Troubles never come singly and the
Rev. Ja5per Sterling, pastor Of the
second Unity church OF Keokuk is
having more 'han his share of hard
luck at present. Three weeks ago,
his little son was blown to pieces by
over Indulgence in soda water and
when the beloved pastor returned yes
terday morning from Wichita, Kas.,
where he haG been with the family on
a visit, fate again stared him in the
face.
After the burial of his son, the
Sterling family went to Wichita for a
visit with relatives and before depart
Ing, the parsonage on Cooper street,
was carefully locked up. In fact, too
carefully locked up.
The Sterling bungalow is of ce-
ment and IL one of the new houses re-
Gently erected in that part of the city.
Before the family departed, every
door and window was carefully closed
and locked because of the many petty
burglaries which had taken place in
that vicinity The extremely hot
weather of the past few days,
caused the gum in the woodwork of
the doors and windows to run and this
virtually caulked up thu house and
made 1t air tight.
Imagine then what would result il
the gas meter under the kitchen sink
would break and the house become
filled with gas.
When kev. Sterling arrived at his
home Yesterday afternoon, the house
was suspended, thirty feet in the air
being filed with gas and rising from
it, foundation like a balloon. The
lead pipes have stretched and the
house remains high in the air, sway
ing at the end Of the pipe like cap
tive airship.
Just enough gas is pouring in all
OF the time to keep the house suspend
ed and Just enough of it is escaping
out OF the chimney to keep the house
from sailing away clear out of sight
Workmen began this morning plac

after this is erected, the gas will be
shut off and the house lowered to its
foundation. If the gas was cut of
suddenly, the house would fall with 8
crash and be wrecked, but 1t is
thought that if care is taken, the lit

original site without any damage.
A lawsuit will result, for the gar
company has given notice that 1t must
be paid for the gas and the minister
has given notice that he will expect
the company to pay for putting his
house back where it belongs.

The good people of Sandusky have
solved problem by the raising of

gave a chicken supper in Carriers
Grove, at which the first specimens
were served
For some time, one of the promin-

he finally succeeded. He began with
tho egg and carefully investigated
eggs under microscope until he
found out just what part of an egg
contained the neck. Then he remov-

placed the eggs back under an old
hen who Matched out flock of neck
less chickens These, in turn, laid
reckless chicken eggs and now the
farmer has a brood of several hun
dred chickens which are devoid of
necks.
The birds are rather peculiar look

are very delicious when fried and the
farmer is having no trouble in dis

He is now working on a scheme to

Isn't Over
HAVE YOU EVEN TAKEN CALoMEL.
Next Time don't Do 1t, It's Dangerous.
Try DOdsOn's Liver Tone Instead.
It's Safe

You ought to know what a dangerous
and uncertain drug the chemical, cal
omel, is. Perhaps you know several
people who have been salivated by
what they thought was a very light
dose OF calomel.
Next time you have an attack Of
biliousness, or when your liver has
gotteen sluggish, come to the Conrt
Pharmacy and ask for a bottle of Dod-
sons Liver Tone. You will find it a
pleasant tasted liquid and a perfect
substitute for calomel in every respect
and without the dangerous after effects
of calomel.
Dodson's Liver Tone gives the liver
just the amount of gentle stimula ton
it needs to induce it to do its work
properly and thoroughly The Court
Pharmacy Will give you your money
back any time Dodson's Liver Tone
fails to prove itself perfect sub
stitute for calomel
