DOORS
FROM SEWERS
City instaiis Harrison Sewer Trap
Over Catch Basins for
Demonstration.

The street department has taken
step toward the deodorization OF the
sewers Of the city. For demonsfra-
ton purposes, half dozen sewer
traps, manufactured by the Harrison
Sewer Trap company, Of Peoria, H.,
have been placed over the eaten
basin entrances at Fourth and Morg-
an and Fifth and Morgan streets.
By automatic valves, this sewer
trap prevents sewer gas and all odors
from escaping from the sewer en-
trance while not interfering with The
entrance of water from the street.
These traps have been successfully
installed in Peoria, Bloomington and
Pekin, Illinois, and other cities and
according to reports, are proving very
satisfactory. According to the street
department officials, every inlet In
the city needs traps such as these to
prevent the escape OF gas and odors,
and if the test given the six Installed
Saturday proves satisfactory, 1t Is
likely that the city will be complete
ly fitted up Between 100 and $50
would be needed here.
The trap that has been installed
here is the only one manufactured.
Commits sioner of Streets T. ]. Hickey
believes that he had just what he
needs for the purpose and states that
it fills the bill both as to service and
price. There have been complaints
about sewer odors but this trap is
expected to eliminate all cause for
complaint.

Uric Acid Poisoning!

The most eminent physicians recog-
nize that uric acid stored up in the
system is the cause of rheumatism,
that this uric acid poison is present in
the Joints, muscles, or nerves. By ex-
perimenting and analysis at the In
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute in
Buffalo, n. Y, Dr.. Pierce discovered a
com bination Of native remedies that
he called Anuric-which drives out the
u1c acid from the system, and in this
way the pain. swelling and inflamma-
ton subside II you are sufferer
from rheumatism. backache, pains
here or there, you can obtain Anuric
at any drug store and get relief from
the pains and ills brought about by
uric acid.
Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due
to a dropsical condition, often caused
by disordered kidneys. naturally when
the kidneys are deranged the blood is
filled with poisonous uric acid, which
settles in the tissues OF the feet. ankles
wrists or back as uratic salts: or I'M
der the eyes in bag-like formations.
it IS just as necessary to keep the
kidneys acting properly as to keep the
bowels active to rid the body Of pol
sons.
The very best possible way to take
care Of yourself is to take glass of
h ot water before meals and an Anuric
tablet. in this way it is readily dis.

blood and finally reaches the kidneys,

! Step into the drug store and ask for
| a 50-cent package of Anuric, or send
DR.. Pierce 10c for trial package. An
uric-many times more potent than
lithia, eliminates uric acid as hot wa
ter melts sugar. a short trial will con

GET THINGS IN SHAPE
Mira John c. Scott 10 Chairman Of
the Toy Committee and There
Arc Other chalrmen
Named.

Again the appeal comes to Keokuk
for the Community Christmas ana
one man pledges that he will give
one-third of the amount needed II the
other citizens will give the remaining
two-thirds. 1t may be hard for some,
who know nothing of conditions, to
believe that there are hungry chill
dren in Keokuk every day who do not
have sufficient food to satisfy thai
hunger. There are children IN the
schools who are under fed and this
condition causes NO little concern IN
some of the schools.
Do you imagine that those children
will have any Christmas without your
help? There are self respecting,
old people living on a meager income
who find this year that the income is
far short Of every day needs, TO say
nothing of any Christmas extras.
With these you should share your
own prosperity.
Mrs. John G. Scott has been named
as chairman of the toy committee,
and pledges OF toys should be made
to her and later delivered to the
place which will be announced later.
The young women of the Baby Wei
fare league will assist Mrs Scott
Monday and Tuesday. December
IS and 10 are the days on which
contributions of fruit and jelly are
to be sent to Crmmins & Sons, sos
Main street, where they will be re
ceived by a community Christmas
committee, of which Mrs. e. G. Single
ton is chairman.
Contributions Of money should be
sent to Miss Elsie Buck, treasurer OF
the Community Christmas fund, OF
they may be left at The Gate City
office for Miss Buck, carefully marked
with donors name.
The committee in charge will not
be able to begin the work actively
until they know how much they have
to work with. Only as many families
can be sent baskets as are provided
by the community.

TrimbIe and Ralph B. Smith were ap

ords Of the district, federal and super.
ior courts, and copies sent to the fam.
lily.
In the resolutions and in the talks
made by the bar members, it was EN-
phasized that for the first time since
the organization of the Keokuk bar
there would not be one of the name
Miller on its roles. For the first time
since the settlement of Iowa, the Mil
Ter name will be lacking.
In speaking on the resolutions,
Frank NJ. Baliinger said the committee
was wholly unable to find language to
express the real feeling of the members
and to put into the resolutions the love
and sentiment and kind feeling they
felt towards the departed member OF
the bar He spoke OF his descending

that he was no less courteous, no less
brilliant, no less a gentleman than his
grandfather and father before him.
J. A. Milestone said he felt the bar
had lost most valuable member in
the death Of Mr.. Miller. He SPOKE of
his personal relations with Archer Mil.
Ter and how he had seen him as a boy

Is Respected by All.

Edward W. McManus paid splen-
did tribute to Mr.. Miller. He said
everyone respected Archer Miller. He
was quiet and unassuming and not os-
tentationus and always treated every
one right. There was a note of trag-
edy in his death in the fact that the
last OF the Millers was going. His
death was depressing to his friends,
he felt. He urged the members of the
bar to not wait until death to give
their appreciation of their brothers,
but to give them in life during their
daily associations.
Judge F. T. Hughes spoke of his
friendship for Archer MiIler's father,
and for the young man whose death
the bar was mourning now. He declar-
ed that had he been spared Archer Mil
Ter would have been among the first
of the bar members.
William lmDerman said that Archer
Miller bore heaut;eu! character, the
most loving character he had met with
and that his word was as good as a
government bond. Everything he un-
dertook to do. he did to the utmost Of
his ability.
John s. Sprowls gave a tribute from
a younger member OF the bar and
spoke of the admiration and esteem
with which Mr.. Miller was held. He
said, everyone admired his determine
ton to pass his, bar, examinations, at
the time Of his fathers passing.
