ILLINOIS COUNTY JAILS J
CONDEMNED BY COURT

Judge J. Otis Humphrey, of the
United States court at Peoria, in Wig
| orous language condemned the coun-
ty jails of Illinois, declaring that the
| lack of occupation, bad sanitary con-
ditions and lack of proper food I'M
dermined the strongest constitution.
Time after time, he said, he had SEN
fenced man to 10 months or a year
in Jail and at the expiration of the
sentence the prisoner was a physical
wreck and only went back to his fam
lily to die. Judge Humphrey stated
that hereafter in every case where it
possibly can be avoided he will re-
fuse to give man a long jail SEN
tence, preferring the sorrowful but
to his mind more humane alternative
of branding the man as convict.
If Judge Humphrey would visit
Rock Island he would find its county
Jail no exception to the rule, being
an old, dilapidated, unsanitary shack
that should have been replaced by "a
modern structure years ago.
Judge Gest. when interviewed, said:
II have not read Judge Humphreys
remarks. but 1 imagine he felt in the
matter as others in his position do;
that it is better to place the prisoner
where he will be required to work,
do something for his board, and at
the same time keep his blood in cir
culation. Instead of locking Il man
up l order him sent to the stone pile
in Rock Island county, this adjunct
having been established here after
considerable agitation.
"A cell is no place for an able-bod-
led man unless he he dangerous and
is kept under lock and key in the in
terest of safety.
Put the criminals to work and
keep them at it. 1t is bound to make
better men out of them. The county
Jail has come to be too much of a
lazy mans retreat"

non-partisan, non-sectarian basis, for
the care of neglected youth and to be

both cities and the project may take

Good individual work.

Wanner for Geneseo. and Lit for
Rock Island. distinguished themselves
by long punts and clever all-round
work. o. Jeffrey played the game for
Geneseo. Souders showed good ma
terial on the Rock Island side, while
Ehrhorn was the nerviest player in
the game, sticking to the end with Il
deep cash over his left eye.
Geneseo's otfense was very good
while their defense was mostly indi-
vidual work. Rock Island played
rather slow on the defense. The local
team, however, was fast on their Of
Tense. Several good trick plays were
tried on both sides with varied sue
cess.

AN IDEAL MEDICINE.
New Discovery Which Cures All Forms
M Cata

A New Discovery Which Cures All Forms
| of Catarrh.
| The tablet is the ideal form in
| which to administer medicine, but
until recently no successful catarrh
| tablet has ever been attempted
| There is now, however. an excellent
and palatable remedy for catarrh in
tablet form, known as Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets. and sold by druggists,
composed of the most recent discov-
cries in medicine for cure of catarrh.
and results from their use have been
highly gratifying.
The old time treatment of catarrh
was in the form of inhalers, washes,
douches, sprays, etc. Later on inter
nal remedies were used with greater
success, but being in liquid or powder
form were inconvenient to use, and
like all medicines in liquid or powder
form, lose their medicinal properties
when opened or exposed to the air.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain
highly concentrated antiseptics, ny
drastin, blood root ana red gum.
which kill the catarrh germs in the
blood and mucous membrane, and in
this respect are strictly scientific and
modern, because all authorities are
now agreed that catarrh is a consti-
tutionaI blood disease, and local APP
plications can have only Il transitor.y
effect
The use of inhalers, douchCs and
sprays is Il nuisance and inconveni-
ence and can in no wise compare ia
vorably with the same antiseptics
given in tablet form Internally.
where they can reach the stomach
and blood and kill catarrh germs
right where they are produced.
prominent lawyer and public
speaker of Pittsburg says: ~ have
been troubled with catarrh of the
head and throat for IL years. In this
climate it seems impossible to get rid
of it. The continual dropping of
mucous from the nose into the throat
caused irritation and hoarseness, SER
iously interfering with my public
speaking. 1t took me an hour or
more of coughing. gagging, expector-
ating and sneezing every morning be
fore l could settle down to work.
and this condition gradually brought
on catarrh of the stomach, causing
loss of appetite, poor digestion and
foul breath, which annoyed me eX
ceedingIy.. My physician advised me
to try Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and
took them for two months and was
astonished to find how quickly they
cleared my head, throat and stomach.
and l have no hesitation in recon-
mending them. They are not only
pleasant to take, but they seem to
get at the very root of the trouble.
because since using them L have had
no trace of catarrh.
Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets at so cents for full sized pack
age.
They can be carried in the pocket
and used any time and as often as
desired since they contain no cocaine,
mercury or any other injurious drug.

Rock Island Kicks or.

In the second half Wanner kicked
the Pigskin over Rock Islands goal
line but as a local player fell on the
ball it counted nothing. Rock ISL
and kicked off from the 25-yard line
and the ball was returned ten yards.
Geneseo tried to drop kick goal from
the field but failed. From then on it
was a fight to the finish. Both sides
fought like fiends. Very few large
gains were made and the playing was
mostly done near the center of the
field until the last five minutes of the
game, when Rock Island began to
give in before the superior weight of
their opponents. When the game
finished Rock Island was giving away
freely
