AIDS TO DIGESTION

Whatever improves bodily conditions
In general aids digestion.
Cheerfulness, exercise, fresh air, baths
and good habits make your digestion bet
ter able 10 take care of any burdens you
impose upon it. But the greatest aid to
good digestion is good blood. Anemia,
or thin blood, is common cause of indi-
gestion. Normal action of the stomach
is impossible without healthy, well-oxi-
died blood.
Dyspepsia which does not yield to ordi-
nary treatment may be quickly corrected
when the blood is enriched. Many peo-
pie have secured relief from chronic forms
OF indigestion by the use of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills which make the blood rich
and red, capable of carrying an increased
amount of oxygen, the great supporter
OF human life.
Have you ever seriously considered Civ
ing DR.. Williams Pink Pills a trial to
tone up your digestion, increase your
vitality and make life better worth liv-
ing? If your blood is thin and your d.
gestion weak you certainly need them.
Send for a diet book. 1t is free and will
help you decide.
Your own druggist sells DR.. Willians'
Pink Pills or they will be mailed post
paid on receipt of price, so cents per box,
six boxes So so, by the DR.. Williams

established at keokuk, providing the
campaign which the Keokuk Indus
trial association has started, is car
sr1ed through successfully. Congress
is going to be asked to establish a
plant at Keokuk where munitions of
war for the government will be manu-
featured. The accessibility of electric
power in unlimited quantities, the 10.
cation of Keokuk, far enough inland
to make it safe from coast invasions,
the fact that the Industrial association
has the location and will give it for
the plant, the situation on the river
which would provide cheap and easy
transportation in government barges
of light draught boats, the proximity
to the largest black powder mill in the
lcountry-these are all some of the
things which will be urged upon con.
gress as the reason for picking Keo.
kuk for the site of a munitions plant
The Industrial association is pre-.
pairing letters to congress from Iowa
and from this district, asking them to
use their influence to have Keokuk
made one of the cities In which a
munitions plant will be located This

lpeeiing the Skin is
Better Thar, Bleaching

Ever since the discovery that mer-
colized wax would absorb and remove
discolored complexion, its use by
ladies as q substitute for bleaching
creams has grown rapidly. A perfect
complexion can be obtained indeS-
nitely if this remarkable substance is
used. Its beneficent cleansing, clear
ing and preservative action is quick
ly apparent and ladies who have been
paying high prices for special
bleach from beauty specialists, soon
recognize that mercolized wax out
ranks them all. 1t has become so
popular that it can be obtained at all
druggists, who have it in original
one-ounce packages. The favorite
way of using is to apply it, like cold
cream, before retiring, washing it Off
in the morning.
The saxoite lotion for wrinkles and
the facial contour has also become eX-
tremely popular. One ounce powdered
saxclite is dissolved in one-half pint
witch hazel. Bathing the face in this
has a splendid effect in erasing
wrinkles and improving contour.

To ASK CONGRESS- To PUT N
. MUN|T|0N PLANT At KE0KUK

Is going to be urged upon congress for
number Of reasons, all of them good,
ana all OF them Of the calibre that
can be backed up If the government
cares to investigate the claims Of
keokuk to have such plant.
In the frst place there is the natur.
al situation OF the city. Keokuk is
sufficiently far inland to make it per-
fectly safe, from possible attack in the
event Of hostile troops landing.
And then there is the unlimited pow
Ter which can be secured here from
the hydroelectric plant in the river.
This power will always be generated,
and the government can use it to adj
vantage and in times Of war could
control it, it is believed.
Keokuk is becoming the center OF
industries which will make copper,
lead and zinc products which are used
in the manufacture of munitions.

sIo Powder Plant Here.


powder mills in the country. 1t might
be possible by changing machinery at
any time to convert the DUPONT mills
at Mooar into a gun powder plant.
Then the government with a munitions
plant here would practically have two
big plants to draw from.
The transportation problem Is not
a difficult one for Keokuk. Situated
on the river, there is plenty Of chance
of cheap transportation to the gulf.
It is figured that the government with
light draught boats or fleet OF barges
could transport these munitions in
easy fashion. Rail transportation to
either coast could be made in short
time, the hackers OF the idea believe.
All of these ideas will be set forth
in the letter which will be written to
the congressman asking their aid and
co-operation.
Plan Looks Feasible.
1.-THE plan looks like mighty good
one, the more you study it," one of the
industrial association officers said to-
day. 1--WE are going to make an at
tempt to secure the plant here, and we
believe that we have inducements suf-
ticient to bring congress around to our
way of thinking"
The letters boosting Keokuk for
this place will be sent to congressman
at once.
