MANY RUMORS

A BRITISH PORT. March 30
The liner st. Louis, first passenger
ship steamship of the American line
to leave the United States since Pres
ident Wilson decided to arm Amerl-
can merchantmen, reached here SAFE
ly today.
Just how near she came to being
victim OF a submarine, or whether
she was in danger, depends on how
much credence is to be placed in
rumors which flew thick and fast
aboard the vessel.
Last night, according to one story
from passengers, three British de-
stroyers ahead of the st. Louis fired
a number of shots and when the liner
neared the spot, a film of oil was
visible upon the water-and film
of oil generally means sunken sub
marine.
Oficers of the st. Louis declared
the rumor was only galley talk.
But they admitted receiving a wire
less dispatch indicating they had a
lucky escape in view of recent sub
marine attacks made on the same
SPOT.

in a recent inspiring address. will not only de-

inhabited by man. A new world of peace and

GIVE US A WAR CABINET.

A month ago when war seemed imminent
The Gate City proposed Strengthening OF
President Wilson'S cabinet and suggested as
one possible change the elimination OF Josephus
Daniels and the substitution OF some other per
son as secretary Of the navy. In some quar-
tiers The Gate City was scolded as unfair to
Wilson, and as being ''prejudiced against
Daniels" Far from acting fairly toward the
president, we thought that a good cabinet
would help him. and we were no more prelu-
diced against Daniels than against any in
competent offceholder.
Now war is nearer still and the cry for
changes in the cabinet is heard throughout the
country Even the New York Times, President
Wilson'S stanchest defender, demands IN the
cabinet men whose experience and capacity,
whose Names command confidence According
to the Times, there must not be added endless
alarms arising from the doubt and fear that
the men at the head of the government al
fairs are unequal to their tasks and response
bilities.
Which is the truth If we ever need at the
head Of the nation bigger men than compose
the cabinet Of President Wilson, it is now. In
time Of war when the nation is called upon to
offer its blood and treasure IN defense, the best
possible leadership is necessary regardless OF
party politics.
JoSephuS Daniels, VINO never was connecteu
with big enterprises until he entered the cabi-
net four years ago, and who through these
four years has shown alarming ignorance OF
naval affairs, certainly has not the confidence OF
the public nor of the navy. Newton d. Baker
secretary Of war, who humorously informed
the public at the time of his appointment year
ago, that 'she never even played tin soldier as
boy" also lacks the experience and the conf
6nnce necessarv TO a successful conduct OF his
office.
Much will depend upon the cabinet. The
equipment, management and movement Of the
army and navy are responsibilities of the
cabinet There is difficult work to be done,
and it requires the highest executive skill the
country affords. Mr.. Wilson's cabinet APP
pointments for the second term have not yet
been presented to the senate. We have faith
enough in Mr.. Wilson to believe that the new
list will not contain the names of Daniels and
Baker

Why Rheumatism Comes
With Cold Weather

(By Valentine Mott P1erce, M. D,)
A close connection exists between
these two-coid weather and rheuma-
tism. Prof. Alex Haig, Of London,
has the most followers in the med.
cal profession in the belief that the
presence in the system of uric acid,
or its salts in excess, is the real
cause Of rheumatism. Every one has
recognized the difference in the ap-
pearance of their water as soon as 1t
gets cold; there is often a copious
sediment Of "brickdust."
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation of uric acid In the sys-
tenn, which, in turn, cause rheuma-
tism or govt, or creaky joints, swol-
len finger, or painful joints. For one
reason the skin does not throw off
the uric acid, by profuse sweating,
as in the hot weather, and the kidneys
are unable to take care of the double
burden Another reason is that peo-
pie do not drink as much water an
cold weather as In summer, which
helps to flush the kidneys. Again,
they eat more meat in cold weather,
and some people are so susceptible
that they soon develop rheumatis m
after eating meat.
At all such times persons Should
drink copiously of hot water, say, a
pint morning and night, and take
Anuric double strength three or four
times a day. This Anuric comes in
tablet form and can be had at almost
any drug store. 1t dissolves the uric
acid in the system and carries it out
ward. l would advise everyone 10
take Anuric occasionally, and con-
tinue for three or four weeks. and In
that way avoid rheumatism, govt and
many of the painful disorders due TO
uric acid in the system.
Make yourself healthy and strong
by open-air exercise and diet. Then
cleanse the liver by occasionally
stimulating it's action with pleasant
laxative composed of the May-app1e,
dried Juice of aloe, and root of jalap,
sugar coated and long sold by all
druggists as DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets

Jacob Trump Has Been Citizen OF

Celebrates.

Two Years for Stealing Hog
and Corn, Has Been
Paroied.

KAHOKA, Mo-, March 26.-On
March 81 Jacob Trump completed a
half century's residence in Kahoka,
and at the same time celebrated a
half century's career in the mercan-
tile business in this city. On that
date fifty years ago Mr.. Trump, then
resident of Keokuk, moved to this
city. There were no railroads then
and his effects were brought by
wagon. The town contained only a
few inhabitants and homes. Mr..
Trump engaged in the shoe making
business, later engaging in the mer.
camille business, in which he is still
engaged as the head of the J. Trump
& Sons Mercantile Co., the leading
establishment of its kind in north
east Missouri. Mr.. Trump has at all
times led in civic affairs and one
of the largest contributors toward
enterprises for the upbuilding of the
community. About six months after
locating in kahoka, Mr.. Trump was
united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth
Breitenstein of Keokuk. They occupy
nice home on West Commercial
street and will soon celebrate their
golden wedding anniversary. Mr..
Trump is well acquainted with the
early history of Kahoka and Clark
county and takes great pleasure in
recalling events of the early days.
He has witnessed great strides for.
ward in the town and county. Most
of the residents Of Kahoka at the
time Of his coming have passed to
the great beyond or taken up their
residence elsewhere.
Ralph BELL, the Kahoka southpaw,
will play this season with the Des
Moines team.
There is a disposition on the part
Of the voters of Kahoka and the
leading papers of the town to dis
pense with politics at the coming
municipal election and the election

have endorsed the present city ad
ministration and requested that the
present officials be returned for an
other term The progress of a town

in order that it may be ready for

A STAGGERING DEBT.

An eminent German economist and liberal
deputy, DR.. Gustav Stresemann, has told his
Hanoverian constituents that the Prussian ma

saws that over one and a half billions must be
raised annually for interest charges and re-
demption of loans Possibly under normal con-
ditions that might be done, but not now, or in
the situation that will follow the war. for the
Prussian states and municipalities have also
piled up huge debts that must also be met by
new taxation.

And learned the outcome OF this holocaust
Yet night while the still roared and flashed
His spirit left his body; left the earth
Which he had loved sad disastrous days,
And sped to heaven amid the glittering stars
And white splendor OF the quiet moon.
One instant--and a hundred years rushed by!
And he immortal, found his way
Among the great celestial hills Of God.
Then suddenly memory OF earth
FLASHED like a meteors flame across his mind.
One nstant-and another hundred years.
And even the dream of that poor little place
Which he had known lost in greater spheres
Through which he whirled; old membranes
Were but as fecks of dust blown down the night;
And nothing mattered, save that suns and moons
Swung in the ether for unnunbered worlds
