W BUILDING WILL BE !.
REMODE[ED FOR BOYS.

He was ingenious enough to devise
~ way or abolishing the auditorium,
moving some walls cutting in some
new entrance doors, and rearranging
things, SO that the big, free boys dc.
partment will have a large section
of the building to itself, with outside
entrance, entrance to gym gallery,
and it's own game rooms with pool
tables and eyerything-an be sepa-
rated from the men as thoroughly as
lis a Spanish senorita during her
courtship.
The Cost and the Profit.
. The architect also, reported that
doing all this will cost pretty lot
of money. @
The only excuse for doing it is, TO
give real boys an outlet for their
activities in decent clubs and asso-
Citations, instead of driving them 70
the gang formation--and society and
government has had plenty of expert
ments with gangs, from New York to
Keoiuk
There's only one way OUT said
director of the association when he
heard the figures read, land that Is
to tell the people of Keokuk about It
and ask them for the money. It's not
any more our business than it is
theirs. We get no income from these
boys, with our free memberships
given to all keokuk boys alike, and
the community gets the good Of this
work that l believe is better work
than lots Of other things"
No Doubt Of the Outcome.
Thursday noon a corps of canvas
sers will start out all over Keokuk
of them in another
drive. The regular annual budget of
the Y. M. G. A. plus the large amount
necessary to continue the boy work
amounts to $4,000 which the people
of all keokuk will give Thursday
afternoon and Friday. t,S,.1a 3 81.
"Oh! Yes; they will: Keokuk never
turned down a good proposition when
asked to finance it-a1d this invest
ment for boys all over town of every
kind, creed, color, of hair and number
of freckIes is one of the best propo-
sitions ever offered Keokuk people,"
said man this afternoon who does
MT belong to the Y M. C. A. and
never goes there, but has full know
ledge of real boys and. the new, move
ment of the last year for such boys.

germs which cause the disease.
Are you going to further temper

you know that you can use gallons
upon gallons of local treatment
without the slightest permanent
benefit? Just give the matter lit
tie careful thought, and you will
realize that it is but waste of

Jeopardizing your health, to con-
tinue a method OF treatment that
has proven of so little value in

MAY CUT ACREAGE
OF CROPS This YEAR
Tobacco And Corn Growers E,x-
pect Late And inferior
Crop At Best

After a little more than two
days dilligent work in the corn
fields, farmers have again taken
to shelter, and are becoming ap-
prehensive regarding the years
crop. The recent favorable
weather found every man in the
field and a great quantity of
corn was planted, however the
limited time admitted OF but a
small per cent of the crop being
put out. Some are of the opinion
that there will be a short crop
owing to the continued rains
which have placed the ground in
such condition that work cannot
be resumed now for several days,
at least.
The condition of the tobacco
plants, which is not normal, at
the best generally, is said to be
unimproved, and the development
is being hampered. Some are
planning to reduce their acreage,
being satisfied that there will be
an inferior crop, except upon the
choice ground.
To those who are becoming
I disheartened at the present
prospects, 1t might be well to
state that 20 years ago today the
atmosphere was four degrees
colder than today and On May 10,
!26 years ago, there was heavy
snow which broke the limbs from
trees and injured 3hrubbery.

What Are You Going to
Do About Your Catarrh?

expect to be cured by the use of
local remedies. But have you ever
known of one single person to be
freed from the slavery of Catarrh
by any kind of local treatment?
Why? Simply because they have
overlooked the cause of these
symptoms, and hence the treat T..
ment has been misdirected. Re-
move the cause of the clogged up
accun1ulations that choke up your
air passages, and they will natur-
ally disappear for good. But no
matter how many local; applica-
tons you use to temporarily clear
them away, they promptly reap
pe>r and will continue to do 50
until their cause is removed. .,---
But if you will take a Treatments
that goes right down to the very
source of the disease and attacks it
at its starting point, then you are
on the right track. and can expect
results. S. S. S., the fine old fifty
year old blood remedy is an anti
dote to the millions of tiny Ca
tarrh germs with which your blood
is infested. Don't waste further
time by continuing a treatment
that can make no progress toward
permanent relief, but begin to take
S. S. S. today, and you will receive
the same benefit that others have.
