conducive to good business.
Within a short time, l except to send
in special message in regard to this
matter that will cover all the details
and outline several plans tnat can be
possibly worked out so that the council
can select what they think is the most
feasible plan and have it submitted to
the people for action.
Do not think there is any doubt in
the minds of the majority of the peo-
pie that the city should conduct this
business although there is, of course,
some difference of opinion as to how
the result should be accomplished.
Light Plant.
! am firm believer in the city con-
ducting the light plant as well as the
water supply for the city.
We nave a contract that is to run
four years more but steps should short
ly be taken so that when that time ex-
pires, we can have in operation a plant
large enough to take care Of the pri-
vate business as well as the street
lighting of the city.
There are several available sites
along the rivers near here that will
furnisn all the power needed and car
be secured at a nominal price.
The city should take steps to secure
their water power right now and MOI
wait until all sites are taken and theI
in few years have to pay some spec
ulator a large sum for grabbing some
thing that can be obtained at a very
low price now.
1t will take from two to three year.
to install plant and have it ready
for operation and the coming election
we should submit some proposition Il
be voted upon so that the city can b.
ready when the time comes.
| believe tnat a water power can b,
obtained at cost not to exceed $40,
600 that will furnish several times tn,
power used in city of this size ant
will take care of our light and powei
for many years to come.

MEN AND CHARITIES WORK.

The International Child Welfare League has
started an extensive campaign for the partlcu-
lar purpose of placing women IN charge OF
charities departments of the cities and states.
The campaign is based upon the belief enter
tanned in some quarters that mans chle1
thought is of property and that the woman s IS
of human life. From this foundation 1t IS
reasoned that women are much better fitted Tor
the management of charities because they place
the welfare of the child above property values;
while with man, the natural impulse is to give
the first consideration to the almighty dollar
In Keokuk it has been found that the best
method of conducting extensive charities work
is by cooperation Of men and women inns
has been the experience here, of The United
Charities organization, in which both sexes are
interested to an equal extent But IN any event.

Piled by the Child Welfare League, sentiment,
feeling and good business judgment are all

greatest good none Of these things can be

Well Known Remedy
Relieves Chronic c.,
Important to Dispose Of Waste from
the Stomach With
Regularity.

People frequently attribute to fail
ure of the digestive organs conditions
that are primarily due to inactive
bowels. and apply remedies that from
their very nature are more apt to az
gravate than to relieve the disorder.
When the bowels act regularly the
stomach is in better shape to perform
its allotted tasks and can usually be
depended upon. To keep the bowels
in condition, there is no more effec-
tive remedy than the combination Of
simple laxative herbs known as DR..
Caldwell's Syrup of Pepsin which is
sold in drug stores for fifty cents a
bottle.
Dr. Caldwell has prescribed this
remedy in his practice for over a
quarter of century and it is today

Chance Of Venue Granted.

PUEBLO, Colo, April 7.-On evil
dence that the life OF w. B. Slaughter
had been threatened here, his trial on
charges of wrecking the Mercantile
National bank of this city, was trans
ferred today to Denver, opening there
next Thursday.
Attorney Joseph B. Bailey for the
defense, moved for the transfer after
stating that Slaughter had received
anonymous threatening letters from
depositors Of the defunct bank who
lost their savings. Bailey also claim
ed that an impartial jury could not
be secured in Pueblo where feeling
is high against Slaughter and his
fugitive son, Coney, cashier OF the
bank.
Judge Robert Lewis. before whom
the hearing was held today, granted
the motion. He also gave the de-
tense permission to examine the
banks books. Bailey announced that
the defense would be ready for trial
Thursday If access to the books was
secured in time.

TODAY's BIT OF VERSE
FAITH AND FACT.

Our walls of faith won't hold unless act,
God scorns the pretext and He wants the fact.
This life empty had it faith alone
Without the willing spirit to atone
The bolts would rust, the of strongholds fly
Had faith fact with which to struggle by.
We slip so often in lives vexed
BY misunderstanding of the text.
BY faith alone sometimes think we'll rise
But God builds stronger ladders to the skies
Faith REINFORCED by service, deeds that count
When souls grow weary here and seek to mount
We cry repentance but do not repent,
And the strongholds of faith bent
And suddenly some wind of wrath goes by
And N the dust dreams of duty lie,
And we, like wandering children in the night,
Stand stunned houseless in truths piercing light

New Way to Make Apple
Dumplines
Served With Hard Sauce or Cream
and Suiar

By Mrs. Janet Mckenzie Hal1, Editor Of
the Boston Cooking School Magazine
Here is a new way to make apple
dunlplings that will surely please every
housewife, for it is not necessary to
have whole apples, and the juice cannot
run out and burn as with apple dump
lings where the apple is placed in the
center and the dough turned up around
it. The biscuit part forms crispy
shell that holds the apples and juice.

POOR TIME FOR A STRIKE.

The four thousand conductors, engineers
fremen and trainmen employed on the railroads
of the country have presented new hour and
new wage demands following those settled by
arbitration only short time ago. These de-
mands are for readjustment of the wage
schedules on the basis of an eight-hour day and
time and half pay for work over eight hours
What the railroads demand by way of the
preliminary reply is an ..'open door''-a full
discussion of the whole matter.
This is a wholly reasonable proposal The
trainmen are employed in what is virtually a
public service. Their claims are as with
a public interest. The roads themselves are
under public regulation as to their charges The
trainmen cannot fairly claim exemption from
public enlightenment and opinion in respect to
the reasonabeness of their charges which are
finally paid for by the public. Back of their de-
mands Is the threat Of strike which would tie
up all the roads and paralyze the business of the
whole country. If this is not public issue,

The case therefore calls for the fullest pres,
entation. Both sides should place all their
cards face up on the table where the public can
see them.

this to say:
