II Would Mean Moro IN Sentiment If
Placed on Some Other Than
Busy Corner Of tho
Street.
WOULD HELP TRAFFIC
There is Possibility Of Serious Acct
dent Due to Location Of the
Statue, Automobile People
Say.

Anent the suggestion to change the
name of Main street to Curtis avenue,
q Keokuk man this morning proposed
another change, and one which he
said would go long ways towards
making Keokuk's streets safer, and
would also pay greater reverence to
the memory of General Curtis. His
suggestion is to move the Curtis
monument at Third and Main streets
IN the little park at Twentieth and
Main.
Where it is now, it was pointed
out the statue is menace to traffic
and there is possibility of fatal
accident occurring some time. There
is hardly room between the car
tracks and the right hand side OF the
monument for an auto to pass a
street car. Some time, 1t was said,
an auto will be bottled UP in this
pocket and an accident occur.
There are two garages at this
street corner, and possibility of an
other ones being erected in this
vicinity. This focuses traffic in a
measure on this corner, and adds to
the hazards. For this reason it wouli
be worth while from safety view
point to move the big monument
Besides the measure of safety,
there is measure Of reverence in
the suggestion. People seldom pay
much attention to the monument I'M
less some wag hangs a sign on it,
or some automobilist tries to drive
up its steep sides.
Would Mean More.
~If the statue is to mean as much
to the city as it should. it ought to
be put some other place than where
it is now. The logical place, it seems
to me, is out in the parking space
on Twentieth and Main streets.
People coming into town could stop
and see what it was then, and out
of town people might get real good
glimpse Of it without having to keep
the other eye out to avoid collisions.
We have already had narrow escapes
from accidents at the corner, and
we are likely to have a serious
smash-up there.
= Changing the name is all right,
and believe people would like if"
this man continued. But wheth sr
we change the name OF not, let's
move the statue"
1t is said that automobile owners
in Keokuk would raise fund in half
an hour to move the statue.

DRINK HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST
Says you really feel clean, sweet
and fresh inside, and
are seldom Ill.

If you are accustomed to wake up
with coated tongue, foul breath or a
dull headache; or if your meals sour
and ferment, you have a real surprise
awaiting you.
Tomorrow morning, Immediately
upon arising, drink q glass q hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This is intended to
first neutralize and then wash out of
your stomach, liver, kidneys and
thirty feet of intestines all the indi-
gestible waste, poisons, SQUIRE bile and
toxins, thus cleansing, sweetening
and purifying the entire alimentary
canal.
Those subject to headaches, back
aches, bilious attacks, constipation or
stomach trouble, are urged to get a.
quarter pound Of limeston phosphate
from the drug store and begin enjoy
ing this morning inside bath.
just as hot water and soap cleanse,
purify and freshen the skin, so hot
water an teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver
kidneys and bowels. Limestone phos-
phate is an inexpensive white powder !
and almost tasteless.

Threshing Is Resumed Today.

Threshing was resumed in the vi
entity of Moscow today and the hum
of the thresher is heard in many di-
rections. Ideal weather for the har-
vest work has prevailed for the past
several days and the grain is in fine
condition. Some large shocks are
said to be slightly damages in the
center yet, but as rule the grain is
threshing well. Some binders are at
work and in few fields combines
have started, the standing grain being
perfectly dry and in good condition.
Farmers report that the wheat was
not injured in the least, but there
was slight damage to oats and some
damage to peas which are SCATTERING

TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Young! Bring Back Its Natural
Color, Gloss and At
Effectiveness.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
few applications will prove reve-
lation if your hair is fading, streaked
or gray. Mixing the Sage tea and sui
phur recipe at home, though, is trou-
blesome. An easier way is to get a
bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound at any drug store all ready
for use. This is the old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other in
gradients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
no one can tell, because II does it so
naturally, so evenly. You just dampen
a sponge or soft brush with T and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morn
ing all gray hairs have disappeared,
and after another application or two
your hair becomes beautifully dark,
glossy, soft and luxurant.

Yet land is cheaper in Latah coun-
ty today than it is in any other part
of the United States, for land equally
as good. A sale of a farm near Mos
COW at 1925 per acre has been record
ed. This is a new high record. This
land sold less than two years ago for
what was a high record at that time,
$3.50 per acre, Or SIS per acre less
than the price just paid for it.
Had any one told us a few years
ago that men would buy land at from
$500 to 5000 per acre for speculative
purposes, we would have laughed them
to scorn, yet men are today buying
land at these prices and selling it in
a few days or weeks or months for an
advance of from $40 to $40 per acre,
and the last man to buy it is believed
to have the best bargain of all.
Land not as good as that in Latah
county is selling in Minnesota, Iowa
and other central states for from $3.50
to $500 per acre and $500 to $500 are
ommon prices. Yet this land will
produce more per acre than that land.

Coinage originated in Asia Minor,
and as early as the time Of Seven
Wise Men coins were in common use,
according to Mary Mills Patrick. In

The first coins were made of electrum,

and which was found in natural form
in the mountains OF Lydia. There were
