PARISIENNES NOW
WEAR WAR DRESSES

Women OF Paris are now wearing
war dresses. 1t was learned today.
The beautiful evening gown Is no
longer worn at tea, as the women OF
Paris are now in mourning.
This is the statement Of Mrs. Ida
McGIone Gibson. who has just re-
turned from Paris, where she has
been working with the Red Cross.
Although the dresses are of black
material. they retain the graceful
lines Of the French style.
Teas, likewise. have been affected
by the war. says Mrs. Gibson.
"A tea menu consists OF tea and
black bread" she said. French
pastry is a thing OF the past"

WOMEN WARNED

Coming generations or Americans
are endangered by the indiscriminate
rush OF women into industry. Women
should enter only those lines Of work
not injurious to their health and
morals. There are plenty or men to
take care of the manual labor Jobs
and when the supply fails. men in Of

An appeal is also made for thou

overhauled every seventy-five hours,
and the life OF a plane at best. the
Secretary says, is only two months.
The new planes are equipped with
twclve-cylinder Liberty motors. and

A Dead Stomach
Of What Use Is It?

Thousands? yet hundreds of thou
sands of people throughout America
are taking the slow death treatment
daily.
They are numbering their own
stomach. the best friend they have,
and in their sublime ignorance they
think they are putting aside the laws
of nature.
This is no sensational statement;
1t is a startling fact, the truth of
which any honorable physician will
not deny.
These thousands of people are
swallowing daily huge quantities of
pepsin and other strong digesters.
made especially to digest the food in
the stomach without any aid at all
from the digestive membrane of the
stomach.
Mona stomach tablets relieve dis
tressed stomach in five minutes; they
do more. Taken regularly for few
weeks they build up the run down
stomach and make it strong enough
to digest its own food. Then indi-
gestion, belching, sour stomach and
headache will go.
sIi-o-na stomach tablets are sold by
druggists everywhere, who guarantee

system, must come a sense of duty
well done which only loyalty, pat
riotism and devotion such as yours
can bring. The country and the world
knows that 1t owes you a debt OF
gratitude and thanks which cannot
be measured by words, but only by
| the affection. the respect and the
esteem, now yours, OF those among
whom you live and from whom you

on Lake keokuk When
Hotel Iowa Was Opened Five
Years Ago Today Brought
GOOD Fortune.
THREW KEY IN THE LAKE
None Of Original Staff Of Manager
Remain, But Hotel Has Worked
It's Way Out Of Red
Ink.

Five years ago today the Hotel
Iowa was opened.
1t has become such an important
institution Of Keokuk, that it seems
to have been here always, although
its life has been short one, albeit
those Eve years have seen great I'M
provements in Keokuk.
1t was deliberately built ahead OF
the town, and the town has responded
by growing up to it For the first
wears it showed deficit on the an
nual balance sheets. but now the en-
tries are no longer in red ink, and 1t
shows profit.
The ceremony of opening Iowa's
most noted hotel was very simple
one.
The Secret Of Success.
The clerk took position behind the
desk. the bell boys sat tight on the
bench. the front doors were unlocked
and opened-and the key was car
ried far out into Lake Keokuk and
dropped to the bottom at the deepest
part
Manager W. V. Holmes and j. p.
Allen made that trip with the key.
They motored to the shore, entered
a motor boat and sailed out on the
water. and then Mr. Allen threw the
KEY into the water with some ap-
propriate words which we're not re-
corded at the time.
Since then, the doors have never
been locked and the register has
never been closed. These things
bring good luck, as every practical
hotel man knows.
In the Beginning.
Manager Holmes is there yet. but
not a single other man on his original
stan remains at the Hotel Iowa.
The first entries on the register,
which is on Ale in a vault are fhe
names OF the following:
Mr.. and Mrs J. P. Allen, New
York; Miss Blanche Allen, New
York: John Allen and maid, New
York; smith Mcpherson, Red Oak,
| Iowa: A. E tombstone, Keokuk;
/ Charles F. Wallace. Boston; Jere-
miah Smith, Boston; H T. Edgar,

/ Judge Mcpherson, of the federal
court, is dead. J. P Allen is back in
New York in poor health. The others
are alive and active. the three Stone
