Tobacco Habit
Dangerous

says Doctor Connor, formerly Of
Johns Hopkins hospital. Thousands
of men suffering from fatal diseases
would be in perfect health today
were it not for the deadly drug Nico-
tine. Stop the habit now before it's
too late. It's a simple process to rid
yourself of the tobacco habit in any
form. Just go to any up-to-date drug
store and get some 'Nicotol tablets;
take them as directed and 10! the
pernicious habit quickly vanishes.
Druggists refund the money If they
fail. Be sure to read large and inter-
esting announcement by Doctor Con
nor soon to appear in this paper. 1t
tells of the danger of nicotine poi
soning and how to avoid it. In the
meantime try Nicotol tablets; you
will be surprised at, the result.

Majority Of $40 Votes is Cast
Saturday Against PROPOSE
ton to Honor City's
Heroes.
WOMEN AGAINST 1T TOO
In Only One Ward, the First,
Where 1t Had Margain of
Five Votes Was Plan
Successful.

keokuk voters Saturday, defeated
| the proposition to build a memorial
building for the soldiers, sailors, mar
ines and nurses, who left their occupa-
| lions of peace time to take up the
cudgels of war for those who stayed
at home. The building which would
! have served as city hall, as we'll as
the quarters for the returned service
men of keokuk was turned down in
| emphatic manner by the voters who ex.
pressed their sentiment in the vote
Saturday. The proposition was lost by
$40 votes. Both men and women
voted against the plan, and in only
one ward, the first, was the PROPOSE
ton favorably voted on, and that ward
had the narrow margin of five affirma-
tive ballots
The result was a disappointment to
those who would like to see Keokuk
progress. 1t was to considerable ex-
tent disappointment to the returned
service men, as they had hoped to see
the measure go over.
The project was defeated in every
| ward but the first. It was defeated
by the men in this ward by two votes,
but the women's vote was favorable to
| the plan by seven. This made the
majority for the memorial building
five. The sixth ward came the closest
of any of the other wards to voting
anywhere near favorable to the project.
The opposition vote was successful in
| six precincts. The total vote cast was
2,246, which is good vote and which
is considered generally representative.
Women Vote No, Too.
The proposition was lost either way

REV. HOFFMAN
VISITS HERE
'keokuk Man Who Is Studying In
Theological Seminary Has
Made Good In Column
bus o,

The Rev. George M. l.. Hoffman,
former Keokuk man, who is studying
for the ministry, has been in Columbus
O., where he has filled pulpit there
for a number of weeks. He has re-
ceived mplimentary notices at the
hands of the Columbus papers, and one
of them is given here:
Last night at ST. PauPs Evangelical
church, 224 East Gates street, the
members of st. Paul's church gave a
farewell surprise party on Rev. Hoff-
mann who leaves Columbus Monday
to resume his postgraduate work at
Eden theological seminary, st. Louis.
Mo. Before his return to college he
will spend the week end with his
kuk. Iowa. Rev. Hoffman was pre-
scented with beautiful gold signet
ring hv the Young Peoples society
and an umbrella by the Dorcas society.
Speeches were made by Rev. Lehman
of ST. Josns Evangelical Protestant
church, and by Mr.. Laut, and Mr..
Pfeifer of ST. Pauls church, afterwards
a musical program and elaborate sup
per was given. During the temporary
charge that Rev. Hoffman, had at st.
Paul's church and Sunday school has
had a phenomenal growth, due to his
tireless work and efforts. Rev. Eorf-
mann was not only the youngest min
lister of Columbus but also had the
distinction of being known as the
marrying parson." Rev, Hoffman,
will preach his farewell sermon next
Sunday and his congregation regrets to
see him leave as indeed in all respects
he has been a true and faithful SER
want of his Lord and Master.

one looks at it. The men defeated 1t
by 325 votes and the women by a
total of 245 votes. There was some
fear expressed previous to the election
that the women's vote might be de-
Gliding factor in favor of the measure.
Evidently the efforts of the opposition
We're directed towards this vote, as
those who were in charge OF the
women's organizations said that one OF
the anonymous hand bills, the one
which brought up the question or
school buildings, did much to swing
the sentiment of the woman voter.
The judges and clerks made good
time in counting the votes. The fifth
ward was the first one to report and
the fourth followed. The seventh pre-
cinct was next and then came the first
and sixth and then the third, with the
second closely following the third. A
number of people visited The Gate
City office to secure the returns, and
the telephones were busy for two
hours or more after the results were
known with people asking questions
about the proposition.

Opposition Week Old.

Active opposition to the plan de-
veloped about week ago and culmi
mated in series of anonymous hand
bills which were circulated through
out the city and put into the hands
Of the men in the factories. The
statements on some Of these were
misleading, but seemed sufficiently
strong to carry the weight Of the
opposition.
At the time that the petitions were
circulated asking for the election 1t
looked as If there would be but slight
opposition. This grew with time,
however, and the vote Saturday was
the expression of this accrued weeks
opposition.
