CLIMATE FAILED:
MEDICINE EFFECTIVE

1t has been absolutely shown that
rest, fresh air and good food do help
many persons suffering from tubercu-
losis. But it may be admitted that
the disease is seldom more than ar

Eckman's Alternative is a medicine
made for the treatment of tuberculo-
sis. 1t has conquered this disease
again and again Often these bene-
fits have been effected where the sur
roundings were not ideal-yet recov-
cries resulted. Now we argue that Eek
mans Alternative should be used in
every case of tuberculosis, in addition
to good, nourishing food and fresh
air. which we all need. A remarkable
case follows: Weldon, III.

fcially endorsed the plan to employ
Mr.. Nolen and has directed the Indus
trial Association to devote one thous-
and dollars Of It's annual appropriation
toward defraying the expenses. The
Industrial Association and the Civic
League have also officially endorsed
the plan and will contribute what
ever may be necessary to carry out
the project. The citizens OF Keokuk
are asked to contribute generally to
this very important work in amounts
of from twenty-five cents to ten dol

the amount needed to complete the
work should be over-subscribed, the
balance remaining in the treasury
will be devoted by the Industrial As

The chairman OF the committee on

proyements and the officers OF the
Civic League request that the lieu
| tenants, who did such splendid work
| in the city cleaning. act as a city
wide committee for the acceptance OF
subscriptions toward defraying the
expenses of securing this city plan.
! We believe it to be work OF very
great importance and that there are
very few il any citizens who will not
desire to have some part in 1t. You
will remember that there are two
llieutenants in every block, and we
suggest that the two lieutenants unite
in calling on each man and woman in
the block. 80 that every person in the
city may have an opportunity to con

tory covers all four sides OF your
block.

of the Industrial Association, Is North

the city plan fund, and 1t is requested
that you and your colleague canvass
your block at your earliest conven
fence and then turn over the amount
collected to Mr.. Fulton. The total
amount subscribed by each block
with names OF lieutenants will be pub
lished in the daily papers, but the
names of the individual subscribers
will not appear.
Hoping for your cordial support an6

grounds and general improvements
has taken the responsibility Of enter
ing into a contract with John Nolen
of Cambridge, Mass, to make COM
prehensive plan for the greater Keo-
kuk. Every citizen who has kept in
touch with the affairs of the Industrial
Association and the Water Power
company is aware that the city is on
the eve Of a great Industrial develop
ment. and our object in employing Mr..
Nolen is to make provision for the
growth of the city in an economical,
attractive and sanitary way, and to
provide before it is too late for the
elimination of wasteful, unattractive
and noxious features Of that portion
of our city that is already built. The
necessity for replanning a city and
planning for its future growth is set
forth in the following quotations from
Mr.. Nolen:
"The small cities of the United
States have not made many of those
public improvements that are so es-
sential to modern life. Their streets
are still obstructed and rendered dan
gerous as well as unsightly by poles
and wires; their school grounds are
usually too small; their Fairgrounds
Inadequate and undeveloped; their
water fronts unattractive. wastefully
administered, and in private hands;
their parks detached tracts of land
unrelated one to the other. The small
cities have not yet solved the serious
problems related to railroad APP
proaches and grade crossings They
have not acted comprehensively with
regard to the main thoroughfares for
traffic or pleasure driving or street
extensions in general In brief, they
have not yet applied the business
like and economical methods of the
best city making. The American
city still suffers in many ways from
haphazard, piecemeal and short-sight-
ed procedure.
Town planning, let 1t be understood
is not a movement to make towns
beautiful in a superficial sense. It's
purposes are fundamental 1t aims
consciously to provide those facilities
that are for the common good, that
concern everybody; it seeks to save
waste, the almost incalculable waste
due to unskillful and painless pro-
cedure, for by doing things at the
right time and in the right way com.
prehensive city planning saves far
more than its cost"
The cost of the employment of Mr.
.Nolen. the services of his assistant,
the typographical survey and general
expense, is estimated to be between
four and five thousand dollars. We
agree with Mr.. Nolen that best re-
suits will follow from united action by
the city, the Industrial Association,
