Boys Help Yourself

Fight your own battles. Hoe your
own row.. Ask no favors Of any one
and you'll succeed thousands times
better than anyone who is always be-
seeching some ones influence and pat
ronage. No one will every help you as
you can help yourself, because no one
will be 80 heartily interested in your
affairs. The first step will be a long
one, perhaps, but carving your own
way up the mountain you make each
one lead to another, and stand firm
while you chop still another out. Men
who have made fortunes are not those
who had $1,000 given to them TO start
with, but boys who have started fair
with we'll earned dollar or two.

Petition Asking That Calling From
After Supper TIL Dawn be Less
ened. WIN Probably
be Filed.
ALSO SALARY
Council Will be Approached With
Several Matters That Officers Be-
lieve Would Aid
Them.

The night police patrolmen, it is
understood from members OF the de
partment. will ask for a new regula-
ton requiring less calling of the sta
ton by telephone to report. AT pres
Ient, it is required of the officers to
report every half hour during the
might and day.
The police, especially night men,
state that on account OF the lengths
|of their beats, the half hour calling
during the twelve hours on duty is too
frequent 1nree-Quarters of an hour
after the first call, then half hour
and continuing thus or wise versa in
length of time between first and sec
ond and second and third calls would
be much more desirable, according to
the patrolmen.
Five Officers patrol the business
section of the city and the railroad
yards during the night. A sixth off
Ger is stationed in West Keokuk from
noon to midnight More attention
could be given to the alleys and other
places which make satisfactory Turk
ing places for tramps and thieves,
could the frequency of calls to the sta
ton be lessened, it is claimed.
Night officers in other cities receive
five dollars more, monthly than the
Keokuk after-dark guardians of the
peace. What position the patrolmen
would take in regard to the matter OF
advance in pay is not known but the
same has been talked of more or less
by the department.
One of the city commissioners has
been approached by several of the
night officers regarding the call mat
ter and the police advised to construct
petition which can be presented to
the council and action taken then

gestion but it actually does the digest
ing itself In other words it furnishes
exactly the same elements for the di-
gesfion of food as the natural juices
OF the stomach. The stomach, there
fore, is not called upon to do any of
the work except to churn the juices
furnished by the tablet and then push
the digested food along into the in
testines where it viii be still further
digested and the strength taken up
by the blood to be carried to the mus
Giles and nerves of the body.
So by taking Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablet after meal you give the stom-
ach the rest it needs in which to
mend itself and grow well again. And
you absolutely prevent the souring OF
any food, the formation of any poison
Gus gases. belching foul breath or
constipation.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have
done more for humanity and have
caused more rejoicing than any other
