who can't get away from your pimples,
and you have tried almost everything
under heaven to get rid of them, take
a few of Stuart's Calcium Waters

days, and in less than week look at
yourself in the mirror.

cium Waters are a ,nder in getting
rid Of the eruptions

tain the most effective blood purifier

whether pimples, blotches, blackheads,

How A Water Power Bill Passed
Story Never Before Published Of Some Secret
History Of Getting the BigsDam Authorized

through the Des Moines rapids canal
locks, was not cpntradicted BY the
secretary of that company; it looked
like Dubuque as about to lose the
biggest manufacturing plant ia iowa
and hundreds of families Of its work
men; toll the bells. but fight to a fin
lsh for the lifeblood Of Dubuque. The
papers of the city up the river vail
ed that dirge for week, and evil
IDENTITY Dubuque was scared to death.
Then the Dubuque reporters made
a ten-strike. Charles p. Birge, a
lobber, VIM Logan, a. banker and
James G. Davis, an attorney. happen
ed into Dubuque. They told the hotel
reporters that their business was
purely personal and concerning a col
lection-at least that is what got in
to the brains of those reporters.
Suggestion, OF Salvation.
But one bright reporter embraced
the opportunity to inquire about those
blankety-blank locks in the canal at
keokuk which were about to ruin
Dubuque. Yes; Messers. Birge, Logan
and Davis knew little about the
locks; they were nuisance general
ly;; but if Keokuk succeeded in its
| plans, the whole canal would be flood.
ed under thirty feet of water by a
big dam. -
The bright reporters seized the
point. Editorial writer's explained it
| again and again. Managing editors
played it up as: the biggest thing in
the world, for it meant the salvation
of manufacturing Dubuque. The mod
est secretary of the Iowa Iron works
suavely admitted in an interview that
the building of the Keokuk dam would
retain their plant at Dubuque. That
| city actually became more anxious for
the dam to be built than Keokuk was
and the papers there contained ten
times as much as the Keokuk papers
about the project. Ali Dubuque was
in the saddle.
The Real Objective Won.
And in Dubuque lived Senator Alli-
son and Speaker Henderson. The
former was member of the big Six
FIN control of the senate; the speaker's
control of the house has become pro-
verbal. II the Keokuk dam fran
chise bill had not passed congress,
10th these eminent statesmen would
have been compelled to move out
of Dubuque where they liked to live
4 That bill granting the requested
rights to the Keokuk and Hamilton
Water Power company went through
congress like creased pig through
hole in the fence.
And Birge, Logan and Davis never
cracked smile. They paid their owr
expenses on that trip to Dubuque
ostensibly to make that collection.
