I walked through the woodland mead owe, "Where sweet the thrushes sing And I found on a bed' of mosses A bird with a broken wing. I heale'd its wound, and each morning It sang its old sweet strain, But the bird with a broken pinion Never soared as high again. I found a young life broken By sin's seductive art And touched" with a Christlike pity, I took him to my heart. He lived with a noble purpose And struggled not in vain But the life that sin had stricken Never soared as high again. But the bird, with th© broken pinion Kept another from the snare Antf the life that sin had stricken. Raised another from despair. Bach loss has its compensation, There is healing for every pain But the bird with a broken pinion Never soars as high again. —Hezekiah Butterworth. The prince of Wales has gone to the front.

The Gate City cordially invitas the ladies of Keokuk to attend The Gate City Home Economics school to be conducted by Miss Florence M. Peet in the Masonic temple banquet room, commencing next Monday afternoon. Miss Peet is anxious to meet the la dies of Keokuk and give scientific in struction in cookery. Admission Is free and no goods of any description will be offered for sale. This is a complimentary domestic science event to the ladles of Keokuk. AMERICA PRAYS FOR PEACE. For a thousand years after Attila the Scourge of God" had wiped the ancient Roman empire from the map of the earth, man reverted to the bar barism of the cave dweller, and war, pestilen-ce and famine devastated the nations, even from the pillars of Her cules to the Indus, from the North sea to the Mediterranean, and beyond, says the Ixs Angeles Times. This period Is well describe® in his tory as the Dark Ages. No poet up lifted mankind with his songs during these centuries. No orator entranced multitudes with his voice. No artist illumined canvas with his creations. No sculptor breathed life into marble. The spiritual and intellectual life of men seemed dead, and the devil reign ed snpreme in the hearts and con sciences of the human race. For centuries the people of conti nental Europe devoted their energies in the direction of devastating each other's fields, burning each other's towns, robbing each other and hack ing each other to pieces. Religion— both Catholic and protestaijt—gradu ally ameliorated theae conditions and in the fourteenth century the Dark Agies came to an end. And now, coincident with the great American achievement of rifting a passage for deep-set ships between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, Europe suddenly and unexpectedly harks back to the civilization, or rather the non-civilization, of the Dark Ages. Attila, with his hordes sextupled In volume and with machine guns and torpedoes and dynamite batteries and submarine destroyers and death-deal ing airships, revisits Europe. The teachings of the Savior of mankind are repudiated. Six millions of men are arrayed against each other along a battle line of hundreds of miles, en gaged in manufacturing hundreds of thousands of widows and orphans each week, at an annual expense of about $fi,000,000,000, th© principal and Inter est of which must be wrung from the toll of 200,000,000 people—if so many shall be left alive when the conflict ceases. You can wash your clothes clean without boiling and rubbing the life out of them. Just soak them in suds of Beach's Peosta Soap dirt will start easily. A very little rubbing the next morning will finish your washing—and you will have saved yourself much time and trouble. Once tried, it's always used Ask Your Grocer Every workman In France and Ger- )\lt th* Dirt How Thin People yj Can Put On Flesh A New Discovery. Thin men and women—that big, hearty, filling dinner you ate last night. What became of all the fat producing nourishment it contained You haven't gained in weight one ounce. That food passed from your body like unburned coal through an open grate. The material was there, but your food doesn't work and stick, and the plain truth is you hardly get enough nourishment from your meals to pay for the cost of cooking. This is true of thin folks the world over. Your nutritive organs, your functions of assimilation, are sadly out of gear and need reconstruction. Cut out the foolish foods and funny sawdust diets. Omit the flesh cream rub-ons. Cut out everything but the meals you are eating now and eat with every one of those a single Sar gol tablet. In two weeks note the dif ference. Five to eight good solid pounds vof healthy, "stay there" fat should be the net result. Sargol charges your weak, stagnant Wood with millions of fresh, new red blood corpuscles—gives the blood the car rying power to deliver every ounce of fat-making