Board Discusses Situation.

IT will explain that the board OF
control has been discussing the matter
of putting convicts to work getting out
stone for building and roads purposes
said Senator McColl. 81 made a secret
trip to a certain county in the state
where there is tract Of eighty acres
OF land where red granite is available.
If we get the tract, it will provide
work for all of the prisoners. The diff
ticulty we have to overcome is to get
a switch in from railroad three
miles away"
Mr.. Davis, who is a member Of the
better roads commission appointed by
Governor Clarke to investigate the
road problem in Iowa, explained the
work OF the commission and told how
the employment Of convicts on road
work would be profitable to the men
and the state. In the discussion which
followed the paper he was asked to
define the term hard roads"

Thin Men and Women
Here's Safe and Easy Way by Which
You May Gain 10 Pounds or More
Of Solid, Healthy, Per
manent Flesh.

Thin, nervous, undeveloped men and
women everywhere are heard to say,
can't understand why I do not get
rat. eat plenty of good nourishing
1000 The reason Is just this: You
cannot get fat, no matter how much
you eat, unless your digestive organs
assimilate the fat-making elements of
your food instead Of passing them
out through the body as waste.
What is needed is means of gently
urging the assimilative functions OF the
stomach and intestines to absorb the
oils and fats and hand them over to
the blood, where they may reach the
starved, shrunken, rundown tissues
and build them up. The thin persons

hungry for the fatty materials Of
which 1t is being deprived by the fail
ure OF the alimentary. canal to take
them from the food. A splendid way
of working to overcome this sinful
waste Of flesh building elements and
to stop the leakage of fats is to try
Sargol. the famous flesh building agent
that has been SO widely sold in Amer
lea in recent years. Take little Sar-
gol tablet with every meal and see If
your cheeks don't quickly fill out and
rolls OF firm, healthy flesh form over
your body, covering each bony angle
and projecting point. All good drug
gists have Sargoi or can get It from
their wholesaler, and will refund your
money if you are not satisfied with the
gain in weight it produces as stated on
the guarantee in each large package.
1t is inexpensive, easy to take and
highly efficient.

SUDDEN DEATH
Caused by Disease Of the Kidneys.

The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
well known nowadays. AS soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension Is
increased and the heart functions are
attacked. When the kidneys no longer
pour forth waste, uremic poisoning
occurs and the person dies. and the
cause is often given as heart disease, or
disease of brain or lungs.

RECREATION HAS
ARTICLE ON DAM
How Water Sports Have Been I'M
proved by Creation of Lake,
is Told in Story.

The December issue OF Recreation
contains an article on the Keohuk
dam and recreation by Stanley Snow.
The article is an illustrated one, and
views from around Keokuk are used
in the magazine. One view shows one
,of the sailboats belonging to G. r.
Joy. There Is another taken during
the regatta here in 1913, showing the
Oregon Kid coming down the race
course. throwing spray and hitting the
top of the high rollers. Another view
shows the corner of the power house
and steamboat lock, and the dam.
This one was taken from the bluff at
Second street. Other pictures show
canoeing and there is a big picture
Of the steamer quincy in the forebay.
The article covers the various
phases Of recreation which have been
developed with the building of the
power plant and dam. Canoeing has
been made possible and sailboating
and INCORPORATING likewise. The
article deals with the possibilities af-
forded by the river drive and how
convenient is the situation for coun-
try clubs.

the intention Of the bureau of natur-

plicants for citizenship In the United
States, wherever they are to be
found, and to secure the opening of
classes for them During the current
scholastic year all superintendent Of
schools where classes may be formed
will receive monthly from the bureau
the name, address, age, nationality

corning each alien residing within
their jurisdiction who files a declara-
ton of intention or petition for natu-
ralization. In this manner the school
authorities are enabled to get in touch
with such applicants and affords
them valuable assistance in preparing
for citizenship. In addition to this
the bureau informs each applicant for
citizenship that his name has been
forwarded to the educational authori-
ties, advises him to go to school and
points out the benefits to be derived
from such attendance. The bureau is
also working in close. cooperation
with various patriotic and civic bodies
of the country to secure the opening
Of public night schools where there
are none.
The wives OF all petitioners Tor

tend school, for the reason that they
derive citizenship when their hus-
bands obtain their final papers, and
because, too, such instruction win ma

Tom and Jerry
in Their Final
Appearance Here

Tom and Jerry. those two ebullient
twins. are back again for their annual
visit. Men who frequent Keokuk
bars and buffets. likewise thirst en-
poriums, once more are renewing &C.
quaintance with Thomas and Jere-
miah and it is said that many Of
those who are doing the renewing
are pleased beyond expression at the
opportunity. 1t is just about this
time of year that Tom and his pal.
who make a strong warm pair, pay
their annual visit here. The annual
pilgrimage to the shrine of Bacchus
on the part of many local citizens was
delayed this year on account Of the
Unreasonable weather. Business is
better with Tom and Jerry when the
mercury hovers about the zero mark
and when old Boreas, king of the
arctic circle region, uncorks a few
chilling blasts.
There is vein and tinge of sad
ness connected with Tom and Jerry's
visit to this city this year. This
marks their last appearance In their
well known role in Iowa, and next
holiday season they will be holding
forth in other regions. 1t is predict
ed by anti-saloon league people tina:
I ON and Jerry laye played their .ast
engagement In IOWA ana that never
again shall the jovial pair enliven the
holiday season here.
Friends of Tom and Jerry are In
clined to shift the blame for their
forthcoming departure from the
haunts and scenes in this city, to the
last general assembly which by due
process OF law legislated the duo out
of the state after the first Of the
year. Unlike James J. Jeffries and
hosts of others who have taken the
count for good. supporters Of this
Dam on and Pythlas pair. always in
separable, believe that they will come
back. This is subject to considerable
heated argument whenever any such
calamity even is suggested Be that
as it may they now occupy the place
OF honor in the home of the cock
tail, the fizs, and the beer.
The onward march of time has
made no change in old Tom and
Jerry Those who lay some claim
to the title of good judges even have
gone so far as to say that the good
old pair have improved with antiq-
uity. There has been no change in
the price. it is said, although the
scarcity Of fresh eggs has reduced
the profit, the dispensers OF liquid
enjoyment say. The other ingredi-
ents, whisky. rum and sugar remain
stationary in price,

roads be built Of any one material, but
that each locality shall decide the
method and material to be used.
In closing, Mr.. Davis urged that 1t
is necessary to anticipate road taxes
by issuing bonds if the state is to get
good roads. He said that the rail
roads would probably give special
low rate for hauling crushed stone for
road work IL the material could be
handled in train loads. In his opinion
the railroads are as much interested
in improving the highways as the
farmers are.
