MUCH WATER
FROM THE SKY
Mississippi River Rises Five rect
Following Heavy Rainfall
Here and Else
where.

Just before the water works OF
Keokuk went out of commission
there was a very havy rainfall from
the sky.
Saturday and Saturday night LII
inches of rain fell, most of 1t early
Sunday morning just after midnight.
It rained hard and Numbered inces-
sanity. The thunder stopped so sud
denly as to suggest the stories OF the
cessation of the artillery at IL O'Clock
November IL, in France.
The rain beat down the country
roads and washed off the paved
streets in town.
The Mississippi river was around
low water mark week ago, but this
morning it was twelve feet above
zero on the gauge. 1t rose four feet
since Sunday morning and five feet
since Saturday morning. The rise
extended as far up as Dubuque, for
the rain of Saturday and Saturday
night was general in this part of the
country.
Quincy got her heaviest rain Sat
urday afternoon, and it was enough
to cave in some street paving and do
other damage.

Coming Events
Cast Their Shadows
Prepare Now to Withstand the Crisis.

Do not anticipate with q shudderlng dread
the beautiful event Of childbirth. You can
avoid discomfort during the period and
strain at the crisis by preparing your system
and putting yourself in splendid condition
to meet the time.
For Just this purpose women all over the
land, In every walk of life, have used for
over half century the time -honored and
famous remedy, Mothers Friend. It is pre-
pared to give the nother-to.be that direct
help she needs. The muscles, nerves, ten
fions and cords arc made and kept soft and
elastic. Thus strain Is avoided. and as a
result nervousness, nausea, bearing-down
and stretching pains are avoided.
The abdominal muscles expand easily and
gently when baby Is born. Naturally, pain
Is less and the hours are fewer. The system
Is prepared and the crisis Is one Of much
less danger.
Write the Bradheld Regulator Company.

anything you can think Of.
And ren .mber. there Is nothing to take
the place OF MOTHERS FRIEND.
