New Way to Correct
Baggy Cheeks and Chin
(From Herald Of Healthy

,
Sagging cheeks and double chin are
regarded as forerunners of old age.
With a little care these hated signs
may be corrected. The skin loosening
is due to failing nutrition of underly-
ing tissues, causing their shrinkage.
The natural thing to do is to nourish
and build up the underlying tissues.
An effective treatment is to coat
the face with a perfect harmless sub
stance known as parafied plastoid
Jelly, which hardens into a mask and
brings a good supply of rich. nourish-
Ing blood to the surface. The mask
draws I'M the flabby muscles, holding
them firm and taut, and rests them
mercifully. A noticeable rejuvena-
ton appears at once and permanent
benefits accrue with each application.
Parafed plastoid jelly, obtainable at
any drug store, is inexpensive, the
package being SO ample that each
treatment costs but a few cents. Keep
It on from fifteen minutes to an hour.
When the jelly is removed with cold
water, the face looks years younger.

Keokuk is no exception. Every sec

OF these witnesses, the fact that they

How We Do Smoke and Drink.

guished regulations of the highball,

knockout of the army canteen anil
the general advance of the cause Of
temperance, Americans are drinking
and smoking more than ever. Accord,
ing to the governments figures our
total internal revenue receipts for
the last fiscal year, which Is an in
dex to our indulgences, amounted to
s30947S,0 900 or s16,5oo,Oo0 more than
In 1912.
What proportion of this stupendous
sum went for smoking and what for
drinking, we do not know, but the
report says we broke the records in
both. Yet are we not nation OF
topers. Ordinarily we do not even
stagger under our load. If drunken,
ness is not on the increase, what then
can this enlarged consumption OF
liquor mean but that its use has
spread to a larger number, and II
this is true, might it not follow that
temperance-not total abstinence--is
on the increase? Even the most ex-
IRENE advocates of sumptuary laws
should find some consolation in this
supposition, however far from ideal
It might come. One thing seems very
certain-and that is very old thing
namely. that the indulgences OF
weak humanity do not greatly vary,
on the whole, from one generation to
another. Always and ever. though
the fight should go on for temperance
and sobriety.

DELAYED Street Work.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
The average man has, or should
have, personal interest In the streets
of the city in which he lives, and the
rural roads tributary.
Compared with other cities, the
streets and crossings in Keokuk are
in deplorable condition. Understand
from good authority we have fewer
miles of paved or concrete streets
than any other city of over 10000
population in Iowa.
Other cities have, almost without ex-
ception, king" road drags, or an in.
expensive road machine, and spend
more or less money profitably in i'm
proving the country roads. There is
no question but wha. every dollar
spent in this way lisa good investment
for the city.

tention to the boulevard, our finest
drive, which has been closed for over
one year notwiths anding the vigorous
protest from many citizens in Keokuk.
Understand the contractor alone is re-
sponsible for this, as the city finished
grading, and turned the job over to
the contractor early las year. and the
job was to have been completed last
fall From what can learn it will not
be completed for another two months
time. 1t certainly will not be, l. he

will benefit by the change Of games

It will probably be day or two

will get as its share. about 5000.
President Justice went to Monmouth
and Galesburg on the early morning
train with T. G. Hayden OF the Bur-

conditions in those two towns, con-
sequently the check for the holiday
