How carefully Is Honolulu guarding
against the dangers of Christmas
fires? From the National Fire Pro-
lection Association or Boston little

the handling of inflammable material
has come to the local Chamber
Commerce. VT
In its warnings for stores, churches
and bazaars, the leafiet says: "Holi-
day fires In these places filled with
people are usually holocausts. Light,
infammable decorations make fires
easy to start and easy to spread. A
match, g gas fame, or an electrical
defect may do Il
watch gas jets, Decorations may
be carried against them by air cur
rents. Watch smokers! Do not per-
NIT them to light cigars. inside build
ings. Do not make the slightest
change in electric wiring without con-
suiting the electrical inspector.
Every year in America many chill
dren are burned to death by fires
from Christmas candles" sSys the

MILWAUKEE, Wis, May 6.-Mrs.
Susie Wodiik, the police say, has con-
fessed that she strangled her six year
old son, Adam, whose body was found
in the rear of their home Monday
morning. She broke down a few hours
after she had attended the boys
funeral yesterday afternoon, where, in
the company of detectives she was al
lowed to see the body for the first
time since her arrest.

and myself, too. I told Adam to come
into the alley and then took him by
the throat and choked him until he

Biggest Shopping Event in the His
tory of keokuk to Take Place
Saturday, May
DON'T MISS THIS EVENT
Attractive Stores, Unusual Bargains,
Courteous and Hosptable Treat
nent to be Features
of the Day.

For several months the Keokuk
merchants lave been conducting win
dow display contests which have Gre
ated not only in the city but the sur
rounding country a lively interest.
The concluding feature Of this event
will take place next Saturday, May 8,
when the merchants will conduct a
Dollar day sale in connection with
the final window display contest AS
outlined in another part OF this paper,
bargains will be offered by more than
one hundred business men which
have never before been duplicated in
this city-or any other.
Expecting Big Crowds.
1t is the belief of the merchants
that such unusual offerings will at
tract shoppers from all parts of this
vicinity and that the Dollar day move
ment will be one of the means of bet
ter acquainting the people with the
Keokuk stores and the kind of mer.
chandiso offered 1t is true that no
city affords better class Of goods or
makes better prices. People who
have made an investigation between
shopping in the big cities and shop
ping at home, admit that it is decid-
edly more economical to trade with
the local merchants.
Make 1t Hospitable. 80
The merchants will not only be
ready to serve the shoppers with a
fine and complete line of seasonable
merchandise, but there will be a hos
pitable air pervading all of the stores,
which will have a most attractive ap.
pearance. 1t is hoped that the day
will be a pleasant one from wealth
er standpoint as it is sure to be plea
SAINT one from the standpoint of cour.
tesy. 1t is not only the desire of the
retailers to make the day success
full one, but it is desirable that every
one will contribute in every way
possible to the success or keokuk's

Woman's Health
Requires Care

Women are so constituted as to
be peculiarly susceptible to consti-
patton, and their general health
depends in large measure on care
full regulation and correction OF
this tendency. Their delicate Or
ganisms nobel at the violence OF
cathartic and purgative remedies,
which, while they may afford tenn
pornry relief, shock the system
and seriously disturb the func-
tional organs. A mild laxative Is
far preferable and, II properly COM
pounded, much more effective.
The combination of simple laxa-

women's use. A free trial bottle

in 1880 it was decided that inasmuch
as the veterans were beginning to
show traces Of age, they needed furth-
er help. They became invalids of ma
lures making. and a new pension law
was passed providing pensions for all
veterans, regardless of whether they
were disabled in service. Pensions
of from six to twelve dollars month
were awarded all veterans who could
not work. In three years this ran the
pension expenditures from SS6,00O,00O
up to 100000, and increased the
pension list from $4,000 to 100000.
Now the advocates of a straight pen
sion of a 81 day to all veterans are
multiplying and it is not unlikely that
before many years the government
will be supporting all veterans of the
war.

