keokuk, It's Welfare and its Beauty
at Heart.
To the Editor of The Gate City:
A lifelong citizen says to the read.
ers Of The Gate City and its fellow
citizens:
i have for some time been reading
several articles about the proposition
of our street railway to extend their
street railway through Rand park and
out through the old Foxnotter grove
to Belknap boulevard.
Fellow citizens, after hearing sew
eral discussions by a number Of our
citizens on the proposed extension Of
the line, feel there would be consid-
cradle objection on the part of our
citizens to sanction this route.
l, for one, would hate to do anything
that would cause anything to arise to
stop any Improvement that would
benefit the city at large, but I would
hate q great deal more to see Rand
park chopped into, and its general
beauty destroyed for all time. Rand
park is the only place we have at the
present time where small family pic
mics can go and take their children
and enjoy real outing with nature.
The proposed car line would be in a
direct location where the grounds are
mostly used by the general public, and
would be a great danger to the lives
of little children.
Rand park is very small now, and
its scenic beauty has been lost sight
of now for several years. l feel ii
would be better to try and improve
It's general beauty. And let me say
here, am willing to give $50 worth OF
choice blooming plants and shrubs to
help toward its Improvement. And ]
do not feel that we should consider
anything that would in any way mar
its beauty. I do not feel it would be
| just right. For 1t would be only for a
foreign company who do not live here
and have not the real beauty Of our
park at heart
| This world was not made for man
to worship its silver and gold, but to
see and enjoy the handiwork of his
Creator. We are told that MAN shall
not live by bread alone
1t seems to me that this company
could extend their car line Through
an even much better territory and
reach all the same unoccupied terri
tory to the north and then reach the
same location they desire.
What is the matter with extending
the car line on out Franklin street
!, from Thirteenth, out through the beau
tiful plot of country known as the old
country club grounds, to Washington

MAKES RHEUM ATISM
PROMPTLY DISAPPEAR
Chronic, crlpplsd-up Sufferers Find
Relief After Few Doses Of New
Remedy Are Taken.

It is needless to suffer any longer
with rheumatism, and be all crippled
up. and bent out Of shape with its
heart-wrenching pains, when you can
surely avoid It.
Rheumatism comes from weak, In
active kidneys, that fall to alter from
the blood, the poisonous waste matter
and uric acid: and 1t is useless to rub
on liniments or take ordinary rem
edies to relieve the pain. This only
prolongs the misery and can't pos
sibly cure you.
The only way to cure rheumatism
Is to remove the cause. The new dis
covery, Croxone, does this because it
neutralizes and dissolves all the polls
onous substances and uric acid that
lodge in the joints and muscles, to
scratch and irritate and cause rheu-
matism, and cleans out and strength
ems the stopped-up, inactive kidneys,
so they can filter all the poisons from
the blood and drive 1t on and out OF
the system.
