Order.

Recently Brought

TAKE ACTION TODAY

The lid went on this morning on
punch boards and candy boards
throughout the city. 1t also was
clamped down on some slot machines
which 1t Is said were recently i'm
ported into the city. The authorities
served notice on all or the punch
board and candy board operators
that the lid was down.
An attempt was made to save the
boards by holding that when people
took chance on them, they were
given some reward like a stick of
gum Of something, but the authori-
ties hold that the punch boards con-
stitute gambling, the same as the
slot machines, and they must go
into the discard.
There are all varieties of punch
boards made, but the most popular
ones have been the candy boards.
There have been boards made,
though, that yield knives, fountain
pens and similar articles. In Illinois
it is said that the boards are allowed
to operate, but Illinois law does not
hold here, the authorities declared
on issuing the mandate.
Within week it Is understood that
some other devices were imported
and were to be imported into Keo-
kuk so the authorities put the lid on
right here, and put 1t on TO stay, &C
cording to the result of the confer
ence of officials.

The MAKING OF
4 FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making Of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil aud tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment Of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.

school program.

untried experiment. This year a mil
lion and a half of the war gardens
of the country were made by school
children, who enrolled at Washington
as soldiers Of the garden army. On an
average, each child raised ten dollars
worth OF vegetables.
In the schools the subject will be
studied as seriously as arithmetic and
other indoor lessons. Teachers will
be given intensive courses in garden
work: garden supervisors will be ap-
pointed, and lesson leaflets about
gardening will be written by experts
