of ''Sallie." His search led him far
and wide, but one day, while gazing
out to sea, he described, lolling upon
the wind-swept sands Of the city of

Oil Treatment for
Stomach Troubles

A simple prescription made up of a
combination of pure vegetable. oils is
producing wonderful results for suf-
ferers from stomach, liver and intestinal
troubles. The remedy, which is said
to have originated in France, where it
has been used for years by the peasantry,
was introduced into this country by
George Fl. Mayr, leading Chicago
druggist who cured himself of severe
stomach, liver and intestinal troubles by
its use. Those who have used it say the
first dose is sufficient to convince any
one of its remarkable merit. and that
within twenty-four hours the sufferer
feels like new person This medicine,
which has become known as Mayr's

Quincy High School is Defeated in
Final Game Of the Season
on the Local
Floor.

Improvement.
FINISH WAS EXCITING

| In the greatest and most spectactl-
| lar game that has been seen here
this year, Keokuk high school basket
ball team wound up its season on the
home floor with 1922 victory over
the high school quintet from Quincy.
The winning team was not decided
on until the last second of play, foul
goal giving the local FIVE a margin
that won the game.
Although the visiting team seemed
far outclassed in the first half of the
game, they came back In the last per-
iod and put up an exhibition of speed
and team work that swept the Purple
and White five off its feet. But three
points were made by the Keokuk play
ers in the second half of the game,
the visitors counting fourteen in this
time.
The first half was all one-sided as
far as the scoring was concerned. al
though the teams were evidently
evenly matched. keokuk, playing i
better organized and faster game than
they have shown at any previous time
this season, piled up lead OF twelve
points in this period. Quincy made
only one field goal in this half.

ond half. Keeping the ball under their
own goal most of the time. they gradu-
ally overcame the lead Of the local
team until they finally tied the score
at % all five minutes before the end
of the game When the tying point
was made, the crowd went into an up
roar of excitement.
Two minutes before time was called
in the last half, foul was called on
one of the Quincy players. Referee
Dadant stopped the game just before
the Banks was ready to throw, TO
order the crowd back off the lines.
Banks was ready to throw. to
was allowed to throw it again by Da-
dant, because the floor had not been
cleared when the ball was thrown.
Banks threw the second time, making
the basket and the point that won the
game There was no more scoring on
either side after this.
This was the last home game for
the Keokuk team for this season. An
other game may be played at Burling-
ton next week but arrangements for
it have not yet been definitely COM
pleted. None of the men who played
on the team this year will be lost by
graduation and the Keokuk five next
year should be one of the strongest IN
the state.

and he withdrew a few moments
later, followed quickly by Jack LeCatn

set by the leaders had been terrific,
averaging II miles an hour. This
was considereG remarkable in view OF
the short course and hairpin turns
that abound.
Wild Burst Of Speed.
At this stage came the finest exhi-
bition of driving In the whole race.
PulIen, who had been making series
OF sensational efforts to catch the
flying Resta. put on an extra burst of
speed aid shot into the lead in the
twenty-third lap. Twice around the
course the roaring cars sped, never
more than 100 feet apart and then
the thousands burst into wild cheer
ing as the italian took the command
ing position.
Tom Alley and Edward ODonnell
driving Duese1bergs, went out of the
race within five minutes OF each 9TH
er. Alley broke piston rod and
O'Donnell's car turned completely
over. Neither man was injured, al
though O'Donnell,s machine was
complete wreck.
At the sixtieth, Resta was more
than six minutes ahead Of Puiien and
Each Of these shortly aft
srwards made final bid for the tro-
ply. Pulle1 dropped back defeated
before the SEVENTEEN lap and Ruck-
stell took up the attempt. With only
seven more laps to go. he set sail SEN
for the Feugeot. On the
lap he failed to reap
pear in front of the main stands. A
later word came that his car
had duplicated the accident to O'Don-
nell's car and at exactly the same
place, in front of the Massachusetts
building. Neither Ruckstell nor his
was hurt.
Barney Oldfield finished seventh
Only fifteen cars finished.
Although three cars were wrecked
by turning over during the course of
the race, only two persons were In
jured. One was spectator, struck
by a tire thrown from Captain Ken
nedy's car, and rendered unconscious.
His condition was not serious, how
ever.
Bob Burman's car turned over,
