The Chautauqua
Was Fine Treat
1t Was a Great Week--A Note of APP
preciation-Mrs. Roher Knows
How to Stir Dough and Things.

Accoring to promise l give you
few words of my impressions of
Sarah Tyson Rohrer as cleaned from
the lecture hour on the Redpath-
yawter Chautauqua platform here
in Mexico. will start by saying
I that it is not so much as an au-
thority on Home Economics that she
impresses one. Rather, having this
supreme knowledge and authority,
her thought is centered upon the
real needs of the people of the nation
for food that builds body, blood and
brain, for activity and usefulness.
Had she been a woman who simply
wished to gain honor and good opin-
ions for herself she would have car
ried her audience differently. There
would have been "honey" in all the
recipes and we would have said,
what an entertaining and instruct
i've lecturer!" What we really felt
was, How inadequate is our knowl-
edge of what is good food fit to
make a good body"
Her talk on tuberculosis is what
have been wanting some person of
authority to say for these many
years. She says, Consumption is
mal-nutrition. The cure the cure,
mind you,-is food to fit the needs
, of the body" she believes, and
am thankful for that belief, that
I there is a food to fit the needs and
that she knows, ami we can know,
! how to prepare that food. Her il
lustration of young woman, in a
hospital for tuberculosis, so low and
so weak, is like that of some of our
dear Mexico young girls-some are
laid away, others are in sanitoriums
too weak to move about or to enjoy
the beauties of the mountainous al
titudes where they have been taken
for rest and care. Now Mrs. Rohrer's
friend is hale and hearty and in touch
with work to help others. Would

evidently seems to know, what to do

The great lack of foods in other

BAD WORK NEAR STURGEON.

Sturgeon, Mo-, Aug. 23.-An in
cendiary is at work near Sturgeon.
r. L. Dunbar, miles from town,
lost his smokehouse by mysterious
fire, after the house had been robbed.
The family were away, and on re-
turning they found note, and beside
it 22-calibre cartridge. The tele-
phone wires were cut. A second
time they found a note and matches.
Tuesday night neighbors assist
ed Dunbar to keep watch. At 8 p.
m. they saw man run from the
premises. At ten o'clock he was seen

of fires at the Stewart farm, south
of Sturgeon. A note was left at this
place also.

Keokuk friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Herman J. Schroeder Of Fort Madi-

ing concerning their son, Robert, who
Is in the quartermaster's department.
It Is from the Democrat:
That Robert Schroeder, son Of H.
L. Schroeder, well known local real
estate man, was transferred from
Jefferson Barracks, Mo-, to Fort Sam
Houston, Texas, through peculiar
mistake has just become known and
there is a possibility that he may be
returned to the st. Louis post Word
from Jefferson Barracks states that
the young man was taken from the
office and sent to Fort Sam Houston
with draft Of men, through a mis-.
take, the officers believing that he
was selected to make the trip instead
of another young man of the same
name at the post. Robert Schroeder
reached the southern post as a regu-
lar private having been transferred
under the papers of the other man.
1t was discovered later however
that he was stenographer and II
was decided to place him in the office

two rounds and finally administered
a knockout in the eleventh. This
battle took place at Coney Island,
June 8, 1899.
The next year Fitz defeated Shar-
key, Rubin and others. He met JET
fries again at San Francisco, July
26, 1902, and once more he was
stopped in the eighth round. This
practically ended the pugtlistic
career of the Cornish man who was
far past the age when most athletes
retire He was later knocked out by
Jack O'Brien, Jack Johnson and Bill
Lang.
Fitz was married four times. Mrs.
Tina Fitzsimmons, who was at his
bedside when the end came, was his
theatrical manager. His son who is
about 81 years old, never proved a
sensation as a boxer and has prac-
tically given it up.
Mrs. FftZsimmons announced today
that the funeral will be held in the
Moody church here Wednesday. The
burial will be in this city.

TAKE SALTS TO
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat less meat If you feel Back
achy or have Bladder
trouble.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters Of meat must flush
the kidneys occasionally. You must
relieve them like you relieve your
bowels: removing all the acids,
waste and poison, else you feel dull
misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache,
dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full OF
sediment; the channels often get irrf-
tated, obliging you to get up two or
three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table,
spoonful in a glass Of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine and blad-
der disorders disappear. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for genera
tons to clean and stimulate sluggish
kidneys and stop bladder irritation.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; harmless
and makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which millions OF
men and women take now and then,
thus avoiding serious kidney and
bladder diseases.

hannibal High Carries off Honors in
Football Game Here Saturday
by Score of 20
to IL.
KEoKUK NOT DoWNCAsT
Feel That Purple Put up Good Fight
and viii Reverse Matters
on the Return
Game.

In a slow, unexciting game, marred
by injuries to various players, Hanni'
bal high school defeated Keokuk, 20
to IL, Saturday afternoon. The crowd
was one of the most patriotic towards
the school that has turned out for
long time. Standing on the side lines
with cold, raw wind blowing in their
faces, they cheered the team until the
last whistle was sounded. Besides the
students of the school, there were
quite a number of citizens attending
the game. 1t is hoped that more will
come out in the future and give K. n.
S. the backing which the students are
giving them.
Hannibal made their first touch
down in the first quarter, on an inter
tcepted forward pass, by Nolan. Els
berry kicked goal.
In the second quarter Megchelson
made spectacular twenty yard run
for a touchdown on tumble by Han
nibal. Ebersole missed goal. In the
third quarter, Evans for Keokuk, tore
off a number of long end runs, good
mainly for at least twenty yards, but
neither side was able to get In strik-
ing distance of a touchdown. Hanni-
bal opened the fourth quarter with
line bucks and a forward pass to Lane,
who went over for their second touch
down. Keokuk then came back
strong and although injured in the
first part of the game, EbersoEe was
forced over for our second touchdown.
Score: Hannibal 10: Keokuk. IL.
HannibaPs last score came as the
result Of a line buck off tackle and
an end run, Nolan going across the
last white line. Ellsbury kicked goal
Keokuk was within five yards OF
touchdown when the final whistle
blew.
Evans Starred for Keokuk.
Evans was by far the bright spot
in the Keokuk lineup, by his long
end runs, while Nolan and Mangles
played a good game for Hannibal.
Keokuk is sure that with the team
back in its stride and with several
good officials who understand the
game, that she can easily defeat Han
nibal While Hannibal won the game
as to numbers Of points, yet there Is
no question but what they were out
classed and outplayed. The results of
the game at Hannibal will be eagerly
watched by the followers of the pur-
pie and white.
