Tomorrow Night to Dis cuss'Matter. 1 X, U/ Keokuk it In danger of losing her military company. Unlets the citi zens get behind the company and lend their support it may be mustered out st the state encampment. The nation al guard will be put on an efficient basis now under the new federal law. If, Keokuk citizens will support this company, the government may establish another here. The com pany haa no armory the employers of the mjsn, many of them, have not signified a willingness to let the boys go to the encampment. It will be up to the citizens of Keokuk to say whether or not the company will re main. A mass meeting of citizens, called by the mayor, and by the. In dustrial association, will be held at o'clock tomorrow (Thursday) even ing at the superior court rooms, to talk over thlf matter. That there is grave danger that Keokuk will lose Company L, Tirst infantry, Iowa national guard, was explained this morning to a commit tee which met at the Industrial as sociation rooms, toy Sergeant P. C. Larigentoacfo of the Seventeenth U. S. Infantry. Under the new federal law the militia, will be made efficient. The first test will come at the en campment in August. If -the full Quota of the compafiy if not at the camp, and If it does not come up to speci fications, then Company will be mustered out. On the other hand, the sergeant explained that being classified among Che larger cities in the state, Keokuk may be asked for 7m Armory ia Needed. 'Keokuk would need an armory. an* while the state may not" appropriate money for the building, it'is-possible that the government might buy the armories after they are built, espec ially it they find the citizens are anxious and willing ^o help out- in the matter. The present quarters in which Company is {drilling is en tirely inadequate to tte needs of sol diering. It is impossible to drill & full company without »bumoing into posts. In' the summer time the'street can be used, -but for elds eS order drilling, where the discipline lis taught. It takes a keen officer detect mis takes in the uncertalnflight, while in a well lighted armory fthls is easy. "The national guard will be re organized and put onJ an efficient basis," Sergeant sLangenib^ch told the local men who met him today. "'The federal governaront intends to use the militia instead of adding to the regular standing army the suf ficient number of mpnr to make ade quate defense. of course demand efficiency and It is to this end that the re-organization of companies will -be directed. Some 3,500 men will 'be added to Iowa's quota up to 14,000. In the larger cities, Des Moines, Burlington, Wat erloo. Fort Madison, Keokuk and others, a second company will oe asked for in case there is sufficient interest to maintain the company al ready Installed. "The first test of this interest will come at the encampment. The trou ble has toeen in all states that em ployers seem reluctant to allow their men to take time off for encamp ment. If Keokuk's company does not show up to requirements in August, then it will be mustered out." Will Get Paid. Sergeant -Langenbach explained that beginning July 1, the militia man will, gfet 25 per cent of the pay of the regular army man. This applies to officers and privates, an.d is grant ,ed under the termA: of the federal pay bill. The sergeant told "the com mittee that if the business men of Keokuk wouldn't get behind Company and help to keep it here there seemed to be little hope for its stay ing when the new organization is affected. Should the company be lost now, it will toe impossible al most to get bock into the guaird again, without some struggle. A committee consisting of Major D. B. Hamill, EX. L. Williams and E. F. Renaud was appointed to plan for the meeting and to talk to the .busi ness men. The Industrial association will write letters, explaining the sit uation and asking employers of the men to havfe a representative at the meeting tomorrow night. The mayor and commissioners have joined in the call for the meeting, and the citi zens generally are asked to meet to consider this proposition. Powell Resigns. The resignation of Captain C. L. Powell of Company L, was forward ed to headquarters last Friday. It depends on whether the adjutant will accept .this as to what shape the company will be in at this time. If the resignation is accepted, it will be necessary to secure a new com mander for. the local guard. This will complicate an already muddled situ ation and may make it harder for Keokuk to retain her company. At any rata it will be necessary for all citizens to get behind and push, those who want to keep the company, declare.

