NEGRO PROBLEM
TO BE SOLVED
Institutional Church Has Been Plan
ned and When Completed Will Fill
Great Need, It is
Believed.

An institutional church to cost $780,
900, is being proposed for Keokuk.
The church would be community
center for the colored people of keo-
kuk and will provide for means of i'm
provement for the race, which are now
lacking. The proposed building will
be under the direction of the Pilgrims
Rest Baptist church, the Rev. ]. Ster-
ling Moore, pastor.
The plan is to provide for the. youth
of the colored race in order that they
may grow into good citizens. Keokuk
has today more colored boys and girls
than ever One-sMth of keokuk's
population is colored. .r.-..
The church owns quarter of a
block of grounds opposite st. Joseph's
hospital and will build the new church
on this property. 1t is the intention
to move the old building to the rear
and to make it a home for unfortunate
aged and neglected children Of the
colored race.
!. 1t is planned. to ask for contribution
from both white and colored people,
and the money subscribed by the
white people will be put into the hands
of a committee of white people. After
the completion of the building the
public will never be asked for funds
for running expenses, the church will
be able to take care of that

A Sure Way To
End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely. To do this, just get about four
ounces of plain, common liquid arvon
from any drug store (this is all you will
need), apply it at night when retiring;
use enough to noisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve, and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how much
dandruff you may have:
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly and your
hair will be fluffy lustrous, glossy, silky
and soft, and look and feel hundred
times better.

Other Peoples Ideas
An Inquiring Reporter Finds Out
What They Think About
Topics Of Interest
Locally.
Do you think everyone in Keo-
kuk should learn to swim?


c. e. Durgee, General Secretary, Y
M. c. A, THE people who live along
the shores of our great Mississippi
river do not take part in or enjoy
boating, camping, bathing, skating
fishing and similar sports in large
mum bers. Is lniS due to the fact that
they feel they are not able to save
themselves should some accident oc
cur, or do they not care for these red
blooded sports? p
"A number of fatal accidents have
occurred on the river here at Keokuk
during the past few years, and with
the increased number of excursions
the steamers carrying many people
this season, other accidents are pos
sible at any time. Can you save your
self? and what can you do for the
other fellow? are the questions. Do
not depend on someone else to save
you. Aside from the pleasure and ex-
liberation one feels from swimming,
it's greatest value is in being able to
save yourself and help save someone
else.
Every man, woman, boy and girl
in the city should know how to swim.
They can learn at the public beaches
or at the Y. M. c. A."
c.. F. Mcfarland, President Of Keo-
kuk Red Cross Organization. Swim
sure! When I was a boy I went
swimming with cousin who could
not swim pushed him into a deep
hole lust for fun" and swan out
with him after he had gone down
twice. A young man whom I knew
we'll saved child's life a few years
ago by jumping into the canal and
swimming ashore with the child The
same young man few years later
saved his own life by strong swim
ming when he broke through the ice
when skating. I am strong for uni
versal knowledge of swimming, no one
can tell when it is going to be need
ed
Van B.. Hayden, Swimming Instruc-
tor for Girls Glasses at Y. Every one
should know how to swim and there
is no reason why any of the young
people of Keokuk should be without
this ability. The lake affords an ex-
cellent opportunity, and if common
sense precautions are taken 1T is no
more dangerous than the old canal.
With a little preliminary instruction,
all one needs is the water and the
chance to keep at it. Swimming is
the best exercise in the world and a
great sport besides" III

Such Pretty WAGES and

not, by all means do SO. Within
three hours you can have just the

will be surprised how long they will

Silmerine should be applied with a

know how to swim, for it means much
pleasure, better health and the power
TO save in case of accident"
Miss Nettie Dell Bayley, General
Secretary, Y. w. G. A.
Everyone should know how to
swim. Besides gradually strengthen
ing the entire system and bringing
about general and symmetrical de-
yelopment of every part of the body,
swimming acts as an effective nor
malizer of weight Knowing how to
save others as we'll as yourself is a
very valuable part Of swimming.
Water preparedness should be an
essential part of everyone's educa-
ton. Some day you may be put to
a test. Time and money spent IN
training the body pays bigger divd-
dend than any other investment

COLISEUM, CHICAGO, June g.
The submission of the party platform
to the convention by the resolutions

until after nominations are made, be-
cause of expected difficulties in franz

important planks, it was reported to-

General rules of the convention pro-

that these will be suspended by unan,
