established business men. 1t was ru'
mored a banker, several city officials,
a court clerk and other leaders were

The place where the Keokuk lads

gave their strawberry demonstrations.
Their demonstrations were not so
polished when it came to fine SPEAK

1t came to answering questions ,of
professional growers, who asked them
questions in attempts to rattle

E. A. STEINER
FIRST SPEAKER
Professor From Grinneli Univerity
Talks at Congregational Church
on, Characterization or
Alienation"

Last night was America night at
the Congregational church when the
first address of the Open Forum
season was given by Prof. E. A.
Steiner on characterization or
AS a splendid example
of naturalized American, he gave
an Interpretation of the making Of
America that was all that could be
desired.
He said that one of the greatest
surprises of the war was the readi-
ness with which the country accepted
the principle of the universal mill
tary law. A large proportion of the
troops sent to Europe were men of
foreign birth. But they went as true
Americans.
In spite of the many nationalities
of immigrants, America is practically
the only single-language nation on
the earth. France has the Provencal
of the south, the northern Italian
cannot understand the southern
Italian, the Welshman uses English,
but retains his WEIGH, there are still
Gaelic localities in Scotland, and
Ireland is renewing her form OF
Gaelic. In the heart Of Germany,
within rev UulleS vi del IhCi .
are several hundred thousand Slavs
who have kept their language
through several hundred years, but
America uses English.
One of the reasons why the alien
coming to America soon becomes
American is because he has the spirit
of America before he comes. Prof.
Steiner told of his experience as a
little boy of six years, taken by his
mother on a visit to their capital city
of Budapest, and seeing statue OF
George Washington in one of the
parks. There are six statues of
Washington in various countries. and
he has become looked upon as the
personification of liberty.
The address was replete with witty
and interesting remarks and his
eulogy of Lincoln was word pic
tire of rare beauty DR.. Steiner will
ALWAYS be welcome in Keokuk.
Plans for the Open Forum promise
a series of exceedingly valuable ad-
dresses through the winter.

Over fifty years ago a young
physician practiced widely in a
rural district and became famous
for his uniform success in the
curing of disease. This was DR..
Pierce, who afterwards estab-
lished himself in Buffalo, N. Y,
and placed one of his prescriptions,
which he called Golden Medical
Discovery" in the drug stores Of
the United States SO that the pub
lie could easily obtain this very
remarkable tonic, corrective and
blood maker. DR.. Pierce manu-
featured this Discovery" from
roots and banks "a corrective
remedy, the ingredients Of which
nature had put in the fields and
forests, for keeping US healthy.
Few folks or families now living
have not at sometime or other used
this Golden Medical Discovery"
for the stomach, liver and heart.
Over twenty four million bottles
Of this tonic and blood remedy
have been sold in this country.

FOR ITCHING TORTURE
Use Antiseptic Liquid Zerno

There is one remedy that seldom
fails to stop itching torture and relieve
skin irritation and that makes the skin
soft, clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
Zemo, which generally overcomes skin
diseases. Eczema, itch, pirnples, rashes,
blackheads, in most cases give way
to Zemo. Frequently, minor blemishes
disappear overnight. Itching usually
stops instantly. Zemo is safe, anti
septic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. 1t costs only 35c; an extra
large bottle, S1.00. 1t will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.
