Eat Candy and Get
Thin and Shapely
(From Home Chemistry. }


Fat people who detest dieting, ex-
ercise, special baths and other incon-
venient ways Of reducing superfluous
flesh, will no doubt be delighted to
hear that they need only eat candy to
obtain the desired results. OF course,
not just any kind of candy, but very
nice, tasty candy, nevertheless.
This clever idea comes from Ger
many, where almost everyone is too
fat Obesity there is national griev-
ance. So the Germans, who love
sweets, introduced seaweed extract
into candy drops known as boranium
jujubes. The active principle, com
pletely disguised by the flavor of the
candy, has the effect of drying out
the fatty tissues of the body Borani-
UNI jujubes are also made In this
country to some extent, but their vir-
tues, unfortunately, are so little
known here that they cannot be found
except upon the back shelves Of drug
stores. The enterprising candy mer
chants have not yet discovered them
The daily eating of three or four Dor
anium juiubes is said to work won.

came, she was only about twenty three
years of age, just in the prime of
her young womanhood, which makes
her death all the more saddening to
the hosts of young and old friends
who are left to mourn ror her and
wonder at the inscrutable ways Of
Providence.
There is one word of coincidence
that can be spoken in such an hour
as this: "He doeth all things well"
!" Tis not in man
To yield reason for the will OF
heaven
Which Is inscrutable."
Her dear and grieved friends can
do no more than shed silent tear
and drop few fragrant, typical flow
ers upon her bier, tokens of their
grief and their continued love for her
and her memory.
Arrangements for the funeral had
not been made but 1t is probable that
the burial will take place at a burial
place few miles out in the vicinity
of where she was born.

It was sad death, the passing
away of Mrs. Ruth Zimmerman Par
sons, at local hospital at 4:30 o'clock
Saturday morning Of an acute attack
of Brights disease, after short III
ness.
She was bright, vivacious girl and
favorite with her associates, espec-

where she was graduated from the
Keokuk high school. She was born
near the city at the old homestead
of the late DR.. Turner, her grandfath-

street road. She was a girl Of ap,
ness and pursued her studies earnest
ly, and after receiving her diploma in
the Keokuk high school, continued
her studies for probably two years at
school In Chicago Always interesting
and companionable, not one OF her
scLoolmates stood higher for social
qualities and scholarship than Ruth
Zimmerman. From childhood she and
her young and disconsolate husband
had been youthful friends which final
ly terminated in love and matrimony
They were married only last Septem-

The Attitude Of the Telephone Com
pany.
To the Editor of The Gate City:
In my opinion it is the duty Of every
citizen of the city of Keokuk to read
and re-read the article addressed to
Mr.. G. R. Joy from Mr.. Guy H. Pratt,
the general commercial superinten-
dent Of the Iowa Telephone company,
which was published in your paper
Friday, August Is, 1918, in order to
firmly fix in their minds and under
stand the attitude of the Iowa Tele-
phone company towards the citizens
OF Keokuk, which is plainly expressed
in said letter The Iowa Telephone
company elucidated by their repre-
sentative seem to think that the citi-
zens of Keokuk are socialistic gang,
unworthy of any consideration what
ever, that they know nothing and
have to be told 1t is public be
ID article plainly showing that
they intend to do as they please; that
we have no rights whatever and are
presumptious set to attempt any in
reference, plainly showing that they
care nothing about Keokuk or its
citizens except for what they can
make out of us, and they should be
plainly shown they are very much
mistaken. There seems to be very
good legal opinion that they are oper-
ating without a franchise and they
should not be granted franchise
under any circumstances without
great care and close scrutiny, with a
clear understanding as to their rights
and intentions.
At one of our public meetings one
of their representatives intimated
that their present exhorbitant rates
were too low, intimating that an adj
vance was contemplated. 1t seems
now to be another Of their intentions
to attach their cables without permits
sion to private buildings SO as to
avoid the maintenance of certain
number of poles. The petition reduc'
ing the telephone rates was signed by
over 1000 good citizens and would
have been signed by all the voters in
the city had they been asked to do so
hence believe I voice the sentiment
OF every citizen of KeolSuk that they
never parted with little money any
more willingly and with more pleasure
than they will to have the courts de
termine whether We have any rights
or not. We fail to remember any eff
fort whatever on the part of the lowe
Telephone company to approach us il
La friendly way.

