The shrinkaee Of Old Ace.

Every one is familiar with the shrunken
look OF the aged-the wrinkled face, the
lank lie s and the bowed FORM The shrink
age, of which these are but the outward
signs, affects the entire muscular system.
Hence the changed tone of the voice and
the wea kened action of all the bodily organs
No old man is equal to the muscular effort
OF his earlier years. and those who refuse
to recognize this fact are sure TO do them
selves harm.
But other tissues as well as the muscular
undergo shrinkage. Thus the cartilaginous
cushion between the joints of the spine con-
tracts and at the same time becomes more
calcareous and unyielding. The result is
thatthe spine loses its suppleness and elias
ITCHY, and is more liable to harm from con-
cussion. The person also becomes appreci-
ably shorter.
The bones undergo a similar change and
not only fracture more readily, but are less
easily healed. Old persons need to be
specially on their guard against falling so
as to bret the thigh bone, as the point of
fracture Is almost sure to be at the narrow
neck, where the tendency to heal is least.
When the teeth are lost by age the shrink
age of the jaw narrows the canals through
which important nerves pass, thus pressing
and irrita ing the nerves and giving rise to
almost inCurable neuralgia
The nerves themselves are subject to the
same shrinkage, SO that in old age there is
a leSsening of nervous sensibilitv IL fol-
lows that nearing, sight, taste and appetite
lose somewhat of their keenness.

AQaarte slxe.

With this issue of the DAILY ARsus
the old style folio is discarded for the
guarto form. The daily issue of the AR
GUS has always been printed as folio
and 1t is with some reluctance that we
make the change. Since 1882, when the
paper was issued in six column form,
succeeding sizes have been adopted as
the volume of advertising patronage in,
creased, until it reached the limit of folio
design-a nine column sheet. This form
was originally adopted during the pres.
sure OF holiday advertising. and 1t was
not until it became apparent that it
would have to be continued indefinitely
that the more convenient quarto size sug-
gested itself
The change, we think. will be benef,
cial in more ways than one. Although re-
curing more work in its mechanical con-
struction, the advantages to the adver-
tiser and reader are apparent. The wide>
awake and progr .ssive business man of
today is always liberal advertiser, but
he generally wants special positions.
This he cannot always secure in folio
paper. as preferred space is naturally, of
course, limited to the number of pages
printed. For this reason the ARGUS has
frequently been compelled to forfeit pat
ronsge of no inconsiderable amount. The
new size, however, and increased space,
will be sufficient to accommodate the
most exacting, and we trust in the future
there will be no occasion for complaint o {
this character.
Although more in number, it will be
the endeavor and aim to make the columns
or the ARGUS more newsy and attractive
than ever before. We are not in sensible
TO the fact that the Rock Island of today
Is far ahead of the Rock
Island of few short years ago.
There is more push. more energy, more
enterprise. The city has an air of pros
perity that argurs we'll for it's future great
ness. Capitalists, not only local, but
foreign, are showing their confidence in
Rock Islands stability by investing their
money in various enterprises The AR
GUS. under its present ownership at least,
has never faltered in its endeavor to make
Rock Island what its natural advantages
suggest-one of the largest cities in ives
tern Illinois. And it is certainly gratifY-
ing to know, that from whatever causes, the
city is msAIng rapid strides in the desired
direction. The manifold improvements
of public and permanent nature al
ready inaugurated and those in contem>
plstIon are a sure index that Rock Island
is not re,rogradiug nor standing still, but
on the contrary that she is progressing
and multiplying; and the ARGUS proposes
to keep up with the procession, no mat
ter how rapidly it moves

Disorders Which Affect the Kidneys

Are among the most formidable known. Dis
betes, Bright's disease, gravel and other COM
plants of the urinary organs not ordinarily
cured in severe cases, but they may be sverted
by timely medication. useful stimulant OF the
urinary glands has ever been found in Hostetter's
Stomsch Bitters medicine which not only af-
fords the requisite stimulus when they become
inactive, but increases their vigor and secretive
power. BY increasing the activity of the kidneys
and bladder, this medicine has the additional eff
feet of expelling from the blood impurities which
it is the peculiar Office OF those organs TO elimi-
nate and pass of. The Bitters is also a purifier

A Word OF Warning.

A timely note of warning is given by
the PbiladelPhia Times. 1t says that cit
would be well for the people of this
country, and especially those Of them
who still support the policy of the repub-
can party, to pause and consider what is
to become of our free institutions if the
theory that might gives right is to con-
tinue to prevail. The spectacle recently
presented in New Hampshire. where the
defeated party has taken possession of
the government of the state by fragrant
usurpation of political power, is an ap-
plica'ion of the same policy embodied in
Speaker Reeds control of the house of
representatives and in the federal election
bill that was approved by Caucus
resolution at Harrisburg the other day.
1t was the same policy that stole two
United States senator's from Montana and
has led to the present scandal of a double
organic ton of the assembly in that
state and threats of revolution
oily oSstou III tutCc VI lOuT Otner
states in the west. 1t has come
to be almost an accepted fact tina. it Is not
the votes of people but the degree of dar.
ing OF those in power that determine the
result OF an election. The people of
New Hampshire elected majority of de-
mocratic representatives; the clerk of the
house deliberately nullifies the election
by making up the roll upon purely ar
bitrary basis, excluding democrats un-
guestionably elected and adding republi.
cans elected only conditionally, if at all,
in such manner as to give the republi-
cans majority. And partisans will
appl iud this revolutionary sharp practice
without stopping to consider that such
action is destructive of all constitutional
security. If people know that they are
living under car or a dictator or a
revolutionary committee, in the South
American style, they can arrange their
affairs accordingly; but if they expect and
agree to live under q govern ment of law
they must insist upon maintaining the law
they cannot expect to maintain their gov

is caused by an inhamed condition of the

When this tube gets indamed you have q
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when it is entirely closed. deafness is the
result. and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
