Public Letter From MIR. Cooper
Water Power Engineer Wants to see keokuk Soon
the Road to the Position of a Great Civ.

To the Voters Of Keokuk
! am frequently assured by leading citizens that
the vote on next Monday will be strongly in favor of
the publicity measure well the franchise question
| do not wish to forward in these matters
but am so anxious for the publicity measure to have
great big overwhelming vote that urge those of you
who think as do on both these questions to be sure
and vote Monday without fail
These measures should receive the support of
everyone who wants to Keokuk on the road to
the position OF great city. The measures should
strongly appeal to workingmen who desire steady en-
poyment, and especially those having growing families
to participate IN the benefits that sensible growth in our
city will exhibit.
The success of both the publicity and the fran
chlse measures at Mondays election will go long way
toward achieving the best that have all wished for
and IN my opinion each is equal in Importance to the
other and either succeeding alone would be real

Health and Beauty Notes
BY MRS. MAE MARTIN

Edith: No, do not believe in dry
shampoos." If you were going to wash
your face, would you even think OF
rubbing powder on it? When you need
shampoo ask your hairdresser for a
canthrox shampoo or buy the canthroX
at any drug store and prepare the
shampoo at home by dissolying tea
spoonful of canthrox in a cup of hot
water. The cleansing lather of this
shampoo will remove the excess oil
and all dirt and dandruff from the
scalp pores. Your hair will rinse
easily and dry quickly. This is the
most beneficial shampoo l have ever
