Local Patriotism.

It is singular how so many people
will yell themselves hoarse roofing
for the home BAH team, who would
not give a dollar to establish new
industry here, nor would they bother
to suggest to friends contemplating a
removal that this would be a good
town to live in.
The intense partisanship manifest
ed In any athletic sports in behalf of
the home players indicates large
sentiment of home loyalty. 1t Is an
unseifsh sentiment, excellent SO far
as it goes The men on the bleachers
do not get nickel addition to their
wages because home boys win.
or course in some cases the cheer
ing men may have money on the
game. Yet our observation is that
the better is too worried to cheer.
It is the man who wants the home
team to win from simple home loyalty
that makes the noise.
Why is it that this most commend.
able sentiment is so Astounding under
such circumstances, and SO lacking
when there liz still more vital need
for it's expression?
The cities that have grown popu.
lous, powerful, wealthy, that have be
come great centers OF industrial life
and cherished locations for residence
have become SO because some small
group of men loved the soil of those
/ localities, longed to have them true &c
high ideals, had faith In their future
had the self sacrifice to keep pulling
all the time for business and civic ad
vance. And they had no time OF
breath to spend in mere criticism.
The handspring OF this action is 8
home patriotism differing only from
that Of the crowd at the ball game IL

WHAT'S THE REASON?
Many Keokuk People in Poor Health
Without Knowing the Cause.

There are scores OF people who
drag out a miserable existence with
out realizing the cause of their suf-
fering. Day after day they are racked
with backache and headache; suffer
from nervousness, dizziness, weak
ness, languor and depression. Likely
the kidneys have fallen behind in
their work OF filtering the blood and
that is the root of the trouble. LOOK
to your kidneys, assist them in their
work-give them the help they need.
You can use no better remedy than
Doan's Kidney Pills endorsed by ov-
er one hundred thousand people, and

Washington Wiley, the leading figure
in the food and drink controversy,

to that of science, and became in due
time a professor of chemistry In

quite busy ever since, as his enemies

upon its last week Sunday. DR.. Rod
gers will deliver a course of lectures
at O'Clock each afternoon and each

The Gift of Life" was the subject
Of the sermon Friday night. The text
was found in John MO Il am como
that they might have life" This qucs-
tioi of life is of supreme Importance.
First, What is life No one can an
sWer that question, scientis. go every
where seeking to find life, but il defies
definition and escapes discovery. Now.
spiritual life is as mysterious as physi-
cal life TIE wind bloweth when it
rleases but you cannot tell where it
comes from, so is every one horn of
the spirit. Perhaps it will help us if
We state what spiritual life is not. 1t
is not norality: il is not religious
proposition; il is not conviction of
sins: it is not feeling. The spiritual
life begins when a man becomes con-
scons that he is a sinner; Wfen this
mar confesses he is 81 sinner; Whrn
this man 'urns from sin. this man
seeing his sin. confessing his sin and
forsaking his sin finds life. He enters
into life spiritual life. One other
thing enters into tie Christian life
Faith. Now, what is faith? Let me
illustrate. Tako each letter of this
word ana make "A new word FOR
sake ALL / take Him" How many
of you will forsdke all and take Christ?
Nine persons accepted this invita-
ton. Sunday two meetings will be
held at 1880 A. NJ. and 80 p. NJ.

has been organized. some 60 voices.
