MOTHER WAS WORRIED
Because Young Daughter coushed SO
Much-What She Did.

Just think how anxious Mrs. Will
liam Archer of Long Branch N. j.,
must have been about her 14-year-old
daughter. She says: She was very
thin, had a bad cough, was nervous
and did not sleep well. Vinol has
helped her wonderfully. She can
sleep all night now without cough
ing once, in fact her cough is gone.
Her appetite is greatly improved and
she has gained weight. / wish every
mother knew what yinol will do for
delicate children"
Nothing can possibly be more i'm
portant than the health of children
and that is why we earnestly advise
the use OF Vinol in all cases where a
child is weak, pale, run down, has
a cough, or poor appetite. We have
seen it make 80 many children strong
and rosy that we believe in 1t.
Children take Vinol eagerly because
it tastes good and it puts new strength
into their little bodies. We guarantee
Vinol to give perfect satisfaction and
give back your money If it does not

Miss Anna 3. HowelIs the Victim Of
Runaway Accident
Died sunday
Morning.
4 PECULIAR SADNESS
A studicus, Popular Member Of the
Sophomore Class of the
keokuk High
School.

There Is a peculiar sadness In the
death Of Miss Anna B. Howells which
occurred at 9:05 o'clock yesterday
morning at a local hospital in the city
from injuries received In a runaway
accident on Sunday, Just three weeks
previous to the Sunday on which she
died. The family reside on their farm
about eight miles west OF the city and
she was a member of the sophomore
class OF the Keokuk high school. She
usually spent her Saturdays and Sun
days at her home This fatal Sunday
she was being driven to Keokuk and
her school duties, behind a team, one
of which was young and quite spirited.
When near the city the team became
frightened at an automobile, ran away
and the young and promising high
school girl was the victim of the ac-
cident and now her young life has
gone out.
The deceased was born in Lee coun-
ty November Ia. 1894, and was con-
sequently in the eighteenth year of
her age. She was the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Winslow w. Howells and the

The family of Window w. Howells

for term of five years, their home
being at 1425 Fulton street, which they
left to return to their farm where
they now reside. While in Keokuk the
children attended the public schools
of Keokuk, and Anna continued her
attendance after the family returned
to their farm property. She was a
most exemplary girl, student of re-
markable diligence and favorite
with her teachers on account of her
gentle, courteous manners and her
studiousness. Her markings were
always good. She was popular with
her classmates and school and popu-

Men DIE OF COLD COOLER WEATHER FIRE LOSS HEAVY
Superintendent's Re.
port Shows $3,111,272 Paid.
This Represents Only Half
Loss by Fire Past Year.

For the year ending July 1, Kansans
were paid $3,111,272 for fire losses, ac-
cording to the report of Ike S. Lewis
state superintendent of insurance.
These payments, the Lewis figures
show, represent about one-half of the
losses in the state for the II months.
Lewis argues in his report that for
Kansas to secure a low rate of in
surance the fire waste must be reduced.
The payments for losses is shown at
about So for every man, woman and
child in the state. The insurance COM
missioner pleads for legislative enact
ment creating state fire marshal,
with authority to investigate all ques-
tionable blazes and to bring criminal
actions against persons suspected of
arson. 1t is also argued by Lewis that
the insurance permitted under state
law should be limited to the assessed
valuation OF the property

ONE BIC FAMILY
All Express Companies Have a
Common Head.
The 1. C. C. Files Report of Its
Investigation.

Washington. July 15.-Sweeping re-
ductions in express rates averaging, in
general, approximately 10 per cent.
drastic reforms in regulations and prac-
tees and comprehensive changes in the
methods of operation, are prescribed in
a report made public by the interstate
commerce commission of it's investiga-
ton into the business of the IS great
express companies of the United States.
Dealing with <he identity of interest
among the various companies, the re-
port finds that while these companies
are separate legal entities, "it is of
interest to regard this fact by stock
ownership and otherwise are so in
terlaced, intertwined, and interlocked
that it is with difficulty we can trace
anyone of the greater companies as
either wholly independent in it's man
agement or the agency of a single rail-
road system. So that while these COM
panies operate separately and COM
pete with one another for traffic, the
express business may be said to be
almost a family affair. An interesting
genealogical tree in fact, might be
drawn showing a common ancestry in
all of the larger companies. And whilt
many names may be used to designate
these companies, it is within the fact
to saw that aside from the operations
of the minor and dlstinctively railroad
express companies, the express busl-
ness of the United States is MANAGED
bv not moT4 than three groups of in
terests.
The inquiry was the most extensive
and, in wealth of infinite detail, proba-
bly the most thorough, ever prosecuted
nv the commission. 1t was conducted
and the report was prepared by Com
missioner Franklin K. Lane. 1t has
been in progress for nearly three years.
The report itself makes 900 printed
nages. 1t involved an examination and
comparison of practically more than
500 600 600 express rates in effect in
this country, in addition to an examf-
nation of millions of waybills and an
investigation, through the books of the
companies, of their financial operations
and business methods.
Commissioner Lane is of opinion that
the conclusions reached constitute
long step towards the solution of that
graVest problem of the American
householder, the high cost of living.
The greatest reduction of rates pro-
posed is on small packages-that is on
parcels which weigh less than II
pounds Rates on packages of more
than II pounds were found to be more
reasonable than those on smaller par
cells.
Briefly stated, the new rates may be
said to be based upon a minimum
charge of 21 cents for a one-pound
package. This charge increases in ratio
to the increase of weight and distance
at rates varying from three-tenths of
a cent a pound to about IL cents a
pound. Twelve cents a pound. accord
ing to the conclusions of the commits
sion, is approximately the highest rate
per pound for the greatest distance
possible for a parcel to be carried who'll
ly within the United States, exclusive
of Alaska.
