past ten years, and 1t seems to me
that the price is a trifle high"
''It Is impossible for me to lower my
price," CURLY replied the proprietor.
Nov, my dear man." the other

concessions for an old friend?"

Explains Cause
of Stomach Tronble
Valuable Advice to sufferers,


There are many different forms of
stomach trouble" said a well-known
specialist recently, but practically all
are traceable to excessive acidity and
food fermentation. That is why the
results obtained from the use Of drugs
are usually SO disappointing. Admit
ting fermentation and consequent
ecidity Of the food contents to be the
underlying cause OF most forms of
Indigestion, it naturally follows that
the use c. a reliable antacid, such as
the pure tisurated magnesia which is
so frequently prescribed by physicians,
viii produce better results than any
known drug or combination of drugs.
Accordingly I almost invariably ad.
wise those who complain Of digestive
trouble to get some bisurated magne-
STA (note the name carefully. as other
forms are unsuitable for this purpose),
from their druggist, and take from
one to two teaspoonflls Of the pow.

COMBING WON'T RID
HAIR Of DANDRUFF
The Easiest and Best Way Is to
Dissolve II.

The only sure way to get rid of dand-
ruff is to dissolve it. then you destroy it
entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning most,
if not all, of your dandruff will be gone,
and three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it, no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop at once,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred times better.
If you want to preserve your hair, do
by all means get rid of dandruff, for
nothing destroys the hair more quickly.
1t not only starves the hair and makes it
fall out, but it makes it stringy, straggly,
dull, dry brittle and 1ifeless, and every
one notices it. You can get liquid arvon
at any drug store. 1t is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.

DONOR OF SITE
Quincy Man Who Assisted Chamber
Of Commerce 10 Congratulated
by Power Co.'S President.

Quincy Journal: John A. Heller,
who donated the site for the new
home of the Chamber Of Commerce,
received some deserved praise. yes
.terday, when he received the following
letter from the new manager Of the
Keokuk Power company, who recently
visited and dined with the directors o.
the local Chamber Of Commerce:
II was sorry not to be able to see
you again before leaving Quincy,
Wednesday. and to say how much i'm
pressed was at the splendid build
ing site which you have donated to
the Chamber Of Commerce. When one
stops to think that the usual accom-
modations for Chamber of Com
merce are single room, not always
in the best location, it Is indeed a
splendid thing for the city Of Quincy
to have a large. modern, commodious
building for the sole occupancy OF
its Chamber Of Commerce.
IT realize fully, as, Of course, do
the citizens of your city, that such a
result is largely due to the enter.
prise and public spirit of men like
yourself. Such spirit speaks vol
umes for the future prospects of the
city of Quincy, and the city is certain
'ly to be congratulated on possessing
such a priceless asset.
Hoping to see you when you come
to Keokuk, and with kind regards, 1
remain,
Yours very truly,
