The Proposed New School Buildings
and the Tax Payer.
To the Editor OF The Gate City:
In consid ering the proposition OF
erecting new school buildings. voters
should carefully weigh the conditions
Of the city Of Keokuk It Is true that
as city we are carrying q debt OF
over $219,142.11 and in addition to
this there is large additional amount
resting upon individuals as special
tax for street improvements. sewer
tax, etc.
We are also carrying large bond
ed county debt Of over $2S3, 100000 and
large school debt, no one seems to
know exactly how much. The adCi-
ton of another $95,000.0O or more
bonded debt will largely increase our
indebtedness, making say about 5000
for each inhaOitant OF our city. or a
d sbt of about $4,000 upon each pro
ductive male laborer Of the city. This
sum IS too great to saddle upon each
earning male citizen Of the city at
this time and this is not good time
to vote an additional bonded debt
upon ourselv ss. 1t is entirely unneces-
sary, the situation does not warrant
or demand it.
It has been proven by compel ant
authority that our school buildings
are good and substantial buildings and
are perfectly safe buildings. It has
also been pointed out to our school
board by equally competent authority.
a method OF making them perfectly
fire proof at very small expense,
which suggestion the board has ignor-
ed, paid no attention to. II single
person is injured by fire in any OF
our school buildings 1t is the school
board who should be held responsible
and who are to blame for their delay
and neglect in not Immediately de-
taching the heating plant from every
school building in the city. This Is
an improvement that would be com
mended by every one here and else
where.

Fighting Disease Germs

There is a popular idea that most
sickness is caused by a germ of the
disease finding entrance to our bodies
through the food we eat, the water or
milk we drink or the air we breathe.
This is true as far as it goes, but 1t is
also true that disease germs are enter
ing our bodies every day without caus-
ing disease.
The reason for this is that there are
forces within the body that are con-
stantly fighting these disease germs
and it is only when this defense is
weakened that the germs get the upper
hand and we become ill., One of the
most powerful of these forces that
work for health is rich red blood.
Good, healthy blood increases the re-
sstance of the body to the diseases
that are always threatening. 1t is
easier to keep up this resistance by
taking DR.. Williams Pink Pills, eating
proper food, avoiding articles of food
that do not agree with us and getting
plenty of fresh air day and night,
than it is to cure disease after 1t gets
foothold. Keep up the resistance of
your body to disease by these tonic
pills, which you can get at any drug
store. and you will avoid much sick
ness.
Two, booklets, Building Up the
Blood" and What to Eat and How
to Eat" will be sent free by the DIR.

BOARD Of TRADE TO
HELP W|LL|AMSTOW|v
Business and Professional Men in
Mining Town Combine to En-
courage New Industries
Special TO The Telegraph

Williamstown, Pa, July 15.-At
meeting of the citizens of Williams
town, a Board of Trade was organized
by the election of the following Off
GERS: President, S. S. Straub, super
intendent of traction company; first
vice-president, william Retallick, of
the Susquehanna Coal Company; Sec
iond vice-president, David Watkeys'
mine foreman; treasurer, j. q
Thompson. general merchant, and sec
retary, J.. R. Hancock, clothier.
Williamstown is a thriving borough
in the central part of Williams Val
ley, in upper Dauphin county. and
we'll known as the place where is pro-
'duced the famous Lykens Valley an
thracite coal. The borough and town
ship have population of about 5000,
mostly of German, Irish and Welsh
descent. 1t has a plentiful supply OF
good mountain water, which as re-
suit of a recent analysis, was pro-
nounced to be 100 per cent pure. Its
principal industry is mining, about
1,400 men and boys being employed
in and about the mines. There are
also two hosiery mills, and one trou-
ser factory, giving employment to
about 500 people. AS for railroad ia
cilities it is admirably situated, being
served both by the Pennsylvania and
the Philadelphia and Reading. An
electric railway operates throughout
the entire valley, a distance of about
twelve miles. Light and power is fur
nished by the Sterling Consolidated
Electric Company and the Williams
town Gas Company is at present en-
gagged in laying its mains throughout
the town.
The object of the Board of Trade is
to encourage new industries, or those
looking for a new field of operation,
to locate in the thriving borough, and
to offer inducements and concessions
to any such legitimate industries. A
general publicity committee will issue
circulars in the near future making
further announcements.
