The two words above form the mot

tan Association.
lieve in four-fod man, that is, it Is
their opinion that evry man has four
sides to his nature, physical, mental.
social and spiritual. and it is their
endeavor by combined effort, to pro-
mote this four-fold development In
the lives Of their members, everyone
giving and taking in order that they
may all be four square.
|. 1t is probabl1 'IIay the majority Of
young men have n Abundance Of So
cial spirit, yet there are in every
crowd, q goodly number who seem to
be under-developed along this line
and when they come in contact with
those who have. some. to spare. they
overcome this. It is tho object,
therefore. Of the association to make
the social life, and its members such
that they San will enjoy themselves
abundantly and come to he men who
shall know how to enjoy mixing
with their fellows.
The association ii building is ar
ranged with the idea in mind, and
with its large, well-furnished recep-
ton room, containing easy chairs,
settees, piano, ETC.. it is the most In
viting place for a. good time with
your friends. In the game room,
chess, checker and pool tournaments
will be conducted during the fall and
winter months.
Empty rooms, however, do not
make social life. It is the aim OF the
association to make its various &C
tiyities contribute to good fellow
ship. The association has Its annual
membership dinner and social events
Of all kinds are arranged, both sum
mer and winter, to meet the desires
OF groups Of men as they are made
known. On holidays, such as Thanks
giving and New Years. special pro
grams are arranged for members and
friends, making the days Of special
interest to hundreds Of young men Of
the city.
During the year an open house so
cal will be held once each month. II
Is therefore to be seen that the So
cial side Of the Young Mems Chris
tan Association is one most attrac'
tive to large numbers of young men
A membership between now and 3 p
M. October 10, makes all this pos
sible. and will give the applicant the

The Keokuk boys in the member

creased speed. Only three more days

the result will then be known and

ment, II they can do no more, and
this word or smile should be sincere
For you know we all love cheerful
giver.
The association special groups ap5
pointed for the purpose, have allowed
no grass to grow under their feet in
this contest which has been carried
on in kind Of whirlwind way and
promises to be still whirl-windier In
the closing days Of the strenuous con-
test. The home stretch will be the
deciding test, and from the present
outlook, Keokuk workers will need
all the aid and assistance they can
possibly command. They certainly
deserve that aid and assistance to a
large degree.
Present Standing.
The following reports came In last
night of the standing OF the different
clubs on yesterdays work.
Burlington, ZIG points; Keokuk,
214; Waterloo. 1853; Ottumwa, 262.
Added to the former totals gives
to Burlington total OF points to
date. 1.271; Keokuk, 1885; Waterloo.
AT; Ottumwa, 1899.
It will be seen that Ottumwa still
leads Keokuk by 1874 points and Bur
lington now has six points the lead
over Keokuk.
II Keokuk gains the victory, these
advantages OF the two leaders must
be overcome and this must be done
in the three days remaining for work.
This can be done and the brave
Keokuk boys declare that it shall be
done. Now let the citizenship Of
Keokuk, men, women and children,
speak that word or smile. II they
feel they can do nothing more. Let
them do all they can. Touch the but
ton and the Y. M. C. A. boys will do

Arnold Rennett,a Yacht.

Possibly for some folk my sloop
Velsa's chief attribute would be that,
once seen, she cannot be forgotten.
She is a lovely object, and not less
unusual than lovely. She is smart,
also, but nothing more dissimilar to
the average smart, conventional Eng
lish or American yacht can well be
conceived. She is a magnet for the
curious. When she goes under & rail-
way bridge while a train is going
over it the engine driver, of no mat
ter what nationality, will invariably
risk the lives of all of his passengers
in order to stare at her until she is
out of sight. This / have noticed
again and again. The finest compli-
ment her appearance ever received
was paid by a schoolboy, who, after
staring at her for a quarter of an
hour as she lay at wharf at Kings
ton-on-Thames, sided timidly up to
me as I leaned in my best maritime
style over the quarter and asked:
Please, sir, is this a training brig?"

DRINK PLENTY OF WATER
individuals Of Every Age Should Re-
member Necessity for Moisture
in the Body.

