1t took Mrs. James H. Titus. of 1o7
Clinton ST., Warren, Pa, many years to
realize that there was only one way to
cure nervous dyspepsia. That all the
digestive mixtures and BitterS in the
world would not do it, and that the only
true way was to first put the nervous
system that controls the organs of d.
gestion in perfect working order so that
the food might be properly handled and
digested. She says: DIR. A. w. Chase's
Nerve Pills are just splendid. My

MOLINE

Banner Takes Up Work.-FriendS
of Frank Banner will be pleased in
learn that he intends to go into busl-
ness for himself He has announced
that he has resigned his position as
chief clerk of the Rock Island freight
ONCE in Moline and will take charge
of the auditing of freight express
bills, business which was recently
established by Fred Strombeck an
which he has relinquished so that he
can secure for himself a better edu.
cation. Mr.. Strombeck opened the
first Office of this kind in Moline, il,
the Langbehn block and has made a
decided success of it but now intends
to take course in university, hence
he has sold out.
Church Notwithstanding the
past seven weeks the First Methodist
church of this city has been closed for
repairs and improvements and a nota-
bic transformation has taken place.
The exterior appearance is not much
changed as the painters brush ha j;
but within some splendid IMPROVE
ments have been introduced. One of
the most pleasing of these greets one
as he enters the front door, for he
no longer faces the frowning. wall of
furnace room but swinging doors ad-
nit him to the chapel beyond. The
old furnace has been removed and the
furnace room torn away, leaving two
splendid class rooms, on either side
of the wide hall opening into the Sun
day school chapel. The north side of
this Sunday school room has been par
titioned off forming four pleasant class
| rooms for individual classes. A toilet
room has also been added to this
first story of the building. A new
heating vacuum steam heating plant
has been installed, which is guaran-
teed to thoroughly warm the building
and insure comfort in every part of
the building even in the coolest
weather. An entirely new system of
wiring and fixtures for electric light
ing has been put in throughout the
building
