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 constitutional disease.
but the result of a germ invasion of
which only Herpicide can effectually
rid the scalp.
Washing only cleans the scalp of
dandruff, it doesn't kill the germs.
Destroy the cause, you remove the
effect"
Newbro's Herpicide will do this in
every cHse. 1t is also a delightful
dressing.

SOME EASY MONEY Is HERE
Rock Island County Corn Pickers
Should Get Ii.

Judging by a challenge which has
been made to Scott county corn husk-
ers by Fritz Kaugher of Blue Grass It
will be safe for some Rock Island
county expert to go after the money
across the river. Kaugher boasts of
a record for having cribbed los bush
els of corn between 6 in the morning
and 5 in the afternoon. This was
done in grain yielding IS bushels Pc
acre. Here in Rock Island county 1t
is nothing for a good picker to aver
age 100 or more bushels daily an
there are several authentic records
this fall in which 125 or more bushels
have been cribbed in less time than
the Scott county artist took to stow
away his little old los bushels.

SUCCESSFUL TONIC TREATMENT
FoR INDIGESTION.
DR.. williams Pink Pills Cured This
Woman and Have Cured Many
Hundreds Of other Cases Of
Common Ailments.

LOSS OF appetite. coated tongue, bad
taste in the mouth. heavy dull head
ache and a dull, sluggish feeling-these
are the symptoms of stomach trouble.
They Indicate that the stomach is on a
strike. that Il Is no longer furnishing
to the blood the full quota OF nourish-
ment that the body demands. hence
every organ suffers.
There are two methods of treatment.
the old one by which the stomach Is
humored by the use OF predigested
foods and artificial ferments, and the
new one by which the stomach Is
toned up to do the work which nature
intended of it. A recent cure by the
tonic treatment is that of Mrs. Mary
stackpole, of 81 Liberty street, Lo'
well, Mass. She says:
II suffered constantly for years from
stomach trouble and terrible backaches
and was confined to my bed the great
er part of three years. l was under
the care of our family physician most
OF the time, but did not seem to get
better.
II was completely rundown and was
not able to do my work about the
house My blood was impure and my

es of heat, followed suddenly by chills.

from three to four days. / could get

These wonderful pills are useful in q
wide range of diseases such as anaemia,
rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, nerv-
Gus headaches, and even locomotor
ataxia and partial paralysis.
The great value of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills lies in the faact that they
actually make new blood and this car
rles health and strength to every por-
tion of the body. The stomach is toned
up, the nerves are strengthened, every
organ is stimulated to do its work.

.HEL|OPOL|s DOCTOR
Tells A WEIRD TALE

A passenger on the Alameda, arriv-
ing yesterday, was DR.. j. C. McPher-
son, who was surgeon on the British
steamer Heliopolis on her recent trip
from Malaga, Spain, to Honolulu, with
23OO emigrants for the islands. This
miles. is the longest on record by an
emigrant ship, according to DR.. Nc
Pherson, wi 4 Is now on his return
home to England. The steamer, he
says, sailed along very peacefully with
her host of poor spaniards, until
emerging from the Straits of Magellan
into the Pacific, when such terrific
weather was encountered that the pas
sengers were driven into their quarters,
and every precaution taken to prevent
the laundering of the steamer. The
skipper, says DR.. Mcpherson, was
frightened, and said later that had
anything gone wrong with the machin-
cry or steering gear the Heliopolis
would have brought up or the rocks
inside Cape Pillar, and all hands would
have become a prey to the savages in
Testing those inhospitable shores. For
tunately, however, the Heliopolis,
though sorely tried, rode through the
great gales and emerged safely from
the narrow straits that menace vessels
in that part of the world.
The Heliopolis is to proceed from Ho-
nolulu to China to fit out for South
Africa. where several thousand Chinese
laborers are to be taken aboard for
transportation back to their home
country. These Chinese have served
their time in South Africa. and by the
terms OF their contract have to be-
turned to Hongkong.-S. F. Chronicle.

THE SALOON
BOUNDARIES

Some progress was made by the Lilo.
uor License Commission, at yesterday s
meeting, toward the selection of an in
spector A further consideration OF
candidates will be had this afternoon.
There was no further discussion OF
the question of delimiting saloon IL
cense boundaries. Before taking action
on this matter the board desires to
obtain expressions of public opinion
through the press or otherwise.
There Is not unanimous belief on
the part of the Commissioners as to
whether the law authorizes 1t to estab-
lish boundaries. A minority opinion Is
| that the general directions in the law,
regarding saloon limits. cannot be ex>
ceeded by the board without danger of
its action being overthrown in the
courts. In support of this view it is
argued that any applicant for a Ii
cense within the bounds incidentally
has right to demand that his appli-
cation be considered. A portion of the
section containing that clause reads as
follows and there is nothing in the law
which is more definite regarding boun.
daries-and that is not saying a great
deal for the comprehensIveness of the
measure which should have been ex-
pected:
Section .. Licenses of the following
classes may be granted under the pro-
visions of this Act:
Second Retail License. To sell in
toxicating liquors of any kind and in
any quantity. Under this license the
holder may conduct the following kinds
of business, to wit: saloon, hotel or
restaurant
1.-The fee for this class of license shall
be:
Il. For saloon or hotel premises To-
Gated wholly or in part within a radius
| of five miles from a first, second or
] third-class postoffice, Seven Hundred
and Fifty Dollars ($750.OO).
''2. For premises not located within
the limits of the districts above de-
scribed. Two Hundred and Fifty Dol
lars ($25OOO)."
There are other general limits pre-
scribed with relation to distance from
church and schoolhouse, which are def
mite enough but do not touch the pres
ent question.
Even if the opinion against formal
rule to delimit the boundaries should
prevail, the law seems to give broad
enough discretion to the Commission
to refuse license to any place where
they deem it inimical to the public
welfare An understanding at the
board might be as effective as writ
ten rule for delimiting saloon bounda-
ries.
This, however, is question of law.
| What the Commission desires to hear
expressions of opinion from the public
upon is the limits within which saloon
licenses should be kept, whether under
rules and regulations or in the discre-
| tion of the Commission. There can be
only one respectable opinion upon the
question of whether or not saloon ter
ritory should be strictly defined. The
fivc-mile radius provision, on it's face,
is merely permissive.

Chief of Engineers of the War Depart
