As Viewed From Chicago.

Says the Chicago Tribune: Re
ports from the outlying districts in
illinois regarding the vote that the
Modern Woodmen, fraternal organ
ization, is now taking to decide the
question of maintaining a reserve
fund are that the proposition is being
voted down. The plan, as rule. is
not popular, as assessments would be
increased and the reserve fund fail to
improve the financial status of the
risks. The National Union and the
Royal Arcanum, the two most sue
cessful fraternals in the United States,
base their assessments on the age of
the policy holder with fixed increase
in rate yearly. The old line compan-
les are also changing their financial
basis to :! and } per cent and in
creasing rates with a view of improv-
ing their standing meeting CONNER
cial requirements of safe investments
and low interest rates"

WALKED OUT
On Food, After Being Given Up.

Lack of knowledge regarding the
kind of food to give to people, par
ticularlv invalids, frequently causes
knows exactly the kind of food to
give to quickly rebuild the brain and
nerve centers, that knowledge can be
made use of.
A young Chicago woman says:
Other instances of the wonderful
qualities possessed by Grape-Nuts
food are shown in my grandmother
and mothers eases. Grandmother s
entire left side became totally para
lyzed from a ruptured capillary
of the brain. The doctor said it
would be impossible for her to live a
week. She could not take ordinary
food, and we put her on Grape-Nuts
in an effort to do all for her we could.
ITO the astonishment of the doctor
and the delight of all of us, she slowly
rallied and recovered. 1t was pro-
nounced the first case of the kind on
record. The doctor said nothing
could have produced this result bat
food.
I'VE have been led to use Grape
Nuts because of the effect on mother.
She has been troubled with a weak
stomach all her life, and the last few
years has been gradually losing weight
and strength. She has tried every
thing. almost, that has been recon-
mended by good authority, and until
she used Grape-Nuts food, nothing
seemed to do her any good. Since
taking up Grape Nuts she has been
constantly improving until now sheis
free from any of the stomach
troubles. and IS strong and well.

OF TRADES
Tri.city Organization of Print.
ing Crafts to Be
Formed.
PRELIMINARY STEPS ARE TAKEN
Unions Hold a Meeting at Indus
trial Hall.-Congress Does
Not Act.

An alliance of the printing trades
of the tri-cities has practically been
decided upon, the preliminary steps
having been taken at a conference of
the unions at Rock Island Industrial
hall yesterday afternoon.
j. NJ. Farnham, of Moline, and
Louis Siemon, of Rock Island, were
elected temporary chairman and sec
retary, respectively, and committee
consisting of Messrs. Kennedy, Drips
and Caspar appointed to draft con-
stitution and bylaws for submission
to the several unions, each of whom
will have equal voice in the perfect
ing of the organizati ion.
Unions IncIuded.
In the printing line in the tri-cities
there are already unions of the type
settlers, pressmen and book binders,
and aside from these the stereotypers,
engravers, etc, will be eligible. The
purpose of the alliance will be to
bring the tradesmen to a better un-
derstanding of one another's rights

Beautiful Calendar Free.

RELIEF TO PEOPLE.
Revenue Bill Before Congress
Taking Tax Off kilograms,
Checks, Etc.
DOES AWAY WITH ANNOYANCE
Removes Irritation Between Pub
lie and Corporation Off
cials.

The present revenue bill before
congress will take the internal reve-
nue. tax from kilograms, express and
freight receipts and bank checks if
no amendments are make to the law
as it now stands. This will be a great
relief to the public, as the imposition
of these taxes has been more onerous
than any other part of the war tax.
By a technica]ity the corporations,
with single exception, have
been able to force the public to
pay the tax rather than pay it them
selves, as the trainers of the original
law contemplated.
1t has been the cause of much
trouble, as the ordinary citizen sell
dom carries pennies in his pocket,
and when confronted with q demand
for the cent usually has to present a
larger coin and receive a number of
coppers in return.
Large Stock OF Coppers
1t has forced the offices of the eX-
press and telegraph companies to
larry large amount in coppers and
each driver and delivery messenger
has been forced to carry pennies and
stamps to accommodate the patrons.
1t has added greatly to the trouble of
checking back accounts and keeping
the finances between employees ana the
office clear.
In Rock Island the express COM
panies have used on an average 500
worth of 1-cent stamps each month
and the telegraph companies almost
As much. When the tax is removed
it will do away with a great deal of
trouble of petty sort and remove a
source of irritation which has existed
between the public and the officials of
the corporations.
Constant Annoyance.
The real burden of paying one cent
every time an express receipt is is
1ued or telegram sent has not been
great, but the annoyance of being
compelled to deal in copper currency
mas been a matter which the public
has scarcely become accustomed to-,
wen after three years.
A sigh of relief will 90 forth from
all who have express and telegraph
business as we'll as from the clerks,
as soon as the law is effective.
