It is SO easy to get rid of pimples

with Resinol Soap and hot water. then

cold water to close the pores. Do this
every morning and evening, and YOU

injunction suit brought by W. B. Drum
a citizen OF Cleveland. to restrain that
city from Issuing $1,00o.ooo worth OF
bonds for a municipal lighting plant
Under the ruling, the city can now
proceed with the bond issue and the
building Of the plant which was tied
up by the suit. The completion Of
the million dollar city electric light
Ing plant means that Cleveland will
have the biggest municipal owned
lighting system In the country. The
city at present operates three lighting
plants, two OF which were acquired
by the annexation Of suburbs. These
three are to be combined with the new
plant and thereby make municipal
light available In nearly all sections
of the city, The city also intends to
continue selling three cent light"
that is, charge a rate of three cents
per kilowatt hour.

lion against foods is the prime point

ton against foods is the prime point
but this can not be save by reclaim
ling damaged lands and roads, not
from wet only but from drouth
which cracks entertainments, levees
hills and road banks, causing settling,
then saturation, then soil creep or
land run Why water carriers are
more thought of than railroads is
bard to see when in food times most
railroads are inefficient and when all
Iof them are represented in drainage
and levee districts and all of them
have policies as to allowance for
floods and little supervision.
1t is pretty much Missouri bill
but Iowa has a commission with as
complex features. The Iowa state
drainage, waterways and conservation
commission and an Iowa professor has
the necessary head for figures to put
all the possible factors of full, true
and adequate reclamation on an
equitable financial basis. and this OF
itself is the most common and trust
worthy method of doing this mixed
public and private business. A Wash
Iington ex-congressman started some
thing by demanding national highways
and he got better than a second, a
showing of a demand on the general
government, without which politics
moves hardly at all.
Iowa has heretofore allowed the q
s. to look after the overflow by levees
and has then gone after drainage mat
ters, mostly with the idea that satura
ton by percolation follows levee
whereas there Is seepage from any
slope, hill or embankment enough to
make mischief for the farmer, espec
tally the early bird sort, and the local
waterfall Is such that far too many
farms need legal reclamation from
surface waters, meaning soil-satuta
ton, making crop or stand" un
profitable or impossible
The bill seems to be far behind the
pace set by the U. 8. supreme court
in the matter of the control Of branch
waters Of streams fit for power pur
poses. There seems no reason why
Iimproveents should be made to depend
on the accidental presence of public
lands. So the matter belongs proper
lily more to the agriculture than the
interior department. However. the
economic view of the need is fal
more frank than to make private
owners pay for public health reasons
1t is greatly to be feared that the
engineering reason for reclamation Ii
not as enlightening as the economic
or agricultural reason. Most engi
neers will certainly propose enough i
there is a fund or suitable bond pro

For Many Years Resident of keokuk
Until the Death
of Her Hus-
band.
BORN IN ILLINOIS STATE
Her Remains Wore Brought From Den
yer to Bunker Hill, In That
State for
Burial.


The news came to the city Of the
death of Mrs. Lucy A. Sisson, widow
OF the late strother w. sisson, who
died In Keokuk several months ago,
the family residing in Keokuk num-
Der of years previous to his DEATH
Mrs. Sisson will be well remember
ed In keokuk where the family made
many acquaintance and friends. Her
death occurred at Denver, Colorado,
September 90, where she had made
her home the past year.
Mrs. Sisson was born at Bunker
Hill. ILL.,, in 1916. In 1854 she was
married to Strother w. Sisson and
two children were born to them, enc
dying in infancy and the other, DR..
Ellet o. Sisson, who died in Denver
two months ago. The family came to
Keokuk twenty-six years ago and CON
tinued their residence here till Mr..
Sisson's death in August. 1912, when
she went to Denver to be with her
son.
She was an earnest and consistent
member Of the First Westminster
PRESBYTERIAN church of Keokuk, and
had a vide circle of friends in that
society and outside in Keokuk who
VIII be saddened at the announcement
OF her death. Mrs stsson is survived
by two brothers, residents Of Illinois
Her body was brought from Denver
to Bunker Hill, H., for burial.

