HAVE TWO HOUSES
Island City Boating Association
and Naval Reserves Build
Separately.
MANAGERS HOLD A MEETING
Both to Be at the Foot of Twelfth
Street, If the City wiz Grant
Necessary Permission.

The managers of the Island City
Boating association and the officers of
the Naval Reserves met with Commo-
dore t. E. Carsons Saturday night
and the plans of the two organizations
were discussed in detail 1t was de-
cided that separate houses should be
built, the boat clubs house 70 be a
structure 20x30 feet with wide We
,randa, and the naval militia house to
be 40x40 feet in dimensions, with
plenty of room inside for the two
boats the reserves are to be allotted
1t is the intention of the committees
TO build the houses at the very foot
of Twelfth street if the city will grant
the necessary permission. 1t has been
found that that is the most desirable
place for the structures as the railroad
tracks interfere at other places
The guard hired by the boat club
will report for work this week and
will live in a tent until the house is
ready for occupancy.
Rooms Are Secured.
The committee which had the mat
ter of log booms in charge, reported
having clOsed a deal with the Rock
Island Sash q Door works by which
the club secures a boom about 700
feet long. More booms will be Sc
cured and they will be arranged three
deep and a walk will be placed OH
them for a landing.
The last meeting of the boat club
before the closing of the charter will
be held at the city hall Thursday
evening. The entire membership is
urged to attend as important business
will come up.

If your ankle lame you would aid it. If the

food, and completely. 1t does all that the health

Pepsin is part of it, but pepsn digests abumen

Digesters which depend solely pepsin do only
