Don't Drug
Your Baby's
Bowels

| To drug a baby's bowels seems useless
and cruel, for If baby is old enough to take
medicine he is old enough to eat cereal
food that will cause the bowels to per-
form their functions In . perfectly natural
manner.
There is not drop Of medicine IN Uncle
Sans Health Food, yet physicians through
lout the country recommend 1t to their
Ina tients for relief Of chronic constipation
and stomach trouble and many Of them
praise it for producing splendid results In
their own case.
Eaten with sugar and milk or cream It Is
las delicious and appetizing as any ready to
lserye breakfast food, and it is positive yet
lmild in its action. This makes 1t especially
desirable for delicate women and small
children, even for infants when the bowels
|are irregular or inefficient in action One OF
the leading grocers in Buffalo 1--WE will give
you his name on request) wrote US recently,

amount due the city on basis Of
percent the city may be entitled to
damages of $4,000 from the power
company, according to the report.
The .enginee d placed the basis Of
their claim on the fact that the city
had ample sewerage and an unim-
paired possibility of enlarging the
.eystem without meeting with obstacles
as to the proper flow. Since the cree
ton OF the dam and the backing of
the water in this river the entire
sewer system of the city has been
impaired, 1t was stated.
The amount stated as damages to
the city, is given as the difference in
the cost OF placing the sewer system
into proper working condition over
present conditions, difference made
necessary through the impairment OF
the sewer system by the power com
pany.

This Splendid Morning
Habit.

Why Is man and woman, half the

If we would practice the drinking

fast, what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands of
half-sick, manufacturing souls with
pasty, muddy compilations we should
see crowds Of happy, healthy, rosy
checked people everywhere. The rea-
son is that the human system does not
rid itself each day of all the waste
which it accumulates under our pres
ent mode of living For every ounce
Of food and drink taken into the sys-
tenn nearly an ounce of waste material
must be carried out, else 1t ferments
and forms ptomaine-like poisons in
the bowels which are absorbed into
the blood.
Just as necessary as it is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each day,
before the fire will burn bright and
hot, so We must each morning clear
the inside organs Of the previous
days accumulation of indigestible
waste and body toxins. Men and
women, whether sick or well, are adj
vised to drink each morning, before
breakfast, a glass of real hot water
with teaspoonful of limestone phos-
phate in it, as harmless means Of
washing out of the stomach, liver
kidneys and bowels the indigestible
material, waste, sour bile and toxins:
thus cleaning, sweetening and puri-
flying the entire alimentary canal be-
fore putting more food into the stom-
ach.
Millions OF people who had their
turn at constipation, bilious attacks,

about the morning fnside-bath. A
quarter pound Of limestone phosphate
will not cost much at the drug store,
but is sufficient to demonstrate to
anyone, it's cleansing, sweetening and

as the prosperity of his business.
His progressive methods have won
him recognition wider than merely in
this locality for he has been president
for eight years of the Western Pack
ers' association and was author of
their constitution and bylaws. and
was also president for fifteen years
of the National Pickle Packers asso-
citation. AS president of these organi-
cations he has used his abilities to
do much toward securing intelligent
cooperation between m embers and to
do away with many abuses of the
trade.
1t has not been only in his own
business, however, that he has en-
ployed his energies. Keokuk has been
much to him always and for Keokuk
he has worked unt1ringly. The list
Of his activities is almost endless, the
first Water Power association, the In
dustrial association, the bringing Of
factories to keokuk in the past and
in the present, and the improvement
Of shipping facilities for the city. He
has been member Of the vestry Of
Saint johns church for TWEEN
ty-three years, and has rem
ueToQ services CQeTe 10 al eA-
! tent that probably no one can actual

| Music club have owed much Of their
prosperity to his aid. He served four
years on the Keokuk city council. He
was a member Of the Grand Army Of
the Republic and Of the Loyal Legion.
/ Married In 1870.

Illinois; William, deceased, and Lees
Ballinger, residing at Lansing, Michi-
gan, the manager Of the Keokuk Can
ming company for that district Four
grandchildren also survive, Bal
linger and Edith Fyffe and Ellen and
Margaret Ballinger. And beyond
these there IS a host of friends. of
business associates and of fellow citi-
zens who will deeply and sincerely
mourn his going.

WANT BETTER

Iowa Travelling Men Before Railroad
Commission Want Different
Luggage Laws.

Travelling men of the state have
started action before the Iowa state
railroad commission to secure more
favorable terms for carrying of bag
gage by railroad companies. The com
mission has fixed Sept. II as the date
for a conference at Waterloo at the
office of c. r. Rohde, at which com
mittee of the Travellers Protective as
sociation will present the matter
The committee says that the rail.
roads in Iowa are discriminating
against the public in the matter OF
charging for excess baggage. The
travellers assert that:
While the railroads in Nebraska
carry 200 pounds of baggage free, the
roads in Iowa charge for all weight
over leo pounds.
In Missouri the roads grant free
storage OF baggage from Friday until
Monday noon; in Iowa the free period
extends from Saturday morning to
Monday noon.
There is no reason why Iowa should
not enjoy the same privileges with
regard to baggage as Nebraska, the
travelling men assert. They not only
want better terms in Iowa but they
want uniform rules with regard tc
storage.
The excess baggage problem Is i'm
portant to some lines of business
Some travelling men carry heavy sam
pie trunks. Many others have outfits
which are between $50 and 200 pounds
If the 200 pound minimum is adoptet
in Iowa on excess baggage, the drum

The committee representing the T
IP. A. is composed Of c. R. Rohde Of

and A. R. Furst of Mason City.

 On the Niagara frontier few regu- lars and militia crossed to Queenstown, drove the British out and later lost the battle because the rest of the militia men refused to go out of the state.

 In this year we had G5,000 soldiers under pay. while the British had but f,200 men in upper Canada. The Amer ican loss in killed. wounded and pris- onerS in the various actions of the year was about 2,300, almost two victims for every one of the enemy in upper Canada,
 The diSgraceful failures at the be ginning of the war were added to and eliminated in the capture and the burning of the capitol at Washington in 1874, after a force of militia, sup posed from it's numbers to be adequate, had fled before the invaders.
 Navy a National Institution.
 The brilliant success in this war of our forces on the sea is no part of this story of the nations military pol icy. The navy succeeded because its maintenance had never been intrusted to the states, nor had the government depended upon nasty pudding" ar engagement on sea as had been done in military matters.
 All the mistakes of the Revolution had been repeated and new mistakes were made in the conduct of the strug. gle in 1872.
 Civilian judgment Tn military mat ters had once more prolonged war lost an opportunity to gain Canada. and ignorantly sent many men to their deaths.
 Throughout the war of 1872 we cm- ployed from beginning to end 527,654 troops to cope with the enemys force of less than 16.500 men for two and onehalf years.

 In striking contrast to all this was the splendid series of successive victo- Ties in the Mexican War, ending with the capture of Mexico City.
 Of the many conditions entering into the success of the Mexican War two alone are pertinent We were better prepared and we had gradually aban- doned the militia system which up to that time had been regarded as the great bulWark of national defense
 In the War of 1872 only 10 per cent. of our forces were regulars, while in the Mexican War thirty per cent. of our forces were regulars.
