In the building at 2o5 Wabash avenue. The
first floor was occupied by the Story q

doors by the Lotus Lunch Club, which was
patronized exclusively by women.
When the flames were discovered fully 200
women, including the employees. were in the
place. and at the first cry of fire an I'M

leaped from the windows OF the second and
third stories to the street below. BY far
the greater number however, rushed to the
fire escapes.
This was filled in a few seconds with
n struggling mass of women. making
desperate efforts to- climb down. num-
Der of them lost their holds and fell to
the street. and others were pushed on.
Women Were Cut Oh. 90

terrific speed, cut of several women in

The great football game of the year,
the contest between the Rock Island

weeks, and the attendance is unusuallr

park was gay with colors when the
game was called.
The game this afternoon practically

that the Davenport team is not of the
class of Moline and Rock Island, AMI
has no chance to defeat Moline. Indi-
cations up to today have been that

Constipation is one of mans worst
enemies, and half the bodily ills we
suffer from are a result thereof Ma

kept free and open-that we should
have a free movement at least once a
day. Of course,J we ourselves are to
large extent responsible for our trou-

laws. Our habits our irregular, we eat
improper food with undue haste, and
when we find our bowels do not move.
have resort to powerful drugs and
medicines, which are so drastic in
their action that, although they may
purge at first, they damage the tender
lining of the stomach and bowels so
as to leave a worse condition than be-

and expensive drugs when we can OBJ
tain from any druggist, much cheaper,

Real Thanksgiving Dinner In London.

Half dozen American members Of
the Five O'clock club in London have
arranged for an elaborate Thanksgiv-

from the United States, says a special
cable dispatch from London to the
New York Herald. Mr. Randolph Nor
decai. whose home is in Baltimore and
at whose London house the dinner is
to be given, will have terrapin and
Lynn Haven bay oysters sent over.
Judge Glaiser of Boston will supply
mince pies made at the Parker House,
and Marcus Mayer has written to a
friend in Rhode Island for the biggest
chestnut fed turkey he can find So
it goes all through the whole menu.
Everything is to be distinctly Ameri-

mia sherry to rum for the punch. The

BIG VlVISECTION FARM.
Elaborate Project of Rockefeller In
stitute of Medical Research.

Elaborate Project of Rockefeller In
stitute of Medical Research.
Vivisection on larger scale and by
more scientific methods than ever has
been practiced is being arranged for
by the Rockefeller Institute For Med
zeal Research, the Organization created
and endowed four years ago by John
d. Rockefeller, says the New York
Herald. The first step in the elabo-
rate scheme has been taken in the pur-
chase of a ninety-seven acre farm in
New Jersey near New Brunswick
The stocking of this farm with ami
mails and fowls for vivisection pur
poses has been begun. When the ar
rangements are completed the farm
will be the most scientifically equip
ped and extensive place of its kind in
the world.
One of the reasons for the establish
ment of this first great scientific farm
was the increased facilities that could
be obtained for scientific work Here
animals may be bred and guarded.
heredity i'll its bearing on disease OBJ
served and the quality of the raw ma
terial for vivisection work may better
be known and controlled, Still an
other important reason was the item
of expense. So broad have become the
activities of the institute in medical
research and so heavy has become its
demand for animals that the animal
dealers of Manhattan and the small
boys who round up stray dogs and
| cats on the east side for vivisection
purposes are unable TO supply the de
mand at a reasonable cost 10 the in
| stitute.
As soon as buildings are completed
| the farm will be stocked with animals
| of all kinds needed for vivisection pur-
poses. There is to be a monkey house
| that will contain more monkeys than
| any ZOO. Special attention. in fact. is
| to be paid to the raising of monkeys
| because of their peculiar relationship
| to man and their consequent high val
ue for research purposes. The dog
| kennels will be extensive and will ac-
commodate hundreds of dogs. There
will be pens for sheep and goats, the
latter especially playing an important
| part in the work of the institute on
| account of the uses to which goat
serum is being put. A unique build
| ing will be the one to be provided for
mice, another animal of peculiar value
| to the vivisectionist. Many of the ex-
| periments at the Rockefeller institute
/ have been conducted on mice, which
have been inoculated with the poison
| of tumors, cancer and tuberculosis.
| The quarters for the guinea pigs and
rabbits will be large, for very large
i number of both are used.
1 All of the buildings are to be ar
ranged to prevent the possible escape
of any of the animals. At the Rookie
Teller institute the attendants have the
greatest fear of the bite OF inoculated
II animals.
There is also to be a chicken and
pigeon department. Horses and COWS
to small number will form part OF
the menagerie. Adequate provision /:
to be made for every kind of ANNA
ever required by the vivisectionist
One Of the first moves to be made /!
to set aside five acres to be planted il
vegetables for animal food.

MAY OR May NOT Be
Quail Hunters Out Tomorrow
Open to Prosecution if Any
one Complains.
CASH MOTIVE IS LACKING
Ordinary Citizen Gets Nothing for His
Trouble and Game Wardens
Have Their Instructions.

Rock Island shooters are in doubt
as to whether it will be safe to shoot
quail tomorrow Attorney Genera.
Stead has given the opinion that the
law as amended by the present legi5-
ature should be interpreted to include
Nov. 10 and Dec. 20 in the closed days
State Game Commissioner Wheeler
however, has ordered the deputy wa
dens throughout the state to refrain
from prosecuting those who shoot the
birds on the two days named. holding
that it was the intention of the legi3-
latuTe to make the open season Al
days instead of 80 days, in spite of the
fact that the section of the game law
applying to the shooting of quail reads
as follows: 1T is hereby declared to
be unlawful to hunt, kill, net. entrap.
ensnare, destroy or attempt to hunt.
kill, net, entrap, ensnare or destroy
or have, in possession, any quail from
the Goth day of December to the 10th
day of November (bOth inclusive) Of
each succeeding year"
Depends Upon Circumstances.
The situation seems to be that the
quail shooter who goes forth tomo"-
row may be prosecuted if anyone
cares to make complaint. If he is
careful to see to it that there is no
cause for making complaint it is likely
that he will not be troubled. The
deputy game wardens are the only
ones who receive any portion of the
