WHY DO FRENCH WOMEN
ALWAYS LOOK YOUNG?

In France mothers and daughters
look like sisters. How are the
women there able to retain their
youthful looks long past middle age?
Is it because they are much given to
the use of mercolized wax? This
wax possesses a. remarkable absorb
ent property which quickly removes
the fine particles of cuticle which are
constantly dying and which are the
immediate cause OF an old-looking
complexion. Thus the livelier,
healthier, younger skin beneath is
given chance to breathe and to
show itself. Try this treatment your
self. Most likely 1t will not require
Two weeks to make your complexion
as clear, soft and beautiful as a
young girls. Just one ounce of mer-
colized wax Gall American druggists
have it, usually does the work. The
wax is put on nights like cold cream
and washed of mornings.

Keokuk factories ana business
houses which are dependent on the

not going to be caught mapping IL a
coal strike comes. The big question
in their minds is how long the re-
serve supply will last. Many of the
local plants which use electric power
for their machinery, but which are
dependent on coal for fuel, are going
rather light on fires these cool days
in order to make the piie go as far
Jas possible in case Of a tie-up in the

AS far as power is concerned local
plants are in good shape because OF
the electricity which comes from the
big hydro-electric plant here.
Individual fuel users are getting
nervous, but the sight OF big lot. or

DON I NEGLECT
YOUR BREAKFAST
Fear Of Indigestion often Prompts
One to Start the Day Wrong.
Eat What You Like, Take
Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablet and You're
Safe

Breakfast offers many OF the most
savory dishes of all the things we
eat And yet more people than other
wise go without breakfast save a roll
and cup of coffee for fear of indiges-
ton. II you like fried egg, or some
buckwheat or sausage for breakfast,
go to it and follow with a Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablet. You'll have no
trouble. The average person who
neglects breakfast will be hungry
before noon. Most men smoke to
kill the appetite, or MUNICH on some
thing to carry on till lunch time. An
empty stomach under these condi-
tions is not storing up energy, but
on the contrary, is susceptible to
many influences that may work hard
ship for the next meal.
1t is advisable to eat three good
meals day and digest them. II the
stomach seems to be weak. to help
1t or give it assistance is the ra-
tional thing to do Try good break
fast and follow it with Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets and you'll soon learn
that regularity of meals follows a
natural tendency, not an acquired
one. You will find Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets on sale in almost all
drug stores throughout the United
States and Canada.

OU|T MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take GLASS Of Salts before break
fast if your Back hurts or
Bladder is troubling you.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a. mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally,
saws well-known authority. Meat
forms uric acid which excites the
kidneys, they become overworked
from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons
from the blood. then we get sick.
Nearly all rheumatism, headaches,
liver trouble, nervousness. dizziness,
sleeplessness and urinary disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts,
or if the urine is cloudy, offensive,
full of sediment, irregular of pas.
sage or attended by sensation OF
scaIding, stop eating meat and get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful
in a glass of water before breakfast.
and in few days your kidneys will
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush
and stimulate the kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine SO it no
longer causes irritation, thus end
ing bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer-
vescent Whitewater drink which ev'
eryone should take now and then
t. keep the kidneys clean and active
and the blood pure, thereby avoid,

NEGRO BOSS
DIES SUDDENLY
Death In Quincy of Colored Politician
Recalls Time When Davey James
Was Factor in Colored
Vote There.

Lucien Murray, a figure prominent
in the negro politics in Quincy, died
suddenly Monday night. He was a
friend of Davey James of keokuk,
who came here from Quincy years
ago. The Journal says:
Death suddenly claimed Lucien
Murray, prominent negro politician
and sporting man, at his pool room,
SS5 North Eighth street, at $3.50
Monday evening. He was engaged
in playing a game of pool at the time,
and his summons came swift and
without warning. He was attacked
by hemorrhage, managed to stagger
to a chair and ask that his wife be
sent for, after which he collapsed. BY
the time DR.. J. G. Bullitt, negro physl-
clan, arrived, the end had come. There
were several negroes in the place at
the time, and as may be expected, the
sudden death at once created more
or less excitement. Murray had not
been very well for some time, but it
is said his wife alone was aware OF
the fact. To all appearances he was
the same robust, boisterous character
he always was.

Murray came here about twenty hVe
wears ago from st. Louis. He brought
with him smattering of city poll

Much to her surprise the charge was
$1,000, Peruvian money. Money is just

as long as dollar in New York. The

of circumstances that had rise in the
fact that certain horseshoe nail was
loose, and you might revise that little
verse quite within the bounds of the
possible to tell of other battles that
have been lost because of the, looseness
of buttons or fasteners at critical mo-
ments.
Now, really, isn't it a vexation to buy
an expensive frock or suit only to have
button come off on the first occasion
of wearing 1t. Perhaps the button is
lost, and as there are no others like it
in the work rooms of the shop where
you bought the suit you have to get
along the best you can with one button
missing or get an entirely new set of
buttons that perhaps are not half so
suitable or attractive.
An important fastener on your frock
becomes loosened the second time you
wear it and the third time it comes off
altogether. Then you are not quite
sure where the original fastener went
and by that time the frock has sagged
or pulled down in that particular place
and when you do come to put the miss
ing fastener on again you are never
able to restore the original trimness
of the frock
Now, really, we ought 20 demand
better things of high priced frocks and
suits. The best of workmanship has
SUMO lHlO the making OF the mater
There is not an imperfection in the
weave and the design is the result of
the best work of the best designers.
But the really important work of put
ting on fasteners is left TO some one
who is poorly paid and indifferent, and
not enough time is given for this work
to make it possible to put the fasten-
ers on as they should be put on. Now,
with mems clothes 1t is different, and
perhaps the idea originally was that
while men would demand wei fastened
buttons every woman could sew and if
their fasteners came off they could
faSten them on again. But women
cannot all sew nowadays, and besides
| they have no more time tam men for
that constant inspection of their clothes
that is necessary to see whether poorly
applied fasteners are in snp-shape

In the shops where ready made suits
are sold a great deal of time has 20 bt

J AS a result of this nation-wi
