Subject Of Childbirth Discussed by
Women of Experience.

Women everywhere tell their friends how
through the use Of Mothers Friend, tho
wonderful penetrating external application,
they avoided suffering and distress before
the advent Of natures most wonderful evo-
luton.
Mothers Friend Is remedy which
spreads its influence upon the cords, nerves
and llgaments involved, rendering them
plant to readily yield to natures demand
for expansion. The nerves, cords, tendons
and ligaments expand without that peculiar
wrenching strain, and nervousn .ss, nausea
and unrestful sensations are naturally
avoided when the nerves and muscles are
relieved and thus are not tort and drawn.
By regular use, the lower abdominal re-
gion expands with ease when baby Is born,
the hours are less at the crisis, and pain
and danger Is naturally less.
You can obtain Mothers Friend from any
drug store. 1t has been used by women for
over half a century, and Is just as standard
rs anything you can think of.

AN ENGLISHMAN
STIRS HAMILTON
New Minister from the Tight Little
Isle Creates Resentment by
Some Church people by
Political Talk.

At the union services Of the Hamil-
ton churches last evening, the pulpit
was occupied by the Rev. Mr.. Mason,
a young Englishman who lately be.
came pastor of church there.
He talked so strenuously in favor
of the league Of nations, and poured
so much invective upon the heads of
those who disagree with him, that
Hamilton church people came over to
Keokuk today expressing resentment
at his methods.
Their objection seemed to be chief
ly that a pulpit was used for a purely
political purpose, and to debate ques-
ton about which there is wide diff
ference Of political opinion in the
United States. Some of it was also
against the minister's alleged assump-
ton that everybody opposed to the
league Of nations is some sort OF fool,
or villain or something.

RUSSIAN JEWS
SUFFERED MOST
Majority Of Them Are Not Bolshevlks
Because They Have Been
Impoverished by
Reds,
[By Frank J. Taylor, United Press
Staff Correspondent

! [By Frank J. Taylor, United Press
Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, July 28.-Bolshev1sm
| Is not a revolution by the Russian
Jews for the Russian Jews, as Is popu-
larly believed, according to the Dol
sheviks Investigating the way the
Jews lineup with regard to bolshev-
| ism leads to the conclusion that three
| fourths of the Jews are against boil
shevism.
This stand on the part of the ms
jority Of Jews is probably due to the
fact that the Jews have been the
heaviest losers among the little bour-
geoisie of Russia. This Is especially
true of small cities. In the provincial
districts most Of the Jews were buyers
and sellers and had gathered together
small fortunes, usually from five to
twenty five thousand rubles. Today
that sum is nothing, but In the old
days it represented quite an amount,
comparatively speaking. enough to
enable operation Of small business.
Generally the Jewish merchant lost
this fortune entirely, through confisca-
I lions Of stocks on stores, or of ware
houses of wool and cotton and grains
It was the Jew who lost heaviest be-
cause he had most. While fortunes OF
merchants were confiscated, either
without payment or at low prices set
by the state, the peasant was allowed
to sell at market prices. Confisca-
ton was not attempted with the peas
ont, who was regarded as a producer.
A typical case was called to the at
tention of the correspondent while he
was interviewing the chief Of the eco
nomic soviet in Moscow. Two Jews
from the provinces reached Moscow
and Immediately put their case before
the soviet for decision. They had
been sent by the merchants Of their
village, almost all Jews, all Of whom
were required to give UP wool and
other goods they had invested III at
price set by the government. The
peasants, on the other hand, were al
lowed to sell at competitive price.
What the result Of the protest was,
the correspondent could not learn,
since it had to be passed along to
several soviets, and numerous yards of
red tape had to be unwound before the
matter could be solved. Probably the
goods were confiScated before the
decision could be altered.
Similarly, in all towns the Jews
have run the small shops which have
been closed by the bolsheviks. The
Jews were the ones who lost their
means of support, and had to go to
work at new places. The Jewish
rabbis have been against bolshevism
from the beginning and have exer-
cised a great influence over the peo-
pie.
On the other hand, it is true that a

