Waterloo.

Keokuk people who remember W.
n Terrell Of the state attorney s
office at Des Moines, may be inter
ested in knowing that the state
agent is having troubles Of his own
around Waterloo and Cedar Falls.
The following story. comes from
Waterloo:
Judge Birdsall has taken under
adyisement the case against State
Agent H. W. Terrell, charged with
assault and battery on Policeman
Peter Rock when he produced his
loaded gun on being asked for his
credentials.
He had asked the officer to, assist
him in ralding gambling places In
stead, the officer arrested him and
dragged him to the police station,
where he was discharged and his
gun returned to him.
He afterwards got warrants for
the alleged gambling places, at Ce-
dar Falls, and captured lot OF para
phernalia.
R. e. Peterson and G. F.. Rietz, OF
Waterloo, were fined $50 each for
unlawful assemblage and $3.50 worth
OF gambling machinery seized by
Agent Terrell was broken up by him.
Terrell in his trial said that mer'
chants had been tipped In advance OF
tne projected raid by state agents,
out County Attorney e. J. Wenner
resented the charge and declared
mat the machines were removed be-
lore the attorney generals office had
notified him of the contemplated
raids.
lerrell has had Rock and Lee
smilh arrested on charge of as
saalling an officer, and they will be
uied at Cedar Falls Thursday.

PHOSPHATE
Women Need Il to Bring Pink Glow
Of Health to Pale Cheeks and FORE
stall Tell-Tale Lines OF age.
Mon Need II to Make Strong,
Vigorous Bodies and
Steady Nerves.

Weak, thin peopIe--men or
women-are nearly always nervous
wrecks; thus conclusively proving
that thinness, weakness, debility ana
neurasthenia are almost invariably
due to nerve starvation. Feed your
nerves and all these symptoms due
to nerve starvation will disappear.
Eminent specialists state that one
of the best things for the nerves Is
an organic phosphate known among
druggists as Bitro-Phosphate, q nve-
grain tablet Of which should be
taken with each meal. Being a genu-
tne nerve builder and not stlmu-
liant or habit-forming drug, bltro-
Phosphate can be safely taken by the
weakest and most delicate sufferer,
and the results following Its use are
often simply astonishing.
BY Strengthening the nerves. weak,
tired people regain energy and vigor;
thinness and angularity give way to
plumpness and curves; steep returns
to the sleepless confidence and
cheerfulness replace debility and
gloom; dull eyes become bright, and
pale, sunken cheeks regain the pink
glow Of health.
CAUTION - itro-Phosphate, the
use of which is inexpensive, also
wonderfully promotes the assimila-
ton of food, so much SO, that many
people report marked gains of weight
in few weeks. Those taking ftSwno
do not desire to put on flesh, should
use extra care in avoiding fat-pro-
ducing foods.

Read Before You Buy

The housewife who recalls the oldtime method of
shopping should be thankful for her newspaper that
brings to her the daily news of modern markets.
In the advertising columns are spread out for your
inspection the wares of every progressive merchant
in town. Here all four corners of the earth have
something of interest to tell you. From your easy
chair you read the offerings compare values, check
up the statement from previous shopping experience
and than make your selections which you can pur-
chase with the least amount Of inconvenience
Imagine the difficulty of shopping without the aid of
the advertising pages: walking from one store to
another asking thousand questions, wasting time
that could be spent to better advantage.
Shop after you read the advertisements.
