Putting Keokuk on parity with
ST. Louis freight IS another reason
why Keokuk should attract Industries.
The Industrial association has worked
for such a decision and the favorable
result puts this city in stronger po-
sition to bid for factories Keokuk
is building a strong foundation on
which to place industries.

miles around a billiard table with
nothing to eat and nothing Ito

the floor all night with a fretful
baby, without going sound to sleep

five hundred miles without going

get away from the children) She
can 90 to town and do wearisome
days shopping and have good
time with three Tor four friends,
without drinking a key of beer
She can enjoy evenings visit with

She can endure the torturing dis
traction of house full of children

them all bowling to bed before he

she endures dress that would

No Thanks.

AS the Sun was sinking low.
They strolled along together
In the twilisht's after-gIow.
Patiently she waited
AS he lowered all the bars
Her soft eyes beamed upon him
AS radiant as the stars.
She neither smiled nor thanked him
Because she knew not how,
For he was but a farmers boy
And she a Guernsey Cow.

IHuSCuidT TeldxdtlOn.
We live too tensely. We are in a
constant state of strain and hurry,
hustle and excitement. Even at
night when we 60 to bed, we fail to
relax as we should.
AS a consequence many of us
suffer from insomnia. Many of us
also suffer from nervous troubles, a
direct result of our persistent re-
fusal to let down" at occasional
intervals.
Without exception, therefore, |
recommend to everybody the pro
cedure adopted by my medical
friend.
No matter what ones calling in
life, it is always possible to find
moments during the day when we
can practice relaxation. But be
sure really to relax.
Don't hold yourself in a chair;
let the chair hold you. Make your
self a dead weight in it. That is
wnat chairs are for.
Or, if you prefer to lie down on a
sofa or bed. give up to the sofa or
bed entirely. instead of irving TO
hold yourself on it.
Shut your eyes and make your
mind as complete blank as you
possibly can. If will help you to do
this if, during the period of relaxa-
ton you take long, slow breaths
without, however, unduly straining
your lungs.
After a little practice you will
find that you can relax at will. And
after you have had little expert
ence with voluntary relaxation you
will be astonished at the increased
bodily and mental vigor it has given
you.

Today's Beauty Hints

To whiten and beautify the COM
plexion permanently we have found
no better preparation than a lotion
made by dissolving four ounces Of
spurmax in half pint of hot water
then adding two teaspoonfuls glycerin.
This removes any pimples, shiny,
muddy or sallow appearance, and will
make anyones skin clear. smooth and
velvety. It does not show or rub off
like powder; in fact, it seems a part
of the skin; and for removing tan and
freckles is unequaled.
II is necessary to shampoo more
frequently in the warmer weather be-
cause Of excessive dust and the fact
that the head perspires more and is
usually more exposed to the weather
The easiest to use and quickest drying
shampoo that we can recommend to
our readers can be prepared very
cheaply by dissolving a teaspoonful
of canthrox, obtained from your drug
gist. in a cup of hot water. This
rubbed into the scalp creates q thick
lather, soothing and cooling in its
action. as well as very beneficial to
scalp and hair. After rinsing. the
scalp is fresh and clean. while the
hair dries quickly and evenly, de-
veloping q bright luster and a soft
fluffiness that makes ii seem very
heavy.-Adv.
