Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day.
Drink a glass Of real hot water
before breakfast to wash
out poIsons.

Life is not merely to live, but to
live well, eat well. digest well, work
well, sleep well. look well. What a
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it Is If one will only
adopt the morning inside bath. 81
Folks who are accus toned to feel.

splitting headache, stuffy from cold.
foul tongue. nasty breath, acid ston-
ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a.
daisy by opening the sluices of the
system each morning and flushing
out the whole of the internal poison
Gus stagnant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels
the previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach
The action of hot water and lime
stone phosphate on an empty stom-
ach Is wonderfully invigorating. It
cleans out all the sour fermentations,
gases, waste and acidity and gives
one splendid appetite for break
fast. While you are enjoying your
breakfast the water and phosphate Is
quietly extracting a large volume OF
water from the blood and getting
ready for thorough flushing Of all
the inside organs.
The millions Of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism;
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly compilations are
urged to get quarter pound Of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
which will cost very little, but is
sufficient to make anyone a pro-
nounced crank on the subject Of In
ternal sanitation.

A Successful Remedy

All things succeed which really de-
serve to-which fill a real need,
which prove their worth. The fact
that the famous old root and herb
remedy, Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound, has for three gen.
erations been relieving women Of
this country from the worst forms
of female ills and has won such a
strong place in our American homes
proves its merit beyond the question
of doubt. 1t will well pay any
woman who is In need of such a
medicine to try it-Advertisement.

NO BRASSARDS
USED HERE YET
When They are Asked for, the keo-
kuk Red Cross Will Make
Them Of Uniform
Style.

at is probable that the local Red
Cross will have a demand for mourn
ing brassards or arm bands although
none have yet been worn here" said
a Red Cross worker today.
1.-THE reason for this being made
by the Red Cross is to secure uni
formity," she added, land in many
cities the work Is being done In the
home service department"
The left arm brassards, or arm
bands. which are worn by relatives
of those who have died in the service
are being made In number OF Red
Cross shops In Iowa.
They we're adopted as signs OF
mourning, upon recommendation of
the woman's committee of the Coun-
Gil of National Defense and by ap-
proyal of President Wilson.
The brassard is made OF black
broadcloth, and its dimensions are
three inches wide and eighteen
inches long. An embroidered gold
altar is placed in the center. The
badge may be worn only by relatives
of soldiers who have died.
The badge was suggested to pre-
vent the depressing effect Of the ordi-
nary garments Of mourning.

Within ten minutes arrer an appli-
cation of Danderine you can not find
a single trace Of dandruff or falling
hair and your scalp will not itch.

be after few weeks use, when you
see new hair, fine and downy. at first
-yes-but really new hair-growing
all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just mosten cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw 1t
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time The effect is amaz-
ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance of
a abundance; an Incompatible lustre,
softness and luxuriance.
Get small bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine for few cents at any
drug store or toilet counter. and
prove that your hair is as pretty and
soft as any-that 1t has been neglect
ed or injured by careless treatment
that's all-you surely can have
beautiful hair and lots of 1t If you
will just try a little Danderine.

CROSS IS
SHORT OF HELP
Attendance 10 Light at the Work
Rooms This Week and
Better Attendance Is
Desired.

There is a noticeable falling off in
the attendance at the Red Cross
meetings for work.
This morning there were only two
workers at the Y W. G. A., only six
at the French aid, and at church
auxiliary yesterday there was only
one worker.
There Is no drive on now, ana
hence no pressing need for workers
in great numbers, but one Of the In
structors said that they did need
women to come as regularly as pos
sible.
No one who has cold or has
illness in her family should come,
but workers are needed to keep up
the work assigned the local chapter.

BONAPARTE, Iowa, Oct. 17-There

have been much more II the cane
growers had not gotten some stock
cane seed by mistake. A good many
people raised a patch Of cane and
when they got 1t ready and took 1t
to a mill to be made into molasses
found that the cane they had raised
was the kind which lot Of farmers
raise for feed for stock and from
which no mo1asses can be made. This
in some cases due to the growers and
in other instances to the seed houses.

