the sand boats have complained for
some time that the water is not deep
enough there and the United States

Bars were forming across the outlet
of the slough and were impeding the
flow of water from the power dam
on the island, making the dredging
a necessary process.

The Cause of Colds
Good Advice Regarding the Proven
ton of Coughs and Colds.

If people would only properly fOrtify
and strengthen their system, about IS
per cent OF coughs. colds and pneu-
monia might be avoided. These trou-
bles are simply the result of weak
ness. which produces a catarrhal con-
dition of the mucous membrane, which
is as an internal skin of the body
When this skin is weakened. it be-
comes infected with germs which are
carried through the system by the
blood. These parasites attack and
break these delicate tissues and set
up soreness which produce what is
III reality all external scrofula.
The only thing that will cure coughs
ard colds and prevent pneumonia is
medication which is absorbed and
carried by the blood so that the dis
eased membrane is disinfected, clean
ed. soothed and healed.
We have remedy which we hon
cstly believe invaluable and unsurpas-
sable for the prevention and cure Of
coughs. colds and ali catarrhal condi
tons. 1t is the prescription of a
famous physician. who has an enviable
reputation of 80 years of cures gained
through the use OF this medicine. We
promise to either effect cure jim
every case or make no charge for tile
medicine. We urge everybody in
Rock Island >who has need of such a
medicine to try Rexall Mucu-Tone

tate our claim in every particular

should hesitate to accept our offer and
try it. We have two sizes of Rexall
!, Mucu-Tone. Prices so cents and 81.
Sometimes so cent bottle is suffi.

10 Use Vitrified BIocks.-Vitrified
paving blocks will be used in the i'm
provement of Seventeenth avenue be-
tween Tenth and Fifteenth streets, the
board of local improvements having
decided, after careful investigation,
that they are practical, both from the
viewpoint of service and cost. There
is no pavement of this sort in the
three cities, but in cities where it has
been used it has given excellent sat
isfaction. Each block will be 31ax4XS
inches; the ordinary brick is 2X4XS.
The blocks will be laid on a concrete
foundation and on edge, each block
running lengthwise across the avenue,
with the 3la inch surface up.

AN UNFORTUNATE ENDING.

Great wit to madness is close. al

ings bring pleasure to others, are too
apt to produce melancholy in their
possessor Witness the tragic death of
Arthur Epson, Minnesota lad-he was

committed suicide at Bemidji several
days ago. Epson was rarely gifted, and
his verse was delicate graceful and
thoughtful He had achieved consid-

Use of future achievement in the field

the shyness, constituencies and inabil-
ity to deal with things material that is
so often associated with genius, and
this led to an attempt at self destruc-
ton several years ago at Bemidji.
Thiry-one years of age is barely
the threshold of activity and useful
ness. The things that make for
achievement, for honor, for distinc-

many years after that time-in the
great majority of cases after forty and

The rewards of a conscientious de-
votion to literature are apt to be slow
and meagre, and the steps by which
advancement are pnade hating and
difficult And appreciation too often
needs death to crystalline it and bring
worth and merit into clear perspective.
But the student and the creator of that

hold sound and wholesome philosophy
that enables him to meet reverse with
a smile and lack of appreciation with
a knowledge that sometime there will
be dawn over the eastern hills, even
though he be not there to see.
