Desire For Food
Is Important
Appetite Is Necessary In Order To
Digest What We Eat.

We notice that some of the most
eminent physicians of this country and
Europe who have made a study of the
process OF digestion unite in the opin-
ION that keen appetite is a great aid
to proper digestion. Some even go so
far as to say that there must be a
good sharp appetite for the food eaten
in order that it be properly digested
and assimilated. DIR. ]. p. Pawlow's
essay on The Work of the Digestive
Glands, which was awarded the Nobel
prize. sets forth very clearly the value
of appetite.
There is no other such safe sure
means for creating a healthy appetite
as Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer taken be-
fore or with your meals, and it is an
almost absolute guarantee of perfect
digestion. while it's tonic and food
value cannot be overestimated.
DIR. Joseph Feisler, of the North
western University of Chicago in COM
nenting upon this said: II fully be-
iieve that the moderate use of good
peer at meal times acts as u tonic and
Is therefore useful"
Er. FeiSler stands at the head of his
profession and his words must carry
health.
Pabst Blue Ribbon is such a beer as
Dr: Feisler recommends. 1t is a prod
uct of eight-day malt, choicest hops
contains all the valuable food elements
OF the barley in predigested form. 1t
gives Pabst Beer it's rich nutrition and
the line mellow flavor which distin-
cuisines 1T from other beer. This, to-
gether with sixty. years of scientific
so far in the lead. No food that comes
from the cleanest kitchen can be
cleaner, purer and more wholesome
tnan this celebrated beer.

In many instances Hyomei has cured
catarrh when the patient has suffered
from childhood. Quite a few people in
Rock Island who have been unable for
years to get a good nights sleep on
account of the disagTeeable tickling

throat, have obtained quick relief from
few treatments with Hyomei. and
the continued use has made a com

RUNNING SORES
COVERED LIMBS
Little Girls Obstinate Case of
Eczema = instantaneous Relief
BY Cuticura Little Boys Hands
and Arms Also Were a Mass
of Torturing Sores - Grateful
Mother Says:
"CUTICURA REMEDIES
A HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

ain reply to your letter I write you
my experience, and you are privileged
to use it as you see fit. Last year,
after having my little girl treated by n
very prominent physician for an obstl-
nate case of eczema, | reSOrted to the
Cuticura Remedies, and was so well
pleased with the almost instantaneous
relief afforded that we discarded the
physicians prescription and relied en-
tirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When
we commenced with the Cuticura Rem
edies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about SIX weeks
we had her completely well, and there
has been no recurrence of the trouble.
In July of this year a little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twenty-four
hours his hands and arms were a mass
of torturing sores. We used only the
Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
anointed them with the Cuticura Oint-
ment, and then gave him the Cuticura
Resolvent. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up; so we have
lots of cause for feeling grateful for the
Cuticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are a valuable
household standby, living as we do
twelve miles from a doctor, and where
it costs from twenty to twenty-five dol
lars to come up on the mountain.

Six in Family llI.-The family OF
John Teeter, the carpenter, residing at
625 Harrison street, is sorely afflicted
with illness. Four children, all under
10 years of age. are down with scarlet
fever in a very severe form, and the
two remaining children display symp-
toms of having the same disease, and
it is therefore very probable that with
in the next "a hours the parents will
have six sick children to minister to.

Becker and Chief Tom Atkinson to re-
form the present police force. hIr.
Enghauser was charged with insubor-
dination. Several nights ago, it is al
legged that he reported three times in
succession from the same patrol box,
which would indicate that he did not
cover his beat very thoroughly. The
officer was taken to task for his neg
lect of duty, got rebellious, and the re-
quest for him TO hand in his star and

LOOKS LIKE A ROSE THORN.
South American Insect Thus Protected
 by Nature from Its Enemies.

Protective resemblance, protective coloration, or whatever name may be given to the deception which is prac. ticed by one branch of zoology upon another is to the naturalist at all times most fascinating study. The green caterpillar in the country hedges, the moth reposing on the tree trunk, the fiat fish on the sandy bot. tom and the stick insect on the bar. ren twig provide in a lesser or great. CT degree remarkable illustrations by one of the wisest of Dame Natures provisions against the risk of exter- imitation.
 In some cases the protective resem. blance serves double purpose. It is protective in that it affords conceal. ment from the enemy and aggressive because per contra the victim can ap- preach without fear.
 One of the most remarkable, per haps, is the little South American in- sect which bears so striking a re semblanee to the ordinary rose thorn as often to deceive the most practiced eye. How it discovered in the first instance its similarity to prickly thorn. or how. having made the dis covery. it decided to use it as a means of protection against its natural enc mics Is one of natures profoundest riddles.

