SHE PREFERS DEATH
Mrs. Lawbaugh Refuses Vaccina-
ton and Expires I'm
st. Louis.

Because she and other members of
her family had vowed they would
never submit to vaccination Mrs.
George w. Lawbaugh. of Geneseo,
lost her life.
Il will die before | will submit to
being vaccinated," she exclaimed
when DIR. Noerster at the St. Louis
city dispensary told her she must be
vaccinated before she could be re-
ceived into the city hospital.
Then, madam" he replied, you
cannot enter the hospital. That is Il
rule which cannot be violated"
The woman, who was very i'll, firm
in her determination, returned to her
husbands gasoline launch. in which
she had gone to st. Louis from Rock
Island, on their way to Tennessee.
She grew rapidly worse and died ear
ly Thursday morning.
Two years ago her son. B. G.. Law
baugh, died of an ailment resulting
from vaccination.
George w. Lawbaugh disposed of
all his property in Geneseo and built
n gasoline launch. He shipped the
launch to the Mississippi river and
about two weeks ago started down
the river for the south. intending to
sell his books upon vaccination on
the trip.
Mr.. Lawbaugh and family spent
most of the fall in Rock Island pre-
pairing his launch for the trip south.

CUTS HIS THROAT
Enos James Severely Wounds
George Gilmore in a
Quarrel.
THE TROUBLE OCCURS AT MILAN
Victim Had Attempted TO Collect a
BiII-AssaiIant Ar
rested.

George Gilmore, the 19-year-old son
of j. III. Gilmore. of Milan, is serious
ly wounded as the result of an en-
counter with Enos James Saturday
night. One side of his throat was
laid open from the ear to the wind
pipe, the latter being barred, and the
iugular vein barely missed being
severed. DIR. Wiggins took ten stitch
es to close the wound. and the young
man will recover. james is i'm the
hands of the law.
1t appears that James owes a sum
of money at Gilmore'S store and
when young Gilmore met him on the
street Saturday night the two be-
came involved in an alteration over
the indebtedness. James usually
submits to Il good deal of bantering
and Gilmore was wholly unPrepared
for an assault.
Thought it Fun.
When James made pass at him he
thought il was all in fun till the
wound had been inflicted. James
says he used n nail that happened to
be in his pocket, but his story is not
believed. although no knife was
found on his person when he was
searched.

GAS AND TROUBLE
Comes From white Bread.

While it is true that we build up
the body from food, il is also true
that different kinds of food have diff
ferent results.
For instance, it is absolutely i'm
possible to live on bread alone, for
it contains almost nothing but starch
and an excess of white bread pro-
duces gas and trouble in the intes-
tines, while, at the same time, the
other elements required by the body
for building up brain and nerve cen
ters, as well as muscular tissue, have
been left out of the white bread, and
we see from experience the one try
ing to live on white bread alone grad
ually fails in mental and nervous
power as well as loss in muscle.
Such diet could not be kept up
long without fatal results. 4 lady
in Jacksonville, Fla, was crippled by
an accident two years ago. Being
without the power of exercise, an old
stomach trouble that was hers for
years became worse, and it was
serious question regarding food that
she could digest.
y physician put her on Grape-Nuts
Breakfast Food with some remark
able results. She says now that, not
only is she able to do a big days
work, because of the strength of her
brain and nerves, but that she has
finally thrown away her crutches be-
cause the muscles of her limbs have
gradually grown stronger since she
began the use of Grape-Nuts. and
now she is practically well and can
go about without trouble, notwith-
standing the fact that il was said she
would never be able to walk again.
So much for eating the right kind of
food instead of remaining an invalid
and cripple because of the lack of
knowledge of the kind of food to use
10 bring one back to health. Name

CHILD's STUDY HOURS
DISCUSSED BY MOTHERS CLUB

At the regular meeting of the
Mothers club at Lincoln building
Tuesday afternoon, the subject dis
cussed was, SHOULD Our Children in
the Grades be Obliged to Study Out
of School Hours?' Mrs. Williams
spoke upon the subject to the effect
that she thought the work should be
so planned that no time out of
school hours need be given to study,
claiming that the remaining hours
of the day should be spent in play
and the development of the physical
powers.
The discussion was led by Miss Ella
Freed, who spoke from the teachers
standpoint. She said that theoret-
ically the child should not study out
of school. but practically he had to.
This brought the question, why does
he have TO do so, which was general
ly discussed. If, as some think, too
much work is to be done in a given
time, the educators are at fault.
But. if. on the other hand, as seems
plausible, the majority of children
have not learned to apply themselves
closely during the hours allotted for
study, the time lost must be re-
claimed somewhere. And to rene
dy this defect in the child, parents
must give assistance to the teacher.
The next regular meeting of the
Mothers club will be held on the
evening of the second Tuesday in
january and will be an open meet
ing. The subject, Manual Training
and the Dignity of Labor" will be
discussed by j. +. Darby.

INSTITUTE is OFF
Lack of Interest in Meeting of
Rock Island County
Farmers.
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETS
Gathering Held This
Winter.

Rock Island county will have no
meeting of the farmers institute this
winter. This was decided at Il con-
ference held at the courthouse today
by members of the executive commit
tee at which President William
Wheaton, of Reynolds, Vice President
W. II. Ashdown, of yuma. l.. Il. Stray
err, of South Rock Island, and w. ).
McCulloch, of Taylor Ridge, were
present.
Interest in the institutes in this
county has been tagging for some
time past. 1t has been difficult to
get Il large turnout at the meetings
unless speakers of prominence were
announced and the expense Of secur-
ing lecturers prevented the holding
of more than one meeting last year.
The cause of the difficulty in getting
an attendance is largely to be found
in the peculiar shape of the county
which prevents residents of the two
eXtremities from reaching all the
meetings.
