Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 24.-Joy pre-
vailed in the hearts of Pittsburg

burg Bank for Savings, which was

the State Department OF Banking.
The deposits amount to $167,136.6S,

ments can be completed, which will
probably be about January 3.

fore Christmas, announcement was
made that the bank had been closed

of children were depositors, he at
once communicated with II. G. Nc
Eldowney, president Of another bank,
and announced that he would take
care Of the fund in such a way that
the school children would not lose a
cent. The proposal was submitted
to G. H. Getty, receiver for the closed
institution, who secured the approval
Of the State Banking Commissioner
to assist in carrying out the plan. Mr..
Frick specified in his proposal that
the children were to receive their
money without delay.

View Into Soft Drink Pariors Must be
Unobstructet Commits
sioners Decided
Yesterday.
GIVEN SHORT NOTICE
Proprietors Have Twenty-four Hours
In Which to Remove Screens and
Clean Paint From
Windows.

Screens in Keokuk's soft drink par
lors are taboo According to a ukase
issued yesterday afternoon by the city
commissioners, all such screens and
Instructions to vision in these estab-
lishments must be removed by to
night.
Chief OF Police Charles H. Henne.
mann notified the proprietors OF the
places of the action of the authori-
ties, and gave them twenty-four
hours in which. to remove the screens,
and in two cases, to scrape the paint
off the windows. All the men prom
ised to comply with the order without
trouble.
The action was taken after confer.
ence between Mayor Lotion and Fred
Hilpert Jr., commissioner OF public
safety. The screens and painted win
dows make 1t more difficult matter
TO make enforcement Of the prohibi-
tory law certain.
Several soft drink parlors have been
raided by the police for alleged
LIQUOR selling recently. Many have
criticised the use Of screens by the
places, and nearly all the propr1etors
told Chief Hennemann yesterday ait
ernoon, when he explained the matter
to them, that it was really for their
hest interests to remove the obstruc.
tions to view, as well as an aid to the
police department in enforcing the
law.

Iowa Boosters Are Showing Great
Deal Of Interest In the New
Safety First" Regu-
latlons.
A UNIVERSAL SYSTEM
Nationwide Cooperation Between the
Railroads and Pub
tic Service Com
missions.

Members Of the Iowa railroad com.
mission and other safety first boost
ers have expressed great interest in
recently published statements that
there is to be nationwide cooperation
between public service commissions
and railroads in an effort to bring
about uniform system Of signaling
at grade crossings to the end that
there may be fewer accidents to auto
mobiles and other traffic.
According to published reports for
the year ending June 80, 1914. 1,147
were killed at grade crossings and
1885 were injured These figures, it
is said, are the latest available but
many believe that with the decrease
in the price of automobiles and the
consequent increase of the number OF
motor cars in use the number CT
grade crossing accidents steadily is
increasing. Following is a statement
made by a Des Moines citizen, one OF
the first in the state to devote serious
study to the safety first movement:
From the time that great indus.
tries sounded the slogan safety first,
sporadic efforts have been made in
some states to devise some method
for safeguarding more efficiently dan.
gerous crossings where travel is com
paratively heavy. t Is believed by
many railroad men and public off
Gals that the majority Of the acct
dents would be prevented if proper
warning could be given of the prox.

Doctors Eat This
Cereal Instead of
Drugs for Their
Own Bowels

No one realizes 30 well as the physician
himself, the harm that comes from con-
tinued use Of drugs to regulate the bowels.
Until recently, drugs, mineral waters and
oils seemed the only dependable relief, but
today many doctors, a large number Of hospt-
tails and sanitariums are prescribing and u.s.
ing cereal that is composed Of the finest
selected wheat faxed and toasted, crushed
dax seed roasted, and given delicious taste
by savoring with ground celery seed and
salt. It is highly efficient even in obstinate
chronic cases Of constipation and usually
gives quick relief to the various degrees Of
indigestion and stomach trouble. This new
cereal is as delicious to eat as any break
fast food, or ready to serve cereal when
eaten with sugar and milk or fruits. Ask
your grocer for Uncle Sans Health Food
and quit the use of drugs, pills and mineral
waters. Your own doctor probably knows
nbout it-most physicians do and recon-
mend it to their patients and use it In their
own families. A prominent New Haven
physician, whose name we win give on re-
quest, recently said: 81 have ordered Uncle
Sans Health Food for several patients who
required laxative food with very salts
factory results-both to them and myself"
If your family grocer does not have It
write to Uncle Sans Breakfast Food Co.,
Omaha, Nebr.. and they will tell you Of
grocer in your neighbornood who keeps 1t
regularly in stock crisp and fresh. A well
known Binghamton physician says: "Thfs
Is the best food preparation I know Of for
stomach and bowel trouble" You win make
no mistake In trying it, no matter how
obstinate your case my be.