Milwaukee Paper Says Low Priced
Electric Current and Vast De-
posits Of Limestone Here
Drew Carbide Plant.
ONLY THREE OTHERS
Bio Demand for Accetylene for Many
Welding Purposes, But Govern-
ment Biggest Customer
During War.

The Milwaukee Free Press OF Mon
day has the following about the new
big industry which has come to heo-
kuk this summer:
More than 100000 of Milwaukee
capital is being invested in the con-
struction and equipment of COM
plete new plant for the manufacture
| of calcium carbide, basic material for
the production Of acetylene gas. at
Keokuk, Iowa, it was learned last
night.
The project has been undertaken
by the Gas Tank Recharging Co., l245
ITwenty-third avenue, which has Just
increased its capital stock from $250,-
900 to $1,OO0,0O0 in order to accom-
modate the enlargement of its bust
ness.
Why Keokuk was Chosen.
Keokuk was chosen as the location
of the new plant because OF the
existence of vast deposits OF lime
stone in eastern Iowa, and the low
priced electric power available from
the great Keokuk dam across the
Mississippi river. Limestone is the
basic material In the manufacture OF
carbide and the process requires a
vast amount Of current for the oper-
Iation of electric reduction furnaces.
The company will continue to make
its headquarters in Milwaukee, ana
Its general Offices will be located at
the plant in this city, which Is being
devoted to COMPRISING acetylene gas
for distribution among consumers IN
all parts Of the United States
Repair Shops and Uncle Sam.
At this time one Of the principal
uses of the gas is to operate oxy-
acetylene welding and cutting appa-
ratus in industrial plants, including
foundries, machine-shops, boiler
works, shipyards and munitton fac
tories. The government Is one OF
the largest consumers and Its broad
requirements have made necessary
the Keokuk project.
The new plant is being erected by
the Worden-Allen company, Mflwau-
Ikee, and is expected to be ready to
commence operation by January L
The equipment includes a large
electric furnace with daily capa-
city of 10000 pounds; battery OF
eight coke ovens, and two 8O-foot
steel lime-kilns. A galloway with
span OIL OUU lCcI, dAu SapdoAo Va hehAo
ling 500 tons of material in twenty
four hours, also will be provided.
Only Three Others.
For the time being, practically the
entire output of the Keokuk plant
will be applied on government &C
count There are only two other cal
cium carbide manufacturing plants In
the United States and one in Canada.
The requirements Of acetylene gas
have grown tremendously since the
universal adoption Of the method If
cutting and welding metals by the
oxyacetylene flame, and more par
ticularly since this country entered
the war.
Formerly acetylene gas was used
principally for automobile lighting
systems and for illumination of iso-
lated buildings, as on farms and In
small communities removed from
electric and gas transmission lines.
These now are among the least i'm
portant consumers, the great bulk of
supplies going to industrial works
for welding and cutting processes.

Dear Friends:-Have left the west

let you know my new address. I like
to get the paper as soon as possible
as it sure is good and home news is
always interesting.
passed the required exams q few
weeks ago at Mare Island and have
been sent here to complete the course
of Radio Electrician and Operator
The weather out here is about the
same as that at home, only there is
not much snow. The coal proposition
here is very bad. All the main Off
ces and most of the factories are
closed up for the want Of coal. I've
seen hundreds of children stand in
line all day for few pounds Of coal.
The people at home are fortunate not
to be in the fix they are here. There
is coal headed this way all right, but
it is tied up on account of the cold
weather and storms. came the
southern route out here and there
were very few states that did not
have some snow.
don't know how long I will be
here in school, probably five months.
We have to study very hard as the
government needs men in this line
badly. There are quite a number OF
Colorado boys here.