WHICH ARMY WON THE
BATTLE OF CH|CKAMAUCA
REvERAL VERSIONS ADVANCED As TO WHO
WERE THE REAL V|CTORS

Chattanooga, Tenn, March
31.-The question as to which
army won in the battle of Chick
amauga has provoked much con-
troversy, but unbiased history
sets the engagement down in the
list of drawn battles. The Con-
federate historians. however, in
sist that the victory was with the
Southern army.
The late Gen. FL. V. Boynton
and the late Gen. John B. Cor
don had a number of sharp pas
sages in public prints years ago
over the question. General
Boynton advanced the argument
that Rosecranz did not run away
from Chickamauga; that after
the battle che advanced on Chat
tanooga." In reply to this some
what remarkable proposition,

P0RAT|ON?

1t is plan gotten up 10 lift
me people of the south out of the
clutches of debt and place them
on the rock of prosperity by get
Ting for the farmer 15c for his
cotton.
How can this be done?
BY helping the farmer hold his
cotton off the market
How is this to be done?
BY paying the farmer IS per
cent OF the market price in cash
SO as to ease his debts and issue
him cotton script for the rest Of
his cotton up to 15c bearing int at
b per cent until cotton handled
for him is sold. This script is
backed up by the cotton sold un.
til a full settlement is made.
How is this movement to be
maintianed2
The farmer pays S1-35c Of thc
expence and the rest is charged
to the cotton and it must be sold
enough over 15c to net the pro-
ducer l5c If the crop 1911 could
have been sold for 15c per lb Ne

worth one hundred and flt,
thousand Dollarsmore than she is
to day.
How many miles of good roaGs
could we have built with
this amount?
How many debts would tlis
have paid that have been left un.
paid?
Some will say that it would
cause cotton goods to be too high.
1t will to some extent, goods
that cost sc yd will cost &c per yd
or an increase of such prices as
above mentioned.
Who uses cotton goods?
There are 100000, who are con
nected with the production OF
cotton. There are 6O0O0,O0O pco.
pie who are consumers.
The farmer is as much entitled
to a reasonable compensation for
his labor as any other business
man.
Give the farmer legitimate
price for his cotton and see other
business will grow.
We ask that the cotton producer
investigate this movement and
contract their cotton with the

possession of Chattanooga for
months, he could not understand
now his retreat from Chicka-
mauSa could be twisted into an
advance on Chattanooga.
General Gorden went on to ex.
plain the situation at some
length. He said that General
Rosecranz had Atlanta as his obs
Jectlve; that he left his strong.
hold at Chatianooca and turned
his face South. After the battle
his face was turned back TO Chat
!'anoo9a, where he proceeded to
fortiy his position even stronger
than ever. The fact the Confed-
crates met Rosecranz at Chicka-
mauga and turned HIM back, is
the circumstance upon which
men like General Gordon base
their claims to the victory.
General Bragg was severely
crltlzed for his failure to follow
General Rosecranz into Chatta-
nooga and finish him. However,
Gov. John B. Gordon defends
Bragg. He says that General
Bragg knew that Chattanooga
was stronly fortified, that wires
had been stretched at intervals
across the fields between Chicka-
mauga and Chattanooga to ob
struct as much as possible a Con-
tederate advance, and that other
obstructious had been placed in
the path of the Confederate.
General Rosecranz, it seems, had
anticipated a general advance on
Chattanooga by the Cenfederates
and had done everything known
towards preparations to obstruct
his antagonists if be attempted
to storm him in his stronghold.
General Gordon was of the opin-
ion, in later years of his life, that
if General Bragg had undertaken
to follow Rosecranz into Chatta-
nooga, his army would have been
cut to pieces or captured.
Two months after the battle of
Chickamauga, the armies found
themselves engaged in another
death grapple. From Septem-
bel % to November "a, the date
of the Lookout mountain engage
ment, the armies had been re-
pairing the awful damage to
their ranks in the Chickamauga
massacre. The battle Of Lookout
mountain opened the final con-
tlict Oh these historic fields. This
battle was fought November "a.
Next day came the battle of Mis-
sionary Ridge, November 25.
The latter engagement broke the
power Of the Confederates in tie
Chattanooga territory, and left
the Federals in updisputed posses
sion of the valley.
Including the battle of Chick
amauga. Lookout mountain
and Missionary Ridge, and var
ious skirmishes incident there
to. the losses here were about A.
600. These facts and incidents
will be of intense interest to the
Confederate veterans and visitors
when they assemble here
May 27-29 for their annual re-
union. The environs Of Chatta-
nooga are richer in war history
than any other point on the
American continent. For this
reason, and additional fact that
no locality has so much scenic
beauty, the attendance on this
May reunion is expected to be
the largest in the history of the
association of Confederate vet
Grams.
