POPULARITY OF
THE TELEPHONE
Has Passed From the Stage of Luxury
to a Necessity in the Home as
Well as in the Business
House.
•T^j?
IT NOW HAS MANY USES
One Woman [n Speaking of Her Tel-1
ephone Refers to
At Clarinda recently the Iowa Tele
phone changed from an old system to
the latest and best scientific equip
ment and the Clarinda Journal in re
porting the incident, after making de
tailed explanation of how the work IT
was accomplished and the rapidity ofj
the workmen, sermonizes upon "the j"
use of the telephone as follows: !jj
The telephone has long passed th-2
stage when it was a luxury to be en
joyed by the well to do and has be
come a necessity not only to public
institutions and private enterprises but
to the home as well. The telephone
of today is a servant to the city and
the people and a very useful servant
it is. Every public building Is equip
ped with telephones which care al
ways busy taking care of the city's
affairs. We find them in all the de
partments of the town hall, in the Are $
department's headquarters through-1
out the city, in the schools and hos-1
pitals, the police department, and in
the office of the water and light com-1
panies and these public institutions
would be at sea if their telephone con
nections were cut off for an 1
iur.
While the city finds it an absolute
necessity, the average citizen finds it
Just as essential to his welfare. This
Is evidenced by the large number of 11
'phones which have been installed dur
lug the past year in private homes.
A few years ago if we found it nec
essary to call a physician it meant a

and still cannot find time to go for it.
Without a 'phone we have to get alon?
without it. but with one we can call
up and have the goods delivered to us
without losing any time. In case of
rain or bad weather the telephone
proves to be the house-wife's best
friend. One woman in speaking of her
telephone calls it "Her friend on the
wall." Our most distant friends are
always within call and in case of need
can be summoned at a minute's no
tice. As a social aid the telephone is
society's best friend. Every day in
vitations are issued over a 'phone and
arrangements made for these delight
ful informal parties and gatherings.
Without a telephone these informal
affairs would be difficult.

Success and
Health for Men
Health and strength long un
known to the debilitated man
will quickly be felt surging in
rich, red blood through the art
eries and veins, causing life's
greatest ambitions to be more
keenly enjoyed, giving greater
physical energy and brain pow
er, while adding a certain per
sonal magnetism responsible for
success in these days of the
survival of the fittest, and with
out which no man is capable of
winning in the race of life, love
and fortune. It has long been
known that certain vegetable
extracts, oils and vital min
eral elements of nature, proper
ly blended and mixed, may not
only add years to the average
life, but add that which is yet
greater—the ability to succeed
in all undertakings and to en
joy 'all of nature's great ambi
tions through the certain power
of physical-mental magnetism.
Those who lack these qualities
of health and magnetism
will be interested in knowing
that a well-known medical ex
pert and writer on medical
topics gives in a recent article
the secret which enabled him to
obtain fees ranging from $3,000
to $10,000 for treating the suc
cessful men of Wall street
fame and millions. His exact
words are: The treatment is
simple, thorough and correct.
Intelligently and persistently
followed, it results in most won
derful health, strength and. will

ply the main tinctures, extracts
and essences in one ounce bot
tles, ready to mix. Three

The long drawn out Grimsley real
estate case is drawing to a close, for
deeds have been filed wherein Mrs.
Grimsley disposes of her property at
the corner of Seventh and Morgan
streets.
For a number of years the property
has been in the courts of Keokn' and
a dozen law suits have been started
to find out wao is the owner. The
property had been sold for taxes sev
eral times, to different people arid Mrs.
Grimsley still retained possession by
camping out in the house.
Even yesterday? the property was
sold for taxes up at the county treas
urer's office, being bought in by an
other party who had not been mixed
up in the tangle before.
Four deeds have been filed whereby
the property changes hands and tie
