Harmful Effects of Tobacco
Trv These SIMPLE TESTS

at a regular pace, then stop. II you
find that you are out of breath, your
heart beat is forced, trembling or
functional or organic heart trouble.
II you feel that you must smoke, chew
or snuff to quiet your nerves, you are
a slave to the tobacco habit and are
positively poisoning yourself with
the deadly drug, nicotine. In either
case you have just two alternatives-
keep on with the self-poisonfng pro-
cess irrespective of the dangers and
suffer the consequences, or give up
the habit and escape the dangers.
You can overcome the craving and
stop the habit in a very short time
by using the following inexpensive
formula: Go to any drug store and
ask for Nicotol tablets. take one tab
let after each meal, and in a compare
lively short time you will have no
desire for tobacco. the craving will
have left you With the nicotine
poison out of your system your gen
eral health will quickly improve.
Note,-When asked about Nicotol
table cts, one of our leading druggists
said at is truly wonderful rene
dy for the tobacco habit; away ahead
of anything we have ever sold be-
fore. We are authorized by the manu-
facturers to refund the money to
every dissatisfied customer, and we
would not permit the use Of our
name unless the remedy possessed
unusual merit" Nicotol tablets are
sold in this city under an iron-clad
money-back guarantee by all up-to-
date druggists, including Wilkinson &
Co. and McGrath Bros. Drug Co.

BRIDGE FIXED
PERMANENTLY
The One Along the Des Moines River
Road That Washed Out Nearly
Every Year Replaced by
Concrete,

When they knocked off work yester-
day the men of Commissioner Hickey
had finished the new bridge in the
road along the Des Moines river,
short distance above the bridge.
This bridge has been numerous
bridges in the past, as it was washed
ont annually when the Des Moines
river became a flood. Every time it
was washed out, the road was blocked
for awhile and much inconvenience to
the people out that way resulted.
This time, Commissioner Hickey de-
cided to fix it once for all. He built
concrete bridge sixteen feet long
and eighteen feet wide that Will stay
there through all the floods.

New York: Doctor Conner, former
" of Johns Hopkins hospital, says:
Many men who smoke, chew or snufr
necessarily and who are seemingly
healthy are suffering from progress
siye organic ailments. Thousands OF
them would never have been affiict-
ed had it not been for the use OF
tobacco, and thousands would soon
get well If they would only stop the
use of tobacco. The chief habit form
ing principle of tobacco is nicotine,
a deadly poison which, when ab-
sorbed by the system, slowly affects
the nerves, membranes, tissues and
vital organs of the body. The harm
full effect OF tobacco varies and de-
pends on circumstances. One will be
afflicted with general debility, others
with catarrh of the throat, indfges-
ton, constipation, extreme nervous
ness, sleeplessness, loss OF memory
lack Of will power, mental confusion,
etc Others may suffer from heart
disease. bronchial trouble, hardening
OF the arteries, tuberculosis, blind
ness or even cancer or the common
affliction known as tobacco heart. If
you use tobacco in any form you can
easily detect the harmful effects by
making the following simple tests:
Read aloud one full page from a
book. II, in the course Of reading,
your voice becomes muffled, hoarse
and indistinct, and you must fire.
quently clear your throat, the chances
are that your throat is affected by
.catarTh and ii may be the beginning
of more serious trouble. Next, in the
morning, before taking your usual
smoke, walk up three flights Of stair

PROHIBITION
ENFORCEMENT
Bill Passed by House Goes to Senate
Where Committee May
Make No Change
Whatever.

limited Press Leased Wire Serv1ce.l
WASHINGTON, July 23.-The pro
hibition enforcement bill passed BY
the house yesterday, went to SUBJ
committee of the senate. Chairman
Sterling, Of this committee, declared
he would oppose any attempt to
change the provision which says that
liquor containing one-half of one
percent alcohol is intoxicating and
illegal.
Search of homes and seizure of
private stocks" will probably cause
protracted arguments as some sena-
tors fear the house measure is too
severe. There was little hope that
the bill will be reported to the SEN
ate for action before the end OF
August, If then. The senate is not
expected to take up prohibition until
the peace treaty Is disposed of.

