VALUE OF SMALL
SAVINGS IS seen
Keokuk National Bank Pays $4,000
to $50 Members OF Its Christmas
Savings Club Which is
Year Old.
START WITH ONE CENT
Cards pay Out in Varying Amounts
Dependant In Money Which is
Put In BY the
Depositor.

Eight hundred and fifty people in
Keokuk saved a penny, two pennies
or nickel week for forty-six weeks
and on December 10. the Keokuk Ma
tional bank mailed checks to the total
OF $4,000 to these depositors. They
were members Of the Christmas Saw
ings club. The value OF small savings
is shown in this club very clearly.
The result OF this systematic saw
ing is shown right now in the Christ
mas trade. Merchants who in former
years carried people on charge ac-
counts. say that they are now receiv-
ing cash, since the Keokuk Nationals
checks have been sent out to the
members OF this club Some people
are going to make their entire list of
Christmas presents from this check
which represents very small amour,
OF savings each week, but which in
the aggregate, with interest allowed
at three per cent, amounts to sur
prising sum.
John A. Dunlap. cashier of the Keo-
kuk National, gave some interesting
statistics on the club. The smallest
amount paid out was four cents. The
largest check was for $5477. The
four cent check happened in this man
ner. A woman deposited money on
the Christmas savings club card twice
when her death occurred. The check
for the amolnt deposited was mailed
along with the others.
The idea is to save a stated amount
each week. It is optional whether
one starts with the highest sum, and
decreases the deposit each week, or
starts with the smallest and increases
the deposit One cent cards, that is
one cent the first week, two cents the
second week and So on, pays out $1O.94
cents. Two cent cards pay $21.S9 and
FIVE cent cards pay out $54.77.
The club gives additional money
available for use by the bank. as will
readily be seen. At the same time
the accounts draw some interest. It
is planned this year to make the time
the entire fifty weeks.
This is the first time the club has
been tried here, and is decided sue
cess as will be seen In comparison
with Burlington. This is the third
year there, and with much larger
city to draw from, only $4,000 was
paid for the Christmas club there
this year, 1t is understood.

IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Baekache is sign you have been
eating too much
meat.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they
become sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells:
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine Is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels
often get sore, water scalds and you
are obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable ply
stefan at once or get from your phar-
macist about four ounces Of Jad
Salts: take tablespoonful in glass
Of water before breakfast for few
days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid Of grapes and lemon Juice,
combined with lithia. and has been
used for generations to clean and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize acids in the urine SO It no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regu-
lar meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive,
cannot injure and makes a delightful,
effervescent Whitewater drink.

Seattle, Wash. The tower rises $50
feet above street level, and is so con-
splcuous that it is already being used

for this use night and day. The build
ing covers a lot that is lOSNl2O feet.
The main structure is q stories high.
and to this the tower adds u stories.
In addition to this there are two stories

equivalent to ~ stories. The founda.
tion rests on 1876 concrete piles driven
to depth of SO feet below the surface.
In building the foundation 1000 barrels

LIGHTNING CAUSES
MANY FOREST FIRES

Exhaustive inquiry las established
the fact that lightning ranks next TO
railroads as a source OF forest fires.
Forest officials say that the increasing
care with fire on the part Of railroads
and the public generally tends to make
lightning the largest single contribut-
ing cause.
This statement represents a change
Of view from that held less than a de-
csde ago in this country, when forest
journals gravely argued whether light
ming caused forest fires, though II was
known that trees we're the objects most
often struck. Trees are said to be
oftenest struck simply because they
are so numerous, and extending up
ard they shorten the distance between
the ground and the clouds; further,
their branches In the air and roots well
into the earth invite electrical dis
charges.
While certain trees are said to invite
lightning, and others to be immune
from stroke, il seems to be fact that
any kind of tree will be struck, and
the most numerous tree species in any
locality is the one most likely to suffer,
Other things being equal, Lightning
seeks the talIest tree, or an isolated
tree, or one on high grounds. A deep
rooted tree is a better conductor than
shallow-rooted one, and tree full of
sap, or wet with rein, is of course
better conductor than dry one.
Lightning sets fires by igniting the
tree itself, particularly when it is dead,
or partly decayed and punky, or by
igntng the dry humus or duff at its
base. The forest soil, when dried out,
ignites readily, because it is made of
partly decayed twigs and leaves, and it
can hold a smoudering fir for consid-
cradle period. 1t is probable that most
Of the lightning fires start in the duff.
In the mountains of southern Cali
fornia, Arizona and New Mexico there
are likely to be each year number of
electrical disturbances known as dry
thunder storms. They come at the
end of the long dry season. and being
unaccompanied by rain are very likely
to start many serious fires. For this
reason the forest service has to keep
up its maximum fire fighting strength
in those regions until the rains are
fully established In the plans and or
ganization for fire fighting service aims
particularly to catch these unprevent-
able lightning set fires at the time they
start.
