FIT. MADISON MAN
MAKES INVENTION
Or. starkweather Would Eliminate jar
and Noise Of Train Passing
Over Rail Joints.

! Fort Madison Democrat: Dr. G. A
| Starkweather has entered the field of
the inventor and applied for a patent
On rail connection devised to elm
mate the noise from the wheels run
ming over the joints the wear and
tear on the rolling stock and the an
noyance to the passengers of the
shock at the end Of each rail and the
saving of the strain on bolts in the
flshplate connecting the rails.
The invention is a most simple one
One local official stated 1t was so
simple that despite the efforts of
many to think OF something on this
order 1t never occurred to them. The
idea Is to put the ball Or top Of the
rail at an angle of as degrees. The
effect obtained from doing this is to
distribute the passage Of the wheels
over the connection and the rail is
not depressed at the ends as the case
is now. With the rail depressed as 1t
is now the rail ahead is fraction Of
,n inch higher and the connection is
OF necessity a jolt. The bolts in the
plate that hold the rails together are
under a constant strain and the roll
ing stock Of the company Is continu
ally being torn down by the constant
shock at the rail connections.
The connection being on the angle,
8 portion of the top Of the rail rests
on the lower portion of the next rail
and it IS not possible TO depress the
rail.
The Santa Fe officials have pro-
nounced the idea as practical and are
going to give it test. DR.. Stark
weather has a patent pending on the
invention at the present time.

BONICAMP COLLAR
FACTORY BURNED
Fire In Fort Madison Concern 10 Be.
'ieved to be Of Incendiary
Origin by Owners.

Fort Madison Gem City: Fire be
lieved to have emanated from an in
cendiary origin, started In the storage
room of the Bonicamp Manufacturing
Co. plant, makers of horse collars
shortly before O'clock Sunday after
noon. The flames destroyed a guam
tity OF baled straw, possibly hall
hundred bales being damaged Three
machines were damaged by fire and
the flames ate their way into the roo1
of the structure. The damage has
not as yet been correctly determined
but it is placed in the neigh borhood
Of $1,000.
The fireproof construction Of the
building and the location of the in
fammable material in the plant was
all that prevented complete devas
tation of the factory 1t is thought, as
the fire had been raging for some
time before the alarms were sent in
to the fire department. The flames
were confined in the room and pre-.
vented from entrance into the main
part OF the factory through the fact
that the heavy freproof steel door
between the rooms was securely
closed.

TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
Look YounaI Bring Back It's Natural
Color, Gloss and Thickness.


Common garden sage brewed into
heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and lux
uriant, remove every bit of dandruffs
stop scalp itching and falling hair.
Just few applications will prove
revelation If your hair is fading,
gray or dry, scraggly and thin. Nike
ing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recips
at home, though, is troublesome. An!
easier way is to get the readyto-use
tonic, costing about 80 cents a largs
bottle at drug stores, known az
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Con-
pound" thus avoiding lot of muss.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is
not sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive-
ness. By darkening your hair with
Weyth's Sage and Sulphur, 20
one can tell, because it does SO nat
urally, so evenly. You just dampen
a sponge OF soft brush with 1t and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morn-
ing all gray hairs have disappeared,
and, after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully darksi
glossy, soft and luxuriant.

A GREAT MUSICIANS
HAIR SECRET

1t was man musician to whom we
were talking, but every woman will
realize the value OF his answer to our
question, What makes your hair 30
abundant and SO lustrous?" "Just
simple care madam. ! am as good to
1t as I am to my hands" 1t was just
his way OF saying. Il keep it perfectly
clean" Since then we have found
that regular care and perfect c!eanli-
ness means hair health and beauty.
1t Is not advisable when shampooing
to use makesbift, but always use a
preparation made for shampooing
only. You can enjoy the best that Is
known for about three cents sham
poo by getting a package OF canthrox
from your druggist; dissolve a tea.
spoonful in cup OF hot water and
your shampoo is ready. After It's use
the hair dries rapidly with uniform
color. Dandruff, excess oil and dirt
are dissolved and entirely disappear.
Your hair will be so fluffy that 1t will
look much heavier than It is. It's
lustre and softness Will also delight
you. while the stimulated scalp gains
the health which insures hair growth.

All of the living victims have been

The work is of necessity slow and it

The chief work now is to prevent
an epidemic. In the temporary camps
the physicians are enforcing the most

recovered are buried without delay
In addition, thousands of tons of lime

Thin Folks Who
Would Be Fat
Increase in Weight Ten Pounds or
More,
A Physicians Advice.

I'D certainly give most anything to
| be able to fat up a few pounds and
stay that way declares every exces-
sively thin man or woman. Such a
result is not impossible, despite past
| failures. Thin people are victims of
r1al-nutrition, condition which pre-
vents the fatty elements~of food from
being taken up by the blood as they
are when the powers OF nutrition are
normal Instead of getting into the
blood. all the fat and flesh producing
elements stay in the intestines until
they pass from the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to
produce a healthy, normal amount OF
fat the nutritive processes must be
arttfcially supplied with the power
which nature has denied them This
can best be accomplished by eating a
Sargol tablet with every meal. Sar-
gol is scientific combination OF six
of the best strengthening. fat-produc-
ing elements known to the medical
profession Taken with meals, it
mixes with the food AND turns the
sugars and starches into rich. ripe
nourishment for the tissues and blood
and its rapid effect is remarkable.
Reported gains Of from ten to twenty
five pounds in a single month are by
no means infrequent. Yet its action
Is perfectly natural and absolutely
harmless. Sargol is. sold by Wilkin-
son & Co., and other good druggists
everywhere and every package con-
tains guarantee Of weight increase
or money back.
caution:-Whiie Sargol has pro-
duced remarkable results in the treat
n,ant of nervous INDIGESTION and gen.
eral stomach disorders, it shoulG not,
owing to its remarkable flesh produc-
ing effect. be used by those who are
not willing to increase their weight
ten pounds or more.

Internal Revenue Commissioners Is
sues Lists and Names Papers
Which Are Exempt and
Those to be Taxed.
EXCHANGE DEED TAXED
Where There 10 no Immediate Trans
fer on Certain Transactions,
There ls an Exemption Tn
der This Ruling.

The exact stamp tax on papers
drawn and filed in various kinds O
realty deals was made known las,
week when the commissioner of inter
nal revenue at Washington issued q
statement explaining the act in detail
and giving the fees and regulations or
conyeyances, including deeds, trans
fers, options, quit claims, etc.
The statement follows:
"The act provides that a deed, in
strument, or writing, whereby any
lands, tenements, or other realty sold
shall be granted, assigned, trans
ferred or otherwise conveyed, when
the consideration or value Of the in
terest or property conveyed, exclusive
of any lien or incumbrance thereon
exceeds 800 and does not exceed $500
shall be subject to tax Of so cents
and for each additional $500 or frac
tional part thereof in excess of $500
so cents.
For instance, where a property is
sold for $4,000, $1,000 of which is re
.ceived in cash and promissory note
for the balance, the tax to be imposed
upon the deed should be computed on
the basis OF the cash received and the
said promissory note becomes subject
to the tax imposed upon such instru.
ments, that is, 81 on the deed and 20
cents on the note.
In the case of deed which states
that the transfer is made for a nom.
inal consideration, or consideration
of 81, the tax must be computed upon
the actual value of the interest or
property conveyed, the amount OF
any lien or incumbrance being de-
Quoted, and the person who executes
the deed is required to affix stamps
thereto and becomes liable to penalty
II stamps in sufficient amount,
based upon the actual value of the
consideration given are not so af.
fixed.
