Best Way to Get Such Condition is
by Liberal and Persistent Use
Of Newspaper Adver-
Using.
THE PAPERS CAN HELP
Retail Announcements Sent into the
homes Through Newspaper
Columns Have Desired
Effect.

Every merchant plans to enlarge his
business but every merchant does not
work his plan. Every merchant has
an ambition to see his store grow and
gives time and thought along that
direction. The merchant smiles when
his business increases and he is blue
when it decreases. The broad-minded
merchant is. pleased best when all of
the retail lines are thriving and acllv
ity is at its heighth because it be-
speaks prosperous condition along
the retail avenue and such condition
is essential to progressive city.
Many Iowa cities adopt various meth
DDS to enlarge the trade of their re-
spective places, some being unique
and more or less successful, but the
admitted plan. the one that standr
out as proved efficiency and effective
newspaper advertising Such remark
able successes as John Wanamaker,
the Philadelphia dry goods prince,
Marshal Field, Chicago, and many
others that could be mentioned, are
proved instances of what advertising
can do. And 1t is pertinent to recall
that their accomplishment was due to
newspaper advertising.
The merchants who have tested the
value of advertising will testify that
they have benefited from their cam
paign with printers ink. A local mer-
chant was asked why he advertised
so heavy and If he had any special lib
eral feeling toward the newspapers.
He replied that it was purely a bust.
ness proposition with him and a pay
ing one. So he has advertised for
years and keeps advertising. The
purpose of advertising is to pull more
trade to Keokuk and the more trade
the less merchandise the merchants
have to carry over.
The kind of advertising and the kind
of circulation are two important fea
lures for discussion.

TO LIVE A LITTLE LONGER
Ever the Elusive Hope of Humanity,
From Which 1t Seems 1t Can
Not Be Separated.

The fountain of youth is the dream
of the young. At thirty the springtime
of life Is all but gone. Lines come
upon the face, scored by cares man
has not yet the wisdom to throw OH;
the girth becomes matter of consld-
GRAFTON. the feet begin to lag, the
stairs grow long. Then comes the re-
greet for the quick years. 1t cannot
have been a mere dream which came
to Ponce de Leon in Porto Rico and
lured him to Florida in search of the
magical island of Bimini and the foun-
tain whose waters gave youth forever
to the hardy voyager.
No longer do we seek Immortality
in remote geography. No longer do
we look to the philosopher to give US
length of years. We have had revealed
to US the uselessness and the iniquity
of the colon, all too late to risk its
eXcision. We have been informed
that we do not really grow old; we
yield to arterio-sclerosis. Still we
have the hope that aging humanity
has always had. The years OF man
are the years of his colon and his
aorta. 4s
Now comes from Paris our latest
hope for the years declining. Modest

thinks only that he is nearer finding
it than any one before him. The tale
comes to us in the newer jargon, I'M

colysine which is to prolong our years
to a considerable extent. 1t is to dis
solve germs which in their activity
might wreck US; it is to give new
strength to the phagocytes which are
the devourers of our inner ills. In a
barbarous phrase it is to decuplize. to
multiply by ten. the power of our re
sisting agents.
AS we look back we can spare with
out regret the fountain of youth. AL
ways to be callow might not be an un
mixed blessing. But to keep forever

Mrs. Matte swartz Passed Beyond
This Morning After Severe
illness Of Number
Of Weeks.
WAS LIFE RESIDENT
Had Lived in keokuk More Than
Sixty Years, Making Her Home
on Exchange Street Dur
ing That Time.

Today the death of Mrs. Matte
Swartz is the cause for much sorrow
among the hundreds of friends of this
beloved christian woman, who died
early this morning, at 1920 o'clock in
Graham hospital. The passing of this
good woman has caused sudden grief
among many and though her illness
had been severe and her sufferings
intense, hopes for her recovery were
cherished by her immediate family
and soliciting friends.
During the past four months, Mrs.
Swartz had been confined to her bed
and on Tuesday afternoon it was
thought necessary to remove her to
Graham hospital where an operation
for appendicitis followed From the
shock of this and the enduring i'll
ness of weeks, chances for her re-
covery were lessened. Through it all
the deceased suffered with that chris
tian fortitude and forbearance which
has marked her long and useful life
which has ever been spent in happi-
ness.
The decedent was born October %,
1S49, at Sandusky, Iowa. Shortly af-
ter she removed to this city with her
parents and during almost her entire
life had resided on Exchange street,

Ply life at 1912 Exchange street, the
family residence. 1t was on Elk

wife of the late David Swartz, many
years ago. Here the children that
came to bless the union, were born
and reared to manhood and woman.

in citizenship. The late d. w. Swartz
passed away about five years ago, his
life and passing being we'll remem

/ Mrs Swartz was a woman whose ex

service of her Master, commanded
| deepest love and respect A devout
i faithful member of the First Christian
church of this city for many years
she was one of the foremost workers
in that house of worship and the va
cancy made by her in death will be
one which can never quite be filled.
A neighbor whose kindly deeds will
ever remain loved memory to those
who knew her best and visited will
her through the many years. She will
be greatly missed by all who knew
her. She was a member of Elmirs
