Thin People
Can Increase Weight

Thin men and women who would
like to increase their weight with 10
or IS pounds of healthy stay there"
fat should try eating little sargol
with their meals for while and note
results. Here is a good test worth
irving, First weigh yourself and meas
ure Yourself. Then take Sargol-one
tablet with every meal-for two
weeks Then weigh and measure
again. 1t isn't a question of how you
look or feel or what your friends say
and think. The scales and the tape
measure will tell their own story, and
most any thin man or woman can cas-
ily add from five to eight pounds In
the firts fourteen days by following
this simple direction. And best Of all,
the new flesh stays put.
sargol does not of itself make fat,
but mixing with your food, it turn
the fats, sugars and starches of what
YOU have eaten, into rich, ripe fat pro-
ducjng nourfshment for the tissues
and blood-prepares 1t in an easily
assimilated form which the blood can
readily accept. All this nourishment
now passes from your body as waste.
But Sargol stops the waste ana does
II quickly and makes the fat produc-
ing contents Of the very same meals
YOU are eating now develop poun is
and pounds of healthy flesh between
YOUR skin and bones. Sargol Is safe,
pleasant, efficient and inexpensive.
wilkinson & Co. and other LEADING
druggists in Keokuk ana vicinity sell
II in large boxes-forty tablets to
package--on a guarantee of weight
increase or money back.

ARE TALKING SITE

Fort Madison Gem City: At a spe-
cial meeting of the stockholders of the
new shoe factory, about to locate In
Fl. Madison. held Saturday evening In
the Commercial club room, the Pople-
Giller building at the corner Of Union
and Santa Fe avenues was selected.
The manager Of the factory from Chi
cago was present at the meeting and
expressed his views on the subject,
stating that he believed that this
place would be the most suitable one.
After hearing his remarks the
stockholders decided in favor Of that
building as the site of the new fac
tory. However, a committee consist
ing of A. w. Smith, Geo. Naegel, and
Ernest Burster was appointed to act
with the manager to look at other
buildings and make report. Before
leaving, the manager stated that he
thought the aforementioned structure
was the most suitable and 1t is gen.

Her Death Occurred at the Family
Home on North Eleventh Street
After a Long
Illness.
WAS BORN IN GERMANY
Came to This Country When Young
Girl, Located In keokuk
Where She Has Since w..
Resided.

Mrs. Anna Margaret Waterman, 21l
North Eleventh street, who had been
resident here for many years. died
at her home at about o'clock yester'
day after long illness. Her husband
J. G. Waterman. who was an old resi-
dent here and at one time a success
tul business man Of the city, died
about five years ago, and nearly ever
since Mrs. Waterman, while not con-
fined to her bed, had been in declin-
ing health and under the physicians
care. Recently she grew worse. and
last Wednesday morning fell from her
couch to the floor, dislocating her
shoulder and this injury and the shock
attending It seemed to have fastened
her death.
When girl or very young woman
she came to Keokuk from her native
German home and located in Keokuk.
Her maiden name was Anna Margaret
Graf, and on October 80, 1860, she was
married to John G. Waterman who
died five years ago the 9th Of June,
since which time she continued her
residence here. She was regular
attendant at the St. Paul German
Evangelical church, but Of late years
her continued illness prevented her
giving her usual earnest presence at
these devotional services.
Mrs. Watrman was quiet woman
who spent most Of her time in the
retirement Of the home circle. She
was a devoted wife, kind mother
and loyal neighbor, though giving
little attention to the conventionalities
of social life Those who knew her
best, had the kindliest feeling for her
and knew the warm impulses which
moved her.
She is survived by three daughters
and two sons, Mrs. w. N. McCourtney
of st. Louis, Mrs. H. H. Jingst or
Keokuk, Miss Katharine Waterman OF
Keokuk and George and William Wat
erman Of st. Louis.
The funeral 1t is expected will &C.

ing much relief in a score of faces.
The OFFICIAL Checker.
And then there is the man who fur
nishes considerable amusement for
the bulletin scanners by putting a
check at the top of the last bulletin
which he has read. He apologies for
marking up the dispatches in this
way by saying that he sometimes for
gets where he left off, if he doesn't
make the check. His colleagues call
him the Official checker"
The method adopted by The Gate
City for giving the public access to
its complete report Of the war within
minute OF the time that the rafting
telegraph instrument in the editorial
room writes It Id brassy tones, is a
great success. Hundreds of Keokuk
people are regular attendants at this
town meeting in + front of The Gate
CITY office. Most of the business men
now go to store, Office and home via
Sixth street in ordersto read the news
en- route
There is little expression of prefer
ence as between the warning sides,
but the general sentiments seems to
be that the best man will win, and 1t
is too early to talk about results yet.

briskly up to the board. reads all the

is WHAT PEOPLE WANT
Requests for This Diversion Have
Been Frequent and Time ID Come
to Show Appreciation
Of Efforts.
keokuk is again to have band con-

keokuk is again to have band con
certs.
This announcement will be of much
interest to the local people who have
been wishing for continuation of the
municipal musical programs such as
were played in the past seasons wher
the regimental band which was sta
toned in Keokuk gave such high class
concerts.
On next Sunday afternoon the frs
OF these concerts by the Citizens banC
is to be given in Rand park. It will
be sacred concert, lasting two hours
The music will commence at 2:3(
O'Clock.
There has been general agitation
from time to time for a revival OF the
band concerts. They were always
popular and the people Of Keokul
very generously patronized and ap
plauded the musicians in their efforts
to give programs which were worth
while. For a number Of years the
city has been without any organiza
ton like the Citizens band.
Now, however, that it is well or
ganized and has fine quota Of music
ians in it's roll, the citizens Of Keokul
should show their appreciation of the
efforts of the band and its hustline
manager, Ed. S. Lotion, to give the
PEOPLE something they have been
asking for for some time.
The concert next Sunday will be
entirely of sacred music and will be
given in beautiful Rand park. The
band will use the old band stand in the
center of the park, and there will be
benches provided for the people.
This concert will be followed by a
second concert the following Sunday
also at the park, ana which will be q
sacred concert as well. People will
have an opportunity to hear some
fine music at these concerts and doubt
less there will be good crowds out
both Sundays.
