II Certainly Made a Change In My
Complexion With stuart's Cal
cium Waters"

Stuart's Calcium Waters are pre-
pared carefully by the most expert
pharmacists. These men are trained
to this particular line of work.
They are the best skin remedy and
blood purifier on the market today.
No doctor, in our opinion, can pre-
scribe better one and certainly no
druggist can exceed the scientific
learning nor be equipped to produce
better treatment than these little
pleasant waters.
You should see how all skin erup-
tions vanish after using calcium sui
phide treatment in the new Stuart
way There is nothing mysterious nor
magical about this treatment. 1t is a
natural one. A perfectly harmless
one The entire system is glad the
moment Stuarts Calcium Waters en-
ter the blood, which they do just as
the nourishment you derive from your
food does.

Calcium Waters. Their action is ex-
ceedingly refreshing and not at all I'M

your eating in the least and they will
actually aid your blood and all other
functions of the body, for pure blood

best train service for shoppers in tha

a place of interest, and as has been
said before "a show place, with its
beautiful white way" The many new
electric signs will all add to the fame
of Keokuk and you will have evening
excursions just to see the white

valuable, but these few suggestions
may bear fruit. 1t is an old saying

100000 Rendered Homeless
Waters

Indianapolis, March 25.-A state
wide flood, appalling in its immensity
and terrifying in it's swiftness, claim
ed more than 200 lives, according te
meagre reports; made nearly 200,
900 homeless and did property damage
of more than $40, 900. 900 in Indiana to
day and tonight.
The rush of waters caught the state
unprepared and the following desper.
ate fight to save life and property
seemed futile.
From Peru came sudden message
that the town was overwhelmed and
hundreds drowned before they knew
their full peril.
The White river and several creeks
which surround the business district of
Indianapolis, ordinarily dry in summer
are tonight raging torrents, sweeping
everything in their path.

session to pass upon all bills in his
hands, but the code makes it man.
datory upon him either to approve or
to disapprove within these Is days, ev-
cry bill.
In his message to Secretary of State
Anderson vetoing the Cults bill, Gov
erncr Stewart said:
'tThe bill is merely the re-inact-
ment of section 545 of the revised codes
of Montana of 1907, omitting there
from certain provisions which prohibit
the appearance on the official ballot
used at general elections of the name
of any one individual on more than one
place on the ballot.
''In my view of the case the elm
ination of this provision would at least
violate the spirit of the primary law,
which was enacted on the initiative of
and by the votes of the people at the
recent general election. The primary
law provides specifically that a man
may have his name on only one party
ballot at any primary election, and the
succeeding provisions clearly indicate
that nominations by parties or by
given designation are alone recogniz-
ed.
''TThat law was enacted by the peo-
pie in the light Of the present section
545. AS the section now stands
the same general purposes would seem
to remain inviolate throughout the
primary and general election law; but
with the provision eliminated, which
the bill seeks to eliminate, fusion
would be prohibited at primaries and
permitted at general elections.
81 doubt if the people of the state
are in favor of such an enactment.
The general primary law has not been
tested in this state, and until that law
has been tested and found wanting,
that and the other sections left in eff
feet by the people with which to carry
out the methods therein defined should
not, in my opinion. be amended.

STEWART PASSES UPON ALL
BILLS
Governor Approved 204 And We
toed Six OF The Measures That
Came To Him

Helena, March 24. Before leaving
his office Governor Stewart passed up
on the measures still remaining in his
hands. He approved three and vetoed
one-the Cults bill permitting fusion,
on the ground it was violative in spir-
it Of the primary law which was en-
acted on the initiative of the people.
Of the 6l2 bills, memorials and res
olutions introduced in the Legislature,
2lO reached the governors office. All
but six were approved, these being We
toed. Four of them were senate bills
creating the counties of Wibaux, Clay,
sRichland and WheatIand, a fifth was
the Blake bill exampting war veterans
from the payment of road and poll tax
es, and the sixth was H. B. 345, Cults,
amending the law relating to the form
of ballot, to permit fusion.
One of the most important acts of
the session, H. B., 332 by Brewer,
was approved by the governor. 1t
amends the law relating to new count
les, to make their creation easier. The
two remaining bills approved were Il.
B. 247 by Kemmis, relating to the ad-
justment of liabilities between old and
new counties; and H. B. 206 by Spog-
en-, providing for the appointing of a
deputy state coal mine inspector.
There has been a general misappre-
hension that the governor could allow
bills to become laws without his sigma
ture. That is true only when the leg
islature is in session. Then he can
keep bill five days and if he has not
acted upon it, it becomes effective. He

The business men are cooperating in
every way. The Omaha hotels have
thrown open their doors for the injur-
ed. Every train into Omaha today
brought scores of physicians from
nearby towns who have friends and
relatives here and they made up con-
tinual stream of visitors to the morgues
and the hospitals.
The storm appeared to have started
at Fifty fourth and Center streets.
From there it travelled north, veering
slightly to the east to Leavenworth
street. Then it took northeastern
ly course to Fortieth and Farnum
streets, sweeping it's way through ev-
erything. Still travelling little
east of north, it covered course
from Fortieth street east to Thirty
fourth street, distance of six blocks.
Striking Bemis park, where the
homes of the we'll to do Omahans are
located, the storm turned sharply to
the east and passed along Parker and
Blonde streets to Twenty fourth street,
where it's path was six blocks wide.
In the latter section the damage is
complete.
Finally, at Fourteenth and Spencer
streets, the storm swept over the bluffs
high above the Missouri river, demol-
ished the Missouri Pacific roundhouse,
leveled the big trestle Of the Illinois
Central railroad over Carter lake,
wrecked several buildings near the Rod
and Gun club, fashionable outing or
ganization, and disappeared to the
northeast.
''The strife is Ger, the battle done;
the victory of life is won," sang Cas-
sius Sinner, tenor at the Easter SER
vice in McCabe Methodist church Sun
day morning. N
Mr.. Sinner was killed when the
tornado destroyed his home. The church
in which he sang was completely
wrecked. Many of the congregation
afterward remarked that it was the
best Mr.. Sinner had ever snng; that
he put sentiment and earnestness into
the song.

taurant, residing at Forty fifth and
Leavenworth streets, had his life saw
ed in peculiar way When the storm
approached and the wind began to blow
a hurricane, he attempted to lock an
outside door and in resisting sudden
gust, he clung tenaciously to the door.
The next thing he knew he was out in
the back yard with the door on top Of
him. When he arose and looked
around, there was not house in sight
as far as he could see in the semi dark
ness. Aside from few bruises, he was
unhurt.
