To the coffee drinker. Coffee drinking is a
habit that is universally INDUCED in and al
most as universally injurious. Havevou tried
Grain-O? 1t is almost like coffee but its effects
are just the opposite. Coffee upsets the stom-
ach, ruins the digestion, affects the heart and
disturbs the whole nervous system. Grain-O
tones up the stomach, aids digestion and also
strengthens the nerves. There is nothing but
nourishment in Grain-O. 1t can't be other
wise; l5c and 25c per package.

Description of Building.
As heretofore stated in THE ARGUS,
a ground floor theatre building is pro-
posed. Its dimensions will be 90x150
feet. three stories in height and 'front.'
ing on two streets. 1t will be of St.
Louis pressed brick. Aside from the
theatre proper, there will be four
stores. with suites of offices or flats in
the two stories above. There will be
tn o main entrances, each 80 et in
width. The stage planned will be of
standard size, accom- mmodating any
production that can be given in any
of the metropolitan houses. Thrre
will be every convenience for the
patrons and performers. For the
former there are to be cloak and
dressing rooms for the ladies and
smoking rooms for the gentlemen.
The stage will be so constructed that
it will be available as ball room and
the large fovers will be especially at
tractive as promenades when enter
tainments other than dramatic are
he d. The building will be steam
heated, and will cost, Mr.. Johnston
states. when completed, nearer s75,-
900 than $50, 900.
Mr.. Johnston Yesterday entered into
contract f,r the erection of a theatre
at Muscatine. The Business Mems
association there has guaranteed the
seat sale on conditions similar to
those proposed here. Mr.. Johnston
is also completing a theatre at Fort
Dodge, Iowa.
What VIII be the Name:
Already there have been some in
quiries as to what the new theatre
will be named, the Grand, Imperial,
Thespian and the Rock Island theatre
having been thus far suggested, but
to the end that it may be named ac-
cording 10 the popular sentiment,
THE ARGUS is preparing and will pre-

Submits q Further Endorsement or Bills q
wortham, Which is Approved.
Prior to entering upon the main
subject of the evening the telephone
committee, as epecial order. pre-
sented tue following report, which
was read by its chairman, DR.. e. l..
Eyster:
TO the Rock Island Club, the Rock
Island Retail Merchants and the Mo-
line Retailers association:
with a view of di-pelling the con-
lusion arising because of the simulta-
neous invasion of this field by two
sets of telephone promoters, the uu-
dersigned committee of the Rock ISL
and Club and the Rock Island Retail
ers' association and the Moliue Re-
tailers' association desire to advise
the public that both sets of promoters
presented themselves to this commit
tee for endorsement.
Fairness to the committee and to
the public would demand that havip q
submitted to the committee s arbitra-
ment, the conte- ting parties should be
in honor bound to abide by the COM
mittee's decision. If this universal
rule of fairness were adhered to, there
would be but one set of promoters in
the field. The committee carefully
considered the claims of both sets of
promoters and decided that the record
of Messrs. Bills and Wortham, repre-
sentiug the Union Electric Telephone
& Telegraph company, was so unques-
tionablv straight that the committee
could without hesitation commend
them to the public. These gentlemen
have always adhered to the exact
truth; they have never sold out to the
monopoly; they present a plan of op-
Grafton that the committee approves;
they do not propose over capitaliza-
ton, or watered stock; their expert
ence in building exchanges is greater
than that of any of the contestants;
the rates offered by them are not Sc
low as to offer a suspicion that their
effort is not in good faith.
The way to help p the monopoly is
for the public to split up; the way to
defeat the monopoly is for the public
to stand together in united front. 1t
is hoped that this statement, together
with the fact that the committee s
action was not hasty, but was delib-
erately arrived at after four weary
months of patient investigation, will
serve to dispel the confusion aud lead
to a union of forces.
The names of the undersigned are
at the head of the subscription list
being presented by Messrs. Bills &
Workman and their agents in token of
their confidence in them, and as
guide to all who wish to fight mono
poly with united forces and under
leaders skilled. tried and true.

