Detective Gets Early
Start Ma1ette Doesn't

Detective Sergeant Pat OBrien believes
the early bird gets the worm. Arthur C.
Malette, cosmopolite, of Ell Paso, Tex. ;
Pittsburg, and numerous other places,
believes the early worm gets caught.
Both are right.
Instead of leaving Washington late
last night, as his first impulses told him,
Malette put 1t off until early this morn
Ing and got caught. Instead of waiting
until he had answered roll call at head
quarters and then going after Malette,
Detective o'Brien went after his man
early-before bred fast-and got him.
Malette was wanted on a charge of
passing alleged worthless checks. The
manager of the La Normandie Hotel
made the complaint. He sent word to
headquarters that he wanted a detective.
o. Brien was notified, with the result
that Malette will appear in Police Court
tomorrow morning.

Senate Will Soon Begin
Holding Night Sessions

Night sessions are just ahead In the
Senate. The average Senator does not
like night sessions. This Is especially
true OF the veterans. 1t keeps them
up late, and wears them out, and they
hate to resort to them unless absolute
ly reedfnl. Moreover, the night ses-
sion cuts off any opportunity for going
to dinners and otherwise enjoying any
of the social side Of life.
But things have reached a pass In
the Senate where night sessions must
be held to pass the appropriation bills.
The leaders have. therefore, decided

POWERFUL ALLIANCE FORMED.
Editors and Druggists Of Nation Join
Hands in Movement to Combat
Medicine Trust With Prac-
ticaI Methods.

Much interest is being manifest
ed throughout the country over an
organization which has recently
been formed, its avowed purpose
being to fight the patent medicine
trust. 1t is matter OF common
knowledge that for many years these
gigantic corporations have been vic
timizing the people with nostrums Of
every conceivable kind, compounded
with little regard for their contents
or for the public health. They have
been made to sell, and in glaring adj
vertisements these concerns have told
the people that their preparations
would prove the true panacea for
every ILL.,
Just such methods as this have
finally attracted the attention of con-
gress and the state legislatures, and
the result has been a nationwide
movement for legislation for pure
foods, pure medicines, etc. But this
legislation has not struck at the root
of the matter. These big medicine
concerns, which have grown fabu-
! lousy rich at the expense of the
people, through charging them enor-
nous prices for the cheapest kind of
medicines, are the concerns which the
editors and druggists are after.
The movement includes the or
ganization of a mutual association
OF editors and druggist who man
ufacture and sell throughout the
country thoroughly reliable medicines
and cosmetics in every day use, prep
arations that are sold at an honest
value, have honest merit, and have
behind them the recommendation and
guarantee of the druggists, editors
and physicians OF the nation. Com
petent pharmacists and dispensing
chemists of long experience and rec
ognized ability have been at work
upon the various preparations for sew
eral years; hundreds of formulas have
been gathered from druggists and
chemists in all parts of the country,
and the very best and most dependable
of each have finally been tested by
expert chemists and adopted by the
association. These. known as the
Meritol Preparations, will be widely
advertised, In order that the people
may be thoroughly posted as to their
relative merits in comparison with pro
ducts OF the trust.
1 The editor of this paper has join
ed the association and recommends
! the Merisol Preparations to the peo
ple of this vicinity, as have also The
| City Drug Store, the leading druggists
of Keol,uk. who have the exclusive
sale of these goods in this place.

STOMACH SUFFERERS
sQUANDER MILLIONS
IN SEARCH OF RELIEF
Trial Package of stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets Free.

The world is full OF disordered
stomachs and 80 per cent of the mon
ey spent upon physicians and drugs
goes in an attempt to cure the stom-
ach.
People are made TO believe that in
order to gain health they must doctor
their stomachs and use cathartics. SO
the doctor gets his fee for the stom-
ach treatment and the druggist for the
physic, until the savings of a life llme
are exhausted and yet no cure.
Let's be reasonable.
The sick stomach is in every case
the result of over-eating, hurried mas
tication and improper choice OF foods.
The mucous lining all the way down
the food tract loses its sensitiveness,
and when food is forced down the
muscles fail to respond. They do not
churn the food as they should. The
glands no longer give out gastric
Juice to dissolve the food and render
it capable of assimilation. The man
has become a dyspeptfc.
There is one sure way and only one
to bring positive relief. Put into that
stomach of yours the very elements
that it lacks to get that food into
liquid form. 1t takes pepsin, diastase.
golden seal and other ferments to ac-
complsh this. The healthy stomach
contains these elements. The dys-
peptic stomach lacks part OF all of
them. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet Is
made up Of just what the dyspeptic
stomach lacks--nature's digestives.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are not
medicine. not drug, not cathar-
tic. They do not cure anybody of any
thing but Dyspepsia and Indigestion
and such ailments as arise from poor
ly digested food
While they digest the food the
stomach recuperates. The mucous
membrane is coming out of its stupor.
the gastric juice is coming to the
surface, the muscles are regaining
their power. Every organ of the body
takes on new life. the skin gains
color, and the eyes are no longer
tlnged with yellow. You live.
Why doctor and why drug your
self? Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
take care Of your food while Nature
cures you.

HAMILTON. I" Jan G.. During
the recent severely cold weather there
was no pause in the work that is in
progress on the east end of the great
dam that is being constructed by the
Keokuk and Ham lton Water Power
company. Hundreds of men continue
in zero weather to excayate and fill
In on the Illinois side, and even to
pour concrete for the Illinois ap-
proaches of the great structure.
In the meantime it is said. agents
OF the company are busy getting op-
tons and rights of way for the great
conduits that will carry the power as
far as ST Louis, where sixty thousand
horsepower of electrical energy an
nually has already been contracted for.
The conduit will likely extend down
the Illinois size and will pass through
Quincy.

Already Booming Town.

The determined work in progress,
the carloads of machinery now on the
tracks costing hundreds of thousands
of dollars, and the fact that the water
power company has obtained options
on large part OF what is known as
the bottom lands of the old town,
have caused !. amilton to .njoy a
boom. But despite the prospects,
realty values have not been pressed
to inordinate figures, and the conse-
quences of liberal conservatism have
been the addition of two or three new
factory projects withon the past few
days. The location of these enter
prises in Hamilton has caused some
heart-burning in Keokuk, where prop
erty values have been pushed upward
to such degree as to shut out pros
pective enterprise and to cause a
large number Of empty business build
ings. 1t is believed, however, by the
Keokuk people that conditions will SO
adjust themselves, because of the
great advantages to be derived when
the dam is completed, as to overcome
the temporary loss. in. the meanwhile
