one OF the early babies born In Lee
county. Her parents. Mr.. and Mrs.
w. D. Prouty, were among the genuine
pioneers of the county, and Valeria
was one of fifteen children born to
this worthy couple. She was born
ten miles north Of Keokuk, and has
never moved out OF the vicinity OF
the lower county seat Both her
father and mother came from families
prominent in the early days of south
eastern Iowa. Her mother was a ma
tive Hawkeye
Now. both father and mother have
passed away many years ago, and
MRS. Smith is the only surviving one
of the nfteen children. An aunt.
Mrs. Maria Pickering. prominent
resident Of Charleston, Is also the
only surviving member of her branch
of the family, once SO prominent in
this section OF the state.

Here Is Good News
for Stomach Victims

Some very remarkable results are
being obtained by treating stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles with pure
vegetable oils, which exert a cleansing,
soothing and purifying action upon the
lower bowels, removing the distractions
of poisonous focal matter and gases and
preventing their absorption by the blood.
This done, the food is allowed free pas
sage from the stomach, fermentation
ceases and stomach troubles quickly dis
appear.
George H. Mayr, for twenty years a
leading Chicago druggist, cured himself
and many of his friends of stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles of years
standing by this treatment, and SO sue
cessful was the remedy he devised that
it has since been placed in the hands of
druggists all over the country, who have
sold thousands of bottles.
Though absolutely harmless, the eff
feet of the medicine is sufficient to con-
vince any one of its remarkable effect
ivcness, and within "a hours the sufferer
feels like a new person. Mayr's Won
derful Stomach Remedy is now sold here
by
For sale in Keokuk by Wilkinson 6
Co.. 422 Main St, and druggists every
where.

Disco. ored or Spotty
Skin Easily Peeled OFT

The freckling, discoloring or rough
ening to which most skins are SUB.
1ect at this season, may readily be
gotten rid of. Mercolized wax, spread
lightly over the face before retiring
and removed in the morning with
soap and water, completely peels off
the disfigured skin. Get an ounce OF
the wax at any druggists. There's no
more effective way of banishing tan,
freckles or other cutaneous defects.
Little skin particles come off each

temporarily mar the complexion,
and one acquires brand new, spot.

Wrinkles caused by weather, wor-

hazel. Bathing the face in this pro-
duces truly marvellous transforma-
ton.

PARIS WILL NOT
NOPE DURING WAR
Tho French Still Laugh and Smile
While the Able Bodied. Men
Are at tho Front.
by William Phillip Simms, United
IN

by William Phillip Simms, United
Press STAFF Correspondent
PARIS, Aug. IL (by mail to New
York).-Gay Paree, Never has the
French capital so we'll deserved her
reputation as now. The Paris Of war
times is surely not the Paris Of peace
times, but Paris is Just the same and
more happy go lucky than ever.
The people left behind here are
smiling. Tables and chairs on the
sidewalks, the Frenchiest of French
institutions have been abolished in
conformity with the state Of siege. but
inside the restaurants and cafes, the
merry throng continues to sit and sip
its favorite Enthusiastically soft"
one, and swap funny stories. A Mari
tan dropping to earth at this particu-
lar spot would never guess that there
isn't home in France without it's
soldier at the front, for these people
simply refuse to sit about and brood.
Alphonz is sixty years old and is
consequently too old to go to the war.
His pal is the same age and the serv-
ices he has volunteered have been re-
fused.
MY son." says CASTOR, who is quite
rich, writes me he is having q hot
time at the 'front.'"
Indeed, and what is he doing?
his cronnie asks.
He's the company cook" replies
CASTOR, laughing over his joke.
His son is a social lion and he can
picture him playing kitchen mechanic
near the firing line.
Gaston's Joke is good one, but his
companion chuckles in a way that
indicates he has one, too.
What do you think" he finally
says, you know Jean, the butcher.
He has Joined the colors."
"Mais non," exclaimed CASTOR 81
thought he had been refused because
too fat"
"Oh but they took him in the aux
iliary," comes the reply. Hes the
company barber"
Whereupon the two cronies with
sons and grandsons in trenches fac
ing German shrapnell, bullets and
bayonets II not already dead on the
field of battle, laugh softly but heart
lily and sip their syrup of granadine.
The French will not NOPE.
Paris keeps her temper and her
ga1ety but she is vastly different from
the Paris Americans know. The only
way of getting about is by taxicab or
horsecab, the famous auto buses hav-
ing disappeared the first day of mob
ilizat1on. Bicycles are at a premium
and many a gray bearded American
may be seen pedaling through the
streets. Theatres have been closed.
Many have been offered to the govern
ment for whatever use they may be
put to. The Grand Palais, just of the
Champs Elysee, where the great art
exhibitions take place annually, as
well as the horse show, automobile
show and aviation exhibition is used
as a "hotel' to house soldiers as they
pass through Paris on their way to
the front.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1914-08-25

MORE EXCITING THEN

Of Enemy's
Attack.

Yes, l expect to see great many
changes in Fort Madison. It has
been a long time since l have been
there" A slender lady in black,
seated beside young girl on north
bound Burlington train this morning,

You see," she explained. 81
haven't been in Fort Madison since
1861, the first year Of the war. l was
only a little girl then, but remember
the trip quite distinctly. came up
to Fort Madison from Keokuk on an
excursion of some sort with my pa.
rents. I was really frightened after
starting, for they locked the doors OF
the train and ran very slowly for fear
the tracks would be torn up some
where by the enemy"
1t was Mrs. Valeria Smith, one OF
the pioneers of Lee county who was
speaking. She was coming to Fort
Madison from her life long home near
keokuk to visit her daughter. Mrs

AS the train pulled into the station,
Mrs. Smith, and Dorothy Carmichael
the young girl with her, alighted and
were met by Mrs. Smiths daughter.
One Of the things Mrs. Smith re.

Fort Madison was trip through the
old state prison, then a very different
institution from the fine, modern pen

CONSTRUCTION WANTED
This ls the Method Which Law A.
lows for Rectifying Careless
ness on Part Of
Testator.

Be accurate when you make your
will.
A petition lately filed in the dis.
trict court at Fort Madison, seeking
an oficial construction Of the will OF
the late Isaac L. Marsh, exemplif1es
the enormous amount of technical red
tape which is necessary to correct the
mistakes OF single letter in a will.
Even where an error is palpable on
the casual reading Of a will the Iowa
testamentory law prohibits the correc.
ton Of that error through legal pro.
cess. The correction is secured, how
ever, through the loophole which al
lows Judge to give construction on
the questionable matter in the light
OF circumstances. and conditions I'M
der which the will was made. Hence
the present case is brought in the
form of request that the intent of
the testator be considered.
The trouble lay in the fact that
the deceased had willed something
which he did not have, and left I'M
bequeathed something which cores
pended with the bequest.
Isaac Marsh died in 1912. His will
stated that he left to Wesley Marsh
'the east half OF the southwest quar-
ter of section IL, Washington town

Lost Creek, running through said
land
In section II the deceased had
owned no such described land, Meth

deceased did, however, own strip
