KEEP THE KIDNEYS
WELL.
Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Rock Island People Know How
to Save IL.

Many Rock Island people take their
lives IN their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these organs
need help. Sick kidneys are RESPONSE
BILE for a vast amount of suffering and
ill-health, but there is no need to suffer
nor to remain in danger when all dis
eases and aches and pains due to weak
kidneys can be quickly and perma-
nently cured by the use of Doan'S Kid
ney Pills. Here is the statement of a
Rock Island citizen who has reclaimed
good health by the use of this remedy:
Albert Littig, of 1900 Fifth avenue,
bricklayer and stone mason, says: -
was taken with a soreness across my
back, and it was further aggravated
by the nature of my work, as | have TO
be so much in a stopped position. !
saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised,
and they were also recommended to
me by a neighbor, SO l went for a box
and began taking them. l was really
surprised to see how quickly they
cured me-"

ANTl-SALOON LEAGUE AT
DIXON SUED FOR $4,000
Interesting Developments as Result OF
Attempt to Regulate Liquor
Business.

Attempts to regulate the saloons of
Dixon have caused a big rumpus in
the town up Rock river. The latest
development is suit for $4,000 filed
against the Law and Order league by
w. l.. Leach, a justice of the peace.
and Ed Cahill, a postoffice employee.
Pastors of several of the leading
churches are also made defendants.
A detective was brought into the town
by the league and it is alleged he filed
a statement that he saw the plaintiffs
n the suit drinking in a saloon early
one Sunday morning. The plaintiffs
claim they proved an alibi but the
league officers refused to make a re-
traction. The detective has not been
seen lately but it is said there are a
number who are ready to settle with
him on sight when he shows up to
testify at the trial.

LESS FOOTBALL MISHAPS
UNDER REVISED RULES.

Statistics show that the new foot
BALI is not nearly as dangerous as
the old style of game. According to
the figures, and it is said figures do
not lie, only eleven players were kill
ed and 104 were injured during the
football season of 1906. These fig
ures are compared with the casual
ties of 1905, when eighteen players
were killed and 159 were severely
injured, and show that ''debrutal-
led football has accomplished in a
large degree the object aimed at, in
rendering the game less dangerous to
life and limb.
The decrease in casualties is espec-
tally marked among high school play
ers. In the season of 1905 eleven
high school players were killed and
forty-seven injured, while in the sea-
son just closed seven were killed and
twenty-five were hurt.
All college and high school games
this year were played under the new
rules drawn up after the close of last
season to satisfy the agitation for
less dangerous football. This year
lot one fatality has occurred in the
games played by the larger American
colleges.

YALE WIN FOOTBALL
CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE

Yale has won the football cham
pionship, with Princeton and Har-
vard ranking next in the order
named. One touchdown decided the
matter, and that n tally was made
possible by the success of a forward
pass-the most uncertain play of the
e game. Yale's successful execu-
ton of the forward pass beat Har-
ward, while one week before Prince
toms failure in a similar play robbed
the Tigers of a tally, which very like
ly would have beaten Yale, for the
game ended without a score by either
team.
These three leaders in the football
world have finished their schedules,
and all the other teams will finish up
