YOU CAN'T EAT
APPETITE POOR

Multitudes OF people lose their
appetite. Simply don't care for any
thing to eat The dinner bell has no
interest to them. They loathe their
breakfast. They may nibble q little
Of this and little Of that, but they
do not care for 1t.
Lunch has lost all Of It's charms,
although they try to eat something.
Dinner about the same.
There is something positively
wrong. Of course, but no disease that
can be named. Just out OF sorts.
That il ALL
It is In this kind Of q condition
that Peruna acts very beneficially.
After using Peruna, interest In food
10 revived. Beginning with q tea
spoonful Of Peruna before each meal
will generally quickly improve the
appetite and help the digestion.
Thousands Of people can testify to
this. Liberated from a slavery that is
almost unbearable. The slavery of
having no interest in life. All used
up. Yet one does not know exactly
why. Take Peruna before each meal.
Skies will get blue again. Fields will
look green once more and life will
be pleasant. You will feel that you
are good for something and the world
10 a good place to live in. Peruna
will do It. Not as an artificial slim
appetite In natural way.
Those who object 20 liquid msdf.

DECK HANDS STRIKE

que, after having missed two round
trips in the st. Louis K eokuk- Burling-

o'clock Wednesday evening, and did
not get away until about o'clock in
the morning. 1t was scheduled to get
away at 1880 o'clock Wednesday night
but was quite late because of heavy
run of freight and lack of sufficient
help to move the stun. The deckhands,
it is understood, struck at st. Louis
for more pay. but the Streckfus peo-
Pile, feeling they were paying all they
could afford, refused to accede to
their demands and instead, are trying
to pick up new hands at upper river
points. Several were hired here and
more were to be engaged at keokuk
and Burlington. The boat is also
likely to be little late on the down
trip.
The steamer Quincy was due here
at $50 o'clock Thursday morning on
that boats first trip of the year in
the ST. Louis-St Paul trade, but was
reported five hours late and was not
expected to arrive until about
O'Clock or perhaps later. The steam

ROBBERS INVADE
FRED HENRY'S HOME
Sandman Who 10 Playing Here, Has
Unpleasant Surprise Awaiting
Him

Des Moines Tribune: Burglars en-.
tered the home of T. Fred Henry,
171O Woodland avenue, last night and
wen: through every room of the house
with the single exception of the one
in which Mrs Henry was sleep
sleeping, without waking the occu-
pants. 1t was discovered this morn
ing that large amount of iewelry,
clothes, laces, curtains, a revolver, a
$40 hand bag and other articles had
been taken. According 30 Mrs. Henry,
no valuation has been placed upon the
stolen articles as yet.
The burglary was one of the bold
est that has come to the notice of the
Des Moines police in months. The
robbers made entry into the house by
way Of side window which was no.
over twenty feet from another house
in which several persons were sleep
ing by open windows and might easily
have detected the person or persons
entering the window of the Henry
home. The burglars made thorough
search of the house. ransacking every
room with the exception of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henrys bedroom.
When she arose early this morning
Mrs. Henry found every dresser draw
er opened and clothes s.rewn about
the floor. Silverware was scattered
in the dining room and much OF it was
missing. Her jewel case had been
taken which contained valuable
diamond stick pin, gold locket and
chain and gold bracelet.
City detectives were detailed to
work on the case and reached the
Henry home soon after the robbery
was discovered but It is not thought
that they have any clue as to the
identity of the house providers.
Owing to the increasing number or
burglaries and highway robberies in
Des Moines 1t is understood tina. Chief
