A Tragic Finish.

A watchman's neglect permitted a
leak in the great North Sea dyke
which a child's finger could have stop
ped, to become a ruinouS break, de-
vastating an entire province in Hol

cold to go unnoticed until tragic fin
ish was only averted by Dr. Kings

Why Perfect Beer
Means Health
The Best Beer Is Possible Only With
Eight-Day Malta Scientific Fact
About Brewing.

A perfect beer is healthful--it builds
up strength. aids digestion. and acts as
"A tonic in giving renewed vitality. \
perfect beer is possible only with perfect
malt and a perfect malt can only be
made by the eight-day process used by
Pabst
Malt is made from barley. Barley
contains in its Elementary form the
constituents that go to build up the
human system. The process of making
malt, as some of our readers may
know is much the same as the process
of digestion. The grain is starl"d
growing and the chemical changes that
take Mace when il sprouts are similar
to the action of the digestive fluids IN
the body If the grain were eaten.
Pabst has proven by scientific OK
periments and sixty years OF practitai
brewing that eight days are required
in making malt to bring about those
necessary chemical changes by which
the perfect predigested malt is pro-
duced. In many breweries the old
four-day process is still used and the
malt is of forced, unnatural develop
ment. 1t lacks in nutrition and is in
all ways inferior, much of the vital
nutriment of the grain being lost The
Pabst eight-day mailing process re-
tains in predigested form in the beer
all of the nutritious, life-givinS ele-
ments of the grain.
Pabst eight-day malt, the perfect
malt. doubles the cost of brewing-but
method of brewing, makes Pabst Blue
Ribbon Beer superior as nourishlnS
tonic and a delicious beverage.
If your food doesn't taste just right,
or II your digestion is little of" or
your appetite is poor, drink Pabst Blue
Ribbon beer before or with your meals,
and ind out for yourself how good IL is.

Adopted by Recent Meeting of
Representative
Citizens.
THE TRACK QUESTION FIRST
Upon II Depends Factory Sites and
Other Essentials to Push Rock
Island.

Seldom in years has so much popular
interest been manifest as that attend
ing the action of the representative
gathering at the Rock Island club last
Monday evening when tangible plans
were developed and adopted looking to
Rock Islands industrial development.
The propositions involving the avail
ability of land and building accommo-
dations for factory purposes, for the Sc
curing of competitive track rights to
the lower end district, and the engage
ment of a commercial agent to advance
the city's interests. all appeal to citi-
Zens having the highest good of the
city at heart.
Track Rights First Essential.
Admittedly the first of the objects to
be attained is the track rights. Pend
ing now. and dependent upon the sue
cess of this project. is the success of
movement TO locate number of new
industries in Rock Island. One of these
is of particular Importance employing
zoo men. and it's coming here is prac-
ticaIIy contingent upon the securing of
a sufficient site and independent
switching tracks. The gaining of the

Grafton 1t, as was said and reiterated
at the club meeting, is the key to the
situation. The exclusive rights there
removed land in abundance for the use
of factories Will become Immediately
available.
Land LIS Available.
This much was pledged at Monday
nights meeting With this advantage
and the putting into effect of Mr.. Denk-
mann's enterprising plan of erecting
buildings of sufficient proportions to
encourage small factories in locating
here. Rock Island will have more new
industrial plants in the next six
months than the people dream of.
Much has already been done to the
attainment of this end. through the
tireIess efforts of the proper commit
tees of the Rock Island club and the
Retail Merchants association, of which
Joint committee, F. G. Young and |. ).
White are the heads. Both these gen
tIemen have spared neither time nor
effort, and the reward of their work for
the city's good depends now solely on
two things: First, the solution OF the
track question and secOndly-and that
is dependent absolutely upon the first !
ground for the factories that are
anxious to come.

Hon. w. A. Northcott, for two terms

through his long service as head con

order of which he was the former chief
Mr.. Northcott, as is known, was for
years one of the most conspicuous and
influential figures in the Yates political
machine in Illinois, and, realizing this
fact, the ever alert Shelby M. Cullom
some time since gave him one of the
latest federal positions in the state
and placed him in charge of his cam
paign for reelection to his seat in the
United States senate.
Since then the former lieutenant
governor has been doing things In ILL
nois republican politics, the appoint
ment of Hugh A. Mcdonald as post
master at Rock Island being one of the
moves attributed as much to his influ-
ence as to any one else.
Says CuIIom's Elected.
Mr.. Northcott talked without reserve
TO an Argus representative. last even
ing, concerning the Cullom-Yates fight.
From our standpoint it is all over but
the announcement of the result" he
said. Senator Cullom has carried the
field. And no one realizes this fact
better than Governor Yates himself.
One of his staunchest lieutenants told
me as much in Springfield but few
days ago. AS a matter of fact there is
very little necessary TO be done from
our point of view between this and
Aug 4. The sentiment for the return
of Senator Cullom will be more pro-
nounced than ever"
Asked as to the significance of the
Chicago dark horse, Mr.. Northcott
shrugged his shoulders, and replied,
THAT is mystery to me. We know
nothing of it's significance. / think it
is a joke
