You know that if France wishes to be
powerful she wishes at the same time to
place her power toward the development
of peace and civilization throughout the
world. France is nation of noble ideas
and generous sentiments. Say it, repeat
it; endeavor to be between our three
countries the interpreters Of minds and
hearts"
In closing. the premier proposed "a
toast to the solid friendship between
France, England and the United states.

Over Worked Stomach

When your stomach will not digest
food. the worst thing you can do is to
take . lot of digestive medicines.
True, they give temporary relief. but
your stomach is the sufferer. Loss of
appetite, indigestion. dyspepsia and
headaches can only be permanently
relieved by removing the cause In
many cases, various remedies taken
to relieve these conditions result in
running the stomach and preventing 1t
from digesting food in natural way
If you want your stomach to do its
own work properly, without resorting
TO artificial dtgestives or predigested
foods, use Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge
Take small doses regularly, prefer
ably before meals. In little time
your stomach will again do its own
work and you will eat heartily, keep
well and enjoy living. Jayne's Tonic
Vormifuge is not digester In itself
but it tones up the stomach and in
testines. giving you all the nutriment
and strength from the food you eat.
Many forms of supposed indigestion
are the result of intestinal parasites,
for which Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge
Ia unsurpassed. Insist on Jayne's;
accept no other. Millions have prais.

PROVES SURE CURE
FOR RnEU Ats
Quickly Eases Stiff, Sore, Swollen
Joints and MuscIes-DrIves all
Rheumatic Pains Away.

1t is needless to suffer any longer
with rheumatism, and be all crippled
up, and bent out of shape with it's
heart-wrenching pains. when you can
be quickly and permanently cured.
Rheumatism comes from weak, In
active kidneys, that fail to filter from
the blood, the poisonous waste mat
ter and uric acid; and it is useless to
rub on liniments or take ordinary
remedies to relieve the pain. This
only prolongs the misery and can't
possibly cure you
The only way to cure rheumatism
is to remove the cause. The new dis
covery, Croxone, positively does this.
1t neutralizes and dissolves all the
poisonous substances and uric acid
that lodge in the joints and muscles.
to scratch and irritate and cause
rheumatism, and cleans out ana
strengthens the stopped-up, inactive
Kidneys, SO they filter all the poison
from the blood, and drive it on and
out OF the system.
Cro1one is the most wonderful
medicine ever made for curing chron.
lie rheumatism, kidney troubles, and
bladder disorders. You will find It
different from all other remedies
There is nothing else on earth like IT.
1t matters not how old you are. or
how long you have suffered, 1t Is
practically impossible to take 1t into
the human system without results
You will find relief from the first few
doses, and you will be surprised how
quickly all your misery and suffering
will end
An original package of Croxone
costs but trifle at any first class
drug store. All druggists are author
lied to sell 1t on positive money
back guarantee. Three doses day
for few days is usually all that is
ever needed to cure the worst back
ache or overcome urinary disorders.

Burlington Official confIdes Informal
tIon That it May be Made Into
an Electric
Line.
WILL BOOM TRAFFIC
Scheme Would Encourage Short Dis
tance Riding With Hourly
Schedules on tho
Road.

Upon good authority 1t is stated that
motor or electric cars will replace the
present passenger service on the
North road" the Burlington branch
between Keokuk and Mount Pleas
ant.
A prominent official of the c., B. &
@. railroad In letter to a Keokuk
citizen has intimated that they would
like to make arrangements with some
reliable company to run an electric
line over their tracks between the
two cities. 1t is also understood that
the 90 will begin the gas motor
car system on some OF its branch
lines.
The North road" runs through
Summitville, Donnellson and Salem
and connects with the main line at
Mount Pleasant. The line transverses
Ia well populated and prosperous
farming community with number OF
small towns along the way.
The substitution of gas motor cars
has been made on a number of great
systems, being used most effectively
on the Rock island and Frisco lines.
The Burlington has never made much
use of the system but has followed
the policies of many roads of using
old equipment on their branch roads
where the traffic will not justify ex-
lpensive equipment.
Changing the North road into a
motor Or electric car line would slim
ulate short distance travel with hour
lly schedules and open up new retail
district for the merchants of Keokuk.
There is apparently more foundation
| for believing that such a scheme will

and ten or fifteen dollars would COW
er the entire damage.
In most cases 1t was simply flue
burning out and someone block
away who saw the fire coming out Of
the chimney promptly ran to the tele-
phone and called the department.
When the department arrived at the
scene they find it is all over and no
damage done.
1t seems that people either like to
see the horses run or get badly
scared each time they see an unusual
light in the sky. The other day the
department made long run, only to
find that the reflection from some
burning cobs caused someone to call
them.
Speaking of this Chief Anderson
said, people should not cali the fire
department every time their chimney
burns out or they see light in the
sky. Most of the time 1t is not the
person at whose house the flue is
burning out but someone block
away calls the fire department PEG

makes a spark. We can only call
someone from the company's office at

chimney is cleaned out if they would

MUCH LEGAL TALENT
Assault With Intent TO Commit Muir

Dunn Is Facing the Dis

The most interesting case on the
docket, from Keokuk point of view,

County Attorney Theodore A. Craig
and his assistant E. w. McManus, in
behalf OF the state and the firm OF

brought before Judge Bank to an
swer to charge Of ASSAULT with in
tent to commit murder on the person
OF Commissioner Timothy ]. Hickey.
Although Dunn has refused to talk
about his case, presumably upon the
advice of his counsel, 1t is known
that he is preparing an obstinate de-
tense and will fight conviction desper>
ately. Since the shooting of the com
missioner Dunn has been incarcerated
in the county Jail. The attempted kill
ing took place the latter part of last
April. Dunn has never been able to
arrange the $1,000 bond required for
his gelease.
II will be remembered that Commits
sioner Hickey was shot four times by
Dunn, twice in the left side and once
in the left leg and left arm. Two OF
the bullets have never been removed
from his body. He was confined to
the hospital for several weeks and it
is said that his wounds have never
entirely healed.
During the struggle after the COM
missioner was shot, Dunn fired an
other shot which went through his
own leg, but did not inflict a serious
wound.
During the time that he has spent
In jail he has never for a moment ex.
pressed regret for his act and still

case is mentioned.
