A Doctors First
Question Is
"How Are Your Bowels?" A
Simple Remedy that Guar
antees Good Bowel Action.

Trace the origin OF the common er
Ills Of HE and almost Invariably you
will find that constipation was the
cause. It is not to be expected that a
mass OF fermented food can remain In
the system beyond its time without
vitiating the blood and affecting tho
nerves and muscles. It congests the
entire body.
The results are colds, fevers, piles,
headaches and nervousness, with its
accompanying indigestion and sleep
lessness. There Is only one thing to
do, and that is to remove the trou-
BILE; and when nature seems unable
to do It, outside aid is necessary. You
Will find the best Of all outside aids a
remedy that many thousands are now
using for this very purpose, called DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Many hun
dreds Of letters are received by DR..
Caldwell telling Of the good results
obtained, and among the enthusiastic
letters Is one from Lieutenant g. w.

Local Military Machine Expects to be
Called on to Recruit toiWar
Strength at Any
Moment.
IOWA GUARDS CERTAIN
Will be In the First Division to Fol-
low the Regulars II Orders
Are Given Tor 4;
Invasion.

Company L is expecting orders at
any moment to recruit to war strength
and to be ready to report.
Captain Richardson said this morn
ing that he expected that orders to
this effect would be received here
before the day was over. Company l.
members are ready to go, and it is
believed that II the orders came, the
company would be put on war footing
and could go within three or four
days from the time the first order
was issued.
Members of Company l. have been
anxious to go ever since there was
any hint Of trouble breaking out 1t
is more than probable that they will
get their wish. The Iowa guard is
considered one of the finest in the
service, and 1t will be one Of the first
divisions to follow the regular army
in case the operations call for an in
vestment OF the country with an arm
ed force.
/ dispatch from Washington says
that all organized military companies
will be called out In case war is de-
clared. Another Washington press
dispatch intimates that the Iowa ma
tional guard will see plenty of SER
vice in case Huerta does not yield.
This dispatch follows:
The Iowa national guard may ex-
pect to see active service in case
Huerta does not yield to the demands
of President Wilson to offer proper
apology Inquiry has been made In
high quarters as to the scope OF the
military operations which are to be
expected in case of war with Mexico.
While the first step will be to seize
Tampico. Vera Cruz and other points,
the general belief here is that such a
step will cause all Mexicans to unite
against this country. That will mean
, a heavy operation of troops.
Army men realize that II this coun-
try really goes into Mexico it would
require a big force for pacihcation.
That is, after the campaigning would
come what would amount to policing.
Mexico would have to be kept IN order
until there could be stable govern
ment established Probably all the
present available standing army In this
country and all the national guard
and probably volunteers in addition
would be called out. The Iowa guard
is ranked as one Of the finest in the
service, and II war comes. Its mem
beers would be likely to get all the
hard service they want.
War talk was really rife In keokuk
i last night and today. There Is no
doubt but that If a call for volunteers
ia issued. the response from the men
OF Keokuk will be generous one.
Volunteer companies may be formed,
as in the days of the spanisf-Ameri'
can war, when the Company A re-
serves were organized and were
ready for service.

Deputy MARGINAL Twenty Years.

Richards is so years old. He was
for twenty years deputy United
States marshal and has served seven
and one-ha1f years Of twenty-year
sentence in the state prison at Fort
Madison for burglary.
"If 7 had been CRATER instead OF
an honest man, perhaps I would not
have a prison record" continued the
convicted man. But I always tried
t. deal fairly with my fellow men
and the reward 1 received was the
stigma Of felon.
During the time was at Fort Mad
ison I saw 1900 broken hearted men
leave the prison walls and 1,2eo
brought in. To say that 1900 men
left the prison happy would be a
falsehood. I venture to assert that
not one of them was happy man.
They went out with revenge in their
hearts for the men who released
them. - - .......
Say what you please for the board
OF parole, but I tell you it does less
for the betterment of society than
any institution know Of. Instead OF
assisting prisoner to do good it
makes him want to continue Grim

Stunning Of TWO Horses in Barn Yes

TO INVOKE PENALTY
Endeavor Will be Made 10 Secure the
Arrest Of Fire Starter

Started.

The burning Of two fine horses in
the barn belonging to E. H. .Loewen-
stein early Sunday morning, brief
mention OF which was made in yester-
days Gate City, has aroused friends
and neighbors of Archie #. Mccoy,
owner OF the animals. to action. 1t
is almost certain that the barn was
fred by some one who had a person
al grievance against Mr.. Mccoy. An
endeavor will be made to interest the
Anti-Horse Thief society in the case.
Mr.. Mccoy who is crippled with
rheumatism, was dependent upon these
two horses to furnish him the means
OF making living. His neighbors
are up in arms over the evident re-
venge, and are taking prompt action
to furnish Mr.. Mccoy with substantial
means of relief.

pose the committee which this morn
ing was out soliciting funds which will
be used to help Mr.. MCCOY Any con-
tributions people care to make will be
received with thanks, and il persons
who wish to make contributions will
telephone Black-464 or notify either
member of the committee, they will
call for such contributions.
To man in Mr.. McCoy's circum-
stances the loss OF the two horses is
I heavy blow. His friends believe that
IL will not be hard matter to catch
the parties who set the barn on fire,
and 1t is promised that they will be
summarily dealt with. 1t was learned
today from what is believed to be
an authentic source, that Mr.. Mccoy
has been threatened. and 1t is gener-
ally believed by his neishbors that
this was the result OF the threat. Any
help that may be offered in this mat
Ter will be appreciated.
The prompt action of the fre de
par&ment WIS much appreciated by
Mr.. Loewenstein. There was no IN
surance carried on the barn. Besides
the horses, several sets of harness and
some vehicles were destroyed.
