New Version of
An Old Adage
Do You Eat For Mere Stimulation Or
For Real Nutrition

In matters of money, there is an old
adage that says. ITS not so much
what you earn as what you save, and
Just so, in the question of food and
health, it might be said as truly. IT'S
not so much what you eat as what real
nourishment you get out of what you
eat"
This Is the secret of health. strength
and vitality. No difference how much
nutrition your food contains, if your
system does not assimilate that nutri-
tion-take it up and distribute 1t
throughout your body-you gain moth
ing beyond a temporary stimulation by
having eaten il.
Malta-Vita, best whole white wheat.
mixed with pure barley malt extract.
thoroughly steamed and cooked and
every flake baked to n crisp. is rich
in nutrition and is assimilated readily
even by the weakest stomach Every
one of its health giving. strength
building elements is taken up by the
system to nourish and sustain life.
And Malta-Vita is so good to eat'
perfect breakfast is impossible with
out 1t. and it's just as good three times
n day. Try a bowIful with cream. You
never tasted anything so good.

The Councils Surprising Defiance of
Public Sentiment

II is doubtful if ever before in the
history of Rock Island. a city council
has adopted a course so pointedly and
emphatiCally in defiance of public SEN
timent as did the Rock Island council
last evening in the passage of the
Central Union Telephone cOmpany's
new ordinance in the face of what
amounts practically to the unanimous
protest of the community.
BY that unprecedented act the alder
men ceased to be servants of the peo
pie who sent them to the municipal
assembly, and assumed autocratic
powers. recognizing the rights of the
Central Union Telephone company as
paramount to those of the taxpayers
and citizens generally.
And this from the same body that
but a few months ago gave notice to
the same company that it either re,
spect the claims of the people and ad-
here to their demands and treat them
fairly or suffer ejectment from the city
What has happened since to change
the attitude of the aldermen? is 4
question that may well be asked.
| bn ,r,hn Il
men needed in the former instance
have not changed. Rather have the
people reemphasized, in the presence
of the council, their former demands.
Is it any wonder that CONSERVATION
prevails in all parts of the city where
the news of last nights action of the
council has been heard? Is it any won
der that Indignation is expressed OF
every side?
There is no excuse that the alder
men can make for their course of las
evening They have asserted their in
dependence of the taxpayers and the
public generally. and in so doing have
merited the condemnation that they
have brought down upon their shoul
ders.
Their act is as odius as the ordi
nance they. in conjunction with th'
Central Union Telephone company
have sought to force down the neck
of the people.

Should know how to conduct Il great
criminal case in New York court.
They order those things differently
here.
Prominent New York lawyers are
roughly divided into two classes-cor-
poration lawyers and criminal lawyers.
The criminal lawyer is one who has
not had an opportunity to practice cor
poration law, and the corporation law
yer would be ashamed generally to
know the penal code. When by chance
the size of the fee or the prominence
of a client tempts him 10 try a Grim
inal case. professional respect COM
mands that he shall make mess of If
so far as circumstances permit
Yet it was not always so. The lead
ers of an older bar had no contempt
for the criminal practice. In those
days Il mans life was considered of as
much importance as his property and
quite as much in need of defense
Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr
who were the leaders of the New York
bar in their time, would have regarded
| themselves as incompetent if they had
not been able to try a great criminal
case. Nine months before he argued
| the Dartmouth college case Webster
successfully defended the Kennistons
highway robbery. The summer after
he made his reply to Hayne. Webster
assisted in the prosecution of John F
Knapp and Joseph J. Knapp for the
murder of Joseph White. Lincoln's de
Tense of Duff" Armstrong. who haC
been indicted for murder, has passet
into history as classic.
Only since the development of great
corporations have eminent lawyers
steadily sighted criminal practice or
account of the increa sing rewards o.
civil practice. 1t is seldom that a largj
case. while large fees are the rule il
corporation cases. Moreover corpOr
atoms do not often commit crimes o
violence and passion. When they con
template a crime of cunning agains
the community they want lawyer no
to defend them, but TO tell them how
to cOntrive the thing legally. The OF
binary murderer or burglar cannot com
pete in bidding for such talents. so h
has to take his chances in court Will
whatever kind of lawyer fate bestow
upon him.
| Rarely can the defendant in even
very sensational murder trial comman,
the services of a lawyer like Mr. Del
mas TO pit against a brilliant prosecu
tor like Mr.. Jerome But when thi
happens. the struggle presents all III
elements OF a tremendous drama o
life and death which commands III
attention of everybody.

does not mean that the sale of liquor
