people in a science that is used in
eyery industry and to help those
people to step into higher positions.

The outline of the course includes:
The study of chemical terms and
formulas.
The manufacture of different gases
such as oxygen, hydrogen, chlorine.
The problem and actual manufacture
of these gases will. be worked out by
every individual in the Laboratory.
The making of war gases will be
shown. also the means TO counteract
these gases by simple chemical
formula will be explained.
Testing for different materials in
foods. There, is hardly a person but
who would like to find the answer to
a few problems like this: Does the
milk man put preservatfves In the
milk: II so. how much- Is there any
water in the gasoline I buy? What
Is in baby's soothing syrup? All
these problems are easily solved
when one knows the principals of
chemistry.
General Information.
The course will be conducted We'd
nesdays and Thursdays at the high
school building from 1880 to $3.50
o'clock.
Credits equivalent to one semes
ter's work in the high school will be
given on completion Of the course.
Tuition will be three dollars for
the sixteen weeks course. Fhe tut
ton Is charged to create interest,
avoid curiosity seekers. and to pay
for chemicals used.
The course is open to every citizen
of Keokuk and not to high school
students alone. Several men and
women already have registered.
Particulars concerning the course
can be secured from G.. G. Applebee
Instructor in chemistry IN the high
