MOLINE MENTION.

For Jobbing Householder the aus
pices of the civic Improvement com
mittee of the Moline club a meeting
will be held at the club rooms tomor-
row evening, at which the ACCESSIBILITY
of establishing wholesale grocery in
Moline will be considered. The com
mittee includes E. E. Morgan, Captain
W. c. Bennett, G. A. Stephens, c. H.
Pope, and Captain F. w Gould. Al
ready the matter has had considerable
attention and plans are under way for
something definite along this line.
Now a number of citizens have been
invited to meet with the club commit
tee and talk the matter over more
thoroughly. In the invitations sent
out by President Ross of the club he
says: Under present conditions i'll
Moline, our people, our business and
our investments are directly depend
ent upon the factory. Disaster to the
factory would be disaster to us all.
We believe that it is this feature that
is impeding Moline's progress. If we
shall make our city inviting to men
and money. we must develop commerce
and trade and secure a large diversi-
fed activity. Moline is especially IA
vored as a jobbing or distributing
place. We are centrally located. Our
water and rail transportation is I'M
surpassed anywhere. We are in the
very midst of a tremendously large
and increasing market. There appears
to be no valid reason why we should
surrender this valuable industry to
other cities"

AN OLD IDEA

Shown to be Absolutely False by Mod
ern Science.
People used TO think that badness
was one of those things which are
handed down from generation to gen
Grafton, from father to son-just like a
family heirloom
Science has shown the falseness of
this belief by proving that badness
itself is not a constitutional disease,
but the result of a germ invasion of
which only Herpicide can effectually
rid the scalp.
Washing only cleans the scalp of