'Healthgrams' On Skin— ^Flashed to Thousands One of Nature's signals is an unhealthy skin. It is a scientific fact that the skin indicates the condition of the blood and the blood Is the building material for the body and all its •It4l parts. Unless the blood is nourished and kept rich and healthy, It will evenually react on the organs it feeds and reduce the indi vidual to a pitiable condition. Little do people realize the physical ailments that drain away strength and vitality and that can be traced straight to the poor supply of blood. Pimples, Eczema, Salt Rheum, Rheumatism, Carbuncles, Boils, Catarrh with its obnoxious results and the tendency to easily catch cold, Malaria and scores of other equally serious ail ments, are all manifestations of bad blood. For over 50 years 8. S. 8. has been a mighty remedy for these disorders. Thousands of men and women have been relieved or actually cured by 8. S. 8. Many of them had spent years and hundreds of dollars for other remedies in a fruitless endeavor to regain health—a marvel ous tribute to S. S. S. S. S. S. is purely, vegetable and when taken into the stomach is absorbed by the blood, supplying certain ele ments which sTTtnulate the action of the blood corpuscles and help them drive out impurities and build np the system. With such a tried and true medicine awaiting you at the closest drug store, wlH you go on suffering and looking badly when so many others similarly afflicted have turned to 8. S. S. and found the meaning of perfect health. Our Medical Department will gladly advise you about your case without oust to you it you wish to avail yourself of this service.

Boys between the ages of eight and sixteen are eligible, and- they will: be given ten lessons, one each day/ for ten days, free of charge. The idea is to eventually have every boy and man in Keokuk a swim mer, not only because of the pleasure derived from swimming but .also the helpfulness of the sport as a cor rective exercise, as well as the con fidence a knowledge of swimming gives one when the opportunity arises to save a person from drowning.

Eddy Has New Speed Demon for Mississippi Valley Power Boat Regatta. G. G. Eddy of Saginaw, Mich., will enter one of the mo«t remarkable boats ever built, in the Mississippi Valley Power Boat association re gatta at St. Paul July 4, 5 and 6. The craft is a 16-foot hydroplane, built this season, and powered with a 4 cylinder motor, developing 70 horsepower. The motor was built especially for the requirements of this boat and turns 2,000 revolutions per minute. The piston displacement is only 254 cubic inches, so that it will be eligible to enter Class A, in which the limit is 256 cubic inches. In trials conducted at Saginaw, Mr. Eddy declares, a speed of 43 miles an hour has been attained. This is remarkable for a boat of this size and power, and is faster time than haa ever been made in any of the class racing events in the Mississippi val ley in the past. In fact the fastest time in the races of the association at Hannibal last year was 39.2 miles per hour. This was the average speed of the winner. Buffalo in quirer, in the free for all. However, it is not considered this represented her actual capabilities for speed, as there was little competition to make extreme speed necessary. If the Eddy 'boat actually develops 43 miles an hour at St. Paul, where she has been entered. It is likely she will prove one of the 'big surprises of the 1916 racing seasbn. I Mr. Eddy also expects to enter his boat in any other race meets which may be held by the various boat. clubs in the Mississippi valley states during the present season. Doubts Report.

Even If Germans Have Found Substi tute, This Article Has Been Un usually Popular in Ev ery Branch. PAPER AND NECKTIES Even Silk Stockings Had Pulp In Their Make-up—'Dyes Use It Too. •LONDON, June 7.—The claim of the Germans to have substituted wood pulp for cotton in the manu facture of explosives—whether the claim be true of false—calls atten tion to the properties of this won derful product, which has already wrought more than one revolution iu the manufacturing world. Wood pulp Is just what its name implies, and is obtained by disinte grating wood either by a mechanical or a chemical process. The former variety is prepared by grinding It under water. It Is 'inferior In quality, as the fibres are short and the pro duct readily discolors. Under the chemical process the wood is cut up and boiled under pressure with a so lution of caustic soda, sodium sul phide, or, best of all, calcium bi sulphide, and the resulting soft pro duct is pulped, pressed, washed and bleached.

So rapidly, indeed, did paper cheapen from 1857 to 18S5, that the introduction -of I 'r .». f- wood pulp is said, within those years, to have trebled the circulation of England's newspa pers.
