POOR CHRISTIANS

! II is absolutely out of the question
! for person to be peaceful. capable
and right minded when the brain is
underfed. and the nerves wrecked
from lack of rebuilding elements they
have a right to expect from good
food.
y person fed on meat, bacon. ham.
/ fried cakes, hot biscuit, sticky and
poorly cooked starchy oat meal and
wheat, may possibly have strong di-
gestion enough to handle these things
and be happy. healthy individual;
but 90 people in 100 have not. and the
result is irritable, poorly nourished,
nervous bodies, foul breath. and a
general condition that prevents one
from being happy and contented. 1t
is practically impossible for such
persons to be good Christians.
The religion OF common sense and
good food is the first religion that
man or woman should cultivate, for
that condition makes possible
thoughts of n higher nature and a
better grade.
There is a world of wisdom in the
saying of Rusllin, I'VE may be sure
we are not serving the Lord if we are
not happy ourselves" All should try
to build up Il steady set of nerves and
get rid of dyspepsia. constipation,
ftuttering heart, weak nervous con-
ditIons, and a train of terrors that
come from bad digestion and poor
food. They should quit coffee abso-
luteiy. Take for breakfast little
cooked or raw fruit, saucer of
Grape-Nuts, Food and n cup of Pos
tum Coffee. No meat or grease. You
will have a clean, healthy stomach
for dinner and at that meal have
some meat and vegetables that You
can digest. Let your supper be the
same as your breakfast.
You probably don't need medicine
but you need the kind of food that
contains elements that rebuild the
soft gray matter in the brain and
nerve centers throughout the body.
1t is up to you," reader, to put
yourself right and make of yourself
n happy, cheerful individual, capable
and showing forth the charm of life
rather than its terrors and distresses.

The repairs To the intake pipe have

sons have been passed during which
typhoid fever has had an unusual run
in Rock Island and. many have suf-
fered and a number have died as a
consequence. That the city has been
enabled to escape much worse
Scourge from the same disease many
are convinced, and none more so
than the present chairman of The

Anderson. That gentleman in CON

pressed himself freely on the sub
iect.
Filter to the Rescue
Il am perfectly satisfied i'm my own
mind" he said. that with those leaks
in the intake pipe permitting con
taminated sewage from the upper
end of the city, including the hos
pital. and from Moline, to Ice drawn
into the waterworks wen and later
pumped out for use in the city. the
ravageS of typhoid fever would have
been far worse than they were had
il not been for the purifying influ-
encc of our reservoir and filter sys-
tenn. Particularly during the latter
part of the summer just past and the
present fall would this have been
true, ! am convinced. While there
is some typhoid i'm the city now we
are not more afflicted than other
places of the same size and general
conditions.
Although our system is not large
enough to properly filter all the wa
ter used at all times OF the year, yet
in the spring and fall it has proven
sufficient to stay the course of the |
disease and permit the general |
health of the city to rise to the nor
NAL level. Sewage has undoubtedly |
found its way into the city's water
supply all through the year in the
same quantities. and the only reason |
that can he ascribed for a cessation
of typhoid in the spring is the re-
sum IBllOil OF the llNll ol the WI |
ter after the ice has melted.

the best eNtant and one that will give |
the best results obtainable when it is |
fully worked out. OF course we
must find some way to prevent ice |
from forming on the filter basins so
as to hinder their being cleaned dur !

Ponce, Porto Rico. March 28.-An
other expedition of Hawaiian bound
emigrants sailed for New Orleans or
the steamer Californian, Captain
Dyer, from Guaniea, yesterday. There
were 500 IN the party.
The expedition was composed Of tn
finest appearing lot of people yet te
leave for Hawaii. Nearly all the trav
elers comprised entire families.
The number of persons to a family
averaged about six and there was one
family of IL persons.
OF the 200 Porto Ricons who have
gone to Hawaii over 65 per cent have
been women.
Before the first boat load of emf
grants was sent to the Californian
about 1900 people congregated or
the beach and two priests celebrated
mass in the open air. Two weddings
and two christenings were also per
formed.
While on their way to New Orleans
the emigrants, most of whom were in
rags when embarking, will be cheaply
but substantially clothed at the ex
pense of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters
association and the entire party viii
be vaccinated Rations of Goldfish
beef, potatoes, rice, beans, bread and
coffee are served twice daily.
The numbers of Porto Ricons who
have lately so willingly emigrated tc
Hawaii, there to seek a livelihood
under unknown conditions, is regard
ed as conclusive proof that want and
even starvation do exist here.

COMMIssARY FRAUDS.
Nj. arthur Said They Were Being
Investigated and Not Sufficiently
Grave to Cause Concern.

Washington, April 4.-The follow
ing cahlegram was received Wednes-
day at the war department from Gen
eral Macarthur at Manila:
"Brigadier General Robert P.

and misleading. Macarthur.
General MacArthur's dispatch, as
well as other information received
concerning the frauds, leave consic-
cradle doubt as to the exact charac-
ter of these alleged populations. Gen
eral Macarthur speaks Of sales. :
These sales consist of savings by sol
diers on the regular rations issued.
which they are allowed to dispose Of
for their own benefit Generally the
savings are made a company matter,
and are disposed of in bulk to the
highest bidder. They may be re.
turned to the eommissary department
and bought in by the government at
cost price, but there is no reason why
they should not be sold elsewhere il
the managers of the company fund
should so desire. AS army rations do
not pay the usual duty imposed on
similar goods used for private con
sumption, the soldiers could make
quite prifit on their savings if they
were Of considerable amount. Sales
from commissary stores, not includ-
ed in the regular ration, are made to
officers and men, but only upon GER
tificate or declaration that they are
for the personal use of the purchaser.
1t Is said that no amount of such sales
could be used by any person or per-
sons without detection. Officers OF
men purchasing such stores and re-
selling them would be guilty of VIC
lating the army regulations and would
be subject to court martial AS to
the other savings they are upon the
regular rations issued to each com
pany. They might be in flour, meat
sugar or any number of staple articles
included in the ration The money
procured for the sale of such savings
is usually devoted TO the purchase of
such supplies as are not included in
the ration and many delieacies and
varieties of food are thus secured by
the men IN garrison or camp