Some people do not think much about lard until they get some greasy. disa- greeable dish in a restaurant or else where and then hear them complain, Lard can be very healthy for certain purposes, CT quite the contrary. Lis. ten to a few words about the Fl Paso Refining co.
 This great concern has insisted that every one of its employees be abso- lutely careful and let nothing hinder him from the utmost of cleanliness. Spotless purity is the order which goes out from the executive office and the foreman sees that this order is en- forced.

 Are you aware of the fact that a preponderant percentage of the ill- ness caused and realized in this world is due to imperfect and unsanitary food diet?

Surely, however, you will ap- preciate such a statement as true, when you Gre told that over one-hali the misery of this world, from ill health, is 6ue to improper, unsanitary food products.
 Now that you have seen all this, can you doubt? Canned goods are, most surely, a n necessity Yet, it is equally true that. health problems of your fam fly considered, it is equally necessary that such goods be of known sanitary quality.

Delicate Cakes and Crackers Are Offered Discriminating House wives By Merchants Biscuit Co.,, of Denver.

You may need a biscuit If this is true. please pause for a moment and consider the fact that the Mer- chants Biscuit Go, of Denver is rec ognized as the producer of the finest brand of crackers and fancy cakes being sold in the Southwest.
 Every now and then some new pro- ducer comes to the front with an ar ticle claimed as superior to all others. But in these days 1t is good to know of an article which has stood the test of time and never been found wanting. Such an article Is the product of the great and reliable Merchants Biscuit Go. of Denver
 There are many times in the affairs of the average housewife when some little dainty in the shape of fancy cake or cracker just fills the bill You wish, perchance, to offer your afternoon guest cup of tea and some appropriate dainty If you've not had the pleasure Of personal acQuain- tance with the Merchants Biscuit Cos products. you are very likely some what at a loss for a refreshment of- fering.

MONARCH BRAND HAS GAINED STRONGHOLD
 IN THE SOUTHWEST
Reid -MurdoCk Co.'S Trade Mark Stands for Highest Quality; Sales Are Tremendous in Arizona.

When the true connoisseur of food products thinks of canned fruits, vege- tables, olives. etc, he is very likely thinking of the firm of Reid-Murdoch Co. of Chicago. This company manu- lactures the celebrated Monarch Branch and, really, it is no exaggera- ton Co affirm that these products are in a class by themselves.
 The Reid.Murdock Co is in a class by itself and is one of the biggest pack ing houses in all the country. Organ ized in 1855 its goods have since be come known and recognized as the ut most in goodness in all parts of the civilized globe Here in the Warren District, the Phelps Dodge Mere. Co.,. handles the Murdoch ouput and scarcely is there a family in this en- tire community which has not learned to recognize the goods bearing the label of this great company as un- doubtedly satisfactory in the simplest detail
 However, one must not assume that the Warren District is the only sec ton of the Valentine State where these goods find a market Quite the contrary is true. Monarch Brand can ned goods are found on the shelves of grocery and department stores in every city of the broad Valentine State and they are in big demand.
 There's an old adgage that Hon esty is the best policy. The Reid Murdoch people must have had this slogan in mind when they put the Monarch Brand on the market If there ever was an honest brand of goods displayed for the appreciation of the masses. it is the Monarch Brand sold wherever people live in civilized fashion.
 In these days when SO many com panies are appearing out of the great mass of unknown and unheard of con cerns, it's rather hard to distinguish between the really good and that which merely assumes to be of bona iide value. Perahps you've tried some inferior brand of canned goods if this be the case, will you not try Mon arch Brand and be convinced?
 Local residents have known Mon arch goods for long, long time They should realize and presumably they do appreciate the fact that it doesn't pay to experiment. There is and can be only one Monarch Brand and that brand is manufactured by the Reid Murdoch Co. of Chicago
 Some people seem to. think that it
