Free Presents to Mothers From The
Druggists Of Lawrence, johnson,
Martin, Floyd and Pike COnnde'
They Will Give Away Free to Mothers With Small Children
Full Size Scent Package of the New External" Vapor
Treatment That Relieves Group in Fifteen Minutes
Colds Overnight.

No one knows better than tn,
skilled druggist the dangerous char
acter of most cough and cold prep
arations. To produce results these
remedies must contain some form, O.
narcotic or some one Of the Goa
tar products. These drugs are in,
furious to the stomach, especially tc
the delicate stomachs of little chill
dren. g
Druggists have long sought for
some direct method of reaching cold
troubles-for some form of vapor
treatment that could be inhaled di-
rect to the lungs and air passages.
In a little North Carolina town a
druggist discovered how to combine
Thymol, Eucalyptol, Menthol, Cam
phor, Oil of Pine, etc., in the form
of salve so that when applied to
the chest and throat the heat of the
body would release these volatile
products in the form of vapors.
These vapors are inhaled all night
long, at the same time the prepara-
ton is absorbed through the skin
taking out the soreness and tight
ness. The effect for all cold troub-
les is remarkable, no. matter wheth--
er head colds or deep chest colds.
For Group positive relief is assured
in fifteen minutes. For all forms of
bronchial troubles, sore throat, diff
ficult breathing, ETC., this new treat
ment will be found unusually effect
i've.

THE Pennsylvania railroad has
been working SO persistently on the
safety first idea that for six months
of 1914 it carried eighty-seven MIL
lion passengers and not one OF them
was killed. The record for 1918 was
equally good. OF the one hundred
and eight million passengers carried,
observes the Minneapolis Journal,
mot one was killed. The Pennsyi-
vania system has 11,72s miles Of line
and Is 1913 miles Of track More than
113, 900 passenger trains are operat-
ed on these tracks every month-no
less than 1906 every day. So that the
record Is indeed a remarkable one.
This idea OF not killing passengers
has been the special pride OF the
Pennsylvania, and It 10 . popular one

A few years ago the farm was con-

OF the agricultural school are taking
even that avenue from the non school

DISGUSTING Birth Rates.

New York Herald: Nearly every
where in Europe there is marked
decline in the birth rate. This is most
noticeable in France, where last year
there were more than 5000 fewer
births than In 1912. 1t is at mo-
ment of war Hike this that such de-
crease in the population is most felt.
Since the Franco-Prussian war the
French birth rate has diminished by
200, 900 a year. Won Moltke declared
that the promise OF future peace was
that German mothers were winning g
great victory over France each year.
In France IN 1912 the excess OF births
over deaths was only Is per 10000
In that same year in Germany 1t was
127. In Italy It was 40, ard In Hun.

doughty opponent. iSOwas 1873. France
is even more disturbed over the fact
that the commission appointed some
years ago to report upon the disquiet.
ing decline OF the birth rate has so
far been unable to find any remedy.
Indeed, the only suggestion for the re-
lief Of agricultural communities,
where the need OF labor Is felt, and
the industrial regions, where workmen
are sadly lacking, was to import some
thousands of natives Of Algerian
Morocco to take up the work in place
of the vanishing French. Only among
the Slav peoples has the birth rate
been maintained, and this is counting
heavily not only in the present war.

This is q plea for the public school
In this article it is the public school
that is meant. Before next Monday
MANY a boy, with the aid Of his par
ents. must make decision on which
rests much OF the boys future happi-
ness. Perhaps it will decide his citi-
zenship status In years to come, and
certainly it will go far toward deter

The boy who works In vacation u
coming In contact with real. actual
life, In the same manner rs Is the
boy who quite school and goes to
work. Some actual work in vacation
is Just as necessary part OF an edo-
cation as study during school. An Ell
fort to practically apply what is learn
ed in school IL necessary TO enable
the student to separate the practical
from the theoretical. Those who
study the hardest and then work the
hardest TO apply what they have
learned. viii get more out OF both
study and work than VIII the tndif-
ferent performer.
Vacation time opens the way for
school boys to work Their jobs ana
the acquiring Of money are new
enough to be enjoyable even when
the vacation days are over. School,
with its humdrum round OF studies
and recitattons, its rules and restric-
lions. its disappointing grades, holes
little charm for tae boy who has
learned that he can hold q JOB and
draw his pay check each week.
This week, In Ottumwa. and all
over America, many boys are making
their decisions. In possibly nine out
OF ten cases the natural inclination is
to remain at work. Quitting school
is an experience about which every
school boy dreams with pleasure. The
Independence OF the non-school-Eoing
boy looms large In the eyes OF the
boy who goes TO school.
Now comes the plea.
Let every father whose boy shows
the slightest indication Of desire to
remain away from the public school,
review his own life and recall the
tim. when the same desire came to
him. Let him advise the boy, present. !
ing the arguments that experience and
knowledge Of life provide. Let him
as. patience. too. for the boy Is pretty
certain to be determined.
The difference between the boy who !
goes through his home school and
the one who quits when he gets a JOB,
grows wider and wider as the years
pass. The boy who quits never can
recall the act There is but one time
in life for school. and the school is
the basis Of every education.
He may quit school and make good
as a man. He may even become rich
er and OF more importance than his
former playmate who remained In
school But If he does these things 1t

DIR. GEORGE JENKINS.

Dr.. George r. Jenkins Is dead. This
statement has carried very definite
sense OF sorrow and personal loss In
to many Of the homes Of Keokuk He
has eased the pain and comforted the
sorrowing; he has smoothed the pfl-
low Of suffering, and, by his ever
present optimism, encouraged the dis
heartened 30 many times in the fifty
years Of his work that II we're an
ungrateful world indeed that would
not call to memory his good deeds.
He has stood for everything honor
able in his dealings with his profess
sional brothers and with all man
kind. He was generous. sympathetic
and firm. Duty took him to the most
selfsacrffcing labor. but no man
ever drove him either to an honor
able or a dishonoreble act.
In his profession he Was held high
IN the state and national organiza-
tons. He was vice president of the
American Medical Association and
had been president OF the State Medi-
cal society. Here where he made
his home for 80 many years, those
who called upon his skill and advice
will miss him deeply. But he has
filed greater place than just that
Of his profession.
DR.. Jenkins was preeminently a
good citizen He gave Of his person
al effort and Of his money to affairs
Of public interest He was always on
the side Of righteousness and good
morals. He devoted the best years Of
his life to the building OF a college
which was ever credit to medical
education He initiated the founding
Of St Joseph's hospital. He served
as member of the shool board and
gave much energy TO city affairs
His genial. cordial, honest spirit. his
energy and ability have been potent
factor. in the growth and develop
nent OF Keokuk- Men Of his type are
z true asset to community and in
his passing there is definite loss
not only TO those who were bound to
him by ties OF love and tender graft
tude, but to the city which ne loved.
