in Food
FEEL RIGHT
When You Feed Right.

You know one always feels very
fit" when the head and nerves swing
along peacefully and with that GER
tain sense Of power that Is unm1s-
takeable.
But when overwork or anxiety
breaks down the soft gray matter in
the brain and nerve cells (anxiety
will do 1t quicker than overwork)
faster than the food you have been
using replaces 1t, then to save your
self from that horror Of darkness,
nervous prostration, you must change
food and take on some sure rebuilder.
That's the mission of Grape-Nuts,
made OF the selected parts of wheat
and barley containing the natural
Phosphate of Potash which combines
with Albumen in the human body
and makes the soft gray filling of the
brain and nerve centers.
Another thing to be considered is
that Grape-Nuts is "processed" in
making and the starchy parts con-
verted into a form Of sugar, exactly
as the process of digestion in the
body. So Grape-Nuts has really pass
ed the first act of digestion and there
fore the food is quickly assimilated in
the most perfect manner by babe or
athlete.

Regular Meeting Last
Evening.

full Lines.

Montrose is to be made the Venice
along the Mississippi river. The small
southeastern Iowa town is to be beau
tilted by the Mississippi River Power
Company until 1t overshadows cities
much larger in size for miles up and
down the great Father of Waters. And
this is all to be brought about-at
least the water power company says
so-because the councilmen met in
regular session last night and stepped
into line with the general progress
that is being shown by cities tangent
to the big dam.
At the council meeting last night the
aldermen drew up and passed lengthy
resolutions, grating requests of the
Mississippi River Power Company to
vacate certain streets affected by the
new water level.
BY the resolutions the company is
given right to overflow the streets
and to relocate the Burlington rail-
road. In return for this it will build
two new bridges across Horton 8
creek and one across Jack creek and
will materially improve the water
front
Montrose will be greatly benefited
by the work the company has planned
In the way Of river front improvement.
A wharf 46s feet long with front OF
rip-rap is to supplant the old muddy
landing place that has been used for
years. The general plans for recon
struction will do much for the town,
which will benefit greatly by granting
these requests instead of necessitating
litigation on the part of the water pow
er company

It Is Necessary for keokuk Shippers
to Learn Situation Before Sue
cessful Action Can
Be Taken.
DEWITT MAKES TOUR
Industrial Agent VIII Visit a Mum.
Der Of Cities for the Pur
pose Of Learning What
They Are Doing.

Inat Keokuk should come into clos
er touch with the present situation re-
garding freight rates over the state
and the attitude Of Iowa cities as we'll
as what specific action they are now
engaged in, was the opinion Of local
shippers who met at the Riverview
club last evening for the purpose Of
hearing report on the conference
held last week between an Industrial
Association committee and railroad Of
ficials of the Chicago. Burlington &
Quincy and the Wabash.
1t was asserted that Keokuk has
dealt with the rate problem somewhat
blindly in the past At the present
time no one is thoroughly familiar
with the situation; they do not know
what action the upper river cities are
taking, nor are they in touch with the
charges that have been filed with the
interstate commerce commission at
Washington. Whether Keokuk should
ally herself with other Iowa cities in
the action that is being taken Is some
thing to be determined.
With this in view Industrial Agent
Dewitt will make trip to number
of Iowa cities in the near future and
it is expected he will return to Keo-
kuk with the situation so well In hand
that the proper action can be taken.
The discussion last evening was gen.
eral and everyone present INDUCED in
it. Those at the meeting were D.

w. Wills, W. N. Sage, Hugh L. Coop

Rate Experts at Des Moines.
DES MONIES, Iowa, Sept. 26.-Nine
freight rate experts set to work In
the office of the state board of rail
road commissioners to prepare the
brief that will be submitted to the
supreme court of the United States in
an effort to secure reversal of the
decision of Judge Walter /. Sanborn
in the famous Minnesota rate case.
Representatives of seven state
boards of railway commissioners will
assist in the work, which will be
carried forward in Des Moines during
the next ten days.
The members of the committee
reached Des Moines this morning
from st. Paul, where conference was
held Saturday with former Attorney
General Young and Judge O'Brien
relative to the case.
The various state boards Of rail
way commissioners take the same
view of Judge Sanborn's decision as
was taken by the recent congress OF
governors at Spring Lake. They hold
that all state boards of commission
ers will be put out of business If the
! decision is sustained. The commits
sioners assert that their power re
garding the making of rates is taken
away from them completely.

n newspapers have been I'M
II usually crowded with the
stories of women who have
had thrust upon them, notoriety of
most undesirable sort.
There are two only that will be
discussed here: one is the girl-wo-
man connected with the murder case
which has just been closed in Virgin
ia; the other was a seventeen year
old girl, whose body was found
floating in lake in North Carolina.
The girl in the first case is to be
pitied by every normal man and wo-
man in the land She was what she
was, not by choice, but by birth and
actual training. The daughter of a
common woman, left to grow as best
she might until her attractiveness
could be made an asset in the bust
ness the mother followed, before she
was fifteen, she knew all of the sor-
did and none of the beauty of
life.
So notorious has she become since
the closing of the trial, her services
are not desired at any place where
her identity is known, and the men
who had made Contracts with her,
because Of the notoriety, are virtu-
ously declaring that they will have
none of her, and she is cast into the
outer darkness because of her past.
The other case, that of the little
North Carolina girl, is vastly differ
ent, but the tragedy is even more hor-
rible; the daughter of Well-to-dO
parents, in home where every COM
fort, many Injuries and all that
affectionate interest from a devoted
family could give, this little girl
had drunk so deeply of the cup Of
knowledge that, at seventeen years
she was about to become the mother
of a child, and her parents knew
nothing Of the father.
These two cases are only two, taken
from the daily tragedies that are I'M
folded before the eyes of all who
read the daily papers.
What is the answer to the query:
"Why?"
Even those of us who are only just
past our first youth can remember
when life was different.
There were tragedies such as these,
it is true, but they were rare, and the
horror of them, somehow seemed so
great as to almost make them I'M
belieyable.
But it may be the answer is not so
hard, and comes almost with the re-
collection of the attitude Of our elders
toward the tragedies, once they were
made public.
It is an awful arrangement to make,
but it is true, while not all mothers
are of the Binford stripe, when their
daughters are the victims of TRACE
DIV, but to mothers may be largely
laid the blame for them.
While women have advanced along
SO many lines, they have been null
ishly stubborn on some matters that
mean vastly more than scientific man
agement of anything, suffrage, or
higher education.
Daughters are as blindly ignorant
of the vital things of life as they
were fifty years ago.
With the promiscuous meeting Of
young men and young women that is
universal now; with the style of
dress which the women follow; with
opportunity to rouse all that is worst
in a mans it any wonder so many
girls fall easy victims?
And North Cardinals tragedy is
repeated almost every day.

daughters-why is it you will be SO
