PRECAUTIONS FOR WOMEN.

The Chicago Tribune the other day
gave some good advice to women ii
great cities that is applicable also IN
cities the size of Keokuk. Women can
not be too careful in responding te
telephone calls from unknown sources
Hence:
Do not act upon strange telephone
calls.
When rush calls come ask Cor the
strangers telephone number, and find
where it is located.
Do not give information of yourself
to strangers over the phone or other.
wise. Do not rely upon statements
from strangers.
In short. Use extreme care. 1t is
dangerous to leap in the dark. The
terrible fate of the teacher, Miss Leeg
son, was the result of neglecting the
most obvious precautions. It is to be
hoped it will be taken as warning.
Strangers in cities, especially strang
ers who come from small towns OF
country districts where they have
known every one they met, are natur
ally careless and confiding They
know nothing Of localities and are
easily lured into out-of-the-way places
But Miss Leegson's disregard of pre-
cautions illustrates how careless are
even those who ought to know of the
dangers of great cities.
Nurses are in profession which
calls them out in emergencies to al
parts of the city. But they should
never neglect precautions. The,
should call upon the police If neces
sary and escort should be provided
for them. Finally, no woman should
get into an automobile with an un
i known man.

Sf3 s. Hackley ST., Muncie Ind. -
When my little girl was a tiny baby she
broke out in little fine pinples here and
there over the body and head. They would
be about the size of quarter after they
were broken out and would form scab
for week or more. Then the scabs would
begin to peel of. The disease would itch
and give her much trouble. As she grew
older they would spread until some places
would be as large as a half dollar. Her
clothes seemed to make the sores burn and

arm and two on her shoulders. She would

CAUSES OF DEATH.

Death has, indeed, many doors to
let out life. One is particularly struck
with the truth Of the poets saying on
reading some of the returns made TO
the Wisconsin state board of health
lat Madison Many of them are orig
iinal and not few would grace tue
funny columns of the newspapers,
For instance, infancy Is given as
the cause of demise of mother. An
ether luckless individual Went to
bed feeling well, but woke up DEAD.
Another died suddenly at the age OF
t1O3. To this time he bid ialr "
reach a ripe old age" Still another
"had never been fatally sick DO
not know cause of death, wrote the
author of another certificate, but pa
tient fully recovered from his iass
illness" Additional examples are ap-

Of the commercial value of work OF

this city will receive much adyertis-

the unwilling of the Keokuk statue.
Original statues such as this are sci.
dom unveiled in the west, and monu-

country, ours being in the list. Be.

In this section of the country the
story will be carried far through
lPathe's Weekly and other moving pic
ture companies. City boomers con.
cede this to be one of the best means
of city advertising. Then because OF
the artistic merit of the statue itself
the national reputation of the artist
and the distinguished speakers on the
/ program, many magazines, literary and
art journals will speak of 1t. Through
all these mediums Keokuk will be
brought before many classes of PEG

NO HUNTING ON MISSISSIPPI

There is to be no game shooting
along the Mississippi river at any
time of the year under the new fed
eral law; and you may wander there
whenever you list without encounter
ing and carrying away with you as
souvenirs a load of bird shot. The
shores Of the big river will be-in
some spots at least-as lonesome as
they were when Father Marquette
drifted down the stream in his canoe.
With this state of affairs in mind
writer in the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat foresees that hunting" will be-
come obsolete except on private pre-
serves, as it is in European countries.
The restrictions grow more numerous
and sweeping every year. There is
the steady opposition of the farming
population to begin with, and this is
being fortified with state laws and is
now bulwarked by a national statute.
How long Is the pleasure of killing
things to be denied the sportsman?
The same writer thus gives wings to
his imagination In answer to this
query:
'sOf course, the cessation of shoot
| ing may result in few years in the
rural districts being SO overrun by
wild winged and footed creation that
the shotguns will be welcomed back.
When catamounts begin to drop from
the trees and lynxes reduce the out
put of hens eggs; when ravenous
rabbits chase the lone wayfarer into
deserted mill and woodchucks howl
on the front porch all night, when
screech owls fly by day because they
have so multiplied that they can't find
food enough in darkness, when NAL
Ilards davour the farmers apples and
foxes get over their contempt for UNI
ripened grapes in their unappeasable
hunger-then we may expect relax
alton of the game laws
Obviously modification of the game
laws is some distance In the future
If these things must first come tc
pass.

IMPORTANCE OF pENMANsHlP.

When doctors of philosophy send
out letters scarcely distinguishable
from bird tracks, it is not surprising
that many children write badly.
Many people, however. still believe
that penmanship is worth the most
careful attention The beginning of
the fail term of the schools is time
when parents and others may we'll
express their feeling on this matter.
Formerly seekers for work, were
very commonly expected to apply in
their own handwriting, which was
carefully examined as expressive OF
character and qualifications.
Now an applicant is likely TO have
his letter typewriter. He perhaps
feels that penmanship is more or less
obsolete. useful to bookkeepers, but
not necessary for success in larger
fields.
Yet most of the memoranda of or
6dnary business is still matter oil
hand work. Scrawly writing suggests
inefficiency, lack of control, musculai
and otherwise. You form an impress
sion of the writer as awkward and
laundering. and perhaps conceive o.

There's breathless hush in the close

A humping pitch and binding light,
An hour to play and the last man in,
And it's not for the sake of ribboned

Or the selfish hope OF seasons
fame,
But his captains hand on his shoulder
smote-
"Play up! play up. and play the
camel"
The sand of the desert is sodden red
Red with the wreck Of square that
The gatlings damned and the colonel
dead,
And the regiment blind with dust
and smoke.
The river of death has brimmed his
banks
And England's far and honor a

But the voice of schoo1boy rallies
the ranks,
.Play up! play up! and play the

This is the word that year by year
While in her place the school is set
Every one of her sons must hear,
And none that hears it dare forget
This they all with joyful mind
Bear through life like a torch in

And, falling, fling to the host behind
play up! play up! and play the

AUTO FIRE TRUCK SAVES MONEY

AUTO FIRE ThOIN SAVED MONEY
The matter of purchasing an auto
fire truck for use in this city is likely
to come UP in the near future, If it
is not already under thoughtful con
sideration At the outset two items
call for investigation: the initial cost
and the expense of upkeep. Automo-
bibles are generally considered a lux
ury, but combination hose and
chemical truck is a decided economy,
If the experience of Council Bluffs
counts for anything. Figures made by
Assistant Fire Chief Frank Hitchcock
of that city and published in the Non
pareil show that the cost OF malnten-
ance, including gasoline and oil for
the past twelve months, has been
$S416, just few dollars more than
the cost of keeping d fire team in
good shoes for one year.
The machine was purchased a year
ago at a cost of $500. 1t has not
been out of running for any fire alarm
! to which it was expected to respond,
and no item of repair has cost more
1 than S.. The machine has responded
to 173 alarms during the year and
travelled 27o $40 miles in doing So
an average of 1.57 miles on each
alarm. The Nonpareil says In this
connection:
The greater part of the cost, s84.16
for the year was paid out for gasoline
and oil, but the firemen state tina it
would harly be fair to say that Il
