ATHLETES CURSE
Apostle Dowie Declares That Long
Walks Are Sufficient to Keep
I'm Health.

Waukegan, ILL.,. May 23.-Among
the rules of life laid down by Apos-
tie John Alexander Dowie at Zion
City Sunday were these:
Have the good things of life.
God wants us to eat and drink the
good things of the world"
While the Scripture says, All
creatures of God are good. hogs, to-
bacco. alcohol. oysters, etc, are not
Of God and should not be eaten.
"Whle the elephant of modern
days and the great animals of the
past were vegetarians, flesh is not
forbidden for diet, and may be eat
en-.
do not go in for athletics. The
athletes are the curse of this coun-
try, as they were of ancient Greece.
Long walks and cleaning out your
back yard should be enough to keep
YOU in good health. The Lord has
no pleasure In the legs OF a man.
says the Bible.
Read steadily and much of good
literature. Also remember that
Gods likeness is of much avail In

His references to athletics were.
especially extensive.

but not in athletics to any extent.

The suggestion that heavy wag-
ons be kept on the reconstructed

The board of aldermen last night
declined to pass the dairymen's or
dinance, which was measure to
charge some Of the dairymen one
price and some another. This seems
to be the correct position. All dairy
men or persons engaged in selling
dairymen's products should be re-
quired to pay the same license, just
as all retail merchants. all saloon
keepers. and all everybody else are
required TO pay the same license re-
gardless of the size of their store,
the value of their stock or the
amount of business they do. The
dairymen who are in the business on
a large scale and pay the full IL
cense. are entitled TO the proper pro-
lection. The city has no right TO
charge them one price and then
let a man come in and compete with
them without paying a license, sim
ply because he does not sell as much
or come as often as a regular dairy
man.

GOOD ROADS IN ILLINOIS.

Governor Deneen, OF Illinois, has
signed the two Good Roads Bills
passed by the last legislature. thus
encouraging and aiding a movement
that cannot become too extensive or
enthusiastic. The Illinois legislature
instead of frittering away its time
passing idlotic bills to be promptly
knocked out by the higher courts, or
which are already on the statute
books, passes laws which tend to
benefit the people.
Ii recently appropriated $4,000
for experimental work in good roads
building for two years, which is one
of the two bills just signed by the
governor. The other bill provides
that the authorities of the peniten.
tlaries and reform school. upon the
petition of the state highway COM
mission, shall employ the convicts in
the manufacture of tile, culvert pipe
and road building material to be fur
nished free to such highway commits
sioners of the state as may ask for It,
II every state would put its con-
victs to manufacturing pipe and road
material, and then employ them
in putting 1t down and assisting
in good roads building. the people
would get some benefit from hav-
ing 10 pay the expenses of our penal
Institutions, although IL is true there
would be less money for the convict
labor grafters and politicians TO hog
The good roads question. as well
as the convict labor question could
probably be solved in no better way.
Some states have prohibited their
convicts being worked at anything
because OF the competition II brings
about with honest labor. II these
idle convicts or In fact any convicts
were used to make good, substantial
roads, they would be employed to ad-
vantage in countless places that 9TH
erwise might not In many years have
good, modern road.
Speaking of good roads is a remiE.
der that the movement is becoming
prominent In all up-to-date eommu
mites. and congress is helping in no
small degree.
When what Is now known as the
Brownlow Good Roads Bill was first
offered in the house OF representa-
tiyes Il was regarded by some as pro
posing dangerous innovation In our
economic AFFAIRS. but others do not
regard II as so far without the line OF
well-establish precedent aud clearly
written constitutional limitations.
The paramount question at this time
Is have we In the United States sat

Grip Quickly Knocked Out

''Some weeks ago during the severe
winter weather both my wife and
myself contracted severe colds which
speedily developed into the worst
kind of la grippe with all its miser-
able symptoms" says Mr.. ]. s. Egles-
ton of Maple Landing, Iowa. "Knees
and joints aching, muscles sore, head
stopped up, eyes and nose running,
with alternate spells of chills and
fever. We began using Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, aiding the same with
a dose of Chamberlain's Stomach and
Liver Tablets, and by its liberal use
soon completely knocked out the
grip" These Tablets promote
healthy action of the bowels, liver
and kidneys which is always beneficial
when the system is congested by
cold or attack of the grip. For sale

Put Yourself in Her Place.

Louisville and New York have Just
passed through a municipal election.
In both cities the result is the same;
the reform ticket and thousands of
votes practically disfranchised by a
dishonest count. In both cities the
election returns will be contested by
patriotic men who know that they are
people, and who know that election
returns should express the will of the
people, not the will of a political
machine.
These disfranchised citizens of
Louisville and New York are now in a
position to understand exactly why a
woman wants to vote.
1t isn't pleasant to be disfranchised,
is it, gentlemen Every drop of
patriotic blood boils in your veins,
just as it does in ours, at the thought
that you have been defrauded of the
most sacred right of citizenship, the
right of self-government for which our
fore-fathers fought at Bunker Hill and
Kings Mountain.
But never mind. Politics is "a
cesspool." No manly man would
wish to unsex himself by voting.
You are angeles and demi-gods.
We cannot have the bloom of your
manhood brushed off by participation
in politics. No man can vote and at
the same time attend to his home and
his family. 1t is not right to thrust
the burden of voting on busy
husbands and fathers. Attend to
your homes, your children and your
wives and let the ''machine" run the
state.
Gentlemen, you are on the pedestal
with we women. Be content.
