DR.. WELLS
MAKES CORRECT
DIAGNOSIS
Prominent Hancock County. H., Man
Has Been Treated for Wrong
Ailments.

It stands TO reason man who has
had the experience this man has In
treating stubborn diseases and seeing
the multitudes of suffering he would
be more able TO correctly diagnose a
case than man who is trying to do
something out of his line Of work.
Doctor Wells does not treat confine-
ment cases, typhoid, measles and
broken legs and does not pay any at
tention to them, that Is why he Is
proficient in his speciality of chronic
cases. This man from Illinois had
been treated for years and told he had
kidney trouble, but they gave kidney
medicine and 1t did him no good AS
soon as he was placed on the medicine
suited for his disease he began to
improve at once. Doctor Wells does
not treat the class of diseases the
other doctors do nor does he want 10
interfere with them In their work.
Tor there are as good doctors in Keo-
knk in the general practice and sur
gerry as there is any place. His office
the last week has been busy place
and hundreds have been made happy
He says Do unto others as you wonld
have others do unto you."--Advertise.

BIG BATTLE TO-DAY
At Los ANGELES
Al PaIxer and Luther Mccarty viii
Battle for Heavyweight Title at
Vernon Arena
Today.
FINISH THEIR TRAINING
Both Men In Perfect Condition With
PaIzer a Slight FavorIte Of
His Opponent Last
Night.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
LOS ANGELES. Calf. Jan. With
both men in perfect condition for a
gruelling battle, one of the fiercest
fights in the recent history OF pugil,
ism is expected in the Vernon arena
this afternoon when Al ralzer, of
Iowa, and Luther McCarty, of Mis-
souri,, meet to decide possession OF a
diamond belt emblematic of the
worlds heavyweight championship.
The battle, which is the second Of a
series of white hope" examinations
started by Promoter Tom McCarey,
is generally accepted as carrying with
it the title long held by lack Johnson.
Johnson having been virtually barred
from all the prize rings of the coun-
try. is looked upon as eliminated from
fighting in the future. AS spectators
of the battle. the thousands of local
fight bugs have been reinforced by
hundreds OF fans from other sections
of the Pacile coast and of the country
at large So numerous were these
that Uncle Tom McCarey predicted
this morning that $4,000 house
would be on hand when the two giant
maulers face each other.
The two men are so evenly matched
that experts in the pugilistic game to-
day hesitated to pick winner. Al
though Palzer early in the training
stages appeared to be the favorite,
betting today was at even money
Outside enthusiasts have backed the
Iowan strongly but yesterday and to-
day local fans have come to McCarty's
support.
Both men concluded their heavy
work two days ago and since then
have been resting at their respective
training quarters. To Judge by what
each says. there is no doubt but that
the other will go down for the count
Palzer's advantage in size ana the i'm
preserve way he showed in training
have drawn TO him many hackers His
reach exceeds McCarty's FIVE inches.
while he is bigger than the Missourian
IN every way.
On the other hand. there has been
certain element OF mystery about the
way McCarty has trained that has had
its effect on bettors. 1t is pointed
out by these that Luther apparently
showed nothing in his training for the
eight with Flynn several weeks ago.
Yet when he got the Pueblo fireman
into the ring he gave him fearful
lacing
They predict that the lacl of Inn
pressiveness in his training for this
battle. therefore should not be counted
against him. The fears OF friends that
Luther had seriously injured his left
hand last week in sparring bout
were removed when an X-ray photo
OF the damaged walloper showed it
was in perfect shape.

"Brewster,s Millions. /"

Almost the entire New York cast
will appear at the Grand opera house
next Monday evening in 'Brewster's
Millions. Holiday time prices will
prevail 81 being the top price for this
high class attraction. 1t is customary
to reduce the prices during the holt
day time but the work OF the company
will not be reduced. In fact it is for
tunate that Keokuk will be able to see
this New York cast in this great play.

fore they are all gone.
Probably no book Naturalization OF
recent years has enjoyed the success
and popularity that has attended
"Brewster's Millions" George Barr
McCutcheon's remarkable ale OF
frenzied finance. The title character
is in the capable hands of Walter Al
len and the supporting company is
one of exceptional merit. The story
OF the play is familiar to the average
theatregoer5 and book reader and
tells how Montgomery Brewster, IN
heriting million dollars from his
grandfather, while given a house
warming and surprise party by his
friends, who shower congratulations
upon him, is informed by a solicitor
that his mothers brother, who has
just died has left him a fortune O.,
SI,0oo,O00, on condition that he shall
spend the million within a year, the
reason for the stipulation being that
the young mans mother had been
left in. want by the grandfather, and
the uncle does not wish her son TO
enjoy an inheritance from that source.
The conditions are that he shall not
give the million dollars away-that
would be too simple-yet he is not to
be mean. He must spend 1t in some
legitimate way. by investing 1t In some
Legitimate business, or using 1t for his
enjoyment and that of his friends