Individuals differ in their needs, but
the average man requires from quart
to three pints OF water TO drink a day
in addition to the pint which is abb
sorbed in his food Women require
a little less and children little more
than this average. Children should be
encouraged to drink all the water they
want between meals and upon rising
in the morning, but they should be
taught from early childhood not to sip
water between every two mouthfuls OF
food when eating. A glass of water
before beginning to eat is advisable
and refreshing as well, but no one
should form the habit of moistening
the throat with water to- make the
morsels of food slip down Water
taken in advance of a meal is sup
posed to prepare the saliva SO that
there is an abundance OF the latter
which should be thoroughly mixed with
the food before swallowing to make
the food ready for the stomach, and
while many authorities hold that wa
ter taken during the meal is not harm
full, 1t does often become such habit,
especially with children, that one often
sees them fairly unable to swallow a
mouthful without gulp of water to
follow.
Do not let children drink extremely
cold water or water with ice boating
in it. 1t chills the stomach too much,
particularly in hot weather. Keep the
water against the ice. This makes it
plenty cold enough for little folks who
are perfectly satisfied with it at this
temperature until some one is foolish
enough 20 let them have it with ice
Never let child drink a glass of
iced water down quickly. If they are
very hot it is enough to kill them.
There is no harm in allowing g. child
to suck {. piece of ice because the wa
ter meltsl slowly and is fairly off the
chill before it reaches the stomach. To
satisfy e2 IRENE thirst, such.as in fever,
the ice sucking; is preferable fer this
reason.
Teach a child when drinking water
at any time to take long, but slow,
mouthfuls. 1t is not only more salts
flying, but better for the digestion in
every way.

Floral Societies.

Organizations whose members are
interested mainly in promoting the
recognition and general use of one
specific flower are rapidly becoming
numerous. Among these are many
whose official findings are not recog-
nized by higher bodies of unques-
toned authority
Among these is the British Gladiolus
society. Their determinations have
not always met with the approval of
the Royal Horticultural society. One
case in point lies in the former turn
ing down" gladiolus known as Cen
eral Kuroki, grand variety in all
parts of the United States. England.
and in fact, wherever grown. 1t has
been passed by the American GIadi-
olus society as one of high value, and
summer visitors to England declare it
grows equally well there.

In Readiness for War.

One hundred years ago the COVER
nor. of Virginia, alarmed by the APP
pearance of large force of British
in Chesapeake bay, issued orders to
20 regiments of militia to hold them
selves in readiness to march, at a
moments notice, to repel the enemy,
in case of any invasion, or an attempt
to invade the state. The officers were
directed to be vigilant in watching the
enemy, and on the first alarm, in
stantly to proceed to the place of
rendezvous. Let every officer and
soldier" said the order, "be on the
alert. How disgraceful it would be,
If the enemy found us slumbering and
unprepared. Freemen and soldiers
must see the propriety and feel the
Importance of vigilance, bravery and
activity. The officers, mindful of
their sacred trust, will use every ex-
ertion in preparing their men to ac-
quit themselves as become Ameri-
cans"

pEAFNEss CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only pne way to cure
deafness. and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infiamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is infiamed You can hear a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearipg
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the In
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an In
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

TIE most satisfactory wraps for
b demi-season wear are those cut
along the simplest lines And for the
cool days of autumn those Of taffeta
silk will be found appropriate for all
sorts of wear. As taffeta is more pill
able than other weaves Of silks used
for wraps, coats made of it are cut
somewhat shorter than coats OF
heavier materials Plain silks and
satins are often used as a trimming
and for making collars and cuffs on
coats of figured taffeta. And this order
is reversed when figured silks or satins
are used for garnishing plain taffeta.
Among the prettiest OF the wraps de-
veloped with taffeta are those made of
a good quality of this silk in change
able weave. Coats of this kind are
prettiest when finished with collar and
cuffs of velvet. Combinations of dark
green and black, or royal blue and
black, or blue and green, are examples
OF those that are at once brilliant and
elegant The bronze tones are effective,
and all of these can be finished with
collars and cuffs of the predominating
color in the silk or with black velvet.
For dressy wear coats of taffeta are
prettily finished with ruff1es of chiffon,
short capes of lace, or with silk nets.
In the coat shown in the picture given
here the silk is of black taffeta over
which small flower sprays are scat
