MRS. DIVERSIONS DEATH.
Coroner's Jury Finds Ii is Caused by
Apoplexy.

Coroner's Jury Finds 1t Is Caused by
Apopiexy.
Mention was made in last night s
ARGUS of the sudden death of Mrs.
Minnie Oliverson. Upon taking
charge of the body Coroner Eckhart
impanelled a jury composed of j. X.
Brandenburg. foreman; c. H. Writ,
F. A. Andrews, George Heider, b. F.
Knox and John Bruner. The verdict
was that the woman's death was
caused by an apoplectic attack.
When the coroner reached the
apartments he found the body lying
in n bed in gloomy and poorly fur
nished room in the rear of the second
floor of what was formerly the Cor
don hotel, on Market square. A
pretty faced. golden-haired 7-year-
old child. Olive, the dead woman s
daughter, dreamily viewed the pro-
ceedings. The husband, Oliver Oil
version. had Just arrived from Daven-
port. accompanied by c. H. Murphy,
an attorney, whose aid he had sought
that his wife might be given re-
spectacle burial, as Oliverson was
penniless.
Diversion for years worked at De
kal5. With his little family he went
to Davenport and invested his savings
in the saloon business, but the ven
ture did not turn out to be as profit
able as he hoped, for when he retired
he was without enough money to rent
a home for his family. Davenport
friends helped him pay months rent
for two rooms on Market square, this
city, where the family has been living
since April A.
The funeral was held from Knox's
undertaking rooms at 2o'clock this
afternoon.

MAKING BRAINS
Is Now an Accomplished Fact--An
Art of the Food Maker.
NEW AND STURDY BRAINS TO
ORDER.

There certainly is money to be made
and every day in good-sized quantities
in this busy world.
But the opportunities are seen and
the work done by men with good
brains.
1t is brains and not so much muscle
that gets man to the front. Now
then for a conclusion.
You use your thinking machinery
every day and ''break down" slight
portions of it. CA thoroughly natural
process.)
We know from analysis Just what
it is that leaves the brain under press
of work, and that little element should
be replaced each day from food. Often
the food does not supply it as rapidly
as the daily work uses it. Then we
have brain fag, nervous prostration,
etc. Would you goad the tired and
underfed OK with a stimulant to force
it to desperate and unatural exertion to
be followed by total collapse?
Call in your common sense. When
you find this condition exists select a
food heavy in Natures Phosphate of
Potash and Albumen, that combine
to make and rebuild the gray matter of
the brain, these are nottlrugs, but the
delicate preparations nature stores in
parts of her cereals and intends for
mans use.
A food expert has dug out these
facts, and when one uses Grape-N Nuts,
the most skillfully made food now in
existence, he or she takes advantage
of the knowledge and certainly can and
does rebuild brain in a manner that is
unmistakable and most satisfactory.
If you have use for active planning
and successful money-making brains,
build them and nourish them with the
delicious food Grape-Nuts.

The ancients believed that rheuma.

The aucients believed that rheuma-
tism was the work of a demon within
a man. Any one who has had an at
tack of sciatic or iniiammatory rheu-
matism will agree that the infliction
is demoniac enough to warrant the
belief. 1t has never been claimed
that Cham berlain's Pain Balm would
cast out demons, but it will cure
rheumatism, and hundreds bear testi-
mony to the truth of this statement

First of the National Guards to Go to

Adlt.-Gen. j. n. Reece has written
letters to the colonies of the several
regiments in the Illinois National
Guard telling them that the annual
encampment will be by regiments
this year. The first of the regiments
will 20 to Camp Lincoln July 4, and
he asks each commander to name a

him and his men to be there. 1t is
expected the official schedule will be
announced within week or two.
The 9th regiment is to have new
band. In letter to John Prestin,
leader of the keystone band of Ster-
ling, which was the last regimental
band. Col. Foster says that as the
band has had that position once and
given it up, it is against military
rules to give it that position again.
This also bars the Moline band. Col.
Foster says that the honor now lies
between the Morrison and Dixon bands.
The chances are understood to favor
the Dixon band. Mr.. Prestin still re-
tains his place as chief musician with
the rank of second lieutenant.

Precautions at Davenport.

Davenport has established strict
quarantine against LeClaire. Mayor
Baker, in his proclamation. says;
.'All boats and other carriers of bag
gage, freight and passengers are
hereby forbidden, under penalty of
the law, from bringing into the city
from LeClaire any person, baggage or
freight or of any articles of any kind
or description which might, if in
fected, spread smallpox among the
inhabitants of this city,"
Mayor Vessel. of Moline, member
of the Illinois state board of health,
does not believe that there is any
need of quarantine against LeClaire,
and so none has been established in
that town. Moline has little, if any,
communication with LeClaire, though
she has a good deal with Port Byron,

The folly of any argument that the
fact that the Diamond 10 boats are
giving Rock Island the go-by should
cut any figure in the matter of the
location of the surveyor of the port
here, is shown in the fact that not one
of the boats of that company is en-
tered in this port.

1t is quite natural to turn from

baby when mothers milk gives out.
Good cows milk has reared many
healthy children; on the other hand,
there are many babies that cannot

the moment the milk strikes the stom-
ach, the particles are separated by the
action of the gastric juices, into curds
and whey, the curds forming into 4

1t is we'll understood that if cows
milk could he used successfully, it is
at once the most convenient and nour-
ishing form of food. Discovery has
been made of the fact that mothers
milk contains several of the same
elements that are found in wheat and
barley. and this knowledge has been
made use of by the Postum Cereal Co.,
Ltd, at Battle Greek, Mich. in the
manufacture of baby food that is

This when mixed with cows milk.
prevents the formation of curds in the
