 Fight Repeal of Exemp- tion Clause.

Washington. March 16-The National Rivers and Harbors Congress. which has branches in many states, has thrown it's influence against the rec onmendation of the President for the repeal of the toll exemption provision of the Panama Canal Act.
 Tn a statement issued by Senator RansdeH,, of Louisiana. president of the congress, and s. A. Thompson, secretary, an appeal is made to it's members and to commercial organiza- tions asking that they flood" their mennbers of Congress and Senators with protests against the repeal of the exemption clause.
 The statement says the effort to se- cure the repeal of the provision which exempts, American coastwise vessels from tolls Is likely to succeed unless those who are opposed to the Iegis- lation, which is in the interest of Great Britain, and the trans-contin- enta1 railways, rather than of the American people, shall enter prompt and energetic protest

 And Feathers.

Washington, March 16-Miss Elea- nor Wilson, fiancee of William G. Mo Adoo, Secretary of the Treasury, ad- nits she loves weddings with fuss and feathers and intends to have one of that kind.
 Although President Wilson and Mrs Wilson hope to make the cere- mony as simple as their position will allow it is generally believed tEat the ceremony will be more elaborate and more largely attended than the mar riage last November of Miss Jessie Wilson and F.

 It is quite assured that the heads of the embassies and legations of for eign governments represented at Washington will be invited, togeth CT with the members of theNCabinet and the Supreme Court In case there will 5be larger number of Washing ton residents invited. It is believed the ceremony will, take place. early in June
 The ring which Secretary McAdoo has given Miss Wilson is one of the handsomest engagement rings ever seen in Washington 1t is q huge white diamond solitage, in an old fashioned claw setting,l engraved in the black Naturally. Miss Wilson refused to tell what. inscription was on the inside
 Now that the friends of Miss Will son and Secretary McAdoo have seen the engagement ring they are insist ent on knowing just when the wed- ding will take place and who will make up the bridal party. Uhdoubt- edly Mrs. -Sayre will be her sisters matron of honor and Miss Margaret Wilson and Miss Mona McAdoo will be the bridesmaids.
 It has even been suggested that ow- ing to the warm friendship that ek- ists between the bride to-be and Miss Eallie McAdoo. the young daughter of the Secretary, Miss Sallie. McAdoo will also be one of the wedding party, acting in the capacity of ring bearer or flower girl

CANADIAN LAND
RUSH RESPONSIBLE
Americans Who Took up Claims There
Relinquished citizenship Here
and Are Now Aliens.

The following from the Davenport
Democrat sheds much light on much
discussed question:
Several years ago, when the land
rush too Canada was at its height,
many citizens of the United States
went to the northern country, where
they took up claims In order to take
up claim on English soil, it was re-
quired that a person must be citi-
zen of that country. Many persons
who at that time were citizens Of the
United States, then took out English
papers and became subjects Of the
English king.
Recently many of these people re-
turned to the United States, thinking
that they were still citizens. Many OF
them were disappointed to discover
that although they were born in this
country, they were no longer citizens
on account of having taken out Eng
lish papers.
ION account Of the many Inquiries
which have been received by Harry j.
Mcfarland, clerk of the district
court, Mr.. Mcfarland sent word to the
naturalization examiner, asking for
some information regarding such
cases.
"A letter was received by Mr.. Nc
Farland this morning, saying that
these persons must live in the United
states FIVE consecutive years before
they can file declaration of inten-
ton of becoming citizen Of the
United States. This declaration of in
tention must be filed at least two years
prior to the time that the naturaliza-
ton papers, commonly called second
rapers, can be taken out. They must
also have proper references that they
were born in this country. The law
regarding these people, however, is
about the same as that Of any person
who was not born on United States
soil.''

Upper Mississippi River Improvement
4 Association Will Hold 1915 Gath
erIns There According to
Decision.
SEEKING BARGE LINES
Conference Has Been Called for De-
cember 2 With Shippers and
Transportation Companies
Present.

The executive committee OF the Up
per Mississippi River Improvement as
sociation has named Quincy as the
meeting place for the next convention
which will be held October 10 and a,
1915. The committee met at Daven-
port to discuss the questions which
were brought before it.
The committee has served notice
that If any responsible freight trans
portation companies are willing to
operate barge line on the river, the
association will give them the fullest
measure of moral support. The execu-
tive council was directed to ascertain
If any such barge lines might be Sc
cured.
On suggestion Of G. F. Perry and
L. B. Boswell. representatives from
Quincy, a conference between the
freight shippers along the upper river
and representatives OF the Transports
ton companies. both those doing bust
ness now and those in prospect. has
been called for December 2, at a place
to be designated by President Wilkin-
son. Accordingly invitations will be
sent out to the shippers and to the
transportation companies to send rep
resentatives to the conference, and 1t
is hoped by the members Of the asso-
citation that this step will lead to bet
trement OF conditions for shipment OF
freight by river, by the establishment
of transportation systems whereby
freight may be shipped by water be-
tween ports on the upper Mississippi
without break of bulk, and by suitable
craft running on schedule time, thus
giving the shippers of the upper river
a chance to reap their share OF the
benefits accruing from the prospective
increase OF South American trade
which is bound to come upon the com
pletfon Of the Panama canal.

How Thin People
Can Put On Flesh
A New Discovery.

Thin men and women-that big,
hearty, filling dinner you ate last
night. What became of all the fat
producing nourishment 1t contained?
You haven't gained in weight one
ounce. That food passed from your
body like unburned coal through an
open CRATE. The material was there,
but your food doesn't work and stick,
and the plain truth, is you hardly get
enough nourishment from your meals
to pay for the cost OF cooking. This
is true Of thin folks the world over
Your nutritive organs, your functions
OF assimilation, are sadly out of gear
and need reconstruction.
Cut out the the foolish foods and
funny sawdust diets. Omit the flesh
cream rub-ons. Cut out everything
but the meals you are eating now and
eat with every one OF those single
difference. Five to eight good solid
pounds Of healthy, stay there at
should be the net result. Sargol
charges your weak, stagnant blood
with millions of fresh new red blood
corpuscles-8ivss the blood the car
rying power to deliver every ounce OF
fat-making material in your food to
every part Of your body. Sargol, too,
mixes with your food and prepares 1t
for the blood in easily assimilated
form. Thin people gain all the way
from 10 to 25 pounds month while
taking Sargol, and the new flesh stays
put. Sargol tablets are q scientific
combination of six of the best flesh
producing elements known to chem
istry. They come 40 tablets to a
package. are pleasant, harmless and
inexpensive, and Wilkinson & Co. and
all other druggists in Keokuk and
vicinity sell them subject to an abso-
lutte guarantee of weight increase or
money back.
