A Chi, If the Old Block.

Cherokee Times: 1t is announced
that Senator Frederick Larrabee, or
Fort Dodge. will not be candidate
for reelection to the state senate.
This will be decided loss to the
state, for Senator Larrabee was one
of the most capable and effective
members of the senate. He is en-
dowed with some of the good sense
that characterized the public service
of his father, and has always Kept
in mind the interests OF the people
of the state as whole in preference
TO those of any community or special
interest. Without any blare OF trum-
pets or appeals to the grandstand ne
went about the business OF the state
in the same careful, conscientious
way that he would look after his own
private affairs. and while he believed
in generous support Of the state
schools and institutions. no pubic
money was ever wasted through his
sanction. There are too few men OF
the Frederic Larrabee stripe In pub
lie life.

IN SURA N G e
Against Sudden Death.

Before an Insurance Company will
take risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and report
whether you aye good risk. When
your kidneys get sluggish and clog,
you suffer from backache, sick-head-
ache, dizzy spells, or the twinges and
pains of lumbago, rheumatism and
govt. The urine is often cloudy, full
of sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep lie disturbed two or three
times night. This is the time you
should consult some physician of wide
experience-such as DR.. Pierce of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, n. Y. Send him 10 cents for
sample package of his new discovery,
"Anuric-" Write him Your symptoms
and send sample of urine for test.
Experience has taught DIR. Pierce that
"Anuric" is the most powerful agent
in dissolving uric acid, as hot water
melts sugar; besides being absolutely
harmless it is endowed with other
properties, for it preserves the kidneys
in a healthy condition by thoroughly
cleansing them. Being so many times
more active than lithia, it clears the
heart valves OF any sandy substances
which may clog them and checks the
degeneration OF the blood vessels, as
well as regulating blood pressure:
eAnuric" is a regular insurance and
life-sayer for all big meat eaters and those
Who deposit lime-salts in their joints.
Ask the druggist for " Anuric" put up
by DR.. Pierce, in 50-ceut packages.

AUTOMOBILES AND COURTESY.

AT meeting Few days ago OF the
National Automobile Chamber OF
Commerce, movement was started
to promote greater consideration for
public safety and comfort. The cour-
tesies OF the road are to be empha-
sized and the effort made to create
better standards OF good manners on
the public highways, says the Bur
lington Gazette.
The automobile manufacturers who
make up this organization evidently
realize the difficulty Of this problem
Of adjusting motor vehicles to condi-
tons of traffic created long before
the motor car came into existence.
1t has sometimes seemed az IL the
motorist was one of intolerance to-
ward a slow. dull public, who were
behind the times enough TO walk OF
depend on horses. This is, OF course,
unfair to the great majority of motor
lists. who are careful and considerate
But no matter how courteous the
great majority may be, the reckless
and arrogant minority give a bad
name to the whole tribe Hence it is
refreshing to read that this chamber
of commerce is planning campaign
of education for such drivers as need
it, to promote a greater degree of re.

LIABILITY FOB FIRES.

A feature OF fire prevention progress
during the last year was sentiment
for fixing the responsibility for pre-.
yentabie fires ON the negligent in
dividual and furnishing him according
iv, either by assessing the total cost
of the fire against him, or, in case OF
fires causing loss Of life, by holding
him criminalIy responsible. Contrary
to European custom, fires In this coun-
try have teen regarded. generally. as
the work of chance, and little atten-
ton has been paid to criminal neg
iligence. The total loss by fire in the
United States during 1915 Is estimat-
ed at S172,671 900 by the Insurance
Press, and there Is little doubt that
much OF this loss was preyentable and
would have been less ii the persons re-
sponsible for conditions resulting in
fires were held criminally liable. The
National Association of Credit Men
and National Paint, Oil and yarnish
in convention last year
adopted resolutions faToring the
recognition of the principle OF in
diyfdual responsibility for fires. This
was also approved by the Association
of Fire Engineers, by the Fire Mar
shals' Association OF North America
and at various meetings of insurance
men and others interested in the pre-
vention of fires. The Pacific Coast
Association of Fire Chiefs, meeting at
San Francisco, spent full day in dis
GUESSING ways and means to bring
about the passage Of laws that would
penalize persons causing fires through
careIessness.
Persons responsible for fires at
Pittsburgh ard New York last year
were indicted by grand juries under
existing laws. The principle Is recog-
nized when a railroad man is arrested
for negligence which causes wreck,
or when damages are awarded against
city, or corporation, for neglect that
causes an accident.

