Every attack of rheumatisn invites
another. Worse than that it reduces the

than the one before.
II any disease needs curing early it is
rheumatism but there is almost no dis
ease which physicians find more difficult

does help rheumatism nobody knows
how or why it does it.
All authorities agree that the blood be-
comes thin with alarming rapidity as
rheumatism develops. Maintaining the
quality OF the blood therefore is REASON

MASON CITY, Iowa, April 26.--Nick
Jashvich, Russian Jew. has confessed

he slept beside his wife, with a 32
calibre revolver and turned the weap-

came after the dead mans widow said
she saw Jashvich leave the room
soon after the shot was fired. Kas-
losky owed Jashbich 500 and had
been unable to meet the demands for
payment and the police think the
was for revenge OF the non

keokuk Electric Company Employees
Form Organization to Pre-
vent Fires and
Accidents.
MEN ARE INTERESTED
Work of Organization to be Done by
the Employees Who Are Great
iy Interested In the
Club,

Prevention of accidents and fires is
to be handled in a systematic way by
the Keokuk Electric company in the
future, through the formation Of
Safety First club, organized among
the employees Of the company this
morning. Much attention to the pre-
yention of accidents and fires already
has been given by this company, but
this has come largely through the Off
Gals OF the company. From now on
the plan will be to have the work
come through the employees who are
the ones most greatly affected.
The club organized this morning,
elected General Superintendent ]. P.
Ingle president for a period of six
months. The superintendent of each
department, gas, electric and street
railway, will serve as heads of COM
mittees in each department, two other
employees in each department to con-
stitute the other members of each
committee.
The committees will make investi-
cation in their departments of ways
in which accidents or fires can be
prevented. In addition to the work to
be done by the>s men, special work
in all departments will be done by
Glen w. Carlson who will study the
causes Of all fires and accidents, in
vestigate the habits and practices Of
the men with regard to preventing
accidents, and will make regular in
spections OF all equipment and prop
erty Of the company.
The Work of the club members will
be done on the baiss that all accidents
and fires are, in the last analysis, re-
suits of carelessness. The men hope
to eliminate accidents or at least to
reduce them to the lowest possible
number
Each employee of the company is a
member of the club. The men will
be supplied in few days with Safety
First buttons to be worn In their
coat lapels. The buttons are Of green
and white enamel The border bears
the words, Safety First" while the

MEMPHIS, Mo-, April 26.-Two au-
ton1obile garages were destroyed by
fire here early this morning, together
with dozen or more cars and 1t
was only by the most vigorous work
OF the fire department that the city
did not have a disastrous blaze.
At 1910 o'clock last night, fire
broke out in the Memphis garage,
operated by Frank Davis and spread
to the East Side garage, both being
destroyed. together with much oil,
gasoline and supplies. besides a doz-
en- or more cars which were in the
buildings.
DR.. Fogel's car which was de-
stroyed, was insured. The local un-
dertaker lost his auto truck and
hearse. Other cars owned by citizens
were not insured.
The two buildings were fifty foot
front cement buildings, SO called fire
proof structures. but the roofs were
of timber and the fire proof" build
ings were roaring mass Of flames
in an instant.
The Peoples bank was in danger
and the lumber yards also had a
close call. but the fire company, by
hard work, kept the flames confined
in the two garages, the walls of which
are all that remain this morning.
Memphis has had a number of bad
fires recently, including two barns,
and it is thought that perhaps fire
bug is abroad. The origin of last
nights blaze Is unknown The loss
is between $1,000 and $4,000 on
the two buildings, with as much more
on automobiles destroyed, making the
blaze q rather expensive one.
