there are possibilities in the new measure OF re-

USE GRAPE-NUTS.
SOME HINTS ON FOOD.

A man tried leaving off meat. pota-
toes and coffee for breakfast, and
adopted breakfast of fruit, dish of
ape-Nuts with cream and cup of
Postum Cereal food coffee.
His health began to improve at
once, for the reason that a meat eater
will reach place once in a while
where his system seems to become
clogged and the machinery don't work
smoothly.
A change of this kind puts aside
food of low nutritive value and takes
up food and drink of the highest
value. already partly digested and
capable of being quickly changed into
good, rich blood and strong tissue.
The most valuable feature of both
Grape-Nuts and Postum is the natural
phosphate of potash obtained from
the grains and this product is the
element which transforms albumen in
the body, into the soft gray substance
which fills brain and nerve centers.
A few days use of Grape-Nuts ana
Postum will give one degree of ner-

John Boro and Charles Wetzen Are In

The horse hitched to Cartin Bros.
delivery wagon ran away on Elm
street this morning. One of the occu-
pants, John Boro, was thrown onto
the pavement, receiving painful in
juries, consisting of cuts under the
left eye and in the forehead. a sprain
of the left wrist and bruises in the
right arm and left leg. Alfred Chris
tenson, who was driving, escaped I'M
hurt. Mr.. Boro's injuries were
dressed by DR.. j. De Silva.
A horse driven by Charles Wetzell,
of Moline, ran away on Fifth avenue
yesterday afternoon. The buggy was
destroyed and Wetzell was kicked in

He was attended by DR.. G Z. Barth.

good roads convention and harvest
home festival. He was chairman of
the decoration committee. He could
be seen out in the streets from early
morning until late at night, and when
he could not be found along the streets
after shutdown, inquiry would bring
the answer that he had gone into the
country with a wagon to haul in some
country produce to help out in the
decorations.
Not only in this recent affair has he
been conspicuous. but there hasn't
been anything tackled where holiday
adornment was demanded in the past
several years where the artistic genius
and willing hand of Mr.. Young failed
of manifestation.
An Ohioan BY Birth.
Rock Island since 1876. He is ma
years of age. His first position after
locating here was as clerk in
the Mill store. He worked there five
years and then elm barked in a grocery
on Third avenue. 1t was always his
desire to become more prominently
identified with the business interests
of the community, and he saw his
opportunity eight years afterward,
opening the Columbia dry goods and
notions establishment on Second ave-
nue., an enterprise that proved to be
but the beginning of his business
career. MIR. Young, who is senior
mem Der of the department store firm
of Young & McCombs, which was
launched few years ago, is now
half owner in one of the largest es-
Establishments of it's kind in the west.

NOTHING BUT FACTS.
No Deception Used in Talking
About MorroW's Kid
ne.Oids.
The Arguments In Their Favor Come From
People Who Have Tested Their
Merits.

There is no deception in anything
we publish about Morrow's Kid-ne-
oids. All our statements are facts,
and are from people right here in
Rock Island. People in all walks of
life are using and recommending Kid
ne-oids because they cure backache,
nervousness, sleeplessness and general
debility in cases where other remedies
have failed.
Mrs. Brown, 221I Fourth avenue,
this city, says: Il have been suffer
ing for the past II years, and have
tried every remedy and preparation L
ever heard of to stop my suffering,
but was never successful. Kidney
complaint is a difficult malady to
master, as everyone suffering from it
will tell you; most of them have con-
slant pain. sometimes very severe.
and sometimes almost free from it, but
it never leaves one entirely. l had Sc
we're catches or a stitch in the back;
these stitches render one almost help
less for the time being. L procured
some Kid-ne-oids at NJ. F. Bahnsen's
drag store, and they helped me within
a week, even at my age and the years
l have had it,
Mrs. Browns daughter SAYS:
Nothing mother ever took gave her
such quick and permanent relief, and
we are glad to recommend Kid-ne-oids
to Others
Kid-ne-oids are put up in wooden
boxes which contain enough for about
two weeks treatment and sell at so
cents a box at NJ. F. Bahnsen's drug
store.

The coroner's jury, which was
called on account of the Oxford rail
road wreck Tuesday night, has not as
vet concluded its labors. 1t is
claimed that the jury desired to pro-
cure Dispatcher John K. Jones, OF
Des Moines, who was on duty at the
time the wreck occurred, but that he
cannot be located. So far as it is
known, it seems that the dispatcher
gave the eastbound meat train. En-
gineer Quinn and Conductor Brien,
as far east as Iowa City, regardless
of all second-class trains. The extra
west, Conductor Rohweder and En-
gineer Dunn. was going to Oxford TO
meet No. 6 passenger, eastbound, Oh
her schedule time, and the extra east
was trying to make Tiffin to meet the
passenger west, No 25 on her sched-
ule time, and that the two freight
trains had no knowledge whatever of
each other. 1t is estimated that the
wreck will cost the company about
$25, 600 on merchandise, not to men
ton the claims which will result from
the deaths of Engineer Quinn and
Fireman Poison.

GALESBURG'S BIG CARNIVAL

Very Interesting Program of Entertain
ments-President Mckinley Expected.
The Burlington Route will make
