PALE SCHOOL CHILDREN

This is the time OF the year that school
children grow pale. Confined indoors,
for many hours day, studying at night,
perhaps, deprived Of much out-of-door
exercise, their blood grows thin. Conn
pare your child's complexion with what
1t was last summer. Probably you have
not realized how thin the blood was get
ting because the change was 30 gradual.
When q child formerly bright and
active loses color and finds play an eff
fort, but prefers to sit stiff and read,
there is every reason to suspect that the
blood is getting thin, that the child is
anemic. Sometimes there Is headache
and nosebleed. These confirm the sus-
picion. It is condition that is full Of
danger, for thin blood is an open door to
many diseases, especially during change
ful weather. But it is condition that ia
easily remedied if taken in time. DR..
Williams Pink Pills can be obtained at
any drug store. A fifty-cent box con-
tains about two weeks treatment and
these pills are great blood-builder and
lnvlgorator. They are just the sort Of
non-alcohoGc tonic that many children
need.

cine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. for the free

Whv Tolerate CataTTh?

You have noticed, no doubt, that any
cold aggravates nasal catarrh, and the
flow of mucous amazes you that such
Objectionable matter could find lodg-
ment in your head. To ignore this
catarrh when the cold subsidies is
wrong because it continues to slowly
injure the delicate Innings of the nasal
passages and clog them up.
To correct catarrh, cleanse the nos
trils frequently with solution ofwarm
water and salt, insert vaseline on re-
firing, and take a spoonful of SCOTS
Emulsion after meals for one month.
SCOTS acts through the blood to feed
the tissues, and contains soothing
glycerine to check the Inflammation
and heal the sensitive membranes.
Scott's is pleasant TO take.

There was an ice gorge in the river

that there will be much danger from

the ice tenders on the dam will take

the floating pieces will be washed

This is One Of the Objects Of the

Given Approval by

The following letter. addressed to
the citizens, is written by the Rev.
John C. Sage, president of the United
Charities society OF Keokuk:
The present cold weather doubtless
makes the average citizen draw his
warm clothing more snugly about him,
get into his warm nook near the fire,
and thank God that he has home of
comfort. But does that same citizen
stop to think OF those In our fair city
who have no warm clothing, little
fire for comfort and less provision
for their bodily needs? The officers
Of the United Charities are continual
" brought face to face with the prob
lem of giving such relief as is pos
sible to the destitute. forsaken and
needy. How shall they relieve dis.
tress? The United Charities offers its
services as the agent OF the benevol-
ent and the kind-hearted citizen. It
can only distribute what 1t receives
Just now the need is urgent, and the
response should be speedy to the ap-
peal of this agency which has the
approval Of all who know the good
work 1t Is doing. hope the articles
in this paper now being published
daily are being read by thousands of
our citizens Shall the plea they make
fall on deaf ears? think not, for
the people of Keokuk are kindly and
generous towards every good work.
What is needed now is quick and
ready response to the efforts now be-
ing made for funds to carry on its
work.
conserves Efforts.
The United Charities is move
ment to conserve the money and ef-
fort of our charitably disposed citi-
zens. Through its secretary it is con-
stantly in touch with all the distress
ing conditions of our city. Every case
Of need is investigated. and the worthy
and needy are cared for by its agency.
But let it be remembered that the
United Charities Is simply the agent
of our citizens. 1t can not disburse
what 1t has not received And it does
nisburse with the greatest efficiency
that which is provided. Just now a
committee OF our leading business
men, convinced Of the value OF this
organization, are calling upon our
citizens to secure the needed funds to
continue the good work which the
United Charities has done for two
years past in this community. Those
in closest touch with local conditions
approve OF its methods, and have evil
dence of its worth to our community
as a social agency which can not be
allowed to anguish. The board of
directors calls attention at this time
to the pressing need of money to
carry on its work. Will not every
reader Of this letter be prepared to
generously contribute when the COM
mittee of business men call, or better
still, send in your contribution, as
large as you can make it, to Mr..
