Honest Medicine Versus Fakes

President Taft's recent message sug-
costing an amendment to the Pure
Food and Drugs law in it's relation to
Prepared Medicines, does not refer to
such standard medicines as Foley's
Honey and Tar Compound and Foley
Kidney Pills, both of which are true
medicines carefully compounded of
ingredients whose medicinal qualities
are recognized by the medical profess
sion itself as the best known remed-
ial agents for the disease they are
intended to counteract. For ov-
err three decades Foleys Honey
and Tar Compound has been
standard remedy for coughs,
colds and affections of the throat,
chest and lungs for children and for
grown persons, and it retains today
it's pre-eminence above all other prep
arations of its kind Foley Kidney
Pills are equally effective and merit
orious. Wilkinson & Co. RI

The Widows and Twins.

G. l.. Becker, who took the school
census, listed 1868 persons between
the ages Of five and twenty-one in the
district, which is one less than last
Year. There are 1923 more girls than
boys in Keokuk, the boys numbering
1,766 and the girls, 1887, excluding
the married people of school age.
There are seven young men and forty
eight girls under twenty-one years o..
who are married There are 1876 boys
and 79S girls between seven and four
teen years old, all Of whom attended
school last year, according to the
census report.
With taste for statistics beyond
the requirements of the law, Enumer-
ator Becker ascertained that eighty
nine families moved to town, and
ninety-three families moved away
from Keokuk during the year ending
June 1 This does not consider I'M
married persons, not heads of families.
During the last year. eighteen
pairs of twins reached school age, as
compared with twenty-five pairs for
the preceding year, indicating that
five years ago there was sharp de-
cline in the twin crop. This year the
enumerator found 215 widows in Keo-
kuk, as against 245 widows year
ago whether the thirty widows mar
ried or moved away does not appear

Whether it will sor not, nobody

past month as compiled by Observer
Gosewisch. May broke the dry rec
ord and equa1fed the heat record for
that month, but June goes 1t one bet
ter by breaking both the heat and dry
records for forty years.
The mean temperature for June was
10 degrees which is just one degree
hotter than June of 1873, which held
the record up to this year.
The total precipitation for June was
,65, the first time in forty years that
there has been less than an inch of
rain during the month.
With nine thunder storms during
the month there was not enough rain
TO soak school sponge. According
to the records there were 16 clear
days 10 partly cloudy days and one
cloudy day with thunder storms on the
5, 6, s, 10, 16, II, %, "a and 26.
The only real rain came on the
oath, when .55 inches fell, almost all
that fell during the month.
The hottest day was the 10th. when
the mercury reached 101 which is a
June record. The coolest day was
the 2Sth, at So.
There were sixteen days when the
mercury passed the ninety mark. and
that's going some for gentle June.
Probably nobody but the weather
man knows what it means, but his re
port says that the mean atmospheric
pressure. reduced to sea level during
June was 1898. That probably caused

cided to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
Not until I commenced using Cuticura

Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has as much

use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment he was
entirely cured. don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our baby.
Before we used the Cuticura Remedies
we could hardly look at him, he was such

MUST USE CASCARETS
What Glasses Are to Weak

Bowels ld People Need
Them and the Need
Is Only Natural.

You old people-Cascarets are par
ticularly for you. o who don't ex-
ercise as much as you need to. You
who like the easy chair. You whose
steps are slow, and whose muscles are
less elastic. You must realize that
your bowels have also become less
active.
Don't regard Cascarets as physic.
They stimulate the bowels just as some
foods will do; just as exercise would
do, If you took enough Of 1t. They are
not harsh, like salts and c~athartics,
The help which they give to weak
bowels Is just as natural and gentle as
the spun of youth.
When yes grow dim, you help them.
Dc the same with the. bowels when age
makes them less active. There is
nothing more important. Costive bowels
mean the decaying God is clogged
there. And the ducts of the bowels
suck its p~oisons into the blood. You
can't feel well until his is corrected.
But do 1t gently-not with a bowel
irritant. And do 1t regularly-one

The china closet is extra large,
standing out in the row of china closets
displayed at the Baurnann store be-
cause of its generous proportions. It
has a swell-front door and swell ends,
all of glass, with a mirror back to re
fleet the splendor of silver, china or
