from the text: For the kingdom of
God is not meat and drink; but
righteousness. and peace, and Joy in

They were led by Mrs. A. r. Brown.

Deed Property to the church.

Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Benedict, for
merly of this city, but now of San
Jose. CAL, have decided to Phil
Mitchell, J. F. Robinson, E. w. Hurst,

property at 1907 Second avenue, &C.
cupied by c. A. Speidel, to hold in
trust for the First Methodist churches
of Rock Island and San Jose. After
the death of Mr.. and Mrs. Benedict the
property is to be sold and the pro-
ceeds divided between the two

years after the death of Mr.. and Mrs.
Benedict a new $40 900 edifice the

between Davenport and Clinton is not
a part of the scheme pertaining TO the
introduction of the road Ii says:
The Clinton line will give Daven-
port connection with fine trunk line
that has already been mentioned in
connection with the extensive work
being done here. The Illinois Cen
trail will give the city new and valu-
able connections not only with big
east and west lines, but with Illinois
coal fields that ought to be big slim
illus to the manufacturing interests
here. In this connection it may be
added that the Cedar Rapids papers
have not come far from the. mark
when they stated that the Illinois
Central would connect that city with
this. and otherwise would not be
proposing the building of big depot
at the city on the Cedar"

FOOD FOR CHILDREN.

Determined people will generally
accomplish their aim if they persist.
But simple Il willn is not enough.
One must enlist other forces, par
ticularly health. and health is OBJ

Children, especially, should be
given food known to contain the ele-
ments required by the body for it's
proper building and rebuilding. Chill
dren fed on white bread. quantities of
potatoes. candy and pie are sure TO
be ''rickety" and a disappointment
to their parents and themselves.
Children fed on Grape-Nuts and
cream each day are supplied
with food containing all the
food elements nature uses, except
water and oxygen, and children SO fed
are sure to round out into sturdy,
healthy and brainy young men and

exceptional bar arises. The delicate

COUPON.

Well, what did you think of our ad-
vertisment in Mondays ARGUS?
Pretty clever scheme, don't you
think?
Did you clip that coupon?
Judging by the number who pre-
sented coupons in part payment for
the purchase of shoes the idea was
not only clever, but opportune. Pos
sibly some of our patrons overlooked
the announcement in Mondays paper
(Aug. Ply, and for their benefit we
explain just what the advantages of
the coupon are and reprint this much
of the original advertisement. Here's
the plan:
You clip the coupon and come to
our store to buy shoes. Nobby shoes,
swell SHOES. stylish shoes, serviceable
shoes-yes, that's the k nd of shoes
we sell and with each cash purchase
your coupon represents 20 per cent.
No trouble to show shoes. No
trouble to send out shoes on approval.
No trouble to answer questions about
shoes. We're in the shoe business.
Whenever advertise fact and then 90
back on it, and when we said that this
little coupon would only appear once,
that was the whole truth.
: Therefore, if you would profit by
this bit of liberality on our part
look over your Mondays ARGUS and
cut out the coupon.
It's worth money to you. One
fifth the gross amount of any cash
purchase you make at this store prior
TO Sept. l will pay you for the
trouble of looking it up, don't you
think?
For instance: Suppose you buy a
pair of s. shoes, the coupon is worth
20 per cent or one-fifth, in other words
you get the shoes worth regularly 50
for the coupon and 81. Simple plan,
isn't it?
Most anybody will pay cash to save
20 per cent. DO you see where we
grind our Ak?
No charges, no bad account, no
books to buy, no collector TO pay, no
losses-consequence-you make the
saving.
Do you buy your shoes here?
Certainly the above facts coupled
with the statement that our stock en-
braces the newest creations in foot
wear are sufficient to warrant your
most earnest consideration.

RINGLINGS' GREAT CIRCUS
Holding Forth In all Its Glory at Daven-
port Today.

port Today.
All the old-time circus features were
there, and in addition were scores of
new ones.
The pink-clad young men who
leaped over elephants and camels, the
red lemonade, the palm leaf fan and
the peanut boys; the clowns with and
without donkeys, the after concert and
1.-The gentlemanly agents who will now
pass through the audience" the mon
key cages, about which clustered
the Juveniles; the Zebras, the hippota-
mus, the fat woman and the tattooed
woman; the brazen-tongued side show
speiler who kept up ceaseless i'm
ploring howl to come in land see all
the wonderful people;"C the pretty
little lady in fluffy skirts who jumped
over the banners and smiled and
pointed her toes while she rode about
the ring on the back of the white
horse; the ringmaster with the long
whip, the hippodrome, the jockey
riders and the acrobats-they were all
there, just as they have been for gem
erations past.
But there was a difference. They
did things well and there was such Il
lot of them. In some circuses there
are many acts, but few worn and
weary performers do them all, appear
ing one moment in one costume and
the next in another and going through
the acts like men saving wood. But
in Ringlings' circus there seems to be
no doubling up" and every act is
given with freshness and happiness
and vigor that catches the crowd.
IL 4. l.~%
everyone looks for and would sadly
miss if they were cut out are only
part of the big bewildering perform
ance. Mr.. Freeman, the press agent,
asserts there are 1000 people with
the circus. People who saw this
afternoons performance are inclined
to believe he is right. And all the
1 900 seem to be dong som sthing to
help amuse the audience.
People came in farm wagons and
on foot, on horseback, in trains and
on bicycles to attend. The weather
clerk gave clear and delightful sum-
mer day for the show.
There was but one opinion among
all the spectators, and that was that
the parade was the biggest and most
beautiful and well arranged of any
heretofore seen. And the opinion of
those who saw the show was equally
as unanimous and as complimentary.
Nothing was cut from the perform
ance; there was no taking to cover
defects, no tawdry accessories, no
lack of men or women or animals.
Everything was new and complete
and bright and genuine. The spirit
of the whole aggregation was excel
lent. There was no wrangling among
the employees, no abuse of the public,
no ''grafters" or confidence men, no
short changing.
Barnum's old maxim that the Amer
lean public likes to be hum bugged is
thing of the past American civili-
zation has passed that stage. Ring
ling Brothers evidently realize this
and it can truthfully be said that they
give an honest show.
The circus is extraordinarily rich
in musicians and horses. 1t seems to
have 4 separate band for every fea-
ture. One of the bands that made
particular hit with the public on the
street was the mounted one that rode
in the parade 1t was composed of

MEN GET SHORTER.
1t IL Said This Happens When They
Climb TO The Top of High
Mountains.

One of the most remarkable facts
known to all our mountain climbers Is
that the height of man is diminished
to an extraordinary degree by the time
he has reached the summit of q con-
siderable mountain.
So much is this the case that a six
foot man is actually diminished in
height by full inch by the time he
reaches any Of the best known of the
great Alpine SUBMITS, though the
usual diminution. produced in very few
hours, is three-quarters of ar inch.
The extent of this diminishing of
height has caused much discussion for
some time, but doctors generally at
tribute il to the peculiar position most
~ maintained in climbing. One note
worthy feature is that the more heavily
laden the climber may be the greater IL
the diminution.
Although the height of all men grows
less to the extent of three-quarters of
an inch, the diminution varies greatly
in individuals of the same normal
height beyond that extent, and the or.
NAL height is not resumed for some
hours after the climb.
