+. P. Rehmeier Displays Only His
Own Work, Which is Artistic
and Beautiful.

Yearly, the public is coming to
realize the Importance of the photog-
rapher at the holiday season. Keokuk,
it can we'll be said is blessed" in the
respect of having finished artist in
that line-F. P. Rehmeier whose
studio is located at No. IL South Sixth
street. 1t is particularly fortunate that
Mr.. Rehmeier is in the city, perma-
nently located and giving splendid
satisfaction at this time of the year
for at no other time are the services
of finished photographer more
sought than at Christmas and New
Years. when the spirit of giving
possesses the earth.
Mr.. Rehmeier came here last May
from Kansas City, Mo-, and estab.
lished his business Since that time,
the fruits of his early and late labors
at turning out guaranteed work, in
describably beautiful to even the
most practiced eye, has served to es-
tablish the photographers name as
we'll as his studio.
Not as a matter of self lauding, but
of personal pride, it may be mention
ed timely here, that Mr.. Rehmeier
captured the Missouri state photog-
raphers prize at Excelsior Springs
some months ago. He has been engag
ed in Photographic work for the past
fifteen years, long enough for any
man to learn profession OF business
thoroughly. Six years of this time. Mr.
Rehmeier spent in the leading studio
of Missouri. Keokuk appealed to the
artist and he came here to stay. He
has not been disappointed and the
patrons who have come before the 70
Gus, are delighted.

The street roller plan probably has
caused more comment than anything
else and was the source of numerous
protests from property owners. This
was city council move Whether
Commissioner Schmidt advocated it

cost of new street work. On the other
hand when property owners street
improvement is finished his support
of the steam roller ends The cost of
the steam roller is not great deal,
being little more than So lot. If
new street work is ordered in front of
your house and you own 140 feet the
cost is about 81. When this sum has
been paid you fail to support the
steam roller proposition any longer
Under the old scheme the city paiG
for the rolling and the tax payer was
putting up just the same, but in diff
ferent manner.
The charge that street work has
been expensive is not altogether un.
expected. However, the cost has
been almost the same as in the past

somewhat and men are now being
paid So q day with but scattering ex-
amples, as against $1.75 several years
ago.
The department has accomplished
about three times as much in the way

fore.
| Some criticism has been offered be-
cause OF the failure to pave Blondeau
street from Fifth to Sixth, which would
! put the city to a heavy expense of
putting in intersections. It is argued
| that such move would be an addi-
tional drain on the city's fund in view
of the fact that an effort is being
made to make great financial show
ms.
In answer to this the department
| claims the street is good enough and
that in the first place 1t was not the
intention to pave from Fourth to
Fifth.
! Commissioner Schmidt cannot but
fall to make a good race for re-elec-
ton in the spring. Last year he was a
compromise candidate, otherwise he
might not have been elected He is
not man who is widely known in
the city outside the fifth and sixth
wards. There is no evidence that he
has gained unusual strength during
the past eighteen months, nor does
there seem to have been aroused any
great amount of formidable opposi-
ton. In short 1t appears that the fight
will not be on the department of pub
lie improvement in any concentrated
form. 1t does appear, though, that
Commissioner Schmidt will be carried
along in the election according to the
attitude of the people toward the adj
ministration in general. but he will
also receive his share in the scratch
ed ballots. Schmidt has executed well
the plans of the commissioners as a
triumvirate. If he has failed he has
failed in the council chamber and
there is no indication that he could
not have had what he wanted in the
way of conducting street work.

Health and Beauty Hints
BY MRS. MAE MARTYR

Maude S.: A made" complexion
never looks real, and If you continue
using cosmetics the skin will grow
rough and unsightly. Try spurmax To-
ton and I'm sure you will be delight
ed with results. Stir two teaspoons
full glycerine in one-half pint hot wa
ter. then add four ounces spur,nax.
When cool apply sparingly to face,
neck and arms and rub lightly until it
dries. The spurmax lotion is soothing
and healing, cleanses the skin of all
impurities and banisites the oily, sal.
low look. Use this lotion and you will
have complexion rivalling any made
by artificial means.
Mrs. Geo.: 1t is dangerous to dis
regard the laws of nature, and
unless you employ a system-tonic, you
may have run of sickness. l would
suggest making up the following old
time blood cleanser and taking a
tablespoonful three times daily: In a
half pint alcohol dissolve one-half cup
full sugar, then add one ounce kar-
dene and hot water to make quart.
This tonic will expel impurities from
the body, repair waste tissues and
restore lost appetite as well as give
you renewed strength and vigor.
NJ. o.: The only quick and sure way
to remove fuzz from the cheek is to
apply delatone paste. Let it remain
two or three minutes, then rub off,
wash the skin and the hairs are gone.
Only in rare instances is it necessary
to use the second application. Della.
tone costs dollar for an original
ounce package, but it is worth it to
rid the skin Of superfluous hair.
Mrs o.: Glasses at your age, pre-.
sumo are quite necessary. However
II you will get an ounce of crystos
and dissolve it in a pint of cold wa
ter and put two or three drops In
each eye every day, you can overcome
the soreness and redness. Keep ur
your simple treatment and before
long your eyes will take on youthful
sparkle and brilliancy and you will nc
longer be troubled with weak eyes.
Hope: Don't wreck your nervous
system by dieting, because by taking
ordinary parnotis, found in all drug
stores. you can reduce your weight te
where you want it and not suffer any

ton, having to stand only on the
merits of his service as an efficient
street commissioner, his reelection
could be predicted with as much GER
tainty as the nomination of President
Taft by the republican party is being
predicted by politicians the country
over at the present time. That Com
missioner Schmidt will be nominated
in the primaries, goes without saying.
But his reelection presents DIFF
ferent aspect.
OF all the departments under the
commission form of government, and
likewise under form of different
character that devoted to the streets
and public improvement strikes the
taxpayer nearer home than any other.
The taxes may be slightly raised to-
meet growing EXPENSE; property
may be given higher valuation; but
when it comes to matters pertaining
to the streets the people are ever
ready to express their opinions. In
majority of cases the opinions have
to do with street work in which they,
themselves, must share the burden of
expense. And thus is the cost of
street work brought right home to
them.
1t must be explained that while

No Place for Them on Towns Busi-
ness Streets.
The suggestion has been made that
while improvements to the side walks
are going on shade trees should be
set out along the curb around the
Green. This is not desirable. In the
first place twenty years ago there
was row of vigorous trees growing
along the north side of the Green
but as the walks We're paved and a
hard roadway put down the trees
went into decline and gradually
died. They were removed one by
one as they became an eye sore and
a menace to the passers-by. When
in their prime they were more of a
detriment than an advantage as the
falling leaves Uttered the streets, and
in the summer when in foliage so
shaded the buildings in front of whicl
they grew that artificial light was re-
quired on cloudy days. The trees in
front of the Miller building on South
street set out ten years ago show but
a slow and struggling growth because
of the lack of moisture in consequence
of the hard paving of sidewalk and
roadway.
