Ing at Local Church.

Professor Alfred ]. Pearson OF
Drake University, Des Moines, Iowa.
last night delivered lecture on
temperance in the Swedish Mission
church at union meeting of all the
Swedish churches of this city.
The speaker showed by COMPARE
son of wet and dry territory. that
the saloon is an economic waste, rails
ing taxes instead Of lowering them.
He maintained also that the argument
of personal liberty" often used IN
behalf of the saloon, is false. 1t en-
slaves men and their families instead
of setting them free. The speaker
discussed also the effect of alcoholic
drinks on health and home. He
showed by a reference to Maine,
Kansas, Alabama, Mississippi and
other prohibition states. that the pro-
hibition law can be enforced. II we
only see to it that we elect officers
for the community as we'll as the
state who are themselves dry and will
really try to enforce the law.
In abiding to the present contest
for governorship, he declared himself
in favor OF Mr.. Meredith as the dry
candidate.

Thls excellent, common-sense
health measure being

Physicians the world over recon-
mend the inside bath, claiming this is
of vastly more importance than OUT
side cleanliness, because the skin
pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, causing i'll health, while the
pores in the ten yards of bowels do.
Men and women are urged to drink
each morning, before breakfast a
glass of hot water with teaspoonful
Of limestone phosphate in it, as a
harmless means OF helping to wash

Former keokuk
People.

J. P. Ingle. manager Of the Keo-
kuk Electric company. returned to
Keokuk last night from a two weeks
business trip in the east, during
which he attended two important con-
ventions and visited the Stone and
Webster offices at Boston.
Mr.. lngle left Keokuk on October
Z. going directly to Atlantic City
where he attended the sessions OF the

ton which met on October 8 to 13.

conventions of its character Of the

to New York, where two days were
spent While in the metropolis he
looked up A. D. ,Ayres, former mana
ger OF the Keokuk Electric company,

After visiting Chicago and other
points. Mr.. Ingle returned to Keo.
kuk and said he was glad to get
home again. He says that the east
erners pay a great deal more atten-
ton to the war than the westerners
or middle westerners. Industrial bust
ness is booming through the immense
war orders that have been received.
The east seemed to be against Will
son, but was anxious to know how
the west stood. Politics were quiet
and the coming election was not
creating much of stir.

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 rs
kidneys are diseased, artcrial 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.

SHALL WE USE A PURE-BRED

Every breeder of stock should have
the desire of improving or raising
the standard of his foundation flock

styling desirable characteristics, be
they pure bred" or only "grade ami

To improve grade herd or to fol-
low the system known as grading"
we take Il common or unimprovcd an
imal and mate it with an improved
or pure-brcd animal Usually, the
pure bred is Il male for economic rca-
sons. If this system is followed to
the sixth generation we have an an
imal 98.4l per cent pure. And this
brings us to the important noint that
Il grade animal to the eye or for eco
nomic purposes may be Just as good
as Il purc-brcd. but for breeding pur-
poses is worthless because when used
all improvement stops and the pure
blood dminishcs in exactly the same
proportions as it has been gained.
One of the chief qualities desired
in Il breeding animal is "prcpoten-
cy," Il term used to mean superior
power to transmit hereditary char
actcristics. No animal can do this
unless the characters are intensified
in his own blood lines. Not only must
his blood he pure or practically so but
he must have Il straight ancestry all
