To the Editor Of The Gate City:

To the Editor of The Gate City:
In reply to Mr.. j. A. M. Collins
communication of June 21st, purport-
ing to give his explanation for the
apparent bad business transaction for
which he admits responsibility, wish
to ask other questions apropos of what
would be irrelevent matters, had he
not introduced them in his answer.
but which now need some answer.
What are the purely political purposes
referred to In the interest Of class
whose presence Is not tolerated In
Keokuk, and what is this class? Mr..
Collins says this discussion Is worked
up against him for such a purpose.
Just here allow me to ask the public
Ito rem ember that Mr.. Collins is an
experienced politician. So doubtless
he can answer these questions.
l admit Il have no personal claim
on Mr. Collins but the city has a claim
and I asked that the city be inform
ed OF the wherefore Of this transac-
ton. Mr. Collins has so informed 1t
by saying the harness was, by his ap-
Ipraisement, worth 800. Possibly
because said harness Is now of great
public interest and as such may have
grown in value rather than have de-
preciated only $40 from the time OF
purchase to the present time, If It evs-
was worth $120. But the advertise
ment describing this harness did not
say there were two sets Of swing
harness, but one set of swing harness
and one set of single harness. II the
set of swing harness cost $50, did the
single harness also cost $50? A local
harness dealer made the statement
and Is willing to stand behind it, tina.
he could duplicate the set Of double
harness and the set of single harness,
new, for SIS. And further may I call
to the attention of the public that
when the old harness of the West
Keokuk fire team was sold some four
years ago, it brought eight dollars
1--WE all make mistakes" How true
| 1t is! And how few of us but sadly
admit a mistake was made when we
did something that we did not expect
| to be found out but which neverthe
less was. For was the public to have
known the city accepted $400 fol
horses which could have brought $500!
When the news of this transaction
was published, the statement was
also published that the consideration
was not given out but it was under
stood to be much better mot as good
as, but much better than any prev.
ious bid.-It was indeed sad mistake

PALE BEAUTY FADES

The girl who comes home from school
or shop tired out every day may be
beautiful but she will soon fade. She
will be fortunate if she escapes physical
breakdown because the ease with which
she tires is probably the first warning
symptom of thinning of the blood that
cannot be disregarded.
Thin blood may give an attractive pail
Tor for short time but soon the patient
becomes thin. flat-chested, haggard and
angular. The only beauty that endures
is that of rich, red blood shining through
a transparents skin.
Almost any girl can build up her blood
by using DIR. Williams Pink Pills. They
are useful to growing girls, to pale girls,
thin girls and those who get tired or out
of breath easily. Mothers of such girls
should see to it that the tendency to.
anemia is checked by the use of DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills before the trouble be-
comes chronic.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills will build up
the blood if anything wiA. They are
free from opiates or harmful drugs and
can be taken with perfect safety By any
one. Your own druggist sells them 80
you can begin the treatment at once. A

USING SOAP
SPOILS THE HAIR

Soap should be used very sparing-
w, if at all, if you want to keep your
hair looking its best. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali. This dries the scalp, makes thet
hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use Z;
lust ordinary mulsified cocoanut gil
(Which is pure and greaseless), IS
cheaper and better than soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls Will
cleanse the hair and scalp Thoroughly.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in. 1t makes an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, which
rinses out easily. removing every par
ticle of dust, dirt, dandruf and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves the scalp
soft, and the hair fine and silky,
bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, and few ounces
