Gate City and the Constitution,
Was Here Yesterday
on Visit

John Sterling, an old time printer,
who worked on The Gate City when
lit was on Second street, and later
worked on the Constitution, back in
the 70's, was in keokuk yesterday
visiting. He was accompanied by his
wife and they left this morning for
Pennington. Mr.. Sterling's home is
lCorydon.
Mr. Sterling recalled number Of
the old time printers and the days
iof real sport" then. He had some
ideas for type setting machine, and
Math Ribyn made the patterns for
the machine. The printers all laugh
ed at such an idea, Mr.. Sterling said,
and they could not figure how to
make line corrections,
The advance in printing and type
setting machines has been rapid in
the last quarter of century, Mr.
Sterling recalled, as he reminisced
about some OF the old days in the
shop when everything was set by
hand.
While in the city Mr.. Sterling
called on J. G. Paradice, DR.. moor
head, William and Robert Reese, and
visited for short time with c. F..
Skirvin, with whom he was well ac-
euainted when a resident of Creston.

kinds, parts of cars and new tires
are being stolen. and are practically
impossible to trace.
1t is believed that the gang has Its
headquarters in Minneapolis, where
much of the loot is being disposed Of
So far as can be determined the var
fous workers who seem to be spread
ing over the entire state are getting
their spoil to central points in the
state and then hauling 1t overland by
motor truck to the larger cities where
fences" either purchase the stolen
goods outright or sell them on COM

The officers Of the Motor Trades

FOREMAN TELLS
ABOUT TROUBLE
Cotton Suffered Seven Years-Gains
Twenty-Five Pounds After
Taking Tanlac.

mo, sir, l wasn't much surprised
when / got on the scales the other
day and found that I had gained
twenty-five pounds in weight, for !
have been eating like wolf and
picking UP rapidly ever since l fin-
ished my first bottle of Tanlac little
less than two months ago."
The above statement was made by
George Cotton, of liza East Twenty
first street, Kansas City, Mo-, while
discussing the merits Of the medicine,
recently. Mr.. Cotton has been fore,
man for one Of the large coal conn.,
panies in Kansas City for great
many years and is highly respected
by all who know him.
my wife and l both tested Tan
lac" he continued, "and 1t has helped
us SO much that we want everybody
to know about it. AS for my own
case, my kidneys had been botherins
me for seven Years or more and there
We're sucff fearful pains in the smaH
of the back at times that could not
get up or down without help. My KID,
neys disturbed me so often at night
that Iscould get very little sleep, and
/ was in such a badly run down cou-
dition that ! was forced to stay away
from my work for days at a time
My appetite was very poor and my
stomach SO upset that could not eat
anything but what would sour and
cause the worst kind of pains in the
pit of my st ,rcGch. l lost great
deal in weight, often had dizzy
spells, and was seldom free from
headache.
We'll, nothing ever helped me I'M
til got Tanlac, and goodness only
knows how much money l have PAID
out trying to get relief. / had heard
a great deal about Tanlac, but never
thought much about it being what L
needed until my wife took it with
such wonderful results s'ho haa
been suffering for a long time from
very much the same kind of troubles
and after seeing how the medicine
was building her UP l began taxing
II myself. She was in such bad
condition that none OF the neighbors
thought she would get well. and she
had lost nearly all hope herself. But
in lust a few weeks after she began
taking Tanlac she was feeling like a
new woman and had gained ten
pounds in weight, Well, the way
Tanlac has helped me is just about
as remarkable as the way 1t helped
my wife. By the time my first bottle
was gone / was feeling like differ
ent man. / am well man now, and
I mean to say by that that haven't
a pain of any kind. My kidneys never
bother me any more and my appetite
couldn't be better.ss-I never miss
day from my work now, and there's
noting too good for my wife and
myself to say for Tanlac. Anyone
wishing to do SO may either write
or call on us and we will gladly tell
them our experience with what we
consider the grandest medicine on
earth"

VILLAGE GOSSIP
Story of The Shepherd.

Rev. Roy Welker of the Union Semi
nary, preached at the Union Church
of Palisade last Sunday. He did not
announce subject, but started out
to talk of Prayer. How many, he
asked, believe that prayer has it's
worth in our own Christian life? How
many believe that prayer, that COM
munion with God, has no meaning in
fact? He did not proceed far before
he changed his subject to a picture
Of the story of the Twenty-third Psalm,
'"The Lord Is My Shepherd" The rest
of the sermon was on this thought.
The transition from the subject Of
prayer was sudden, and was never
again alluded to. The story of the
shepherd guarding his sheep, the wolf
and the lamb, and the command of the
shepherd to his flock to stand against
the wolf until he was destroyed, were
gone into with infinite detail, suggest
ing that perhaps the speaker had pre-
pared himself for talk with the
youngsters Of the Sunday School. The
sermon was not without application
and interest, but 1t Is no more than
kindness to suggest in passing that he
be reminded that the smile In the pic
ture he endeavOred to paint was not
drawn with proper care, because it was
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1920-10-30

over-filled with detail. In painting pic
lures, one must always observe that
the truest art is painting nature as it
looks and not as it is. If trees were
painted with all the fidelity required
to bring out the veins of the leaves,
it would lack in the essentials feeling
expression and good picture painting
Rev. Welker makes always an inter-
esting impression, but his effort last
the way suggested.
If you have been notified don't fail
to attend the Halloween party Mon
day night at the Palisade Church.
Great happiness for young and old
alike-especially both.

brought along, SO the wienies were
eaten in regular Coney Island style.