to enable them to make campaigns against wealthy men who are willing to expend from $20,000 to $50.000 for the honor of going to congress. But we can and should pay them enough to enable them to live respec- tably while here without resorting to all sorts of petty devices, and with out being dependent on corporations for "retainers." When congress recognizes the fact that subterfuges do not pay in the end, we will have more honest, straightforward legisla- tion. Although the country toler- ated the action of congress in in- creasing the salary of the president by $25,000 a year under the pretext it was for travelling expenses" it would have infinitely more respect for the members if they would frank ly increase their own pay rather than attempt to attain the same end by increasing their clerk hire allowance and arranging it so they can collect 1t themselves.

 told your correspondent a story but
 swore him to secrecy as 70 the lady
 involved. The story is worth repeat
 ing especially as there is no longer any necessity to preserve the iden-

 then MT Dockstader had as a part of his monologue. some witty and
 more or less irrevelent remarks con- cerning the then comparatively re- cent marriage of a we'll known poli- tician of accumulatiye years and
 prestige. The evening after his first performance word was brought to his dressing room that a lady wished to see him in the lobby of the theater. He hastened to the lobby where he found a richly dressed woman evil dently handsome although heavily yelled. 'I am Mrs K" she said. You have in your monoiogue some references to my recent marriage. which. though they are humorous and not at all malicious. are dis dressing to both my husband and my self.

FREE SEED TALK
Opponents of Custom Are Busy
 on New Measures.

Washington, Dec 1S.-The propo- sition presented to the house com-
 mittee on agriculture by the oppon-
 ents of the present method of con-
 ducting the congressional free seed
 distribution is one that will not fail
 to receive the support of the entire
 country with the exception of few
 members of congress who are welded
 beyond hope to turnip and pumpkin
 seed. Of the $242,000 now expended
 in distributing free seed. s132,000 is
 spent in giving away the commonest
 and cheapest seed on the market. For
 two days the anti-free seeders argued
 the matter before the house commit
 tee on agriculture last week. They
 represented that while the govern
 ment was justified in its work of
 original research, to develop and inn prove seed, to secure seeds and plants
 from all parts of the world with a view of aseertaining the possibilities
 of their domestication, 1t was not
 justified in giving away. year after year. millions of pockets of cheap and common varieties of seed which could
 be obtained at any seed store in The country. In support of their conten- tions that the sentiment of the coun- ltry was practically a unit on the subject they presented the views of
 the department of agriculture as
 voiced by Secretary Wilson and Pro-
 lessor B. T. Galloway, chief of the
 bureau of plant industry: resolutions
 from national organizations of farm- CTS and about 300 state and local agricultural and horticultural socie- ties: letters from 500 professors of Agricultural colleges and more than a thousand selected editorials from as many daily newspapers and peri odicals. all to the same effect. The intimation having been frequently made that the opinions of the press were being improperly influenced by the seed merchants through their ad- vertising patronage. several editors of prominent agricultural papers stated to the committee that they had opposed the turnip seed distribution for years before they became editors. and that no seed merchant had ever intimated to them that he would either increase or decrease his ad- vertisinz because of any attitude they might take on the question. They further stated that they were southerners and their publications largely among southern farmers. and that the members from the south were mistaken if they thought the southern farmers clam bring for free squash seed Give us all the money you will" they sail. but let 1t De devoted to the real ad- Of sEriculture"

POLL BUYS THEATER
Purchased Property of Majestic Hall Corporation For $3s,ooo.

Hartford, Dec 1s.-Sylvester z. Poli' the vaudeville magnate, yester- day became the owner of the theater on Main street he has occupied since opening vaudeville house here three years ago. The property was pur. chased from the Majestic Hall cor poration, through the real estate agency of Robert c. Price. The deeds were passed yesterday, the sale being by the officers of the corpora tion. George Ulrich, president, and Charles NJ. Webster, secretary. The price paid was $39,OOO.
 The negotiations had been in prog ress some time, as noted in the Times a few weeks ago. The sale carried with it fee in gangway to Null berry street and rights in the gang way on the north. Mir Poli has a lease for portion of the Peter Lux building, which is used as an en- trance to the theater.
 Before the Majestic Hall corpora tion. transfer the discharged mort gage and all incumbrance against the property by quit claim, and Mir Poll secured a mortgage from the Aetna Life Insurance Co for $30,000.
 As stated previously, when the negotiations were in progress. the conditions of the lease were nat sat isfactory. The rental of the property to Mir Poli was not a profitable in- vestment. and as the estate of Patrick H. Quinn and Colonel F.. NJ. Graves were involved. and could not be set tied until some disposition was made of the property. the corporation was anxious to sell.
 Mir Poli is anxious to enlarge the seating capacity. For a time after he opened his theater here. with seats for HOO. it was the best paying house in his circuit. Now he has the aters in New Haven and Worcester of larger seating capacity. and he is considering the best way to increase the number of seats in his Hartford theater. IL is possible that he may add another gallery, although no plans have yet been made. It will be necessary to raise the roof. and this is something of proposition.
