TUESDAY, JAN. 25,191ff 10 MOON THE PURE FOOD SHOW Director# of Keokuk Retailers' League Take Action at Meeting, After Hearing Ingle's .....Report. THE FALL CELEBRATION May be Sacked Instead of the Pure pood Show—National Pay-Up Week, Also Passed Up. The directors of the Keokuk Retail ers' league at a meeting held yester day afternoon in the Industrial asso ciation offices, voted to abandon the [Ure food show and also passed up the national pay-up week proposition. J. P. Ingle, chairman of the pure food show committee, was present at the meeting and presented a report of the committee's work and also told of the conditions found in Cedar Rapids and Davenport, the two cities visited by Mr. Dumenil and himself. The directors were told that the pure food show was not working out as expected in some places and that' it would not be to the best advantage of the league to back the project at this time. The directors finally voted to aban don the show. The feeling seemed to prevail that it would not be wise for the league to put any great amount of work on a proposition that did not promise to be a complete success, due to the fact that pure food shows were shown not* to be the fine fea tures they were pictured. It was the opinion of the directors that the league would be safer in placing its energies behind a fall celebration or some feature of that character whose worth had been proven before. The directors present yesterday were Jacob Schouten, Emile Renaud, George Baur, J. N~. Dumenil, John Rovane, Sr., G. A. Kiedaisch and also President Justice, Secretary Fulton and Mr. Ingle. It was the intention of the directors to appoint the various committees of the Retailers' league, but it was later decided that the task should be left to President Justice. The directors decided also to appoint a new com mittee of three, the street committee. This body will receive reports of streets that need repairing in any way and will take the matter up with the city commissioners. President Justice will appoint the members of this body along with the other committees. The retailers realize that one of the best advertisements a. city can have Is good streets ffifey-afe willing to do their part towards keeping them in condition. National pay-up week was passed op. An Old Provdrb. tt used to be proverbial that every man (and It is certainly no less true of woman) is either a fool or a phy sician at forty. This means that every intelligent person must learn so much about caring for his own healtn that by the time he is forty years of age he* can almost be reck oneV as a physician. Why, then, is there so much talk by doctors against "self-medicatlon?" A woman can recognize all ordinary ailments without calling on a doctor. If they are aliments distinctive to her sex she generally knows enough to use that greatest of all remedies for such ailments, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable compound, and likewise she is familiar with the standard remedies for other diseases.—Adver tisement.

He has changed his time of leaving for New York from tomorrow noon to tomorrow midnight in order •to have this conference. In the mean time, It is possible the secretary may go over the matter again with Ambas sador Bernstorff though announce ment has not been made of arrange ments for such a meeting. The most important features of the note, according to the stories to whicn the state department is said to ob ject, are those telling that Germany has refrained from mentioning her warnings to United States citizens to stay off the Lusitanla and her modi fication of, her refusal to concede wrong doing on the part of the sub marine commander. Where Danger Lies, "WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.—There is more danger of a war with England than with Germany, Republican Lead er Mann today declared. in a speech In the house announcing he would support preparedness legislation.

"It were well as an emergency we should increase the regular army to 250,000, 300,000 or even a half mil lion we should provide ample coast fortifications and a navy able to de fend us on the seas." Loud applause was given Mann from both democrats and republicans, nearly afl leaders of both parties be in* present to hear his speech.

