinson. Topeka &
Santa Fe, and c., R. l. & P.
The test was made on the main line
of the Chicago. Burlington and Quincy
railroad with special train running
from eight to seventy miles an hour,
and was entirely successful.
Briefly described. the new device,
which is the invention of w. NJ. Cort-
hell of Washington, d. c., consists OF
swinging gate attached to the door
of a railway mail car, and crane
erected at the side of the railway
track, the gate being so constructed
90 IN ctriLa tho po,,oh ne ,,,oi1 cur
pended from the crane at an angle of
30 degrees, thereby reducing the
shock of the contact and preventing
any damage to the sack, throwing the
sack safely within the car.
There was also tested a device for
automatically delivering great quaint
ties of heavy mail at any distance
from the car, whicl precludes the pos
sibility, as is now the case, of sacks
getting under the trains. These two
devices are operated with practically
the same equipment.
The trouble with the devices for de-
livering and collecting mail now in
service according to railway mail ex-
perts, is that it is impossible to load
any sack to be connected with more
than twenty pounds OF mail, and the
sacks are subjected to such rough
treatment and usage that 400 en-
ployes are constantly employed in re-
pairing them. A great many sacks al
SO are lost through the failure Of the
devices now in use to work properly.
THE test Of the new device was
very interesting one, and both the de-
livery and collection of mail pouches
by it were satisfactory" said F. D.
Johnston of the government railway
mail service.

other Passengers Fortunately
Saved when Train Left
Track Near Mendon.
GOING 40 MILES AN HOUR

that point and blocking traffic for
hours The Quincy Wing says:
Members of the local party were:
Glen Broker, Elmer Miller. Russell
Clark, William Kersick, Frank e.
Stannus, John Sacre and Ben Haver-
land. With the exception Of the lat
ter two, the men were enroute to
Carthage for the purpose of install
ing lodge of Owls there.
Train Leaves Rails.
No. III left Quincy at $40 and was
due to arrive in Carthage at 5:24.
When at point Is miles from this
city and 40 miles from Carthage the
train, which was goirs at the rate of
about 40 miles an hour, suddenly left
the rails. 1t vas composed of only
the combination baggage and express
car and two passenger cars. The
combination car and the passenger
coach, in which was the Quincy dele
cation, left the track and took the
plunge.
Escape Injuries.
With the exception of a severe
shaking-up and a few scratches. there
was not person on the train injured
and it will remain mystery to rail-
road men. Tho cars We're smashed
and how the men escaped death or
serious injury cannot be understood
Members of the party finally made
their way to Mendon, the nearest
point, where Mr.. Stannus managed to
get telephone message through to
Quincy. apprising his wife of the fact
that not member of the party had
sustained serious injuries and request
ed her to feel no Lneasiness, no mat

he knew would reach Quincy.

The dispatcher said train No. 106
would not arrive l.ere until about mid
night, his supposition being that the
train would carry the passengers to
Mendon where they could find ac-

message he received confirmed the
report sent here that there had been
meme of the passengers injured.
The track there was blocked the
greater part of the night. At six
