retailers along Main street are all
planning some special bargains. They
are going to tell about them in their

More Trouble With Boys-Persisf In
Hopping Street cars-lnjuries
Are Sure to
Follow.

The street railway company and the
police have tried in every way pos
slble to put a. stop to boys in certain
neighborhoods jumping on passing
street cars. Gangs OF youngsters,
some of whose m are known,
have been taking this means for
having fun and seem unable to realize
that it is serious business. Parents
are appealed to for aid.
The worst of these offenders seem
TO work on the Mckinley avenue or
South Nineteenth street lines. If you
have n boy who plays with a crowd o.
Youngsters along these a lines keep
your eye on him and keep him off
the cars. 1t is a certainty that it will
be only a question of time until some
boy is caught and has a limb cut off or
Is struck by g PASSING automobile

any. Damages, a mighty futile balm
for the loss of life or limb, are out of
the question as it Is purely a case of
trespassing. Some of these boys are
known to have been UP before the
authorities and put On probation. A
second offense and conviction means
a trip to Eldora- 1t is of as much i'm
portance to the parents as to the po-
lice or street railway company.

THIN PEOPLE
SHOULD take
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh
and to Increase Strength,
vlgor and Nerve
Force.

Judging from the countless prepa-
rations and treatments which are
continually being advertised for the
purpose of making thin people heshy,
developing arms, neck and bust, and
replacing ugly hollows and angles by
the soft curved lines of health and
beauty. there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel
their excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually
due to starved nerves. Our bodies
need more phosphate than is contain
ed in modern foods. Physicians claim
there is nothing that will supply this
deficiency so well as the organic
phosphate known among druggists as
bitro-phosphate. which Is inexpensive
and is sold by Wilkinson & Co. and
all good druggists under a guarantee
Iof satisfaction or money back. By
feeding the nerves directly and by
supplying the body cells with the
necessary phosphoric food elements.
bitro-phosphate quickly produces
welcome transformation in the ap-
pearance; the increase in weight fire.
quently being astonishing.
This increase in weight also car
ries with 1t a general Improvement in
the health. Nervousness, s1eepiess-
ness and lack of energy. which
nearly always accompany excessive
thinness, soon disappear, dull eyes
become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom Of perfect health.
CAUTION: - Although bitro-phos-
plate is unsurpassed for relieving
nervousness, sleeplessness and gen.
eral weakness. It should not, owing
to It's remarkable flesh-growing prop
critics, be used by anyone who does
not desire to put on flesh.

The conference with the Keokuk
board Of health this morning lasted
three or four times as long as any
OF the previous ones.
1t was participated in by nine min
listers, who made speeches, and a
number of physicians, including DIR.
-. P. Dickson, who made an address.
The central thought of the preach
ers was that God can do hundred
times as much as man in stopping
any disease, and the best thing to
do is to open all churches and exhort
people to go to church and pray.
The doctors talked about people
out yesterday in the damp weather
being very apt to become hosts to
disease germs which would make
them sick early next week.
In the end, minister told about
the man in the old testament who
depended on the doctors, while the
country depended on God, and Asa,
who went to the doctors. slept with
his fathers.
And then the board of health took
the matter under advisement until
later in the day, as it was nearly
luncheon time.
