 The following letter vas received recently by County Clerk Geo.

is YOUR DAUGHTER PALE?

Does she inherit delicate organization
from your The anemia OF young girls
may be inherited or it may be caused by
bad air, lack of proper food, insufficient
out-of-door exercise, hasty and irregular
eating and not enough rest and sleep.
1t comes on gradually, beginning with
languor, indisposition to mental or bodily
exertion, irritability and feeling of fati-
que. Later comes palpitation of the
heart and headache. In a majority of
cases constipation is present. Often the
patient Graves unusual things to eat,
such as starch or chalk There may be
no loss of flesh but the complexion takes
on greenish-yellow pallor.
There is no need to worry in case of
this kind. The treatment is easy and
simple. DR.. Williams Pink Pills, non
alcoholic and free from any harmful
drug, are just the tonic to remedy this
condition. Improvement begins with the
first dose. Az the blood is made rich
and red the peculiar pallor leaves the
face, strength and activity gradually re-
turn and if the treatment is continued
until tho last symptom disappears the
danger of relapse is slight.
A booklet, building Up the Blood"
which tells all about this treatment, will
be sent free on request by the DR.. Will

CITY OFFICIALS IN
SAFETY FIRST CLUB
CounciImen and Department Heads
are Made Honorary Members
Of the Organization.

Three city commissioners, the chief
of the fire department and the chief
of the police department were made
honorary members Of the Safety First
club, organized by employees of the
keokuk Electric company. The Off
Gals Of the club believe that the or
ganization can do much more effec-
tive work if they have the co-opera-
ton of the city officials.
Chief Kenney yesterday made his
first suggestion as a member OF the
club and the suggestion was adopted
at once. This was that the. West x
car, when at the uptown end of the
track, be stationed about twenty feet
farther from the corner than it has
been in the past. This move, 1t is
believed, will serve to prevent acct
dents on this corner such as happen
ed on the corner of Sixth and Blon.

Euerta'S Plea.

ST Louis Globe Democrat: Victori.
ano Huerta reads better in extenso
than in brief In the fuIlness of the
statement made by him to the New
York newspapers he was evidently
making plea to point the sharp con
trast between the Mexico of his ad-
ministration and the Mexico of the
present. He says, what can be easily
proved, and what, in fact, has never
been denied, that during his fncum
bency the greater part of the country,
loyal to him, was in state Of tran.
guilty and the enjoyment Of protec-
ton to life and property What has
followed his retirement is now to be
seen, he thinks. so plainly that it is
impossible to mistake its meaning.
The tone of the communication is
that of Mexican pronunciamento:
This was to be expected The unex.
pected thing Is that Huerta has gone
as far as he has in criticism OF the
Mexican policy Of this government
His language Is diplomatic. but shows
sions disseminated by newspapers
which have themselves been misled.
The purpose Of the argument IS
plainly to work change in American
public opinion. This. we know, he'd
already set in before the Mexican ue-
gan his special pleading. 1t has grown
out of the logic OF events which have
forced themselves into the public con
seriousness. 1t Is impossible to say
what use any Mexican faction can
make Of the change, thoughiit Is made
clear, in this way, that some attempt
at use is contemplated. There can be
no DOUBT that when anotbor Mexican
reaches the presidency by the same
constitutional means Huerta did the
public opinion Of this country will not
again tolerate such a reversal Of our
established continental policy as 1t
permitted Mr.. Wilson and Mr. Bryan
to make in Huerta's case.

the Agricultural Palace today, but
cannot find anything which will CON-
pei you Iowa people to make your
booth less attractive. We must do
something, however. because Iowa s
booth is in the center of the Agricu'-

cipal locations, and when two hundred
or three hundred people fill those
aisles looking at that great pile OF
corn issuing from Iowa's horn of
