Grain-O Brings Relief

To the coffee drinker. Coffee drink
ing is habit that is universally in

injurious Have you tried Grain-O?
1t is almost like coffee, but the effects
are just the opposite Coffee upsets
the stomach, ruins the digestion, af-
fects the heart and disturbs the whole
nervous system. Grain-O tones up
the stomach, aids digestion and
strengthens the nerves There is

A HINT FOR THE ARSENAL.
An Iowa Paper which Would Make Rock
Island a Great Military Stronghold


Island a Great Military Stronghold.
The Cedar Rapids Republican reply
ing to some comments relative to
comments on the part of the Des
Moines Register with reference to con-
ditions at Rock Island as they affect
the interests of labor, of politics and
other matters, saws: There is only
one policy that we would favor for
Rock Island and that is making it one
of the principal arsenals of the gov
eminent and making it government
stronghold in the fullest sense of the
word. We would also concentrate
there the military post for which the
people of Des Moines are moving
heaven and earth, for Rock Island is
the natural place for such post. The
government already has a considera-
BILE establishment on the island and it
could increase it with the least eN
pense If the Des Moines Register is
so wildly in favor of doing something
for the working men at the arsenal,
it can do nothing better than advo-
cate there the establishment of a mil
itary post which will give employ
ment to many of the laborers there
abouts who are now idle.
Let us concentrate all the state eff
forts on making Rock Island military
stronghold indeed"

THINKS MOLINE Is MEAN
Oliver Twist Terminal Company Greatly
Put Out.

Put Out.
The Terminal company which was
so much put out a few months ago
because Rock Island declined in addi-
ton to all else she had given the COM
pany in valuable franchises, to turn
over the new levee, is now incensed
because Moline has drawn line as to
what should not be accorded the COM
pany until it shows its hand little
more distinctly. And the Davenport
papers, whose croaking may ever be
relied upon to voice the feelings of the
Terminal company, are talking about
| "mean Moline insisting upon block
ing the Terminal company, etc. Pres
ident Schiller and Promoter Blair
Blair were over in Moline one day
this week, and the former expressed
himself peculiarly, and incidentally
gave Rock Island a shot.
What do your people want?" said
he, talking to the Dispatch. do we
look like confidence men, and have we
ever worn stripes? Do we look loony ?
Yes'-he hesitated as he reflected an
Gloomy in one particular in
our attempt to give the people of
town the benefit of the expenditure of
T%OOsOOO " rs III Jul wa ~ ihlo - ~" II
where we're not wanted.
'Started,'' he exclaimed. when the
scribe volunteered the remark that he
understood Mr.. Blair to say that the
company was preparing to push its
work in the, direction of Moline.
WHY, we've been started for three
years and we're still spending money
and ready to spend more if we didn t
ha -
threats attempting to hold us up for
| more-more.
Wed have had this line half built
why. don't they let us work under
our first agreement" he broke in.
mo, they must throttle us, must
make the people suspicious of us.
First it is here, then it is in Rock ISL
and, and now it is reaching out all
over this vicinity that we are rob-
bers."
And the Davenport Democrat chirps
in and wants to know just why the
glad hand over here is not extended
as cordially as it is in Davenport,
suggesting that if 1.-The council over
there would only meet Mr.. Shuler and
Mr.. Blair half way, and give them a
chance to do something for the Plow
City, and by finishing their terminals
get their system and bridge into work
ing order, we'd soon have that eter-
nal question nswered-'Who owns
the bridgeP
And if Rock Island and Meline have
not met the Terminal company more
than half way Davenport has not, nor
has any other community ever ex-
tended the glad hand to a new enter
prise. The facts so far developed in
Rock Island, ut least, show that the
council has gone considerably over
the half way line, and instead of
meeting the glad hand has found one
outstretched continually asking more.
And when the city does not fall over
herself trying to give it she is accused
by the comPany's president of apply
ing the throttle and doing other bad
things.
