DIARRHOEA
Quickly Cured by
WAKEFIELD'S
Blackberry Balsam

Wakefield Blackberry Balsam has
been the surest and safest remedy for
Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Cholera Infan-
tum and Cholera Morbus for 70 years.
While it is quick and positive in its
action, it is unlike other remedies in
that it is harmless and does not con-
stipate. It simply checks the trouble
and puts the stomach and bowels in
their natural, regular condition OF
the millions Of bottles that have been
sold, never has case been reported
to the manufacturer where q euro

followed, even after other remedies
had failed. Every homo should have .
bottle or more on hand ready for sud-
den attacks. Full size bottle, a5c or 8
for t1.00 everywhere.

Importance to Lee County
People.

Information sent the Lee county
board of supervisors indicates that
the state highway commission
omitted the lake shore boulevard
from the primary road system of this
county.
This is SO remarkable, that the
attention Of the commission is being
/ called to that road by letters from
Supervisor Maxwell, the Keokuk
automobile club, and other citizens.
Not only is that road one Of the
most beautiful scenic routes in Amer
lea, but 1t is the most used road in
southeastern Iowa, It Is pretty GER
tain.
Sunday evening between $3.50 and
700 o'clock, 203 automobiles were
counted passing a given spot on this
road, and the same crowded condi-
ton obtained all afternoon and even
ing until 10 o'clock at least.
DonneIlson Well Fixed.
This lake shore road is one Of
two roads leading out of Keokuk to
Iowa points, and it looks here like
1t certainly should be placed in the
primary road system" said one man
today.
This is especially true, because
Donnellson is given four roads in the
primary system-but then West
Point has not single road in the
primary system as received here"
said another man.
One road selected running west
from Donnellson, is not the present
trail to Pennington, but another
road.
An effort will be made to get the
highway commission to take real
look at Lee county roads, before
making the selection of primary
roads permanent and irrevocable

T."
keokuk StFnted In Roads.
While the law provides that pri-
mary roads shall run into the larger
market places, Keokuk is given only
one primary road, the Red Ball
route, while Donnellson has four,
and so on.
If the lake shore road were placed
as a primary road in the state sys-
tenn, Keokuk would have two roads
out of the city into Iowa, and prob
ably would be satisfied with that.
1t is hroped that the letters sent
to the state commission will change
and better the present tentative pro-
gram.

missed, not only in his home and by
his relatives, but by lbs Sunday

Russian Bully Now
 Fears U. s. Women

OMSK, via adivostok.-(Corres- pondence of the Associated Press.) A certain Russian bully learned something about American women that will turk in his memory for some time through an encounter a few days ago with Miss Annie Lau- rie Williams in the freight yards at Omsk. Miss Williams name will be familiar to many New Workers as a welfare worker She is now with the American Red Cross and was one of those 12 women chosen to remain behind when the others were hustled out of Omsk by the Ameri- can ambassador to Japan, Roland S. Morris, to escape a possible Bolshev- ik invasion.
 The Russian was attempting to climb aboard a car in a refugee train in which were several girls. The girls were trying to shut the car door against him, when Miss Williams appeared and grappled with the intruder. She managed to land two blows on his jaw and then they rolled together down the embank- ment. As they arose she gave him another
