CONCRETE PAVING.

Local experts agree that whatever
street paving is done in Keokuk in
future should be done with concrete
This form OF paving is cheaper than
brick or asphalt and has been found
satisfactory wherever used. Expert
ence has demonstrated that it can be
put down in Iowa cities for si10 TO
s1.40 per square yard, whereas until
quite recently prevailing prices for
brick and asphalt have lowered
around 81 per yard Owing TO the
competition of concrete the prices OF
other kinds of paving have come down.
Last week q contract was let in Des
Moines for asphalt paving al s1s5 per
square yard, and there is talk that the
price may decline in the near future
TO s1.50 Even with brick or asphalt
at this latter figure concrete is cheap
er, and those who are informed con
corning its merits claim that it is
preferable On other accounts In any
event II is the consensus of the best
opinion that concrete should be given
a full and fair trial In Keokuk next
year.

HOW TO DRAG A ROAD.

D. Ward King, the inventor of the
road drag and therefore an authority
on the subject. told In recent ad-
dregs just when and how to drag a
road TO get the best results. Some
of the points he made are worth re
membering:
A two horse drag is better than a
four horse drag.
A light drag is better than heavy
drag.
Drag the roads when the surface is
wet but not sticky
Never drag weeds and grass from
the side OF the road into the middle.
Fill mud holes with mud.
The use Of a grader Is not neces-
sary
A constant use Of the drag will
make the proper grade.
There is no use of digging trenches
at the side Of the road. AS the pro
per grade is made, the trenches will
take care of Themselves.
These things are easily understood
and entirely practicable. AS road
dragging is now compulsory in this
state all interested should inform
themselves concerning the modu.

Apples As Medicine.

Economically the apple is composed
of fiber, albumen, sugar, gum, malic
acid, GALLO acid, lime and much water.
Furthermore, the German analysts
say that the apple contains larger
percentage of phosphorus than any
other fruit or vegetable says a physi-
clan. The. phosphorus is admirably
adapted for renewing the essential
nervous matter, lecithin of the brain
and spinal cord.
For people of sedentary habits,
whose livers are sluggish in action,
the acids of the apple serve to elimi-
nate from the body noxious matters
which, If retained, would make the
brain heavy and dull, or bring about
iaundice or skin eruptions, and other
allied troubles Some such an exper
fence must have led TO our custom
of taking apple sauce with roast pork
rich goose and like dishes.
The malic acid of ripe apples, either
raw or cooked, will neutralize any ex
cess CT chalky matter engendered by
eating too much meat. 1t is also a
fact that such fresh fruits as the ap
ple. the pear and the plum, when tax
O., ripe and without sugar, diminish
acidity in the stomach rather thar
provoke it. Their vegetable salts and
iuices are converted into alkaline car
Donates, which tend to counterac'
acidity.

sued an order that those desiring to
practice medicine and surgery in the
Panama canal zone must obtain a IL

YOU are getting your moneys worth,
and so you are, according to some
standards. But the man who gets all
the wear he wants out of garment
and then gives it to the Associated
Charities to be given some shivering
haIf-naked wretch in November, Is
getting a return for his money that
cannot be calculated in figures. It is
an indescribable feeling Of satisfac-
ton that is even better than the
crinkle of roll OF fresh bills in your
hand. Instead OF worrying about how
you are going to keep the treasure
you have acquired you are inspired
with desire to get rid Of moro things
for the benefit of suffering fellow
men who have not had your opportun-
lily to provide for themselves and
their families.

Iowa paIlies for Iowa Readers.

Dubuque telegraph Herald: There
are not many newspapers in Iowa,
either daily or weekly, but could pro-
claim independence of local advertis-
ers and make as much or more mon
ey by accepting the advertising OF
mail-order houses.
What restraints the newspapers is
a neighborly feeling for their own
townspeople and a preference for
serving them as against those who
have no sentimental interest in the
town, who pay no taxes there and
whose consideration for it is measur-
ed by what they get out Of it.
What the big department stores
with mail-order departments and
purely mail-order houses are unable
to accomplish through the Iowa press
they are seeking to accomplish
through metropolitan newspapers.
Give us an Iowa circulation" they
are saying, "and we will give you the
advertising at rates more than com
pensatory to you"
In consequence effort is bein:
made to flood Iowa with Chicago pa
pers, sold at less than the cost OF
