Improves The river.

Capt. Walter A. Blair went 10
Peoria with the Verne Swain, which
has been delivered TO her new owner,
Capt Dixon, for use between Peoria
aud Pekin. He had chance to see
the Illinois river for himself and to
hear with his own ears the tales OF
the PeOrians regarding the effect
the how of the Chicago drainage
canal has produced upon it. He had
been told that the water in the muddy
Illinois was just as good as ever. and
better, but he found that the half had
not been told. The Illinois river
shows livelier current past the city,
a clearer color, less mud and garbage
and filth and an improvement all
around. The fish are more numerous
than they have ever been. The enc
mics of the canal declared that the
fish would all be killed as soon as the
sewage of Chicago got a chance at
them. This has not happened. The
fishing is better than it has been and
so are the fish, and every body inter
ested, except the few chronic kickers
who would rather die than be happy
about anything except somebody 5

and the waters of the lake turned into

DON'T NEED REST.
starved Nerves Need Food.

A food that will naturally stimulate
and nourish a man so weak that he
cannot feed himself must have intrin-
sic merit and be worthy the attention
of any person with a weak stomach.
S. ID. HORNE, of Grinnell, Iowa,
writes: by pure food seems 10 me
the true way to get well. After long
time at one of the best equipped sani-
tariums without benefit, l was put I'M
der a famous doctor who said 1 did
not need rest so much as needed rich
pure blood, made from pure food, and
L was put on GrapeNuts.
''At that time had to be lifted
from my bed like a baby. This was
only a few weeks ago. Now l can
walk, read, write, and perform my
little tasks. l have not fully recov-
cred my strength, by any means, but
have made a most wonderful pro-
gress on Grape-Nuts food. 1t leads
me to the knowledge that nervous
prostration is simply nerve starva-
ton. The nerves are Frustrated be-
cause they are starved. A starved
man does not need rest, but he neeis
food.
To be sure the famished nerves
are forced to rest. but rest cannot re-
store them. They can build up on
food alone. With my first meal
Grape-Nuts food l was too weak to
feed myself, but after partaking of
the food. a hopeful spirit. almost
amounting to buoyancy. possessed
me.
Il can account for the speedy effect
Of the food on no other ground than
that it is so easily digested that only
little time and force is required to
prepare it for the blood, whereas or
binary food requires so much force to
digest it that it exhausts what
strength a weak man has and leaves
the food undigested, ready for decom-
position, and changes what should be
good food into a veritable poison
Easy digestion and rapid assimilation
make Grape-Nuts the ideal food for
any one"

KILT|ES MAKE A HIT
Warmly Received BY Two Audi
ences at Harpers The
atre Yesterday.
GIVE A SPLENDID ENTERTAINMENT
Music Dear to the Heart of the
Scot Played With Native
Charm-The Program.

Certainly the "Kilties" from her
majesty's Canadian domains, of the
city of Toronto, have reason to be ex-
tremely pleased with the reception
thev were accorded in Rock Island, as
demonstrated at the two concerts
given by this famous crack military
band at Harper's theatre yesterday
afternoon and evening. At both per-
formances they were greeted with
large audiences, which applauded and
encored from start to finish, and if
the '.Kilties" had not been very long
winded fellows. as becomes her
majesty's boys from the Highlands,
they never could have endured the
stress.
Not in many months has the stage
of the theatre held so picturesque a
gathering as these boys in kits of
dark brown and green tartan, bright
red coats. and the plaid artistically
arranged in graceful folds. They
made fine and soldierly appearance.
AS to the program, it was sched-
uled for II mum bers, but these were
doubled, and in some cases trebled.
so great was the enthusiasm of the
audience. The first numb Der was q
Scotch reel in costume, to the meas
ure of the pipes, and this made de-
cided hit. The dancers knew their
business, and the performance was
decidedly novel. Pipe-Sergeant John
ston did several solos, and is remark
ably light and graceful as a dancer.
He performed the difficult and
graceful Scotch sword dance, and the
Fishers hornpipe, both in costume.
He was billed as the champion High
land dancer of the world" and there
is no reason to dispute his title.
Beaton On Bagpipes.
But the bagPiPes. PIpe-Major Bea-
ton, who worked these instruments,
dear to the heart of the Scot, was evil
IDENTIFY an expert, and there is no ques-
ton about his enjoyment of his part
of the performance. He gave several
selections-at least he was supposed
to. The performer began with what
sounded like sad wall of some Soul
in torture, and this was continued in
a monotone sort of a background
throughout the performance. while
apparently a planning mill next took
udHu III S4IdllhS IuC otuOs-
phere, with certain staccato Interrupt
tions, like falling timber, and all this
time the performer was marching up
and down the stage, until he came to
the home stretch, when he stopped
in the center, and pandemonium was
let loose in a grand finale. And then
the audience demanded more. 1t was
certainly a great ruccess.
1t would be difficult to find better
interpreters of Scotch airs than these
sLme ''Kilties," who are right at home
i this class of music. There was a
male chorus which sung Scotch airs,
and did it magnifcently.
The national HYMNS of America
and England and other countries
were played, the concert concluding
with the singing of God Save the
Queen ~
