SCALE INACCURACIES.

Many of the commercial and private
wagon scales used for weighing coal,
grain and stock are more inaccura te
than is commonly supposed. This may
re seen from the reports of the state
weight and measure inspectors
During the summer and fall the in
spectors have been busily engaged in
checking up these scales. The results
o. this work show that most of the
elevator scales are in good condition.

tenn of inspection for these scales has
been in oDeration TO- ten years. It is
only within the past year that the
testing OF other wagon scales was
commenced in a systematic manner
Some OF the Inaccuracies Of these
sCales are as follows:
At Waterloo one scale was off 100
lbs. on a 500 h. load
At CIarinia a scale was off 600 lbs.
on a $500 ID. load.
At Sioux Center the city scales were
off IS lbs. on 500 lbs.
At Rock Rapids the city scales were
short A. lbs. on load.
Numerous other inaccura cies could
be given but these will serve to show
that scales will not remain accurate

cent OF the scales tested by the de-

Now that the fall coal buying season
is on. CHIEF Weight and Measure In
spector F. w. Van Duyn is deyoting
his attention to checking up deliv-
cries of short weight coal. Last week
a dealer was fined $1,000 and costs for

TT. MADISON HAS
BUS TO NAUVOO
New Service to be Inaugurated by
Merchants and Two Machines
viii be Used.

The Fort Madison-Nauvoo bus line
will be started within few days was
the assurance OF the promoters of the
venture says the Fl. Madison Demo-
crat. Two Studebaker buses will be
put in the service, which will mean
hourly trips.
The announcem of this line has
been received with acclaraaticn by the
local merchants and all endorse Il
heartily. The operation of these two
buses will mean untold benefit to the
city bringing numerous people TO the
city who otherwise probably would
not visit Fort Madison once year.
AS soon as the Lus ness warrants the
increase another bus or two will be
purchased and the trips will be made
more frequently. TO MANY. this line
will have a peculiar significance and
no doubt a few local citizens are con-
templating patronizing the buses aft
er the first Of the year.
The cars will hold ten or twelve
people and small packages will also
be handled. The machines will be Of
benefit to the Niota residents also.

GOOD ADVICE FOR THIN PEOPLE

I'D certainly give most anything to
be able to gain few pounds and stay
that way" declare many thin men and
women. Such a result is usually not
impossible despite past failures. Most
thin people are victims of mal-nutri-
ton, a condition which prevents the
fatty elements OF food from being
taken up by the blood as they are
when the powers of nutrition are nor
nal. Instead of getting into the blood
much of the fat and flesh producing
elements stay in the intestines until
they pass from the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to pro-
duce a healthy, normal amount of fat
he flesh making food elements must
be so prepared in the digestive pro-
cesses that the blood will accept and
distribute them throughout the body.
There is preparation called Sargol,
which works on this basis and which

MUST HAVE COOPERATION.

A Keokuk business man and Keo'
kuk salesman were discussing the i'm.
proved Rock Island train service. This
is what they said in substance: That
it was now up to the merchants OF
Keokuk to make the new service a
success They said that is was up to
the merchants of Keokuk to offer as
good merchandise and at as attractive
prices as the Ottumwa merchants to
whom the trade has been flowing nat
urally on account OF the better train
service toward that city. Now that
the schedule Is to be changed, Keo-
kuk must work diligently to show the
Rock Island officials that the people
along the K. & D. NJ. wanted to come
to this city. The Keokuk merchants
have the goods and the prices. 1t is
simply matter of publicity and cour-
tesy In order to make The Gate
City's part OF the program successful,
two solicitors will be assigned the *.
& D. NJ. road to solicit subscriptions.
It will be Of little benefit to the mer-
chants for The Gate City to increase
the subscription lists in the towns
along the K & D. NJ. unless the ad-

OLD LOVE LETTERS.

OLD LOVE LETTERS.
DO you not think, dear, that 1t is
absurd
To keep these letters and at times
recall them.
AS If no years could modify each word
Nor custom stale them?
OF course meant them ALTO the ex-
tent
In which we always mean our young
effusions-
But now it seems a cruelty to present
Their fond illusions.
oId not bargain for this long distress
OF written bonds, like lawyers
verbal letters. ..
Think more about the spirit, dear
and less
About the letters.
Would you rebuke a bird who stops
his trill
Because he feels no more the spring
tide rapture?
Do you expect me TO be chasing still
After the capture?
A l. Salmon, in Judge.
