Feature is Said to be Getting
Ready to Bridge ST. Law
renee River.

Hugh L. Cooper, builder of the keo-
kuk dam is planning the construction
OF Gam across the st. Lawrence
ricer, piece of engineering greater
even than the Keokuk dam was, &C
cording to the Iowa Farmer. The
Iowa Farmers piece says:
Hugh l.. Cooper is the. engineer that
planned and executed the construction
OF the dam across the Mississippi
river at Keokuk. fhe dam caused
the formation of great lake some
forty miles in length and from one to
three miles wide. Several suits for
damages on account of overlooked
lands followed but Theses were all COM
promised and now efforts are being
made to put a line Of pleasure boats
on the lake next season and summer
cottages are to be erected on the high
bluffs overlooking this great body of
water. With the largo rivcr packets
making trips up and down the stream
during the boating season the scene
Is said to be most attractive one.
The body of water was first named
Lake Cooper after the engineer but
the government changed 1t to Lake
keokuk in order to give an historical
setting Engineer Cooper is now
Planning the greatest piece Of engin-
eering in the history Of the world-a
Jam across the st. Lawrence river.

BETTER THAN CALONEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive TabIets-the sub
stitute for calomel-are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. These little olive.
colored tablets are the result of DR..
Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calo,nel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomeI.
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calonel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. 1t is best not to
take calonel. Let DR.. Edwards Olive
Tablets take its place.
Headaches, dizziness" and that lazy
feeling come from constipation and a
disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel 'logy and
heavy" They Clear" clouded brain
and ''perk up" the spirits. l0c and Csc.

declared that the operators could
grant the increased wages and short

price of coal.
The miners demands, which in

and a wage increase, are the out

Serene in the confidence Of their

generators have raised the "legalistie

be familiar with the work performed
In the various divisions Of the Bureau
Of Navigation, and directed all callers
to the proper office in order that they
could obtain the information they de-
sired. This young lady through her
courteous manner won the admiration
of all with whom she came in con-
tact.
The following paragraph is taken
from the New York Evening Telegram
of April Z, 1918, giving Rear Admiral
Samuelk McGowans opinion Of Miss
Sue Dorsey, the only woman recon,
mended for an officers commission
in the navy:
1.-THE most valuable woman in
the government employ" is the
way Rear Admiral Samuel Nc
Gowan, Paymaster General Of the
United States Navy, characteriz-
es Miss Sue Dorsey, the only wo-
man recommended for an Off
GERS commission in the navy. Ad-
miral MCGOWAN, urging her ap-
pointment as assistant paymas-
ter in the reserve, said: "If any
one deserves a commission, she
does" for he knew best of the
work of the dark haired, attrac-
tive young woman who has the e.
formidable title OF assistant for
Personnel to Officers in Charge
of Fleet Division, Bureau Of Sup
plies and Accounts" Miss Dor
seys job is to keep track of 1900
pay officers. She knows where
each of these officers is and how
we'll each does his work. Most of
them do not know that pretty
young woman details them to
duty, but when ship calls for
pay officer 1t is Miss Dorsey who
assigns one of those on her list"
Miss Dorsey entered the Navy De-
partment as civil service stenog-
rapher. She was temporarily assign
ed to Rear Admiral Thomas ]. Cowte
Rear Admiral McGowan's predeces-
sor. When the Bureau of Supplies
and Accounts was recognized she
was found so valuable that response
bilities which hitherto had fallen to
an officer in the navy were assigned
to her"
