dam BLAMED FOR
SHALLOW WATER
Government Fails to Make Slip
ulation Binding Company to
Maintain Stage.

For some weeks the low stage OF
water between St Louis and Keokuk
has caused steamboats, much trou-
BILE, says the Waterways Journal
II has been impossible for steamers
to make anything near schedule time
because OF occasional grounding, and
fear of grounding necessitated caution
IN trying TO make time, and river
men are beginning to seriously blame
the water power plant at Keokuk
for the condition below the dam
II is contended that inasmuch as
this has been a very dry season the
trouble now being experienced on &C
count of shallow water is the same
as has been contended with in the
past and before the dam was con-
structed, but steamboatmen deny this
on account of the fact that above
the dam there is not now, nor has
there been this season any trouble
on account of shallow water. From
st. Paul to st. Louis there is no low
water sufficient TO cause trouble in
the navigation of steamboats,, except
below Keokuk, therefore they believe
the trouble on this end of the river
is caused by closing at stated periods
of the dam spillways.
The following is from a communi-
cation from Captain Blair, written us
for publication in Jan. 1913, which
predictions are being borne out at
the. present time. Captain Blair said
IN part:
The Mississippi Power company In
general, and Mr.. Cooper in particu.
lar, have shown a disposition TO grab
everything they want regardless OF
the rights OF others.
Congress generously gave them
the use of the vast power in The cur.
rent Of the Mississippi river to bar.
ness it and sell #, providing they dI1
not interfere with navigation In airy
way.
We are surprised beyond meas
ure to fihd they do propose interfer.
ing with navigation and very serious
~ at that by closing the wickets and
stopping the flow during extreme low
water.
II seems when they were trying
10 sell their bonds, objection was
made by prospective buyers that the
river did not furnish sufficient volume
OF water at extremely low stage to

lustre nor can it be made to look
as pretty and attractive as natural
hair.
Most laCies would resent any impu-
tation of personal carelessness and
neglect And yet very many permit
their natural hair 20 become so dull,
brittle and 1usterless that it looks no
better than that bought at the store.
All this is as unfortunate as it is
unnecessary. Hair that is unsightly or
thin may usually be attributed to the
working of the dandruff germ. This
destructive germs burrows down into
the hair follicles and shortly robs
the hair of life, with the result that
it finally loosens and drops out.

Wearing false hair is harmless de-

These women are all objects for SYM
pathy rather than criticism.
Early neglect in the care of the
scalp has caused the loss of so much
hair that their personal appearance is
sadly married. To correct this defect
they resort to artificial hair hoping by
so doing to hide the results of their
earlier inattention to the details of
