). orvlIle Reese Of Dodss's Theatre
successfully Ncgotlatcs to Have
US Placed Before
the World.

Through the successful business ar
raneement of d. Orville Reese, of
Keokllk with the S. & A. Moving Pic
tnre Film company of Chicago, Keo-
Ink will be placed in less than two
months time, before all the large
cities of the United States and the
prominent municipalities Of Europe,
as the great water power metropolis
Of the world.
Two weeks ago MIR Reese, who is
tho we'll known and popular vocalist
IT the Douge theatre, held consulta-
zion with the senior partner, Geo. X.
spor and other officials OF the S. & A.
company in their Chicago offices and
with the use of Keokuk views, in
Guiding daguerrotypes of the works at
nresent on the Iowa and Illinois cam
sites, supplemented by thoroughly
convincing talk, Mr.. Reese was per-
mitted to successfully close the deal.
This morning a Mr. zech, repre-
sentative of the IS. & "A. company,
arrived in Keokuk and was busy to-
dav taking an inventory, of local
topography with a view. to getting
ready and securing best sites from
which TO take views of not only the
dam works. but photographs in the
city which will be used in the thous-
and feet of films which will be re-
leased.
1t is expected that after securing
his picture negatives, it will take
some six weeks to complete the reel
, set Of Keokuk pictures. On the first
release, however, Keokuk Will see the
picture as they will be shown in. the
Dodge theatre Immediately and at the
same time as in Chicago and the
other metropolis.
The s. & "A. company is recognized
the finest scenic picture producing
house in the world and the wonderful
value in advertising which keokuk
will obtain from the use of the films
70 be made, is hardly conceivable.
To Manager Chas. S. Abel of the
Dodge theatre, is due credit for first
thought of the enterprise and Keokuk
will benefit Immediately from the
project of which few other cities of
the world can boast having negotiated
for.
Mr. Reese was formerly connected
with the, S. & A. company and was
thought by MIR. Abel to be the best
agent and advocate to meet the Chi
cago film company officials in their
Offices.

A conscientious, hard-working and
successful clergyman writes: Il am
glad to bear testimony to the pleasure
and increased measure of efficiency
and health that have come to me from
adopting Grape-Nuts food as one OF
my articles of diet.

Having heard of Grape-Nuts food,
finally concluded to give it a trial. I
made my breakfasts OF Grape-Nuts
with cream, toast and Postum. The re-
suit was surprising in improved health
and total absence of the distress that
had, for SO long time, followed the
morning meal.
MY digestion became once more
satisfactory, the headaches ceased, and
the old feeling of energy returned.
Since that time l have always had

whereas before l began to use Grape
Nuts food I was quite nervous and be-
came easily wearied in the work OF
preparing sermons and in study. a
marked improvement in this respect
resulted from the change in my diet.
Il am convinced that GrapeNuts
food produced this result and helped
me to a sturdy condition OF mental
and physical strength.

who were formerly troubled as l was.

Sgnor Pucinni, celebrated for his
operas. is still young man. On the
subject of his early success the 1tal-
ian composer said recently in New
York:
81 have been very lucky. Recogni-
ton for artistic work comes so often
after one is too old to enjoy it.
Il remember one of my country
men, a centenarian, who, had he died
before 20 would never have seen any
of his operas produced. Luckily he
lived to so great an age that he re-
ceived for many years the admiration
he deserved. Naturally enough, though
this splendid artist regretted his
years of obscurity and neglect and he
frequently spoke bitterly of his bad
fortune.
"Once at the very end of his long
life an Englishman entered his box at
the opera in Rome, and said, respect

SCALP WAS BADLY AFFECTED

II am more than gratified by the
successful results l obtained by the
use of the Cuticura Remedies. For
several years my scalp was very bad
ly affected with dandruff and scales.
My scalp itched terribly at times and
my hair fell out My coat collar would
be actually white with the dandruff
that had fallen from my head. My
profession being that of a barber,
was particular about having my hair
in good condition, and was also in a
position to try many lotions, ETC., for
the scalp. These had little or no eff
feet. l had heard so much about the
Cuticura Remedies that l resolved to
try them. l shampooed my head
with Cuticura Soap twice a week and
after drying my head thoroughly,
anointed parts Of my scalp. with Cuti-
cura Ointment. l was pleased from
the outset, and continued to keep up
this treatment To think that only
three cakes of Cuticura Soap and one
and one-half boxes of Cuticura Oint-
ment rid my head of this annoying
trouble made me feel quite contented.
I have now got thick growth of hair
and I am never troubled with any
dandruff or itching of the scalp There
is no question but that the Cuticura
Remedies cured me. I frequently
recommend them to my customers,
and they think a great deal of them"