material In your food to every part of your body. Sargol too, mixes with your food and pre pares it for the blood in easily as similated form. Thin people gain all the way from 10 to 25 pounds a month while taking Sargol, and the new flesh stays put. Sargol tablets are a scientific combination of six of the «best flesh-producing elements known to chemistry. They come 40 tablets to a package, are pleasant, harmless and inexpensive, and Wil kinson & Co., and all other druggists in Keokuk and vicinity sell them sub ject to an absolute guarantee of weight increase or money back. many, says Mr. Birmingham, will stag ger to his daily toil at the plow or the forge or in the factory with a soldier on his baok that from his labor must be fed, clothed, paid and eventually pensioned. It is a carious fact that peace and prosperity and advancing civilization increases the stature of men, and war and barbarism shrinks them. After the Napoleonic wars there was a per ceptible decline in stature of about two inches in the French people, from which they have not to this tfciy fully recovered. A year or two or even a less time of war pursued with the vigor and re lentlessneBs that has marked the last three months will relapse Europe Into an age as dark as that from which it emerged five centuries a«o. Can the statesmanship of the age and the teachings of history suggest to kaiser and emperor ana king and cssr and president and sultan no bet ter method of adjusting their differ ences than to continue gigantic de struction of the lives and property of Germans and Anstrlans and Russians and Belgians and Frenchmen and Britons? Have we no duty to perform to the warring nation#? Should we not again and yet again tender our good offices to Germany and Austria and England and France *°d Russia to stop their awful conflict, which, if continued,! must ultimately return Europe to the barbarism of the Dark Apes? Every one of the warring powers concedes that we have preserved a strict neutrality, not merely in gov ernmental action, but In the expres sion of individual opinion. There Is no advantage that a continuation of the war can bring us in increased prices &>r food and increased oppor tunities for manufacturing activity and increase of our mercantile ma rine that will measure against the sorrow that our people feel at tbe aw ful desolation with which the country beyond the seas is visited. Europe's calamity is not regarded by any right thinking man or woman as America's opportunity. On the contrary, we long tor the hour when— "The war drum throbs no longer. Ana the battle flags are furled In the Parliament of man— The Federation of the world." GAS-ELECTRIC CAfiS. The Illinois Central railroad com pany has ordered four of the new type gas-electric cars which will be placed In commission for supplement ary service on some of its connecting lines. The St. Louts Southwestern railway has just installed the first lot of eight gas-electric cars for Its short line service. The Spokane, Portland and Seattle railway will place one of these cars in operation between Portr. land and Rainier, Oregon. All of the cars were made by the Genera! Elec tric company of Sohnectady. New York. A large number of the new gas electric motor cars are now in opera tion throughout the western and mto die-western states. They are espe cially valuable and economical for short line service on branch roads, or feeder lines where traffic is light and there are many short stopa. For a Greater iowa.

New recipes tested and tried, and found to be thoroughly accurate, are to be demonstrated at Ma sonic Temple by Florence M. Peet, the expert domes tic scientist and cook, who has been secured by The Gate City to eonduct a series of home economics and cookery lessons for the ladies of Keokuk. Miss Peet has studied the cookery question from A to Z, and never makes any failures along this line. When she attempts to make a good cake she accomplishes it, and she says there is no reason why this should not be the ience of every cake baker. She has originated many fine recipes which do not call for expensive ingredients, and which the good cooks of Keokuk will delight in trying. She will give. away a leaflet containing a number of these recipes to every woman who attends The Gate City Home Economics School in Masonic temple next week. She will, in her cookery lessons, explain every step to be taken in the following of these recipes and show how success may be achieved, not now and then, bnt al ways. She will allow the members The result establishes that a new spirit exists in Iowa. The time when a man can make votes by talking "economy'* is gone by. The people of Iowa are for a greater Iowa.