The keokuk Men Who Went to Mont
rose to Eat Fried Chicken Last
Evening Have Festive
Time.
SEVENTY WERE PRESENT
Plans are Begun for sociability Run
In the Interest of Good Roads
In the Near
Future.

Seventy men attended the dinner OF
the CONNER club at Montrose last
evening and got better acquainted
with their business associates while
eating fried chicken.
From a sociability and edibiltty
standpoint it voted a success by
every one of the seventy who at
tended it.
Starting from the offices of the In
dustrial association in automobiles, at
6 o'clock, they arrived at Montrose
and waited impatiently for the last
one to arrive, SO that they might start
the business of the evening.
The dinner was served by the mem
bers Of the Eastern Star in the Odd
Fellows hall. The tables were gaily
decorated with various kinds of
flowers, both of the wild and the
garden variety.
The eatables were served in the
good old fashioned way. There were
no individual dishes, but the gem
erous platters full OF fried chicken and
all the trimmings that usually go with
it were placed on the table and the
guests were allowed to do the rest.
Short Business Session.
After the final course Of ice cream
and cake, the cigars were passed
around and a very short business ses-
sion was held Chairman ]. w. Win
ger asked for an expression on the
proposed sociability run for the near
future.
The response of several was that 1t
should be a run in the interest of good
roads, instead of the usual trip that
had been taken in the past.
J. NJ Fulton stated that trip to
Burlington had been considered in
which the start should be made in
the morning. Dinner would be taken
there and the return trip made around
to the west. The proposal included
picnic supper at Mooar. or in that
vicinity.
At the close Of the discussion 1t was
decided to appoint committee to
plan such run as had seemed to
meet the approval of those present.
The chairman then called upon
Sheriff John C. Scott to express to
the women who had served the supper
the appreciation Of the visitors. But
he stated that he felt out of place try
ing to do that in his own home town
and passed the duty along by calling
on Mayor Ed s. Lotion.
The Mayors Views.
Processing that the event was to be
one Of the few he had attended where
speech making was to be out OF
order, the mayor declined to do more
than to say thank you in his own orr
ginal way.
speaking of sociability runs" he
said. there is no sociability run that
would suit me better than to return
to Montrose for another event IKE
this"
A rising vote of thanks by the men
present was the final ceremony OF
the enjoyable evening.
The return trip was made about y
o'clock; in time for many Of the guests
to attend the pictures shown by the
High Tension club at Rand park.

Most of the leaders in amateur base
ball meet tonight at 613 14th street
for a general discussion of rules to
govern new organization to be
known as the Amateur Base Ball As
socia ton of the District of Columbia,
At least it is surmised that the or
ganzation to be formed this spring
will take the same name as that held
by the one WHICH governed amateur
base ball here for several years.
Tonghts meeting will be the third
gathering for the purpose Of reha
bilitating amateur base ball in Wash
ington. The first took place two
weeks ago and consisted of gather
ing of all those sufficiently interested
to be present. The next was a meet
ing of the committee appointed to
consider ways and means tc reor-
ganize for the greatest benefit to all
concerned. and the result of the COM
mittee meeting was the call for an
other general meeting.
Especially is it desired that man
ayers and captains OF independent
clubs be present tonight. Opinions
from them are needed in order to
frame rules that will cover independ
ent ball and give the independents
that otherwise they would not have
Representatives of teams that expect
to play in leagues also should be on
hand to air their views as to what
should be done for the rebuilding' of
amateur base ball and the bettermsnt
of the sport generally. The meeting
is to begin at o'clock.
Georgetown's base ball team is to
open it's season this afternoon against
Rock Hill College. The Blue and
Gray nine probably will be without
the services of Pitcher Dudack, who
has gone to his home up in New
England, because of the serious ILL
ness of his mother. The game is
scheduled to begin at o'clock.
University of Virginia is said to
have a stronger freshman nine this
spring than it has first team. That
is the rumor. but such rumors usual
ly may be taken with grain OF
salt
Letters will be awarded at Mary
land State this spring for base ball
This will be the first team to which
the college has awarded letters since
the United States entered the war
The last varsity team at state tnat
received formal recognition for its
services by the award of letters was
the foot ball aggregation of 1916. In
1917, though, the eleven won the
state championship, and members Of
that squad probably will get letters
and the gold foot balls that go with
them some time this spring.
