Weary of the Existing State of AZ
fairs

Yesterdays election put the stamp
of public disapproval of the existing
state of municipal affairs in Rock Is
land. The anti-administration forces
elected four out of seven aldermen
not by narrow majorities, but by
good, big margins in each case, cut
down the ordinary republican ma jor-
tiles in the other wards and made a
notable reduction in the normal re-
publican vote on the township ticket.
The outcome was Enthusiastically a
rebuke of the present mayor and

faction that is felt in all sections of

they made campaign for improved

Judgment. Probably one thing that
has occurred that has startled these
people in their search for oil is the
work of the Peoria company. At
that place il is believed that oil will
be found in paying quantity and the
work is being rapidly pushed. Still
another is a happening of nearly 40
years ago. On the Isaac Harris farm
wOrkmen were digging a well and
one night while eating supper they
heard a great rumbling noise and one
of the men rushed from the house
with a candle. He made for the well
and when near lighted the candle.
When he reached the well there was
an explosion, which was thought to
have been caused by the gas igniting
from the candle. The man was badly
burned. In time this well was filed
in and no search was made for gas.
This occurrence has probably helped
TO stir up the desire for a thorough
investigation of that cOmmunity's
hidden wealth.

The Other Way.

1t is evident that we can't live without
food and we can't maintain good health any
length of time on half rationS. When the
stomach is weary and refuses to work, we
must devise some plan besides starvation to
give it a rest. There is only one other way,
and that is to do the Stomach'S work for it.
There are great many preparations that
will aid the digestion of food. Some of
them help digest starchy foods, such as
bread and potatoes and cereals; others help
digest albuminous and nitrogenous foods,
such as eggs and meat and cheese. Most
of these preparations are good as far as they
go, but they do not go far enough. Nature
demands a generous and varied diet, and
EVERYTHING we eat must be thoroughly
digested. Partial digestion may relieve for
q time, but it cannot cure dyspepsia.

BY intricate experiments and laboratory

exact proportions all the digestants natural
u used in the digestion of the various
classes of foods and to unite with them the
organic substances required to build up the
exhausted tissues.
These Investigations were especially con-
Quoted for the purpose Of devising a prep

Iieve the digestive organs from work by di-
costing whatever class Of foods might be

Couldn't Live Without One.

The whole trouble lies in the stomach,
that's plain enough. But we can't afford to
remove the stomach and we can't afford to
let it be destroyed by disease. 1t IS the
most important organ of the body and we
couldn't live without it.
The stomach prepares the food for making
the blood that nourisheS every organ and
tissue of the body. Without good, rich
blood the heart becomes weak, the lungs
break down, the liver becomes choked and
the kidneys are strained beyond endurance.
There is no disease, except the consequence
of injury, that is not directly caused or
aggravated by disorders OF the stomach.

The result has been more than it at first
seemed possible to accomplish. The prepar-

kOdol Dyspepsia Cure, has been used by
many thousands of dyspeptics, and in every

its continued use never failed to bring about

after everything else had failed. This
record seems remarkable; but. it is only
a natural result of the composition and
