no let up; have had eighteen degrees

hardly know how to conjecture the

the second of February, here, but
we don't incline to think that will eff

men are complaining of a scarcity OF
water in the wells and a good warm
rain would be greatly appreciated.

Thousands in Every State of the
Union Have Been Aided.
Many keokuk People Tell Of Quick
Relief Given In Stomach,
Kidney and Liver Ills.

High in the Rocky mountains ex-
plorers have discovered plants that
have such medicinal properties that
they are a valuable asset to the ma
ton. Thousands in every state in
the union have already been aideG
by their use.
Although these plants have been
growing for years it remained for the
great Tanlac laboratories to promote
their use and place them within easier
reach Of mankind.
By series of experiments it was
ascertained that the juice of herbs
discovered in the Rockies contained
valuable tonic properties. The max
ers Of Tanlao have combined these
tonic properties with plants from
other countries in order to produce
medicine of wide merit for general
family use.
Africa Contributes.
From along the river Nile are i'm.
ported leaves recognized for their
influence upon the liver. From grea.
pine forests are gathered substances
recognized for relieving catarrh.
From the frozen regions of the north
come those for digestion. The ma
tives Of these countris are known for
their ability to digest fats that
would send a dweller of temperate
country to an early grave the victim
Of acute dyspepsia.
From the West Indies and tropics
come harmless ingredients that sooth
the nerves, even as nature has sooth-
ed them with continuous sunshine
The experiences told by people living
right here in Keokuk, where each and
every statement can be verified
should convince the most skeptical
that Tanlac Is a remedy Of merit.
Tanlac is sold and recommended
by the Wilkinson Drug Co.. and other
first class drug stores in Keokuk and
nearby towns.

CHATEAU DIES HALLES
 NOW CHlLDREN'S HOSPITAL
One of the Most Complete Es- tablishments of Its Kind in France, With Jolly Playrooms and Toys to Amuse Patients.

Up in the mountains, where the snow falls early and lies deep, 30 miles from Lyons. is the little French village of Les Halles-a story book village, with it's massive stone church standing sentinel over two long rows of trim, blue-gray plaster cottages. And mile farther on is the Chateau des Halles, where your Red Cross has established e home for 200 sick children.
 Mangini built the chateau. Man. gini was the man who built the rail- road along the Riviera and many oth- CT railroads in France. And thirty odd years ago he built this castle up in the mountains for his country home. But soon after his two children died. Then he died, and when his widow fol- lowed him she left the chateau to the city of Lyons to be used as a hospital for children.
 The Wars Wreckage.
 Then came the war. A little rivulet of the wars wreckage began to trickle in at Evian-"repatries," elderly men and women, children, even babies, who had once lived in the parts of France engulfed by the German tides and whom the Germans. finding them use less, were beginning to ship back into France by way of Switzerland. Grad. ually this rivulet swelled. Soon 1000 of these unfortunates were arriving at Evian daily. And fully half of them were children, undernourished, thinly clad. dirty, sickly and, worse, grim, spiritless, with faces that had forgotten how to smile.
 To care for these children was the task your Red Cross at once assumed. Working with the French authorities, the Red Cross secured permission to make use of the old and almost forgot ten Chauteau des Halles up there in the mountains. For years the castle had been closed. No effort had ever been made to ft it up as a hospital. Your Red Cross had to begin at the very beginning.
 Rooms Big and Jolly.
 But what . wonderful task 1t has accomplished The Chateau ties Halles, transformed into a children's hospital and rest home in furious haste under the terrible pressure of war needs. with little time to think twice and no time to retrieve errors, Is not only one of the most complete establishments of It's kind 1t Is one of the best children's hospitals in all France. The two rooms where the arriving children are isolated for a few days are big, jolly rooms just what is need to efface from the little ones minds the memories of those iron days behind the German lines. The big play room is strewn with rocking horses and wonderful smile-enticing parrots and other toys carved by the wounded poilus
 And so you stray from room to room, and everywhere you find new evil dences of this -watchful care. And then you reach the bathrooms This chateau was built by man of wealth Its plumbing was excellent, and yet it has been stripped out and replaced with little, low wash basins and little shower baths that the children can use more comfortably.
 That is how your Red Cross thinks and cares for Frances children.
