IS NOT To SHUT DOWN
Funds to Keep Rock Island Arse
nal Going After First of
the Year Available.
HAPPY CHRISTMAS ANNOUNCEMENT

Mai. Blunt Receives Assurances That tine
Matter of Essential Appropriations Has
Been Provided For-The Action Taken
at Neutrality-suspicious. OF Wages
in the Cleaning Department and Eject.
1t was a happy Christmas greeting
that Maj. Stanhope Z. Blunt extended
to the men employed at Rock Island
arsenal as he went among the shops
Just before the close of the day Sat
urday. The message which the COM
mandant bore to the employees was to
the effect that he had received advices
from Washington that there would be
no occasion for a shut down after the
first of the wear. Thus with uncer-
tainity removed with reference to the
possible loss of time during the
month of january, the men felt that
they could enter upon the holiday
with one more, cause for contentment.
Under the appropriation for tile oper
alton of the arsenal all of the money
had to be expended by the last of De-
cember or it would not be available.
A sufficient amount was appropriated,
but it was impossible to expend it.
owing to the limitation I! - II upon
the act making the approprl-,4on. OF
the money appropriated there was II
large unexpended balance which it
was impossible to use before the close
of the year, but this could not be
used after Dec. 81 for any purpose
unless congress should take action
that would remove the limitation, or
Inappropriate money for the opera
ton of the arsenal. Congressman
Cannon, of Illinois, chairman of the
committee on appropriations, took
this matter up before the session of
congress and called his committee to-
gether for the purpose of seeing to it
that provisions were made. Not only
did the oversight apply to the ord
nance department, but to the whole
army, and it was an urgent necessity
that action was taken. The full sit
uation was brought to his attention,
and when the report of the commit
tee was finally presented and adopted,
provision was made for the arsenals.
1t was the information that the funds
had been made available that was re-
ceived by Maj. Blunt.
Cleaners Wages.
Apropos of the adjustment of wages
in the cleaning department of shop
c, the Davenport Leader states;
This cut was eminently fair and
there is practically no dissatisfaction.
The work was piece work and it was
found that after the men had become
proficient in the work they were able
to do a great deal of it. Some of
them earned as high as 50 on the day
previous to that on which the cut
went into effect, and the wages ranged
on that day between So and SO. I'm
der the new scale the men are enabled
to make good wages, and they average
about SIS a day. 1t is not a class of
work that would be termed skilled by
any means, as it is nothing more nor
less than polishing brass. The men
who have the hardest work to earn a
good salary are those employed in
cleaning brides. There are so many
brass buckles and rosetts upon them
that it takes longer to do the work,
and even of these the wages range be-
tween $3.50 and 81. according to the
proficiency of the men doing the
work. :"

she was murdered by her husband,
who is now under arrest at Fort
Wayne for arson Jacobs left here
several months ago, his wife having
disappeared short while previously.
The police say she ran away with an

opinion that Jacobs killed his wife
and threw her body in the river. The
police here take no stock in his theory.

FILTERED BLOOD.
Morrow's Method of Curing Diseases
Accusing the Interest of Scientists.
And Use as Directed.

mOrrOW'S metnOU OF DlSo@oO~
Accusing the Interest of Scientists.
Physicians of all schools are beginning
to realize that the primary cause OF near
ly every disease that attacks the human
system is the failure of the kidneys 10
perform the duties nature assigned them.
The bloodis constantly absorbing from
the different articles of food taken into
the stomach, various impurities, which II
permitted to course through the system,
quickly render the blood unfit to carry ON
the process of healthy nutrition and uIt1-
mately result in the development OF dis
ease.
1t is the duty of the kidneys to filter the
blood; the slightest irregularity in the
performanceof this function is Immediate
fy manifested in a general weaking OF the
body: tendency to give out with little
exertion. The symptom is closely follow
ed by others of much more distressing ma
ture which it is often customary to attn
butte to other causes.
John Morrow, an eminent chemist of
Springfield, Ohio, using as basis for his
work the theory that the kidneys are re-
sponsible for the condition of our health,
has produced a new remedy which he has
named Morrow's Kidneoids, the purpose
of which is to act directly on. the kidneys
eliminating all unnatural deposits ana
rectifying the damage caused by their
existence.
The remarkable results obtained by this
medicine have attracted wide attention
and established new method of treating
disease, the efficacy of which cannot be
disputed.
Morrow's Kidneoids are prepared in yell
low tablets so small as to almost rob them
of their virtue in the eyes of those not
versed in medicine, but so potent is their
influence that their effects are noticed al
most Immediately.
They are now on sale generally. If not
to be had of your dealer they will be sent
postpaid on receipt of 80 cents per box,
