River Smelling and Refining
Co., Talks to Directors Of
Association.

Machines Which Have Been Causing
Delay Are Arriving and
Work VIII be Started
Coon.

r. G. Hall, general manager of the
River Smelling and Aeining company
told the directors of the Keokuk In
dustrial association, at their regular
meeting last night, that the local re-
finery expected to get to work with its
full force about April 1. There have
been some delays, due to the slowness
in getting machinery here. The local
plant has been tested out, however
and will be ready for work within a
fortnight.
Mr.. Hall told the directors that he
expected to be able to cover the en-.
tire plot OF ground of 100 acres with
factories, and in confidence told them
Of some of the contracts which al
ready have been closed, or which will
be closed in a short time. From all
Indications, it looks as If the big re-
finery here will not be long without
subsidiary plants OF its own.
Satisfactory arrangements have
been made with the Keokuk Water
company to supply water to the River
Smelling and Refining company's
plant here and the pumping station,
which will be built in the meantime,
will be used in connection with the
expansion of the plants on the Daley
tract. The city water mains are being
extended to take in the tire plant and
the refinery.
Routine matters were taken up fol-
lowing the short talk by Mr.. Hall. The
report OF the real estate committee on
Keokuk Heights, and other routine
business was discussed
The directors had dinner. as usual,
at O'Clock, and following the dinner.
held their meeting in one Of the pri-
vate rooms upstairs.

A GIRLS COMPLEXION

Very few girls get through their teens
without eruptions or pirnples showing on
their faces.
These may be due to Indigestion result
ing from improper diet. II so they will
quickly disappear when the proper food
is adhered to. Ii they are accompanied
by pallor and listlessness you must look
to the condition of the blood.
Because these eruptions on the faces Of
school girls are so common they seldom
receive the attention from parents that
they require. When they indicate thin
blood or anemia there is ready remedy
in DR.. Williams Pink Pills. These tonic
pills, free from harmful drugs, are pretty
sure to help growing girls because they
build up the blood at a time when the
demand on it is greatest. As the blood
