Loss Of Saloon Revenue Cuts Gener-
al Fund, From Which Most Bills
Are Paid, Directly in
Two.
Law IS RESPONSIBLE
II keokuk Could Proportion Revenue
a. II Pleased, There Would
Be Plenty Of Money In
the Treasury.

City improvements will be greatly
curtailed in 1916, due to the loss of
sZ3,5O0 In saloon revenue. This large
amount went formerly into the gener-
ial fund from which the greater part
iof the city's bills are paid. The loss
cuts the fund in two. and, although
all of the other city funds will be as
FULL as ever before. not cent can be
taken from them to help pay any OF
the bills that the law says must be
paid out Of the general fund, and as a
result this fund will be about $4,000
for 1916. where it was nearly $4,000
in 1915.
Although cut in half, there will be
enough money In the general fund to
pay the salaries and the incidental ex-
ipenses OF the city, but no great i'm
proyements can be made.
There has been a raise OF one mill
on city taxes over last year and the
total is now AZ mills. The limit is
As mills. But even IL the taxes were
raised to the limit. the situation would
mot be helped. for if this plan had
been followed, funds that are seldom
used would be sweIled to add few
more dollars to the general fund.
The state law says that ten mills
and only ten can go to the general
fund. This will net about $4,000 next
year. To relieve the situation the Iowa
League OF Municipalities is backing a
bill to be put through the state legis-
lature which would allow each city to
apportion its own revenues into the
various funds as it sees fit or as neces-
sity requires. If this plan could be
followed in 1916, the loss OF the saloon
revenue would not have been felt for
the general fund could have been en-.
larged at the expense Of funds that are
seldom drawn on. AS it is the city has
money put away that can only be used
for certain purpose and must stay
there till used for that one purpose,
no matter how badly it might be need
ed for some other.
The sewer fund will be Just the same
ms formerly and sewers can be laid in
1916 There is also an Improvement
fund of FIVE mills. the money of which
goes towards the expense Of placing in
street intersections, which is charged
to the city.
Civic improvements might go on in
Keokuk If this city adopted the plan
Of many other cities in the country.
Here the city pays practically half ot
the cost Of improving and grading
streets. In other places the property
owners pay everything. Mayor Moor
head stated today that Keokuk would
not institute this latter plan but that
due to the lack Of money. all streets
improved in the new additions must
be paid entirely by the property own
ers, including the improving of inter
sections.

SIMPLE REMEDY
FOR CATARRH
Just Breathe Hyomei -Four Times
Day and Be Relieved.

Just Breathe Hyomei Four Times
Day and Be Relieved.
If a few years ago some one had
said you could treat catarrh by breath
ing air charged with a healing balsam,
the idea would have been ridiculed
and it remained for that eminent In.
vestigator, r. T. Booth, to discover in
Hyomei this wonderful method OF
treatment.
Hyomei has performed almost
miraculous results in treating catarrh
and Is today recognized by thousands
of people as the only advertised rem
edy for catarrh that can be relied
upon to do just what 1t claims. The
complete outfit Of Hyomei is inexpen-
sfye and consists OF an inhaler. a
medicine dropper and bottle Of Hyo-
mel. .
Breathe the air of Hyomei through
the little inhaler druggists furnish
with it for few minutes four times
a day and 1t will help the worst case
of catarrh. 1t soothes and heals the
mucous membrane of the air pass
ages prevents irritation. and effects
complete and lasting relief.
In Keokuk there are scores OF well
known people who have been relieved
of catarrh by Hyomei. If 1t does not
help YOU Wilkinson & Co. will return
the money you paid for Hyomef. This
is the strongest evidence that can be
offered as to their faith in this rem
edy.