Carson Tells Iowa City That There is Opportunity for a Line From Keokuk. THROUGH MT. PLEASANT Service of This 8ort Would be Used and Would Tap Good i' Cuntry, It Is Believed. They are building another inter urban—on paper at least—from Keo kuk to Iowa City, passing through Mi. Pleasant and Washington. Robert N. Carson who is president of the Red Bali route, which runs through Keo kuk nas just returned to Iowa '.'iiy from a visit In Mt. Pleasant, and he has been given some of the details of tne plan. The Iowa City Citizen gives the fol lowing story concerning this proposed electric road: Agitation in the vicinity of Mt. Pleasant and Washington regarding better, railroad connections with Iowa City may lead to the laying of plans In those cities for a new interurban line, running from Keokuk, through to Iowa City and forming a direct connection with Waterloo. The following interview regarding the situation was given out here to day by Robert N. Carson: "I have just returned from Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, on a business trip and while there, I found a very strong sentiment among bankers, prominent business men and farmers for an in terurban line between Wasnlngton and Mt. Pleasant, the line to be continued south to tap the big power plant at Keoicuk. "Washington, Iowa, has always been anxious for an interurban be tween their city and Iowa City. "With an electric line from Iowa City to Keokuk, via Washington and Mt. Pleasant, it will be seen threo of the ricnest counties, yes, four of the best counties in this state would be connected with an interurban, viz: Johnson, Washington, Henry and Lee. It would also mean a connection of county seat towns in the various counties. "Mt. Pleasant boosters feel sure the line can be financed between Mt. Pleasant and Washington, a distance of about thirty-two miles. •Should the line, as above, be built, it would mean a continuous eldfctrlc service between Keokuk and Water loo. "The line from Iowa City southward would cross many trunk line steam railroads and afford an excellent op portunity for more prompt passenger and freight service north and south in eastern Iowa. Cheap power could be supplied from the big power plant at Keokuk and sub-stations located at various points along the line. All towns touched by this line would have the opportunity of getting elec tric current for light and power, direct from the big Keokuk power plant. "Such a line would be of immense benefit to Iowa City and the south west has been anxious for some time to get better transportation facilities into Iowa City, and points north."

CONGRESS LEADERS PUT ON STEAM At Kequest of the President, an Effort is Made to Hustle up Proceedings. [United Press Leased Wire Service.] WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—President Wilson's request to congress leaders to "put on steam" and expedite. im portant legislation, bore fruit today. Chairmen spurred up their commit tees and both houses made additions to calendars of pending bills. The senate military committee planned, to close its preparedness hearings shortly and draft a new army bill. The house military com mittee also decided to curtail hear ings. A naval bill, however, is not expected to be presented in either body for at least two months. In the house, leaders renewed preliminary work on revenue questions. Follow ing the supreme court's upholding of the income tax, the ways and means committee men were ready to go for ward with new revenue legislation. Representative Hull, aucnor of the income law, has tentative amend ments drafting to increase the taxes on big incomes from ten to ^fty per cent of these ranging from $20,000 to $500,000. Sentiment also crystalized for cre ating a tariff board, authorised only to co.lect tariff Information and not to make recommendations to con gress. In the senate, final consideration within a few days of the Philippines self-government bill was planned. Passage of the modified Clarke amendment, proposing complete Philippine independence within two or four years until congress can re consider conditions then present, seems likely. In the house today, final action was expected on the Shackelford good roads bill appro priating $25,000,000 annual corporat ing states In good roads building.

Kuever Writes to Local Man of His Success In Experiment Which Was Made at Iowa City. IS USED IN HOSPITAL Prohibitive Price of Drug Makes It Necessary to Find Some Way to 8eeure Required Amount. The manufacture of asperln has been accomplished at the State University of Iowa, college ot pharmacy. R. A. Kuever, pharmaceutical chemist, is the pharmacist who has accomplished this feat. The discovery of the pro cess is something of a feather in the cap of the Iowa school, and there are many graduates hero who will be inter ested to know that George L. Parsons has received a letter from Mr. Kuever telling of the experiment and en closing a sample of the product In his letter Mr. Kuever says: "It is true that I have developed a process by which we are now making our own acetyl sallcyllo acid for the university hospital. "The history of the case is this: We are using annually about 50 pounds of this preparation, and it was next to Impossible for us to get enough in the American mar ket to supply our wants. More over the price (12.50 per pound, was almost prohibitive. So I set about to make It and my results have proven very conclusively that we can save 50 per cent or more on this one organic salt. "However, unfortunately, you cannot use the process for the preparation of acetyl salicylic acid for your store since this prep aration is covered with a patent right held by the Bayer Farben farbrleken and which does not ex pire until March, 1917. AH the acetyl salicylic acid sold in this country in the meantime must be the original asperln. "I have no hesitancy in giving you the process I have developed, but It would at the present time be of no value to you. I am writ ing it into the form of a report to be published in the journal of the American Pharmaceutical associa tion. I have no desire to cover this process with a patent. After the one mentioned above expires the pharmacists may use this one if they choose. Even with asperln at the ordinary price, one may save 35 or 40 per cent." A test was made of the sample en closed by local pharmacists, and they find that the Iowa preparation is as good as the preparation now used.
