WHAT NEuRASTHENIA IS

Neurasthenia is condition OF eNhaus-
ton of the nervous system. The causes
are varied. Continuous work, mental or
physical, without proper vacation periods.
without proper attention to diet ana eA-
ercise, also worry over the struggle for
success, are the most common causes.
Excuses of almost any kind may pro-
duce it. Some diseases, like the grip,
will cause neurasthenia. So also Will q
severe shock, intense anxiety or grief.
The symptoms are over-sensltlveness,
irritability, disposition to worry over
tribes, headache, possibly nausea.
The treatment is one ofnutrition OF the
nerve cells, requiring q non-alcohollc
tonic. As the nerves get their nourish-
ment from the blood the treatment must
be directed toward building up the blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills act directly on
the blood and with proper regulation OF
the diet have proved of the greatest bene.-
fit in many cases of neurasthenia. A
tendency to anemia, or bloodlessness,
shown by most neurasthenic patients, is
also corrected by these tonic pills. Your

The thieves gained an entrance to
the Houghtol depot by prying open

Although they rified the Office from
one end to the other, their efforts
succeeded in gaining them only a
razor and small quantity of dry
goods. The burglars also made an
unsuccessful attempt to break into
the general store at Houghton. They
could not gain an entrance for some
reason, it being thought that they
were probably frightened away.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 15.-
With the opening today Of the second
week of the Terre Haute election cor
ruption conspiracy trial, conducted by
the government in an attempt to es-
tablish its power to purify local poll
tics when the election of United
States senator is concerned, District
Attorney Daley expected to open a
new phase of the alleged election
steal. Through Jack Nugent, former
night police chief, and Jack Hines,
once the political boss of the red
light district, Daley expects to show
that the segregated district was the
second big factor in the steal
The trial to date has developed
through former Police Chief Ed Hol-
Ter, that police headquarters was also
headquarters for operations that
placed $500 false registrations on the
books. Nugent and Hines will testify,
it is expected, that from companion
desk at headquarters" wires were
pulled that brought in from every
bawdy house and saloon its sufficient
contribution to the slush fund.

JAIL YARD SHOWS
IT'S IMPROVEMENT
New Fences Have Been Constructed
and Yard Is all Cleaned up
Garden is Planned Next.

The yard of the county Jail has
greatly improved as has also the yard
in the rear Of the sheriffs house. A
new tight board fence has been con-
structed between the Jail yard and
the other yard, and one of similar con-
struction has been erected between
the sheriff's yard and the property
next door.
The jail yard itself has been made
more slightly by system of keeping
trash and stuff which accumulates in
the yard picked up, daily. The old
boards and lumber which was of 40
use the way it was, has been stored
in one of the sheds, or is being chop
ped into kindling wood.
1t is the plan to have a garden In
the Jail yard. and some good dirt and
fertilizer will be brought in to mix
with the other earth. Sheriff Scot.
has some chickens in the shed in the
rear of the sheriff's house.
The work has been done by the
prisoners in the Jail under the super.
vision Of Henry Loewenstein, turnkey

ARE NOT MAKING
SMOKELESS POWDER
Rumor to Effect That Mooar Plant ia
Working on War Munition
is Denied.

There is absolutely nothing to the
story that the Du Pont powder mills
at Mooar are turning out smokeless
powder, some of the officials of the
company stated this morning when
asked regarding the rumor which has
become so well defined within the
last few weeks.
To turn out smokeless powder, the
plants must be peculiarly equipped,
and the officials at Mooar say that
they have no such equipment and
consequently can not manufacture
war ammunition.
The story which seems to have
gained circulation within the last
few days is to the effect that the
mills are working day and night, and
that there are no lay offs for any of
the men, and that the factory is
working to its fullest capacity.

This is Opinion Of Harry culkIn, One
Of the Three Judges Of the
Window Display
Contest.
INTEREST WAS STRONG
LARGE Number Of People Attracted
From Out Of Town-AII Were
Much Interested In the
Contest.

