'DRAW OF BRIDGE
Opens 7 {: LAST TINE
span Which Has Been swinging for
Forty-four Years Opened for Last
Time In lts Career
Yesterday.
BEARDsTowN IS BOAT
BY February First, Il Is Expected
That New Double Deck span
Will be Built In it,
Place.

| The draw of the Keokuk and Hamil-
ton bridge swung for the last time
Yesterday. BY the first of February,
1916, the old draw will be replaced by
the new double decked structure. For
forty-four years the draw has been
opening and closing during the navi-
cation season to an average of 1,50O
to 1000 times during the season. It
has swung perhaps 10000 times dur
ing Its career.
The Beardstown was the last boat
to go through the old draw. The
bridge opened yesterday to allow it to
pass through. The bridge records for
the first one or two years of Its ex-
istence have been lost, so that there
seems to be no record OF the first boat
to pass through the draw here. Per
haps some of the students OF local
history who kept diaries can supply
the name of this boat
The bridge was opened in 1871.
The first tolls were collected OH
June 10, 1871. The bridge draw was
being opened regularly about this
time. This makes the years of serv-
ice Of the old pilot span forty-four
years. 1t is expected that the new
double deck draw span will be built
by the first of February.
One year the draw was opened only
900 times. Another year It was open
ed over three times that many times.
During the days when rafting was a
big industry on the river, the old
draw was kept busy. OF late years
there have been fewer boat passing
through the bridge.

The Hair-Destroying
Curling Iron Passes

The heated iron makes the hair dry
and parched looking. burns off the
ends, giving most untidy appearance.
You who have learned this from sad
experience will be glad to hear of a
very simple method which is open to
none Of the objections referred to and
which gives better results than the
curling iron.
Just get few ounces of plain LIQUID
silmerine at your druggists and ap-
ply little to the hair at night with
a clean tooth brush, drawing this down
one strand at time from root to tip.
In the morning your hair will be as
beautifully wavy and curly as though

quite manageable, no matter what