ANOTHER VIEW
ON EXPANSION

Boston Jan. 20-President +. E. Clarke,
D. Do of the United Society of Christian
EndeaVor has undertaken to set before
the Endeavorers certain principles to be
considered in determining the attitude of
the members of the society as to imperial
ism or national expansion, President
Clarke says:
The great questions involved are not
whether expansion will increase our ex-
ports or imports, not whether it will in
VolVe a great standing army and a vast
navy, not whether it will increase our
national prestige and Importance, not
whether it will involve a strict or liberal
Interpretation of the constitution, not
whether it will involve the shelving of the
Monroe doctrine, but whether or not i'm
perialsm will enable America better to
perform it's mission among the great ma
tlons of the world as civilizing, uplifting
and Christianizing force"
In enlarging upon the matter, Presi-
dent Clarke continues:
"On this subject there is no room for
differences of opinion We should not be
led on by dazzling visions of national
greatness which certain advocates of i'm
perialism would angle before our eyes,
nor should we be scared out of our duty
by the timid fears of some who dare not
attempt great things for God and human
ity The events of the past eight months
have given America a special mission to
the Cubans, the Porto Ricans and the
Filipinos. And now the question is, how
can we best perform it? We cannot if
we would, place ourselves where we We're
a year ago. The boom of DeWey's guns
! in Manila and of SIMPSONS at Santiago
will never cease to echo. We owe a
peculiar duty to at least 10000, 900 people
who a year ago were not under our par
ticular sphere of influence. Can we most
quickly elevate these people and bring
them into the front ranks of the civilized
Christian races by annexing them or by
converting their lands to colonies or can
it best be done by fostering them and
protecting them for little until they are
able to go alone as free and Independent
states? That it seems to me, is the great
question of the day so far as these ma
tiOns are concerned
IF this question is not settled as God
would have it settled, it will be a sorry
day for America. If it is settled right, it
will not only bring untold blessings to
these peoples of the West Indies and the
South seas, but it will bring the dawn of
a new era to the world for it will show
that a strong nation will work, even to
the point of war, not for it's own glory
and ACKNOWLEDGMENT, but for the eleva-
ton and advancement of a weak and
down-trodden people. If this, Americas
aVOWed purpose, proves to be her real
purpose it will be a prouder thing than
ever to be called an American If it
should prove that we have gone to war
and are exploiting these people simply for
our own commercial advantage with little
thought of their interests or advance
ment, we should become as we deserve to
come. Kissing and by-word among the
natiOnS.'

line is built.
Mr.. Corbin's road, the Spokane Falls &

Says Surgeon Daily Who Was
In Cuba.
AN EXPERIENCE AT TAMPA
BOrax and Sal.cylic Acid Used in Pre-
serving Meat--FlieS Would
MT Touch Any of 1t.

! Washington, Jan. 2o.-Major W. H.
! DAILY, chief surgeon with Miles, and whose
field service stretched from Tampa to
Porto Rico, whose report condemning
the beef furnished the expeditionary
forces created a sensation some weeks
ago, made his long awaited appearance
as a witness before the war Investigate
I ing commission today. Daly's report
was the strongest in language of those
submitted by Miles in substantiaton of
his attack on the beef supplies.
| On being sworn, the witness identified
the report submitted as his own. He was
willing, he said, to stand by his report.
1t was wholly voluntary and was not
called out by any request or in obedience
to any circular or letter. At Tampa, on
| shipboard, he had noticed quarter of
| beef hanging free in the sun on ship
board, and he became interested in the
experiment of having fresh slaughtered
beef placed under such moist climatic
conditions to see how long it could stand
! 1t.
Il Observed he said, "that flies, espe-
! cially bull flies, did not affect it, did not
from it very quickly
He had cut off a piece of that beef at
Tampa and cooked it, but it neither
smelled or tasted naturally.
He noticed indications of a chemical
presence in the meat that brought back
recollections Of chemical stuffs he had
used to preserve elk in hunting expedi-
toin in the Rocky Mountains some years
before. All that day and the next he
had an unpleasant taste. In that previ-
GUS hunting expedition he had analyzed
| the chemical preservative and found it to
contain borax and salicylic acids. These
were to be used externally on the elk,
but he had rubbed it into the raw flesh
and also injected it.
Questioned as to these ingredients, he
said boraX was not safe to be used in
connection with food nor for ordinary
medicinal purposes, while salcylic acid
was most nauseous, loathsOme and dis
gushing, almost always destructive of
dipcStion