Possible Accidents From

speeders.
CROSSING Is DANGEROUS
Some Automoblllsts Observe Safety
Rules on FIfth Street While
Others Run At High
Speed.

A new kind Of street railway order
has been promulgated in Keokuk In
carrying out the safety FIRST, idea.
The street cars on the park line flag
the North Fifth street crossing for
automobiles In practically the same
manner that they flag railroad cross
ing for trains. The only difference Is
that the conductor does not run
ahead of the car. 1t is, however,
brought almost to a srandstill and
the motorman takes a careful look
both ways before starting across the
street
The tagging of Fifth street was
found necessary by the street car
company because of the reckless driv-
Ing of automobiles over the new con-
crete speedway" The view Of the
street is shut off by houses and should
an automobile be coming down the
street at the rate of speed many of
them travel on Fifth street as car
started to cross at usual speed an ac-
oident could hardly be prevented. Be
cause Of the fact that the street cars
pass on Franklin between Fifth and
Sixth streets the tagging does not
cause SO much trouble as 1t would
on other streets.
While some Of the autoists careful
" observe safety rules in driving their
cars up Fifth street, there are many
who take no precaution at all. There
have been several narrow escapes
from serious accidents on the street
recently.

Modern Improvement.

Modern Improvement.
To the Editor Of The Gate City:
A very important. though made
Iquate. bill has been introduced by
Speaker Clark. It Is here shown sec
lond hand:
! WASHINGTON, Sept 1e.-speaker
Clrak today introduced In the house
comprehensive bill providing for the
establishment OF flood protection
and drainage fund. The purpose of
the bill is to provide protection
against floods, reclaim wet lands and
to develop interstate commerce by
water carriers.
/ This is the bill which John n Mol
len, Missouris commissioner of recla-
nation and other friends of the drain
age and flood protection movement
hope to see enacted into law during
the sixty-third congress. Mr.. Nolen
was recently in Washington working
on this matter for the national drain
age congress.
Senator John Sharp Williams Of
Mississippi has promised to substi-
tute this bill for one introduced by
him some time ago, provided it meets
with his appreciation.
] While primarily designed to bring
about the drainage and reclamation Of
swamp and overlooked lands on the
public domain and the ceded portions
of Indian reservations, the bill also
provides for the reclamation OF wet
lands in state and private ownership,
when the public lands are so situated
that they form part Of single drain
age basin or district.
The reclamation of state and private
lands must be paid for by the states
and private owners through the is
suance Of bonds, as prescribed in the
bill The secretary of the interior I'M
der the bill would have general charge
of the drainage work. calling upon the
secretary OF war only when the work
involved the improvement or charging
of natural channels or the excavation
or construction of canals of size and
capacity sufficient for navigation pur-
poses.
The bill also provides for the re-
clamatfon of wet lands when located
1 in two or more contiguous states,
even If the area contains no public
lands. when deemed advisable or nee
essary from an engineering, sanitary
or economic standpoint"
The bill carries an appropriation Of
100000 in addition to providing
for the setting aside for the food
protection and drainage fund a stipu.
lated proportion of the money received
from the sale and disposal of public
lands in the states of Alabama, Ark
ansas, Florida. Illinois. Indiana, Iowa,
louisiana, Michigan. Minnesota, Mis-
sissippi, Missouri. Ohio and Wiscon-
sin and the territory of Alaska, be.
ginning with the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1914.
This whole matter and others no
doubt belong to the general govern.
ment It is unfortunate that a fund
lis the basis instead of an appropria.
ton. also. that the bill does not con,
tain in full all the agricultural, health
land transportation factors that the
present situation demands. Protec
