VALUABLE RULES FOR
MILK USERS TO OBSERVE
Directions in Circular May Be Follow.
ed in Rock Island With Beneficial
Results.

The Waverly Gordon company which
makes a specially of applying 'certi-
fed milk for the high class trade in
Chicago, Washington and other large
lar, instructing their customers how to
care for the daily supply of milk the
rules embodied being timely and ap-
plicable TO all milk users in Rock Is
land:
"The first matter of Importance is
that our milk shall be kept at uni
fOrmly low temperature from the mo-
ment it is received until it is used,
preferably at about 40 degrees Fahren-
heit. No milk can be properly kept
without the use of ice.
ct is never safe to open milk or
cream and, after removing a part of
it, leave the jar uncovered, expose the
milk in open pitchers, or return any
that has been exposed in pitchers
again to the original jar.
1T is never well to keep milk o.
cream that has once been opened, il
a refrigerator that contains othe
foods.
ut is never wise to expose any mill
or cream to the usual air of the kitch
en-. the pantry or the nursery except
for such time as is necessary to obtain
what is needed for immediate use.
at is very unwise to put milk into
any vessel of pitcher that has been
washed in dishwater and wiped with a
kitchen cloth. Vessels TO be employed
for milk should be boiled in clean wa
ter and left for use unwiped. with the
mouths turned down, and in clean
place. s'rT n b@r
at is best and safest to use milk or
cream, at meal times, from the original
bottle in which il is received
Never cook or boil milk, especially
with cereals. in a vessel used for gen
eral purposes. but set aside special
vessel, and boil it in clean water be-
fore using for cooking milk"

True Now as Then.

New York Sun: The San Francisco
Call of Sunday, April 10, has reached
New York. One week ago this morn
ing the Call was discussing the future
of San Francisco. 1t was then saying:
"Our destiny is upon us. We cannot
escape it, San Francisco has an impe-
tus that nothing can check CosmOpol-
itan. uttering more languages than
made the confusion of Babel, comb
ing the energies and the arts of many
peoples. the meeting place of the DC
cidental and the Orient. with the pic
turesque features of both. this city is
emerging into literature and rising TO
her inheritance and opportunity"
We reproduce this passage in order
to express our profound conviction
that every word of it holds good after
the disaster that befell San Francisco
on the following Wednesday.
1t is all true now for exactly the
same reasons that made it true when
first written. San FranciscO's destiny
is hers. she has an impetus that moth
ing can check. and she will arise TO her
inheritance and opportunity

Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous
For Rock Island People to

The great danger of kidney troubles
is that they get firm hold before the
sufferer recognizes them. Health is
gradually undermined. Backache, head
aches, nervousness, lameness, sore
ness, lumbago. urinary troubles, drop

with the certain and safe remedy,
Doan's Kidney Pills. which has cured
people right here in Rock Island.
A. Stees, of 921 Nineteenth street,
says: my kidneys caused me great
deal of discomfort to say nothing of
the money | spent trying to cure my
self. There were constant pains in the
small of my back and if l changed my

pain shooting through my kidneys.
There was too frequent action of the

Hunting Down Graft.

The convictions of Greene and Gay

graft. however extensive and tempo

The persistent prosecution OF these
wealthy contractors who by the con-

to defraud the government of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars is worthy
of all commentator.

sick to think of it, but it
isn't nearly as bad as it
used to be. The improved
method of refining it
makes it much easier to

Most children like it and
all children that are not

TIE State Elections.

The latest Eastern election returns
seems to indicate that Hughes has
beaten Hearst, for Governor OF New
York, by a scratch when We consider
the size OF the vote-by from only So
600 to 1900 plurality. And Roose-
welt had TO get down from the posi-.
ton of President and enact the role OF
ward rustler to accomplish it.
Republican Governors are reported
to have been elected in Colorado, Con-
ncticut, Iowa, Massachusetts,, Michi-
gan, New Hampshire, Penns! lvauis,
South Dakota, Wisconsin and Wy.
oming, and Democratic executives in
Kansas, Minnesota North Dakota,
Rhode Island, Tennessee and Texas.
Throughout the South, the Demo-
cratic State and Congressional tickets
have been carried by their usual ma
j"rities. In the West and East, Re-
publicans have sustained material
losses, but not enough to change the
party alignment Of Congress.
California has elected Gillette Gov.
ornor and the Republican ticket by
about $4,000 plurality, according to
the Chairman Of the Republican State
Committee. The Democrats do not
coucede that much plurality.
Returns up to yesterday morning
show that the Representatives in the
next House will stand 223 Republi-
cans and lGS Democrats. For Labor
Democrats nine elected from Pennsyl-
vanis.
--latest returns seem to indicate that
Hughes is about the only winner on
the New York State ticket.
The Democratic increase of q in
the House Of Representatives is not q
bad showing after all, nationally, aside
from the decrease OF Republican ma.
jorities almost everywhere.
Washington has probably gone Re.
publican by the regulation plurality,
which was in 1900, on the head of the
ticket, 1858. The vote OF 1904 is
not fair indication of party strength
when Parker was practically ignored
and Democrats voted for Roosevelt as
the best embodiment of their princi-
Piles. The Republicans, however, claim
the State by 10000 or 10000 plurality.
Allowing this claim, the Democratic
gain is enormous, for the Republican
plurality on State electors was that
year 1869,
