TO ISOLATE CONSERVATIVES.
Health Departments Suggestions Sent
Out in a Circular.

The District Health Department is dis
trfbuting among physicians and other citi-
zens of the District circular on the pre-
vention of the spread of consumption.
This circular was prepared about a
month ago, and was at that time pub
lished in The Times. 1t deals with practi-
cal and common sense suggestions as to
the care of consumptives, and the pre-
caution which should be taken by those
in attendance upon them, or who asso-
ciate with them in the family.
DR.. Woodward stated yesterday that
while consumption is to some extent a
durable disease. 1t is necessarily fatal in
a great many cases, and he thought that
the most hopeful way Of stamping it out
would be along the line of isolation and
the practice of the precautions suggested
in the circular

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1902-04-26

CINCE Rock Island assumed the rank
of city there has been at nearly
all times some sort of organization
of business men formed for mutual
protection and the upbuilding of the
interests of the community. The
present Rock Island Retail Mer-
chants association is confined strict
~ TO these lines.Its membership com
Prises businessmen of nearly every
class and professional men and manu-
facturers as well. An important
work both for the members and for
the city is being done.
The Retail Merchants association
had it's origin in an association of
grocers which was broadened into the
Rock Island Merchants Mutual Pro-
tective association. The latter was
formed May %. 1896. with so members.

formation bearing upon the credit
rating of persons business men have
on their books
The Merchants association has
done the city valuable service in a
number of ways. chiefly in offering
encoura cement for the location of in
dustries here. As applying particu-
larly 70 members the giving of prizes
to customers by merchants has been
done away with and the purchasing
of tickets and the patronizing of pro-
grams has been curtailed 10 a large
extent. When the reorganization was
under the present name head
quarters were established at Kreli &
Mathis hall. These were changed to
the present room ON the third floor of
Mitchell & Lynde's building Dec. IS,
1900.
The present officers of the associa-
ton are:
President-George If. Kingsbury.

collection laws. The headquarters
were at Odd Fellows hall. At the
end of about a year the association
had ceased TO be effective and meet

days later another meeting was held
i'm which l.. j. Sommers was chosen
president and s. Il. Wright secretary.
During 1SeS Beselin's hall was the
meeting place of the association.
The state organization was affiliated
with during this year. But interess
again waned and Jan. 80. 1899, an
other meeting was called at Turner
hall for the purpose of recognizing.

pointed and at another session held
two days later a list of So business
men who desired to- join was brought
in.

association was then formed with

tion. the delegates from here securing

day known as merchants day has
been held during the month of July
each year and has been observed with
commendable spirit by the public
generally as we'll as by members of
the association. ON each holiday

first to Rockford. the second to Jo-
liet and the third TO Aurora.
The most important undertaking OF
tile association and the one perhaps
from which the greatest benefit has
been derived, has been the issuing of
a rating book after the Galesburg
plan. the members turning in ratings
of their customers and the reports
being complied for the benefit of the
association. This important work
was begun May II. 1900. when +. j.
Burns. was appointed rating book sec
rotary One hundred copies of the
rating book were gotten out in the
early part of 1901 and distributed
among the members. So generally
was the value of the work recognized
that during the year there were but
two lapsations and at the beginning
of the present year there were IS

WANTS THEM TO WASH
Well Known EccIesiastio Sends ~ Remark
able Petition Co tho Pope Regardinr
Italian Monks or Priests.

Rome, Sept. IA well-known &c
clesiastic has forwarded remark
able petition to the pope. "ln the
interests of civilized society and the
honor of religion in ITALY," he begs
the pontiff to grant plenary indul-
gence to all priests or monks who
shall wash themselves daily, with ex-
ira impartial indulgence to those
shaving regularly at least three times
q week during a specified period.
} Students belonging to the Teutonic
and Anglo-Saxon colleges at Rome
are easily recognizable by their gen.
eral neatness and cleanliness, but in
the Italian seminaries and monastic
novitiates the traditional sanctity OF
dirt still holds sway. In most OF
them soap, hair brushes and looking
glasses are worldly luxuries excluded
by rule, and the clerics emerging
therefrom perpetuate the tradition.
The pope ON occasion has evinced an
noyance at the unkempt condition OF
the monks who have come in close
contact with his august person.
Visitors to Italy will heartily well
come the innovation.
