Appetite is just natural desire for
food Loss of appetite or stomach
distress after eating indicates indiges-

digest and assimilate that does you
good Some of the strongest, heav-
lest, and healthiest persons are mod
crate eaters.

more trouble than a disordered stom-
ach, and many people daily contract
serious maladies simply through dis
regard or abuse of the stomach.
We urge all in Keokuk who suffer

AAttorney Called Week Later.
Just one week after the woman's
visit Attorney Peter Fisher, represent
ing himself to be an attorney for the
late Charles w. Allen, called at the
office of Attorney Patterson and made
inquiries concerning the stock.
The Keolsuk lawyer claims to be at
sea regarding the matter. He declined
to disclose any further facts, but says
he has taken the matter up with an
attorney of Chicago who is making an
investigation.
The 100000 worth of stock is in
the Big Hill Fuel company of Lucas,
Iowa. Patterson says he has written
to Lucas about 1t and is of the con
clusion that it is almost worthless
/ The coal mines on which the stock
was issued is not being worked. The
company was organized in 1908.
Allen died in Chicago about month

WEST POINT COLT
SHOW WAS SUCCESS
Exhibition Held Saturday Proved
Good One Despite Bad Weather
Of the Day.

WEST POINT, Iowa, Oct. 23.-The
colt show held here Saturday was
grand success Although the weather
was unfavorable, cloudy and cold, the
show was attraction enough to bring
many farmers and horsemen to town
Horsemen from adjoining counties
were numerous. The attendance at
the fair grounds was large and from
the number Of teams hitched to the
railing around the park it looked as
il it was a county fair in progress.
There were AZ entries in the different
classes and while there is not time to
give the prize winners, the decision
OF the Judge met with general ap.
prevail
The management must be congrat
ulated on the success of the event as
lit was all that could be desired. Had
the show been held earlier in the
season there is no doubt but that the
attendance would have been doubled
The exhibit shows that all stock
men and farmers are very much in
terested in improving the breed Of
their horses, not only in the draft
class but roadsters as we'll
The colts shown here are credit
to any community, and now that the
colt show has started, it is but natur
al to suppose that they will be giver

what the writer has learned, arrange
ments are already started to give one
next year on much larger scale Lei
the good work go on, for the better
grade of horses the farmer raises the
more dollars will he have.

DIR. Jenkins, New at Wheel,
Lost Control of the
Machine.

When about two and one-half miles
east of Elvaston on the road to Car
thage Sunday afternoon, Ave passen-
ger automobile driven by DR.. George
f. jenkins of this city ran off of a
low bridge and upset. Five occupants
of the car escaped death OR even the
slightest Of injuries in most mir
aculous manner, the autos heavy top
keeping it from turning turtle. In the
car with DR.. jenkins were his daugh-
ter, Miss Catherine, Mrs. d. NJ. Lap
sley of Kahoka, Mo-. and DR.. and
Mrs. R. NJ Lapsley of Keokuk.
The accident was probably the re-
suit of DR.. jenkins ineXperience at
the wheel combined with a slight de-
sire for little real sport in the way
of passing his son-in-law, Hazen l..
SAWYER, who was some distance ahead
DR.. jenkins lost control of his car
while attempting to go around the adj
vanced auto. His machine swerved
from one side Of the road to the 9TH
er and then back, until it plunged oil
/ the low bridge. Just as soon as the
! forward outside wheel left the bridge
the automobile tilted, turning over on
| it's side and leaving the five occupants
| cooped in uninjured. Had the car
been without top 1t doubtless would
have turned completely over pinning
the passengers under its heavy frame
work.
1t was no easy matter for the VIC
tins of the mishap to extricate them
selves. They laboriously disentangled
one by one from the single mass OF
humanity and picked their way out
through all three of the exposed sides
of the car. Then they shook them
selves to see if any damage had been
done.
The car was damaged only slightly,
but was not run home. MIR. Ewing, a
farmer near whose home the accident
occurred, lent his assistance and the
car was put in his barn for the night.
In the auto with Mr.. Sawyer were

When stock Was Left Here.

Attorney Patterson says the stock
in question was deposited with him
more than a year ago by Homer e.
Baker, who represented himself to be
a promoter OF stocks of all kinds.
Patterson says he met Baker in Tulsa,
Oklahoma, and gave this reason for
later being entrusted with the stock.
While passing through Keokuk some
time later, according to the Keokuk
lawyer, Baker called at his office and
left the stock certificates. At the time
he said they were to be transferred
to Charles w. Allen the Kenosha
banker, but left word that he (Baker)
would return FOR them. Baker left
Keokuk for Chihuahua, Mexico, where
he had interests to be attended to be
fore the Mexican revolution Nothing
has been heard of Baker since, ac.
cording to Patterson.
One week ago last Friday an TIN
known woman called at Patterson's
office. She said she was Mrs Potter
and resided on the North Side, Chi
cago. Patterson claims she left nc
card and did not give her full name
She asked concerning the stock and
said that later she would have evi