large percentage Of jewish intellec-
tuals, mostly men who have been the
victims of the old government, have
become leaders in the bolshevik move
ment,
This has been explained by the fact
that under the old regime Jews were
prevented from entering certain other
lines OF activity by laws which dis
eliminated against the Hebrews. The
Jews naturally took to intellectual pur
suits and became writer's, lawyers, and
thinkers They welcomed any system
which would guarantee them an equal
opportunity. These intellectuals quick
" adjusted themselves to the bolshe-
vik ideas, and owing to their keen
ness and energy, many came out on
top in the new government
That the majority of bolsheviks are
Jews is not true, 1t Ia evident. Prob
ably they have larger percentage of
representation in governmental posi-
lions than the Gentiles, but every eff.
fort Is made by the soviet government
to prevent the issue from arising.
The bolsheviks are trying to prevent
discrimination from being made
against the Jews, and have succeeded

ish problem seems to be along the bor-
ders, where the armies are fighting.
There the reported "pogroms' are
causing bitter feeling. According to
the bolsheviks, the "pogroms," result
ing in the massacre of entire villages,
are confined to the anti-bolshevil1 side
of the line The worst Jewish ''po-
groms" have been in the south, mostly
in the Ukraine. Many villages OF
Jews have been wiped out, according
to the best information available.

the Eagle Eye Of Deputy Col

Moving toward Keokuk and now IN

out by the revenue collector to catcn

the law that makes customers bother
with odd cents every time they buy
anything to drink.
He finds that many proprietors Oh
soft drink emporiums are not paying
the tax properly and correctly, ana
hence are subject to heavy penaiues
in the federal court-that is, In otner
places. but those in Keokuk ought
to be in line, at least by the time
he gets here.
Elsewhere it has been discovered
that the most common mistake is IN
the paying of the tax, and not the
collection. For soft drinks the tax
is one cent on every ten-cent drink
or fraction thereof, and the other tax
one cent on every twenty-five-cent
article or fraction thereof.

Tax Is Not Ten Per Cent.


It is reported that some of the
dealers keep separate account OF
the money taken in on soft drinks
and ice cream, and when they go to
the revenue office to pay the tax
they figure on ten per cent basis.
For instance, if they took in $500,
they figure that they owe the gov
eminent $40, while In reality they
may owe much more.
A good example OF this common
mistake is cited where one man re-
ported 401 25-cent admission tickets
sold, which netted him SCOOPS. and
on ten per cent basis he paid the
government $10.25. However, he col.
lected cents on every ticket and
owed the government $12.03, which
made his first account $500 short.
But the soft drink and theater men
are not the only ones who had bet
ter watch out for the deputy reve-
nue. collector.

Automobiles and Motor Boats.

Deputy Collector Kriel is also
checking up the tax on automobiles
which are for rent or hire. The
amount Of tax due is $40 on every
auto for rent or hire that will seat
two persons and not more than
seven, and $40 for autos that will
seat more than seven persons. This
covers trucks also, wherein seats are
placed for the accommodation OF
passengers.
This last affects truck owner
who sometimes takes out q picnic
party.
Notice is given to the owners of
motor boats who have not paid their
tax that there will be a penalty in
nicted If the tax is not paid before
July 81. Mr.. Kriel will make spe-
cial effort to see that no motor boat
owners escape without paying their
tax.

He and Dickey started at 1880
o'clock in the evening and got across
the lake about o'clock, swimming
leisurely and disporting themselves on
the way, without trying to make time,
but enjoying the water like fishes.
Il never knew l could swim until
couple of years ago. Father Gillespie
said today, land now it is so easy for
me that can hardly understand why
everybody can not swim all day.
"A couple of years ago, man who
was swimming induced me to go into
the water with him, and then he told
me how easy it was TO swim and
showed me how. In five minutes |
was swimming like he was, all around
him, and it las been easy for me ever

seems queer now that everybody can't
get on in the water just as well as on

Noted for his modesty about the
high scholastic and ecclesiastical
honors that have come to him, the
Very Rev. James w. Gillespie does
not try to conceal the fact that he
is proud of his prowess as swimmer.
