COLDS THE MOST DANGEROUS OF THE
MINOR AILMENTS But EASILY CURED
By Far the Most Dangerous Of All Minor Ailments
Not in Themselves But the Dreadful Diseases
Which They So Often Lead To.

A child is much more likely to con
tract diphtheria or scarlet fever when it
has cold. Pneumonia and consump-
ton always start with a cold. Why
take such desperate chances when acold
is easily and quickly cured by Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy, which only costs
a quarter? q
Mrs. Charles Overacre, Manchester,
N. Y, writes, "a year ago last winter
when my boy was sick with cold and
began to cough dreadfully, I gotta bottle
Of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
gave 1t to him according to the direc-
tons. 1t checked the cough promptly
and in few days time all symptoms Of
the cold had disappeared. 1t Is the best

Madame Fannie zeisIer.

The final number of the artist SER
les of concerts will be given Tuesday,
February "a, by Madam Fannie Bloom
field Zeisler, the famous concert
pianist. The name of Fannie Bloom
field Zeisler has stood for the highest
in musical art for nearly quarter Of
q century, as she was quite young
when recognition first came to her.
Each year has seen an increase in
her popularity and she has played in
practically every civilized country of
the globe. Perhaps the pinnacle of her
success has been reached this season
inasmuch as her concert tour this year
has been an actual march OF triumph.
Every city In which she has appeared
this season has Immediately announced
that her playing is greater tbs year
than ever before. This is saying
much as Madam Zeisler has set a high
standard in the past and her recent
European tour was thought to be the
greatest achievement she had ever
made. Practically every large city in
Europe has placed Madam Zeisler in
the very front ranks of the world
greatest pianists, along with the very
few who deserve that distinction. A
brilliant program has been prepared
for the Keokuk concert and will be
announced later.
Every piano student In the CITY
should hear this world-renowned
artist. advertisement

MThe Deep Purple.,,

"The Deep PURPLE
The most superstitiouA people in
the world are the men and women OF
the theatre, and one Of their favored
Isuperstitions is that an author who
has produced an Overwhelming sue
cess, must necessarily taste defeat in
his next venture. This superstition
has been borne out by the careers
q great many of the worlds foremost
dramatists, and many Of our own
have followed their biggest hits with
plays that have fallen fiat.
"The Deep Purple, however, gives
this superstition the unqualified lie.
| A year before its production, Paul
Armstrong had written Alias Jimmy
| Valentine" in the remarkably short
space Of five days. The play won an
instantaneous success, was the big hit
Of the season in which it was first
produced, and beside it, Armstrong;
previous plays popular as they had
been, paled into insignifcance.
For awhile, it appeared that Arm
strong was resting on his laurels. He
did little or no literary work, spend
ing his time in the police and proba-
ltion courts, regenerating criminals
and performing a thousand and one
little charitable deeds that have made
This huge ungainly figure we'll known
among all sorts and conditions of
men.
| One day. however, while in CONVEX
sation with Wilson Mizner, magazine
writer. ex-gold seeker. prize fight man

idea for play presented itself, and
the two men closeted themselves for

If that OF alias Jimmy Valentine
has not been eclipsed, it has at least
been equaled, and the pet superstition
of a numerous profession most EN-
| phatically shattered.

A $40, 900, ooo, 900 CROP-WHAT 1T MEANS

The secretary of agriculture estimated the total value of farm prod
July government crop reports would indicate, upon a similar basis OF
computation, that the total value OF farm products will this year rise to
$0WOWD0OO, says the New York World.
A dollar needs n o measure; ten billions are better grasped by COM
PARSONS.
That vast sum would buy all the real estate in New York and Chi
cago ata assessed valuations, with something to spare. 1t would pay the
huge and fast-mounting national debts of warobssessed France and
Germany. 1t would clear off our own national debt nearly ten times
over; or pay its interest charges nearly ABS times.
If next years farm products were to fab off a trhe of $500 100000,
the 1914 and 1915 producer combined would still buy every railroad in
the country at the 1911 capitalized valuation. Our iron yield is incom-
parab!y the greatest OF the nations; the industries it feeds are called
basic. Yet II iron product is ONLY about one-wenty third prtt that Of
the farms. That product is fourteen times the value OF II annual out-
put of coal at the mines. 1t is seventy times the value of a wears Weld
of petroleum, parent of some OF the worlds most gigantic fortunes
For ONE thousands of years gold and silver have been words TO
suggest wealth untold. Our farm product in this yea of abundance will
be seventy-fve times the latest reported annual product of gold and
silver combined. 1t is greater Han the entire worlds stock of coined
gold and silver in existence today the boarded and almost indetructit1e
product of many centuries. 1t is more than twothrds of all he ood
discovered America.

folk have decided the names are profane and have begun a movement

The two towns are within half a mile of each other on the road
leading to Bowers beach. Veteran residents declare they were named
nearly a century ago when a party OF excursionists was attacked while
en route to the Delaware Bay shore.
As they arrived in one of the crossroad towns a member of the
party exclaimed: This is little hell referring to his state of mind

TEDDY'S RIVER OF DOUBT

Governor Elias II. Ammons has written the following poem as
He SCOTS at the college professor;
Declares that his strengths on the wane;
Denounces the grape juice OF Bryan;
Insists that it's not even sane;
He dreams all his friends back in office,
And all OF his enemies out,
AS he dimes on a morsel OF monkey,
And sails up the River of Doubt
He revised the Ten Commandments,
And brings them all quite up to date;
Bewails the mistakes of old Moses,
And signs at poor Lincolns slow gait;
While Washingtons laundering tactics
Produce a most terrible pout,
As he swallows a wee bit OF monkey
And sails up the River of Doubt.
In dreams he's enraptured the people,
And all of creation subdued;
To the furthermost side of this planet
There's against him not even a feud;
While the worlds population will honor,
And angels will bow round about,
AS he dimes on a diet of monkey
And sails up the River Of Doubt.
If ever the Colonel awakens
From delight of his beautiful dream;
If ever in strenuous fashion
His pledges he tries to redeem,
Perhaps he'll discover his error:
And, surely, he'll not take the govt
If he sticks to a diet of monkey
And sails up the River of Doubt.
