The executive committee OF the Iowa
State Electrical Association met in
Des Moines last week at the office OF
w H. Thomson. general manager OF
the Des Moines Electric company, to
arrange for the annual convention
which will be held at Waterloo, April
~ On April %, the delegates will
visit the Keokul1 dam for the purpose
Of inspecting and forming ideas how
the big water power project can be
made of service to Iowa's cities.
Regarding the agitation for regula-
ton Of water power sites, w. H.
thomson, general manager of the Des
Moines Electric company, stated that
me Des Moines company will not be
anected by any legislation in the oper-
atlon of the Center street dam. Mr..
Thomson states that water power
sites on the Des Moines river north
OF the Raccoon do not amount to any
tnlng on account of the lack of water.
AT the present stage Of the Des Moines
river the Center street dam supplies
out ESQ horse power for a period OF
TWO hours every day, beginning at Z
O'Clock in the morning. This is hardly
enough to notice, he says, and the dam
would not be used at all were 1t not

Dear Doctor Hartman: am very

have no doubt they will do a great
deal of good. Sometimes am almost
tempted to buy a bottle of Pe-ru-na
and have it on hand because Of your
convincing talk, but belong to a
health club. 1t is one rule of this
club to have nothing to do with dis
ease or medicine. Our whole talk is
health and things that make for
health. We are determined, all of us
to never use medicine in any form.
OF course we do not attempt to deny
the usefulness of medicine on some
occasions, but for ourselves we have
decided to so live that we shall never
need the services of doctor or the
assistance of medicine. What would
you do if you We're in my placer"

Many hundreds Of dollars were ex-
pended in advertising this show, and
the display cards in street cars,

the object of the moving pictures was
to show the people what can be done
with cement The moving pictures
showed what cement is doing for
this age and which is selling for
about $1.60 a barrel net (bags re-
turned). 1t was great advertise
ment in this part of the state for Keo-
kuk
1t was a pleasure to the 1ownas and
particularly the Keokukians to see
these moving pictures and many who
have not seen the work at Keokuk,
were astonished at its size and de-
clared it compared we'll with the
Panama canal The thousands of
workmen, smoking locomotives, i'm

and the manner of handling every
thing was truly wonderful (And we
thought how they would be surpris-
led if they could see it now.) The
pictures Of the Panama canal We're
! good, but for the fact that it was
more serpentine in length 1t did not
excel the Keokuk dam. The Culebra
cut was big, but the slides caused the
only trouble and required the remov-
ling of more rock and dirt. At Keokuk

y AUDITORIUM, Omaha, Feb. S.-The
Nebraska cement show after FIVE
days successful exhibition, closed to-
night. The products of cement in a
finished and-unfinished form were won
derful. The splendid pictures of the
Panama canal and the great dam at
Keokuk in moving pictures every af
ternoon and night were pleasing to the
hundreds and thousands of visitors;
and thousands who had no idea of the
construction of the wonderful water
power at their very door, caused much
establishment
We have revised our number Of Wis
itors from here to almost a train load.
There were seventy-fve exhibitors and
the display of Portland cements, mix
fers OF all kinds, crushers, tools, and
manufactured articles, from mausole-
Erms and collins to household furniture,
was wonderful and interesting.
r To the thousands who have only a
vague idea about such common pro
Duct and what can be made from
cement, 1t was revelation and sur
prise. There we're feeding and water
tanks, stock bathing tanks. cement
floors for houses, barns, sheds and
kitchens, fence posts, telephone poles,
lrosts, railroad ties, urns, chairs
benches, houses and barns, and in
fact almost everything which in the
Ipast has been made out of wood and
timber.
There were many beautiful exterior
and interior stucco cement finishings
IN all shades and colors. The exter
Tor shell and pebble finish, rough and
smooth, pebble dash, blue, white, gray
and. red crushed granite finish for out
er walls, and smcothed off for interior
finish. The exquisite sparkling pure
white quartz finish, and glistenine
7eldspar crystal interior finish toned
down to the smoothness of coat OF
plastering for inside finishing, was
grand and which even millionaire
might long for, and all of which is
within the reach of the common peo
lple, and home builders, and SO chear
that the average mechanic with new
Ideas, can easily work out or pick II
in a few days, after seeing it mixed
and done, there is absolutely no mys
tory about the cement and its use anc
the only puzzle is that the average
4 mechanic, cement worker and plas
terer should be SO slow to adopt thu
new ideas.
