And daisies were the shroud;

new BAIT FOR CARP FISHINe
With the First Signs of Spring Carp
Fishing Begins in Vicinity of To-
peka-Best Bait Is Prepared by
Use of Honey.

When a portion of the Mississippi
river bottom was drained of its water
during tie construction of the dam at
keokuk, Ia, the muddy surface thus
exposed to the sunlight was soon
changed to a mass of living green by
the sprouting of millions of seeds that
had been deposited in the river bed
1t is one of natures laws that
wherever there is food, some creature
will be found to consume it. The carp
is vegetarian and seems to have been
created to feed upon this vast amount
of vegetable food in our stream beds.
The carp is the first fish to bite in
the spring and with the coming of
warm days, wise old fishermen from
every community in the land feel the
irresistible call and slip quietly away
to the nearest streams to fish for
carp.
The carp has a sucker mouth, is
shaped something like the black bass
and in the cool water of early spring
is almost as game. Inasmuch as he
draws his sustenance from the plant
world, 1t is necessary to use some kind
of plant food for bait. Years ago it
was the custom to boil field corn until
it was soft enough to run fish hook
thru. Later it was found that canned
sweet corn was more attractive. But
the fisherman of today who angles for
carp uses a wonderful, mysterious, al
Turing bait. known to the craft as
"doughball."
The following recipe for "dorgh
balls" was secured from an old fisher

WHAT A TONIC
DOES FOR YOU
AND WHY YOU NEED IT, IN so MANY
INSTANCES WHEN YOU ARE RUN DOWN.
NERVOUS OR HAVE HAD TO ENDURE
GREAT STRAIN OR WORRY OF ANY KIND.

A tonic is something which puts tone,
energy, strength and endurance into you.
1t gives push to your heart, making 1t
pump the blood over your body more
vigorously; it makes your lungs expand
more fully and thereby take up more
strength giving oxygen from the air you
breathe; 1t makes your kidneys work bet
ter and carry off the poisons which would
otherwise accumulate in the body; it
makes your digestive apparatus perform its
work better and give your blood the ma
terial it needs for feeding and sustaining
your body; it makes your brain act more
vigorously and enables you to think more
accurately and for long periods without
fatigue, thus bringing you greater sue
cess in whatever business, profession or
undertaking you are engaged.
When you are rundown, nervous. half
give up, experience of many years has
shown that one of the best remedies to pull
you out Of this bad predicament is good
old organic iron. But be sure the iron
you take is organic iron, the kind that is
found in plants, and not metallic iron
which people usually take. Organic iron
may be had from your druggist under the
name of Nuxated Iron. 1t often increases
the strength, energy and endurance of
weak, nervous, tired out folks in two
weeks time. Beware of substitutes. AL
ways look for the word "Nuxated'' on
every package and the letters N I. on every
tablet. Sold by all druggists.-Adv.

Banker StiIIman's Wife May
Block Divorce Trial.
Defends Herself by Proof Of

New York, March 25.-Mrs. Tiff
Potter Stillman's plan of campaign to
defend her honor and establish the
legitimacy of her 2-year-old son. Guy.

follows:
She will concentrate every effort to
prove James A. Stiilman. president of
the National City bank, is franklin
Harold Leeds" father OF the 2.year-
old son of MRS. Florence Leeds"
If the court is convinced OF this,
Stillman will be unable to obtain a
divorce in New York state, as the law
provides that a complainant in such
suit must come into court with clean
hands,
This accomplished, Mrs. Stilinan
would then press her counter suit for
divorce in a separate action, again
employing the Leeds situation as the
means of obtaining the court verdict
The burden of proof regarding the
alleged illegitimacy of Guy Stillman, it
is contended by those close to Mrs.
Stillman, rests with her multi-mililon-
aire husband. This also may consti-
tute a separate action.

BETTER PRICES on TIRES
THROUGH ASSOCIATION

Mr.. Beasley of Beas!eys Auto Sup
ply Shop announces that his firm has
been appointed Polk county member
Of the Tire Dealers Buying Associa-
lion, and organization devoted wholly
to the buying and selling of tires and
having members among tire and ac-
cessory dealers all over the country,
each member pledging himself to buy
all his tires from the association.
This enables the association to
take the complete output of a fac
tory (The Lion Tire and Rubber Cor
poration) and to sell at greatly re-
duced prices without in any way re-
ducing the quality of the tires. The
factory in this way eliminates all
selling expense, statesmen and adver-
Using. 1t sells to the association at
a very small profit above it's manu-
featuring cost which it can easily do
because Of a larger demand and a
certainty that it's entire output will
quickly be taken at all times The
association in turn sells to its men,
bers at a small commission on each
tire handled and having practically
no expense and selling for cash only.
Mr.. Beasley says he can thus sell
to you at prices which pass the saw
ing of about 80 per cent to you and
still give you first class tires instead
of seconds which usually sell al
about the same price. He is very
fortunate in securing membership in
this organization as it expects to ex.
tend its operations and will eventu-
ally cover his complete line enabling
him to sell automobile accessories at
the same saving.
