Advise to Boil Water.-City Physi-
clan DR.. WA. Stoecks and Health Off
Ger DIR. J.W.Mullin have issued a warn
ing to the residents of. Davenport, adj
vising them to boil their drinking wa
ter as a measure looking toward the
wiping out of diphtheria and typhoid
fever, both of which are now preva-
lent in Davenport. DR. Mullin stated
that if $3.50 worth of anti-toXin was
purchased at the first symptom of
diphtheria it would prevent that dis
ease. from gaining a foothold i'll the
patient and that $3.50 invested in
anti-toxin at the start would go as
far as 81 or IS worth after the disease
had assumed an advanced stage.

LENGTH OF THE DAYS.
Difference Between the Star Day and
the Sun Day.

How long. after all. is a day? The
Biographies say that it is the time re-
quired for the earth 70 turn once on
its axis, that it measures twenty-four
hours by the clock and that fraction
more than SO of them are to be found
in a year
1t is 4 good plan when one reads
anything in Il book to test it when he
can for himself. We want to see just
how long it takes the earth to turn
over once. Let us take any one Of
the fixed stars that chances to be in
line with some convenient point and,
watch III hand, notice the precise mo
ment at which the star touches, let us
say, a particular tree, branch or stee-
pie on the horizon line. If ON the next
evening we stand at precisely the same
spot and sight the same star again il.
line with the same point as before,
then we shall know that the earth has
turned on its axis just once.
CuriOusly enough, however, we shall
discover, if this is done carefully. that,
in spite of what the books say, it does
not require twenty-four hours for the
/ earth to turn over once. About four
minutes before the day is up, by tho
clock, the earth has revolved once and
brought the star back to its old posi-
ton in the sky Really. then, the earth
turns on its axis once i'll twenty three
hours. fiftY-siX minutes and four sec.

MOLINE

Evangelist Delayed.-Rev. J. p. Mil
Ter of the Swedish Methodist church
has received word that Rev. Carl Elk
lund will not be able to come to Moline
to take up evangelistic work till Nov.
49, 1t had been his plan to come here
tomorrow and open a series of reyi-
val services. He is at present engaged
in Joliet, and so deeply has he stirred
the people there that they have united
in demand that he continue a week
longer, and he has acquiesced. The
Joliet press is giving considerable
space to the Eklund meetings and
praises the work that is being done.
Mrs. J. p. Miller, wife of the local
pastor. has been summoned to Joliet
to assist in the musical part of the
services.
! More Boilermakers Come.-Twenty
five boilermakerS have arrived from
various parts of the northwest and
! have been given work at the SilviS
shops of the Rock Island road. This
swells the total number of boilermak-
ers now at work to Co. and brings the
force closer to the number at work be-
fore the walkOut. The increase in this
department has made it possible for
the shop officials to put men at work
in other departments. and the force
generally Is being gradually increased.
At present SO engines are undergoing
repairs in the machine shop and there
are 20 engines in graveyard await
ing their turn i'll the shop. This is
about the number usually on hand and
work is assuming 4 normal condition
once more. Rolling stock is reported
in better condition on the Rock Island
lines than for some time, and particu
larry is this true of motive power.

 Thousands of cures prove the merit of Deans Kidney Pills. Hare is case at home:
 A PHOENIX CASE
 James A. Taylor. of 302 South 18th avenue, Phoenix, Ariz., says: Since l publicly recommended Doan's Kidney Pills in 1902 numbers of people have come to me asking about my case and to ascertain if the statement was ab- solutely true. It is needless to say that I have on every occasion acknowledged the genuineness of it, and in conse- quence others have been induced to try Doan's Kidney Pills, and I have their word that the results obtained were most satisfactory. My original state ment was to the effect that Doans Kidney Pills had cured me of kidney complaint from which I had been sufferer for five or six years. When ever I caught cold it settled in my kidneys and caused my back to be very painful and to the extent that I could neither sit. stand or lie down without suffering. I had to be con stantly shifting from one position to another. When having a severe attack I learned about Doan's Kidney Fills. I used three boxes and the results could hardly have been more satisfactory. The pain and lameness left me entire ly and from that time on I have never had a return of the annoyances, al though five years have elapsed since I was cured"

Half tle nervousness, half the irri- tability tl1at is so common in every day life, Is. really sickness, and in most cases a cGndition that accompanies kidney trouble
 It is the work of the kidneys to keep the blood free' from uric acid and other poisons. but when the kidneys are sick and not doing their duty. the uric acid poison permeateS the body and attacks body, brain and nerves. The irrita- tion causes nervousness, irritability. headache, dizzy spells; makes you lan- guid, unfit for work and inclined to worry over trifles. Besides, there is nothing more annoying than, a bad back, and backache isl the most com mon sign of kidney trd'uble.

1T PAYS TO

Mary had little lamb.
 It's fleece was white as snow; It strsycd away one day
 Where lambs should never go. And Mary sat her quickly down, And tears stresmed from her eyesi She never found the lamb, because, She did rot advertise. And Mary had brother John,
 Who kept a village store; He sat him down and smoked a pipe, And watched the open door. And as the people passed along
 And did not stop to buy, John still sat and smoked his pipe And blinked his sleepy eye. And so the sheriff closed him out, But still he fingered near, And Mary came to drop
 4 sympathetic tear. How is 1t, sister, can you tell
 Why other merchants here Sell all their goods so readily.
 And thrive from year to yesr?" Remembering her own bad luck, The little maid replies: These other fellows get there, John, Because they advertise"
 Like Mary in the above poem we have learned by experience that it pays to advertise and that, in connection with the fact that the goods we han de are the best and at the same time ''e cheapest when the quality is con- s'dered, is responsible for our success here.