Better than q celebration said
Harry Culkin, one of the three judges
of the window display contest, in
talking it over this morning. TITS the
greatest thing the merchants have
ever done here In the way of al ad-
yertisement."
Mr.. Culkin is enthusiastic over the
contest He Is Of the opinion that
the displays of the next contest two
weeks away will far surpass those Of
Saturday and that by the time the
contest is over and the prize cup
awarded that there will be a wonder
full change for the better in the quail
ity of Keokuk stores and windows.
In discussing the work of the
Judges, Mr.. Culkin stated that the
Judges anticipated much dissension to
their awards. This, he said, was large
Nv because the judgments were made
by the methods given them by the
committee, and not from personal
standpoint.
In artistic arrangement. color, a1d
harmony, one Of the points on which
the awards were made the average
person would hardly think Of consid-
ering the display Of a grocery store
equal to that of jewelry store. Yet
the judges had to make such allow
ances for the material displayed as
placing all stores on an equal footing.
Pointers for Merchants.
The three judges for this first con
test could give the merchants some
valuable pointers for the next con-
tests, While many of the stores were
strong on some Of the points consid-
ered they fell down on others. Prac-
tically all the stores ranked high on
the general effect and impression
created by their displays. Many fell
down on cleanliness, many on sales
value, and few on the appearance of
the store in general. There was q
marked absence OF price cards In
some Of the windows, reducing the
sales value OF the window. In other
windows the merchant failed to ex-
hibit the kind of goods pertaining to
his store in particular, this reducing
the sales value in the estimation Of
the judges.
Outsiders were Interested.
Mr. Culkin stated that he was sur
prised to see how much interest was
taken in the contest by the people of
the city and was still more surprised
to learn that farmers and people from
nearby towns were evidently as much
interested in the contest as Keokuk
people themselves. He said that in
his opinion the contest was better
thing for the town than celebration
because 1t conferred the interest Of
the people in the goods sold by the
merchants rather than in side shows
and amuseme1ts, at the same time
bringing many people from out Of
town. The contest was of further
value, he said, in that it tended to
take the merchants out Of the old rut
of failing to improve his store and
keep it in good condition. Practically
the same opinions were expressed by
the other judges, and all were of the
opinion that the remaining contests
will be more interesting, more closely
contested, bring forth better displays.
and attract more people to the city.

kindled, the figure of the white man
Strengthened. He knew. They were
trying to tell that they had found a
woman shipwrecked and cast upon
this island.
If so, who was it, who could it be?
Was it she whom he sought? Was fate
merely jesting with him once more,
or mercifully intending to teach him
the one truth he craved?
The chief himself somewhat con-
frmed Count Fredericks surmises.
He came now and pointed to one OF
the women of his own tribe, then ap-

But, obviously, they intended them
selves to go to see this strange crea-
ture. The chief called about him some
of his men. Count Frederick saw his
opportunity in this He placed himself

and the chief himself did not lack
directness in his methods. He gave
a sign to his men, and the girl was
dragged away, struggling as best she
might, and flung into a hut which she
knew was to serve as prison.
Here in a corner of the dark interior
she covered in terror before the ap-
partitions conjured up by her own
imagination. She had not long to
wait The chief himself came, little
suspecting the resistance he was to
meet-that of an enraged and despair
ing woman. So valiant did Kitty prove
herself in Tepulsing his odious ad-
vances. that he was glad enough to
give her up and make his way back
to his hammock, leaving her to her
own devices.
Outside the hut Kitty could now
hear loud cries, orders. shouts, ex-
carnations, all the sounds Of a crowd
gathering what purpose she could
not guess. The meaning of this also
was not long left in doubt for her.

CHAPTER LXVl.
The Caverns.


When Kitty Gray awakened to con
seriousness upon the beach of strange
land whittier she had been carried by
no purpose of her own, she looked
once more into the face of peril. The
savages who surrounded her showed
no sign of pity or kindness. Upon the
contrary. whooping and yelling, they
fell upon her and dragged her in spite
Of herself toward their own village.
This village had a ruler of its own,
no doubt chief for that part OF the
country.
He was a savage of peculiarly fierce
and forbidding visage, and Kitty felt
her blood run cold as she faced his
evil gaze. The natives, yelling in
glee, practically cast her at his feet.
Evidently they were giving to Caesar
the things which they thought were
Caesar's-in this case, woman, the
spolia opima Of all wars and all con
quests. The evil face Of the savage
monarch relaxed into a grin which
made Kitty shudder.
What woman was this now brought
by chance to the presence of this ogre?
Surely he had never seen her like be
fore. Moreover, she was alone, a pris-
oner. helpless. The progress of rea-
son hereabouts was swift and simple,