PRAcrIcINe AND PREACHING.

The Journal of the American Medi-
cal association is one OF the most
valuable special publications In the
world. It's advance sheets, sent around
to newspaper Offices a day or two be-
fore the magazine is issued. are
priced by every editor. But this week
those sheets contain an unintended
laugh, as well as some conscious good
advice. Note ,nis:
The waiting rooms of city and coIn-
try oculists alike are crowded, day
after day, and week after week, by
people who have been criminally
negligent of their vision. Reading too
fine print, unleaded and often On
glossy paper, is responsible for much
of the mischief.
True as gospel, says the Chicago
Journal. But this excellent counsel
was printed on the glossiest kind of
paper, in nonpareil type-considerably
finer than that used above-and set
in wide columns, which always put
great strain on the eyes when the
type ia small. It was leaded-that is,
the lines were kept well apart-and,
from typographical point OF view,
that was the only good feature OF
the job.
Isn't this one place where the doc
tor ought to take his own prescrip-
ton?

Voice Of the People
Mr.. Rovane,s suoee stIons.

IThe following is an open letter
addressed to the Keokuk Industrial
association. Ed.
l would like to offer suggestion
that you appoint committee or in
struct your legislative committee to
confer with the city commissioners
with the idea OF having the bridge
company, the railroad company and
the water power company join With
needed improvement on our, river
front. 50
My object In Offering this sugge&
ton is simply to relieve the tax pay
ers of an added burden that to my
mind seems most unjust, as these
named corporations are mainly re-
sponsible for the present depiorable
condition of our river front and they
should be requested and required to
make this much needed Improvement,
ami impeIied further to say thai
the tendency of the times seems 10
be to add to the burden of our people
without an equal benefit. II this
body would give the same consideras
ton to the burdens OF our people
that they do in trying to obtain fac
tories and other needed assets, things
would be more equalized. In that
event we could feel sure that we
would not be called upon to pay foI
such improvements as the new
bridge approach and that the proper
one, the Keokuk and Hamilton
Bridge company, woul.i be required q.
pay for and to maintain their own
approaches. ~
Just one more suggestion. I would
call your attention to the extremely.
dangerous railroad crossing at Fifth
and Cedar streets. There has been
no less than six accidents at this
crossing the past year. As late az
today the switching train struck and
demolished an automobile Providen-
tally, no one was killed. II you wish
to assist In saving YOUR fellow towns
men from death of broken limbs. also

THE MAN WHO FAILS.

THE MAN WHO FAILS.
The man who fails is the sort OF a
chap
Who is always looking around for a
snap;
Who neglects his work 10 regard the
clock;
Who never misses a chance to knock.
He is grouchy and slow when work
begins;
Wnen it's time TO quit, he jokes and
grins,
He's always as busy as busy can be,
When he thinks the boss is around
TO see.
He believes that pull is the only
BY which he can ever draw bigger
pay;
And he gulks and growls when he
sees his plan
Upset By the push" Of another man.
He's on his job when he draws his
pay;
That done, he soldiers his time away;
While the men who tackle their jobs
with vim
Keep pushing and climbing ahead of
him.
Tor the man who fails has himself
TO blame,
IL he wastes his chances and misses
his aim;
He'd win. if he'd use his hands and
wits:
The man who fails is the man who
quits.
