B. WILLIAMS WOODEN INDIAN.
Story of Former Local Newspap per Man Who is
Making Mark in Chicago

Among the friends of Charles Eugene
Banks. who came from Chicago to wit
ness the premiere of his new play, An
American Woman" at the Burtis, in
Davenport. Wednesday evening. were
Mr.. and Mrs. Byron Williams. Mr..
Villains formerly worked in the trl-
city newspaper field. and while Mr..
Banks was city editor of the erstwhile
Davenport Republican. served as re-
porter in Rock Island. Mr.. Williams is
now a well-known Chicago publisher,
whose career it may be worth sketch
ing AT this time as the New York Jour
nalist gave il to its readers under the
heading of Byron Williams Wooden
Indian" Byron's biography was not
very serious one, but he did pretty
well. as the following shows:

Tickle Grass" and other alfalfa, was

ANOTHER ATTACK
State Board of Health Issues New
Pamphlet Dealing With
Consumption.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Santana Are Doing Good Work and
Are Not Dangerous to Neigh
boring Communities.

The state board of health has is
sued another pamphlet on the cause
and prevention of consumption. This
Is a step in the boards warfare on
this awful disease IL is in fact the
fourth issue. Ii is called The fourth
revised edition. but there is some new
matter and the old matter has been
worked over so that the pamphlet is
in fact a new document.
IL contains among other subjects the
following: How the sputum may be
destroyed How to avoid consump-
tion." Symptoms of consumption" IF
you have consumption. The hygiene
of the sick ROOM" and a comparison
of the climatic conditions and eleva-
tons of northern Illinois towns with
those of Rutland. Mass. Saranac, n.
Y. and Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia
where extensive outdoor cure hospi-
tails have been established.
Better Thnn East.
The object of this comparison is to
show that Rutland, in WOodford coun-
ty. and other points in this state. the
climatic conditions in every respect
are equal to. if not better. than those
prevailing at the eastern points. where
such good results have been obtained
by the outdoor treatment. The PAM
phlet says that in many places the au-
thorities claim that 20 per cent of the
patients are absolutely cured. The
report says in this connection:
The lessons which have been taught
by the unqualified success of the con-
sumption hospitals of several of the
states: the cures which have been
accomplished and the valuable educa-
tional work which has been done to
minimize the danger of the spread of
infection. should. impress the medical
profession and the people of Illinois
with the great advantages which may
be gained in our own state by the es-
Establishment of similar institutions. and
should assure the unqualified support
OF all classes in securing the necessary
legislation.
Hospitals for consumptives are not
source of danger to the people OF
the communities in which they are sit
uated. as many people think. On the
contrary. il has been the history of
the communities about SUCH %fnstitu-
lions that the number of cases OF con-
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1905-01-17

sumption has actually decreased after
their establishment. The excellent
hygienic methods following in con-
sumptive hospitals. the preventive
measures taken and the lessons taught
in the dangers of infection. are OBJ
served by the people about them with
the result that the development OF
consumption becomes less frequent.
No Danger From Infection.
Instead of being centers from which
consumption may spread. it is known
that the dangers from infection are
less in a consumptive hospital than
in the average city or town. and this
is borne out by the fact that the infec-
ton of physicians, nurses or attend
ants in these institutions is so rare as
to be said to practically never occur
The thorough precautions against in
lection from the sputum make these
perfectly safe for their IN
mates and entirely free from possibiE
ity of danger to the communities m
which they are situated. In fact. as
stated at the British congress on tu-
"the safest place to live In,
for those who wish to avoid consump-
ton. is a well regulated sanitarium.

POISON IN BUTTER
COLOR CAUSES A DEATH
State Board Of Health Urges Use OF
Preparation in Very Small
Quantities.

During December a physician in Mad
ison county reported to the state board
of health the death of child from
drinking butter coloring used by many
of the dairymen and butter makers of
the country. and usually considered by
them as harmless.
Secretary J. A. Egan Immediately in
stituted an investigation and specimens
of the butter colOring were secured and
forwarded to the state food commission
for examination. The state analyst re-
ports that the coloring is made from
analine dyes of the mehyl orange
groups and that it is poisonous in con-
centrated form.
According to the state food laws, but
er makers are permitted to use color
ing matter of harmless character and
the analine colors are probably cOmpar-
atively harmless in the minute quanti-
ties used for this purpose, hence the
state food commission has never taken
action against the users of these dyes.
However, as viewed by the state board
of health, the common use of such col
oring matter brings it into the homes
of thousands of dairymen and farmers.
most of whom are entirely ignorant of
the poisonous qualities of the stuff.
The label on the bottle does not indi-
cate the presence of any poisonous ele-
ments, and it is the general impression
of dairymen that the preparation is en-
tirely harmless. The presence in SO
many homes of unlabeled poison makes
frequent occurrences of the Madison
county incident to be expected at any
time. .nu. -,I.

before the assignment of one Dan
Cupid. Miss Anna l.. Mcconnell. a
Scotch lass from New York state, was
the cause of ii all, and to square the

Having married. and desiring to in

No More Stomach Troubles.

All stomach trouble is removed by
the use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure II
gives the stomach perfect rest by di

colOring matter could be largely over
come by plainly labelling such sub
stance as poison, and that this should
be done is the opinion of the state food
commissioner and of the secretary of
the state board of health; but at pres
ent there is no way under the food
laws of compelling such precautions on
the part of manufacturers, and il is
safe to assume that these manufacture
ers would oppose such regulation as
njuring the sale of what is now held
out to be a harmless product"
The state board of pharmacy is pow
erless at the present time to act in the
matter, for, while druggists and phar-
macists are not permitted to sell at
retail without affiXing to the bottle a
label indicating the contents of the
bottle and it's, poisonous properties. if
any, an exception is made in the case
of patent or proprietary products sold
in original packages, and the butter
colors seem to come under this excep-
ton.
